Zhang Xu's mother told me, "Actually, we didn't ask you and Xiao Xu for money. At the beginning, it was your eldest brother who said that he wanted to give us 5,000 yuan alone. We now live with him, and we can only listen to him. They didn't give us any money either. ”

As soon as I heard her say this, I asked, "Didn't we give you all the money?" ”

"It's for me. At the beginning, your sister-in-law was also pretending. After we took your money, your dad said that we couldn't let your family take the money. You still have to build a house, and it's very bitter. gave all the money to Xiao Xu again. ”

As soon as I heard this, I realized that the old man's money had been given to Zhang Xu. But Zhang Xu didn't tell me that his parents had already returned the money to him. Why didn't he tell me? Did you not want me to know the money, or did you forget to tell me?

Zhang Xu's mother saw that I didn't speak, so she asked me again: "Wen Li, didn't Xiao Xu's money give you?" ”

"The money has been put in Zhang Xu's hands, and he has saved it, but he hasn't told me about it." I say.

When Zhang Xu's mother heard me say this, she seemed to be a little scared and said to me: "Wen Li, maybe Xiao Xu forgot to tell you." Don't go back and tell him I'm telling you about it. ”

I know that Zhang Xu's parents have always been afraid of these two sons, and I don't know why. They did not dare to speak loudly in front of their two sons. It seems that he is always looking at his son's face and lives. I've seen this for a long time. Now that I hear Zhang Xu's mother tell me like this, I naturally won't go back to ask Zhang Xu. so as not to trouble her.

So I said, "I don't ask him." I think he forgot to tell me. Anyway, the money is in his hands, it doesn't matter if he tells me or not, and he won't give the money to others. "What I said was to comfort Zhang Xu's mother, and it was also what I thought in my heart. Because I never thought that Zhang Xu would give money to others for nothing. I know his character too well. Even if he had a woman outside, he wouldn't give the money to that woman.

Only the woman posted it to him.

As Zhang Xu said, anyway, when it comes to building a house, the money has to be taken out, so who to put it is not the same? So although I knew about it, not only did I not ask Zhang Xu, but I didn't care too much. I didn't take it to heart.

Because Duoduo never thought that one day Zhang Xu would file for divorce with me without hesitation when he saved enough money to build a house. I was even so confident that I thought that Zhang Xu would never divorce me for the rest of his life.

I feel like I've suffered so much with him. How could he abandon me? And I'm so good to him and their family. The most important thing is that I am not unworthy of Zhang Xu. Whether it is in terms of appearance, cultural accomplishment, and the ability to earn money, I can compare with him. What reason does he have for divorce me?

As for me, although I don't have much affection for Zhang Xu now. But by all accounts, I'm not going to divorce him. Let's just get by. After all, we're both second-married couples. People can't keep getting married and divorced in this life, right?

Since I think that Zhang Xu has no reason to divorce me, and it is impossible for me to divorce Zhang Xu. That means we may grow old, so why bother with whose money we put it in?

It quickly passed, and I quickly forgot about it. As for why Zhang Xu hid this money, I didn't know his purpose until later.

Zhang Xu's father tried on the pants I made for him, and he felt that it fit very well. So he was very happy to call.

I was busy with work, and Zhang Xu told me: "Wen Li, the pants you made for my dad Dad put them on, and said that they were very good, and he thanked you." ”

"That's what your dad called? I thought there was something else? ”

"Yes, that's it, we don't have time to pass now, he just called and said. Isn't it also to show my gratitude to you? Zhang Xu said.

"It's all a family, what's there to be thankful for? He squeaked if he wanted to do anything. I said to Zhang Xu.

"Wen Li, my dad said let's go over when he has time."

"What's the matter?" I asked Zhang Xu.

"I listened to my dad, my mom said your pants were good, and she wanted you to make a dress too." Zhang Xu said.

"Okay, then let's go over early when we go back one day, I'll help your mother measure the size, and I'll make it for her when I'm done." I promised.

"Actually, if you want me to say that you shouldn't have made pants for your dad in the first place. When he asked you to change it, you changed it for him, and if you couldn't change it, you just told them no? You'll have to go to the market and buy him some cloth to make it. It's good now, he's done, mom has to do it again, how can we have time to do it for them all the time? Zhang Xu complained and said.

I know that Zhang Xu is afraid that I will make clothes for them, and I will waste manpower and material resources. But are they his parents after all?

So I persuaded him: "Zhang Xu, you said that your parents are so old, and they don't need us anything, don't you just help them make some clothes?" Wouldn't I? Since you will, I'll do something for them, what's there? ”

"They didn't give birth to me, can't they always let us do this and that for them? Others won't do it, and won't they buy it? How much does it cost us to make them a dress than to buy it? Zhang Xu continued to complain.

In fact, what Zhang Xu said was right. It is true that we make a piece of clothing at a higher cost than buying a ready-made one.

Because the clothes of the elderly are actually quite cheap now, and our wages to make a piece of clothing may be more expensive than buying a piece of clothing. But tailor-made is always much better than buying, and it is much more fitted.

"How can I do it well? How much do I do? I said to Zhang Xu.

"It's just because you're doing well that mom has to do it, and if you don't do well, won't you have this thing? Dad said that the pants you made were the best he had ever worn. He said he was reluctant to wear it. ”

"What's there to wear? I'll make it for him again if it's worn out. I said.

"Are you still addicted? Why don't you call you stupid? Don't we have that time to do more work and make more money? You don't even know how to settle this account? "I was kind to Zhang Xu's parents, not only was he not grateful, but he also thought I was stupid.

Although I don't feel very comfortable, I don't care about him in general. Stupid is stupid, and he is not the only one who says I am stupid. I'm used to it anyway. Who made me not know how to refuse? Not to mention Zhang Xu's parents, even if outsiders ask for me, as long as I have time, I will help.

When I didn't open a store, I would use my spare time to help out when someone's clothes were threaded, or to make an insole or something.

How can a person not need people in this life? If you can help, you can help.

"Zhang Xu, who to settle accounts with can't settle accounts with your parents?" I said to Zhang Xu. I've always felt that Zhang Xu's attitude towards his parents is not good. So I always look for every opportunity to persuade him to be kind to his parents.

Because they're all old after all. When people are old, they need children the most.

I treated his parents like this, but I didn't expect that one day his mother and son would join forces and bully me. Completely oblivious to all the good to them. It seems that a daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law after all, even if she is usually good to them, when she has a conflict with her son, she will help her son with a clear conscience.
