In the ordinary daily life of Zhang Jing and Wang Qiang, sister-in-law Li Mei always seems to have an indescribable subtlety. Recently, the little cousin Wang Hao at home seems to look more and more like his uncle Wang Qiang, especially those eyes, which are almost identical. Whenever this little guy ran around the house, Zhang Jing couldn't help but stare at Wang Hao's face tightly, and the little doubt in his heart was inexplicably getting bigger and bigger.
"Brother, look at this kid Haohao, is it the mirror of our family?" Li Mei smiled and said to Wang, her eyes were a little naughty.
"Well, it does. This kid was born with a strong face. The laughter of the relatives around her was endless, but Zhang Jing quietly held the teacup, and her heart rippled layer by layer.
Not only that, but recently, Zhang Jing has also noticed that there seems to be some more intimacy between Wang Qiang and Li Mei. Every time relatives gather, the gentle touch, the silent communication, and the intimate salutation that slipped out of the mouth intentionally or unintentionally, all made Zhang Jing's mood extremely complicated.
Just last weekend, the family sat around the living room, and the topic of Wang Hao's appearance was brought up again in a casual chat. Li Mei quipped: "Zhang Jing, you have to pay more attention to our family Haohao, don't even your husband was seduced away by him in the end." ”
Wang Qiang smiled when he heard this, but somehow a trace of displeasure flashed in Zhang Jing's heart, and he pretended to be calm: "Don't talk nonsense, our Jiaqiang will not change his mind." The implication is that there is a strong vigilance.
Zhang Jing began to observe secretly, and after dinner that day, he found Wang Qiang and Li Mei sitting on the balcony, whispering, revealing intimacy in their tones. Although the content could not be heard clearly through the window, it was enough to make Zhang Jing's heart rise more doubts.
"Brother, don't worry, I will take care of this matter." Although Li Mei's words were subtle, they clearly reached Zhang Jing's ears. Wang Qiang just patted the back of Li Mei's hand with a look of trust.
In the silent night, Zhang Jing tossed and turned, full of thoughts. She realized that if there was any secret behind it, she had to uncover it. It's just that in my heart, there is an indescribable fear and uncertainty, as if once the truth is revealed, this family may be unrecognizable.
The next day, the peace of the family was shattered, and Wang Qiang hurried out the door, forgetting to take his mobile phone with him. Zhang Jing looked at the mobile phone lying quietly on the sofa, and hesitated whether to check it, does this represent distrust of her husband? But then, the interweaving of various emotions made her decide, and she wanted to find out.
With an inexplicable impulse, Zhang Jing unlocked the password on Wang Qiang's mobile phone, but what she saw was an unexpected secret letter. Those words, seemingly inconsequential, were enough to arouse all her suspicions about the existence of this family. She realizes that not only herself, but everyone seems to be hiding some secret that no one else is knowing.
The seeds of doubt had been planted in Zhang Jing's heart, and she began to pay closer attention to every detail of her home. In her eyes, every word and deed of every family member may hide clues. Especially the observation of her husband Wang Qiang and sister-in-law Li Mei is almost to the point of getting to the bottom of it.
At a dinner party at home, the elders talked about the old family stories, reminisced about the past, and inadvertently mentioned some family secrets in the past. These stories opened Zhang Jing's eyes, she never thought that the people around her, everyone had one story or another.
The sister-in-law, Li Mei, also seems to have something on her mind. After dinner that day, Zhang Jing saw her sitting alone in the corner of the living room, in a daze. Zhang Jing walked over lightly and asked gently, "Sister-in-law, I see that you have been absent-minded lately, is there something on your mind?" ”
"Sister-in-law, what's the matter, I'm not a weather change, I feel a little dizzy." Li Mei replied with a smile, but there seemed to be some reluctance hidden in her smile.
"Then you have to pay attention to your body, do you want to go to the hospital?" Zhang Jing proposed with concern.
"It's okay, it's okay, just rest more." Li Mei waved her hand and did not continue the topic.
