Marriage is not out of date: the president's wife is polite

Has everything ushered in liberation?
No.

An aunt was hired at home, but his wife was still enslaved by his mother and sister.

But the only thing that got better was that she finally had some time to spend with him.

His mood improved a little. She sat beside him holding an anthology of Tang poetry, and the two of them flipped through it together. Looking at those familiar words, he couldn't help but think of his high school days.

At that time... He looked at her purely and silently. It seemed that the boy's love had finally come to an end, but he was unable to protect her anymore.

"I'm so impressed with this poem..."

It was she who was always talking about it. When he turned to "The Road is Difficult", he suddenly opened his mouth with difficulty, and his fingers crossed those verses:
"...If you want to cross the Yellow River, which is blocked by ice, you will climb the snow-covered mountains of the Taihang River. When you are free to fish on the Bixi River, you will suddenly return to the boat and dream of the sun. The road is difficult, the road is difficult. There are many divergent roads, where are you safe now?"

He stopped abruptly after reading here, and he couldn't recite the next two vigorous poems no matter what.

Time is easy to throw people away, the cherries are red, and the plantains are green.

In the past, the talented and amazing young man is now just a man sitting in a wheelchair, waiting for the arrival of death. His whole body is lifeless.
Tears suddenly filled the eyes, Xu Shuo lowered his head, the wife next to him was unaware of his sudden emotion, she followed his words naturally and continued:
"There will be times when the wind and waves break, and the sails will be hung straight to help the sea."

After reading, she saw his gloomy face, and said cautiously:

"Actually, I contacted Senior Brother Li Nian in the United States. He is currently researching this field. I told him about your situation. He said that there is no hope of standing up at all, and that he will come back this year. Ah Shuo, we -"

"You despise me as a disabled person now?"

After shaking her hand away, Xu Shuo's expression was extremely ugly, and he looked at her with an unbelievable look:
"I know, you want to kick me away now, don't you?"

"A Shuo, I don't, I just think that if there is hope..."

"What hope?"

Unable to sneer, Xu Shuo beat his unconscious legs desperately, his face showing ferocious pain:

"That car went over my leg, you understand? It was not an ordinary car accident at all! You don't understand, you don't understand anything!"

Shocked by his resistance and pain, she hugged him tightly while crying, and she comforted him:
"Okay...it's all over, it's all over, I will always be with you, I have never disliked you, I just hope you can cheer up, didn't you say that you like "Difficult to Journey" the most?...Xinglu Difficult, the road is difficult, the road diverges, where is it now? There will be a long wind and a cleaving wave in the future, hang the clouds and sail straight to the sea... one day it will get better..."

The two of them huddled together in the room to keep warm, but Jiang Chunmei, who came to discuss things with Xu Shuo, saw this scene. The woman's hair, scolded unceremoniously:

"What a shameless person! What has become of my son now? Are you still pestering him? Do you want to give birth to a son? You are a shameless thing! Why did our Xu family invite you to be such a scourge? "

She backed away in pain from being grabbed by her mother, Xu Shuo stretched out his hand to stop her but couldn't, he could only suppress the anger of being repeatedly exposed by his mother, "Let her go!"

"A Shuo, you are still young, don't be fooled by this woman!"

In the eyes of her son, Jiang Chunmei finally let go of her hand, but her face was still not good-looking:

"What are you two doing hiding in your room instead of sitting in the living room in broad daylight? Let me tell you, it was this woman who seduced you! Ah Shuo, it wasn't your mother who said you. The most important thing about your current physical condition is rest, not Do such stupid things!"

"You misunderstood. I was just a little emotional because I was reading a book. Good night, come to comfort me."

Almost fainted by his mother's words, Xu Shuo endured the feeling of being humiliated, he looked at his unreasonable mother, "Besides, Wan An and I are already married, isn't it normal to have our own lives? ?”

His eyes were too sharp, Jiang Chunmei was stunned for a moment, but she couldn't blame Mu Wan'an any more, she gave Mu Wan'an who was slowly standing up, and then with a little flattery:
"Ashuo, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Xu Shuo hadn't heard his mother speak in such a negotiating tone for a long time since his legs lost the ability to move.

There were only their mother and son in the room, Jiang Chunmei sat down on the sofa in the bedroom, she smiled flatteringly, and then said:
"You should know that I have always been dissatisfied with your marriage with Mu Wan'an. Although our Xu family is not a wealthy family, we can be regarded as a respectable family in this city."

