"She wants to hate me, so I hate her too, so I won't move out." Cheng Huihui sat on the sofa and exhaled gently, slowly calming down her mood.
In fact, to be honest, Cheng Huihui knew that she should not get angry with Yao Shumei. The house was originally divided between Li Jiangang and it would definitely be the home of Yao Shumei and Li Jiangang in the future. She would have to move out sooner or later.
But everything in that house was arranged according to her wishes. In the past few years, Cheng Huihui regarded it as her home to express her emotions.
The curtains were made by the tailor according to her designs, the vases, the ornaments, everything, every bit is a trace of her life.
Cheng Huihui suddenly felt an indescribable feeling and asked in a daze: "Tell me, where is the home of us women?"
"I was born in my natal family and moved out when I got married. When Li Jiangang and I got married, I followed in Li Jiangang's footsteps. I would go wherever he was and live in his house." Cheng Huihui smiled bitterly, "Then I got divorced. , we have to move out from here.”
"Tell me, where is our destination?"
Cheng Huihui raised her head to look at Yan Zhen, her eyes filled with questions, "Men know where their home is and where their roots are from the time they are born, but what about us women?"
"I don't even know where I'm buried. I have to rely on a man I've never met to determine whether my life is good or not? It's even more ridiculous. We've only met a few times and chatted a few times, but we can't get along. In one year, can you be sure that this person can really give you a lifetime of happiness?"
"Your future is decades, and you just gave it so hastily? We usually have to carefully plan every dollar we spend. Why is it that when it's our turn to get married, we have to be pushed forward all the time?" ?”
"We were not living well, so we moved out of that man's house, and then we moved into another man's room with the help of his own woman's skin and a wife in exchange."
"Let's live a makeshift life as everyone expected, lying on the same bed day after day, each thinking about his own little ninety-nine, sharing the same bed with different dreams."
"What if one day, he kicks me out of his home? What will I do next? Then use my woman's body to exchange for the next place to stay?"
"This is horrific."
Yan Zhen shook his head and said, "The point is, everyone is used to it. If you think something is wrong, you become the target of criticism. This is the scariest thing."
"In the end, they will tell you that everyone has come here like this, why can't you? So you have to find your own problems."
Yan Zhen has been reborn and understands the difficulty of being a woman. Cheng Huihui is educated and enlightened.
Chen Juan didn't seem to understand very well. She frowned and said, "Why, why are you talking about this?"
"Don't women have to get married and have children when they get older? It's natural for men to marry and have children. Why is it so complicated? Besides, aren't there a small number of people who get divorced?"
Chen Juan looked at Yan Zhen and then at Cheng Huihui, feeling a little uneasy. This was her friend, but today she realized that sometimes she didn't understand what they were talking about.
If things go on like this, will she be abandoned by Yan Zhen and Cheng Huihui? Can't keep up with them?
Yanzhen explained, "That's how you understand it. We have the ability, so we won't suffer from our in-laws' family, because we have a way out, and we can live whatever kind of life we want in the future."
"If we don't want to get married, it's fine. We have our own jobs, can support ourselves, have our own houses, and will always have a place to stay. This is the confidence you have to face everything."
Chen Juan nodded, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "If you put it that way, I understand."
"That said, we women still have to be capable."
There was still a hint of gloom on Cheng Huihui's face. She knew that Yan Zhen understood what she meant, but she also knew in her heart that no matter how many years later, her worries would always be there.
"Hey, don't think about this kind of thing for now. Yan Zhen, please go to Cao Fengxia's house with me first." Chen Juan turned to Yan Zhen, sighed and said, "Let's go find out about Cao Fengxia's background."
Yan Zhen nodded and said, "Okay."
Yan Zhen looked at Cheng Huihui's lonely expression and knew what she was worried about. The child in Cheng Huihui's belly was a girl, and she didn't want her child to live like her in the future.
When she gets married, she has to leave her parents and live in someone else's house. Can they not ask for a bride price or a man to prepare a house, so that she can keep her daughter by her side?
