Chapter 524: Perfection = Try More
It would have been better if Song Ningwei didn't speak. As soon as these comforting words were spoken, Gu Xuemei, who had not yet recovered, was furious.
Gu Xuemei covered her heart and fell on the sofa, feeling so painful that she couldn't make a sound. Song Ningwei hurriedly picked her up and went out, taking her to the hospital. Even the child was forgotten at home. Fortunately, Jingyu was already an older child in the fourth grade of elementary school at this time. Although she was frightened, she knew not to run around and cause trouble to the adults, so she called her grandparents and grandpa respectively to explain the situation.
The elderly soldiers from the two families were divided into two groups, one to take care of the children and the other to the hospital to check on the situation.
There is nothing wrong with the examination results. It is just caused by excessive mood swings. If you take a good rest, you will be fine.
After that, Gu Xuemei was really depressed for a while and lay in bed for a long time. She really couldn't figure out how her good life ended up like this.
When Gu Xuelan and Yuan Lianyun came to see her, she asked: "Am I in trouble? Why can't God see good things in me?" Every time, it seems that life is getting better. Yes, if you take another step forward, you will fall into a pit.
Yuan Lianyun thought, there is no destiny or disaster in this world. The "result" we get today is the "cause" planted the day before. But she is the sister-in-law, so she can't speak too straightforwardly: " Xuemei, don’t think so wildly. It’s all feudal superstition and cannot be trusted. Your most important task now is Just take good care of your body and everything will be fine.”
As she spoke, Gu Xuemei started to cry: “How can I get better? How can I get better again?” It's..." She felt that after this incident, her spirit was almost destroyed.
Yuan Lianyun advised her: "Think about Jingyu, if you don't cheer up, what will happen to the child?"
Gu Xuemei still cried.
“Why are you crying!” Gu Xuelan put the fruit plate on the bedside table with a click and asked her, “Can’t you still figure out how your life ended up like this?”
Gu Xuemei stopped crying and looked at her.
Gu Xuelan made it clear: "Think about the choices you have made every step of the way over the years. Back then, your parents asked you to study hard, but you didn't study, and instead secretly followed others to do business. Yes, that's right, you were indeed successful at that time, and thanks to you, grandma's medical expenses were settled. Then we encountered the contract, right? But your friend named Meixia didn't help you chase the money. Are you back? Generally speaking, you have no losses. How much impact can this have on you, so that you don’t dare to step out of the house again? It’s okay if you don’t go out. Dad wants you to go back to school. , you are too shameless to refuse to go, okay, just open a store in our town, this is pretty good, isn’t it? I don’t think any of the girls about your age from all over the country were as high-spirited as you, it’s better for you, don’t want to I am thinking about how to take my career to the next level, and I have to talk about getting married..."
Gu Xuelan has not been a teacher for nothing in these years. She has developed a very sharp tongue in class, and she said a lot of things, He didn't even spare a breath, leaving Gu Xuemei unable to find a chance to refute.
Hearing this, Gu Xuemei couldn't hold it in any longer: "What do you mean I don't want to have a career but have to get married? You and your eldest brother are both married, so why can't I get married? Why?"
"Only because of him Song Ningwei is not a good match for you!" Gu Xuelan responded to her, "Everyone in the family advised you to be cautious, but your parents were different. I am interested in this marriage. Mom even analyzed with you what kind of situation you will face once you get married, but you didn’t listen and insisted on getting married..."
Gu Xuemei interrupted her loudly again: "What's wrong if I'm about to get married? I don't have any education, so I can't marry a college student?"
"Ha," Gu Xuelan He gave a short laugh, "Have you finally admitted it? Look, this is the college student you married! What is his use? Besides dragging you down, what else can he do? He took care of Jingyu when you were pregnant Did he take care of you when you were in confinement? Were all the three crises you encountered after marriage thanks to him? "
The first time was stocks, and the second time was wine. Although the wine business was finally done after Gu Xuemei approved it, Gu Xuelan just felt that if Song Ningwei didn’t want to do it, her sister wouldn’t Instead of having this idea, I will be able to raise my baby at home with peace of mind, and will not end up being deceived again. The third crisis was an unexpected miscarriage caused by wine. The baby we had finally hoped for was lost. Moreover, miscarriage is very harmful to the body! He, Song Ningwei, actually said "Don't take it too seriously" so lightly. He knew that the child was not lost from his body and he was not the one who was injured, so he could not take it to heart.
Gu Xuelan became angry just thinking about it and felt worthless for her sister.
Gu Xuemei remained silent.
Gu Xuelan continued: "I told you before we got married, and my mother also told you that marriage is a big deal. You can't just look at people by their surface. You can't ignore one of his advantages because of them. Other shortcomings. Now that you have suffered, haven’t you seen it clearly? Don’t talk about God’s fate in man-made things. Instead of complaining to God in despair, think about what to do next. In my opinion, it is better to divorce. There is no need for this kind of marriage to continue. If he does something wrong again in the future, you What should I do? Are you going to fall into the pit again and again?"
