It is rare to rest during the week, and the children are not at home, Zhang Lingyu lies leisurely on the bed, playing with her mobile phone intently.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Sun Cheng walked in angrily: "My mother and my sister are coming over today, why haven't you gone grocery shopping yet?" What do you eat for lunch without grocery shopping? ”
Zhang Lingyu turned around and glanced at him disdainfully, not paying attention. His mother and sister are here, and they are not her mother's family, so she has nothing to worry about.
I only had a day off last month, and it seemed too reluctant to ask her to go to the kitchen at this time. Sun Cheng wanted to be angry, but she didn't bother to pay attention to him.
For many years, the couple earned their own money, spent their own money, and lived a life of non-interference with each other.
On holidays, they maintain a semblance of harmony in front of their respective families. After my son went to high school, he couldn't speak more than three sentences a week.
is so peaceful, but now shouting in front of her, it's really the courage of **.
What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear? Go buy groceries now, money, I'll transfer it to you later! ”
Sun Cheng nagged endlessly, venting his dissatisfaction.
Zhang Lingyu was really fed up, and sat up suddenly: "Don't you have long eyes?" Won't buy it yourself! ”
Sun Cheng didn't expect her to fight back so quickly, and stammered, "I don't know what to buy!" ”
Zhang Lingyu sneered and said: "Your mother and sister, I don't know much about it, I suggest you go in person, at least I won't be criticized, and the food won't be ruined." ”
Although his mother and sister are average cooks, they have broken mouths, and she doesn't want to be picked on for the meals she has worked so hard to make.
If Sun Cheng can't cook, then spend more money to order takeout. If you want to show off, why not go out to eat? Why embarrass her?
Don't worry, I'll pay for one-third of the food, and I won't let you suffer! Zhang Lingyu added, and then lay down leisurely, continuing to look at the ** on the phone.
Zhang Lingyu, who used to smile, became gloomy and lost her past pleasure in her life with Sun Cheng after marriage. Although her mother-in-law has been widowed for many years, it seems that it is not easy to raise a pair of children independently, but in fact, the relatives of the Sun family have raised tuition fees in order for Sun Cheng to go to school.
However, Sun Cheng knew that he was not competitive and unmotivated, and like his sister, he dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school and spent all day with a group of gangsters. After graduating from college, the ability to work was limited and I lost the right to speak at home. Although the eldest sister is an authoritative figure in the family, she does not have enough education and her earning ability is okay. The only flaw is that she has a rich love life, and she gave birth to a child with her current boyfriend, who is five years younger than Sun Cheng, but she has never received a certificate.
Despite such a family environment, Zhang Lingyu still chose to marry. Young and ignorant, she impulsively entered the palace of naked marriage under Sun Cheng's rhetoric. Less than three months after marriage, regret welled up in my heart, but I already had a child in my belly, and I was helpless to live a chaotic life.
Instead of choosing to live with their mother-in-law, they rented a house and lived alone. Although no one reached out to help, such a quiet was acceptable to her. After all, when she was immersed in love fantasies, her decision-making power was slightly better than that of Wang Baochuan, who was digging wild vegetables. However, Sun Cheng did not stand out and remained unknown. He complained every day about the lack of connections and good opportunities, and never met the opportunity that allowed him to take off.
As time went by at the age of 35, his career was even more unsatisfactory and no one cared about him. It is already a blessing to be able to keep the current job. And if you want to improve, it seems that you can only achieve it in a dream.
Zhang Lingyu thought that everything was like this, and she spent her days with Sun Cheng, but an accident broke the peace.
When my mother-in-law was suddenly hospitalized, life became chaotic. The three children of the eldest sister's family need to be taken care of, but because the mother-in-law is hospitalized, the sister's little boyfriend is unwilling to take responsibility anymore.
He was very dissatisfied with the ridicule of others, especially the responsibility for the two children, which made him feel irritable. The mother-in-law's unexpected situation makes everything even more complicated.
On the same day, Sun Cheng was notified to come to take care of his mother-in-law, and it was natural that as a son, he should be responsible for taking care of his old mother. However, my sister's family situation made this responsibility even heavier.
Although Zhang Lingyu regarded her mother-in-law as a stranger, she did not prevent Sun from becoming an old man and providing financial support. However, the dedication to caring for patients has not been well received. A few days later, Sun Cheng couldn't stand it anymore and began to propose to his sister to take turns taking care of his mother-in-law.
The eldest sister rejected the request on the grounds that there were many children in the family, and provided a ** fee, believing that she had fulfilled her obligations. Sun Cheng could only persuade Zhang Lingyu and pull his son to say good things together.
The son and Sun Cheng persuaded their mother-in-law together, believing that as relatives, they should share the responsibility of care. Even if the mother-in-law and Zhang Lingyu do not have a deep relationship, because of the blood relationship, the appearance of the son also adds to the convincing power.
In the face of the persuasion of her relatives, Zhang Lingyu's parents also joined the ranks of persuasion, hoping that she could be broad-minded. They believe that when they are old, life is short, and they should care for each other and set an example for their children.
Although Sun Cheng has always been stingy, in order to show his determination, he handed over the salary card to Zhang Lingyu and said that she would keep it in the future. Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Lingyu finally agreed to this responsibility and took turns taking care of her mother-in-law with Sun Cheng.
