Chapter 49
In the dark, Wen Ning felt uneasy and anxious earlier.
Also related to Li Yuanzhe, but not the case itself, Li’s mother suddenly appeared in Jiangcheng, saying that she wanted to see her and Chuchu.
“Didn’t you say that the kids will be on summer vacation soon?”
“I just happened to come here …… to see my eldest grandson,” Mother Li didn’t care if it was sudden or not, she came when she wanted to, “Now that my son is gone, isn’t this the only thing I have left to count on? ”
Wen Ning didn’t know why she would come out at this time, it was clear that for some time, she had been working on Li Yuanzhe’s funeral, and her mother’s health could not withstand all the fuss, and organizing the funeral had already caused her to pine away, and at that time she had thought of calling this mother-in-law to come over to help, but she refused to do anything about it.
“I’ve lost my son, is it not sad?”
At that time, her tone was very different from today’s, “How can I care about my child for you?”
At this moment, the old lady suddenly came over from her hometown, there is something strange, people like her could have been cold to the extreme with people who are not related to her, and pretended to excuse herself by saying that Che Che is still in class.
Yet, she did not want Chul-chul to be completely unaware of his father’s side of the family’s care for him.
She agreed.
“Let’s meet around six tonight, I’ll send you the address.”
She didn’t want to go to see Li’s mother, according to the other party’s nature, it wasn’t someone Wen Ning was willing to contact on a daily basis, she thought of following the original plan, shopping around with He Mei in Vientiane City for a while, and then visiting his elders with the child on the way, avoiding too many encounters.
“Why do you need to go out to eat?” More than making a request, Li’s mother sounded like she was giving a command, “I’ll just go to your wonton restaurant and eat two bowls of small wontons, and I’ll be free to lend a hand.”
“You’ve come all this way, so don’t work too hard.”
It’s not that Wen Ning doesn’t look down on this remarried mother-in-law, but her personal hygiene habits are very different.
Li’s mother is not careful, grabbing scallions and other small ingredients directly with her hands, not to mention the customers, even if she saw it, she could not tolerate this kind of handling details.
And Li’s mother business, can earn a little more things a little, she heard her counting deliberately counted more than two pieces, and so customers shouted ‘is not the old man’s memory is not good, counting the wrong’ time, she again compensated for the smile, said that people are old, the memory is poor.
But such a situation is not once or twice happened, originally Wenning may go along with the steps, really think she much forgetfulness.
Later, if she did not stop this situation from happening, then the signboard of her own store is almost gone.
Li Yuanzhe had sworn to tell her long before the wedding that in the future, no matter what, it would be impossible to live with his mother.
This was also the reason why Wen Ning was able to try and accept it.
It wasn’t too difficult to keep relative peace by occasionally getting along briefly.
If one really had to put up with the endless interruptions of such people, then life would simply be a mess.
The mother-in-law was not very educated, her eyes were not wide open, and like most uneducated people, she always tried to look at her with tolerance.
Acquainted with, this in the mother-in-law’s view, how is not an opportunity to get an inch.
It wasn’t long before Wen Ning broke her original plan, hurriedly bid farewell to He Mei, and returned to her own little store, where she heard her eating raw fried wontons while bossing her mom around.
Seeing herself return, she immediately curtly changed her face.
A smiling face greeted her.
“Ningning, this time I’ve brought you quite a bit of bacon cured by my own people in the countryside.”
“Trouble you.” But when the year-old bacon was put into this season, it was mostly uneaten and unfresh.
Wen Ning was also quite polite at first, she just didn’t want this woman’s lawlessness to go over to Zhou Yinchu’s side, sweeping away the face she had managed to save.
“Not hard, is that this fare has gone up again,” Li mother saw a needle in the eye and spoke of her own expenses when she came, “I was sitting on the old train, but in the past two years my back is not good, I can only sit on the sleeper, which does not spend a lot of extra money.”