"so?"

For some reason, Xu Shuo seemed to have known his mother's purpose. He looked at the embarrassed middle-aged woman with eyes full of desire indifferently and full of irony.

"Now, your physical condition is improving day by day. I don't think you can be with Mu Wan'an anymore. Now many people are watching our Xu family's jokes."

"Then?"

Can't help but smile, Xu Shuo has seen his mother's thoughts clearly, "It seems that my crippled son has a little use at noon."

"A Shuo!"

The voice suddenly became more serious. Jiang Chunmei saw Xu Shuo's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile. The next second, her momentum suddenly became weak again. She sighed:

"Actually, you should also understand in your heart that our Xu family is not a particularly noble family. You are now...you have no hope for the rest of your life, but you have to pave the way for your sister. Of course, if this marriage can come true, For the rest of your life, you will be popular and drink hot food, and you can walk sideways here. Mom did this for your own good, and for our entire Xu family. "

Seeing her speaking sincerely, Xu Shuo suddenly remembered the secret of his father's cheating that he had discovered. He just felt that the woman in front of him was extremely pathetic, and he couldn't even hold his husband's heart in his hands:
"Which family's woman has such bad eyesight? She even wants to marry a disabled person? Why do I think the marriage you mentioned is so unreliable?"

"Don't worry, mom won't hurt you."

Thinking that he was loose, Jiang Chunmei's face was filled with joy, she smiled and said:
"You should have heard of that lady from the Wang family, Wang Siyi. The Wang family is very famous in our city. It would be great if our Xu family could marry the Wang family!"

"The Wang family? Wang Siyi?"

Hearing these words, Xu Shuo only felt a physical disgust welling up in his chest. He looked at his mother who seemed extremely strange at the moment:
"Let my son marry the culprit who disabled him, and still use such a proud and impatient tone, are you really my biological mother?"

……

"I told him that he was very repulsive and almost scolded me by pointing his nose, so what can I do?"

The door of the study is always the best place to eavesdrop, Jiang Chunmei's sharp voice sounded again:

"Don't you understand your own son? He likes Mu Wan'an so much, how could he marry another person? Besides, Wang Siyi made him like this, do you think he will accept it?"

"No, this matter must be dealt with. If we dare to reject the Wang family, Wang Dong just needs to move his finger, and all the business of our Xu family will have to stop."

Father's tone was full of melancholy, and after saying this, he scolded impatiently:
"If you hadn't insisted on getting close to those expensive wives, how could Wang Siyi think about our son? Women are bad things!"

"My son is hopeless, so I naturally have to make plans for my daughter!"

The more her husband accused her, the more excited she became. Jiang Chunmei complained about her husband's behavior:
"You never cared about these things, how do you know how sad I am? Do you think I am willing to send my son to the Wang family? But Ah Shuo is already a useless person! What else can I do?!"

……

He no longer wanted to hear about the subsequent plans.

He pushed the wheelchair, left the study, and watched for a long time by himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.

His wife has not been in good health for the past few days. She went to the hospital for a physical examination at this time. He thought about how his mother and Xu Feifei belittled and humiliated her on weekdays. I couldn't love what I used to love, thinking about torturing each other now.

"Ashuo, I'm back."

With a look of exhaustion visible to the naked eye, she still smiled at her. Xu Shuo was heartbroken, but he still asked in a gentle voice:
"How is it? Did the test result come out?"

"Not yet, the doctor told me to get the results next week."

Her complexion was a little pale, she changed her shoes, walked to his side step by step, and cuddled up to his side full of attachment as before:
"It should just be that I haven't had a good rest recently, so don't worry about me."

"...Good night, you said, as long as we can be together. Is this true? Will you always be with me?"

Looking at the ignorant woman in front of him, Xu Shuo felt as if he was being stabbed by a needle. He touched her face with the back of his hand, full of pity:

"If one day I abandon you..."

"Why would you abandon me? Even if you abandon me, I will always follow you. Unless one day...you really don't want me anymore. "

Having said that, she looked a little sad, and she lowered her head to hide her emotions:

"A Shuo, senior Li Nian will return to China in a few days, you promise me, we will go to the doctor together, okay?"

This may be the last time they can chat peacefully together, Xu Shuo smiled and said hello.

There was joy on her face, but his thoughts kept flying away.

The road is hard, the road is hard...

How different is it, today?
There is no long wind and waves, and no straight sails.
