Xiao Tong hesitated to speak, and finally let out a long sigh.
"...I don't know what to tell you...Anyway, the problems between us are quite serious and there are quite a lot."
Xue Ling nodded lightly and said warmly: "Not to mention whether the problem is serious or not. You need to ask yourself first - do you still love Duoduo?"
Xiao Tong was stunned and lowered his beautiful eyelashes.
"What you love or not...have been lost in the triviality and indifference of daily life."
Xue Ling felt funny for a moment and asked: "How many years have you been married? If you can't even put together five fingers, how many trivial things can there be? Huh?"
She is over fifty years old and has been a grandmother for several years, so she is still qualified to comment on the so-called trivial matters of the family.
Hearing the little girl in front of her speak like this, she couldn't help but feel familiar with "a young man who doesn't know what it feels like to be sad, but just talks about it in order to compose new words."
Xiao Tong was slightly embarrassed and whispered: "Auntie, if I had known that marriage is nothing, I would not have gotten married at all. Getting married is really... so tiring. Especially after having children, I will be all kinds of anxious and irritable -
—I really can’t stand it. Occasionally when I think of that home, I can’t help but regret it. If I hadn’t been anxious to get married and have children, I wouldn’t have ended up like this now.”
"What is it like now?" Xue Ling asked curiously: "What's wrong with it?"
Xiao Tong whispered: "On the surface, it's pretty good. I have a house, a car, and children. There are also nannies and old people to help take care of the children."
Xue Ling nodded and asked, "What do you lack?"
Xiao Tong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "The family doesn't lack anything, and he doesn't seem to lack anything either. I'm different from him... He has his own career, and mine is still struggling. The mansion is his, and the luxury car is his.
It's also his...everything is his. It seems like I have nothing here."
Some people envy her good fortune and marrying such an excellent and wealthy husband.
But she never seemed to find anything so-called "good".
When we were in love before, everything was fine. He was good in his own way, and she was not bad either. They were both good and happy.
After getting married, everything became different. She seemed to be given the title of "President Zheng's wife". She was no longer herself, but a subsidiary of Zheng Duoduo.
Xue Ling laughed dumbly and asked: "How come you don't have anything? The courtyard is your wedding house and it is under your joint names. The luxury car was bought by him before and is not considered as joint property of the couple. But every year he makes money to the group
You have a share in the side dividends and wages and bonuses. These are material aspects. What about your mother-in-law? You have no share? She treats you badly and doesn’t love you. What about your son? He is your pregnancy in ten months.
Don’t you have a share in the birth?”
It may not sound like much materially, but the courtyard house alone is worth hundreds of millions!
Land prices have skyrocketed in recent years, and the price of high-end courtyard houses in the imperial capital has increased every year, even to the point of dizzying.
That courtyard house was their wedding room, and her name was written on it from the beginning.
Before buying the courtyard house, Zheng Duoduo emphasized that although the wedding house was bought before marriage, Xiao Tong's name must be added because her home is in the south and her natal family is far away, and she was worried that she would not have a sense of belonging in the imperial capital.
Xue Ling was a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with your child? Did Duoduo not give you enough sense of security? Or are you thinking wrong?"
Xiao Tong's eyes flashed slightly, and the corners of his eyes began to turn red.
"Auntie, I always feel that I can't live without a sense of crisis... He is very good to me. He can give me a lot, and I can even hide behind him and be a housewife. But my parents raised me to be a housewife. , I don’t want to give it a try myself, I will fight hard while I am young and have a career of my own. I am not willing to do it at all... I also want to stand at the same level as him, and don’t want him to look down on me."
"Duoduo looks down on you?"
No wonder the two people were so quarrelsome, it turned out that there were such big differences between them!
At first I thought it was just Xiao Tong who insisted on starting a business, but now it seems that there are many reasons that cannot be ignored.
Xiao Tong replied: "Auntie, as long as he and I are in different career positions, our social status and class will never be consistent. He always feels that our company will not last long, and he always thinks that I have to follow him. I have to do it behind my back, otherwise nothing will be accomplished - what is this but looking down on me? This is Chiguoguo's contempt, and it's more than just contempt."
Xue Ling frowned slightly: "Duoduo is not that kind of person."
Although Zheng Duoduo is a bit duplicitous, gentle and elegant on the outside, but in fact he is cunning and scheming, but he is by no means the kind of man who looks down on his wife.
In this regard, she has confidence in him. After all, he is the child she has watched grow up, and she can trust him.
"Yes!" Xiao Tong choked: "He thinks he is great, and thinks that everything he says and thinks is right! I want to start a business, but he will just keep opposing it. Later he said he didn't object anymore, but He just said it, but he still had the same idea in his heart!"
Xue Ling couldn't help but ask: "You wanted to start your own business, and he finally supported you in doing it, didn't he?"
"But he doesn't really support me!" Xiao Tong explained angrily: "He says one thing and does another! He doesn't support me in action at all! I am so busy that I can't take care of my family and children when I can take care of the company. He has never cared about me at all... He will only blame me for focusing on one thing at the expense of the other, and scold me for not recognizing what is most important!"
Xue Ling handed her a tissue.
"Thank you, Auntie." Xiao Tong took it. Unknowingly, he felt more and more aggrieved, and tears fell down his face.
Xue Ling thought for a while and asked softly: "Xiao Tong, are you under a lot of pressure now?"
"Yeah." Xiao Tong wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and whispered: "The company has been unable to make ends meet, and the results of the APP are not satisfactory. I have made corrections several times, but I am still not satisfied. The company's capital chain is very tight, and it has been busy looking for people recently. invest."
Xue Ling's eyes moved slightly and asked: "Duoduo didn't help you with funds, right?"
"Forget it if he doesn't help!" Xiao Tong said solemnly: "Zheng Duoduo is not the only one with money in the world! I didn't speak to him, and he didn't take the initiative to say it! He clearly knew that it was so difficult for me - he just wanted to make me look embarrassed on purpose. ! Let me admit defeat! Let me just hide behind his back and do trivial things! Sooner or later I will impress him!"
Xue Ling couldn't help laughing and said: "You and he are husband and wife, not enemies or enemies. Why are you competing with him? What are you comparing with him? I have only heard of husband and wife being enemies, but I have never heard of 'husband and wife'." It’s the enemy’s rhetoric.”
"I - I don't want to compete with him." Xiao Tong argued: "I also want to prove myself."
