After Meng Li said this, everyone's faces turned dark, but Meng Li continued:
"Xiao Zhao, you don't know that she had a bad life. She was abducted, married to a rural village, and gave birth to a son there."
The faces of Wang Kai'an and his son turned darker again.
This is an eternal pain in the hearts of their father and son, and it is also something that hurts their self-esteem.
Zhao Junfen was a little embarrassed and at a loss.
Meng Li also said: "I don't know if she is doing well now. That child probably doesn't have the ability to make money yet."
"I heard that Kai'an and the others went to pick her up together back then, but she was too kind and couldn't bear to abandon the child, so she didn't come back. Then I married her."
"What are you talking about?" Wang Kaian couldn't stand listening anymore and stared at Meng Li in surprise.
Meng Li looked at him: "I treat Xiao Zhao as one of my own and tell her what's wrong."
"Don't you think it's embarrassing for your ex-wife to do such a thing? Don't let anyone tell you? She can't help it. Oh! The society is sinister."
Wang Kai'an: "..."
"Are you feeling embarrassed? Huh?" Meng Li asked without fear of death.
"Shut up." Wang Kai'an got angry, stood up, opened the door and went out without eating.
As soon as he left, the whole room fell silent. After a while, Wang Shuncheng said to Meng Li with a bad expression:
"I don't want you to mention these things."
Meng Li immediately spoke:
"Son, don't you feel ashamed too? You shouldn't think so. You have to know that your mother is not willing. She also has her own difficulties. She suffers too much. It's too difficult for her. If you have the conditions, you can give it to her. Send some money to be filial to her, and she gave birth to you after all."
Wang Shuncheng's forehead throbbed with veins, and Lingling couldn't help but say:
"Mom, please stop hurting people."
Only then did Meng Li look like he suddenly understood, and said, "I'm sorry for making you feel uncomfortable."
Faced with Meng Li's insincere apology, Wang Shuncheng felt even worse. He said, "I went to work."
"Hey, let's go after dinner." Zhao Junfen was a little worried. Could the two father and son run away without eating breakfast
"I won't eat anymore." Wang Shuncheng spoke to her in a much gentler tone.
Finally, there were three women left. Meng Li saw that Zhao Junfen looked very bad. When he saw that she had washed the dishes, he hid in the room and cried.
Maybe it was because of what happened in the morning, thinking of my miserable life.
It may also be because of the attitude of Wang Kai'an and his son.
Zhao Junfen could also understand in her heart that what happened before must have caused harm to them, because she chose that child and that family and did not come back. But at that time, she had no choice at all. The child was so small, and she had given birth to it after all.
Lingling was sitting in the living room and could clearly hear Zhao Junfen crying. She also told Wang Shuncheng about this on her mobile phone.
Wang Shuncheng asked her to comfort her, and then Lingling knocked on Zhao Junfen's door. The two of them were muttering inside. Half an hour later, Zhao Junfen went out to buy groceries with red eyes.
Meng Li didn't go with her this time, she had other things of her own to do.
Yesterday, when I had free time, I contacted a merchant who sells surveillance equipment online. She is going to pick up the goods today. The installation is easy and very secretive.
After taking a taxi to pick up the things, Meng Li stopped by Wang Kaian's store and saw Wang Kaian and Zhao Junfen in the back kitchen. Zhao Junfen was wiping her tears and Wang Kaian was comforting him.
She walked in and entered the kitchen quietly, startling the two of them.
"What's wrong with you?" He asked, looking at Zhao Junfen's eyes turning red.
She quickly wiped her tears and said, "It's okay, I just cut onions."
Meng Li said meaningfully: "Really? Where are the chopped onions?"
Zhao Junfen panicked and didn't know how to answer. She just said something casually, while Wang Kaian pulled out a bucket filled with onions and said:
"At this."
He cut it in the morning, which was a relief for Zhao Junfen.
"I'm very mean all day long." Wang Kai'an felt extremely unhappy.
Obviously he just asked because he didn't believe others.
Meng Li asked in surprise: "Am I mean?"
"Am I mean?"
"I just asked casually how many onions were cut to make the eyes look like this."
"Besides, why are you so embarrassed to ask your aunt at home to come to your restaurant to help? Have you given her double your salary?"
"You are the one who is mean, right? You give me one piece of money to do two jobs. Xiao Zhao, let's not come to the store to help anymore. Why don't we just stay at home and play? Plant flowers and bask in the sun." Meng Li looked at it again By Zhao Junfen.
Zhao Junfen just said: "I can't take any time off, so I just want to work. I'm probably a tired person." She also laughed at herself.
Meng Li thought for a while and said:
"Then you can work in the shop with me from now on. I have a lot of work there."
"But it's easier than here anyway."
Wang Kai'an: "..."
Zhao Junfen: "..."
Successfully rendered both of them speechless.
Seeing that they were silent, Meng Li asked again, "Aren't you willing to get along with me?"
"Yes, how could I not be willing?" Zhao Junfen said quickly.
Meng Li smiled: "That's good. Let's go to the store together tomorrow."
"Let's go home together." Meng Li looked at her gently.
Zhao Junfen looked at the time and nodded. It was time to go home and cook. After following Meng Li home, she got into the kitchen.
Meng Li used his mental energy to observe Zhao Junfen's room, wondering where he should hide it to keep it secret.
Lingling came out and saw Meng Li playing. After what happened yesterday and today, she didn't dare to ask her to help. She didn't even want to say anything to Meng Li, so as not to cause trouble for herself.
But now the child was not sleeping, and her mother-in-law was unwilling to show it to her, and she could not help. She could only hold the child in the kitchen and chat with Zhao Junfen for a while. While cooking, she carried the child into the house. The child smelled Not those smells.
After dinner, Zhao Junfen had not said anything, but Meng Li took the initiative to say:
"I see that you are really a restless person, but I won't open a shop today, so if you want to go to Kai An's shop, you can go."
Zhao Junfen: "..."
I always feel like everything has been said by the other party, and they are always arranging things for me, which makes me feel like I am being led around by others.
To be honest, there are things you want to do on your own, which are different concepts from arranging things for you to do by others. Doing things arranged by others is not enjoyable.
But she went anyway.
Meng Li also knew that Lingling had something to go out in the afternoon, so after Zhao Junfen left, she waited silently in the living room for Lingling to pack up and go out.
"Mom, Aunt Zhao is gone. Please help me take care of the child."
"I'll be back in two or three hours." She was afraid that Meng Li wouldn't want to, so she said.
Anyway, she was the one who asked Aunt Zhao to leave, so she had a reason to ask her to look after the child.
