Zheng Xiumin is 58 years old and has a pension of 2,300 per month.
The second married wife is 63 years old and has a pension of 3,500 per month.
On this day, she went home from grocery shopping, Lao Qian lay on the sofa, and said: Lao Zheng, why did you buy vegetables for so long, I wanted to go out, but why didn't you wash your clothes yesterday, my favorite coat is a little dirty.
Zheng Xiumin glanced at him and said: You can wash it yourself, you have hands and feet, and you can't wash clothes.
Lao Qian stood up, looked at the vegetables she bought, and said: Lao Zheng, what's the matter with you, look at the meat you bought, it is not fresh at first glance, why didn't the cabbage peel off the outer layer, hey, I said you, will you live?
And he said, "Oh, by the way, what did you just say, let me do the laundry?" Have you forgotten that we said before we got married, the light work at home is yours, and the heavy work belongs to me, and you want to be Laipi now?
Lao Zheng put down the meat and vegetables he bought, and said: Old Qian, then tell me, which jobs are you doing, you either go out to play cards every day, or lie on the sofa and call, do you do a little work a day?
Lao Qian looked at her and smiled, and said: Haha, Lao Zheng, you can't blame me, you also saw it, there is no heavy work for me to do at home, I can't help it, don't you say?
Zheng Xiumin drank a sip of water, feeling really tired, she now understands that she has been deceived.
Lao Qian saw that she was in a bad mood, and ignored her, and said: Lao Zheng, did you forget to transfer money to me, your rent is 750, plus our AA food expenses, you can give me a total of 1500.
Zheng Xiumin was really a little angry, and said: Old money, don't be too much, I married you, not to spend my own money, but to serve you.
Lao Qian looked at her and said: Lao Zheng, it's not right for you to say that, think about it, before you divorced me, your monthly rent was 1,400, plus miscellaneous at least 2,000 a month, and your own pension was not enough.
But you see, after we got married, I only charged you 1500, and you can save hundreds, plus the money you have to buy vegetables, you can save a lot a month.
Lao Zheng, be content, don't you say?
Lao Zheng smiled and said: Hehe, you are right, I understand, you did everything possible to trick me into getting married, just to find a nanny who didn't cost you a penny.
Old Qian, do you think I don't dare to leave you, I do laundry, cook, clean up the house all day long, and give you rent and living expenses, so what do I want to marry you.
Lao Qian: Lao Zheng, you can't say that, when we get married, don't we just want to have a cold and fever, there can be someone around us to bring a medicine and hand over a water, to put it bluntly, we just want to find a partner, but we can't be involved in money, right?
Zheng Xiumin didn't speak again, stood up and went to the kitchen, and the laughter of Lao Qian came from behind him.
Today she wants to eat dumplings, bought hind leg meat and cabbage, took out the meat and chopped it on the board, she doesn't like ground meat filling, every time she chops meat and chops vegetables, so that the dumplings mixed with stuffing are delicious.
The dumplings for the two of them were wrapped quickly, and she took them out and put them on the table, and she didn't shout for old money, so she ate them silently.
After eating a dumpling, it still has the taste she likes, Lao Zheng feels that she is really good, this dumpling is better than the ones bought outside.
After eating, she quickly washed the dishes and chopsticks and went back to the house alone.
Zheng Xiumin took out her mobile phone, thought about it, called Zhao Rong, and said: Sister Zhao, how is your nanny doing?
Zhao Rong smiled and said: Xiumin, I'm fine now, I only take care of two old people, cook for them every day, clean up, and walk with them, and I'm not very tired.
She paused and said, "Sister Zhao, I also want to come out to be a nanny, can you introduce me to one."
Zhao Rong asked worriedly: Xiumin, what's wrong with you? Didn't you find a wife, did you have a bad time?
Zheng Xiumin smiled bitterly and said: Sister, I feel that I have been deceived, I am not looking for a wife, I am someone else as a paid nanny.
Zhao Rong asked puzzled: Paid nanny? You make it clear.
Zheng Xiumin let out a breath and said: Sister Zhao, you also know in my previous days, I used to live with my son's family, but after my youngest grandson went to kindergarten, my daughter-in-law was not happy that I continued to live, and quarreled with Yanyan every day, and the two divorced.
I thought about it and felt that I was not too old, and although the pension was not high, it was no problem to support myself.
I rented a house, the rent was 1400 per month, plus my own food and drink, and a month's pension was enough to spend.
Hey, one day it was raining, and when I went to buy groceries and came back, I accidentally fell and broke my foot, and Lao Qian happened to pass by and sent me to the nearest hospital.
After the doctor's examination, there was nothing serious, and I was prescribed the medicine to go home and spray it myself.
