When Xu Zifan heard the elder sister's words, he hurriedly waved his hand, "No, you can't say that, she didn't look down on me, if it wasn't for the children, I wouldn't be able to marry her at all. Wouldn't it make her sad if I ask that? No, No way!"
A young man wondered: "Zifan, your wife is very beautiful? Why did you get married for the sake of the child? How did you know each other?"
Xu Zifan consciously said the wrong thing, and refused to say more, only said: "We are classmates and have known each other for many years. In fact, my wife is very good, you have misunderstood her."
"What's your wife like? Do you have any photos? We didn't attend the wedding, so we know each other, so don't meet them outside without knowing each other."
Xu Zifan turned on his phone, showed them the screensaver, and smiled, "This is my wife, who used to be the school flower of our school."
"Wow, it's true, it looks like a star!"
"Is this really your wife? She's so beautiful, as expected of the school flower."
Everyone praised Wu Xuefei for being beautiful, but at the same time they couldn't help but look at Xu Zifan. Dull hairstyles, rigid expressions, unchanging t-shirts and jeans, and a very boring personality, such an honest person married a school flower-level wife? Picture what
"Zifan, are you married and bought a house?"
Xu Zifan nodded, "My parents bought it for me the year before last, and it's been renovated long ago in Lange Community."
The house price in Lange Community is 12,100 flat, which is considered as high-class in this city, and the more expensive is the school district room and villa. Several people looked at each other and thought they had found the reason. Why would such a beautiful girl marry Xu Zifan? It must be for that house.
A more handsome colleague shook his head and pouted, thinking that the current beauty is real. His partner refused to marry him because he didn't have a house. I didn't expect that a dull and honest man like Xu Zifan would marry a beautiful woman, much prettier than his partner. Isn't it because he has a good house? It's too realistic. !
Everyone has seen Wu Xuefei's photos and stopped talking. The beautiful woman married him and was pregnant. It would be too ruthless to let people do this and that. This is the common view of the combination of beautiful women and honest people, as if beautiful women are good-looking, they will suffer when they marry. And the beauty is definitely looking at the money of the honest man, it is impossible to look at his people.
Xu Zifan also talked about family matters. These colleagues are only minor supporting roles. Before they shine, they need a little bit of foreshadowing.
Colleagues talked about gossip once, and they all felt that Xu Zifan was a little miserable, and somehow sympathized with him. Thinking of his schedule, he was embarrassed to ask him to help with the work, so Xu Zifan lived a very quiet morning. When everyone was eating at noon, he also asked him if he wanted to eat together.
Xu Zifan's first reaction was: "You usually eat aa together? Wouldn't that save money than eating by yourself?"
Several colleagues were stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, everyone order a few dishes together, and finally share the credit card, which is quite cheap."
"Then I'll go. You all bring me to dinner in the future!" Xu Zifan quickly got up and put on his badge. Their work cards can be used for commuting time and can also be used as meal cards in the cafeteria. The monthly food and beverage subsidies are charged to the work cards.
Everyone went to the cafeteria to find a large table and sat down. Xu Zifan only ordered shredded potatoes with vinegar, which was the cheapest on the menu. Sister Liu next to him looked at him and asked curiously, "Zifan, you really didn't have a wedding? Why do you seem to have spent all your money on a luxurious wedding?"
The handsome guy said sourly: "It must have been a lot of dowry for the sister-in-law's family? Otherwise, would the parents agree to the sister-in-law's marriage?"
Xu Zifan thought about it for a while, then shook his head and said, "No, we have known each other for a long time, and we just got the certificate when we got married, nothing else."
Such a beautiful beauty only got a certificate after following him? Nine bucks to get married to the school? The handsome guy said in disbelief, "Brother Fan, I remember that your conditions have always been good. What happened to your family?"
The female assistant just graduated, she is pure and kind, and then she asked, "Brother Fan, what troubles have you encountered? If there is anything we can help you, be sure to tell me, everyone is a colleague and will definitely help you. "
The others glanced at her, but as soon as they said it, they all echoed it. Xu Zifan showed a moved expression, got up and poured tea for them one by one with a teapot, raised the teacup and said, "I'm not very good at talking, I'm not very gregarious, I haven't interacted with you very much before, I didn't expect you to be so kind to me, so Take care of me. I will toast you with tea instead of wine. You are all my good colleagues. If you are willing to help me today, if you encounter difficulties in the future, I will definitely help you!"
After Xu Zifan finished speaking, he dried up the cup of tea! Several people blinked, thinking that this is really a sincere person, drinking tea is really dry, and drinking a belly of tea is not good. Some of them followed suit, others just took a sip, and the atmosphere became lively.
Everyone saw that Xu Zifan was so excited and felt that it was very rare, so they asked again, "Zifan, what difficulties have you encountered? You have been working overtime every day during this period of time, and the changes have been quite big. We are also very worried when we look at it. You have difficulties. Just tell us, the three stooges outperformed Zhuge Liang, and we will help you come up with an idea."
