Marriage in crisis

According to the address Zhang Xuejuan gave me, it was easy to find their home. I couldn't help but sigh that although this was the house that Deng Jiafeng later changed, it was already considered an old community.

I thought about what Chi Xi told me the night before yesterday, about the address where Deng Jiazhe went to meet Deng Jiafeng. It was a quiet and elegant place, and it was the contrast between heaven and cold kiln.

Deng Jiafeng is really decent. He is really a model of heartlessness when he treats his wife and daughter like this. Who has forgotten how Zhang Xuejuan broke up with her family, I will never forget it either.

That scene is still fresh in my mind.

Chi Xi took out the two large packages of gifts he had just bought on the way from the trunk. We looked at each other and walked into the building.

I'm guessing whether Zhang Xuejuan knew what Deng Jiafeng did.

After finding the house number of her house, I knocked on the door and heard a soft and childish inquiry. It sounded like it was a little girl.

"Who is it?"

"Tingnan, it's the second aunt!" I responded gently.

There was a sound of the door opening quickly from inside, and it sounded urgent.

When the door opened, I saw Deng Tingnan, whom I hadn't seen for many years.

To be honest, the little girl looks a bit like my Deng Yunlan. The Deng family all have good looks, and Ting Nan also has thick eyebrows, big eyes and a small mouth. She is very beautiful.

Taller than Yun Lan and slim, she stood at the door and looked at me shyly, with surprise, excitement, and a trace of doubt in her eyes.

She cautiously called out, "...Second Aunt!"

I smiled kindly and said, "Tingnan, long time no see!"

After saying that, I took a step inward. Then she remembered and quickly took a step back to let her go out. "Second aunt, please come in quickly!"

I took a step closer, put my hand on her shoulder, and walked in together.

"Are you home alone?" I asked as I walked and looked at their home.

The area of ​​this house is quite large, about 100 square meters, and the decoration is quite exquisite. Although it looks like the design style of a few years ago, it is very clean and not messy. It can be seen that Zhang Xuejuan has taken good care of it.

"My mother will be back soon!" Tingnan looked up at me with a pleasant smile, "Second Aunt, you can sit wherever you like!"

"Your home is so clean and warm, and your mother is really good at taking care of it!" I praised it sincerely, "What do you do at home?"

"I...do my homework, read a book, and watch TV!" She answered cautiously.

"What does your mother do all day long? Are you always at home by yourself?" I thought it was a casual question, but actually I wanted to understand.

"My mother is going to work and deliver goods to others!" Tingnan answered immediately.

"Working?" I was a little surprised, "Where does she work?"

In my impression, Deng Jiafeng would not let Zhang Xuejuan go out to work, and I always feel that Zhang Xuejuan's character is not suitable for part-time work.

In my impression, she is very accepting and willing to work hard without complaining.

Although the latter is a great advantage, the former absolutely overwhelms the latter. If Deng Jiafeng had anything to say, she would never dare and would not go out to 'show her face'.

Chi Xi brought two large bags in and put them on the coffee table. Before we could say a few words, Zhang Xuejuan hurried back.

As soon as I entered the house, I quickly put down my bag, boiled water to make tea, and didn't forget to say hello to me, "Dani! I really didn't expect you to come to my place!"

"Sister-in-law, it's my fault. It's true that we are so close. We should have moved around more a long time ago!" I got up, walked to the kitchen, and watched her boil water. "Stop being busy, just sit down and talk." !”

"It'll be fine in a minute!" She motioned to me, "Go and sit down quickly. Don't say you're not good, otherwise it's my fault. You've been sick for so long. I should have gone to see you long ago. Hi... .”

"Listen to Nan, are you working?" I looked at her and asked, "Brother... want you to go out?"

Her expression visibly stiffened, and then the corners of her mouth twitched twice, "I...he has stopped caring about us a long time ago!"

This answer was both expected and unexpected.

Because I don’t know to what extent Deng Jiafeng’s indifference went.

"He... doesn't care?" I asked doubtfully, "Why doesn't he care?"

Zhang Xuejuan glanced at me quickly, "It's been a long time! So... I have to work and I have to raise children!"

I was a little shocked. I didn't expect that Deng Jiafeng's "no care" actually went to the level of not raising children.

This inevitably makes me a little embarrassed. You know, such topics are still quite taboo among sisters-in-law.

But I still asked, "How long?"