Lao Qian is very enthusiastic, he must send me home, and he added my WeChat when he left, which made me uncomfortable and called him **.
At that time, I thought he was good, and I talked to him occasionally, and he was very fond of playing cards, and often told me stories about those card friends, which I found very interesting.
Later, when it came to the winter solstice, although I lived alone, I still went to buy vegetables and planned to make dumplings.
Lao Qian sent another message, a crying expression, I asked him what was wrong?
He said very depressedly that the players eat dumplings at home, and he is a lonely person, and he doesn't want to eat dumplings outside at all.
I thought at the time, when he took me to the hospital, I didn't invite anyone to eat to thank me, and today happened to make dumplings by myself and let him come to my house for dinner, which can be regarded as thanking him for his help this time.
Lao Qian was very excited when he heard it, saying that he hadn't eaten his own dumplings for a long time, and said that he liked cabbage and pork stuffing the most, and I was a little happy to hear it.
When he came to the house that day, he bought braised beef, sauce bones, and some braised vegetables, and I served dumplings, and we ate together.
Lao Qian ate a dumpling, sniffed, and said: I'm so happy today, since my wife died, I haven't been so happy as today.
Hey, Xiumin, to be honest, it's not that I want to go out and find someone to play cards, it's really that I'm lonely at home, and there is no one to talk to.
It's even more uncomfortable when eating, make it yourself, there are often a lot left, don't do it, and don't want to eat in a restaurant every day.
Hey, it's too hard for people to reach our age.
I was also very touched when I heard it, seeing him so sad, thinking that he was still a loving and righteous person.
I think I often feel this way, especially in the days when my foot is broken, it is inconvenient for me to do anything alone, and sometimes I want someone to help.
My brain was hot and I said: Old Qian, it's okay, you don't want to eat out anymore, just tell me, I'll cook and we'll eat together.
After that, he often came to my house for dinner, and every time he would not be empty-handed, either to buy food or fruit.
Once he also bought a box of strawberries, and I blamed him, thinking that strawberries were too expensive, and that big box cost 68 yuan.
He smiled and said: Xiumin, most of our lives have passed, and we have worked hard, thinking about this and that, but we haven't thought about ourselves well.
Now that the child has a home, we should also feel sorry for ourselves, this strawberry is very delicious, you can taste it.
In fact, I know that Lao Qian's pension is not high, but seeing that he is so willing to spend money, I am also a little happy in my heart.
Slowly, we were together a lot, and he knew that my house was rented, and the rent would cost most of the income, which was not cost-effective.
I cooked beef hot pot that day, and he bought me a mobile phone with more than 1,000 yuan, which I thought was too expensive and resolutely refused to accept it.
Lao Qian said: Xiumin, don't be in a hurry to refuse, I came today in addition to dinner, and I have something to discuss with you.
Xiumin, we've known each other for a while, and we're familiar with each other's situations, so I just want to ask, can we live together?
Xiumin, my son lives in a foreign country, I am the only one here, he works very well by himself, I don't need to worry about it anymore, and he has been persuading me to let me find another wife.
Xiumin, I think you are very good, your own life is too tight, when we get married, you quit the house, you can leave 1400, the family's expenses are with me, and you can save your own money.
Xiumin, don't worry, if you agree, the heavy work in the family after marriage is mine, you just do something light.
We buy groceries and walk together every day, watch TV and chat together, you are not feeling well, and I am by my side to take care of you, you think about it, is it much better than you and me are lonely.
The life he depicted was so good that I was very moved when I heard it, and after leaving my son's house, I often felt that the house was too lonely, and I thought that there would be someone to eat with, and the food would be more delicious.
I was actually a little hesitant, I didn't know what Yan Yan would think, so I told him to let me think about it.
That night, I called Yanyan**, but it was my daughter-in-law who picked up**, and she said impatiently: Mom, what's the matter with you so late? He took the two children to do their homework, and you have something to tell me.
I was very sad to hear it, I didn't say anything, and after hanging up **, I thought that my son didn't need me anymore, so I was in charge of my own affairs.
I sent a message to Lao Qian and said that I agreed, and he was very happy and asked me to take the household registration book the next day, and we registered our marriage.
I'm a little conflicted, I think I'm at this age, what do I need a marriage certificate for, it's better to live together, and there is not so much trouble.
Lao Qian was unwilling, he said seriously: Xiumin, it's not right for you to think so, I am serious about you, and I will definitely be responsible for your future life.
Xiumin, think about it, I'm older than you, if one day I and you go first, if we get married, you can continue to live in my house, but if you don't get married, my son drives you away, you can't do anything.
I listened to it and felt that others were really good, and everything came to mind for me, and it was better to have such a person to live with, thinking that it must be better than being alone.