Gu Xuemei has nothing else to do? Upon hearing this, her whole body was about to explode when she mentioned divorce, but she had never thought about divorce: "Divorce? Sister, are you and your sister-in-law here to see me, or are you here to make me unhappy? You would rather demolish ten temples than destroy one marriage, but you actually want me to divorce? Jingyu is still so young, what will happen if Ning Wei and I divorce her? What do you think of me? Where do I put my face when I go out?”
“It’s my face again, right?” Gu Xuelan reached out to poke her forehead. She really didn’t know what her sister was thinking. What are they, "Is your face more important or your real life more important? Do you live your life for others to see?"
Yuan Lianyun quickly stood up and pulled Gu Xuelan. Gu Xuemei picked up the pillow next to her and threw it at Gu Xuelan: "Get out! I don't want to see you-"
Gu Xuelan wanted to say something more, but Yuan was Lian Yun dragged her out of the bedroom and closed the door: "Say less, say less, she is still recuperating."
Gu Xuelan pointed to the bedroom door, her hands on it. Shaking and angry: "Sister-in-law, look at her look like that!"
"I know," Yuan Lianyun pulled Gu Xuelan to sit on the sofa in the living room, "Fortunately, Song Ningwei and Jingyu are not at home. Otherwise, if they hear you advising for divorce here, they will treat you as an enemy?"
Jingyu is at school, while Song Ningwei is at the store. Gu Xuemei has been recuperating at home these days. Song Ningwei sent Jingyu to school and went to the store to look at the store. Of course, there was no need for him to look at it. Mother Song was always there. He could only help with cleaning and collect money. Or go to the warehouse to get something.
Gu Xuelan sighed: "I just blurted out because I was so angry that I didn't think much about it."
"I can't say this again in the future." Yuan Lianyun advised. In fact, she didn't think highly of Gu Xuemei and Song Ningwei either. Marriage, but Leng Nuan knew about it, and Gu Xuemei and Song Ningwei were obviously still in love. Gu Xuelan's words at this time had no other effect except making Gu Xuemei feel even more uncomfortable.
Gu Xuelan understood the truth, but Yuan Lianyun didn't say much. After the two sisters calmed down, she acted as a peacemaker and asked her sister to apologize to her sister. This matter was in the past.
Gu Xuelan's words still had a certain impact on Gu Xuemei. This influence made her start to re-examine Song Ningwei. Gradually, she discovered that apart from the aura of academic qualifications, he seemed to be no different from ordinary people. , no, sometimes even worse than ordinary people.
If you don’t compare with others, just compare with your brother-in-law Liu Nanshan. Regardless of your academic qualifications, Gu Xuemei found that Song Ningwei was really inferior to her brother-in-law Liu Nanshan in everything.
Don't talk about anything else, just talk about things in the store. Liu Nanshan can run the fruit store very well by himself. Gu Xuemei has never heard of any quarrels between him and customers, but Song Ningwei is different. He only needs to go to the store. , at least one customer will leave unhappy that day.
Everything really cannot be compared. The more they compare, the more discouraged Gu Xuemei becomes. At the same time, she also realized that she really couldn't be depressed any longer, otherwise the reputation of the store she had worked so hard to open would be ruined for Song Ningwei.
After Gu Xuemei returned to the store, she did not let Song Ningwei pass by and asked him to concentrate on "mainly" at home. He was not a college student. One of his few advantages was that he studied well, so he was responsible for keeping an eye on it. Jingyu should study. It is best to train Jingyu to be a college student, so that she will not have the same lack of judgment when encountering problems in the future.
Song Ningwei really stayed at home. After Jingyu went to junior high school and the family's savings increased, he couldn't stay any longer and wanted to "make a difference" again.
Gu Xuemei didn't believe anything he said this time, so she held the money tightly in her hands, not giving him any chance to take advantage of it.
Song Ningwei had no choice but to go to his parents for support, and Song's mother and father were even less likely to support him. He then went to find his elder brother Gu Xuehui, thinking that if no one supported him, if his idea was feasible and his elder brother thought it was feasible, would he be able to get support?
As a result, Gu Xuehui also rejected it.
Gu Xuehui told him not to mess around. If he really didn't want to stay at home, he should find a job and work honestly. At least he would get a fixed salary.
Not long after that, Song Ningwei went to work, in a particularly quiet department of Gu Xuehui's unit.
What Gu Xuehui said to Gu Xuemei was: "Let him go and take care of his retirement in advance. Don't think about anything. Just work peacefully until retirement." However, in less than a year, there was a case of giving gifts that irritated the leadership. Song Ningwei was severely complained to by his immediate superiors in front of Gu Xuehui about the backbone matter. All major and minor matters were discussed together, and Gu Xuehui drove Song Ningwei away in anger.
