Chapter 8

The wind shakes the bamboo shadow, and the moon shakes the heart.The full moon has passed, and the galaxy is dim.A waning moon casts a cold glow on the river surface in the middle of the night.Looking at the waves from a distance, the moon is like a lone star swaying slightly!
There are no lights outside the window, and everything is silent!
Thinking of her cousin and aunt's debt collection at night, Mei Xue tossed and turned in her heart and couldn't sleep.

Although Qiao's father paid for the house renovation in the first half of the year with his money from doing odd jobs on the construction site, Yan Yi was reluctant.It's just because Qiao's father said that he had paid his salary as soon as he came back, and it was unreasonable not to pay the bill if he had money.

This house was built after Mei Xue and Qiao Muchu got married, and Mei Xue knew how much she owed.The 2 yuan paid in the first half of the year is only a shortfall of more than 2000 yuan in wages and 5000 yuan borrowed from neighbors.Now is the autumn cotton harvest season, and the family only sold cotton for more than 6000 yuan in the past two days. How could it be possible to pay 2000 yuan to my cousin?It's just that Yan Yi doesn't want to take out the money herself!

The cousin got the money, and asked her son to drive to pick it up in a hurry without eating.Guest - is completely offended!I'm afraid this fault has to be written down on her unfilial daughter-in-law.

Mei Xue sighed: "It's really not the material to be a good daughter-in-law!"

As soon as the guests left, Yan Yi and Qiao Changsheng quarreled downstairs.

Yan Yi said in a sharp voice, "The house was built for them, and they should pay back the money. Do you still count on them in the future for such a penniless daughter-in-law?"

Qiao Changsheng's voice was low and impatient, and he vaguely heard: "The 2 yuan in the first half of the year was given by Meizi's family. How can she have money if she hasn't worked all year?"

Yan Yi said: "The money given by her natal family is not Mu Chu's? Can't you pay back the debt in the house?"

"When she married into Qiao's family, should Mu Chu's be separated from hers?"

...

Mei Xue got up and turned on the bed light, a dim light illuminated a small area beside the bed.Qiao Xinyan slept soundly, her small lips squirmed and sucked, as if she was breastfeeding in a dream.

Mei Xue walked gently to the floor-to-ceiling windows.Opening the curtains, bending down, the moon hangs high like a bow, but the cold light is dim.It was dark outside the window.The dim light of the bedside lamp leaked out of the window, and hard beetles and noctuid moths came to meet the dim light, and slammed against the glass door.

Mei Xue didn't have dinner at night, and she would be so hungry that her stomach twisted.Thinking that this house really couldn't stay any longer, he took his mobile phone and opened the glass door.Go to the balcony and close the screen door.

It's autumn, the moon is setting, and the night is as cool as water!
Dial a bunch of phone numbers!After a long time, a man's dreamy voice came from the opposite side: "Meizi, you are fast asleep! What's the matter if you don't sleep and call in the middle of the night?"

Mei Xue held the phone and pondered for a while, then lowered her voice and said, "Tell your mother, she will take my daughter, and I will go to work!"

……

Qiao Muchu: "No, Meizi! They are busy, can you come out after this busy time?"

"No!" Mei Xue gritted her teeth and growled.She really wanted to wait until the cotton was harvested and plant the wheat before going out.But after the debt collection at night, she didn't want to wait any longer!
"I should have left a month ago! I am not a good daughter-in-law, and you are not a good husband either!"

"Then are you willing to give up Yanyan? He's still so young!" Qiao Muchu was pinched by Mei Xue, so he could only attack with emotion.And what he didn't refute was admitting that he was indeed not a good husband.

Qiao Xinyan was the flesh that fell from Mei Xue's October pregnancy.It was precisely because of reluctance that she insisted on taking the child at home after the confinement under the torment of the man's cheating!

In this day and age, marriage is easy and divorce is more commonplace.For a woman from an ordinary family like Mei Xue, if she is not cruel now, if she is not divorced, she may be so incompetent that she will lose her right to fight for her children!

You can choose not to fight, but it is by no means incompetent!
Mei Xue resolutely said: "I can't bear it, but I still have to go!"

……

The phone fell silent. After a while, Qiao Muchu sighed and said, "Okay, I'll talk tomorrow!"

"It just so happened that a colleague came home, and I asked him to bring you here with him!"
