not just marriage

Since throwing away the phone number he used six years ago, Ji Ning has never received a call from his mother.When seeing Shen Muyuan yesterday, Ji Ning's first reaction was that his mother asked Shen Muyuan for money again, so he came back to look for him.

Ji Ning didn't expect that he thought that way, and actually received a call from his mother the next day. The purpose was the same as what he thought, she wanted money.

Ji Ning was raised by his mother. Although his affection for his mother has gradually faded away, he never thought that he would ignore his mother in the future and not fulfill his obligations as a son.

He has also saved some money over the years, but it is all for Ranran to keep his account.If Ji Ning had received a phone call from his mother asking for money two or three years ago, he would have sent the money without hesitation, but this time he really hesitated. Ji Ran was about to go to primary school, and this year he had to send the money to him. After the account is registered, what my mother asked for was not a small sum of money, what if he gave it to Ranran.

"Mom, otherwise you should come back. Mom, I found my grandfather. I was not in Haicheng several years ago. I went back to Yuncheng and met my grandfather here. Come back and we will live together as a family. "If the mother comes back, not only their family can be together, then the money that the mother asks for now should not be given to her right away.

"Ningning, you said you are with your grandfather now?"

"Yeah." Hearing what his mother said, Ji Ning's heart brightened. Mother hasn't seen grandpa for so many years, so she should be back.

"That's right. Your grandfather should have saved a lot of money over the years. If you can't get it out, you can ask your grandfather for it. I remember that when I left, my father started a business. He can't spend much money alone. , you ask him for it, he will..."

"Mom! Grandpa is so old, how can you resist him asking for money? Have you called him and sent money to him once in all these years? At this age, he should accept the filial piety of his children and take care of him for the rest of his life. I How can you ask him for money?!" Ji Ning thought that his mother heard that he had found his grandfather and would come back to see him, but he never thought that his mother's excitement just now was not because he met his grandfather, but because he wanted to get money from him. money!

"Okay, okay! I don't care if he wants to take care of your needs, right? You are my son, so it's only natural for me to ask you for money, right? Don't talk too much, call me the money quickly, and I will give you the account number .”

"Mom, what are you using all that money for? Could it be Ji Chengyou's investment?" 20?Even if you don't need to register for Ranran, you still don't have enough money.

"What kind of business are you doing? That little money is naturally living expenses!"

"Mom, if I am your son or you raised me, I will naturally give you a pension, but I want to raise a son now, and you are good at being young, not the age for people to take care of you! If you insist on not Come back, after you are 50 years old, I will calculate the exchange rate and send you your living expenses every month, and I will hang up first." Ji Ning's mother was less than 20 years old when he was born, and now she is only in her forties At this age, you can do anything to support yourself?Ji Ning has been comforting himself like this, wanting to relieve a little guilt in his heart.Although he rejected his mother's request with his mouth, he still blamed himself in his heart. He really should have given money to his mother, but he couldn't give it now. Even if he was selfish, no one can compare with him now.

In addition to this, Ji Ning wanted to tell her mother that 20 yuan was just "this little money" in her eyes, but it was just living expenses.When Ranran was still breastfeeding, her monthly living expenses were less than 5000 yuan. Now Ranran has stopped taking milk powder since last year, and the living expenses of the three members of her family are less than 2000 yuan.

Ji Ning knows that the price outside is expensive, but it can't be so expensive. In her eyes, 20 is a small amount of money. Does she only pay attention to the money given by Shen Muyuan?

Thinking of this, Ji Ning couldn't help feeling that he was not worth it for Shen Muyuan. His mother took Shen Muyuan's money a lot, but he didn't obey and left directly.

Later, Ji Ning also thought about what Shen Muyuan meant, that he would support and take care of him for the rest of his life, but don't think too much about other people.At that time, Ji Ning felt angry, but now he understands a little bit, Shen Muyuan didn't marry him because he liked him, it's only normal for him to think so, it's just that he is not satisfied.

Later, Ji Ning also thought about it, if Shen Muyuan had made it clear to him that all he needed was an obedient partner and did not need any emotional ties, would he have married him?

After thinking about it, Ji Ning had to admit that no matter what Shen Muyuan asked at the beginning, he would agree, after all, he was waiting for his mother's life-saving money back then.However, if Shen Muyuan had made it clear to him before getting married, he wouldn't have extra feelings, wouldn't be delusional, and wouldn't be desperate for Shen Muyuan and just want to run away.

"Grandpa..." Ji Ning received his mother's call from the balcony at home. He was still excited and prepared to let his grandpa answer the phone, but his mother's attitude later made him cautious, afraid that his grandpa would hear him and his mother Even if he was angry just now, he tried his best to suppress the business he was talking about, and he didn't know whether his grandfather heard the conversation between him and his mother.

"Grandpa..."

"You're right, don't talk to her now or in the future! She doesn't deserve to be a mother, and she doesn't deserve to be respected by a son!" What the grandfather said sounded heartless, as if he didn't care about the daughter at all, but when he turned back to the room, his back It made Ji Ning feel sad and desolate, and he didn't know when his grandfather's back could not be straightened anymore, and the hunched back made Ji Ning suddenly panic.

He didn't know how long this only relative other than his son would be with him.

"Grandpa, you must always be well."