After learning about this, Gu Xuemei suspected that Song Ningwei had something wrong with his mind. She felt that he had cheated her by not telling her, and had caused her elder brother to lose face, so she had a big quarrel with him.
From then on, Gu Xuemei’s filter on Song Ningwei was completely shattered. She looked at the person in front of her who had gained a belly and had a receding hairline. She scolded him until he shrank in the corner of the sofa. The silent man thought to himself, why did she get together with him in the first place? Oh, it's the college diploma in his hand. She suddenly remembered what Gu Xuelan once said to persuade her not to get married. Gu Xuelan said: "Don't blind your eyes."
Gu Xuemei stayed up all night that day. She kept her eyes open until dawn, thinking about what had happened in the past few years. After going through everything, she thought, "A woman can hold up half the sky." She, Gu Xuemei, holds up not half the sky, but the whole sky for her family. With this ability, she couldn't do anything well, and she ended up living like this. Yes, everything her sister said was right. This was her own choice. It seemed that at every turning point, she made the wrong choice...
In the days to come, until Song Jingyu’s college entrance examination, this There was never a peaceful day at home. Because Gu Xuemei's mood towards Song Ningwei has changed and she feels that he doesn't like him in any way. If she doesn't like him, she will quarrel with Song Ningwei. As for Song Ningwei, he had no idea what he had done wrong to make his wife unhappy, and he didn't dare to retaliate when he was scolded. He just sat on the sofa with his head drooped like a quail, waiting for Gu Xuemei to finish scolding her and calm down. Often when Gu Xuemei sees him like this, her anger starts to rise again.
The most serious quarrel between the two was when Song Jingyu was in her senior year of high school. This time it wasn't Gu Xuemei who scolded Song Ningwei unilaterally. It was probably something she said that really hurt Song Ningwei. Song Ningwei finally got up and "resisted" once. He locked himself in the kitchen and smashed all the pots and dishes in it. Then he slammed the door and went back to his parents' house.
Gu Xuemei shouted from behind: "If you dare to step out of this family, I will divorce you!"
Song Ningwei left anyway.
Both families have tried to persuade these two people many times, especially Yuan Lianyun and Gu Xuelan.
The second time Gu Xuelan persuaded Gu Xuemei to divorce was after Song Ningwei was fired by Gu Xuehui's employer, but Gu Xuemei still didn't want to leave. Face issues account for a certain proportion, children account for a certain proportion, and the most important part are Song Ningwei's parents. The two old people were really kind to her, no worse than her biological parents. If Song's mother cried again, she would be helpless. What's more, she actually still has feelings for Song Ningwei.
They will not leave, but they will quarrel every day. Gu Xuelan advised Gu Xuemei: "Since you don't plan to leave, then live your life peacefully. Don't have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. It's still you who picks things up unilaterally." Scold him. Don’t you know that Jingyu hides away from me when you have a fight? You said you would not divorce for the sake of your children, but look at the current situation, is it beneficial or harmful to the growth of your children?”
After hearing this, Gu Xuemei restrained herself a lot, but sometimes she couldn't control it. She couldn't let the anger out and felt uncomfortable, so she started arguing again.
Of course, I didn’t leave this time.
The two quarreled, and no one took care of the child. Song Jingyu ran away from home.
This frightened both families and they hurried out to look for it. Fortunately, Song Jingyu didn't have any bad thoughts. She just wanted to go out for a breather. If she went to her second aunt's house, her parents would be able to get her back immediately, so she caught the last bus at night and went to her uncle's house in the city.
From then on, the relationship between Gu Xuemei and Song Ningwei really stopped. Gu Xuemei didn't know what Song Ningwei was thinking, and she didn't bother to know. Anyway, she just made do. She was afraid that she would get divorced and become lonely when she got old.
As time goes by, I really get old. Life is so easy, and I really get over it.
The three of them turned a street and walked and chatted. They had already walked out of the side entrance of the park in the middle of the street and returned to Wutong Avenue.
Gu Xuemei is still regretting: "Sister, to be honest, I wish I had listened to you. Just before the most critical turning point, if I could not be so embarrassed, the rest of my life would probably be better. It would be very different. Or, if I could be like you, If you plan for yourself from the beginning and have a goal, you may not experience those bad things."
Gu Xuemei has always envied Gu Xuelan and envied her and her brother-in-law's lifelong love. I have never blushed before, and I am even more envious of her smoothness.
There was a time when Gu Xuemei felt that Gu Xuelan had no future, even though she was admitted to university, and she had to come back even if she had the chance to stay in the province. After getting married, I was able to buy a house in the city and live in the city despite my hard work, but I didn't seek advancement at all and chose to stay in the town.
