Deng Wenliang walked around in front of my stall. Because it was a Saturday, there were many customers that day and they stood in a circle in front of the stall.
Maybe he felt that it was not particularly appropriate to talk in this position, so he cleared his throat, took a step closer to me, and whispered to me: "Shall we find a place to talk?"
Seeing him with one hand behind his back and the other covering his mouth, he looked like a leader coming to inspect. I felt so angry that I looked back coldly while working.
Said: "Didn't you see that I'm busy? I'm still working!"
Deng Wenliang had no choice but to pretend to sigh. He held up his glasses and stared at me with the corner of his eyes, as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he made up his mind and whispered to me: "Okay, then.
Wait until you are not busy, I will go in and wait for you."
As he said that, he actually walked into my shop step by step, holding his hands behind his back, sat down near the door, and then looked in my direction.
During this process, Ye Xing was always in the store, but he and Deng Wenliang had no verbal communication or even eye contact.
I turned back and glanced at Deng Wenliang. To be honest, he was sitting there, neither eating nor drinking. He wasted a seat on me and hindered my business. I was not happy about it, so I thought about it and took a handkerchief.
I wiped my hands and waved to Xiaomei, asking her to come over and take care of me for a while. Then I walked over to Deng Wenliang wearing a big apron.
My careless look may have surprised Deng Wenliang. I saw him adjust his glasses again. This action usually occurs when he feels embarrassed.
Deng Wenliang is a perfectionist. Thinking about the past, if I was even slightly sloppy in my dress or even my hairstyle, he would frown and pick on me for a long time. But now I am openly walking around in a big apron with oily red pony flowers.
Arriving in front of him, one can imagine the degree of shock in his heart at this moment.
Looking at his shocked face, I felt so happy. For the first time, I felt the great benefit of divorce. It turned out that I could live for myself and no longer had to look at that man's face to live in fear.
.
I walked up to Deng Wenliang, tapped the table in front of him with my fingers, and said to him coldly: "If you have anything to say, just say it here!"
Deng Wenliang looked at me expressionlessly, then stood up slowly and whispered to me: "Let's go outside and find a secluded place to talk!"
Because there are other customers in the store, Deng Wenliang may not find it convenient to talk here. In fact, since I started this roadside stall business, my thickness of face and courage have increased a lot. I am not afraid of talking to Deng Wenliang.
He can talk about things here, why is he still afraid of what others say?
But thinking about it, it wouldn’t be good if we really got into an argument here and disturbed the enjoyment of other guests, so I thought about it, took off the big apron from my chest and hung it on the wall, and then pointed to the other side of the small road.
He said to Deng Wenliang in an alley: "Let's go over there and talk."
Deng Wenliang looked at me and nodded.
At this time, Ye Xing came over in a hurry. He looked at me and asked me softly: "Sister Man, are you okay? Do you need my help?" His eyes were full of concern.
I winked at him and whispered to him: "It's okay." Then I waved my hand gently to him to signal him not to act rashly.
Seeing us like this, Deng Wenliang, who was standing behind me, couldn't help coughing.
I glanced at him and said to him calmly: "Let's go." Then I took him to the small alley across the road.
In the alley are self-built houses for residents of urban villages. They are all single-family houses and rented to some migrant workers from other places. I took Deng Wenliang to a relatively secluded and shady place, then stopped and asked Deng Wenliang.
: "If you have anything to say, just say it?"
Deng Wenliang adjusted his glasses again, looked at me with some surprise, and then asked in a low voice: "Are you and Ye Xing... together again?"
I was a little surprised when I first heard what he said, but soon I understood the purpose of Deng Wenliang's trip. A dogmatist like him who only allowed himself to light the lamp and not allow others to set fire to it, now seeing me after the divorce,
He must be very unhappy to be hanging out with the little lover he paid to seduce me.
Don't say that we are divorced and I have nothing to do with him anymore. There is such a man in this world. He likes to control the fate of everyone who has been controlled by him, including his ex-wife.
Seeing through Deng Wenliang's thoughts, I deliberately said to him in a disapproving tone: "Huh? What does this have to do with you?"
Deng Wenliang's eyes became a little shocked, even a little angry. He adjusted his glasses hard, pursed his lips, and shouted at me: "Don't forget that you are Tongtong's mother! What will you accomplish by doing this?
Decency?"
When I heard what he said, I was shocked at first, and then burst into laughter. I laughed so hard that I almost burst into tears.
Deng Wenliang looked at me with shocked eyes and shouted at me in a low voice: "Why are you laughing? Stop laughing?"
I put away the smile on my face and asked him sternly: "You still have the nerve to ask me like this? Why didn't you consider your decency when you invited him here?"
