There is a kind of person who is born weak and has a habit of being weak. Even if he knows it's unfair, he still won't fight for it.
Mu Ning's mother has been criticized and bullied by her husband all her life. A weak woman has shouldered all the responsibilities of a family. She has raised children, taken care of the elderly, and has to serve her husband. She has worked hard all her life, but what has she gained in the end? Nothing.
No.
She was disliked by her husband's family, insulted by her natal family, and her husband didn't think highly of her. Fortunately, she raised a beautiful and sensible daughter. Otherwise, what hope would Mu Ning's mother have in this life?
"That's it. There are fewer people buying them now. Those children may be picky, so they all go to the store to buy them. They are sold cheaply and they are disgusted. They don't want to buy them anymore." Mu Ning's mother sighed.
Mu Shiqing counted the money, which was enough for several days of drinking and cigarettes. He put the money in his pocket and said in a rough voice:
"Girls are like this, why do you care about this? Isn't that man Mu Ning's family rich? He is the boss. In the future, the in-laws will know that our family is like this. Can they look down on your daughter? For the sake of your daughter,
We have to improve our own level, stop doing those small businesses that only cost a few cents, and sell the stall to Lao Guo next door. We have to be decent people from the capital."
"If we sell the stall to Lao Guo, we won't be able to live anymore?" Mu Ning's mother immediately retorted loudly. Mu Shiqing turned around and raised his hand, as if to fight. Mu Ning's mother was so frightened that she backed away.
After pushing this further, he added, "Our daughter doesn't want us to worry, but we have to live our own lives, right? If we don't have the stall, how can we make a living? I still have some repeat customers, so giving the stall to others for nothing is tantamount to
Send money."
"I said you can only be a cow for the rest of your life. The situation is different now. Do you want Ning'er's partner to become a prostitute because of our conditions? Do you think it's easy to find a local person in the capital? Others still do
Boss, no matter how big or small the business is, it is still better than ours. If our living standards don’t improve, do you think other people will accept our daughter if they can? We are doing this for our daughter’s future and for our better life in the future. You are a woman.
Don't bother me, just listen to me." Mu Shiqing yelled back.
Mu Ning's mother didn't feel right. "I don't care what nonsense you are talking about. My stall is my lifeblood. I won't sell it for anything. If you want to raise the level, you can raise it yourself. If the person Ning'er is looking for accepts it,
A poor mother like me is not worthy of marrying my daughter..."
"哐——"
Before Mu Ning's mother could finish her words, Mu Shiqing strode over and slapped her hard in the face. Mu Ning's mother was so beaten that her mouth and eyes were crooked, she staggered a few steps and leaned against the wall without saying anything.
Dare you say it again.
"It's your business if you want to be poor. My daughter is mine and I have the final say! Go out and find a house for me tomorrow, a three-bedroom apartment in a good location. Don't you know that people in the capital say they are well-matched? Look at you now
Are you trying to embarrass me and my daughter? You bitch who is holding us back, you deserve to eat shit for the rest of your life, get out of here." After Mu Shiqing roared angrily, he slammed the door and went out to buy a drink.
Mu Ning's mother covered her red and swollen face. The pain was unmistakable and her eyes were wet, but she did not cry.
After decades of living like this, she must be exhausted. She will not feel the pain for a while. Her husband is the one who beat her. How can they still have a fight? How do outsiders view a fight between husband and wife?
Besides, she didn't want her daughter to see an even more embarrassing scene.
Mu Ning hung up the phone and raised her eyes. A long figure came into view first, and Mu Ning stared at him.
"Tang Shiyuan..."
"Well, why are you sitting here? It's so cold at night. Come with me into the house. My mother is talking to you." Tang Shiyuan said softly, approached Mu Ning, and stood in front of her.
Mu Ning covered her face with her hands, stared at the dark ground, and said nothing for a long time.
She really wanted to reject him and say break up. It seemed that breaking up was what she wanted to do most in her heart. But she was unwilling to give in and coveted his money. Although he couldn't be said to be very generous to her, if he really got married, he wouldn't ignore her.
Parents. But, deep down in my heart, I am very unwilling.
"What's wrong?" Tang Shiyuan saw that she was in a bad mood and immediately squatted in front of her.
Mu Ning shook her head and still didn't look at him. Tang Shiyuan held Mu Ning's cold hand and said, "It's so cold, go inside, okay?"
"I'm a little afraid of your mother." Mu Ning whispered.
"..." Tang Shiyuan didn't react after listening for a long time. After a long time, he laughed out loud, "Hahaha... you. My mother has nothing to be afraid of. She is very gentle. I promise she will not make things difficult for you. Okay.
?”
"But……"
"Believe me!" Tang Shiyuan interrupted directly. Seeing that she stopped talking, Tang Shiyuan's voice deepened slightly, "Come in, it's too cold outside."
Tang Shiyuan pulled Mu Ning into the house, but escaped, "I want to go to the bathroom."
"Well, that's right. If you mind about the shared bathroom, just go to my room upstairs." Tang Shiyuan said seriously.
Mu Ning shook her head, "It doesn't matter."
Tang Shiyuan was waiting here. Mu Ning walked over and bumped into Qi Yao who was coming out of the kitchen. Qi Yao was holding fruit in his hand. The bathroom was opposite the servant's room next to the kitchen. The two of them walked past each other.
When Mu Ning raised her eyes, Qi Yao smiled in a friendly manner, and then did nothing else. However, Mu Ning suddenly remembered something and suddenly called Qi Yao.
"Hey, did you say something about me to Shiyuan's sister?"
Probably they confused Qi Yao with Zhou Haoyu. On the way here, they had discussed with great interest the incident of Tang Shiyuan's ex-brother-in-law being bitten to death by a lion. However, when he saw Qi Yao at this moment, he forgot about it again.
Tang Shiqi and the Tang family don't think Qi Yao and Zhou Haoyu look alike. That's because they know Zhou Haoyu better than Mu Ning. Qi Yao and Zhou Haoyu are very different in personality. Mu Ning has only seen them once or twice, and they can
Of course, what you remember is just a vague appearance. When you see Qi Yao again, can you not admit your mistake?
Qi Yao stopped after Mu Ning shouted, turned around and looked at Mu Ning, Mu Ning gritted her teeth, walked back a few steps and stood in front of Qi Yao, raising her tender face with anger.
No matter how stupid people are, they can feel other people's attitudes towards them. Tang Shiqi probably liked her at first, right? But after a few times, her attitude became completely different. She didn't do anything unworthy of forgiveness.
At least not to Shiyuan and his sister. After thinking about it, it was the time with Tang Shiyuan's brother-in-law.
"I know even if you don't admit it! You are slandering me behind my back because you are afraid that I will tell Shiyuan's sister what you said to me, right?" Mu Ning made a bold guess, with a look of justice on her face.
Qi Yao frowned. He had no idea that this little girl had met Zhou Haoyu. The two were not in the same life circle at all. How could they have a chance to meet?
Therefore, Qi Yao's questioning of Mu Ning was really inexplicable.
