Life is more than just living

Chen Xu never expected that he would meet Han Yidao's mother in such a scene. On Saturday morning, Chen Xu accompanied his grandmother out for shopping. When he came back, he took a walk in the small garden in front of the community. When he was tired, the two of them sat down on a bench to rest.

There are a lot of people in the park, including children chasing each other and old people exercising. Everyone is dressed casually. Suddenly he heard the sudden sound of high heels hitting the ground. Chen Xu looked up inadvertently and saw a woman in her 50s or [-]s, dressed brightly, walking towards her. Grandma didn't notice this woman and was still talking to Chen Xu: "Xiao Xu, get married after you graduate. If you don't have a house, live with grandma first. While grandma can still move, she can help you take care of the children for a few years. "Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, but when he saw the woman coming across from him snorting coldly, Chen Xu suddenly felt that this woman was just here for him.

The visitor said disdainfully: "Marry? Who are you marrying?"

The old man looked up when he heard the words, "Zhilan, why are you here?" Chen Xu understood immediately that this was Han Yidao's mother. Li Zhilan said disdainfully: "Why can't I be here? I can't go to your house. Can't I even come near your house? Who is this woman?"

Seeing that his daughter's tone was not kind, the old man pulled Chen Xu tightly and said, "This is Yidao's girlfriend." Then he turned to Chen Xu and said, "Xiaoxu, this is Yidao's mother." When Chen Xu saw Li Zhilan had a bad attitude towards the old man and was not in the mood to please her future mother-in-law, so she stood up and said politely and coldly, "Hello, aunt!"

Unexpectedly, Li Zhilan said rudely: "Don't get too close to me. Who do you think you are, calling me auntie?" The old man was so angry that his hands shook, "You useless thing, all the education you have received in these years is useless." Have you eaten? You are not polite at all, how can you talk to a child? Not to mention that this is Yidao's girlfriend, even a passerby's child, you can't talk like that!"

Li Zhilan looked at her adoptive mother condescendingly, "Stop preaching! I have heard enough since I was a child. If this was the child of a passerby, I might be a little more polite, but for this kind of overestimation I don’t need to be polite to the bitch who covets my son.”

Chen Xu never thought that such a good grandmother and such a good Han Yidao would be separated by an unreasonable person like Li Zhilan. Seeing that the old man was trembling with anger, Chen Xu quickly leaned over to help him, "Grandma, don't you be angry? You have to take care of yourself. If you get sick from anger, what will Yidao and I do?" The old man closed his eyes. He opened his eyes and took a few deep breaths, "Good boy, listen to you. I won't be angry with this unfilial thing. It's not worth it."

Li Zhilan didn't feel any guilt because the old man was angry. She still bossed Chen Xu, "I'm warning you, stay away from my son. If you want to marry into our family, you are just dreaming! Don't waste your efforts." , It’s no use trying to please this old lady here all day long, she doesn’t care.”

When the old lady heard this, she was a little excited again. Chen Xu held the old man's shoulders and patted him gently to comfort him. She looked up at Li Zhilan and said, "Then should I call you Mrs. Han or Ms. Li?" Before Li Zhilan could answer, Then he said, "I think you may be more inclined to call me Mrs. Han. Mrs. Han, I have no intention of marrying into your Han family at all. When the time comes, Han Yidao and I will start a family by ourselves. As for the two of us, what can we do?" Which step you take is not up to you. What does it matter whether you accept it or not? Now that marriage is free, I don’t have to get your blessing. Just for your attitude towards grandma today, I don’t think you deserve respect. . Han Yidao will feel ashamed to have a mother like you. You said one thing wrong. I am good to my grandma because she deserves it, not to please me. Why are you so arrogant and insulting me today? If you love your son, you should respect him and not control him. If you have money, it will be even more unreasonable, and I won't spend your money."

Li Zhilan never expected that Chen Xu would have such an attitude. This woman was really shameless. Meng Xiangyu was absolutely right, this woman was difficult to deal with. She pointed at Chen Xu's nose and cursed: "Bitch, don't be so shameless. Don't think that everyone doesn't know about the dirty things you did! If you know what's going on, leave my son quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being rude." .”

