The control group dressed as the heroine

Yang Xiaohui counted the money that Zhou Dashan hid under the moisture-proof layer of the closet for a long time, and she counted a total of [-].

Thinking of how he complained to her about having no money these two days, thinking of how he made her contact her son and daughter frantically to get money these two days.Thinking of being blocked by his daughter because he couldn't contact his son, he asked himself to find a way to borrow money from someone.Yang Xiaohui was sure that if she could borrow money this time, she would be able to help him pay for his medical expenses.As for the money matter, her husband will definitely conceal it to the end, and she may not know the financial situation of the family until she dies.

After 20 years of husband and wife, Yang Xiaohui only saw clearly what kind of person the other party was at this moment.She sat in the room holding the money, and finally realized it after a long time.If a man doesn't even love his own children, how can he love others.It's a pity that she didn't understand such a simple truth until now.

"I'm probably a female slave who earns money for him, an old woman who washes and cooks for him." Thinking so in her heart, Yang Xiaohui mechanically dialed her daughter's phone.

Her daughter has blocked her for two days, but as before, she still can't change her habit of finding her daughter when something happens.She dialed it habitually, over and over again.Just when she thought this call would never be dialed.She made more than 20 phone calls, but miraculously got through.

"..."

"Hey Xiaoai! It's Xiaoai, right?" There was silence on the other end of the phone, so Yang Xiaohui could only speak first.

"Mom, what's the matter with you?"

Zhou Xiaoai on the other end of the phone talked to her as usual, as if the fact that she couldn't get through the phone before didn't exist at all.At this moment, Yang Xiaohui didn't care about other things, she immediately said: "Xiao Ai, I just found out that your father actually hid more than 3 private money behind my back. If it wasn't for this time he needed money for surgery, or if I didn't have it for a while If I raise money for his operation, he will definitely keep it from me for the rest of his life."

"So?" Yang Xiaohui was filled with righteous indignation, but compared to her excitement and anger, Zhou Xiaoai on the other end of the phone was relatively calm.She wasn't surprised that Zhou Dashan would hide money, because these days, as long as married men have the habit of hiding private money behind their wives' backs.The only thing she didn't expect was actually this amount.

"So" Yang Xiaohui didn't understand what her daughter meant. She didn't understand why her daughter would give her such a reaction after she said so much.So she immediately asked back, confused.

"So what are you going to do? Mom, what is the purpose of you calling me?" Zhou Xiaoai, who was in the ice market, was accompanying Guo Ying to look at the small lanterns at the scenic spot. She was reaching out to touch the lanterns on the booth, and wanted to choose one carefully. , and then buy it back.But now hearing Zhou's mother's voice, she finally withdrew her hand and finally stood up slowly.

Because Xiao Ai, who was picking lanterns together, stood up, Guo Ying, who was squatting on the booth, also stood up subconsciously.

"Choose one for me!" Zhou's mother didn't answer immediately, so Zhou Xiaoai held her phone and said something to Guo Ying, and then immediately walked to a place where there were few people.

"Okay then!" Guo Ying had no objection, she squatted down to choose the lantern that the two of them were going to take, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Ai who was talking.

"Xiao Ai, what do you think mom should do?" Because of her daughter's inquiry, Yang Xiaohui was at a loss, and suddenly became confused.

"Mom, you have to think about it yourself. As for my opinion, I have already told you."

"I—" Yang Xiaohui knew what her daughter meant, and she said slowly after a long time, "But, your father will not agree to a divorce."

"This kind of thing is beyond his control. If he doesn't agree, you can sue for divorce."

"I've heard before that even if you sue for divorce, the court will generally not decide."

"The court generally adopts the attitude of persuading the first time for divorce. But if the party files for divorce again after half a year, the court will definitely decide at that time."

"But I'm afraid—"

"If you are afraid of my dad and dare not talk about it face to face with him, then don't talk about it, you just leave. Mom, I will book you a ticket, or you can come to me now. Dad is not behind your back Hiding private money? If you feel uncomfortable, you can take all his money away. Of course, if you think this is wrong, you can leave him a little medical expenses and living expenses, and you take all the rest. "

Zhou Xiaoai tried hard to persuade, and worked hard to make suggestions.But after Zhou Xiaoai mentioned the medical expenses, Yang Xiaohui's heart softened all of a sudden.

