Chapter 101 Four sisters gather together
Since the last time Xiaoju had a big quarrel because Xiao Qiang didn't come home all night, Xiao Qiang never came back.As for her mother-in-law, she went out to play mahjong every day as usual, leaving early and returning late, and ignored Xiaoju and Niuniu.
Xiaoju vaguely felt a bad sign, but she didn't know who to ask. In desperation, she had no choice but to call Jiang Qinghua: "Qinghua, do you know where Xiao Qiang went? He has never been home these days. .”
Ever since the last time the Xiao family's mother and son made a fuss over Xiao Ju's sprained ankle, Jiang Qinghua never looked for Xiao Ju again, and Xiao Ju never contacted Jiang Qinghua again.
"Xiao Ju, maybe you don't know yet? Brother Qiang has broken off our relationship with me. Sigh..." Jiang Qinghua sighed, "Look at what happened..."
"I'm sorry, Tsinghua, it's all because of me..." Xiaoju apologized guiltily.
"Xiao Ju, don't say that. Although we didn't do anything wrong, people's words are terrible, and I don't dare to look for you anymore. How are you doing recently, are you okay?" Jiang Qinghua asked Xiao Ju with concern, " Oh, by the way, you just said Brother Qiang hasn’t been home for a while?”
"Well, some time ago, Xiao Qiang once stayed out all night. When he came back the next day, we had a big fight because I called him a lot that night. At first, he didn't answer, but then a woman answered. , and then turned off his phone. After Xiao Qiang ran away from home that day, he hasn't been back home for so many days, and he can't contact anyone." Xiao Ju replied in a low voice.
"Is it true?" Jiang Qinghua whispered.
"Tsinghua, what is true? What do you know?" Xiaoju asked nervously.
"Xiaoju, I'm telling you, don't be too sad. I heard, or other people are spreading rumors, that Brother Qiang is getting together with his high school classmate Zhang Chunxiang."
"You mean Xiao Qiang really cheated?!" After hearing the news, Xiao Ju felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Tears suddenly blurred her eyes, and she stood there motionless.
"Xiaoju, you are such a good woman, but Brother Qiang doesn't know how to cherish her." Jiang Qinghua comforted her hurriedly.
Xiaoju didn't reply, just sobbed silently on the other end of the phone.
"Xiaoju! It's all my fault. I shouldn't have told you this news. Don't be too sad." Jiang Qinghua apologized quickly.
"Tsinghua, thank you for telling me the truth. That's it. I'll hang up first." After Xiaoju finished speaking, she hung up the phone silently.
Looking at the young Niuniu and looking around the empty yard, Xiaoju could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.Seeing her mother crying loudly, Niu Niu stopped crying, walked to Xiao Ju obediently, gently wiped the tears on Xiao Ju's face with her little hands, and coaxed in a low voice: "Mom, don't cry, be good."
After hearing this, Xiaoju hugged Niuniu tightly in her arms: "Niuniu, my good daughter, you are the only one left in front of my mother."
Xiaoju has never had a comfortable life since she married into this family. She silently endured all kinds of difficulties from her mother-in-law, while working hard to drag Niuniu along. There were endless housework to do every day.She thought that as long as Xiao Qiang was of the same mind as her, and as long as she could be patient enough, she would be able to persevere no matter how hard and tiring her life was now, and one day the clouds would clear and the moon would shine.But she never expected that now even Xiao Qiang would betray her, and she felt that her spiritual support suddenly collapsed.
After crying, the question of what to do next flashed in my mind.After thinking about it, Xiaoju picked up the phone and called Yuqing. She knew that Yuqing always had ideas.
"Hey, Yuqing, are you busy now?" Xiaoju asked with a choked voice.
"Xiaoju, why are you crying? What happened?" Yuqing asked hurriedly on the phone.
"Yu Qing, Xiao Qiang cheated on her." Xiao Ju replied while crying.
"Xiao Qiang cheated? Oh my god? When did it happen?" Yuqing asked quickly.
"Xiao Qiang hasn't been home during this time, and I didn't answer my phone calls. I found out he cheated on me today when I asked him about his childhood." Xiao Ju cried and said, "Yu Qing, what should I do? "
"Xiao Ju, please don't be sad now. You keep crying like this, which makes me feel uncomfortable." Yuqing felt very uncomfortable when she saw Xiao Ju like this, "How about this, Xiao Ju, this weekend, our four sisters will get together Let’s get together, have a good chat, and let’s all give you some ideas together, do you think this is okay?”
"But I can't leave, I have to take care of Niu Niu." Xiao Ju looked at the well-behaved Niu Niu in her arms and couldn't help but be timid.
