Life is more than just living

Lin Zhiyuan went to pick up Chen Xu. When he returned to the community, he went to park the car. Chen Xu slowly walked towards the door of the unit, wanting to wait for Lin Zhiyuan to park the car and get in together. At this moment, a young woman suddenly rushed out of the door and almost hit Chen Xu. Chen Xu quickly stepped aside. The woman was stylishly dressed and ran out angrily holding her car keys. Chen Xu was a little confused and was about to walk in when he saw Tian Yuqin running down the safe passage panting. Seeing Chen Xu, Tian Yuqin crouched, held her knees with both hands, panted for a while and said, "Chen Xu, help me stop my daughter-in-law." Chen Xu quickly turned around and rushed out of the unit door, but no one could be seen.

Tian Yuqin also came out and said breathlessly: "Where did she go?" Suddenly she remembered, "Her car should be in the underground parking lot." After saying that, she ran to press the elevator button. Chen Xu looked at Tian Yuqin's panic and said to her: "Aunt Tian, ​​I just saw that she went out from the unit door!" Tian Yuqin calmed down and said: "Yes! She seemed to be coming back just now. When I changed clothes and went out to eat, the car didn’t go to the underground parking lot, but temporarily parked outside the building door, and drove away directly.”

At this time, Lin Zhiyuan also came in. Tian Yuqin saw Lin Zhiyuan and said: "Brother Lin, I have something to trouble you. If you have time, can you help me persuade this guy Guo Jian: Don't quarrel with your wife! The wife's family has good conditions, so it's normal to be squeamish. Let her take it easy. We are all good people. If you marry a wife, you have to live a good life. How can you just say divorce?" Lin Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Sister Tian, ​​don't worry! I'll call and talk about him later. .”

After Tian Yuqin finished speaking, she quickly took the elevator to the underground parking lot and prepared to drive her car to her daughter-in-law's natal home to invite her back. Chen Xu found it quite interesting. Lin Zhiyuan called Tian Yuqin Sister Tian, ​​while Guo Jian called Brother Lin Zhiyuan. Maybe he was used to calling her like this before. The two went upstairs to cook and eat. When they were about to finish eating, there was a knock on the door. Chen Xu was very surprised. Since Zhang Huan left, no one else would knock on the door except Lin Zhiyuan. Who could it be? Chen Xu glanced at the door mirror and saw Tian Yuqin outside, so he quickly opened the door. Tian Yuqin looked at Chen Xu and said with some embarrassment: "Chen Xu, Aunt Tian has something to ask of you." Chen Xu quickly said: "Come in quickly, don't ask for anything! If I can help, I will definitely We'll help, come in!" Tian Yuqin came in and was about to change her shoes when she suddenly found Lin Zhiyuan sitting at the dining table eating. She was stunned for a moment, obviously not expecting Lin Zhiyuan to eat here. Chen Xu pulled Tian Yuqin and signaled: "No need to change shoes, come in!" He did not get her slippers. Tian Yuqin may be a professional characteristic, so she quickly took off her shoes and walked in barefoot. She nodded to Lin Zhiyuan, then followed Chen Xu to the living room and sat on the sofa. Chen Xu said towards the restaurant: "Brother, I have one mouthful of food left. Please help me wash the dishes later!" Lin Zhiyuan said, "I understand. Let me clean up the leftover food for you!" Tian Yuqin was a little confused. I don’t know what the relationship between the two is, but now that I have a lawsuit on my head, I no longer have the energy to gossip about other people’s affairs.

Tian Yuqin anxiously said to Chen Xu: "Chen Xu, to tell you the truth, my son can't do anything and made my daughter-in-law angry. I just went to my in-laws' house to take my daughter-in-law back, but the whole family of three Don't give me a good look. He said that he had to ask Guo Jian to apologize to be sincere. My son, who would rather break than bend, is also angry now. It is impossible to go, and I can't persuade him. I think we have to show some attitude. Yeah, our daughter-in-law ran home, we can't just ignore her!" Chen Xu listened, not knowing what Tian Yuqin wanted to express, and it was inconvenient for her to ask the young couple why they were angry.

After Lin Zhiyuan finished eating and washed the dishes, he came over and sat next to Chen Xu and said, "Sister Tian, ​​what is the reason for the quarrel between the couple?" Tian Yuqin sighed and said, "Hi! Let me tell you, Guo Jian's Children are careless and can't adapt. Isn't that right? My daughter-in-law came back happily today and wanted to go out for dinner together. We all changed clothes, so I heard her ask Guo Jian: Do you remember what day it is today? ? Guo Jian thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with it, so he said: Today is Saturday! As a result, his daughter-in-law became angry and said: You don't have me in your heart. Today is the 100th day of our marriage! What did you say about my son? Are you stupid? It doesn't matter if you forgot. Someone reminded you, so hurry up and make up for it! When the daughter-in-law made a fuss, the gangster got angry. This kid's words can make a person angry to death. What did he say: I I heard that some people died after being burned for a hundred days, and some children lived for a hundred days, but how could anyone get married for a hundred days? The couple started to quarrel, and no one gave in to the other, and no one listened to my advice. As a result, the daughter-in-law It’s too much to say, and Guo Jian also said: It’s just nothing. What do you mean this is all about? We got divorced just 100 days after we got married, and if word spread, it would be both good and bad.”

