"Look at your dirty and sloppy appearance. Do you want to enter this house?"
Li Xian had just returned from the construction site when he was caught red-handed by his mother-in-law, Xie Fangling. She stared at his work shoes and jeans stained with cement, revealing a look of disdain.
"I told you that you are not allowed to enter the house unless you are washed clean. If you dirty the carpet imported from France, see how I deal with you!"
A carpet imported from France?
Li Xian pulled the corners of his mouth. A small shop was just bragging a little, and it was regarded as the truth. He was really a fool who did not know it.
"Mom, the water pipe is being repaired today. The water outside is suspended. Let me go in and wash it first." He explained softly. Even though spring came, the temperature of Binhai was only about ten degrees.
"The water is suspended. Don't you know to go to the river and the sea?"
"It's so cold..."
"I don't care!" Xie Fangling interrupted him and smelled the smell of cement on his body. She covered her nose and said, "Go away, go away!"
"Mom, what's wrong?" A woman came down from the stairs.
She was about twenty years old. She had a delicate and beautiful and pure face. Her skin was as white as snow and her long black hair was straight.
She was wearing a black turtleneck sweater with curves and a pair of black stockings and a short skirt. She had slender long legs.
When Li Xian saw her, an imperceptible sense of inferiority flashed through his eyes. In front of a dazzling woman, he was nothing.
"Qinghuan, why did you come down?" Xie Fangling glanced at Li Xian and came to his daughter with a smile. "Your health is not good. Go upstairs and rest."
"I heard you talking. Come down and have a look." Chen Qinghuan looked at Li Xian, but then looked away.
Although they were husband and wife, they were not familiar with each other at all. In the past half year, they had only spoken a few times.
"It's just a small matter. You don't have to worry about it." Xie Fangling found that Li Xian was still standing at the door. He shouted with dissatisfaction, "What are you still standing at the door for? Didn't you hear what I just said? Look at what time it is. Why don't you get out and change your clothes and come back to cook?"
"Why was I blind back then? It was so embarrassing to find a mud worker for Qinghuan!"
Li Xian pursed his lips. Yes, he was a mud worker.
A year ago, he had found a good job after graduating from university.
However, his father had an accident on the construction site. His brain was damaged and he had been unconscious.
The construction site shirked responsibility and only took out 60,000 yuan to settle this matter.
Even if he wanted to sue, he needed less time. During this period, his father needed money to treat his illness every day.
In order to earn the expensive treatment and care fees, he had to go to the construction site to move bricks. He could earn at least 500 yuan a day, which was faster than working in the company.
The only regret was that he had lost his profession, and there was no room for improvement in the future.
Half a year ago, the people of Chen Clan were recruiting a son-in-law to help Qinghuan block the disaster. As long as the eight words matched Qinghuan, he would get 100,000 yuan and be divided into two installments to pay.
At that time, his father's illness had become serious. The construction site owed wages and was forced to come to the examination. Who knew that the eight words really matched and finally married Qinghuan.
The marriage deadline was one year, and after one year, he must divorce Qinghuan.
Now, half a year had passed, and Chen Qinghuan's disaster had not come, but he spent every day being scolded by his mother-in-law.
In order to get the remaining 50,000 yuan, he endured.
But recently, Xie Fangling's words became more and more unpleasant, and he was almost unable to bear it.
Li Xian hesitated for a moment, and found that Xie Fangling did not pay attention to him. He pushed open the door and went straight in.
After working outside for a day, when they came back, they still had to cook, wash, and clean up for them. Sometimes, they also had to bring footwater for them.
They could only sleep for four hours a day. Even if their bodies were made of iron, they would not be able to endure this kind of torment.
One or two times was fine, but if it was like this every day, who could endure it?
He wanted to go home to take a bath and change his clothes, but he was not allowed to, this was really going too far!
"Stop right there!" Seeing that he was disobedient and dared to resist, Xie Fangling shouted angrily, "You trash, trash, country bumpkin, who allowed you to come in? Get out of here!"
"I'll come back and take a shower. I'll be out in a while." Li Xian stopped and answered in a low voice.
"I'm not sure!" Xie Fangling took a wooden stick and hit him rudely. "Get out! Get out!"
Li Xian was hit in the face and his arm hurt.
