1.
The company was very lively before the Chinese New Year, but my mind couldn't fully devote myself to the festive atmosphere. Because the company has just officially announced my promotion, I am going to be sent to an overseas branch as a manager.
At the company's annual meeting, my manager Xu Jianhao, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a bald poop, stood on the stage and said to his colleagues with a regretful face
Lin Xiaoqing is a smart and capable girl who has always been the technical backbone of our company, but she misses her family and can't bear to let her husband and elderly mother-in-law stay at home, so she decided to give up this promotion opportunity.
His daughter Xu Chenxi is the existence of our company's stars, and her colleagues know that she is hard backstage and are willing to get close to her.
Xu Chenxi took my hand, her eyes were full of sympathy and sincerity
Don't worry, Xiaoqing, I will go to the overseas management branch for you, and you can take care of your family with peace of mind! ”
My mother-in-law, Chen Jiayi, took her little yellow dog and leisurely went on stage. She wiped her tears in front of her colleagues and said to me with a pitiful look
Xiaoqing, it's all your mother-in-law who dragged you down, you obviously have such a good opportunity, hey......”
Then she turned her face and said to the colleagues in the audience: "But our family is also living a good life now, I believe that Xiaoqing is so good, even if she doesn't go overseas, she will definitely have better development in the future!" Right, Xiaoqing? ”
Xu Jianhao, Xu Chenxi, and my mother-in-law all looked at me eagerly, making no secret of the longing in their eyes.
My head ached, and my ears rang like I was back in the same pain as I had in my previous life, before I died.
Seeing that I was slow to respond, my mother-in-law poked my shoulder with her finger:
Right, Xiaoqing? ”
Xu Jianhao continued to praise me in front of his colleagues:
Comrade Lin Xiaoqing is down-to-earth and hardworking, and has filial piety, her mother-in-law has such a daughter-in-law, and her life is complete! ”
Xu Chenxi couldn't wait to take out the waiver and pen, stuffed it into my hand, and then covered her face and cried:
Sign it quickly, Xiaoqing, I really envy you, you have your own family. It's not like me, I'm so old and haven't married ......”
But the corners of my eyes keenly caught the irrepressible smug smile under her hands.
Eventually, I came to my senses, took a deep breath, looked at my triumphant mother-in-law with a resolute look in my eyes, and smiled mockingly:
How is it possible, do I look so stupid? ”
My mother-in-law was stunned when she heard this, and after a long time, she asked me tremblingly
Xiaoqing. What did you say? You're not going to take care of us anymore? ”
I glanced at her and replied contemptuously:
What do you have to take care of with that rotten gambler. ”
Seeing this, the mother-in-law suddenly sat on the ground as if she had lost all her strength, crying:
Oh my God, I can't live this day! My daughter-in-law is not filial! I'm not alive anymore! ”
The more she cried, the more her colleagues glared at me. But I won't repeat the mistakes of my last life.
I took a deep breath, then shook my head firmly, picked up the microphone and said:
I chose my own future, and the promotion of the company was earned by my hard work and deserved, not to be manipulated by others and used as a victim of a tragic story. Even if I have to take care of my mother-in-law and husband, I will not give up this opportunity because of their willfulness. ”
My life will be in my own hands! ”
I was tough with everyone, and there was no room for negotiation.
Colleagues in the audience whispered. But for me now, all criticism is meaningless. In this life, I must no longer be at the mercy of anyone, and no one will be allowed to control my future.
Today, in my last life, my mother-in-law was the same, at the company's annual meeting, in front of everyone, she asked me to voluntarily give up the opportunity to become a manager in an overseas branch.
I hesitated, and my mother-in-law forced me to die, and finally I relented and gave up that once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
I originally thought that being willing to help my husband pay off his gambling debts and take care of the family was a contribution to the family, and I never complained.
I work hard at the company during the day and have to worry about housework at night.
However, in my mother-in-law's eyes, I was just a cash cow. In order to pay off my gambling debts for my uncompetitive husband Li Wenxuan, she only thinks about how to use me every day and make me a tool for making money.
What's even more outrageous is that in order to get money to help Li Wenxuan pay off his debts, she actually asked me to sleep with the manager, and also instigated her son to tell me that he would not dislike me.
I didn't want to, she secretly drugged me and stunned me, and my husband Li Wenxuan personally sent me to the bed of the dead fat man.
That night, I felt humiliated like never before, and in despair I wanted to kill myself to end it.
I struggled to jump off the balcony of his house, only to fall and break my leg.
