Chapter 7 Expedition for Love
Returning home from Xianyuan International Hotel, Du Manlin dragged Kang Jiawei into the bedroom and closed the door again.
"Jia Wei, tell you something."
"What, it has to be so mysterious?"
"I plan to go south with Zheng Xiaoya to work."
Kang Jiawei's face suddenly froze, and his eyes stared at her blankly.
Du Manlin said: "I know you won't agree, but we owe so much debt when we get married, I really can't bear to let you carry it alone." ”
Kang Jiawei did not speak.
"We have to pay off our debts and have a savings before the baby comes. Otherwise, I would have been in a bad mood all day long. If you are pregnant with a child, a bad mood will affect his development, and if the child is born, not having good conditions will affect his health. We can't afford to let our children lose at the starting line. ”
Kang Jiawei still didn't say anything.
Du Manlin continued: "A family can only be run well if the husband and wife work together, and two hands always create more wealth than one pair. ”
Kang Jiawei finally spoke: "Man Lin, I know you want to share my worries, and I also know that you want to get our family out of poverty as soon as possible. However, I can't and can't bear to put the burden of the family on your shoulders, because you are a woman, and earning money to support the family is not a woman's business, but a man's business. ”
"Do you think it's good to keep me at home and eat and drink for nothing? Every day when I see you hurrying out of the house, sweating profusely, my heart is bleeding. ”
Kang Jiawei couldn't tell whether he was moved or heartbroken, and hugged Du Manlin into his arms: "I'm fine, every time I come home and see you, I forget about tiredness." Manlin, please believe me, I will definitely make our family rich day by day with my efforts, and let you be a broad wife in the future. ”
"Jia Wei, I believe that you are a good man who dares to take responsibility, but I also want you to believe that I am a good woman who supports herself. Love is to be responsible, love should give to each other, if your love for me just wants me to be an idle wife, then this kind of love can only bring me pain. ”
Kang Jiawei gently held up her chin: "Actually, I don't want to interfere with your choice, but I am really reluctant to leave you." When you are not at home, I will definitely live like a year, and I will not be able to stay. ”
"If you can't stay, you can go with me, I heard that the income from decoration in the south is more than ten times higher than ours here!"
Kang Jiawei hesitated: "I don't know if my mother agrees?" Before I got married, I proposed to go south to work, but my mother didn't agree, saying that it was chaotic outside, and she was wandering alone, and she was not at ease. ”
At this time, Kang's mother's voice faintly came from outside the bedroom: "I agree, with Manlin accompanying you, how can I feel at ease." ”
Kang Jiawei opened the bedroom door, and Kang's mother stood at the door: "Mom, why did you come back?" At noon, Manlin's classmates had a treat, I gave you a bag, put it in the pot, and you ate it. ”
Kang's mother said, "I'm back early, listen to you." In the future, you will worry less about me, and I will take care of myself. If you want to go outside, then go ahead! However, the two of them have to go together, and they can't separate the husband and wife. ”
Du Manlin said: "Mom, Jiaying usually lives in school, Jiawei and I both went, and you are the only one at home..."
Kang's mother said: "It's okay, I'm in good health now, I can take care of myself." ”
With the support of Kang's mother, Kang Jiawei's concerns were completely eliminated. He asked confidently, "Manlin, when will you leave?" ”
Du Manlin said: "Don't worry, you quit the work at hand first." I'll go with Xiaoya first, and when I'm settled, you can come out. ”
"Man Lin, I don't want to quit my current job, in case..."
Du Manlin interrupted him: "If you don't want to quit, then you'd better not go." There is no turning back when the bow is opened, and when the leg is stepped out, it cannot be retracted, but can only move forward, just like a soldier charging on the battlefield, if you block his way back, he can only rush forward at the cost of his life. Therefore, if you really want to do something after leaving your hometown and not be ridiculed, you must quit your current job and completely cut off your own retreat. ”
Kang Jiawei suddenly realized and gave a thumbs up: "Man Lin, I didn't expect you to stand taller than me and see far." Okay, it's up to you. ”
On the first night of Du Manlin's southern drift, Du Mu rushed into Kang's house in a rage. This is the first time Du's mother has come to Kang's house, Du Manlin has invited her many times before, and every time she says, "Just your dilapidated thatched house, eight sedan chairs, I won't go." ”
The sudden visit to Du's mother made Kang's mother, who was washing the dishes and chopsticks, first surprised, and then threw down the dishes and chopsticks to greet her.