"That's easy! You can take Niuniu with you! Let's all take care of her together. It just so happens that the aunts haven't seen the little cutie for a while." Yuqing suggested with a smile.
"Okay, then I will take Niu Niu to the city to meet you this weekend." Xiao Ju hesitated for a moment, wiped her tears and agreed with a choked voice.
At the weekend, Xiaoju hurriedly packed up Niuniu and her own belongings and hurried out the door.Xiaoju hugged Niuniu and hurriedly and slowly arrived at the meeting place agreed by the four sisters.
Xiaoju came to the door of the restaurant and looked around timidly. She saw three sisters sitting at the dining table not far away from the window, talking and laughing.Looking at the three stylishly dressed sisters in front of her, and then looking down at herself, Xiaoju couldn't help but feel ashamed.
Xiaoju opened the door and walked forward slowly, while Niuniu lowered her head and followed timidly behind her mother.
After seeing Xiaoju coming, the three sisters quickly stood up and greeted her.
"Oh, Niuniu is so big! Come on, let Auntie give her a hug." After Siyi saw Niuniu, she hurriedly knelt down and stretched out her hand to hug her.
After Niuniu looked at Siyi timidly, she shrank and hid in Xiaoju's arms.
Xiaoju replied sheepishly: "I'm sorry, Siyi, Niuniu was raised by me alone since she was a child, so she is quite clingy to her mother."
"Xiao Ju, sit down quickly." Yu Qing hurriedly asked Xiao Ju to sit down and shouted, "Waiter, bring me a baby chair."
Guan Lu looked up and down at the old-fashioned Xiaoju, and couldn't help but use her hands to stir up her big waves. At this time, Guan Lu, who was enjoying the spring breeze, couldn't help but feel proud when she looked at the downcast Xiaoju in front of her.It was really three years in Hedong and three years in Hexi. When she saw Xiaoju marrying Xiao Qiang, she didn't know how envious and jealous she was. How long had passed, but now the two people's positions had been "perfectly" reversed.
As soon as Xiao Ju sat down, Guan Lu picked up her brand new iPhone and showed off: "Xiao Ju, what's your WeChat ID? I'll add you."
Xiaoju took out her old Nokia and asked with a confused look on her face: "What is WeChat?"
Guan Lu glanced at Xiaoju's old-fashioned mobile phone and couldn't help but laugh: "Xiaoju, what age is this, and you are still using this kind of mobile phone? No wonder you don't even know what WeChat is! You are so outdated!"
After hearing this, Xiaoju smiled awkwardly, and then silently put away her Nokia.
Siyi took out two exquisite gift boxes and said to Xiaoju with a smile: "Xiaoju, look, I haven't looked for you since you gave birth to Niuniu and I was discharged from the hospital. I'm really sorry! Mainly because In the past few years, I have been too busy accompanying An Chen to start a business. To express my apology, I have prepared a gift for you and Niuniu. Open it and take a look. Do you like it? "
Xiaoju opened one of the gift boxes: "Wow! What a beautiful mobile phone!" Xiaoju couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.
Guan Lu hurriedly stepped forward to take a look, and said with envy: "It's the latest model of Apple! Siyi, you are too partial. You only prepared it for Xiaoju, not for me."
"Don't you already have it? You want more!" Siyi joked with a smile, then turned to Xiaoju and said softly, "I will download a WeChat account for you later."
"Thank you, Siyi! You are so kind!" Xiaoju thanked her gratefully.
"Open it quickly and take a look. What has Siyi prepared for Niu Niu?" Guan Lu urged from the side.
Xiaoju opened it and saw that it was a very delicate gold lock necklace.
Siyi explained with a smile: "The golden lock is also called the longevity lock. I wish our lovely Niuniu peace and longevity." After Siyi said that, she gently pinched Niuniu's little face with her hand.
"Thank you, Siyi. Niuniu, please say thank you, auntie!" Xiaoju replied gratefully again.
"Xiao Ju, I bought a dress for Niu Niu. Do you think it suits you?" Yu Qing also took out a beautiful packaging box and handed it to Xiao Ju.
Xiaoju opened it and saw that it was a beautiful little dress.When Niuniu saw it, she said in a sweet voice: "It's so beautiful! I like it!"
Everyone laughed.
When Guan Lu saw this, she smiled awkwardly and said, "Xiaoju, I am an unemployed vagrant now. Unlike the two of them, I am very wealthy, so I won't prepare gifts for you and Niuniu."
Xiaoju quickly replied: "It's okay, Lulu, we are all sisters, you're welcome."
At this time, the food is here!
Everyone was eating and chatting.