The old man paused with his cane, "I want to see how you can be so rude? If you dare to do anything that is not good for Xiaoxu, neither I nor Yidao will forgive you. You have some bad money in your pocket, Do you think you are superior to others? Fortunately, you are a highly educated person. How did you say these words? You speak obscenely and vulgarly. You are so shameless. You don’t listen to me when you are looking for a partner. Damn it, you have to make the decision yourself, why do you want to take care of everything when it comes to your son? The child can find his own partner, and whoever he likes will be who he likes! What does it have to do with you? "

Seeing more and more people watching, Li Zhilan said loudly: "You are an old fool and have been deceived by this woman. Do you know what this woman does? She was not clean when she was a teenager and hung out with gangsters. How can someone like this be Yidao’s daughter-in-law?”

The old man took Chen Xu with one hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Xiao Xu is not that kind of person. I don't want to listen to you now. Get out now and never appear in front of me again. I don't have a daughter like you a long time ago. I Just think you raised a wolf and get out of here."

Just as Li Zhilan was about to retort, an old man came up next to her and said to her: "Zhilan, look how angry your mother is. You are already a grown man, how can you talk to your mother like this? Is there anything you can't do calmly? You must say it well, if you have to keep making noise here, it will make people laugh!"

Li Zhilan took a look and said quickly, "Uncle Meng, I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you? I've been busy with business recently and I don't have time to see you." The old man said rudely: "You don't have to see me, I have a son." There is a girl, but your mother is alone. As long as you have any conscience, you should come back to see her often."

Li Zhilan's face turned red and white, "Uncle Meng, you can't listen to my mother's words. She wants to sever ties with me and not allow me to come back."

The old man sighed. It is difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters. "Although I don't know what you have been arguing about all these years, I think your mother still raised you. Even as an adoptive mother, you should respect her and be filial to her. If you don't If you're willing to take care of it, just leave it alone, don't come back and quarrel with her."

Li Zhilan was always polite to Mr. Meng, "Uncle Meng, it's not that I quarreled with my mother. I was just anxious and spoke a little louder. I don't know where my mother knew this scheming woman. She had to persuade her." I want to be Yidao's wife, but this woman is not clean at all. How can I not be anxious as a mother? How can I let my child find such a girlfriend? By the way, Meng Xiangyu knows the details of this woman, or That’s what she told me!”

Mr. Meng sighed, "When did this kid Xiangyu learn to tell what he said behind his back? Nowadays, when young people are having sex, parents should stop getting involved and let them do it on their own! This kid Yidao is very good. I'm very happy." I like it. You have to believe in Yidao and his choice."

Upon hearing this, Li Zhilan quickly said: "Uncle Meng, you grew up watching Yidao. You know, this child has no scheming and is too simple. Isn't that a good example when she found that girlfriend before? In the end, she went with Han Guofa. This child doesn't know how to look at people, otherwise I wouldn't worry about it. If she listens to the adults and stays with Xiangyu, then she doesn't have to worry so much. "

Mr. Meng did not follow Li Zhilan's words, but advised, "Zhilan, dating these days requires mutual consent. We can't do the same old thing. Let the children go their own way! I heard that your family is so How can a big company be supported by you alone? It’s not easy. Go back and work hard, and don’t make your mother angry here.”

Li Zhilan left reluctantly.

Meng Lao said to Han Yidao's grandmother: "Old Wu, don't be angry. You are so old. Just look at it. Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Just take good care of yourself."

Chen Xu supported his grandma and returned home with the groceries he bought. As soon as he sorted the things and put them away, he suddenly received a strange phone call. She looked at the number and felt a little strange. As soon as she picked up the phone, Li Zhilan's voice came from the phone, "Come out, I'm at the coffee shop across the square." Chen Xu was a little surprised at first, how did she know her phone number? Number? Later, she thought, since Meng Xiangyu told her, how could she not know her phone number? She knew clearly what Li Zhilan would say, and the result would be the same whether she went or not. But if she didn't go out, Li Zhilan would come to the door and make the old man angry. So she lied to the old man, "Grandma, I went out for a while. I forgot to buy something. I will be back soon."

