Garden of Time and Space

Chapter 187 The Third Time and Space 33
Xie Jiao recalled her contact with Xie Ting during this period, "She loves beauty very much. No matter how late she gets off work every day, she will take time to take care of her face. She will also insist on reading a book and doing yoga every day. Later, I got together with Uncle Chen, and when the economic conditions improved, she would go to the gym and beauty salon regularly to buy expensive cosmetics for herself. She was very willing to spend money on herself, and she would also go to some tea art classes or cooking classes , but although she is rich, she did not give up her job and worked as hard as before. Even if she has no time to accompany me, she still insists on doing her own thing. I think she is a relatively selfish mother, but to be honest, I don’t I don’t dislike her like this, because every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, she will make me feel very face, because my classmates will envy me for having such a young and beautiful mother when they see her. She also looks good on me. But I I don't know why Uncle Chen likes her so much. In fact, Uncle Chen is a person who relies on others for everything. Of course, Auntie, I don't want to say good things for my mother. It is indeed her problem that she intervenes in your family. I fell in love with Uncle Chen because he was rich, but to be honest, I don’t think my mother’s thoughts are all on Uncle Chen. In fact, she cares more about herself. Give up work and get off work early. When she is not working overtime, she will cook for me and Uncle Chen. , she chatted with Uncle Chen about work, or about interesting things in their company, or she just praised Uncle Chen with a look of admiration, saying that she must have saved the Milky Way in her previous life to meet Uncle Chen in this life. Said It seemed that if it wasn’t for Uncle Chen, we both would have starved to death. In fact, it wouldn’t be the case at all. After eating, it was almost me who went to study. She played some light music for Uncle Chen, then made tea for Uncle Chen, and then she brushed The bowl is gone, after cleaning the bowl, cut some fruit, give me one, and the two of them will eat the other while watching TV. On weekends, she asks the aunt of the housekeeping company to clean up, and then she and Chen Ming go out together Going for a walk, or watching a movie together at home, sometimes, she will accompany Uncle Chen out to socialize, or prepare a table of dishes, and then entertain Uncle Chen's friends to get together. Uncle specially went to learn Chinese medicine and massage, and sometimes Uncle Chen’s neck hurts, so she would massage for him.”

Xie Jiao recalled it again carefully, "It's probably like this."

Zhang Xiao: "So, she doesn't do housework, but finds part-time workers to do it?"

Xie Jiao nodded, "She said that doing housework will make her hands rough and old, and if she does too much, she will naturally feel unbalanced, and Uncle Chen is not short of the money for a part-time job, so she might as well save the time for doing housework, Go to study to improve yourself, so that you can maintain a good mood, and you will not complain when you are in a good mood, and spending Uncle Chen’s money, looking up at Uncle Chen, will make Uncle Chen feel particularly fulfilled. She said that in this way, she and Uncle Chen The relationship will also be better. And she has made herself better, and Uncle Chen is willing to take her out."

After Xie Jiao finished speaking, the surroundings fell into silence again. Zhang Xiao stared blankly, as if she was still remembering what Xie Jiao said just now, and after Xie Jiao finished talking about Xie Ting's lifestyle, she also suddenly realized something.

Although she doesn't like Xie Ting's character, she has to admit that many of Xie Ting's actions are correct.Whether there is Chen Ming or not, she is not affected. She has been working hard to improve herself, both internally and externally.Xie Jiao knew the things she sometimes said to Xie Jiao. In fact, she was a cold person in her heart. Xie Jiao's indifference in this world was also inherited from her, but she was very gentle towards Chen Ming on the surface. Fooling Chen Ming, but in fact, she only loves herself. Although she is selfish, she does not suffer at all. If Chen Ming betrays Xie Ting like Zhang Xiao, then Xie Ting will definitely not be like Zhang Xiao. Zhang Xiao is so sad, even if he is sad, he will never be as remorseful as Zhang Xiao, and feel that it is too much for him to be wronged.

Moreover, Xie Ting is indeed very beautiful, not only has a beautiful face, but also has a good temperament, and she is also good at dressing. Unlike Zhang Xiao, she is worn out by life. She always has a clear goal, seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, Let life nourish itself better.Sometimes, Xie Jiao would stare blankly at her, thinking she was as good-looking as a movie star.And Xie Jiao had seen Xie Ting's photos when she was young, and she was not as beautiful as she is now.