The person who speaks is also very good at changing concepts, and changed the female assistant's help to an idea. Xu Zifan didn't mind when he heard it. He hesitated for a while before sighing and said, "It's my father-in-law, I feel like I did it. Something went wrong, I haven't slept well these days, and I always have nightmares."
Everyone didn't understand, "It has something to do with your father-in-law? What have you done?"
"My father-in-law..." Xu Zifan suddenly stopped to look around, leaned forward and said in a low voice, "You must never say anything, it's all over, it's over."
Everyone leaned forward and nodded in agreement, "Don't worry, we will definitely not say it."
Xu Zifan whispered: "After I got married to my wife, my wife told me that my father-in-law killed someone while drunk driving. The family asked for 1 million to write a letter of understanding for my father-in-law, and my father-in-law released it. I think that the deceased is quite innocent, and I help my father-in-law to get rid of the crime, isn't I too sorry for him?"
Everyone gasped, "You paid the one million?"
"Your wife wants you a million as soon as you get married?"
"Your wife did it on purpose? Did she just want your money?"
"Your father-in-law is so immoral. He drinks and drives. That man is pitiful."
"Why are you so stupid? You give one million?"
Xu Zifan said: "My wife is pregnant with my child. She is such a good person to marry me. I feel blessed by the goddess of luck. When something happened to her father, how could I not help? I was so worried about this that I couldn’t sleep every day, and I almost fainted from crying. If I don’t help, the child won’t be in trouble. deceased."
Sister Liu shook her head and sighed, "You are so honest, you can give one million if you give it, but you just feel sorry for the deceased. Zifan, you can't be so honest in the future, or you won't be able to spend enough money."
Xu Zifan smiled and said, "Sister Liu, you are too serious. This kind of thing can happen once in a lifetime. How can I spend so much money in the future when I live a good life. I just don't have any savings this month. After a while, it will be fine after the next month, it will not be so bad."
The handsome guy looked at him sympathetically, "Aren't you miserable? If you give out one million yuan, your father-in-law also asked you to help him clean the bathroom. He lives in your house now? Even sweeping the floor asks you to go back after get off work to clean it. It's obvious that I'm bullying you. Brother Fan, you really have to learn to refuse, you can't be so submissive. You like your wife is one thing, serving your father-in-law is like serving the emperor, this is not normal, really."
"Yes, yes, I forgot before, your father-in-law was too much. You rescued him, but he didn't say he was grateful to you, and he treated you as a nanny. This is not good, Zifan."
"Brother Fan, you are working so hard to earn money now and doing so much housework every day, isn't that the equivalent of feeding them and serving them? My God, I knew you were so good, so it would be nice to have you and Xiaolin one-on-one. Ah? Xiaolin, don't you think? Where can I find such a good man as Brother Fan?"
Xiao Lin is the female assistant, nodded and said: "Really, the so-called twenty-four filial husbands are not at the level of Brother Fan. Brother Fan, don't blame me for speaking badly, if my sister-in-law really sees you working so hard and enjoys it with her dad every day. , then... She must not be sincere to you and is not worth your effort."
Sister Liu said: "Zifan, since you are married and have a child, we won't talk about anything else. I think you have to learn to reject them, don't let them do what they want you to do, do it first. It’s good to change the housework. You work so hard, they should do something they can, you go back and have a good talk with them, even if the atmosphere is deadlocked, it doesn’t matter, even if the family is living in such a run-in, something can be changed only by talking about it. You must not go on like this, this kind of family is unbalanced, sooner or later problems will arise, you have to find this balance in order to last for a long time, this is for the good of this family."
Xu Zifan nodded repeatedly, "Sister Liu, you have been married for more than 20 years and have always had a happy family. You are absolutely right. It was my first time getting married, and I had never been with someone before, so I might be wrong, thinking that I was trying my best to be good to my wife. That's alright. I understand what you said, and for the long-term, I have to ask her to do something at home, or it will be over if she loses her balance."
He raised his glass and said, "Thank you Sister Liu, you taught me a lot today."
Sister Liu smiled embarrassedly: "I didn't say anything, you are too polite. Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and each family's situation is different. I just give you a suggestion, you can decide for yourself. "Come on, eat."
Xu Zifan nodded with a smile, "Thank you too, I don't have any friends, and I feel uncomfortable when I have something in my heart. Seeing everyone helping me so much today, I couldn't help telling everyone what I said in my heart, and now I feel much more comfortable. Don't worry, I will learn to refuse , I will do what I am supposed to do, and I will refuse everything I should not do."
"That's right, Brother Fan, we are waiting for your good news."
The colleague who asked Xu Zifan to help with his work in the morning always felt that something was not right, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of it, so he put it aside and talked and laughed with his colleagues.
Xu Zifan smiled, he had to learn to refuse, not only the two at home, but also everyone here.