"Mother-in-law, why are you here so late? Don't squeak either, so that Jia Wei can pick you up. Kang's mother's wrinkled face was full of smiles.
Du's mother ignored her enthusiasm and poured her anger over: "I said that you are a dead old woman, it has only been a few days since Manlin married your family, and you are so anxious to kick her out of the house." Since your Kang family can't tolerate her, then I'll take her back now, and I'll let her marry someone who is thousands of times better than your family. ”
Kang Mu was confused by Du Mu's anger, and the whole person stood like a zombie, looking at Du Mu blankly. At this time, Du Manlin and Kang Jiawei, who were packing their luggage in the bedroom, heard the sound and hurriedly walked out of the room. Seeing Du Mu, the two called Mom almost at the same time.
Du Mu glared at Kang Jiawei angrily, and her anger became even bigger: "Kang Jiawei, you kid is also bold, you tell me clearly, why did you want to kick Man Lin out of the house?" ”
Kang Jiawei was also confused, and stood dumbfounded.
Du Manlin knew very well in her heart that her mother must have gotten the news that she was going south to work, and thought that Kang Jiawei asked her to work, so she was very angry with Kang's mother and Kang Jiawei. She was not in a hurry, walked forward with a smile on her face, rubbed Du's mother's hand, and said coquettishly: "Mom, you misunderstood Jiawei, Jiawei has always disagreed with me to go to work, and I want to go by myself." ”
"You don't have any money, and you can't live at home anymore, right? Since Kang Jiawei married you, he has the responsibility to support you, and you can afford to leave your hometown to work so far away? If you want to go, he should go, not you. Du Mu's tone was still angry.
Kang Jiawei moved a rattan chair from the bedroom, which was also the only high-grade seat in the Kang family, and sent a bottle of pure water, which was still sent by Kang Jiawei when he went to work, he was reluctant to drink it, so he took it home for Du Manlin to drink.
Du Mu didn't sit or receive water: "I'd rather die of standing and thirst than be respected by you." ”
"Mom, I know you're angry with Jiawei, but you can't get along with yourself!" Du Manlin forcibly pulled Du Mu to sit down, and forced the pure water that had just unscrewed the bottle cap into her hand.
Du Mu snorted and took a sip of negative anger.
Du Manlin pinched Du's mother on the shoulder and said, "Mom, I remember when you were a child, you often told me that the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning. The morning is wasted, and the day is wasted; I didn't catch the spring, and the year was all wasted. Mom, I am now in the 'spring' and 'morning' of my life, do you think I can let go of this precious time in vain? ”
Du Mu didn't say anything, obviously her anger was decreasing.
Du Manlin continued: "Mom, our family can become a big fish seller in Tucheng, which is the result of decades of hard work between you and Dad. Without your support or your father's support, it would be impossible to develop into what it is now. As the saying goes, if a husband and wife have one heart, the soil will turn into gold. As long as Jia Wei and I think together, work together, and plan to make a fortune, the day when the Kang family will get rid of poverty and become rich is just around the corner. ”
"That being said, you've only been married for a month now, and if you get pregnant with a child, do you want to work for someone else with a big belly?" Du Mu's tone was obviously relaxed, and the anger was almost gone.
Du Manlin knows her mother's temper very well, as long as the anger is subsided and her tone is soft, the matter will be settled. So, she whispered in her ear: "I discussed with Jiawei, I will be busy with my career first, and then I will have children." Mom, you're in a hurry to be grandma, aren't you? ”
Du Mu glanced at her and muttered: "Your child is not surnamed Du, is it necessary for me to eat salty radishes and worry about it?" She hesitated for a moment, and then said: "I know what you have decided, Mom can't change it, or take advantage of your youth now to go outside." However, Mom has a request, you and Jia Wei go together, so that the two of them don't want to torture themselves day and night. ”
It's really a knowing woman like a mother. Du Manlin and Kang Jiawei met their eyes and burst into a smile full of satisfaction.
It turned out that Du Manlin had never dared to mention to her mother about going south to work, and she expected that her mother would not agree. So she planned to cut it first and then play it, and then call her mother when she arrived in Guangdong. Now, now that my mother has agreed, she has no worries in her heart. The next thing is to get ready to go.