Seeing Wen Ning say nothing, she turned her eyes and wailed repeatedly, “In the past, when Yuanzhe was alive, he would always reimburse the fare for me as an old mother, this is all a handful of years old, I am really bitter in life ah ……”
She then shouted on, the whole store is oozing.
Wen Ning and this kind of people have gotten along, naturally know what they mean beyond words, “How much fare do you want this time, I’ll reimburse you.”
“It’s only five hundred dollars.”
Wen Ning obviously froze for a moment, not that she intentionally did not give it, but but anyone who has a little bit of concept of life and common sense knows that this high speed train to Beijing is only four or five hundred dollars, not to mention the green train in the province.
“You show me the voucher?”
Li mother’s voice suddenly became sharp, “What, who do you suspect, how can you suspect your mother-in-law?”
Wen Ning saw her sharp eyes and jumping to her feet, reason told her that there was no need to get angry, yet she still told her bluntly, “You don’t mind the shame, I do.”
“See, as soon as my son died, you immediately showed a different face, right?” Li’s mother was so angry that she took the region as soon as something happened, “I knew that you, Jiangcheng, can’t look at us, the people of northern Jiangsu!”
Inexplicably suffered an undeserved disaster, Wen Ning’s mood is not too beautiful.
Before leaving, eat and drink enough Li mother and her hanging in Wen Ning store bacon down, cursing, “I knew there is not a good daughter-in-law, Yuanzhe should not be with you and this kind of woman together, maybe not long, he is so capable of wife and other men ran away.”
Wen Ning was not wanting to say a single word to the woman in front of her, one more word would be her sin.
Not to mention, she had already found another man a long time ago.
If Li’s mother found out about this, she would probably make up something about her, and her business would definitely not be able to continue, and her reputation would be even more unimaginable.
In the past, when Li Yuanzhe was around, there was a man who could mediate between them, so such conflicts would not be magnified.
As soon as Li Yuanzhe left, the rest of the family’s problems became intolerable.
Seeing the situation, the mother seems to be ready to pull out the five hundred, but this moment of effort, Li mother immediately to this five hundred also look at.
“Round trip will cost a thousand.”
“At least we have been in-laws, why yell like this in front of the children’s store.” Wen mother’s concern is not entirely unreasonable, she thought with this money may be able to appease Li Yuanzhe’s mother’s emotions, so as not to make a big deal out of it, making it known to everyone in the neighborhood.
In addition, there is a new son-in-law, the most afraid of Li mother in Xiao Zhou that scandalous.
Li mother coldly hailed, the whites of her eyes completely exposed, “in-laws mother, what do you mean ‘have done in-laws’, we do not count now?”
“Those who don’t know still think that your daughter has climbed up the ladder and remarried.”
Wen’s mother was afraid that her face would show her face, so she didn’t put any more money in her pocket. Now, Li’s mother, who was empty-handed, said sarcastically, “She’s a chicken that has laid eggs, but she still thinks that her daughter, who is eighteen years old, is a flower, and that everyone wants to sleep with her.”
Wen Ning realized that she did not want to receive Li Yuanzhe’s mother anymore.
The vulgar and unpleasant use of words disturbed her.
The past relationship bound and fettered her, and she thought that she was quite lenient, and that she would not go looking for other reasons and excuses to shirk the favor that she could help with.
But this had come to her doorstep, and if she continued to back down, wouldn’t that be a sign of weakness and incompetence?
How could Xiao Yang, who was cooking wontons, hear that someone had humiliated her mother before, and now there was someone bullying her sister Ning Ning.
Without saying a word, she scooped up a bowl of half-raw wonton water and threw it at this woman’s body.
She bowed her head and admitted her mistake: “Sister Ning, count me as impulsive.”
Unexpectedly, Wen Ning didn’t have any intention of blaming her, “I wanted to do that a long time ago as well.”
Li Yuanzhe’s sentimentality, she had seen it long enough.