On other days, Zhang Jing noticed that Wang Hao occasionally had some movements and habits that were extremely similar to Wang Qiang, which made Zhang Jing, who was already suspicious, even more confused.
Wang Hao also felt the strangeness of his aunt, and once when the two of them were alone, he asked curiously: "Auntie, do you think I am very similar to my uncle?" ”
"Well, yes, but you're much better behaved than your uncle when he was a kid." Zhang Jing smiled, but a trace of inexplicable worry flashed in her heart.
Even the hurried footsteps when she came home from school, Zhang Jing would involuntarily overlap with Wang Qiang's shadow when she was young, and the painful resemblance made her feel suffocated.
Gradually, Zhang Jing began to distance herself from Wang Qiang, and even under the same roof, she always deliberately kept her distance. Whenever Wang Qiang tried to get closer and kindly asked her if there was anything bothering her, she was always perfunctory.
"Zhang Jing, what's wrong with you lately? Is there something on your mind? Or is there something wrong with your work? Wang Qiang asked with concern.
Zhang Jing just shook her head, "It's nothing, it's really a little busy at work, maybe a little tired." ”
However, Wang Qiang did not stop there, he began to pay attention to Zhang Jing's every move, and at the same time, a trace of uneasiness gradually swelled in his heart. The life between husband and wife seems to have cracked an invisible gap, Wang Qiang tries to make up for it, while Zhang Jing is crumbling in the gap.
As Zhang Jing's meticulous observation continued, an obvious fact gradually became clear - in the home she was in, everyone was like hiding their own secrets behind a high wall.
That night, everyone in the family was already asleep, and only Zhang Jing sat alone in the dimly lit living room, immersed in her own world. She was mentally prepared to use the last resort to test the conjecture that made her heartache - a paternity test.
After struggling in her mind, Zhang Jing finally decided to take action. She took advantage of the moment when the family was not paying attention, secretly took Wang Hao's toothbrush and hair, and carefully wrapped them, as if she were dealing with the most precious treasure.
A few days later, the results came in. The moment she received the call, Zhang Jing's fingers couldn't help but tremble, she could hardly believe her ears - Wang Hao was indeed not Wang Qiang's nephew, and all the closeness and similarity were a carefully packaged lie.
Looking at the appraisal results, Zhang Jing felt that her world had collapsed in an instant, and tears had blurred her vision. She was stunned, angry, sad...... All kinds of emotions are intertwined, like a storm stirring in the heart.
"How is this possible? Why is that? Zhang Jing almost shouted, but the house was quiet, and there was no response.
Wang Qiang happened to return home at this time and found Zhang Jing looking depressed. He immediately stepped forward and asked, "Zhang Jing, what's wrong with you?" ”
Facing Wang Qiang, Zhang Jing's eyes were full of complicated emotions, and she suddenly realized that she couldn't face him. The person in front of her, the person she once loved dearly, now made her feel terrified and strange.
"Is there anything else you can say to me?!" Zhang Jing bit her lip, almost questioning.
Wang Qiang was shocked by Zhang Jing's emotions, he could feel the seriousness of the matter, but he was confused by Zhang Jing's accusations.
"Zhang Jing, what are you talking about? I don't understand why you're like this. Wang Qiang said helplessly and eagerly.
"Don't pretend! You say, is Wang Hao your son? Zhang Jing finally couldn't help but blurt out, her voice full of tremors.
Wang Qiang was completely stunned when he heard this, and he felt a coldness rushing from the soles of his feet to the bottom of his heart. His expression changed from bewilderment to shock and finally to deep helplessness.
"You did a paternity test? Zhang Jing, have you really made this far? Wang Qiang's voice trembled a little.
And Zhang Jing didn't answer, tears couldn't hide it, at this moment, she felt as if she had lost the whole world.
Now, all the secrets have been revealed, the hidden stories behind each family member have surfaced, and this severely affected family must face a new beginning.
As night slowly fell, Zhang Jing's home gradually returned to calm. This turmoil seems to tell her that every choice in life is a learning
