After I divorced from chaos step

Just as the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is difficult to reconcile, the mother-in-law will never be satisfied with her son-in-law.

This is true of every family.

My family's situation... well, it's more serious.

My husband Ranpo Edogawa was nestled on the sofa, watching cartoons while chewing potato chips, with his legs crossed on the glass coffee table, like an old man.

My mother walked up and down in front of him, sweeping the floor, mopping the table, and trimming green radishes, trying to arouse his shame and make him take the initiative to help.

But such a situation as Jianyan Shengqin would never happen to Luanbu.

He even said to my mother: "Mom, move a little to the left, you are blocking me from watching TV."

My mother was very angry, but she made an agreement with me three chapters ago, and she couldn't scold him, so she ran to the kitchen and scolded me: "Look, what have you done to him! Doesn't he do anything at home?"

I'm making beef burgers for lunch, which is Ranpo's morning premise.

"Luanbu usually goes to work very hard, and I can handle the housework by myself."

Today is Saturday, early in the morning I drove back to my natal home with Luanbu.

When Ranpo and I got married half a year ago, my parents told me that unless there were special circumstances, I would come back every weekend.

Yokohama is not too far from Kamakura, I agree.

But Ranpo often refuses to come back after marriage.Every time I have to quarrel with me, or act coquettishly or playfully, I call his boss Fukuzawa Yukichi, and he will agree.

His relationship with my mother is not very good, in every way.

I stay at home full-time, without a job, and my source of income depends on walking around.

Ranpo is a detective who works for the Armed Detective Agency. He has worked there for many years and is very stable and his salary is not low.

But he spends a lot of money, eats snacks without restraint, and buys something that interests him no matter the price, so we don't have much savings.

My mother complained about this, but every time I hid Luanbu's salary card, he was able to find it quickly.Because he is very smart, he can find the place where I hide my salary card at a glance.

I admired his high IQ, but my mother insisted that he was an idiot.

Once before, she asked Luanbu to go to my grandmother's house in the country to get two ducks. The distance is not far, and it only takes 10 minutes by tram.

But until it got dark, Luanbu didn't come back.

I called my grandma, but my grandma said that Luanbu didn't go, and the phone was turned off when I called him.

I drove all the way to look for it, only to find Luanbu squatting there distressed because the phone was out of battery and got lost by the river.

After Luanbu said that she would not take the tram alone, my mother was so angry that her nose was about to smoke. She thought it was too unreliable for me and Luanbu to get married after only knowing each other for three months.

I'm fine with that.

For me, a peaceful life is the most precious thing in the world.

I casually made up a few nice words about Ranpo, temporarily appeasing my mom, and then quickly got lunch ready.

I made Ranpo’s favorite beef burger, my dad’s favorite fried pork cutlet and miso soup, and my mother is Chinese, so I specially made her favorite braised prawns and Huaiyang stir-fry.

I divided all the dishes into four portions, put them on the plate, and placed the chopsticks and spoons.

At the same time, Luanbu put down the bag of potato chips and walked over.

"Qingxi, my beef burger!"

His voice was very pleasant, and I pointed to the bathroom: "Go and wash your hands first."

Luanbu obediently went to wash his hands, and then jumped over like a rabbit: "Wow, there are prawns."

I was about to speak when my phone vibrated in my pocket.

I took it out and saw it was an email from an unfamiliar number.

The content is very simple, and I also guessed who the person who sent the email was.

[You broke your promise. ]

I didn't reply and just pressed the delete key.

He quickly sent another email.

[What about the information? ]

I replied [burned], and then completely blocked this mailbox number.

He was my former boss, a profiteer.

His company is small, and the total number of people in the core team plus me is still in single digits.

I have worked in his company for ten years, from a part-time job when I was studying to a full-time job after graduation, a full ten years.

When he entered the underground hospital for a major operation, I was forced to pledge my loyalty to him outside the ward, but I did not keep my promise.

I turned around and left the job, destroyed all the files he collected, blocked all contact information about him, and then returned to Japan.

It's been a long time since this happened, and it seems that although his operation has gone through a lot of twists and turns, it should be fine now.

As I was thinking, a peeled shrimp was suddenly thrown into the bowl.

I raised my face, tapped my forehead with the back of my hand in a random way, puffed my cheeks and warned: "I'm going to eat all the other prawns, who told you to keep playing with your phone so you can't eat well."

I was amused by him, put down the phone, and picked up the peeled shrimp with chopsticks: "I accept the criticism, thank you, Chief Ranbu, for peeling such a big shrimp for me."

……

After lunch, my father and I cleaned up the dishes, and my mother picked up her wallet and got ready to go to a nearby chess and card room to play mahjong.

Luanbu also picked up his small backpack, took a small water bottle, and followed my mother to change shoes.

My mother stopped him with her eyes: "Don't follow! You can't even watch."

Luanbu stopped aggrievedly.

My mother closed the door with a "bang".

