We should be close but we are not husband and wife

A few days ago, a family named Wang moved next to Mrs. Liu's yard. The couple and their son rented here temporarily. It seemed that they were following someone from the clan who came to the capital to do business and stayed there for a year and a half.

Yes, I still have to go back to my hometown.

The family does not seem to be rich, but in daily life, money is quite comfortable.

Mrs. Wang is in her thirties, average-looking, and cheerful. She has tidied up the house and walked around with her neighbors. She gave a box of snacks decently, had a laugh, and hopes that everyone can help me if I need help.

Mrs. Wang walked around her neighbor's house and found that she could only talk to Mrs. Liu next door, so she started walking around more often.

Mrs. Liu has been very happy to organize her daughter's dowry in recent days. Considering the future life of her family, she has been unable to make up her mind to leave the shop in Nancheng.

But this matter can't be delayed for too long, so I feel depressed every day.

The new neighbor, Mrs. Wang, comes to chat and laugh almost every day, which relieves her depression a lot.

Moreover, Mrs. Wang is very delicious. Whenever she comes back, she always brings some snacks, fruits, melon seeds and peanuts. Mrs. Liu only prepares some tea, and the two of them eat and drink together, and then they talk about Zhang's family, Li's family, two foxes and three

Talking nonsense...

Mrs. Liu is in a much better mood and even looks much better.

But in the past two days, for some reason, Mrs. Wang has been silent. Thinking about it, she hasn't come to the door for a few days.

Mrs. Liu was a little strange. She was afraid that something was going on at home, so she asked the little girl next to her to ask. As a result, the little girl came back and said that no one answered the door, but it was clear that there was someone in the house in the courtyard.

When she came back, Mrs. Liu became even more worried and went to knock on the door herself.

After a while, the maid inside came to open the door. Normally, she smiled and greeted her when she saw her, but today she was also calm.

"Is your wife here?" Mrs. Liu asked gently.

"What's the matter with you?" The maid looked unhappy.

Mrs. Liu was a little embarrassed, "Oh, it's nothing. I just haven't seen her for a few days... Let's take a look."

The maid frowned and was about to speak when someone inside asked, "Magpie, who is knocking on the door?"

"Madam, it's Mrs. Liu next door."

There was no sound inside, and Mrs. Liu was anxious and said quickly, "Sister Wang, let me check on you."

After another pause, someone inside said, "Come in!" But the voice was not enthusiastic either.

Mrs. Liu entered the door anxiously. In the main room, the lady was sitting on a chair, embroidering something. When she came, she did not stand up.

He looked her over and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I haven't seen you for a few days. I was afraid something might happen to you, so I came to see you."

"Oh, I came here to have a look!" He was empty-handed, but he really came to "see" it.

Mrs. Liu's face turned red. "I'm sorry, I... I don't know... I asked Xia'er to ask. She said there was someone in your house and courtyard, but she didn't answer the door. I didn't know what happened. When I was anxious, I asked

Here you go...don't be surprised."

"Blame? How dare I blame you? Just sit down." Mrs. Wang felt a little weird.

Mrs. Liu sat down confused. If she had to tell the truth, she might have turned around and left. But now, it is not easy for her to have such a person who can often talk to her. Mrs. Wang has been very kind to her since they met. She really doesn't want to

So lost.

"Mrs. Wang...did I do something imprudent somewhere, or did I say something you didn't like to hear?"

she asked carefully.

Mrs. Wang snorted, turned away, and remained silent.

Mrs. Liu added, "If you are unhappy, let's talk it over. If my sister is not good, I must apologize to you. Don't keep silent!"

Mrs. Wang snorted again, then glanced at her, and then said, "Mrs. Liu, my family is only living here temporarily. I have met you. I feel that Mrs. Liu is much better than the ordinary people around you, so I am willing to walk with you. My family

It’s not a rich family, but I’m not stingy when I go to your house. I came to your house to drink tea and chat. I see that your family is not very wealthy, so I don’t have time to interfere!”

Mrs. Liu blushed again after hearing this, "My family is having a hard time, so I'm neglecting you."

Mrs. Wang straightened up and raised her eyes, "You still say that!? If life is really hard, I won't dislike it. But your family is obviously so rich, why do you still get along with me like this? I feel so ridiculous.

You are so generous!!"

Mrs. Wang had a mocking look on her face.

Mrs. Liu was puzzled, "Sister...my family is rich? In my days, you could see it in your eyes. It is said that people are poor but have short ambitions! I know that my sister is generous and treats me well...but I really can't give you anything in return."

Mrs. Wang said, "People are poor but have short ambitions. Who do you think you are talking about? I am a rich man, and my husband is in Deyilou, and I only dare to eat noodles for one tael of silver. But your husband always goes to the private room to treat guests... Haha

, I feel so sorry for you, you still live in such a shabby place! What do you think?! I like to be an invisible rich man!"

Mrs. Liu said in surprise, "What? What is Deyilou? Why can't I understand?"

Mrs. Wang said, "You still don't understand? Deyilou is one of the most high-end restaurants in Beijing. A bowl of noodles with two side dishes costs one or two silver dollars. My husband is picky and it takes a long time to eat there. Two days ago.

