Marriage in crisis

The next day.

When I opened my eyes, it was almost nine o'clock and the people around me were nowhere to be seen.

Maybe it’s because of the nightmare last night, my head is aching slightly, like I have a hangover. I haven’t felt this way for a long time.

I rubbed my temples, reluctantly got out of bed, washed up, changed into a casual skirt and went downstairs.

After all, there were guests at home and I couldn't not show up.

Unexpectedly, when I went downstairs, I saw Xu Aihua sitting there, chatting enthusiastically with her grandmother.

I immediately became much more energetic, smiled and walked over quickly, and asked, "When did you come back? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could pick you up!"

She smiled, "I came back a long time ago. Are you afraid that no one will pick me up in Qingcheng? Wu Jinsong came back a long time ago."

She said this very naturally, and it seemed that the two of them must be getting along well.

Then she looked at me and teased me, "Why are you sleeping in? You are amazing! Aren't you afraid of what grandma will say about you?"

I smiled and said shamelessly, "Grandma won't say anything about me. This hasn't happened in 800 years, and you've caught up with it. What made you want to come back?"

"Haizhen has given birth, how can I not come and give a gift? She is so hypocritical. If I don't show up, she will definitely spit on me to death! I am really afraid of her mouth."

Xu Aihua and Zhou Haizhen have always been at odds with each other and never talk to each other properly.

I couldn't help but smile, looked at grandma, and praised her, "Grandma, this person is really good now, and he is becoming more and more humane!"

Grandma nodded and smiled with satisfaction, "Yeah! Not bad, this is how it should be!"

All three of us laughed.

"There's one more thing!" Xu Aihua put away her casual expression and looked at me seriously.

I couldn't help but look at her and then at my grandmother. It seemed that she had already told my grandmother about this.

I asked curiously, "What else?"

Xu Aihua looked at me and said tentatively, "I want to go see Shi Yating's mother!"

As soon as she said this, I was stunned and asked hurriedly, "Shi Yating's mother? Isn't she in the nursing home over there?"

Xu Aihua nodded immediately. "Yes, I have asked someone to find out the details. Her mother's condition is sometimes good and sometimes bad. Sometimes she doesn't recognize people at all! Because of the head injury in the car accident that year, she has memory loss. Even Shi Yating can't remember some things."

"Is it really like this? Shi Yating said so last time, but I didn't expect it to be so serious." I sighed.

"Sometimes I think of her a little, but I don't spend enough time with her. Shi Yating is elusive now. It is said that we don't go back to see her very often, so I want to go see her." Xu Aihua looked at me seriously and said.

"That's good! But how do you contact Shi Yating? Will she... agree to let you visit her? Or do you want to go without Shi Yating?" I asked a little worriedly.

"Well! I'll go directly! Without notifying her first. Indeed, if I notify her...she might not let me see her!" Xu Aihua's attitude was quite firm.

"After all, when I was a child, I ate a lot of meals cooked by my aunt, and she was really kind to me. But I did the most immoral thing and broke their hearts?"

Xu Aihua said, lowering her head, with a guilty look on her face, "Uncle Shi passed away, I can't make up for this guilt, but I can't play dumb to my aunt anymore. I am also atonement!"

Then, she raised her eyes, looked at me, and said firmly, "In fact, after I heard about this incident, I couldn't sleep at night, and I kept thinking about how good she was to me.

At that time, my aunt treated me as if I were her own daughter. I also had what Shi Yating had. When she combed Shi Yating's hair, she would never leave mine out. She would always bring two portions of food for the spring outing...

My second brother and I basically celebrated our birthdays at their place! To be honest, now when I think about what I did to them, I feel ashamed. It was really inhumane.

I thought, I have to do something to make up for my sins. So I told my second brother about this matter, and he agreed and supported me very much!

I also told him about my concerns about Shi Yating, and he advised me that no matter what Shi Yating became or what side she stood on, it would not affect us to reform ourselves, and we must repay this kindness no matter what!"

I nodded. "To be honest, your idea is really good! The second brother is right. No matter what her attitude is, it will not affect your work!"
