March in Rongcheng is suddenly warm and then cold.
On this Sunday, there were no classes in Wangcheng Kindergarten, but the conference room was full of parents.
It is a characteristic of this kindergarten that all parents of the children must attend the monthly parent-teacher meeting, which has been a tradition since its opening.
All those present were mothers of children, and they were all very conscious and willing to do this.
The annual tuition fee of 100,000 yuan gathers the best children from Rongcheng families.
This kind of social circle is brought together through the children's parent-teacher conference, which is a dream for parents.
As the vice president of the parent-teacher association, Mickey summarized the children's situation last month and put forward a few key points as before. After everyone briefly communicated, they immediately rushed into the most interesting time for women to chat.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
Suddenly someone's loud scolding froze the harmonious exchange. Mi Qi raised her eyes and saw that it was Xueli's mother who glared at Taotao's mother opposite and cursed in a panic.
The reason was that someone asked Xueli's mother how she was doing recently, but the person involved did not answer. Taotao's mother talked to the person who deliberately asked the question: "Xueli's mother, she cheated!".
Sydney's mother's voice rose an octave and her expression management failed.
Obviously she didn't expect that Taotao's mother would expose her plight in front of everyone.
Mickey's thin eyebrows were slightly raised. In fact, Xueli's mother's absent-mindedness was written on her face from the very beginning.
A married woman with children is likely to go to two extremes.
Either you can maintain your pre-marriage beauty through self-discipline, or you can lose your energy and completely lose yourself and be destroyed by time.
Shirley’s mother is the latter.
Her husband, the second generation, is a typical rich man, and he is also a typical example of someone who turns bad when he has money, and is often homeless.
As for her, after giving birth to three daughters, her body became plus-size. Even if she wore designer clothes and bags every time she appeared, these and expensive cosmetics could not hide her figure and age.
Every time she talks about her husband, her smile is always bitter.
At the parent-teacher meeting, someone’s family opened a chain of restaurants, and her husband was seen coming in and out with different beauties. This has long been an open secret.
"Taotao's mother..." Mi Qi didn't understand why Taotao's mother would bring it up at this time.
"Xixi's mother, your husband is a lawyer, so you have to help her. My husband is pregnant and the mistress needs to be regular!" Taotao's mother had no intention of shutting up. She turned around and pointed directly at Mi Qi.
Xueli's mother howled, covered her face and left.
The table was pulled by her body, and a piece of the hundred-year-old mountain on it fell.
Everyone blamed Taotao's mother for not being like this, but their faces were filled with the satisfaction of finding fun.
The housewife's world is reduced to the gossip of her circle of acquaintances and the world at home.
Mickey chased her out, trying to comfort her.
Xueli's mother was crying on the phone outside, seemingly calling a lawyer.
"Dou Yian! I will make sure that couple of bitches don't get a penny! If you help me win the lawsuit, I will give you half!!!"
Xueli's mother wiped away tears and turned her head. When she saw Mickey, she was stunned for a moment, then turned her face away in embarrassment and didn't know how to face her.
Mi Qi walked over to hand over the tissue and took out her mobile phone: "I know Dou Yian is a very good lawyer. But if you need it, you can find another lawyer to ask. It's always good. I pushed my husband's WeChat account to you."
The name Dou Yian was very familiar to Mi Qi.
The frequency with which Jiang Si mentioned him when he came home would be a rival if he didn't know he was a man.
Mi Qi will think that Jiang Si has also cheated.
Xue Li's mother thanked her gratefully and looked at Mi Qi with envy: "Xixi Mom, you are more blessed than me. Your husband doesn't mind you and still loves you so much."
Mickey was stunned.
Yeah?
This was not the first time Mickey heard such words of envy.
But when Xueli's mother, who was facing a family crisis, said this, she couldn't help but feel doubtful.
The same women, the same children, the same age, and the same housewives.
Yes, compared to Shirley's mother, Mickey is not that fat.
But at a height of 1.65 meters and a weight of 160 meters, she is not slim at all. Her originally beautiful face is so stretched out by the flesh that her facial features are much inferior. Doing aerobics three times and Pilates five times a week has little effect.
