Chapter 59. Twenty-three years old confession(1/3)
After the movie ended, Meng Yuning drove Xuezhu home.
The man answered a phone call in the middle.
Xuezhu thought it was another job call, so she didn't bother him. She edited her circle of friends on her mobile phone and wrote a bunch of movie reviews.
In the past, He Zhengyue also loved writing this kind of text. When Xuezhu was still young, she thought that her sister's words looked particularly pretentious.
There is no need to teach you how wonderful the time you are experiencing is to the young children.
When the children grow up, time will teach them this principle, and they will naturally understand it.
While polishing the writing style of optimizing the review, Meng Yuning's voice suddenly became quiet: "A lawyer who specializes in divorce lawsuits?"
Xuezhu turned her head to look at him instantly.
Not a job?
Meng Yuning noticed her gaze and said softly: "If Sister Zhengyue needs it, I will arrange it for her."
Xuezhu opened her eyes wide.
After a few short sentences, Meng Yuning hung up the phone.
Xuezhu asked directly: "What's wrong with sister? Who called you just now?"
Meng Yuning: "Zihan called me and my sister is going to get a divorce."
He Zhengyue wants to find the best divorce lawyer in Shanghai.
Although Meng Yuning has only been in Shanghai for a year and a half, the class contacts he has come into contact with are far stronger than He Zhengyue.
Xuezhu didn't react for a while, and stuttered in a tone: "Why... I'm going to get divorced suddenly? Has she and her brother-in-law already had a fight to this point?"
It was obviously fine before returning to Shanghai.
Although she would complain about her brother-in-law, the happiness on her face would not deceive people whenever she talked about her two daughters.
Meng Yuning was not surprised.
In 18, he was transferred to Shanghai to work. Because He Zhengyue had to take care of her children at home, he couldn't get out of touch, so he bought some gifts to visit her that day.
He Zhengyue was very happy at that time and held two children and taught them to call her uncle.
Later, the two children suddenly started crying. Meng Yuning, an unmarried man, had never taken care of the child and had no idea what to do. He Zhengyue asked him to sit and leave it alone, and she would just come.
Taking care of a child is already a headache. Double crying and noisy make He Zhengyue's movements look tired and hastily.
At this time, her mother-in-law came home. Just after playing mahjong, she murmured in dialect to complain about the thief-like old ladies and card friends.
After seeing Meng Yuning, my mother-in-law's expression changed instantly.
At first I thought it was my son Yi Zhengpeng’s friend, but Meng Yuning introduced himself and found out that he was his daughter-in-law’s younger brother.
The crying sounds in the baby's room have not stopped. Meng Yuning is a little worried about whether his sister can take care of the two children alone, but her mother-in-law always pulls him to chat on the sofa, asking about her academic qualifications, work, and relationship status.
Meng Yuning frowned slightly and reminded the aunt whether to go in and see her sister and children.
But my mother-in-law waved her hand casually.
It's okay, Zhengyue can handle it alone, and the nanny is not as good as hers. It's a waste of money to hire a nanny in our family.
Meng Yuning covered her impatient eyes and persuaded her to her aunt with a gentle voice that her sister would not be able to take care of the child alone.
Can be eaten, can be eaten.
When the twins were just born, the doctor said that the doctor would not have enough milk for Zhengyue. When I heard that, it was okay. Children will only have a future if they eat breast milk. Will this milk come out if they add more nutrition? These two children are one year old, so she is fine.
Your sister is not as fragile as you think. Sometimes she needs to pussy. Otherwise, will her biological mother do nothing after giving birth? Do you just lie in bed and enjoy a happy life every day?
I was even more miserable than her back then, but now I should still play cards and enjoy happiness. When the zheng month reaches my age, I will naturally enjoy happiness.
He Zhengyue's mother-in-law said a lot, but Meng Yuning didn't listen to a word.
When she learned that Meng Yuning had returned from the UK to Shanghai to report her job, her mother-in-law immediately sighed enviously.
Just as He Zhengyue finally comforted the child, she walked out of the baby's room with her steps.
Zhengyue, you see, boys are prone to promising, so I said, don’t argue with your mother, your job is not bad, but what’s the use? No matter how hard a woman strives, it’s impossible to be better than a man. Zhengpeng is now in the rising period, and his boss trusts him. You quit your job and take good care of your children at home, so you don’t have to worry about food and clothing. With Zhengpeng making money outside, isn’t it better to be a virtuous assistant than you go to work every day?
Although you have given birth to two, Zitong and Zizhen are both girls. If the girl gets married in the future, she will be from the husband's family. Mom is not unaware that having children is hard. You even grit your teeth and give birth to twins. Are you still afraid of having another child? Letting you have another son is also for the sake of you and Zhengpeng's future retirement.
In this way, the mother-in-law persuaded her daughter-in-law again in front of Meng Yuning.
He Zhengyue's face turned cold and said lightly, Mom, my brother came to see me today. I am in a good mood and don't want to argue with you, so please say less.
My mother-in-law was angry, Zhengyue, I would like to speak angrily to you. That’s how you talk to my mother-in-law?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did not quarrel because there was a guest.
When Meng Yuning left, He Zhengyue took him to the parking lot.
It is difficult for a clean official to make a decision on family matters, and Meng Yuning, who is at the top of the industry, doesn’t know what to say.
He was worried about He Zhengyue, but He Zhengyue just smiled and said that she still wanted to wait for Yi Zhengpeng to come back and the couple had a good talk.
