After leaving the barber shop, Shi Chu went to the mall again. She wanted to buy some new clothes. The original owner didn't like to dress up and was frugal, so she dressed in gray clothes, forcing herself to look ten years older. Shi Chu, who loves beauty and is narcissistic, Chu couldn't stand the original owner's aesthetics, so naturally he didn't want to continue wearing her clothes.
When she arrived at the mall, she picked out a few sets of elegant and simple clothes. As soon as she put on the clothes, she immediately transformed from a middle-aged aunt into a mature and elegant elder sister, as if she had changed as a person.
When Shichu returned home, Liu Zongqiang saw her and could hardly recognize her: "Mom? How did you become like this?" When Shichu first walked in, he took a look and thought it was a neighbor who had gone wrong, but he didn't expect It's his mother.
"Isn't it bad to be like this?" Shichu said.
"Why are you dressing up at this age? You spend a lot of money on doing your hair and buying clothes, right? Why don't you think about your family at all? Your son and I still have to pay the mortgage to raise a child." Zhao Shuwen saw that she had changed. At the beginning of the appearance, he said with jealousy and dissatisfaction.
Shi Chu glanced at her lightly and asked, "Did I spend your money?"
Zhao Shuwen suddenly choked. She was not used to it at the beginning: "What does it have to do with me to pay off the mortgage and raise the children? The house is not mine, and the children are not born to me." After saying this, she mocked, "Don't you still want to eat it? Old, right?"
Of course, those who can chew on the old want to chew on the old, but Liu Zongqiang and Zhao Shuwen want to save face, they think in their hearts, but they can't say it with their mouths. To put it bluntly, they have to erect memorial arches when they are female cousins. At this time, Shi Chuming asked clearly. However, they couldn't admit it, so they were naturally not qualified to question how much they spent at the beginning.
"Mom is joking. Shuwen wants to say that your hair is well done and your clothes are well bought. They are beautiful and fit well." Liu Zongqiang sensitively felt that Shi Chu seemed to be dissatisfied with him, and realized that his status in her heart had dropped. .
But why is she dressed up so beautifully?
"Why? Why else? What can teach a woman to dress up and care about her appearance is of course because of a man!" Zhao Shuwen said sarcastically when Liu Zongqiang was wondering about his mother's change.
Liu Zongqiang suddenly realized, yes, a woman who even has grandchildren suddenly became fond of dressing up. What else could be the reason? Isn't it most likely that you have a crush on a man?
"Which man do you think Mom is attracted to?" Liu Zongqiang asked, "But she has been busy at home taking care of the children and doing housework this month, and she has no time to go out and socialize with others."
"Maybe that man is in his hometown." Zhao Shuwen rolled her eyes and said, "No wonder the old man refuses to help us take care of our children and wants to go back to our hometown. It turns out that we have an old friend."
"It's possible..." Liu Zongqiang was a little convinced, but then he became indignant, "My dad just passed away a year ago, and my mom already likes another man?!"
"What's so strange about this? Isn't she only in her forties? Isn't it normal to find another wife?" Zhao Shuwen said, "Some old men find new wives before their wives die."
Liu Zongqiang felt aggrieved and angry. He rushed into Shichu's small room and asked angrily: "Did you have an old flame in the country?"
Shichu looked at him indifferently: "Does it have anything to do with you?"
"You, you are shameless! You have grandchildren and you still miss a man, are you worthy of my father?" Liu Zongqiang asked with red eyes.
"Of course I am! I have never been sorry to him during our marriage. Do I still have to guard the archway for him after he dies? Your great-grandfather in the Qing Dynasty was not as feudal and decadent as you, right?" Shichu was extremely disgusted. This son's own spoiled wife The young son was by his side, and the old mother was alone in the countryside. He was not willing to let the old mother find a companion. He had to have someone guard the memorial tablet of his deceased husband, and she was all alone. What kind of stinking memorial arch spirit was this?
"I don't have a romantic partner yet, but I don't mind finding one in the future. I don't care whether you agree or not, and you can't interfere with my decision. So, shut your mouth and get out of my room!" Shi Chu became agitated. , stared at Liu Zongqiang coldly and said.
Liu Zongqiang had already realized that it was possible to find a wife at the beginning. Now he realized it and mentioned his most concerned interests again: "I can support you, but I will not give you money to raise a wild man."
"Don't think too much. It's not certain whether you can afford the alimony. Even if you do, it's definitely just a small sum. Are you worried that I'll use it to raise a wild man? Are you kidding me?" Shichu really laughed. Liu Zongqiang is too self-righteous. He is just an ordinary company employee now, and so is Zhao Shuwen. After taking maternity leave and returning to work, the salary will definitely not be high, and they still have to raise children and pay off the mortgage. At first, I really thought that they might not be able to do anything about it. Pay her alimony.
"You can take care of yourself from now on, I won't care about you!" Liu Zongqiang left these words with a stern expression, and then left as if running away.
Shichu rolled his eyes and slammed the door.
Early the next morning, she left with her luggage early, without even bothering to say goodbye to them. After Liu Zongqiang got up, he found that the kitchen was very quiet, and the breakfast that he usually prepared and put on the table was nowhere to be seen. Then I saw the door of the small house where Shi Chu lived was open, with nothing inside, and then I remembered that Shi Chu had left.
Normally, Zhao Shuwen was still asleep at this time, and the original owner had already brewed the milk powder and let it cool down before feeding the child. But this morning, Liu Zixuan woke up and cried because of hunger, but the milk powder hadn't been brewed yet, and Zhao Shuwen had no milk. , she had just been woken up and shouted irritably: "Liu Zongqiang, make milk powder for your son quickly!"
When Liu Zongqiang heard his son crying, he immediately frowned and was very impatient. He glanced at the clock and replied loudly: "I'm almost late for work and don't have time to make milk powder. You can get up and make him milk powder yourself! I'm leaving first." !”
After saying that, he ran away from home as if he were running away. He kept his son's crying at home, and then he felt relieved.
The neighbor upstairs happened to hear Liu Zixuan crying when the elevator was opening, so he couldn't help but joked: "Did you run away early to get some peace and quiet because you were scared by your son's crying?"
Liu Zongqiang was shocked. He laughed a few times and said, "No, I ran faster because I was almost late for work."
The neighbor's eldest brother smiled meaningfully, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't deny it in a hurry. I have also been through this since I was young. I understand your current situation. Isn't it just annoying that the child doesn't understand anything when he is just born... …”
Liu Zongqiang laughed even more awkwardly, and hurriedly escaped when the elevator reached the first floor.
Zhao Shuwen, who stayed at home, had no way to escape. She had to get up with a full stomach and got angry. She made milk powder angrily and waited for it to cool before going back to coax her son. Unfortunately, her son was so hungry that she couldn't coax him and cried. Endless.
She wasn't a very patient person, and she didn't have enough sleep, so she was naturally annoyed to death. She couldn't help but yell at Liu Zixuan: "Stop crying, I'll throw you away if you cry again!"
It's a pity that the baby didn't understand, so she cried even louder when she yelled at her.
Zhao Shuwen was so irritated that she almost wanted to die. Unfortunately, she didn't have her mother-in-law to help her this time.