Guan Lu said: "Xiaoju, I heard Yuqing say that Xiao Qiang cheated?"
Xiaoju sighed and said nothing.
Guan Lu said angrily: "This stone man looks honest on the outside but is a philanderer on the inside. Just cheat on him, we don't care about him! Xiaoju, listen to me, just throw him away like a rag."
Then he looked at Xiao Ju with a distressed expression and sighed: "Look what you got from following him? What has such a neat little Ju been like after being tortured for just a few years?"
After hearing this, Siyi asked with interest: "Stone Man? What is a Stone Man?"
Seeing Siyi ask this question, Guan Lu proudly expressed her unique views on men: "This man can be divided into three types: rock, scissors, and paper. If this man relies on his own inherent attributes, such as being handsome, , good personality, high IQ, etc. to attract the opposite sex, then it is called scissors, such as An Chen. If this man relies on external attributes, such as having a lot of wealth, high social status or good reputation, etc. When it comes to attracting the opposite sex, it is called cloth, such as Yuqing's Lao Meng and our Lao Yan. Both scissors and cloth attract the attention of a large number of women, so they lack specificity." Hearing this, Yuqing and Siyi looked at each other. He glanced at it and smiled awkwardly.
Guan Lu continued to express her point of view: "There are also some men who, although inferior in various aspects, provide specificity, such as Xiao Qiang, then these types of men are called stones. But Xiao Qiang is a stone. Well, not only are the conditions in all aspects bad, but now they can’t even provide the only specificity. We call it garbage. Since it is garbage, it should be returned to the trash can.”
"Lulu, where did you learn all these fallacies?" After Guan Lu finished expressing her opinion, Yu Qing asked with a smile.
When Guan Lu heard this, she became anxious and quickly replied: "How can this be called heresy? This is the truth."
Siyi took over the words and said: "I don't quite agree with the point of view you just said, but there is one thing that I think makes sense. That is my view on Xiao Qiang."
Siyi turned to look at Xiaoju and said distressedly: "Xiaoju, since Xiao Qiang has cheated, let's face it bravely and choose to divorce him and be ourselves. What Lulu just said is right, look at how young you are when you get married. Years? Were you tortured into this state?"
Xiaoju sighed and replied helplessly: "I have also thought about divorce, but Niuniu is already two years old. If I choose divorce now, based on my conditions, Niuniu will definitely award Xiao Qiang. And my mother-in-law does not I like Niu Niu..." When Xiao Ju said this, she looked at Niu Niu with pity and continued, "What's more, I brought up Niu Niu by myself. How could I be willing to let go of how much hardship I have endured and suffered in the past two years? How about giving her to Xiao Qiang?"
Yuqing thought for a while and then said: "Why don't you find a job now? Only when a woman becomes self-reliant can she be qualified to talk about self-improvement. When you become strong, maybe your passiveness will become active."
"Yes! Maybe you want a divorce by then, but Xiao Qiang is still crying and shouting not to let you divorce!" Guan Lu replied with a smile.
"But no one helps me take care of Niuniu..." Xiaoju replied awkwardly.
"Since your mother-in-law won't help you take care of the children, you can ask your mother to come over and help!" Siyi suggested.
"My mother is probably very upset. Let's not say whether she will come. Even if she comes, there will be no place to live." Xiaoju replied helplessly.
"I heard that there is some kind of childcare center now, where you can take care of all Niuniu." Guan Lu suggested as if she suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, that's a good idea!" Yuqing quickly agreed.
"This? I'll ask later." Xiaoju actually thought about full-time childcare, but who would pay for the childcare fees now?
"How about Lulu, you should also find a job. Although your family is taking care of you and you don't have to worry about food and drink, you still live a life with your palms facing up." Yuqing saw that Xiaoju seemed to have a solution. way, and then turned to Guan Lu and suggested.
"Hey, work? It's just that little money for a month, and it's not enough for me to eat! I can't find anyone with a high salary! Let's just do this for now." They say it's difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, and it's true. Accustomed to a life of spending money lavishly, Guan Lu no longer wants to work in a job that involves more work and less money.
"Yuqing, did your Lao Meng tell you? I heard from An Chen that Chensu's takeout has been profitable recently, and the business is getting better day by day. An Chen said that after Chensu achieves stable profits, he and Brother Meng will take the lead We are going to travel to the Maldives!" Siyi asked Yuqing with a smile.
"Really? Brother Meng didn't tell me." Yu Qing pouted and replied.
"Maybe I want to give you a surprise! My Anchen is a person who can't hold back his words." Siyi said with a giggle.
"I really envy you! Love and career are all shoulder to shoulder." After hearing this, Guan Lu commented leisurely.