Xu Jianhao was not satisfied with my performance, and angrily asked my mother-in-law to return the money. However, my mother-in-law and husband disappeared and left me alone in the hospital.
The only one who came to see me was Xu Chenxi.
She stared at me on the hospital bed, full of pride. She said slowly
Lin Xiaoqing, do you know? Your husband owes gambling debts that your family will never be able to pay in their lifetime. It was your mother-in-law who found me and begged me to help her figure it out. ”
But don't worry, money, I've asked my dad to help him back in private. But on the condition that you give up the position of overseas manager to me. As for sending you to my dad's bed, I arranged it single-handedly. But I really didn't expect you to be so stubborn that you would want to kill yourself. ”
Then she stomped on my injured leg and crushed it hard.
I endured the severe pain, gritted my teeth and asked her:
You for. What, and why? It's just a manager's position. Why.
She smiled contemptuously, then replied:
When you step on an ant, the ant asks you why, what will happen to you? ”
After Xu Chenxi left, I lay on that cold hospital bed and let time pass little by little.
My mother-in-law and husband transferred all the money in my card, and I couldn't even pay the medical bills, so I had to drag my broken leg home.
When I got home, I found out that they had already sold the house and ran away.
The sound of firecrackers to celebrate the New Year kept ringing in my ears, but I could only huddle in the corner and keep warm with the stray cats.
I knew my mother-in-law and husband wouldn't be coming back. The amount of gambling debts owed by Li Wenxuan was too large, and they finally had a chance to escape, and they would definitely not come back.
The New Year was cold and windy, but I no longer felt any pain.
Looking at the eager eyes of the colleagues in front of me, I knew that if I wanted to stay in this company, I had to act immediately to block the possible gossip in my home.
I smiled reluctantly, and in the face of them, I bowed deeply, and my tone was full of helplessness and bitterness:
If you're willing to hear me tell the whole story, you'll see why I'm doing it. ”
The people who eat melons push me and squeeze me, and they all want to squeeze to the front row to listen carefully. The most eager colleague even sneered: "Hurry up, we just want to see, Lin Xiaoqing, how do you quibble!" ”
It seems that these words have also become a clarion call for the shock wave to move forward, and many people echo it: "Let's listen, speak!" ”
At this time, I turned my head to look at Xu Chenxi, who stood awkwardly in place, unable to speak.
After all, she is the manager's daughter, and if I say it, it may be a little embarrassing for her.
I connected my phone to the big screen at the annual meeting, then cleared my throat and started to **in my phone**.
As you can see, this is my daily life, a small rental house where I and my family live. My husband is a gambler, he doesn't go to work with his hands and feet, and every day when he opens his eyes, he asks me for money, and then goes out to gamble, and our family is in debt because of him. ”
My mother-in-law, Chen Jiayi, a person who only dotes on her son, does not educate her son to quit gambling, only knows that she forces me to work to pay off my debts, I have to work for the family to earn money during the day, and I have to serve their mother and wife at night, and the burden of the family is all on me alone. ”
The audience listened to me quietly, and no one interjected at all.
All eyes suddenly focused on my mother-in-law. When my mother-in-law saw that the situation was not good, she immediately started to perform in tears
Xiaoqing, your husband and family need you, what would we do without you? The gambling debts and family expenses are all up to you. Please, don't push us into the corner! ”
watched her act with tears in her eyes, but I knew in my heart that this was her words out of helplessness rather than sincerity.
I can't help it, I can only try to make my voice sound filled with tears in it:
Mother-in-law, you knew that your son loved gambling and owed a lot of money, why did you urge us to get married without telling me about the situation at home? ”
Their family took a fancy to my dowry and tricked me into getting married, and my question poked at her pain point, and she shook off my hand angrily:
You know! Your husband said that he loves you, that you love him too, that you really love each other, in order to make your marriage smoother, I won't say it, is this the only thing you love him? ”
I asked rhetorically with a complicated expression
In the past five years, whether it is the dowry, the money subsidized by my mother's family, or my salary, all of them have been used to pay off his gambling debts, but what is the use of this? He owes more and more debts, who can pay him so much? ”
Chen Jiayi was still struggling with anger and despair, and her voice became hoarse
Isn't there still you! You are the hope of our family, you can't go to an overseas branch to be a manager, you have to hold up this day at home, and when our family gets through this difficulty, he will definitely be grateful to you and repay you! ”
I pretend to be aggrieved:
But I'm also your family, and if I have the opportunity to be promoted, I'll be filial to you.
Hum! Chen Jiayi sneered and said
You.
