It’s different from Li Mu’s smile.
Teacher Zhou was much more ruthless. Different from the gentle way she usually interacted with Li Mu, she grabbed Zhou Yiheng's lips with one hand, and pulled Zhou Yiheng's hair at the temples with the other hand, pulling it up.
These two locations.
One is the most vulnerable part of the human body, and the other is exactly where it hurts the most.
Being so abused by his sister, Zhou Yiheng screamed "wuwuwu" from the corner of his mouth. After a while, he immediately raised his hands as if to beg for mercy.
"Li Mu, right?"
Probably already used to the way his son and daughter got along, Zhang Lan gave them a few words of instruction and let them go.
Turning his attention to Li Mu, he continued the topic just now. He saw Li Mu nodded in response, and then said with a smile, "Auntie, I am more direct, so we won't beat around the bush. When did you and my Xiaoyu know each other?"
?"
"Celebrate the New Year this year"
Li Mu replied softly.
"It's only been a few months!?"
Zhang Lan frowned and said, "You are living together in such a short period of time. Are you a little anxious?"
"Auntie"
Li Mu gave a bitter smile and said, "You misunderstood. Teacher Zhou and I are not like what Yi Heng said. We are still friends to this day. If it hadn't been a phone call from your son today, according to the agreement between Teacher Zhou and me, we should mutually communicate with each other."
After getting to know each other for a year, we will be together after one year when we feel that they are suitable for each other."
"Yeah"
Hearing this explanation, Zhang Lan nodded with satisfaction and said, "This is best. You are all adults and have your own sense of proportion in everything you do. As elders, we can only give you some opinions for your reference. The final choice still remains."
It’s in your own hands”
"How old are you this year?"
Zhou Shan put it on the tea cup and asked curiously, "I think you are about the same age as my Xiaoyu. Have you not met a suitable one at such an old age?"
"Divorced"
Li Mu thought about it and said seriously, "I am now raising my son alone."
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly became subtle.
Zhang Lan and Zhou Shan looked at each other, and they could see the disappointment in each other's eyes.
Divorced.
Take care of your son.
This is indeed a big problem.
After Li Mu told the truth, he had already anticipated that such a problem would arise.
In modern society, it is not easy for divorced women with sons to find a partner. Unless it is because they really can't find a partner, few people are willing to be someone else's stepfather.
Compared with stepfathers, there are even fewer people who like to be stepmothers, but some things are just like that. When he met Teacher Zhou, she divorced and took little Si Ning, and Li Mu also took Li Ran. This is an established fact.<
/p>
He said it directly because he didn't want to hide it from Mr. Zhou's parents.
If the two old men can accept it, he will be very happy.
If not, leave it to Teacher Zhou to negotiate with her parents.
After.
Teacher Zhou chooses to listen to her parents!? Or stubbornly persist!? It’s all up to her to decide.
Li Mu waited calmly. He did not choose to say such disgusting words as "I promise to be good to Teacher Zhou and love her and take care of her for the rest of my life."
As a man who has been divorced once.
He understood: "Fancy words are used to deceive people, and so-called oaths are just sensational expressions of overflowing emotions."
The promises you make will still fall into pieces once they collide with reality.
And words are just weak and powerless.
"Xiaoyu, do you know this?"
Zhang Lan turned her head and looked at her daughter.
"Of course I know, his son will come over every night to do homework with Si Nuan"
Teacher Zhou walked up behind her mother with a smile, put her arm around Zhang Lan's neck, and said, "Mom, you and dad, don't worry about this. Li Mu has a very good personality, not to mention we are not getting married right away. Why don't we get married right away?"
Do you have a year to get along? You are here to see me today. As for Li Mu, just treat it as a casual visit."
Speaking.
Teacher Zhou raised his eyebrows at Li Mu, as if to say, "Look! I helped you again."
Li Mu smiled slightly.
"Don't be too busy expressing your stance, aren't I just chatting with Li Mu!?"
Zhang Lan felt helpless towards his daughter, and then changed the topic to Li Mu and asked, "Where do you work now?"
"an advertising agency"
Li Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It seems that Teacher Zhou’s parents still respect their daughter’s opinion, otherwise there would be no need to ask the next question.
Since the problem of divorce and raising a son cannot be an obstacle, Li Mu feels that the remaining problems do not pose a threat.
"The salary in this industry should be very high, right!?"
Zhang Lan smiled and asked, "You must have saved a lot of money over the years?"
Li Mu was a little speechless for a moment.
He has been on a lot of blind dates, but he is asked this question every time, as if salary has become one of the standards for choosing a spouse in today's society.
"Mom, why are you asking this question?"
Teacher Zhou saw Li Mu looking embarrassed.
Suddenly I remembered something.
Li Mu seemed to have told her some time ago that Li Ran's mother ran away because her family owed hundreds of thousands of foreign debts, so when she saw Li Mu's expression now, she subconsciously thought that he had not paid off the foreign debts.
As for cars and houses, second-hand cars are very cheap now.
If the house is used as a provident fund loan, the down payment is not much at all.
As for why I did not choose to pay off the debt first, I may have considered the school district housing and employment issues that my children need to study.
"Don't talk"
Zhang Lan interrupted Teacher Zhou and turned to Li Mu and said, "Auntie, this question may be a bit too much, but Auntie also has her own considerations. You both have your own children. If you are lucky enough to be together in the future, you will definitely have one or two more.
That’s three or four children. How much does it cost to raise a child now? I don’t need aunt to tell you, you know it yourself. Of course, Xiaoyu’s father and I will definitely not stop you because of this matter. I just hope that you will
Think about it carefully. If you think you can afford it or don’t care about the quality of life, try to get along for a while. Do you understand what Auntie said?"
"I understand"
Li Mu said seriously.
"He is a good boy"
Zhang Lan nodded with satisfaction and said, "In that case, Auntie won't say anything else."
Six o'clock in the evening.
Li Mu plans to invite Teacher Zhou and his family to a restaurant for dinner.
But then he was stopped by Teacher Zhou on the grounds that "there are so many vegetables at home". While Li Mu was cooking in the kitchen, Teacher Zhou walked up to him and whispered, "Don't take my mother's words to heart" while tending the celery.
”
"Teacher Zhou"
Li Mu coated both sides of the small crucian carp with a layer of flour, fried it in a pan, and said softly, "Actually, I am very rich."
"How many?"
Teacher Zhou smiled narrowly and said, "Is it enough for 12 million?"
"That's not enough"
Li Mu was confused.
I always felt that there was something in Teacher Zhou's words, but her tone seemed to be teasing. Li Mu, who couldn't figure out the reason, asked softly, "Why don't you listen to your mother and still choose to get along with me?"
"Because..."
The corners of Teacher Zhou's mouth slightly curled up, and he slowly uttered two words.
"So"