Later, she gradually understood that Gu Xuelan had this temperament. She loved her family and had low demands on life because she was spiritually rich. She doesn't have high requirements for her husband and children, as long as they are safe, healthy and happy.
Gu Xuemei thought that if she could do it again, she would want to experience her sister's life.
But there is no "if" in this world. Life has already come to this point, and there is no point in regretting it.
Gu Xuelan and Yuan Lianyun both advised her to stop thinking about it. If she thinks too much, she will get into trouble again.
Yuan Lianyun said: "Isn't your life now quite good? Jingyu not only fulfilled your wish, but also exceeded it. They both went to graduate school. Now they are married and have children, and their relationship with Xiao Zhao is also very good. Okay, the income is pretty good, and there’s nothing for you to worry about at home, otherwise Can you come out at any time if you want to go out for fun?”
Mother Song and Father Song had already transferred the restaurant to Gu Xuemei’s name. The restaurant is still open now, and the chef in charge was brought out by Father Song. As an apprentice, Gu Xuemei only needs to check the accounts regularly. Her own shop is no longer open, and she can no longer operate it because she is old, so she rents it to others. The monthly rent is not much, but it is enough for her and Song Ningwei's daily expenses in the town.
Gu Xuelan said: "Yes, like me, you may not be able to leave now if you want to go out to play."
"Why can't you leave," Gu Xuemei asked, "Xu Xu is not married. , you don’t have to help take care of the children. If you have money and leisure, you can still go on a trip. Didn't you just leave?"
"Who said you don't have children?" Gu Xuelan smiled, "Aren't the three little ones at home just like children? Xu Xu will probably be busy after spring. At home, there must be someone to take care of the three little ones, right?”
Yuan Lianyun couldn't help but ask: "Is her script going to be filmed? Which one will she film this time, and will she have to follow the crew all the time?"
Gu Xuelan said: "I don't know the details, either. It seems to be a story related to crime. It is the script she is revising now. She has revised it over and over again. She said that after the revision was completed, the director was satisfied and started casting and filming. "
Gu Xue Mei was worried about another question: "How long will it take to film this time? It won't be three months like the last drama, right? Didn't she and Qingsong just talk about it not long ago? Being away from home for such a long time is not conducive to the development of relationships. "She heard Jingyu say that three months is a short period of time, but some can shoot for half a year or more. Some celebrity couples in the entertainment industry have been separated for too long because of work. Finally got divorced.
After what she said, Yuan Lianyun was also a little worried: "Xuelan, didn't you say that they fell in love with the intention of getting married? If they are separated for too long, it is really not conducive to the cultivation of feelings. "
Gu Xuelan was not worried at all: "It's okay. "Let the young lovers handle the matter on their own, but I don't think Qingsong is someone who changes his mind so easily." Thinking about that time Xu Qingsong came over with a gift and told her and Liu Nanshan very solemnly that he wanted to pursue Xu Xu. , with such a posture, they almost thought that he came directly to propose marriage. Also, don’t think she can’t tell, Qingsong sometimes clings to their family’s catkins.
Before the topic was finished, Gu Xuemei jumped to another topic and said to Gu Xuelan: "Sister, no matter what, you have to keep a close eye on Xu Xu. Marriage is not a child's play. No matter how good Qing Song looks, he still has to let them Let’s talk about it for a while, but don’t rush into getting married. From this point of view, it’s good for Xu Xu to go out with the group. Time and distance are the touchstones of relationships.”
"Yo yo yo," Gu Xuelan said in a long tone, "Sister-in-law, look, she can actually say that marriage is not a child's play and you can't rush it. I really have to admire her."< br>
“I’ve long wanted to go back and slap myself in the face, and if I can’t wake myself up, I’ll just slap myself to death.” Gu Xuemei continued the joke and said, “If I could do it over again, Sister, I think you can actually not get married and be a strong career woman. That kind of life is quite satisfying."
"What you said," Yuan Lianyun smiled, "no matter what kind of life it is. Life will never be perfect. The so-called perfection, if it exists, can only be found in the scenery you have never seen and the road you have not traveled.”
“That’s right,” Gu. Snow Lan agreed with what her sister-in-law said, and joked, "If you want a happy life, it's actually easy. Just try more, such as getting married and then divorced, having a child before marriage, another child after marriage, and cheating on each other when you're in love." , cheat again after getting married, walk all the roads in the world, see all the scenery, and eat all the dishes..."
These words made Yuan Lianyun and Gu Xuemei laugh.
The three of them felt a little hungry after walking, so they bought some snacks from a roadside stall and shared them. They slowly returned to the place where the battery car was parked when they came. Liu Nanshan, Gu Xuehui and Song Ningwei were already waiting. There, Liu Wangxue, Xu Qingsong and the three little ones haven't come back yet.