Arriving at a coffee shop not far away, Li Zhilan sat by the window, stirring a cup of coffee. Seeing Chen Xu come in, Li Zhilan put down the small spoon in her hand. Chen Xu came to the opposite side and got straight to the point, "Just say what you want to say. Although I know what you will say, I can let you finish it in one go."

Just as Li Zhilan was about to speak, the waiter came over and asked Chen Xu what he wanted to drink. Chen Xu said lightly: "I'm sorry, this lady is talking to me. I don't need to order, thank you!" The waiter nodded and left. Li Zhilan let out a sneer from his nose, this idiot, who came here to drink, how much money he paid for a drink, he really couldn't afford it. Chen Xu saw her sarcasm, but remained calm. Seeing that Chen Xu didn't respond, Li Zhilan had no choice but to go straight to the point, "I don't like you." Chen Xu smiled, "I know." Li Zhilan was stunned. He could still laugh at this, but he didn't care! He had no choice but to continue: "You are willing to follow my son, do whatever you want, but he can't marry you." Chen Xu leaned on the chair and looked at Li Zhilan funny, "You know that Han Yidao is not the kind of person who plays casually. You are such a pathetic person who just says such things for fun." Li Zhilan punched cotton wool and gritted her teeth and said: "If you want to be shameless, you have slept with others, why do you still have the shame? Are you worthy of pestering my son?" Chen Xu was not anxious or annoyed, "If I were a young lady, would you agree?" Li Zhilan almost couldn't hold her breath, she didn't know what to say for a moment. Chen Xu leaned forward and put his arms on the table, "Have you ever asked whether Meng Xiangyu, the ideal daughter-in-law candidate, is a virgin?" Li Zhilan pointed at Chen Xu, "You, you..."

Chen Xu said calmly: "Why bother talking about him? You don't agree with me and Han Yidao being together, just because you think my family background is not good enough. I won't marry you. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not." What? I won’t ask you for a penny as a betrothal gift, and I promise not to spend a penny from you, so just keep your own money. Have I made it clear enough? What I want is Han Yidao, not you. My family's money. You ask why, I tell you, Han Yidao likes me, and Han Yidao is not as snobbish as you."

Li Zhilan was used to being strong, so she couldn't bear it. She yelled, "You son of a bitch without a mother's education, how dare you talk to me like this." Because her voice suddenly rose, other customers in the coffee shop looked at her. come over. Li Zhilan couldn't help but feel that there was some miscalculation. It would be too embarrassing if an acquaintance saw this. She lowered her voice and said, "Tell me, how can I leave my son? How much do you want? I warn you not to take advantage of me, otherwise I won't give you a penny."

Chen Xu couldn't help but laughed unkindly. Li Zhilan became angry, "Why are you laughing?" Chen Xu suppressed his laughter, "Mrs. Han, I think I have learned a lot today. I didn't expect that I overestimated you. I thought you could say so many innovative things. ! I want to say thank you! You gave me a lot of courage. People like you can be prosperous. What else do we have to worry about in the future of Han Yidao and me? Don’t worry, we will live a good life without any trouble. You bothered. You asked me how I would leave Han Yidao, right? Han Yidao can leave at any time when he feels that we are not suitable, and I will never pester him; when I feel that we are not suitable, I will leave without hesitation, and I will never want a penny from you. "

Li Zhilan's chest heaved violently with anger, "Bitch, you're going to take advantage of my son's idiot, right?"

Chen Xu was very angry when she heard what she said about Han Yidao, "Han Yidao is not an idiot. Please have some quality and don't speak dirty words." Li Zhilan didn't take advantage of her words today. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She picked up the coffee and wanted to spill it. Chen Xu, unexpectedly Chen Xu stopped him, "Don't do this, Mrs. Han, it's beneath your status." The coffee spilled on Li Zhilan's hand. Just now, when Li Zhilan loudly insulted Chen Xu, she attracted the attention of the people around her. At this time, the waiter came forward again and said, "I'm sorry, you two, have you finished talking about the matter? The coffee should be cold. Do you want to change it?" Chen Xuchao The waiter waved his hand and said, "It's over. Goodbye!" and left.

Chen Xu returned to his grandmother's house. As soon as he changed his shoes, his grandmother asked, "You didn't suffer any loss, did you?" Chen Xu was surprised, "Do you know who it is?"
