Just after a spring rain, the tender green willow buds have already emerged. The bare grass is also covered in a field of plush. Outside the window, it was a bright spring, and Chen Si in the window frowned, pursed his lips as if he was thinking about something.
"Mom, I want to see Dad. Her daughter's words touched her heartstrings, and Chen Si only felt a sour nose and tears almost fell.
"If you want to see your father, you can call him. Chen Si took several deep breaths, and said to his daughter with a smile.
"Mom, you're crying. Mommy won't cry, okay?" the six-year-old's tender little hand touched her cheek and gently wiped away the tears that had not yet dried.
"Mom is fine, you go and call Dad. Chen Si wiped his face and handed the phone to the child.
"Call Daddy. The child's heart is changing quickly, just now he was comforting his mother, and the next second he ran away happily.
Zhang Wu came quickly, but the car stopped downstairs in ten minutes.
"Nono, Nono. Daddy is here!" Zhang Wu greeted his daughter with open arms. The child ran downstairs and rushed into his father's arms.
Chen Si only stood upstairs silently and watched, without saying a word. "Gone. Zhang Wu raised his head and said hello to her. Chen Si nodded in response.
"How did we get to this point?" Back in the house, Chen Si looked at the wedding photos on his phone, stunned.
Time drifted away with her thoughts, back to two years ago.
"Old man, how can you live if you leave me alone...... "My father-in-law has been dead for a week, and my mother-in-law Cai Qin still cries every day holding the portrait of her wife.
"Mom, Dad, if Izumishita knows how to see you so sad. He's not at ease. People can't be resurrected after death, and those who are alive have to continue to live. Chen Si held her mother-in-law's shoulders and comforted her repeatedly, and the tissues were handed one after another.
She and Zhang Wu have been married for six or seven years, and their relationship has always been very good, and she gets along well with her parents-in-law. Seeing my mother-in-law so sad, I can't tell what I feel in my heart. envied her deep relationship with her father-in-law, and regretted that her father-in-law left in too much of a hurry, and her mother-in-law was not psychologically prepared at all.
"Mom, you're still young. If you want to go one step further in the future. We won't stand in the way. Zhang Wu, who had been watching from the side for a long time, suddenly said this under Chen Si's eyes.
One sentence made both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law raise their heads. Chen Si was shocked by her husband's astonishing words, and her mother-in-law probably didn't expect her son to comfort her so much.
"Your father and I are a young couple, and I just want to guard him for the rest of my life. Cai Qin wiped her tears as she spoke, and went back to the house with the portrait.
"Look at your mouth, you speak no matter the occasion. Mom must be angry, you hurry up and coax her. Chen Si glanced at Zhang Wu fiercely.
"My mom and I have been talking like this all the time, it's fine. Zhang Wuyi sat on the sofa and swiped his mobile phone by himself.
"You're fine, I'm afraid that my mother-in-law still thinks I can't tolerate her, and wants to send her away early. Chen Si secretly slandered.
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was possible. Chen Si went back to the room and discussed with his girlfriends, and finally decided to send his mother-in-law to the university for the elderly near his home to play. First, to divert attention, and secondly, to avoid the embarrassment of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law staring at home every day.
Just do it. Chen Si enrolled her mother-in-law in a class at the University for the Elderly, bought a new set of clothes, and happily sent her to school.
After going to the University for the Elderly, Cai Qin's smile gradually increased. Maybe it's because she has more contact with her peers, and she has a lot of friends on her phone, and she chats a few words from time to time.
"Daughter-in-law, it has to be you. My mom has been much more cheerful lately. Zhang Wu was in a good mood when he saw his mother's change.
"Because grandma is in love. Nuno, a four-year-old daughter, suddenly spoke in surprise.
"What are you talking about? Be careful, grandma is angry when she hears it. Chen Si immediately reprimanded the child with a tiger face.
"I'm not talking nonsense. When my grandmother picked me up from school in the afternoon, she said she had found me a grandfather. The little girl had a serious expression on her face. Chen Si and his wife couldn't help but believe it.
