Leaving her weird mother-in-law and husband, she became a wealthy woman on her own

Manxian spent a little more than a day at home and was able to relax to some extent.

She felt that there was really no place better than her own home. The food her mother cooked was especially delicious, and she could eat as she pleased. No matter how she ate, no one would dislike her, and she didn't have to accept anyone's judgmental gaze.

Comfortable times are always short, and in the blink of an eye it was the afternoon of the 5th.

Sijun booked train tickets for Manxian and himself in advance, and personally went to Manxian's house to pick her up. The two of them set off on their journey home together.

Just as Manxian expected, Sijun's mother did not return with them. She wanted to stay at home for two more days.

"I knew your mother would mind my early return. In fact, she also minds you returning with me. She hopes you can rest at home for two more days."

Sijun quickly waved his hands and explained: "No! She hasn't been feeling well recently, so she needs to rest for a while. Also, she supports me going back with you. This way I can take care of you a little more."

Man Xian sighed and said, "Since she came to live with us, she hasn't felt well for a single day. I think she is suffering from a mental illness. To be honest, I really have no way to help her."

"Ah... I don't know what to say. Just pay some attention to her, or show some concern... She will really buy into that." Sijun said helplessly in a very low voice, obviously lacking in confidence.

Man Xian said helplessly: "Sijun, your mother is not that simple. There are many things in her heart that you and I cannot guess. My feelings are very accurate, especially my feelings about people. If the person is easy to get close to, I will naturally want to talk and communicate with him/her. But if the other person is not easy to get close to, my instinct will tell me that I must stay away from him/her. To be honest, it feels like there is a high, big and thick wall between me and your mother. When I see her, I feel unnatural all over. I really have no way..."

Sijun didn't say anything else, because to be honest, he and his mother didn't have much in common. After all, he grew up with his father and grandparents, and was a stranger to his mother. Because he didn't know his mother well, he didn't have the confidence to persuade Manxian.

Sijun and Manxian’s hometown is relatively close to where they work, and it only takes less than half an hour to get there by train.

The two got off the train, and Sijun was considering whether to take the bus or Didi.

Man Xian said, "Let's take the bus today. I've been resting at home these past two days, eating well and sleeping well. I'm in good shape now, so let's take the bus and save some money."

After hearing his wife's words, Sijun immediately took his luggage and took Manxian to the bus stop next to the high-speed railway station to wait for the bus.

"You sit down and wait. The bus won't leave soon." Sijun pointed to the public seats at the bus stop and said to Manxian.

"No, I'll stand. That seat is so dirty..." Man Xian said with a look of disgust. "It's exposed to the wind and sun every day, and so many people have sat on it."

"Alas...you...you must be unhappy if someone says you have mysophobia. Now you have a big belly, but you still have to take a shower every day. And in these public places, you are afraid of dirt and uncleanliness. Why do you work so hard?" Sijun said.

"You have to understand that this is an epidemic period! Taking a shower, wearing a mask when going out, and paying attention to hygiene and cleanliness are the basics. Aren't you afraid that I will be infected with the new coronavirus and affect the baby in my belly!!" Man Xian said righteously.

"Sijun! I'm not kidding you! It's not enough for me to be careful by myself, you and your mother too! Especially your mother! I think she has many unhygienic habits. If any of you get infected, what will happen to me! What about the baby! You must take it seriously! You must also talk to your mother! I'm telling you this seriously! Don't ignore my words! Do you understand?"

"Okay! Okay! I understand! I'm sorry, I didn't think about it so carefully." Sijun nodded quickly.

The two people waited for nearly twenty minutes before the bus finally left.

After returning to the rented house, Man Xian said, "Pack your things. I'm going to the office to have dinner and then go to the department."

"I'll take you there, and we'll have dinner together tonight."

"No!" Man Xian said firmly. "I want to have a quiet dinner alone and think about some things carefully. I may have to talk to the director tonight. I need to think carefully about how to say it, and I need to go over my plan carefully again."

"Okay then. I'll accompany you to the hospital entrance, then you can go in and have dinner by yourself, and I'll come back by myself."

"Okay." Man Xian nodded.

Alone in the hospital cafeteria, Man Xian chewed her dinner slowly.

She was still a little nervous and confused, and she didn't know whether her plan would succeed.

The shift starts at eight o'clock in the evening, and Man Xian is anxiously waiting for messages from her colleagues on duty.

Fortunately, this colleague was really helpful. At just seven o'clock, she received a WeChat message from him: The director is in the office. If you want to see him, you can come over right away.

Man Xian saw the message and rushed to the department as quickly as possible.

The department was almost empty, with only two technicians on duty and the doctor on duty.

Man Xian smiled and nodded to her to express her gratitude.

As usual, Director Cao spends his holidays in the department, usually busy with work in the office.

She came to the door of Director Cao's office and saw a light on inside through the crack in the door.

She knocked on the door carefully, and the director inside said: Come in!

Manxian pushed the door open and walked in. Director Cao looked up and said, "Manxian, it's you! Didn't you go home during the National Day holiday?"

"Hello, teacher. I went home a few days ago, and came to see you today."

"Oh? You came to see me specially? What's the important matter? Tell me."

"I came to you just to ask you, our paper will be formally submitted to the magazine next month. Can you tell Senior Brother to take advantage of the two days of vacation to take a look at it for me and give me some guidance?"

"Oh, oh, right. You told me about this a few days ago. Okay, I'll tell him and see if he's free these two days to help you take a look."

"Thank you, teacher. Actually, I just want to tell you in person how sincere I am about writing the paper, and I really want to get your guidance."

"Okay, Manxian, I understand what you mean. I'll tell him and ask him to take time to show it to you. But...Manxian, you also have to understand that Xiao Xing is also very busy. He helps me take care of many things here. So, I can ask him to do his best to help you, but it still depends on you."

"Okay, okay, teacher, I understand. I came all the way here from my hometown, and I don't expect you to help me much. I'll be happy as long as you can give me some direction."

Director Cao immediately called Senior Brother Man Xian.

Man Xian was secretly happy in her heart.

The plan has successfully taken another step forward!