Deng Wenliang knew that he was in the wrong. He tilted his eyes to one side viciously, deliberately not looking at me, probably suppressing the anger in his heart. After a moment, he turned to look at me again and said calmly: "Are you very nervous now?"
Short of money? I can give you a sum of money to help you solve your current difficulties, and then you can find something legitimate to do, stop setting up a roadside stall here, and stop interacting with Ye Xing."
I tilted my head and looked at Deng Wenliang and asked him teasingly: "Is Mr. Deng threatening me? Or is he trying to induce me?"
Deng Wenliang frowned and said to me fiercely: "Whatever you think! Anyway, I don't want to see you like this. Look at what your whole body looks like now."
As he said that, Deng Wenliang looked me up and down with his disdainful eyes, his eyes full of disdain.
I know that my current image is indeed not very good. I have to stand in front of a steaming hot pot stand and work all day long. How can I say anything about my image? Even though I have taken off the big apron stained with oil, I still feel inside.
He was only wearing a rustic half-sleeved shirt and a pair of long-outdated baggy summer pants. His hair was tied back casually with a hairpin, and there was no hairstyle at all.
I dress like this on purpose. Firstly, it’s for the convenience of work. Who would wear designer clothes to work here? Secondly, it’s also to prevent wolves. In such a mixed place, you, a mature single woman, dress up in all your glory.
, will only attract the attention of all kinds of perverts or boring people with bad intentions, so I keep in mind a rule, that is, when doing business in such a place, you must dress as plain and low-key as possible, the more rustic the better.
However, Deng Wenliang's tone made me very unhappy at this moment. I came closer to him, looked directly into his face, and said to him categorically: "Why do I look so out of shape? Is it because I am not fully clothed?"
?Or is it just that I can’t get into your old eyes?”
Deng Wenliang was so excited by my words that he took a step back and muttered unconsciously: "I'm just talking, do you think you are so excited?"
For some reason, I despise his pretentiousness the most now. We used to be husband and wife, and I tolerated him when he liked to be fake and hypocritical. But at this moment, I really don't have any need to tolerate him.
So I crackled at him like beans bouncing upside down in a bamboo tube and launched a series of punches. I yelled at him: "Why is my roadside stall business not a legitimate profession? I didn't steal or rob, and I made money through my own hard work.
What's unfair? Do you need to make irresponsible remarks?"
As I said that, I looked at him with the same disdainful look he looked at me just now, and said to him with a cold smile: "Besides, you don't look at who you are? Do you really think you are the king of heaven? We are divorced.
Oh! Do you need to tell me which man I am dating?"
Deng Wenliang probably never dreamed that I, who have always been submissive and tolerant, would say such a barrage of words to him. I saw that his face was turning blue with anger, and his lips were trembling as he whispered to me.
Said: "Okay, let me be nosy, but heaven and earth can prove that I am doing this all for your own good! Do you like living this kind of life setting up a stall on the roadside under the scorching sun all day long? Also, is that Ye Xing really
Is it suitable for you? You are already in your thirties, why don't you think about it with your brain? If you want to find a suitable partner, I can ask a friend to help you look for it. Even if it is not particularly outstanding, it is still better than this Ye
The star is suitable for you. If you really encounter any difficulties right now, I can also help you with some funds."
I stared at Deng Wenliang with a mocking look. After he finished speaking the above, I said to him calmly: "Mr. Deng, do I still dare to accept the man you introduced? What if I fall into the trap again?
It's a trap. This time, won't you be eaten to the dregs? I still have that bit of memory! When we divorced, I didn't ask for the half of the property that was supposed to be given to me. Now I want this little pretense from you.
The so-called relief money given out by charity? You'd better keep it and make a living for yourself!"
After saying this, I sneered at Deng Wenliang, waved my hand, and walked towards the entrance of the alley.
Behind me, Deng Wenliang was so angry that his chest turned pale. When I had walked a few steps away, he shouted in a low voice behind me: "Su Man, you will regret it in the future!"
I turned my head with a smile, pointed at Deng Wenliang, and said through gritted teeth: "Deng Wenliang, listen carefully, I will definitely not regret anything I did today! And you can take care of yourself."
That’s good!”
After saying this, I glared at Deng Wenliang fiercely, then turned my head and strode out of the alley, ignoring his every move.
As soon as I got close to the alley entrance, I found Ye Xing standing there looking inside. Now that I was out, he looked me up and down and asked eagerly: "He didn't trouble you, did he? He didn't do anything to you.
How about that?"
Looking at his anxious little eyes, a warm current flowed through my heart. I patted his shoulder gently and said softly to him: "Don't worry, it's okay. Look at me, isn't it okay?"
"
Ye Xing looked at me, who was safe and sound, and grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. At that moment, I was in a very good mood.
