Today is Saturday, a rare weekend when I don't have to go to work and NiuNiu doesn't have to go to school.
She slept until 8:30, and then woke up Niu Niu. After helping Niu Niu get dressed, Zhou Xiaoyun made a simple breakfast, which they ate together. By the time they finished cleaning up, it was exactly 9 o'clock.
Zhou Xiaoyun took a look at Niu Niu's skirt and found that it was still the one she bought last year, which had become a bit short.
Children grow up so fast! In my impression, she was still that wrinkled little thing when she was just born, how did she suddenly turn into a lively and tall little girl by her side?
It may be related to genetics. Zhou Xiaoyun is 1.7 meters tall, Li Tianyu is nearly 1.8 meters, and they are both relatively tall. Niu Niu has been taller than her peers since she was a child.
Although she is only six years old, Niu Niu is already 1.2 meters tall and looks like a little girl from afar.
Zhou Xiaoyun planned to buy two new dresses for the children and dress up her daughter beautifully. After telling her daughter, she received a excited hug and passionate kiss from Niu Niu.
Zhou Xiaoyun smiled while secretly sighing, "The poor life has been hard on the child."
She took out her purse and looked at it, only to find that there was more than 100 yuan left. If she wanted to buy a better skirt, it might not be enough. Now the clothes for children are all more expensive than those for adults. A decent dress costs 80 or 90 yuan, so it's hard to buy one trip and bring some more money to buy better clothes.
Thinking so, Zhou Xiaoyun went to the drawer to find her bankbook.
The drawer was opened without any problem, but it was empty, and the deposit slip had vanished into thin air.
Zhou Xiaoyun was flustered and searched everywhere, turning over boxes and cabinets, but no matter where she looked, she couldn't find it. Had a thief stolen it?
No way! Now thieves are so sophisticated, who still goes around stealing passbooks? You don't even know the password, and you can't withdraw money either. Password...
Zhou Xiaoyun suddenly thought of it, could it be that Li Tianyu took it?
The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed that the deposit book was always kept in a fixed place at home. She had also never hidden anything from Li Tianyu, and he knew the password too. Had he taken the deposit book to withdraw money and lend it to Gu Chun?
Zhou Xiaoyun suppressed the anger in her heart and first put Niu Niu to play at the neighbor's house. Then she rode an electric bike straight to her husband's fruit shop.
All the way, they ran several red lights and arrived at the fruit shop. From a distance, they saw Gu Chunlai coming out of the store and walking in the opposite direction. Li Tianyu was standing at the door of the store, talking to an old man.
Zhou Xiaoyun parked her car at the entrance and waited for Li Tianyu to finish his business.
Li Tianyu handed the fruit to the old man, straightened up and caught sight of Zhou Xiaoyun. He was taken aback for a moment, then broke into a warm smile: "How did you get here?"
A guilty conscience!
Zhou Xiaoyun knew Li Tianyu too well, he would only smile so warmly and politely when he had done something wrong. She asked bluntly, "Where is my bankbook?"
"Passbook..."
Li Tianyu looked east and west but didn't look at Zhou Xiaoyun.
"I'm asking you again, where is my deposit book?" Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't hold back her anger.
"I... I took it." Li Tianyu looked embarrassed and had no choice but to admit honestly.
"Bring it here!" Zhou Xiaoyun stretched out her hand.
Looking at the palm in front of him, Li Tianyu slowly took out his deposit book from his body and put it in Zhou Xiaoyun's hand.
Zhou Xiaoyun opened it and found that there were originally 20,100 yuan, but now only 1,000 yuan was left.
She clutched her deposit book tightly and trembled involuntarily, "Where's the money?"
He swallowed his saliva and asked again, "Where's my money?"
Li Tianyu had no choice but to confess: "I lent it to Little Gu."
Zhou Xiaoyun couldn't utter a single word, and stood there like a wooden chicken.
Li Tianyu looked at her and hastily explained: "I promised him, how can I not lend it to him? Besides, he said he would return it soon."
"Why didn't you tell me when you took it?" Zhou Xiaoyun's voice was a little hoarse. She blinked her eyes hard, but found that the dry tears couldn't squeeze out a single drop.
Li Tianyu smiled and said: "I'm not afraid you won't agree with me!"
"You knew I disagreed, yet you still...you...!" Zhou Xiaoyun was furious, her whole body trembling. "I'm your wife, do you still care about my feelings? Do you still care about this family? You..."
Zhou Xiaoyun threw the passbook at Li Tianyu's body, "Take it all away, I can't live this life anymore!"
She didn't even want to ride a bike anymore and turned around to run. In the blink of an eye, tears burst out.
She really can't go on like this anymore.
Is this her fate? Is this the life she wanted?
She had her heart set on escaping the cold home and marrying this man behind her back, but what kind of life did he give her in the end?
A life of poverty, annoyance, triviality and sorrow...
She doesn't want to go on, not even for another day. She now finds it painful to see him at all. The man she once loved so much, the man she once wanted to spend her life with, couldn't withstand the hardships of life.
What is the enemy of love?
Reality of married life is the tomb of love. Poor husband and wife, all things are sad, the former romance under the moon has turned into柴米油盐 (trivial matters), all unrealistic fantasies have been shattered by ruthless reality. Now only left with a heart full of vicissitudes and unspoken resentment.
Yes, it's the deep-seated regret that she can't express, only daring to acknowledge when she can't sleep at midnight...
"Xiao Yun, Xiao Yun, slow down, listen to me..."
Behind her came Li Tianyu's urgent call, but Zhou Xiaoyun didn't slow down, instead she sped up.
If she had the chance to relive her life, she would no longer want to live a poor and difficult life like this, no longer want to live a day of meticulous calculation, no longer want to get married and have children early, no longer want to drop out of school and go to work in a factory, no longer want...
Li Tianyu ran much faster than Zhou Xiaoyun with his long legs, and caught up with her at the intersection. "Xiaoyun, don't be angry, listen to me..."