However, when it was Zhang Lingyu's turn to take care of her, things became complicated and cumbersome. When peeling fruit for your mother-in-law, you must be careful when the skin cannot be broken; In terms of diet, eat and drink more water, and go to the toilet frequently; Leg massages and all sorts of tedious care work are also performed.
Even though another old lady in the clinic advised Zhang Lingyu to take it easy and cherish having such a good daughter-in-law, her mother-in-law mistakenly thought that Zhang Lingyu complained to outsiders and publicized the ugliness of her family.
After taking care of him for more than ten days, when his mother-in-law was discharged from the hospital, Sun Cheng directly reported the loss of his bank card, completely making his previous promise come to naught. All this made Zhang Lingyu feel helpless, although she tried to release, Sun Cheng didn't believe it at all.
After Sun Cheng was discharged from the hospital, he was worried about his mother's situation, so he decided to move in with the old man, but he never communicated with Zhang Lingyu.
Despite the house they rented together, Sun Cheng didn't share any of the rent, and for good reason – he didn't actually live in the house.
Since Zhang Lingyu's salary not only has to pay the rent, but also to support herself and her son, her financial pressure gradually increases, so she asked Sun Cheng for financial support.
But despite repeated requests, the plea was fruitless, and she chose not to mention it again.
Although it was her responsibility to raise her son, she was no longer willing to give a penny for other things.
Being selfish might make life more comfortable.
As long as her son is admitted to college, she can breathe a sigh of relief, which also ends the relationship between mother and son.
With his mother-in-law**, Sun Cheng moved home and began to keep saying that his mother was old, his sister was not easy, and his relationship with Zhang Lingyu became more and more estranged.
Zhang Lingyu wondered in her heart: In so many years of marriage, is she so easy to treat?
Even if the pain in her heart was not so significant, the thorn made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
She and Sun Cheng seem to have become strangers under the same roof.
No matter what he said, she didn't want to listen anymore, and she no longer got into the talk of things that had nothing to do with her son.
The relationship between Sun Cheng and her gradually faded, but the relationship with her mother-in-law and sister gradually eased, and after half a year together, their family's goals began to coincide, however, Zhang Lingyu felt that she was being more critical, and all her shortcomings were infinitely magnified. Combined with her previous performance in the hospital, she began to feel that her daughter-in-law (brother-in-law) really did not seem to be satisfactory.
Mother and daughter occasionally come to visit her grandson, but they always point fingers at her.
Sometimes the children are not at home, but they still come, unabashedly as if they were ordering food in a restaurant, directly indicating what they want, and then sitting down to eat melon seeds and watch TV, and even pull Sun Cheng out of the kitchen with him.
When she was alone in the kitchen, Zhang Lingyu's heart was full of resentment. Does she feel like she looks so good at bullying?
Sun Cheng went out shopping, and half an hour later, he came back with large and small packages and placed them in front of Zhang Lingyu.
Zhang Lingyu glanced at it, it was full of things that her mother-in-law and eldest sister liked to eat, and none of them belonged to her.
Unwilling to be a maid at home, she continued to lie on the bed, playing with her mobile phone, listening to Sun Cheng busy in the kitchen, complaining dissatisfied.
She felt that cooking was too troublesome, especially when making so many dishes at once.
The voice of the mother-in-law and the eldest sister chatting in the living room came, Zhang Lingyu did not get up, but locked the door, as if she did not exist, and handed over the affairs of this family to them.
The eldest sister asked loudly, "Sun Cheng, Zhang Lingyu is not at home?" ”
Sun Cheng cursed, and then began to bang on the door strongly.
Zhang Lingyu put on a Bluetooth headset to avoid being disturbed by the outside world.
She didn't know that Sun Cheng outside was so emotional that he knocked the door and broke his arm.
Dinner must have been lost, and the eldest sister drove Sun Cheng to the hospital and brought her mother-in-law by the way.
When Zhang Lingyu walked out of the room, the house was in chaos.
Unbeknownst to her, she prepared a bowl of noodles for herself, ready to go and rest for a while.
Until my son called** and said with a crying voice: "Mom, how is Dad now?" Do I need surgery? ”
Only then did Zhang Lingyu realize that something was wrong.
She realized that she had locked the door, causing Sun Cheng to break a bone, and it was too much for him to leave the hospital without notifying her.
Hurried to the hospital, Sun Cheng had already put on a plaster cast and was receiving an infusion.
The eldest aunt's face was expressionless, her mother-in-law's eyes were full of dissatisfaction, and the first thing Sun Cheng said when he saw her was: "Let's divorce!" ”
Zhang Lingyu regarded this as a threat and did not take action, but as soon as the words came out, she took it seriously.
When getting married, what is expected of a man is nothing more than three things: good character, financial stability, and good to himself.
However, Sun Cheng couldn't do any of them, and he was so rash, this attitude was really unbearable.
She replied decisively: "You set a time, and we will go through the divorce procedures!" ”
The mother-in-law's dissatisfied expression gradually disappeared: "He's in a bad mood, don't be like him!" ”
The eldest sister also echoed: "What he said in a moment of anger, don't take it seriously!" ”
Sun Cheng's face showed a trace of remorse, although his expression was serious, his eyes had begun to soften.
Zhang Lingyu turned to leave, leaving only the back they saw.
