On the day of the blind date, CEO Qianyi pulled me to get the certificate.

"I'll order."

Lin Qian was most active when eating.

I saw her picking up the menu on the table and starting to order.

Wen Yan and Lin Qian are regular customers of this Hakka restaurant, and it is always their last choice when they don't know what to eat.

“Hand-shredded salt-baked chicken, Hakka stuffed tofu, signature native pig soup, and Hakka bitter bamboo shoots in a pot.”

These are all must-order signature dishes. Wen Yan and Lin Qian eat them often and never get tired of them.

"Another piece of stir-fried beef."

Wen Yan reminded Lin Qian that she remembered that Weiwei loved spicy food, but for the sake of her children and because her mother-in-law didn't eat spicy food, she almost never cooked spicy dishes at home.

"Okay, by the way, we have to order some minced pork and steamed eggs for our Pan'er."

Lin Qian smiled and pinched Cui Paner's chubby face.

What a cute child, well-behaved and sensible. I don't know why Wen Xiangwei's mother-in-law dislikes Pan'er and Nannan so much. What's wrong with it being a girl.

Girls are the cutest and most healing creatures in the world.

After placing the order, the three adults chatted casually.

"Weiwei, it's a rare trip. We'll go upstairs for a beauty treatment after dinner. My friend gave me a beauty card some time ago. It's about to expire. Don't waste it."

Wen Yan looked at Wen Xiangwei's haggard face, with a flash of distress in his eyes.

Knowing that her sister didn't want her to spend money randomly, Wen Yan directly made an excuse so that she could accept it.

"I'll forget it. My skin is already like this. There's no need to waste it. You can just take care of it."

Wen Xiangwei lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

A mother of two children, at the age of twenty-seven, her skin is already in her thirties. In the past, she would never have allowed such a thing to happen.

Wen Xiangwei used to be a person who loved beauty and life, but now her family's trivial matters have made her lose the time to be kind to herself. Such days are dull and boring at a glance.

"Weiwei, you're here already. Besides, your sister Yan didn't buy this beauty card with her money, and it's about to expire. Even if she and I use it, we can't use it up, so we can just go together."

Lin Qian opened her mouth to persuade Wen Xiangwei.

Of course she knew that the beauty card Wen Yan was talking about was the money she had just charged two days ago.

Wen Yan and Lin Qian are never soft-hearted in treating themselves well. Isn't making money just to please themselves?

At the same time, he also knew her intentions.

"Emm, okay, I'll go with you." Wen Xiangwei finally nodded.

"That's right."

When Wen Yan and Lin Qian saw Wen Xiangwei nodding, they looked at each other and smiled in tacit agreement.

The ordered dishes were served one after another.

"Eat, eat, this Hakka food tastes pretty good, Weiwei, give it a try."

Wen Yan greeted Wen Xiangwei, and then started to pick up vegetables for Cui Pan'er.

In the past, when Wen Xiangwei brought her children out to get together with the two of them, either Wen Yan would take care of the children, or Lin Qian would take care of the children. In short, Wen Xiangwei would not have to worry about it, and it was rare for her to rest empty-handed while being busy.

Even though they have not yet become mothers, they can relate to it.

Mothers are really the best to their children in the world, and they are also the ones who do the most for their children.

"Well, it's delicious."

Wen Xiangwei put a piece of salt-baked chicken into her mouth and nodded with satisfaction.

It was much tastier than what she made.

Xu Zhaodi likes salt-baked chicken and would ask Wen Xiangwei to learn how to cook it for her.

As long as it is something her mother-in-law wants to eat, she must learn to cook it for her mother-in-law.

Sometimes when she doesn't do it, Cui Hongda will nag her in her ear, "It's not easy for my mother to raise me. Now she is enjoying a comfortable life and is getting older. It's rare that she has a good appetite now and can still eat. We are sons." It would be nice for a daughter-in-law to satisfy her, that is how filial she is."

The meal lasted for a long time, and everyone tacitly understood what was going on with the Cui family.

Afterwards, the three adults took their children to the beauty shop upstairs.

There happened to be a room for three people. Wen Yan and Lin Qian took Wen Xiangwei to change into clothes and lie down in it.

Cui Pan'er was very well-behaved, sitting next to her without making any noise, and she even tried to find ways to make her sister laugh.

"Weiwei, how are you? Are you comfortable?"

Lin Qian, who was sitting outside, closed her eyes and enjoyed the massage techniques in the shop.

"Hmm, since I gave birth to Pan'er, I have never been to a beauty salon for treatment. I have almost forgotten what it feels like."

Wen Xiangwei recalled the past. When they first got married, Cui Hongda was very willing to spend money on her.

There is at least one beauty treatment every week, and there is no need to cook. Cui Hongda either cooks three meals a day or goes out to restaurants.

Life was really cool at that time.

But since she gave birth to Pan'er and her mother-in-law came to live with her, her life has plummeted. She is no longer the little sweet wife Cui Hongda holds in his hands for fear of falling, or holds her in her mouth for fear of melting. Instead, she is a woman who works hard for her family without complaining. A housewife who works 24 hours a day.

I don't know since when, she was willing to be bound by this family.

Maybe it’s the first time a child calls mom.

I thought about my increasingly sallow and dull skin as a result of taking care of my family all day long and no time to take care of it. I thought about the dark circles under my eyes caused by staying up late to take care of the children. I thought about the clothes I once wore in size XS that were getting farther and farther away from me.

Thinking of this, Wen Xiangwei's tears fell down along with the hot air emitted by the steamer.

No one knew she cried.

Her tears had become worthless a long time ago.

I have cried so many times that I no longer know how sad it feels.

"Weiwei, if you ask me, don't save money for your Cui Hongda, be kind to yourself, occasionally buy a few sets of suitable skin care products, occasionally buy a few pieces of well-fitting clothes, occasionally do beauty treatments, in short, spend what you should. Spend it, otherwise if you help him save money, he will spend it on women outside, which will not be worth the gain."

Lin Qian has watched a lot of these bloody dramas. The first wife devoted all her efforts to the beautiful construction of the family, but in the end everything was in vain. Her husband cheated and transferred all the property. In the end, the first wife got nothing, not even a handful of shit. Children who pee out of their urine will not get custody.

If you encounter a family that favors sons over daughters, the man may not want a girl, and the woman may still have a chance to get custody.

Lin Qian really didn't want this to happen. It would be so pitiful for the woman and so unfair.

Therefore, she sincerely hopes that her married friends can be happy forever.

Wen Xiangwei did not tell Lin Qian and Wen Yan that Cui Hongda did not give her living expenses this month.

The reason Cui Hongda gave was that the company's cash flow was tight recently and there was no money to pay them wages, but they would be paid together with next month's wages.

Wen Xiangwei believed it to be true.

Therefore, this month's living expenses were temporarily withdrawn from the bank card Wen Yan gave her.

When Wen Xiangwei withdrew the money, she thought that the money was owed first, and she would make up for it next month when Cui Hongda paid two months' salary.

Little did she know that Cui Hongda had lied to her.
