Marriage in crisis

When I saw it, I realized that these little snacks to fill my belly were all my usual favorites. My heart warmed. It seemed that Wei Qingchuan had ordered these to be prepared.

When we were in school, the three of us liked to eat these.

Chi Xi was also very discerning and did not disturb us. He told me to help in the kitchen and then went into the house, leaving me to chat with She Huichun!

When the topic came up again, I said to Shehui, "You can also change your house!"

"Hey...whatever, just deal with it!" She Hui's tone seemed a little helpless, "Because of this, let me tell you, I often quarrel with Lao Qi."

"What? He doesn't agree?"

"Hey... don't mention it! I have had this idea about changing houses for a long time. We have lived in that house for more than ten years. There are all official people in that community. I feel more and more suffocated. I give in. Maybe it’s the nature of women to like the new and hate the old!”

After She Hui finished speaking, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "I told him that instead of buying a villa, we could just choose one that was a little bigger and in a better location. But Lao Qi just didn't agree! Whatever he said, we can change it here. We are used to living there, and they are all official people, so they know that we live here! If you have nothing to do to change the house, aren't you looking for trouble to be criticized!"

"That's true. Aren't those people watching?"

"You're right, eight hundred pairs of eyes are staring at you! It's true, if we change the house in the front, something might happen to the back! You know!" She Hui looked distressed.

"You said this is also a contradiction. If you work for the government for a lifetime, can't you improve your living environment?" I asked.

"Lao Qi, he is cautious in everything. He is afraid that he will live for others if he takes a wrong step on his errands! What Bingqian said that day was right. Everyone respects you as Mrs. Qi and respects you with a smile. "Actually, is that respect for me? What is respect for the little power in Lao Qi's hands." She Hui sneered disdainfully, "How snobbish people are these days!"

I nodded understandingly, she was right, people are snobbish.

"But in private, none of them would point their fingers quietly, causing me to think twice before buying a better dress!" She Hui's wry smile looked funny.

"Is it that serious?" I stared at She Hui, "That's too much. You have your own business!"

"Ha... the businessmen can't see it, they can only see your new clothes!" She Hui said very realistically.

"This is a bit heartbreaking!" I complained.

"It hurts your heart!" She Hui smiled sarcastically and continued, "On the other hand, if you had always been simple to the end, they would have talked behind your back about how shabby you were. As soon as they met each other in the community, they would start comparing themselves to their husbands. Children, compare houses, money, anything that can be compared, even take off shoes and compare toe caps..."

What she said made me laugh non-stop, "Are you exaggerating a bit?"

"I'm definitely not exaggerating!"

I nodded and said seriously, "But I know the trend of comparison, especially the comparison between women, which is really scary to me. I remember that when I was still working in the company, there was a salesperson of the other party.

A woman! She couldn't get a few orders in a month, she got less than 3 yuan from the store, and she didn't know what brand she was wearing. In fact, her salary is not even enough to pay for one piece of clothing. Are you saying that she is wearing extravagant clothes to show off, are you not slapping yourself in the face?

You haven’t even earned this kind of money, but if you wear this thing, isn’t it obvious that you have channels? Let everyone understand that she is a prostitute! "

She Hui smiled and nodded, "What I'm saying is that this culture of comparison can force you to death! But you are businessmen and we are public servants, how can we compare!"

She Hui came close to me and whispered, "Even if I have money, I don't dare to spend it! I'm afraid of attracting criticism!"

"Never mind it! I'm used to their problems! What are you afraid of when you have a business?"

"Fortunately, the store is still there, otherwise it would be unreasonable!" She Hui said with a distressed look, "I have watched others make money for so many years, and I don't dare to let go!"

"Lao Qi is safe!" I praised, deliberately praising Qi Yanxing, "He is very considerate of his family. Look how good your relationship is! You should also be content with what you have, it's quite rare!"

"Hey!...That's all the couple is doing! After so many years, it's just a family relationship, how can there be any other feelings? When we were young, we were in love, but now we are just living together!"

I heard the meaning of She Hui's words and quickly pursued the victory.