...Actually, I can't blame my mother for this, she was willing to play with Luanbu at first.

Originally, son-in-law and mother-in-law were not allowed to sit on the same mahjong table, but my mother's poker friends heard that Luanbu would not ride the tram alone, and would get lost for a long time when going out to buy a bottle of soy sauce, so they decided that he was an idiot.

Don't want the fool's money for nothing, so I agreed.

Unexpectedly, Luanbu showed his prowess on the mahjong table, easily defeated everyone, and never lost a game.

But within a few times, my mother and Luanbu were blacklisted by various nearby chess and card rooms.

There are gossip that the son-in-law and mother-in-law are charlatans, and the mother-in-law spreads false news about the son-in-law’s mentally handicapped behavior in order to let people relax their vigilance, and then sit at the same mahjong table and cheat and hand out cards.

Later, my mother and Luanbu paid a high price to re-enter the chess and card room, and in order to avoid suspicion, they played mahjong at separate tables.

My mother was quickly re-accepted by the chess and card room because of her unlucky luck and simple mind, and Luanbu, who had won many battles, was pulled into the blacklist again.

Luanbu was extremely lonely, so he could only move a stool and sit behind my mother to watch her play. If my mother could play decent cards, he would not be so anxious to hit my mother on the head.

Every time he sees my mother playing the wrong cards and gets extremely anxious, the people next to him will remind her: "Yuan Fenghuo, tell your son-in-law to stop talking."

Today, my mother is not allowed to walk around and watch.

Luanbu pursed his mouth, put down his small backpack and small water bottle, and complained to me: "Mom is going to give money to people again, and she doesn't know how to play mahjong at all."

I wiped my hands and brought him a peach: "If you can't play mahjong, Luanbu can go fishing with Dad."

My dad said embarrassedly: "I'm going to visit my old comrade-in-arms today, and it's about to rain, so it's not suitable for fishing. I'm sorry, Luanbu, you can watch TV at home with Qingxi."

"Okay, then dad, be careful on the road."

Ranpo is not very happy, because he has finished watching the cartoons he was chasing, and he has also finished reading the latest mystery novels.

Not long after, the misty sky really started to rain.

Luanbu sat on the floor, resting his chin on his hands and looking outside, the bamboo frightened deer in the courtyard swayed in the rain.

"Qingxi, when will the rain stop?"

"The weather forecast says it's evening."

I lay on the sofa, closed my eyes and prepared to take a nap, crawled over and squeezed my fingers.

"Hey, Qingxi, play cards with me."

I opened my eyes, "I only play 24."

"...Can't you learn something else from me?" Ranbu frowned, "Forget it, 24 is 24, it's better to have fun than not to have fun, but—"

He changed the subject, "The loser will be punished—"

He draws out the ending.

I pondered impassively what punishment he would propose, after all I couldn't play him.

In terms of IQ, I am not even as good as his fingernails.

When Luanbu came to the result, I didn't even see the cards clearly.

He pulled the corner of his mouth, revealing his neat white teeth: "You lost."

"What? I lost so quickly!" I pretended to be shocked to cooperate with him, "Okay, what's the punishment?"

"Hey, wait a minute." Luanbu ran into the bedroom like a wind, and came back after a while, "Every time you lose a game, you have to draw."

I saw him with a brush and erasable ink in his hands.

He dipped a brush into the ink and smeared it all over my face.

a little itchy.

"Do not move."

"……Feel sorry."

Within a few innings, my face was covered by him.

Although I don't know what he painted, but the corners of his mouth may be cat whiskers.

"Huh, I'm done." Luanbu put down his brush and took out his phone to take a picture of me.

I hurriedly stopped, "Don't post the news, it's not good for others to see this kind of photos."

"I don't show it to others, I use it as the background of my phone." After Luanbu took the photo, he showed it to me, "You look like an orange cat."

I saw him write on my face: [Qingxi is super cute] these words.

Sure enough, there are cat whiskers at the corner of the mouth.

"You."

I wiped my face with a wet towel, and heard him say, "Your phone background is also set as my photo."

I tilted my head to look at him, and he was already sitting upright, with his back straight and his smile bright, "Hurry up and take a picture of the most handsome me!"

"Oh." I picked up the phone and pointed it at him, "Okay."

He leaned over to take a look, "Not handsome enough, it's still not as good as mine."

"Photos can never compare to real people, but Luanbu is the most handsome in my eyes."

"What is the background of your phone?" Ranbu saw the figure and the rose garden on my background.

That was the place where I and my ex-boss met for the last time. The world called it the Red Rose Forest, where I took a picture of his back on a long journey.

Dark clouds covered the entire sky, and the snow was blown farther away by the cold wind.The thorns and roses all made way for him, and the magnificent bright red all over the slope seemed to be a precursor to witness the tragic shattering of a strange ideal.

"I don't know, I downloaded it from the Internet..."

I hit the set button and changed the background to a scrambling smiley face.