This has nothing to do with whether she remarried or not, but if the shrew in front of her learns to respect people a little bit, it won’t be so out of control.
Wen mother usually also most distressed daughter, hate to go out, and the person in front of the fish to death.
But Wen Ning stopped her, she pulled on the store door, rare noon not to do business this day, and sent a message to Zhou Yinchu: “You are off work today, do not have to come over to help.”
Zhou Yinchu was serious: “Then how can I make amends and apologize?”
At this moment, Wen Ning’s eyes, however, contain unspeakable, unbearable tears, people’s lower limits are different, and naturally the appearance they show is different.
After all, not everyone can be a jumper.
Outside the door, Li mother did not learn to stop, but because of the pot of water hate to let everyone who walks by look at her, know the inside story of the neighbors have good intentions to admonish, but none of the voice louder than her.
“What’s wrong?”
Zhou Yinchu quickly noticed something wrong with Wen Ning.
“If you’re unhappy, you can open the small bag you carry around and take a look at it, and perhaps your mood will brighten up as well.”
The two red passbooks, hidden in the hidden compartment of the small bag, came to her hands after all.
His voice, his money was always overly reassuring.
Wen Ning smiled lightly, “If I just take it, won’t it look like I was hypocritical in my excuses last night?”
“Not hypocritical,” the man’s words of love were pinched with his hands, neither frivolous, but also thick because of this gift, “You just don’t want to spend my money because you love me.”
“Who said that?”
Zhou Yinchu speaks up, “An emotional blogger often says that when a woman starts to plan for a man’s finances, then she must love him miserably.”
She asks again meticulously, “Which emotional blogger?”
“Me.”
Wen Ning knew Zhou Yinchu’s person, if he didn’t have a heart, he definitely couldn’t say such toned down words.
“I’ll take it-”
After all, she had to go and try to prove, “Can’t love you that much.”
Who would have expected that the man would come so unluckily last night, “Wenning, Li Che can see it, is there any need for you to deny it?”
“Didn’t you say you went to smoke yesterday?” She fell for it.
He was honest, “I lied to you.”
The man lazily and wantonly mentioned last night’s situation, beautifully, “If you don’t say that, you don’t know how long your face is going to be red all the way.”
“I …… didn’t,” Wen Ning could vaguely hear the sparse, disorganized cursing beyond the door curtain, and she couldn’t guarantee that Zhou Yinchu was completely deaf, “I still have a little personal business here, so let’s not talk about it, I’m going to go and take care of it first. ”
“Good.”
Perhaps, relying on a moment of relief, or perhaps, she had to admit that Zhou Yinchu had long had a different meaning to her.
Wen Ning made it clear that she was no longer subject to the heavy restrictions of the past, she pulled open the door of the store expressionlessly, and continued to do her business, while the dry-mouthed Li mother ran over again at this time, the bottom of the barrel, so she could only open her mouth to identify Wen Ning as an ungrateful villain.
She clenched her back teeth: “Let your mom bring over five hundred dollars, less is less, but I have to charge you.”
“Lest you take the inheritance left behind by Li Yuanzhe and go outside to provide for a little white boy-”
Wen Ning spread her hands, “No more.”
“I’m sorry, Ms. Chen, your son didn’t leave much behind, I still have to keep it for the lawsuit,” Wen Ning’s heart inexplicably rose up with unseen courage, in the past, she was more tolerant, perhaps suitable for Zhou Yinchu this period of time together, she more or less learned from him to be well-behaved, so that she didn’t have to repress her nature any more, “I’m sorry, Ms. Chen, your son didn’t leave much behind, I still have to keep it for the lawsuit. “If you do not want the civilian police to be driven away because you are interfering with my business, I advise you, it would be best if you do not continue to rely on this place and not leave.”
Those past, the wretchedness that remained beneath the surface of the good life made Wenning realize that her original marriage had not been that fulfilling either.
Right now, she had the opportunity to re-run her relationship and marriage, and for her, it was also a new life.