Cheng Huihui shook her head, feeling that she had thought too much. The days ahead were so long, who knew what the future would be like?
Before Yan Zhen left the house, he comforted Cheng Huihui and said, "Don't think about anything now. The only thing you want to think about is how to give birth to the child safely. I'll think about the rest later."
"Everything will work out as soon as it reaches the bridge. If you think too much about it now, it's actually unfounded."
"That's right." Cheng Huihui said with a smile, "Okay, you go out quickly."
Cheng Huihui returned home, and Yan Zhen and Chen Juan walked downstairs.
There was a package thrown in the trash can downstairs. It could be vaguely seen that it was the child's milk powder and clothes delivered by Yao Shumei.
"What do you think Yao Shumei wants to buy for Cheng Huihui's child?" Chen Juan opened the bag and looked at it and said, "Tsk, they are really good things. Yao Shumei spent a lot of money on them."
"So Yao Shumei is a smart person." Yan Zhen glanced at the bag and said, "This will make Li Jiangang feel that she is grand, win Li Jiangang's favor, promote the relationship between them, and also be able to comfort Cheng Huihui."
Chen Juan threw the bag away, clapped her hands and said, "Maybe Cheng Huihui is not the main reason. She mainly wants to see the house in Tongzilou. After all, it is her future home, so it is understandable."
"It's just such a pity."
"You can look at it later, it will be picked up soon." Yan Zhen said with a smile: "Everything is clean and can't be wasted."
The two of them walked out of the courtyard talking and laughing, and got on the bus to Cao Fengxia's home.
An hour later, Yan Zhen and Chen Juan had arrived at the door of Cao Fengxia's community. Chen Juan wandered around first, and then walked to the unit door of Cao Fengxia's home.
Chen Juan wanted to try her luck in the neighborhood to see if she could meet Cao Fengxia's neighbor or something so that she could glean some words from the neighbor's words.
As a result, no one was seen.
As soon as the door was knocked, a slightly older voice came from inside, "Who is it?"
Yan Zhen replied: "Hello, I am the doctor from Xuanji Hall. I am here to see Cao Fengxia."
The door opened immediately, and the old man inside said enthusiastically: "It's the doctor. Come in quickly. Is it cold outside? I'll pour you some water!"
"Fengxia is asleep! I call her!"
"Don't!" Yan Zhen took the aunt's hand and said, "Just let Fengxia sleep. We just came to check on her and make sure she's okay. Then we'll feel relieved."
Yan Zhen and Chen Juan looked at the old man in front of them together. Yan Zhen asked tentatively, "Are you Cao Fengxia's mother-in-law?"
The old man nodded, "Yes!"
Yan Zhen frowned slightly. Cao Fengxia said that her mother-in-law took Zhaodi back to her hometown. Her mother-in-law is at home now. What about Zhaodi?
Chen Juan obviously thought of this and asked anxiously: "What about Zhao Di? Why didn't I see Zhao Di?"
The aunt smiled and said: "Zhao Di, she is in the countryside with her grandfather. Fengxia needs someone to take care of her, so I came here. But you also know that the policy is here now. If the family planning office discovers Zhao Di, , Fengxia finally got pregnant and had to be aborted.
So we can only let the child suffer a little, stay in the countryside with her grandfather for a while, and wait until Fengxia gives birth to the child. "
Yan Zhen felt more at ease when he saw that the old lady didn't feel guilty at all when she spoke.
Yan Zhen began to look at the room, and Zhao Di's things were still there, including toys, schoolbags, etc.
Yan Zhen and Chen Juan looked at each other, and Chen Juan nodded towards Yan Zhen.
Their goal was achieved, and it was difficult to wake up Cao Fengxia, so they said goodbye.
The old lady sent Yan Zhen and Chen Juan out of the door.
As soon as the two of them walked out of the gate of the community, Chen Juan looked back and said, "Do you think I'm overthinking it? You see, the things that were used for recruiting are still there, and when the old lady talked about recruiting, her face was full of kindness. look like."
"Are we overthinking it?"