"Xiao Ai, let's not talk about it. Your father will have an operation in the next two days, and the doctor was still asking for medical expenses just now. I will send it over first."

The phone was hung up by the other party with a snap, and Zhou Xiaoai, who was standing in the crowd, was convinced. For the first time, she had the urge to curse.

"What's the matter with your house?" Guo Ying walked over with two small palace lanterns. Seeing that her face was very ugly, she finally couldn't help asking.

"My dad gambles all the year round. Not only does he gamble, he also has a bad temper. Not only does he have a bad temper, he also has no sense of responsibility." Zhou Xiaoai took the small palace lantern from her hand, and couldn't help complaining as she walked up.

She told Guo Ying about the family affairs, and finally said in disbelief: "My mother even found out that my father hid private money behind her back, and even hid a lot of it. I can tell that this time she It's really sad and desperate. She called me and I tried my best to help her. But when I talked about the divorce, her attitude changed. In the end, I suggested that she take the money now After leaving, I also said that if she felt that this was a bit too much, she could leave some medical expenses and living expenses for my dad. As soon as I mentioned this, I reminded her instead. She immediately remembered her husband in the hospital and immediately hung up on me phone call, and immediately ran to the hospital to pay the medical bills.”

Zhou Xiaoai was furious, and Guo Ying listened from the perspective of a bystander.Finally, she looked at the angry Xiao Ai, and pulled Xiao Ai to a small coffee shop on the street.

"Order something first, don't be angry, let's talk slowly." She persuaded the angry Xiao Ai, and then gave Xiao Ai the menu given by the clerk.

Xiao Ai took the menu, ordered a milk tea and a strawberry cake, and then handed the menu to Guo Ying.Guo Ying added two more items, and then handed over the menu to the waiting clerk.

When the clerk was preparing things, Guo Ying thought about it carefully, and then said, "Xiao Ai, do you know the real reason why your mother doesn't want to leave your father?"

Zhou Xiaoai shook her head: "I don't know, I feel like I can't understand my mother at all now. I don't know how she persisted for so many years. If I could not persist for a month. I actually It's quite realistic, I'm with someone, either I like her person, or I want her condition. But whether it's like or condition, my goal is to live better and better, I can't put My own life is like hers. If I am like my mother, I would rather be single."

Zhou Xiaoai gave up on Guo Ying, and Guo Ying's heart suddenly twitched when she heard her words.She looked at Xiao Ai, tried to ignore the strangeness in her heart, and then continued: "In fact, everyone is very realistic, whether it is you and me, or our parents, everyone is very realistic. But apart from reality, at their age, because Age is in front of me, so I have a lot of worries and considerations. I don’t know the age of my aunt, but no matter what, she must be 40 years old. In our country, people who are 45 and ten years old are ready to be grandma At the same time, it also means that they are not young anymore. When people get old, they think a lot. Just like your father, he hides the little money for his own future. People's life is doomed to life, old age, sickness and death Yes, so he is now thinking about his old age and his secret reserve for illness. Your father is like this, but do you think your mother is not like this? "

"..." Zhou Xiaoai didn't speak. She looked up at Guo Ying and listened to her quietly.

When the waiter came to serve something, Guo Ying paused.After the waiter finished serving everything they ordered, Guo Ying pushed the little strawberry cake in front of her to Xiao Ai, and continued: "Your father is obviously a typical egoist. According to what you said, he is obviously not very He trusts you and your brother, he doesn't even trust your mother. He thinks about himself in everything. In order to make himself better, he behaves almost terrible. He hides so much money from him, but he creates a kind of life for his family. It looks like the family has no money. He obviously thinks that money is more reliable than his family, his wife and children. But your mother, your mother’s consideration is actually the future. Generally, people in their 50s and 20s dare not toss and go out. The established circle. You are here to encourage your parents to divorce. You think your mother will definitely live better without your father. But she doesn’t necessarily think so. No matter how bad your father is, your mother has lived with him for [-] years after all. After all, you know him. If you let her divorce, she will think about how to live her life after divorce. She will also think about whether she should find another man after divorce. What if it’s not as good as the current one?”