"Don't go too far!" He shouted as he grabbed the wooden stick.
"I'm going too far?" "Look, look at the dregs that fell off your body and dirtied my carpet. Can you afford to pay for it?" Xie Fangling shouted.
Li Xian looked at the carpet. It was indeed stained with water and mud. There were footprints on it, affecting the beauty.
He pursed his lips. Just as he was about to leave, a red teddy ran in. Teddy raised his head and shook his body, dropping the leaves on the ground.
"Oh, my little darling, you came back so soon. Why don't you play outside for a while longer?" Xie Fangling, who had been showing off just now, immediately changed her expression when she saw Teddy. She squatted down and held him in her arms, her tone intimate.
Looking at the footprints and rotten leaves that Teddy left on the carpet and floor, the guilt that rose in Li Xian disappeared.
In this house, the rice was cooked by him, the bowl was washed by him, the ground was swept by him, which one of them was not made by him?
However, Xie Fangling disliked him over and over again, even worse than a pet dog raised at home.
He gritted his teeth and ignored Xie Fangling's words. He strode into the bathroom on the first floor and closed the door with a bang.
"It's over! It's over!" Xie Fangling found that Li Xian did not listen to her arrangements. She was so angry that her face turned livid. She carried the dog to the bathroom and kept knocking on the door. "Li Xian, open the door! Open the door for me! Who allowed you to come in? Come out!"
"Mom, stop knocking." Chen Qinghuan's tone was gentle. He came to her and whispered, "Don't be angry. If you have anything to say, wait for him to come out. It will be bad for your health."
Xie Fangling was so angry that he returned to the living room and sat down on the sofa, staring in the direction of the bathroom.
When you come out, see how I will deal with you!
At twenty minutes, Li Xian changed into clean clothes and came out. He heard Xie Fangling's criticism. "It took you 20 minutes to shower. Don't you know that it's a waste of water? This month, you will add 500 yuan to your living expenses. Give me a total of 2,500 yuan. Otherwise, you will get out of this house!"
Li Xian had enough of her unreasonable behavior, and the clay man had a temper. He did not want to endure it anymore!
"You said it!"
"If I leave this house today, unless you beg me, don't think of me coming back!"
"Oh? What a big tone! Who do you think you are? Do you want me to beg you?" Xie Fangling did not expect that he would dare to threaten her. She was furious.
For half a year, Qinghuan was fine. She must have been deceived by Master Azure Lamp.
What disaster, what disaster, all of it was a lie!
He had wanted to drive Li Xian away, but he had no excuse. Now, he dared to contradict her!
She pointed outside. "Pack your things and get lost! Get as far away as you can!"
"Don't ask me for the remaining 50,000 yuan!"
Li Xian looked at Chen Qinghuan, wanting to know what she was thinking.
Chen Qinghuan noticed that his gaze seemed to have been frightened, and she turned her head to avoid his gaze.
With just this one glance, he understood.
There was no need to keep this family!
The 50,000 yuan he got was exactly half a year, and they did not owe each other anything.
Without hesitation, he returned to the small compartment in the stairwell to pack up his things.
"You are not allowed to take anything from our house. If I find out, I will call the police."
Li Xian had very few things, only a few clothes, and stuffed them into his bag.
After packing up his things, he walked to the door and was stopped by Xie Fangling again.
"You haven't given me your living expenses for this month. In addition to the water and electricity fees just now, it's a total of 2,500 yuan."
"Don't go too far. I don't have money." All his money was used in the hospital, and he only had a few hundred yuan on him.
"No money? You want to leave without money?"
Li Xian asked, "Then I will continue to stay and pay back the money?"
"You..." Xie Fangling choked and could not speak. Compared with money, she did not want Li Xian to stay at home. It was simply a stain on their family.
"Well, as long as you get out of the house, I will treat this little money as a beggar. Get out!"
"Woof!"
Teddy, who used his power to bully others, kept barking at him.
Damn dog, even you bullied me.
"Shut up! I will kill you if you ask me again!" Li Xian growled in a low voice, scaring the dog so much that it growled.
He pushed Xie Fangling away and strode out.
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and settle the divorce papers with Qinghuan!" Xie Fangling's voice came from behind.
"If you don't come, I will make it impossible for you to live in Binhai!"