At the age of thirty-three, there are no wrinkles on her face because she has too much flesh. She works hard to lose weight and improve her inner self - reading books and cultivating hobbies.
Everyone says Midge is an inspirational housewife.
Only Mickey herself knows why she is like this.
Behind these unrelenting efforts is a kind of fear.
Once this string of fear is loosened, just like Xueli's mother, not only will she be gone, but her family will be gone as well.
But is she really holding on?
Mickey came home on time at half past five and started preparing dinner.
Jiang Si didn't work overtime today and got home at seven o'clock.
Mi Qi stepped forward with a smile, took the suit jacket he took off and hung it up. Jiang Si asked her how the children were doing today as usual, then washed her hands and prepared to sit down to eat.
"Do you like it?"
"Very good. I learned spoken English today and played the piano for an hour."
"Well, Yanyan's math dropped five points last month."
"Yes, today the tutor gave him a simulation for next month's monthly test, and his results were pretty good."
"I heard that you took a job for me. I'm Dou Yian's client."
Jiang Si changed the subject and mentioned Xue Li's mother.
Mickey served him soup, paused with the spoon, and raised her eyes: "Did I contact you so soon?"
Jiang Si nodded.
Mickey put the soup in his hand.
"I don't know the specific situation. I only know that she is getting divorced now. I pushed your WeChat to her in the hope that she will have more choices."
Unable to tell whether Jiang Si's words were inquiries or accusations, Mi Qi didn't finish her words.
Mickey will not eat dinner in order to lose weight, but she will sit with Jiang Si.
Jiang Si took a sip of the soup and commented on tonight's dish: "The pork belly chicken doesn't taste right and is a bit salty. Don't make the scrambled eggs with tomatoes tomorrow. I'm a little tired after eating them for several days. This soup is okay."
Mickey lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, I understand."
Jiang Si nodded slightly, then returned to the previous topic.
"Dou Yian did contact him first, but it was still at the beginning. The client has the right to entrust two lawyers according to his own needs. I also agreed. However, I have requested that the client must choose between me and Dou Yian."
Mickey lowered her eyes and hummed, then smiled apologetically: "I don't understand professional matters, but I will support my husband unconditionally."
She doesn’t understand the law, but she understands her husband.
Jiang Si is a very proud person. He has been someone else's child since he was a child. So far in his life, God has given him the green light in terms of grades and achievements. He obtained his lawyer's license at the age of 26, won his first lawsuit soon after, and became the youngest partner in the law firm in just four years.
Such an excellent resume is also paired with a height of 1.82 meters and outstanding facial features.
He praised Midge for choosing the best man to be her husband, to praise himself in disguise.
"You don't know the law but you know how to lose weight? It's a good thing that you have this persistence, but if it doesn't work, forget it. Time must be spent on efficient things to not be wasted." Jiang Si said with a smile, The look in Mickey's eyes that looked him up and down was more painful than his words.
Midge felt unhappy, as if she was born the way she was now, instead of being like this after having two children and being treated for estrogen imbalance.
But she doesn't show it.
There was no point in showing it. She had no confidence in a lawyer's eloquence.
She was thinking about something else -
At first, I pushed it to Xue Li’s mother on WeChat to create opportunities for Jiang Si.
But now Mi Qi feels that she didn't think much about it. If Jiang Si loses to Dou Yian, she may be affected.
Seeing Mi Qi lost in thought, Jiang Si asked: "Other people's divorce is other people's business, why are you sad?"
Mickey came to his senses, smiled and shook his head.
She and her husband have been married for ten years and almost never quarrel.
Because she knows what to say and what not to say.
I don’t know since when did Mi Qi know how to digest and resolve herself, so as to prevent Jiang Si from frowning and complaining to make her unhappy.
Jiang Si likes outsiders to praise them as a model couple and a model family, so she works hard to maintain this family image.
Let Jiang Si have no fault and make himself less uneasy, so that there will be no problems in life.
After all, she is unemployed and is supporting her husband's family income.
After putting her son and daughter to bed at night, Mickey sat in front of the dressing table and applied bedtime repair lotion.
She looked at Jiang Si in the mirror who was sitting on the bed with a tablet reading before going to bed, and asked in a strange way: "Husband, will you cheat?"