Lao Qian and I each bought a new set of clothes, bought some candy, and registered our marriage.
I quit the house and moved my things to his house, feeling that I also had a home and a future to rely on.
Hehe, I never dreamed that a week after getting married, he wanted to change as a different person, which was completely different from what he said at the beginning.
That day, he said that he wanted to eat Kang lamb chops, I got up early to go to the morning market, bought three catties of the freshest lamb chops, and when I went home, I said: Old money, this meat cost 105 yuan, you send it to me.
He calmed his face and said: Lao Zheng, come over for a while, I have something to discuss with you.
I spent all the money to buy vegetables that week after we got married, but he was either lamb chops or pig's trotters, and I couldn't afford it, so I asked him for money, I thought it was normal, and I didn't think much about it at all.
Seeing that his face was not good, I thought something was wrong, and after sitting down, I listened to her say: Lao Zheng, I thought about it for a while, and we have to negotiate again.
I was a little weird, I didn't understand what he meant, and I didn't say anything.
He said: Lao Zheng, I calculated, in the future, you will give me a monthly rent of 750, which is bigger than the house you rented, and I only charged more than half of your original rent, you should have no opinion.
Also, although we are old, we can't be old-fashioned in our thinking, we also learn from young people, and the cost of living is AA, what do you think?
I was shocked at the time, and subconsciously said: Old Qian, you didn't say that before marriage, it's only been a few days, and you have changed your mind.
He smiled and said: Lao Zheng, we are already married, you can't just get married, just get divorced, then let others think, you are not drowned with spittle.
Besides, you're all this age, and you're not a little girl, so it's not appropriate for me to be raised by an old man.
I was very angry, but he was right, I just got married, I really don't have the courage to divorce, and besides, the house has been withdrawn, and I can't find a suitable one for a while, not to mention that it costs 5,000 deposits to re-rent a house, and I don't have so much money in my hands.
I had a fight with him, but it didn't work, and I finally compromised.
What happened after that was even more frustrating, he didn't do any work at home.
I have to do laundry, clean, buy groceries and cook every day, even though it is just one more person, but I have a lot more life, and I am much busier than when I am alone.
Hehe, I never thought that I was so old that I could still be deceived, I didn't have the face to tell anyone, I could only be a ninja myself.
Speaking of this, Zheng Xiumin couldn't help but sniff and said: Sister Zhao, why do you say this is happening, why do you want me to encounter this kind of thing?
Zhao Rong was very angry after hearing this, she said: Xiumin, this is someone bullying you to be honest, if you are a nanny, you don't take the nanny's salary, not to mention, you still have to give him living expenses, why?
Xiumin, tell me what kind of life you have been living here, you have persisted for so long, what are you trying to do.
Zheng Xiumin said bitterly: Sister Zhao, I have figured it out, there is really no way to live this day, not to mention that I am tired, and I am afraid that if I continue like this, I will get sick.
Sister Zhao, you can help me, introduce me to a job, I want to be a live-in nanny, you know, I don't have a place to live.
Sister Zhao felt that she was really pitiful, and said: I know, I'll ask you now, you can wait for my news.
Put down**, she feels a lot more comfortable, since Lao Qian doesn't want to live a good life, then don't blame her, anyway, she doesn't want to live like this.
Lao Qian didn't know this, he said to Lao Hu a little complacently: Haha, envy me, there are people doing the work at home, I don't have to bother at all, but it's much better than you hiring a nanny.
Lao Hu frowned and said: Old Qian, I know that you are good at calculating, but what have you gained after calculating all your life.
I think your wife is a good woman, you better cherish it, don't end up killing yourself, it's useless to regret it.
Lao Qian laughed and said: Lao Hu, I just think you are jealous, in fact, I think you can learn from me, people are old, and they don't have a house of their own, such a woman is the most insecure, and it is best to take it.
Lao Hu, I can tell you all the tricks, you can also try.
Lao Hu shook his head and said: I don't need it, I just want to live in peace, my nanny's salary is given by my son, I don't need to bother, my salary is more than enough for the family.
Lao Qian: Hmph, I think you're just an old fool, I can't afford to find a woman to take care of you, and I'm still stubborn.
After Zheng Xiumin asked Sister Zhao, she also asked everywhere if there was a job that suited her, and at the same time sorted out her own things, thinking that she could leave with her bag at any time.
After another two weeks, she was washing clothes, and Sister Zhao called** and said: Xiumin, I found you a home, do you think it is suitable.
Sister Zhao: Xiumin, you have to take care of two children in this family, the eldest is only 15 years old, the younger is 12 years old, their mother is gone, and the father was sent abroad by the company, trying to find a reliable person to take care of the two children.
