Marriage in crisis

This time it was my turn to pause and look at her.

She was afraid that I wouldn't believe it, so she nodded seriously and said, "I didn't lie. It was my mother who lied. She is not the one who delivers the medicine."

"Oh?" I responded, but for a moment I didn't know what to say.

Seeing my attitude, she repeatedly said, "I don't know why my mother lies, but she always reminds me not to ask questions about her."

"Then how did you know?" I looked at her and handed her another chicken drumstick.

She took it and took a big bite and said, "I heard it when she was talking on the phone. Sometimes, she won't let me listen when she calls."

Tingnan was eating the chicken drumsticks, which tasted very sweet. Maybe it was because of this that he started chatting and couldn't hold back even if he wanted to.

"Then if mom doesn't want you to know, don't ask." I told her.

"I didn't ask. She always answered the phone behind my back, but I also knew that she was talking about work matters!" Tingnan said dismissively, "They were all talking about hospital matters, and they always talked about surgery. !”

I was wondering, surgery?

"Does that mean her job is still related to the hospital?" I asked.

"But it's definitely not delivering medicine!" Tingnan said stubbornly, "I've never seen her delivering medicine at all!"

Chi Xi and I looked at each other quietly and said calmly, "The same goes for your mother. What's wrong with delivering medicine? Why are you afraid that you will know? It's just work, you have to make money, and working hard is an honorable thing! With the hospital There are so many related jobs, so what are you afraid of!"

"Anyway, she is indeed related to the hospital, but she is definitely not delivering medicine! She was lying when she said she was delivering medicine!" Tingnan was afraid that I would have a prejudice against her, so she deliberately proved it.

"It's not easy for adults either, they all have to make money to support their families!"

"Actually...Second Aunt, my mother is rich!" Tingnan looked at me and said seriously, "But she won't let me tell you!"

"Why?" I was a little surprised.

She shook her head.

"How do you know your mother is rich?" Chi Xi asked casually, "Have you seen it?"

Tingnan nodded immediately, "Yeah! I've seen it before. One time she took back a bag of money. When I saw it, she immediately reminded me that it was other people's money and I couldn't tell anyone."

I was even more shocked, a pocketful of money?

Tingnan saw my disbelief and continued, "I didn't lie, she was the one who lied! If it was other people's money, why would she take it home? She was so careful that she didn't let me say it despite all the instructions."

"No wonder Tingnan's schoolbags are so expensive!" Chi Xi complimented by the way, "Your mother is quite capable, making so much money!"

Tingnan nodded noncommittally and looked at Chi Xi with a pair of big eyes, "But I just don't understand, why would she lie to me? She always won't let me do this. She also told me that she couldn't tell her second aunt that she had It’s about money!”

I smiled, "Then you still say it!"

She also smiled shyly and said, "I believe that the second aunt is a good person and very kind! Besides, the second aunt has helped us, why should we lie to the second aunt? This is very immoral!"

She was thinking while eating, then looked at me and said cautiously, "I always doubt..."

I looked at her hesitant expression and asked, "What do you suspect?"

"I always wonder if my mother has done something bad to make me lie and not let others know!" She looked at me worriedly, "What should I do if my mother did something bad? "

I reached out and rubbed her head, "Don't think so much. You can't even think about adult things. Just be a good child!"

"But, Second Aunt, I'm not a good boy either!" Tingnan looked at me, her eyes filled with tears, and she pursed her lips in grievance.

That little appearance is really heartbreaking.

I pinched her face and said, "Yo! What's going on? Why are you still crying after talking about it?"

When she heard what I said, she felt even more aggrieved and burst into tears. I was a little surprised.

I glanced at Chi Xi, who also looked at Ting Nan blankly.

I quickly coaxed, "Don't worry... don't cry anymore! Come, come to the second aunt and talk to the second aunt."

I said, reaching out and pulling her up into my arms. Chi Xi handed her a tissue, and I quickly wiped the tears on her face and continued to coax her, "Stop crying. There is something in your mouth. I'll choke on it soon."

While crying, she chewed twice more, then swallowed what was in her mouth, and choked with sobs and told me, "Second Aunt, I was wrong! I did something wrong, I'm scared!"

"Then tell Second Aunt, what did you do wrong? Don't be afraid, Second Aunt is here, so you don't have to be afraid!" I coaxed and looked at her serious promise, "No matter what happens, Second Aunt will Here I am!"

She looked at me with tears in her eyes, sobbing, "Second Aunt, do you really not blame me or hate me?"

I shook my head solemnly, "No, don't worry! You are right to open up your heart! How could Second Aunt blame you?"