She loves her husband very much and her two daughters very much. The incident of getting pregnant and having children interrupted her career, but every time she saw her two children smiling with those clean eyes, or she was learning to call her mother, He Zhengyue didn't regret giving birth to them.
Therefore, even if she is getting further and further away from her workplace dream and her depression and anxiety are extremely depressed and anxious, she is still willing to wait.
Maybe things will get better.
Until Zhong Zihan just called Meng Yuning.
After Yi Zhengpeng learned that He Zhengyue wanted to divorce her, he hurried back.
But it was useless. The wife and her mother were quarreling. The wife calmly stated everything she had done and sacrificed for the family over the past two years and proposed a divorce. The mother shouted and insulted her wife and relied on her college and getting a diploma and said that the contributions women should make to this family were sacrifices and grievances.
And what about the husband.
He rushed back from abroad, covered in dust and struggled for his career, but his family was quarreled like this.
It made him feel upset and sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, cigarettes one after another, never saying a word.
Finally, He Zhengyue chose to leave.
Yi Zhengpeng chased her downstairs and asked her if she really decided to get a divorce.
"Zhengyue, we started dating since our sophomore year. It's been thirteen years. You filed for divorce when I was in the middle of my worries. Do you take my husband to heart?"
He Zhengyue's eyes were wet: "Why didn't I take you to heart? It's because I love you, so when I first came to Shanghai, I felt happy to have two people slept in a single room of more than ten square meters. I didn't feel it was hard to commute for one and a half hours every day. When you went on a business trip, the showerhead at home broke. In order to save dozens of yuan in repairs, I was soaked all over and sat on the toilet and cried. When you called me, I suddenly felt that it was not cold at all."
In the two years after graduation, He Zhengyue learned a lot. She learned to distinguish the quality of second-hand market furniture and speak Shanghainese dialect. In this way, she could avoid being slaughtered when she went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables with her aunts, and learned how to argue with the stingy landlord couple.
The shower was broken, and she tried to repair it, but she was covered in cold water. The weather in Shanghai was so wet and cold. The cold water was poured into her sweater, her hair was wet and stuck to her forehead. He Zhengyue was so cold that she shivered. She knew that if she didn't change her clothes, she might be late to work tomorrow, but she still sat on the toilet like a wood, staring at the yellowed wall tiles in a daze.
The collapse of adults has always been silent.
He Zhengyue smiled bitterly twice, and as she smiled, the corners of her eyes became hot, and tears slid down from her eyelids.
The tears flowed less and less.
Finally, he burst into tears in the four-square-meter bathroom and cried like a child.
After crying, she wiped her tears, took two tablets of melatonin and forced herself to fall asleep. Then the next day she used concealer to cover the dark circles under her eyes, then applied cold water to wet her swollen eyelids, cheered up and went to work, and continued to work hard for the performance this month.
Because of Yi Zhengpeng, she took it over.
She thought that after enduring the hardship, her life would be sweet.
"Your mother told me that I had to have a son after marriage. I said that this is not something I can control. It depends on the will of a man or a woman. You said it doesn't matter if you have a daughter, you will still love her. You will convince your mother to give birth to one child and let me continue working after I recover. Later, I gave birth to Zitong and Zizhen. Your mother said, it's a pity that it's a pair of daughters. If it's a pair of twins, it's perfect. Do you know how painful it is to have twins? I endured double the pain and gave birth to a child, and I only got a pity from your mother. Yi Zhengpeng, what I regret the most is because I love you, so when I got married, I blindly believed in you and your parents. I thought marriage was just a matter between the two of us. You just love me and I love you, it's me that I'm naive."
He Zhengyue's series of calm accusations finally made the man in front of him red.
Yi Zhengpeng said hoarsely: "I'm sorry, but Zhengyue, divorce is not good for you and me now. Your work and life are here. After leaving Shanghai, everything will start from scratch. Our house, car, and shared property, and the right to support children. These are not something you can tell by divorce. I am really busy now and will fly back the day after tomorrow to continue handling the work. At least you can give me some time, okay?"
He Zhengyue laughed.
"Yi Zhengpeng, I tell you about divorce. The first thing you think of is that our common property is difficult to divide? Then don't delay your work? Why do you want me to quit? Only you men can not go home for half a year for work? I have to wait at home for you to finish your work before looking at me with a look?"
She didn't want to talk much, so she turned around and left.
Yi Zhengpeng pulled her and put down his posture to keep him: "Zhengyue, I really love you."
He Zhengyue: "I know."
He wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhong Zihan, who was downstairs in the community.
"Brother-in-law, if your love is to make my sister sacrifice, compromise, and endure for you, make her depressed and anxious, and even give up her career pursuit, what is the difference between your love and hate?"
Yi Zhengpeng stood there blankly.
He couldn't say a word to refute.
Zhong Zihan took He Zhengyue into the car, and finally looked at the man with a dull lips and a look of regret and guilt. He started the car and left the community.
The car was driving on the road, and He Zhengyue sat in the back row to wipe her tears.
"Zihan, please help me contact Ningning. He has a wider connection than me, and it is more convenient to find a lawyer. Since Yi Zhengpeng wants to calculate the common property with me, I will calculate it clearly with him. I don't want to leave a penny of my money for him and his mother."
"good."
Zhong Zihan looked at her from the rearview mirror. She had just cried. Maybe she was tired of crying and was not energetic. She hugged in the seat and sighed with her eyes closed.
The man opened his eyes with distress.