Tian Yuqin tidied up her somewhat messy hair with her hands, and sighed, "Well, all these years, I have been looking forward to my children getting married, and I thought I could help take care of the children while I can still walk. You said you have just been married for a few years. God, it’s so embarrassing for a young couple to get divorced!”

Lin Zhiyuan listened to the advice and said: "Sister Tian, ​​just let them handle the affairs of the young people themselves. Don't worry about them. As a young couple, if you are happy today and annoyed tomorrow, don't take it seriously. What an outstanding child our Guo Jian is, really If we want a divorce, the woman's family won't be able to bear it." Upon hearing this, Tian Yuqin smiled helplessly, "Brother Lin, you are really good at talking. I hope the woman thinks so." Chen Xu listened in confusion, and she He couldn't help but ask: "Aunt Tian, ​​what do you mean by asking for me?" Tian Yuqin slapped her thigh, "Oh, look at me, I'm old, I talked a lot, but I didn't get to the point. What’s going on, our daughter-in-law, her uncle’s child works in your procuratorate, I’m wondering if you know him, can you help persuade him? My daughter-in-law’s name is Yan Dongxue, and his cousin’s name is Yan Donglin.” When Chen Xu heard this, he laughed. This world is really small. She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to work tomorrow and ask my colleagues." Tian Yuqin said a little embarrassed, "Chen Xu, can you call his brother soon? I'm afraid there will be no news for a long time, My daughter-in-law is even more angry." Chen Xu quickly said, "Okay, I'll make a call right now." Tian Yuqin then said goodbye with great gratitude and went back. Lin Zhiyuan and Chen Xu were left looking at each other.

After a while, Chen Xu asked Lin Zhiyuan, "Brother, you said that Guo Jian's conditions are not bad. Why is Aunt Tian so unconfident and so afraid of her daughter-in-law's divorce? It feels a bit lowly."

Lin Zhiyuan sighed: "The mother and son have been dependent on each other for so many years. They understand each other and want each other to have a good life. Guo Jian is the most special existence among my younger brothers: all the people who come to follow me, when they first came They all expressed their loyalty to me, even if they were to go up mountains of swords or seas of fire. Only Guo Jian said something to me when he came, which touched me deeply. At that time, he said: I am not afraid of hardship or tiredness, but I will not do anything illegal. , I couldn't make my mother sad, so I kept him. After being with me for so many years, Guo Jian was quite safe in doing things. At that time, I felt that this child was a rare person. At that time, he had just graduated from junior high school. His father got cancer and spent all the money in the family without retaining anyone. In the end, the family was devastated. Sister Tian said at that time that she would support him in high school and college, but Guo Jian was unwilling. He said that he would not be able to go to college until seven years later. After graduation, my mother had to work hard for the past seven years to support him, but he didn't want to do it. Later, after he followed me, when the money was distributed, everyone else went to eat and drink, and only Guo Jian got all the money back. The family was left to his mother. Sister Tian was also very frugal in her life, and she lived frugally. I remember that Sister Tian was doing housekeeping at the time, and she only opened her own housekeeping company in the past few years. Among all these brothers, Guo Jian was the only one He doesn't smoke or drink, and is like a good boy. Sister Tian took the initiative to find his marriage. The girl's father and the girl's uncle opened a machinery factory together, and the business was pretty good. After the girl finished college I didn’t even look for a job. I just ate, drank and had fun all day long. The small bosses in Longcheng have one thing in common, that is, they are particularly spoiled by children. They are better off than the people around them, so they are also more arrogant. Today’s young people, like me The old-fashioned people just don’t understand. I don’t know that we need to celebrate 100 days after we get married. That guy Guo Jian probably doesn’t understand the urgent need of young people to pursue a sense of ceremony.”

Chen Xu sighed, "What exactly is marriage? Even if you persuade your wife to come back, who can say for sure whether you can live a good life in the future?" Lin Zhiyuan said: "Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty. Just make a call. In fact, I'm not too optimistic about it. This young couple had a rough time before. Their house covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters, with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. The house is obviously enough to live in, but the daughter-in-law complains that the house is small all day long, and the mother-in-law does her best to serve her daughter-in-law. Even though she is a paid nanny, the woman is still dissatisfied. Some time ago, Sister Tian wanted to live in the garage, and she made excuses that she was tired of going up and downstairs. In fact, everyone knows that this house has an elevator. Sister Tian wants to renovate the garage. It was Guo Jian who refused to let her live. Nowadays, there are not many parents living with their children, but Sister Tian always wants to help her son while she is still young. But this wife is really hard to explain. I think it is better to leave. Forget it." Chen Xu shook his head, "I would rather demolish ten temples than ruin one marriage. How can anyone advise someone to divorce? Let me make a phone call!"

Chen Xu called Yan Donglin and briefly explained his purpose. Yan Donglin said on the other end of the phone: "What is Xiaoxue making? I think that young man Guo Jian is good, mature and steady, and a down-to-earth man. What's even more commendable is that he is filial to his mother. He is a rare person. Xiaoxue is spoiled by my uncle and aunt. . I called her to talk to her, but the child has been spoiled a bit unreasonably, and my persuasion may not be effective."

Chen Xu felt that he had done all he could to help with this matter and it had nothing to do with him anymore. He did not expect that it would become more and more serious later.
