Gu Fanghua was lying on the bed and glanced weakly at the door of the room: "Oh, you're back..."
Mickey: "..."
Gu Fanghua rolled up her right trouser leg and hung it up with a plaster below the knee.
Mi Qi rushed to the bed and carefully checked Gu Fanghua's consciousness.
"Mom, look at me, am I still conscious?"
"Mom, why did you manage to hurt yourself?!"
Gu Fanghua frowned, "I just took a shower. I accidentally slipped and fell."
"Why are you so careless? Did you fall on your head? Have you checked your whole body?" Gu Fanghua said in an understatement, which made Mi Qi extremely scared.
Falling is the most taboo thing for the elderly. She often scrolls through Weibo and comes across topics about health care and longevity for the elderly. Not only is it difficult to recover after a fall, but it also affects body functions and causes serious damage.
Gu Fanghua asked Mi Qi to open the drawer of the bedside table next to her. All the inspection lists were inside.
Mickey took it out and looked at the list and breathed a sigh of relief, but still frowned: "Mom, I'll hire a nanny for you to take care of you and live with you when you get better, so you don't have to cook by yourself. How about it?"
Gu Fanghua just thought she was just saying it casually: "You silly kid, you don't need to pay for hiring someone? How expensive are labor costs now! Stop spending money blindly..."
"Then what should you do? I have to go to work and can't be with you every day."
"What did you say? Work? Did you go to work?" Gu Fanghua's eyes suddenly became less weak and he focused on Mickey.
"Well, yes, I'm at work. Today was originally my first day at work." Mickey nodded, "You said you injured yourself and asked for leave."
"What kind of class do you take? Did Xiaosi ask you to take it?"
"I have to go by myself. I can't stay at home and be a housewife all my life." Mickey lowered her eyes and put the list back in the drawer. "This is my own business."
"What do you call your own business? You are married, and your business is the family's business. Yanyan and Xixi can't live without you even when they are young! You go to work, who cares about the family? Look, I'm falling now I'm injured. You could have taken care of me for a few days, but now you have to leave me to care!!" Gu Fanghua arched her upper body and gained strength to speak.
Mi Qi looked at Gu Fanghua, who lay back down silently, "You are over thirty, how many years can you really work for? It is not the work unit, the family is your life unit! You... just love to toss!"
"Mom, talk less and rest more." Mi Qi covered the fuming Gu Fanghua with a quilt and went to the kitchen to take a look. The refrigerator was full, but she hurried over and it was too late to do anything at this time.
She went downstairs to buy some takeaway.
Unexpectedly, Dou Yian hasn't left yet.
At the gate of the community, Dou Yian leaned against the car and looked up from time to time, looking down at his watch.
"Lawyer Dou, I thought you left."
"Oh. I want to say that in case you still need help." Dou Yi'an put his hands in his pockets and stepped forward, "How is Auntie?"
"My right leg is in plaster, but I'm fine." Mickey bowed slightly, "Thank you for driving me here, or else, Lawyer Dou, could I treat you to a meal?"
He helped bring her here, and she invited her to eat when it was time.
Reciprocity.
Dou Yian did not refuse, and pointed to the noodle shop next to the community, "Let's go there to eat."
Mickey was slightly surprised.
She wanted to invite him nearby, but was embarrassed to say it.
Unexpectedly, Dou Yian took the initiative to be easy-going.
"Is it okay?" Dou Yian asked the stunned Mickey, "Is it still inconvenient?"
"Ah, no... I thought you wouldn't like eating in this kind of small restaurant." Jiang Si never ate in this kind of small restaurant, even when he was studying, he would either invite her to a Western restaurant or cook at home.
"How come? The more authentic foodies are, the more they go to these inconspicuous places." Dou Yian smiled.
Mickey took him inside and saw that he really wasn't that particular. He was wearing a designer suit and just pulled up a plastic chair and sat down, without any pretense.
"I want two bowls of the signature pork belly noodles here. It's delicious. Is that okay?" Mickey came over to confirm with him after ordering.
Dou Yi'an nodded happily: "Okay."
Mi Qi introduced to him: "Although this shop looks small and inconspicuous, it has been open for almost 20 years. The condiments are all taken care of by the boss himself. It is very clean and fragrant."
"Just say this pork belly. Others may buy it in bulk at a cheap price on the market and cook it for you directly. But this place is different. They stir-fry it with star anise, flower ingredients and sesame oil first. If you put it in before adding it, the taste will be particularly good.”
When the noodles arrived, Mickey rambled on about how to make them.
Dou Yian always listened quietly and carefully, not impatient at all.
It was also because of him that Mickey accidentally talked too much. "I... get high easily, don't mind."
Dou Yian took the small plate and poured a little vinegar: "I like to hear it very much."
Mickey was stunned.
"Everything in life is knowledge. I'm busy with work. I only make a cup of coffee or milk when I get home. I rarely have time to cook, so I don't know any of this."
Mi Qi nodded and said in a bitter tone: "I am also a lawyer, but Lawyer Dou likes to listen a lot."
Dou Yian knew who she was talking about. Since he mentioned that person, Dou Yian took out his mobile phone and sent a document to her.
"I accepted your deposit, but you still need to sign a formal appointment contract. It contains legal fees and some risks of litigation. Please read it carefully if you have time."
Mickey's enlarged portion of the lawyer's fee is one percent of the property in the divorce suit.
Less than expected.
Mickey asked him: "This part seems different from what I know."
Dou Yian was slightly startled and explained: "Oh, this is the minimum charging standard. If the customer is willing to pay more, it is fine."
Mickey nodded slowly: "That's it."
She said that if this charging standard was followed, it would be impossible for her family to move from the suburbs to a large villa, drive a big car, and achieve a huge leap in just less than four years.
Today, the dignity of her company is upheld by DK, and she has such a good lawyer to take care of the upheaval of her life in the future.
Mickey was sad but also deeply moved.
"Jiang Si is your competitor, you can make a lot of money."
"I really thought about it." Dou Yian nodded calmly and said jokingly, "But don't you have two children? Taking care of ladies and children is a humanitarian spirit."
Mickey smiled and made a decision in her heart.
After eating the noodles, it was time for Dou Yi'an to go back.
Mi Qi told him that she had asked for leave on her first day at work today, "Honestly, I don't know how long I can work, but I will work hard. This job will be of great help to me in obtaining custody of my child. I don't want to lose."
Dou Yian affirmed her statement and told her: "Looking at the overall situation, you have a natural disadvantage compared to Jiang Si. His cheating is the biggest weakness in the division of divorce property, but even in terms of custody rights, You have a job, your employment period, salary and other aspects will be factors weighed by the judge. I mean... you don't have to put too much pressure on yourself."
"How can there be less pressure to fight a battle that is impossible to win..."
"But at least, win or lose, I will stay with you until the last moment." Dou Yian looked at Mi Qi who lowered his head unconsciously, "You are not alone."
Mickey raised her eyes.
Dou Yian raised his hand: "Let's go, otherwise you will have to thank me again."
Mickey told herself that there are still many good people in the world.
No, DK, Dou Yian.
Two good people are helping her, Adou.
Carrying takeout home, Mi Qi seemed to hear Gu Fanghua talking on the phone.
