Xu Yinghe Xiaowo lives not far from the Hangcheng branch, three stops away from the subway. Although the room is not big, it is well decorated and the surrounding environment of the community is also very good.
Xiaowo was not surprised at all when he saw Xu Zhiyi. He invited her to sit down in the room, poured her some tea, and sat next to her, bowing his head and saying nothing.
For a moment, Xu Zhiyi didn't know how to speak.
She took a sip of tea, cleared her throat, looked at the nest, and spoke carefully:
"Xiaowo, my aunt came to my place yesterday and told me something about you. I came here today just to hear what you have to say in person. What is going on between you and Wang Yue from your cousin-in-law's company?"
Xiaowo slowly raised his head, with tears already in his eyes, "Sister Zhiyi, you can scold me or hit me, but I want to marry him. If he is willing to marry me, I will marry him."
Seeing her like this, Xu Zhiyi felt a little uncomfortable, but she still hardened her heart and kept a straight face, "Do you know what you are talking about? You two have only known each other for a short time, so you are so careless..."
"Didn't you and your cousin-in-law start talking about marriage within a month of knowing each other?" Xiaowo interrupted her, feeling suddenly a little excited.
Xu Zhiyi frowned, "I am different from you, your cousin-in-law and I..."
"Why is it different? As for the difference, you are a graduate student and have a formal job. I am just a junior high school student and have no formal job. Apart from this, I don't think there is any difference. Is it true that junior high school students Aren’t you worthy of marrying a cultured person?”
Upon hearing that she had misunderstood, Xu Zhiyi patiently explained to her:
"Xiaowo, what I said is different is that when your cousin-in-law and I were together, we were both unmarried, the age difference was not very big, and we met on a formal blind date. With the approval of both parents, everything went smoothly from proposal to engagement to marriage. .Wang Yue is fourteen years older than you, and..."
"What's wrong with being fourteen years older?" Xiaowo interrupted her again, with an unconvinced look on her face, "Don't all of you cultural people say that love can transcend everything? Race, age, and gender didn't matter. In the past, Didn't you tell me that there is a Nobel Prize-winning scientist who is over 80 years old and married to a woman who is less than 30 years old? Can’t do it at the age of four? After all, it’s not because you all look down on me!”
Xu Zhiyi really didn't expect Xiaowo to be so eloquent. After being slapped like this by her, she was instantly speechless.
From what she said, she seemed determined.
After saying these words, Xiaowo realized that he was a little rude to Xu Zhiyi and was too embarrassed to say anything else.
To be honest, if she hadn't known that Xu Zhiyi had a good temper, she wouldn't have dared to speak like this.
She didn't dare to do it to Su Yingxue.
She hated Su Yingxue, and after coming to Hangzhou, she hated her.
The two fell silent.
Later, Xu Zhiyi sighed and said:
"Xiaowo, I know that you have your own thoughts, and I have no position to say anything to you. However, as your cousin, I am always afraid that you will be confused for a moment and make a decision that you will regret for the rest of your life.
I still want to remind you to think clearly about some things. Tell me why you suddenly want to marry a man who is fourteen years older than you, widowed, and with a child. I want to hear your true thoughts. "
Xiaowo looked at her, tears suddenly flowed out, and his voice was filled with tears, "Because he was good to me. Ever since I was a child, no one has been so good to me. He was willing to spend money on me. Whatever I wanted, he didn't say anything. Just buy it for me..."
Afterwards, Xiaowo told Xu Zhiyi her experience of coming to Hangzhou.
After Xu Ying and Xiaowo came to Hangzhou, they first stayed at Su Yingxue's place.
The house Su Yingxue rented was not big, so it was just right for one person to live in. Once the two of them moved in, it seemed crowded.
Su Yingxue has been used to being self-centered since she was a child, and she couldn't stand this kind of material grievance the most. Their stay made her really unhappy.
On the second day of their stay, she started to chase them away and asked them to find a house quickly.
When she's in a bad mood, she starts criticizing Xiaowo, saying that if she doesn't solve problems herself, she knows she's a troublemaker and is a troublemaker.
Xiaowo originally hated Su Yingxue, but this time he was in trouble and had to stay under her roof. He could only endure her scolding and just wanted to move out of here as soon as possible.
But she had just arrived in Hangzhou and was unfamiliar with the place. She couldn't find a suitable house for a while. Of course there were good houses, but they were also expensive. How could she and Xu Ying afford them?
At that time, Xu Zhiyi and Mingrui were on vacation in Sanya, and she was too embarrassed to trouble them again.
One day, after Wang Yue's team finished dinner, she was cleaning the canteen when she received a call from Su Yingxue.
After all, Xu Ying was Su Yingxue's aunt. There were some things she couldn't say to her face, so she would scold Xiaowo behind her back.
Maybe Su Yingxue was a little angry at work that day, so she called her and scolded her without explanation.
"You are a bumbling star, whoever comes in front of you will be unlucky. If you two hadn't affected me from sleeping well, would I have made such a big mistake at work?
Can’t Xu Zhiyi and his husband? They can find you a good job in Hangzhou, why can't they find you a house?
I'm telling you, get out of my house right now. If that doesn't work, you and your mother go live at Xu Zhiyi's place. She's on vacation anyway and the house is empty. You two are going to cause trouble for her. Don't cause trouble for me again. ! "
After hanging up the phone, Xiaowo hid in the corridor of the company, crying sadly. He happened to be seen by Wang Yue who came out to smoke.
Maybe it was because of the people in Aicheng. Seeing the little girl crying, Wang Yue asked what was going on. Xiaowo didn't think much and just told her about his difficulties.
As a result, Wang Yue found a house for her in the afternoon of the next day, and helped the mother and daughter move here that night.
After that, Wang Yue took special care of her, and they got together after going back and forth.
The two of them went to bed accidentally after drinking.
However, Wang Yue did not shirk the blame and said on the spot that he was willing to marry her at any time as long as she did not mind that he was old and widowed with children.
He won't treat her badly in terms of bride price just because he has slept with her.
After saying this, Xiaowo accepted his fate and said:
"Sister Zhiyi, I no longer think about people I can't get. You see, as soon as I act greedy, God will punish me and my mother like this. I will never have such unreasonable thoughts again."
Xu Zhiyi was confused when he heard this, "Xiaowo, what are you talking about? Who do you have unwanted thoughts about?"
Xiaowo smiled bitterly, did not answer her words, and continued talking to himself:
“Now, it’s enough for me to find a man who likes me and has good financial conditions.
At least, after getting married, I no longer have to worry about money all my life like my mother did.
Brother Wang Yue said he likes me, but I know in my heart that he just likes me to be young and beautiful, so what?
He is fourteen years older than me, and I will always be younger than him.
Even if he only wants me to be young and beautiful, and he is willing to treat me well because of this, I will admit it.
Even if he has a child, it doesn't matter. I don't need to raise him anyway. After I give birth to his child, I won't have the final say in everything in the house.
I figured it out, it’s better to live a selfish life. From now on, I just want to live happily by myself, and don’t care what others think!
Others cannot give me a good life. "
After listening to her words, Xu Zhiyi always felt that something was wrong. He thought about it again and again, and finally thought about the problem.
She stared at Xiaowo and said seriously: "Xiaowo, have you ever thought that maybe it wasn't an accident that you and Wang Yue went to bed?"
Xiaowo was stunned.