, I saw your husband right there. Okay! I took the guests directly to the private room on the second floor. My husband said that if you enter the private room, you can’t get out without two hundred taels of silver!"

Mrs. Liu laughed when she heard this, "That's impossible. My husband won't go to that kind of restaurant..."

Mrs. Wang said, "That's because my husband is blind! I just walked past him. How could I see it wrong? I saw it wrong. Why can't I find out if I ask the clerk? The clerk said, Boss Liu, is your husband! Where is it?"

A regular customer!”

Mrs. Liu said, "How could this happen? Is it...his boss was treating guests and he went to wait on them?"

"Wait for me..." Mrs. Wang held back from uttering curse words, "My husband asked. Your husband, the business is so big! Every time we go back to Deyilou, the steward has to take him in. Even if he is not the owner, he is the boss.

The shopkeeper who is quite big... said that he is very generous!"

Mrs. Liu said, "Oh sister! Haven't you seen how my family's life is going? My family's wishful dowry has not been collected through all kinds of means..."

Mrs. Wang rolled her eyes and said, "Humph, maybe you prefer boys over girls!"

Mrs. Liu argued, "What about my eldest son? He still doesn't have a full-time job! His son is about to be born, and he, he is still running errands for others! If his father has some skills, is this the case?"

Only then did Mrs. Wang become serious, "Eh... that's right?! But my husband was right! He even asked the clerk specifically, and he said it was Boss Liu! But... your life is really real! What's going on!"

You, you are not his wife, are you?!"

Mrs. Liu was so angry that she burst out laughing, "Is there an outhouse like mine?"

Mrs. Wang also laughed out loud, "Don't look down on yourself, you weren't ugly when you were young!"

Mrs. Liu became serious, "Sister, to tell you the truth... alas!" She sighed, "This dead man in my family... I have been married to him for so many years and gave him two sons and one daughter. Ordinarily, we are the most beautiful people in the world."

Are you your loved ones? After death, they will be buried together!"

She sighed again, "But the only thing he said to me and the children was: cold! Let's not mention these things for now. When I didn't have children, I was given two taels of silver a month. When I had children, I was given four taels of silver a month.

The expenses of the servants are included. During the Chinese New Year, an additional five taels will be given. These silvers cover the expenses of the entire family. In winter, he does not give more coal to burn fires. How can you say it is enough?! The family only has a little income...

I support my dowry with all my living expenses. He never eats at home...I don’t need to take care of his clothes and expenses for going out. But he never discusses with me about family matters, and he never tells me what he does outside. Reply

When I came home... I only slept in the front, and didn't even enter the backyard. I left in the morning! I never went into his house, and I didn't see anyone every day. Eh?! With that said, I... I really followed him

It’s like an outer room!”

Mrs. Wang giggled.

Mrs. Liu smiled bitterly, "This time I can't get my daughter's dowry, and I'm as anxious as an ant on the hot pot, but that dead man! It's as if it's nothing. Sometimes when I feel hateful, I really want to beat him to death! It's ridiculous.

When you say that...isn’t this wrong!?”

Mrs. Wang said, "He is like this...don't you check him out?"

"Before, I once thought about whether he had someone outside. I'm not that jealous! I thought, if there is someone, it would be nice to get him back. Now that we have children, we have to live our lives! But...it makes people

I’ve been following you for a while, but there’s nothing there!”

"This... something is really wrong! You need to check it out. It's not nice to say that he is like two people outside the home, let alone him messing around outside! If he causes trouble later, you and the child will be implicated.

Woolen cloth."

Mrs. Liu thought about it seriously and became a little scared. "Oh, it's really... I really need to check it out! If he is so rich, but treats our wives like this, then I will really kill him!"

Mrs. Liu's eyes were red.

But Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "You should be careful about this. He must have his own motives for doing this. He has been able to hide it from you for so many years, how can you still underestimate him? He treats you and his own children."

In this way...if I find out something I don't want you to know, then...hum, we don't know for sure who will kill whom! I have a lot of money, so I can do anything with ease."

Mrs. Liu was shocked when she heard this, "No way?! But, what you said..."

She thought quickly about what happened after so many years. This dead man must be wrong!

But why? This matter really shouldn’t be taken lightly. If he gets into a big trouble...

Mrs. Wang said, "Otherwise. Although the man in my family is not as rich as your husband, he has traveled all over the world and has seen a lot of things. He has almost done the things at hand. I think he is quite free, so why not let him go?"

He will check it for you."

"Then, if there is any danger, he is not..."

Mrs. Wang said disapprovingly, "Don't worry, he knows what's going on here best! He was the one who told me that something was wrong! At that time, I thought...I thought you were stingy and wanted to take advantage, so I got angry and ignored you."

."

Mrs. Liu said, "If I continue to be stingy, how can I sting my own girl? Look at what I want to buy for her... I really can't afford it. I'm sorry for her marriage, it's really a good deal."

Mrs. Wang said mysteriously, "Well, you have to be more careful about this matter, so as not to find out anything scandalous and delay the girl's future."

Mrs. Liu suddenly realized it, and her face was full of gratitude, "Thank you for meeting you! You are good to my sister, and she will remember it. Don't worry, if you really find out that he has so much money... Humph! I will get it all back and share it with you then!"

"Haha, it's settled!"