"Why don't I find an opportunity to find out what the old lady is talking about. Zhang Wu hesitated.
"Pay attention to the way you speak. Chen Si instructed.
Before the two of them could act, her mother-in-law Cai Qin took the initiative to confess.
"I met a friend online. He's coming over tomorrow to have a meal with you. Cai Qin squirmed, like an eighteen-year-old girl.
As soon as Zhang Wu saw this, he knew that his daughter was not talking nonsense.
"Where is this uncle from?"
"I don't remember the exact location, it's about 300 kilometers away. The mother-in-law recalled.
"Mom, even if you have an online relationship, are you still in a long-distance relationship?" Zhang Wu was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop.
"No matter how old you are, you have the right to pursue love. Cai Qin glanced at her son.
"Mom is right, what time is it tomorrow? Chen Si patted her husband on the shoulder and motioned for him to shut up.
"This is your Uncle Liu Gen. ”
"This is my son and daughter-in-law. Nono came and called someone. Under Cai Qin's introduction, several people greeted each other and sat down to eat.
At the end of the meal, Liu Gen proposed to take a group photo. Chen Siwan refused.
"It's hard to sit down and have a meal with people you don't know. It's too strange to take pictures together, is it possible that this time, he and our mother have made up their minds? It's nothing, what kind of family photo are you taking?" Chen Si complained to her husband while removing her makeup in the bedroom.
Somehow, after she saw Liu Gen, she was very repulsive to the other party. Maybe it's because of her preconceptions, she thinks that her father-in-law is only Zhang Wu's father.
"The old man probably thinks it's better to talk, so just say it, don't care. Although Zhang Wu also felt that the other party's idea was a bit excessive, he still stood on his mother's side.
"You, elbow out. If your dad knew, he would have beaten you up in his dreams. Chen Sibai glanced at her husband.
"My dad will definitely not beat me up for your sake. Zhang Wu laughed and amused.
An unpleasantness quietly dissolved in the bickering between the two people.
After a few days, Chen Si suddenly found that a photo of his family appeared on an unfamiliar account when he was watching a short video. It turned out that Liu Gen took a photo with their photos.
Chen Si was angry when he saw it: "What's going on? Our photos are with him, and people who don't know still think that we are a family." With that, she sent a screenshot of the video to Zhang Wu: "You quickly tell your mother and ask him to delete the video." ”
Zhang Wu agreed. But after several days, the video was still hanging there, so angry that Chen Si almost dropped his phone.
"Did you say that?" Chen Si asked Zhang Wu.
"What's the matter, don't you just take it to heart?" Zhang Wu said lazily.
Chen Si rolled her eyes and stopped turning to her husband for help. Instead, he ran to the other party's comment area to leave a message: "Old man, this video has my photos involving my privacy, I hope you delete it as soon as possible." ”
After a few more days, the short video was finally gone. Chen Si breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time became more and more disgusted with Liu Gen.
Another half a month has passed. During this period, her mother-in-law Cai Qin's attitude towards Chen Si has always been lukewarm. Chen Si couldn't raise the interest to coax her. She felt that she was right about this matter, and her mother-in-law directly sent a photo of her family to the old man without consent, which was even more disrespectful to her.
Chen Si thought that this time with her mother-in-law was already the bottom line in the process of getting along with them, but she didn't expect that an incident two months later completely detonated the bomb.
Chen Si, who was working in the unit, suddenly remembered that his USB flash drive was left at home. As she hurried home, she heard the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.
Haven't all the clothes you changed last night already been washed? Chen Si walked into the bathroom curiously. I saw that the washing machine was working. She turned the switch off and opened it to see four or five pairs of men's underwear soaked inside.
"Mom, why do you put other people's underwear in our washing machine to wash it?
"This is my home, and I can wash whoever I want. Cai Qin remembered what happened before, and her tone of voice was also extremely rushing.