Xiumin, I thought you were a good person, and these two children were also pitiful, so I wanted to ask you.
Zheng Xiumin asked with some concern: Sister Zhao, I'm not worried about the rest, I'm afraid that I won't get along well with the two children, and children of this age have their own thoughts.
Sister Zhao: Don't worry, those two children are very polite, and they get along very happily with the last nanny, and the nanny's daughter-in-law gave birth to a child, so she can't quit her job and leave.
Zheng Xiumin: Sister Zhao, can I meet them? Hey, Sister Zhao, do you say I'm particularly useless, I'm a little afraid.
Sister Zhao: Definitely, they also want to meet you, otherwise they won't be at ease.
After the two made an appointment, Zheng Xiumin was a little excited and a little worried, and she also had mixed feelings in her heart.
When it came to the appointed time, Xiumin got up very early and changed several buses to get to the house, the two children were older girls and younger boys, although they looked a little untalkative, but they were very polite.
Their father came back from leave, and he heard that he had met several nannies, and they all felt that it was not suitable, and he was a little anxious.
After seeing Zheng Xiumin, the male owner simply asked a few questions, and after asking the opinions of the two children, he settled on the spot, which made her a little excited.
The man said: Aunt Zheng, my two children will ask you, if they are disobedient, or if there is anything, you can call me in time.
Zheng Xiumin: Okay, I think the two children have been taught very well, and I think we can definitely get along well.
After discussing it, she started to work the next day, because she had a big responsibility, and gave her a salary of 8,000 per month, which surprised Zheng Xiumin.
When she left home, Lao Qian was not there, so she called her at noon and asked angrily: Lao Zheng, what about you, why haven't you cooked yet? Didn't wash your clothes?
Zheng Xiumin: I got a job and won't go home, so you can cook and do your own laundry in the future.
By the way, I'm very busy, don't call me ** if you have nothing to do, don't call me ** if you have something, I have nothing to do with you.
Lao Qian was a little dumbfounded, seeing that the things she usually used were not there, only to know that what she said was true.
He kicked the sink in annoyance, didn't see any water on the floor, and fell straight to the bathroom.
Lao Qian fell to the ground, his waist bone hurt very much, and he couldn't stand up at all, he was very angry, and cursed Zheng Xiumin loudly, feeling that it was all her fault, and she had caused him to be like this.
He originally thought it would be good to slow down a little, but after he scolded alone for a while, he still couldn't get up, so he panicked and called Zheng Xiumin **.
*I've been on the phone, I can't get through at all, and he almost fell in anger **, but fortunately, he still has his senses, so he asked the neighbor to help him call 120, and the house key is under the mat at the door.
After Lao Qian was sent to the hospital, it turned out to be a comminuted fracture of the waist bone and had to be operated.
He begged the doctor to call Zheng Xiumin **, and after connecting, he told him about his situation, he thought that she would come to take care of himself soon, but he didn't expect her to say: Oh, you call his son **, I'm still busy.
* has hung up, Lao Qian only then understands that Zheng Xiumin really doesn't care about him, he is lying on the hospital bed, thinking that he is about to enter the operating room, no one is waiting for him, and he can't help crying anymore.
The doctor didn't hesitate and said, "Hurry up and contact your son, the family still needs to sign for the operation."
Lao Qian didn't give up, and used the doctor's mobile phone to call Lao Zheng, and cried after connecting: Lao Zheng, I know I was wrong, you forgive me, I will definitely be good to you in the future.
Lao Zheng, I can't move now, and I have to have surgery, I can't live without you.
Lao Zheng, I beg you, come to the hospital quickly, I need to sign for the operation.
Zheng Xiumin listened patiently and said: Hehe, you can't move when you are hospitalized, and you think of me again, it's really calculating, it's not enough to want me to be a nanny, but also to let me be a nurse, hehe, you are really amazing.
Old money, it's all like this, let's contact your son quickly, I advise you, the body is your own, you still don't think about playing tricks.
Zheng Xiumin hung up directly, she wouldn't serve him, his kind of person is selfish, she still plans more for herself, takes good care of her two children, and earns more money is serious.
She thought that the children said that they wanted to eat ribs and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and the man was there, and she had to go grocery shopping early and cook a good dinner.
When she stewed ribs in the kitchen, she smelled the familiar fragrance and felt very calm, this is her new life, and she must work harder.
Written at the end: Zheng Xiumin did the right thing, a calculated second marriage, noIt is worth her to continue to pay and find a way out for herself is the most correct choice.
Romain Rolland once said: In marriage, everyone has to give, and at the same time have to get something back, which is the law of supply and demand.
No matter what age you are, a marriage that only pays is not destined to last long.
Zheng Xiumin did the right thing, what do you think, welcome to comment!