They had already returned home from work, Ji Ran was already asleep, and Ji Ning stood alone outside his grandfather's house, watching the closed door and crying silently, he didn't know why the sadness in his heart was so turbulent at this moment. What couldn't be stopped turned into tears falling down, obviously in his most difficult days, he never shed a single tear.

Back in the room, Ji Ning slept next to his son. He wanted to kiss his son but was afraid of waking him up. In the end, he just reached out and touched his son's face lightly, then kissed his own hand foolishly as a kiss. I have a son.

Grandpa's house is a two-bedroom house, and Ji Ran is six years old and is about to go to elementary school, so it should be a separate room for him.Ji Ning lay flat on the bed and looked at the ceiling. The neighborhood had become quiet in the middle of the night, but Ji Ning was extremely disturbed in his heart.

He always felt that his life would gradually get better. Watching the child grow up slowly, he became more and more satisfied, and felt that his original decision was not wrong.But now, the inexplicable uneasiness in his heart made him unable to fall asleep, and he repeatedly opened and closed his eyes, but the sky outside couldn't brighten up.

Ji Ning has always been the first and busiest person in the family. In the morning, he needs to buy fresh side dishes from the vegetable market. After rushing back, he has to send Ji Ran to school, and when he comes back, he has to help in the store. He is so busy every day. , but feel happy every day.

Although he hardly fell asleep last night, Ji Ning woke up very early, and when he got up to go to the vegetable market, he kept thinking about something that he couldn't figure out.

Last night he clearly felt that he did not fall asleep, but why did he have so many messy dreams?Why did those pictures from many years ago keep appearing in his mind.

Ji Ning has not dreamed of his mother for a long time, but last night he kept dreaming about his mother. Most of the scenes in it were their childhood home, and the last scene was when his mother took him to see Shen Muyuan .

"Since you don't like me, why do you keep bothering me? Just don't show up! Don't bother me again!" In my mother's heart, I can't compare to Ji Chengyou in the slightest. Ji Ning already knew that, as for himself in Shen Muyuan's heart Needless to say, if this is the case, why can these two people become his troubles?

Ji Ning couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about anything. He began to calculate the small bills in the store, thinking about the trivial things in the store, and wanted to replace the troubles in his heart with other things.

Shen Muyuan never thought about what kind of life Ji Ning would lead after he left the Shen family, because he never thought that Ji Ning would treat him badly.

That day Ji Ning suddenly appeared in front of him with a child by his side, Shen Muyuan didn't even have time to see Ji Ning at this time.But today, looking at Ji Ning who was busy in a small square-inch shop, Shen Muyuan naturally noticed Ji Ning's current appearance.

An old cotton coat, a pair of ripped cotton shoes, and a Band-Aid on his finger, in a small shop the size of a palm.

How on earth did he get himself like this?

Shen Muyuan clearly remembered that Ji Ning had a card with a lot of money in it. Although he spent a lot of money on Ji Chengyou's eldest son, there should be a lot of money in it.In addition, after the butler found out that they were not divorced, he sent another sum of money to the card, and then made many calls. It is said that the money is enough for him to live well. How did he make himself into the ghost he is now? of?

The housekeeper did not tell Shen Muyuan about the transfer of money to Ji Ning, but Shen Muyuan still knew about it, and kept pretending not to know.After hearing Lin Mu's words, he was confused for a few days, and finally felt that he was obliged to take care of Ji Ning. After all, there were only a few people in this world who liked him, so he had to live a carefree life no matter what.

Shen Muyuan always thought that Ji Ning was living an ordinary but comfortable life outside, he never even thought that he would meet Ji Ning again one day, so he never thought that Ji Ning would appear in front of him in such a mess.

Going to that dirty and shabby shop again, Shen Muyuan wanted to ask Ji Ning how he got himself into what he is now, is it because all the money he got married was used to support women, so he let himself not only wear clothes It's broken and broken, and it's hard and cheap work.

Shen Muyuan felt that he went to that store just to ask questions, but Ji Ning's words about Mr. Shen made him speechless.

Mr. Shen, a synonym for being polite and unfamiliar, he has nothing to do with Ji Ning now, he should not ask those words.

Shen Muyuan remembered that Ji Ning knew how to cook, but it was just some simple side dishes, which just suited his appetite. He likes light side dishes, which don't need too many seasonings and just use the simplest ingredients.

When Shen Muyuan came to Yuncheng, the housekeeper had to follow him no matter what. He took care of Shen Muyuan's daily life since he was a child. Now that Shen Muyuan was going out of town, he naturally had to follow him to take care of him, but Shen Muyuan refused to leave him behind. The family only brought a kitchen lady from the family.

"Sir, the noodles you want are ready, eat them while they are hot."

"Let's put it away." Sitting next to the dining table, looking at the noodles on the table that were almost the same as during the day, Shen Muyuan picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the noodles. After swallowing the first mouthful of noodles, he put down the chopsticks in his hand , Let the aunt clean up and go back to the room.

Seeing the untouched face, the aunt felt uneasy. Doesn't the husband like the things he made?No, I have been doing this for so many years, and my husband has never disliked the things I cook so much before?

Back in the room, Shen Muyuan called Haicheng's home and asked the old manager to tidy up a room at home and decorate it into a children's room.