"What is your home, this house was built by me and Zhang Wu hand in hand!" Chen Si was so angry that he had no cultivation.
"Okay, you're going to kick my old woman out, aren't you? I'll go now, lest I get in your way." With that, Cai Qin packed a few clothes and left the house.
Chen Si was also angry and ignored her. I took the USB flash drive and went back to the company.
Not long after I arrived at the office, my phone rang: "What did you say to my mother? Now she is clamoring to commit suicide." Zhang Wu's tone was anxious and angry, almost shouting.
Chen Si felt extremely aggrieved, she turned into the microphone and asked, "Do you want to ask your mother what she did to me first?"
"Even if my mother is not, you can't kick her out!"
"Your mom is right. You don't have any judgment as an adult. I've really had enough with you. Divorce!" As soon as the word divorce came out, Chen Si regretted it. It's a pity that it's hard to take back what you say.
"Leave, leave!" Zhang Wu looked at his crying and noisy mother beside him, and blurted out words against his will.
"Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. Chen Si stroked the divorce certificate, tears blurring his vision. How did she and Zhang Wu get to this point?
"Your mother-in-law is partly responsible for this matter, and you and Zhang Wu, the stinky boy, each have a part. "At some point, a man stood behind him.
"Auntie. Chen Si woke up from his memories and looked at the person in front of him and whispered.
"Since you are willing to recognize me as an aunt, it means that you still have feelings for Zhang Wu. Zhang Fang said.
My aunt laughed. I just got used to it and couldn't change my mouth for a while. Chen Si lowered his head and said.
"Zhang Wu, a stinky boy, has regretted tears every day since the divorce, and my head is about to be poked out of the hole. Zhang Fang pulled the topic back again.
"Your mother-in-law and my sister-in-law are a love brain, and I have told her fiercely. You said that you were not familiar with each other, so you leaked the photos of your family to others. In case there is any bad intention, take Nono away. She had no place to cry. also helped others wash their underwear, who knows if there is anything wrong with the old man, and what if he infects his family?" Zhang Fang repeated the words of his sister-in-law, intending to impress Chen Si.
"But then again, my aunt has to say a few words about you. Let's be a daughter-in-law, don't rush to the front of your mother-in-law's affairs, no one will praise you if you do a good job, and if you don't do it well, you will complain. Zhang Wu and his mother are mother and son, and it doesn't matter if it's heavy or light. Do you think that's the reason?" As soon as Zhang Fang's voice fell, Zhang Wu ran in: "Auntie, what you said is a bit of a discord. ”
"Stinky boy, you're too embarrassed to speak. If you had been able to mediate the conflict between your mother and daughter-in-law at the beginning, where would you be able to do this today? Zhang Fang made a gesture to beat Zhang Wu, but Zhang Wu shrank his neck and shut up.
"Mom, can you forgive Daddy?" said her daughter, Nono, poking her head out from behind the door.
"Nuonuo, you asked your aunt to come, right?" Chen Si asked as he looked at his daughter, who looked like a little adult.
"Mom, I don't want you to be separated from Dad. I've seen you cry a lot since you moved out, and I don't want my mom to be upset. The little girl began to cry as she spoke.
"Nuno told me that the light in the bathroom is broken, and you change it all the time, and take a shower in the dark every day. Zhang Wu said and handed over a light bulb.
"Stinky boy, what people lack is someone to change the light bulb. Zhang Fang scolded with a smile, pushed Zhang Wu forward, and the two collided together.
"I also changed the washing machine at home, and after a while with the old Liu, I found that your father is the best. His favorite daughter-in-law is only you. Zhang Fang played a video sent by Cai Qin and explained: "Your mother-in-law is embarrassed to come to see you, so ask me to show you this video." ”
"Mom, let's go home. Nuno took Chen Si's hand and shook it.
"Silly boy, how can it be so cheap? I have to ask your dad to marry your mother back!" Zhang Fang continued to joke.
Chen Si's cheeks turned red after hearing this, like a peach blossom quietly blooming in March.
