After returning home, Gu Fanghua happily greeted the two of them when they came back together: "It's such a coincidence that we can come back together to talk to each other?"
Mi Qi glanced at Gu Fanghua, and Gu Fanghua realized that their expressions were not right.
What's going on here? Quarrel again?
Mi Qi casually handed the bag to Gu Fanghua: "Mom, help me take it into the house."
Gu Fanghua looked at Mi Qi worriedly, and Mi Qi whispered that it was okay.
Dinner was not ready yet, and the children were doing homework in the room on the second floor. She picked up her apron and continued what Gu Fanghua had not finished, making beef and chicken.
"Next time, don't take anyone else's ride, especially Dou Yian's ride."
"He has good intentions, so I won't reject him, right?" Mickey looked at the beef in the basin, "I have no conflict of interest with him."
Jiang Si's silence forced Mi Qi to look up, "Then I'll call you next time? Will you pick us up?"
"Are you arguing with me? Do you need someone to pick you up at such a short distance? How do you usually go back?" Jiang Si felt that Mickey had been angry with him since he was at the gate of the community just now. "What happened? Or did Dou Yian tell you something?"
Mi Qi looked at his shrewd and vigilant face, and suddenly a cold voice in her heart told her: It was impossible to get Jiang Si to confess on his own initiative.
"Husband, mom found a lipstick when she was washing your clothes today. Mom thought it was mine."
Whether it was a quibble or an explanation, she just wanted to hear what he would say.
Jiang Si frowned slightly: "Isn't it yours?"
Mickey put the lipstick on the glass table: "No, I can't bear to buy such expensive lipstick."
Jiang Si came over and looked at the lipstick seriously, "Oh, a trial sample. I see that you don't wear makeup, so I want to buy you a lipstick and ask the female colleagues in the office to recommend it."
The words seemed to have just been thought of on the spur of the moment.
"Which female colleague?" Mickey's smile was not obvious.
"You don't believe me?" Jiang Si raised his eyebrows, "You think I have someone outside?"
He has always been confident and confident, and can talk about the dead as alive.
Mi Qi had seen him verbally quarreling with others, and she didn't want her admiration when she was young to become the shackles that suppressed her now.
Therefore, she would not confront him head-on, but would only say in a half-joking tone: "It's not surprising that you are talented. After all, I am not worthy of you now, and the man running four is a flower."
Jiang Si thought she would start acting crazy, but he didn't expect her to say this in a joking tone, and he couldn't figure out her true thoughts for a while.
"Fool, what are you thinking about? I can see your efforts. Look at you, the household income I gave you has been spent on household expenses and children. How long has it been since you bought something for yourself? You are so virtuous. Where can I find the wife of the Gu family?" Jiang Si leaned across the console and hugged Mi Qi. His tone was rare and gentle, and he imitated her tone of teasing, "Don't think so wildly, I'm afraid you've fallen in love with someone else."
The cold operating table lowered the temperature of Jiang Si's embrace.
Jiang Si took out his mobile phone and operated it quickly, and then Mi Qi heard the sound of transferring money from the mobile phone.
"Don't skimp, buy yourself some clothes and some cosmetics. No matter how old a woman is, she should dress up well." His coaxing routine is like a lawyer's very fixed procedure in a lawsuit. He says a few nice words first and then gives money.
Although giving money is very pragmatic, in Mickey's opinion this is the most perfunctory and laziest way. This means that Jiang Si is not willing to spend time and energy on her as his wife.
And compared to what Jiang Si earned, the amount he gave was really not generous.
"Now that prices are high, please pay more for the monthly expenses." Mickey used too much force, and the beef juice splashed on her apron. She took the beef to the tray and prepared to grill it.
"I know." Jiang Si replied cheerfully.
She looked at him again.
Mi Qi had always wanted to mention raising the monthly salary, but Jiang Si had ignored her previous euphemistic mentions. In her mind, there was a high chance that he would disagree. I didn't expect that he would agree so readily at this moment.
The joy of this incident is very much like the guilt about the lipstick incident.
However, after Mi Qi saw the intimacy payment limit that Jiang Si had adjusted for her, she suddenly felt lucky that she didn't have a showdown with him.
Love is no longer something she should care about at her age and status, what she gets is the most real thing.
No matter where she and Jiang Si go in the future, she must first ensure the stability and quality of life, and the most important thing is not to cause harm to her two children.
After making the decision, Midge laughed at herself. In the end, she became the kind of person she hated the most.
Don't care about emotions, put interests first.
In the following days, Mickey would shoot videos on weight loss exercises during the day, and edit and learn the latest video styles or shopping with DK at night.
The resumes that were sent out came to nothing. Mi Qi was not discouraged even after expecting this result. She just revised them and sent them out as a project in progress.
Jiang Si said that the increase in household income has been done well, from the original 10,000 to 25,000.
Much more generous than before.
Mickey doesn’t have to search through Sosou, just buy what you like when you see it, such as clothes, skirts, cosmetics, bags, shoes, gold jewelry.
Express delivery comes one after another.
Gu Fanghua wondered why Mickey was so generous all of a sudden.
Mi Qi didn't dare to take credit: "Your son-in-law has improved the family income, so I have spare money to spend."
Gu Fanghua looked at Mi Qi carefully: "Are you really okay? Why do I think something is wrong with you?"
Seeing that they were back to normal, they were just bickering about trivial things, nothing happened. But both the daughter and the son-in-law have changed - the daughter has become a little indulgent, while the son-in-law is much more considerate than before. He will buy a bouquet of flowers every day when he comes home from get off work. After dinner, he does not rush back to the study immediately after dinner, but he is with her. Xixi was playing in the living room or staring at Yanyan's homework for a while.
In short... everything developed as she imagined, but everything was weird.
"Xiao Si has not made any mistakes, right?" Gu Fanghua is also a woman, and she also has a sixth sense.
"Mom, you really love overthinking." Mi Qi's heart hurt, but she didn't show it on the surface. "I think you're just too bored staying here. Go back to your hometown and find your mahjong friends."
She didn't want Ben Liu's Gu Fanghua to worry about or interfere with her own affairs.
"Okay, I'll be back tomorrow. As long as you live well, I'll be happy and relaxed too." Gu Fanghua waved her hands and happily went to play Jenga with Xixi.
I like to develop my intelligence and I especially like to play this game.
Mi Qi showed Gu Fanghua the ticket on her cell phone and told DK that her mother-in-law was finally coming home. Recently, she has been chatting with Master about trivial matters.
For example, I asked about lipstick, changed the way I bought flowers at Jiang Si, and bought something that I was reluctant to buy before.
She took the initiative to mention it, and DK would reply with a few words and ask about her mood.
Mickey enjoys DK's sense of proportion and warmth. She feels a natural sense of security and can vent her inner unhappiness through the screen.
"So you decided to forgive your husband and treat it as unknowingly?"
Mickey stayed on the ticket-swiping interface and saw the drop-down notification bar. After the notification bar was retracted, a new message was pulled down:
"Then have you ever thought that he might leave you?"
