Su Xiao took a deep breath and explained patiently.

"I have already told our mother that Wanwan and I are going to set up a street stall. If she is hungry, she can go to a restaurant near home to eat something. She is not without money. And you didn't tell me in advance when you came back. I did too much. What should I do? In addition, if you want to eat, you can also ask your mother to cook for you. She has hands and feet. She has been cooking for you for many years. After marrying a wife, she forgot how to cook? "

"What did you say about my mother? What we are talking about now is our business. We live our lives together. Is it appropriate for you to always let my mother do this or that?"

"Yes, we live together, why is your mother always here to make trouble?"

"Don't say it so harshly. My father is gone and she is just my son. Who will she live with if she doesn't live with me?" Jiang Minghui refused.

"She is your biological mother. I have nothing to say about her living with you, but I am not familiar with her. You haven't forgotten how she treated me when I was in confinement, right? Not only did she not help, she also asked me to do it for her. I couldn't touch cold water for rice, she didn't even wash the dishes, and the housework was all piled up for me to do. I couldn't get out of bed for a few days after I was discharged from the hospital, and you weren't at home. I couldn't even drink hot water. I had no choice but to call my mother over to take care of me. I have been suffering from back pain in the past few years. Your mother said that I was pretending...Jiang Minghui, I have no obligation to care about her.

Now I am doing a good job of cooking and washing clothes for her every day. Also, you give her three thousand yuan a month, and you give me two thousand yuan and let me be responsible for all the expenses of the family. There are four of us and I spend a lot of money buying vegetables and meat every day. Have you calculated this? No? I can't leave now. You can just watch and eat outside. "

"How much does it cost to buy groceries? Do you want to settle the account with me? Okay, Su Xiao, I work hard outside and can't even eat when I get home. In this case, you don't have to cook for mom and I in the future. We can do it ourselves." Deal with it, you have to earn your own living expenses."

"Jiang Minghui, what do you mean? I have no income now, and you want to cut off my food expenses? Not even caring about my daughter?"

"I will transfer a thousand yuan to you every month. From now on, you can take care of your own meals." After saying that, Jiang Minghui hung up the phone.

Since he got home at eight o'clock in the evening, he has been listening to his mother Li Cuixiu's nagging, saying that her daughter-in-law is not good to her, does not cook, is too lazy to cook, and is not filial to her elders... without mentioning that she gave all the money to Jiang Liping for her daughter. Things to take away.

Jiang Minghui was furious and called Su Xiao directly.

Su Xiao was angry and disappointed as she watched the phone screen gradually go black.

Su Mu dragged Wanwan back from the other end of the night market and noticed that Su Xiao looked very bad.

"Sister, what's wrong?"

Su Xiao told Su Mu the conversation just now.

Su Mu's anger welled up: "He knows that you are now taking care of the children full-time and have no income, how can he cut off the food expenses?"

"I just discovered now that Jiang Minghui is a mama's boy, and he always listens to his mother's opinions on everything. Fortunately, I have been a housewife for more than three years and I have also taken on some part-time jobs in the design industry. In addition, my mother used to work with us. I received monthly support while I was living there, otherwise I really wouldn’t be able to survive this time.”

"Sister, let me transfer you some money first."

"No, no, no, Mu Mu, I still have some savings, and now I have to start a street stall business. I can take care of myself, don't worry."

Su Xiao has also received scattered design orders in the past two years, but because she needs to be in front of the computer for a long time and cannot take care of her children at any time, the workload is not large.

"Sister, have you ever thought about going back to work? Wanwan also entered kindergarten this year. I think it's completely fine for our mother to come back to take care of the children while you go out to make money. She does manual labor in the supermarket and can't earn as much as us. You Go to work and earn tens of thousands a month, even if you give half of it to my mother, you can still save money without having to look at other people's faces."

"It's not that I haven't thought about it, it's just..." Su Xiao hesitated, "To tell you the truth, in the first half of this year, when Wanwan was sent to kindergarten, I secretly submitted my resume several times, but when it came to the interview, the other party listened. I said that I have a child over three years old, but there is no further explanation. Even though I promised that the elderly at home will take care of the child, the employer still has concerns."

It turned out to be the case.

Employers will worry about asking for leave if their children are sick, asking for leave for school activities, and asking for leave if the elderly are sick and have no one to take care of their children. They are worried about this and that. Alas, for women who are married and have children, the workplace has always been difficult.

Su Mu consoled her: "Sister, don't be discouraged. Maybe the time has not come yet. Maybe it will be better if you try a few more."

Su Xiao nodded.

Now, the most important thing is to invite Li Cuixiu back to her hometown and bring Su's mother back to pick up and drop off the children.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Su Mu and Su Xiao closed the stall together. Su Mu had to go to work tomorrow, but Su Xiao didn't dare to wait too late and kept urging her to go home.

After Su Mu arrived home, Lu Jinshen walked out of the bedroom.

"Su Mu, are you free tomorrow afternoon? I found a good Chinese medicine doctor who is famous for menstruation. Maybe he can treat your dysmenorrhea."

"Ah? Mr. Lu really doesn't need to worry about this little problem," Su Mu grinned from ear to ear in surprise, "And...tomorrow, Monday, is my busiest time."

She really doesn't have time tomorrow, and her monthly plan for next month hasn't been completed yet.

"What about tomorrow at noon? It only takes about half an hour."

Su Mu couldn't help but refuse: "Thank you first, Mr. Lu."

"I will pick you up from downstairs of your company at noon tomorrow."

Su Mu thanked her again and returned to the bedroom in a hurry.

She had suffered from dysmenorrhea since she was in college. There was no other reason than that during the winter vacation of her freshman year, she went to work in a restaurant and washed the dishes with cold water for a long time during her menstrual period. The pain started from then on.

In the past two years, I have been under great pressure at work and my menstrual cramps have become much more severe.

Every time, she used ibuprofen for emergency treatment and carried it through. She never thought that she would need to see a doctor for this matter. It's not that she didn't expect it, but that she was eager to work and save money. She always wanted to buy a house in Xingfu Community and have a home of her own, so she often had one less thing to worry about.

Lu Jinshen, the husband who had just had a flash marriage, took her little problem to heart.

While being moved, she also had deep doubts about love.

Compared to her sister and brother-in-law who entered into marriage through free love, she doesn't quite understand whether love is a necessity for marriage.

If two people don't love each other, but only respect each other as guests, and both parties are responsible, can they live like this?

Su Mu couldn't figure it out and fell asleep in a daze.

At twelve noon the next day, Su Mu received a call from Lu Jinshen on time.

"Okay Mr. Lu, I'll go downstairs right away."

Su Mu picked up her bag and went straight to the parking lot, and got into Lu Jinshen's car a few minutes later.

Ten minutes later, the car stopped downstairs at Shengting Hotel.

"See the doctor here?" Su Mu thought Lu Jinshen had gone to the wrong place.

"Yes, this old Chinese medicine doctor is very famous throughout Los Angeles. The registration queue for medical treatment will be next month. But he happened to be working nearby today, so I had the opportunity to stop by and ask him to take your pulse. .”

It turned out to be the case.