"I--"

"You must think that you can take care of your mother in the future. She doesn't necessarily need a man. But Xiao Ai, people think differently. Your mother and my mother have valued marriage all their lives. They have all arrived At this age, I naturally hope to be a young couple with our father. You will take care of your mother in the future, but in her heart, she may not think that you will be reliable. At this time, what she thinks is still Her own husband. She feels that she is taking good care of her husband and taking good care of her husband now. When they get old and sick one day, their husbands will definitely take care of them as hard as they do. They think about it Not the usual times, but what they consider critical moments. You feel like your dad is irresponsible, leaving your mom toil all day. But your mom only sees things when her husband can help her drive, carry boxes, pick up goods, fix light bulbs You feel that your father treats your mother badly, but what your mother thinks is that maybe he can cook me a meal once in a while when I get sick. If she can't do it anymore, your father can help her, and even take care of her in turn."

"But the question is is it possible? With my father's personality, can my mother wait for his care? Is it worth it?" Guo Ying said a lot, and Zhou Xiaoai actually thought about it.But she still has a headache, and she still thinks it's best for Zhou's mother to separate from Zhou Dashan.

"Then, Xiao Ai, please persuade your mother. Let your mother test your father a little bit." Seeing her struggling, Guo Ying couldn't stand it anymore, and finally leaned down and whispered.

"Trying what?" Seeing her movements, Xiao Ai subconsciously leaned over.

"Have you heard of Alzheimer's?"

Guo Ying whispered her thoughts, just hearing this word, Zhou Xiaoai quickly reacted: "You want my mother to pretend to be Alzheimer's, and then try my father"

"Yes!" Guo Ying straightened up slowly, and she took a small coffee spoon and slowly stirred up the white pattern in the coffee: "Your mother just wants to be good to your father once in a while, or just want to have a baby in the future." Wife, when she is old and sick, can you take care of her a little bit, can you not dislike her? In this case, why not let her try now. You let her be sick for three months, if In the past three months, your mother often lost everything, forgetting this and that. At that time, you can’t sell vegetables, you can’t settle accounts, you often forget to put salt in your cooking, and you can’t wash your clothes clean. Look at your father What is the reaction? If he can take your mother to the doctor immediately after discovering your mother’s reaction. Then he can take care of all the housework at home and start to learn to take care of your mother. Then Xiaoai, you shouldn’t Persuading your parents to divorce. But—”

"But if my mother only suffers from mild Alzheimer's disease, just can't sell vegetables, but can't do housework well. At this time, if my dad complains, if he dislikes my mother. If he can't stand my mother is young I started to get sick at a young age, then—" Thinking of Zhou Dashan usually doing nothing at home, except for picking up goods, leaving everything to Zhou's mother all day long.Zhou Xiaoai's eyes changed suddenly, she put down the cup in her hand, and immediately reached for her mobile phone.

"Wait a minute!" Guo Ying stretched out her hand, and then grabbed Zhou Xiaoai: "Wait first, don't go to your mother right away about this matter. Your mother is worried about your father now, so she may not be in the mood to listen. You. Wait, wait until your dad finishes the operation. After the operation, people who have undergone the operation will usually be subconsciously irritable because of the hospital environment and physical pain. Wait for your dad to tell your mom for two days Temper, when your mother is in a bad mood again and calls you again, you can tell her again. At that time, you can talk about it carefully, don't mention divorce or not. Just say, this is just a try, try your father Is it the kind of person who can be relied on? You say it well, as long as you calm down and give good advice, your mother will be willing to try it. If she still hesitates at that time, you can say that if the result of her trial is good, you will give it a try. Find a way to help her find your elder brother. In this case, the possibility that your mother will listen to you will be greatly improved."

"Okay!" Zhou Xiaoai nodded and followed Guo Ying's suggestion.She thought about how to tell Zhou's mother about this matter, but when she looked back, she realized that Guo Ying came up with this idea almost without thinking, and came up with it all at once.In an instant, Zhou Xiaoai suddenly felt a strange discomfort of being completely pushed aside by the other party, who was far inferior to Guo Ying in terms of scheming and IQ.
