Chapter 101: The Rules of the Night

"Don't cry, don't cry, if you cry again, your mother will cry too." Chengmei, who was at a loss, finally wiped away her tears with one hand, and while the child was asleep, she stood next to the phone and dialed the number of the food stall again. The man was supposed to be playing cards with three friends in the stall, and listening to the noisy shouting on the phone, he seemed to be having fun. When the strange woman muttered quietly, the man actually threw the cards in his hand on the table.

"I'll eat something and go back!"

"When will you be able to finish eating! Give me a letter! ”

Seungmi really wanted to break the glass window of the gear stall with a stick, and she had to curse the man loudly, but the impenetrable air barrier determined that in another world, she could only be depressed as if she had eaten stool.

"Wait a minute, I'm working overtime today, and this stool hasn't been heated yet!"

Winning and losing, losing and winning, Chengmei's phone calls were made again and again.

"Brother, there should be something wrong with your wife's urgency, or let's play here today."

It was raining outside, and when he heard his friend's wife say that the phone was ringing again, his face suddenly became more gloomy.

"It's been two and a half hours! Can you still go home? ”

"Can't you see out the window? It's raining so hard, how can you let me go back! ”

The fan on the ceiling turned really annoyingly, and Seongmi stared at the window with some complaint.

"Okay, I'll call your sister and ask her to pick you up for me!"

"Lee Seung-mi! Your husband and I have been working all day and am so tired. What's wrong with eating, chatting, and playing cards with friends at this time? Is it illegal? ”

Friends who played cards together were all whispering and laughing at their wives, and in a fit of rage, the man actually dismantled the telephone line in one go.

The hour and minute hands overlapped at one o'clock in the morning, and the man who had lost empty-handed finally thought of going home, the lights were on, and his wife and children were not at home. Just then, the phone rang again, this time from the man's mother.

"I don't care how busy you are at work or how many times you socialize, why do you have to take a hand with your own children. Do you want to put all the child-rearing and housework on your wife? Fortunately, this time it was the daughter-in-law who found her sister, and the sister retold me everything as it was, which saved me from a family turmoil. One more time, let's see how you explain it to your mother-in-law, right? Do you want to watch two old men fight a war of words with you? ”

If it hadn't happened to disobey her husband's wishes, maybe Chengmei would still be the well-behaved woman who was called around by her husband in the future. Under the mother-in-law's kind but ineffective matchmaking, the relationship between the two quickly became ossified. Men began to vent their anger at the family in a way that avoided or even treated them coldly. Sitting in a devastated and unrecognizable life, Chengmei from that world covered her face and cried silently.

"Do you regret it? At such a young age, what can be married is nothing more than a handsome face and a flickering gentleness. Take a good look for yourself! What exactly is your man doing while you put your two children to sleep? ”

There was no light in the utility room, it was dark and clicking, and there was only an awkward mouse sound between Seungmi and the man.

"Because I couldn't get the consent of my boss, I couldn't bear to let the child continue to wait alone before skipping work, and now I have been punished by the unit, not to mention not earning daily wages, and the first two days of work have been all lost! What else do you want from me? Is it so hard to send a message back on the phone? Let me ask you one last time, is the child my own? I take care of the housework and the children, and I do the work like a man, hehe, then what do I want you to do? You're this dad is air? Is it an ornament? How can you not have a sense of responsibility at all when it comes to children! I'm even wondering if you'll be able to live in this world if I quit your father and son's lives. In the dream, the other Seungmi never seemed to speak to a man in such an angry, broken jar tone.

"Wife, I really know it's wrong, please calm down, I rushed back immediately after seeing a missed call in the hospital not long ago, you don't know what I was scared like at the time?! Even when the doctor told me to take the medicine, I didn't dare to stop. The man explained in a trembling voice.

"Not so long ago?!"

The man covered his face and didn't react for a moment. Seungmei's face showed a gloating look.

"Car accident and not so long ago, which one do you think I'd believe? Hehe, sure enough, when people lie, they don't care about the preface and afterword. ”

The man's eyes were staring, direct, and stiff, and suddenly a cold aura emanating from the bone marrow filled the room. After reaching out to comb the few messy hairs on her forehead, Chengmei raised her chin high and took a proud step closer to the man.

"I've been calling around in the unit like a madman all day? Do you think it's because I'm masochistic? ”

There was a strong wind outside, but Seungmi still heard the muffled sound of her ears whizzing under the water.

"Is that what you can afford? It should be me who should be wronged! From the day we got married, the housework and the children were all pushed on my head alone! You, the father, patted his chest and promised that you would be promoted, raised, and given a year-end bonus! The result? Ten years have passed, and your salary is just a red ticket for a year! The people after you are in charge! Whoever doesn't care who came by whose origins, I just remember that he was promoted in your ninth year of service! ”

At this moment, the world suddenly quieted, the cold moonlight shone on Chengmei's face, and the dust in the air was dragging in the long circle of light and constantly gathering on the man's face.

"Why did you follow the material?" The man pointed to Chengmei's nose and said hatefully.

"You say I'm material! Hehe, keep your eyes open and take a good look! Is a family's salary of less than 7,000 a month enough? We have a mortgage, two children, and three elderly people to support! Just because you are incompetent, I had to find a job as a masseur outside of my busy family life! Ten hours a day, two days off a month, and every day when I come home, my fingers hurt so much that I have to break them, but I still have to endure changing the children's diapers, washing the clothes for all of you, and cooking. Because I'm a mom and the wife of this family. I have to fight hard with tears and smiles?! And you, when you are flipping through the calendar and messing around, have you ever thought that you are your father, husband, and the eldest son of the Zheng family? Hehehaha, yes, in our small family, I will support you. On the parents-in-law's side, there is also a sister-in-law! By the way, your own sister probably hasn't complained to you once, just because you have pushed the weight of your life on others, and she is now very afraid of marriage! ”

In fact, the current Chengmei is also a weak heart, she is strong on the outside, and she can't help the power of a finger, a word, and a straw, and any form of refutation may make this woman who has been insomnia for a long time mentally sluggish. It's just that she has to stand firm and establish her crazy image in the eyes of her husband.

"Wife, I was wrong, can you give me another chance, I promise you that I will work honestly in the future!" The man looked at Chengmei's face, with anticipation in his eyes, and the half-pushed hands seemed to believe that as long as they were entangled, Chengmei would definitely compromise.

"If you could do it, you did it 10 years ago! Hehe, in front of the two children who are waiting to be fed, and the parents-in-law who are still running for you despite the age of the sixtieth year, does it seem like human words to say these now? Pigs and dogs are not as good as mongrels! Get out of here! The farther you roll, the better!! ”

Suddenly, the man's face turned pale and his expression stiffened, as if he had witnessed something cruel.

Seungmi slowly turned her head and saw a crab that had split her head and covered her face, leisurely and swaggering across the top of the man's head. Then like lightning, the whole picture was split in two, and there was no time to guard against it, and a powerful slap fell on Chengmei's shoulder, and the cold wind swept quietly like a tide.

"It turned out to be that dream again..."When Chengmei woke up, it was already a foggy morning outside the window, and the lonely and bleak light shone on the mirror opposite, looking at everything familiar in the mirror, a touch of sadness was rendered in Chengmei's eyes.