And think about it cruelly, although Xie Ting destroyed other people's families, but in the world of the weak and the strong, rich and boring men can't find girlfriends, while rich and powerful men can have many girlfriends, women are men's. Meat, you can think in another way, men, isn’t it the same as women’s meat, in the world of adults, put aside feelings, think rationally, what is not the winner?Chen Ming is scumbag, but if Zhang Xiao and Xie Ting stand together and let Xie Jiao choose, she will also want to choose Xie Ting.

Everyone wants to be with the good one, but Zhang Xiao, she is very innocent, she is a victim, but she is indeed at fault, but her biggest fault is not that she mistrusted Chen Ming, but that she has given all She put all her thoughts on Chen Ming, Chen Shuo and this family. She wanted to help Chen Ming and make Chen Ming better. She was full of her husband, but she forgot about herself. The firewood, rice, oil, and salt have worn herself out, and it is she who has made herself dry and old.In the end, she regretted and was unwilling, but it was too late.But on the other hand, who is to blame?Do you blame Chen Ming?But Chen Ming didn't affect Xie Ting.

We can't guarantee that we can meet a good lover, but we can control ourselves, no matter what kind of person we meet, we can live a good life, so that no matter what happens, we will not become unlucky.

Thinking about Xie Ting, Zhang Xiao and Chen Ming, thinking about the things they experienced in this illusory world, and the attitudes of the three of them in life, at this moment, looking at their broken marriage, Xie Jiao suddenly understood something.A good marriage, if you want to keep it going, it’s not about paying unilaterally, consuming yourself blindly, putting all your thoughts on the other person, and thinking that the husband is good enough for the family, but you have to be full of enthusiasm for life and take care of each other. At the same time, don't forget to enrich yourself, two people make progress together and get better together, so that even if the love is worn out by the years, the two people can still be evenly matched and move forward side by side.Even if there is interference from the outside world, one of the parties is confused and wants to separate, but looking at the excellent partner around him, he will weigh the pros and cons and is reluctant to leave.

It’s like holding a diamond in your hand. No matter how beautiful the pebbles and rain flower stones you meet on the road are, just look at them. If you make another choice, no one will be so stupid as to throw away the diamond and choose something else.

After a while, in the silence, Xie Jiao heard Zhang Xiao's voice, she seemed to be talking to herself, "Yeah, I'm not short of money for housekeeping, but why was I reluctant at that time, why did I have to pay for it?" I did it myself. As a result, I am so tired every day. When Chen Ming gets off work, I naturally lose my face, so I complain about life and turn myself into a bitter woman. Now that I am old and ugly, Chen Ming will leave The family broke up, but Xie Ting spent my money to hire a housekeeper and took my husband away."

After finishing speaking, Zhang Xiao sneered, her eyes were full of regret and grief.

Seeing Zhang Xiao's sad look, Xie Jiao was a little anxious, she held Zhang Xiao's hand, "Auntie, don't be sad, you should also be sober, it's a good thing that Uncle Chen is gone, how scumbag he is, you now Don’t you already know? For a person like him, what’s the point of living with him? What you should do now is not to be sad or nostalgic, but to leave evidence of his cheating, and then find a lawyer to think about it How can you get more property to let him leave the house, and how should you live your life in the future to be the best for yourself? You have been selfless for most of your life, but have you received any benefits? What should you do now? Think about it yourself."

After finishing speaking, Xie Jiao was afraid that Zhang Xiao would misunderstand her meaning, so she immediately explained, "Auntie, I didn't ask you to give up my Uncle Chen because of my mother, I..."

Zhang Xiao smiled and patted the back of Xie Jiao's hand, "Auntie knows, you want your Uncle Chen to leave the house, how could Auntie misunderstand you, I know you are doing it for my own good. I understand, I understand now , I was blindly wronged and paid for everything. For this family, I thought I was great. Chen Ming should think me good, should be grateful to me for the rest of his life, and should not be separated from me, but now I know I was wrong, I made a mistake A common problem that many married women make is that they spend all their energy and time on family and daily trivialities. I don’t even remember what I am like. So Xie Jiao, you must not live like an aunt in the future , and don't destroy other people's families like your mother, but you have to live like your mother. As for me and Chen Ming, now that we have come to this point, I really shouldn't consume myself anymore, I should Let go, a bad marriage is like a cancer, it should be removed early and stop the damage in time. I understand, but..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Xiao gradually became a little melancholy again.

She looked at Xie Jiao, and asked her a little timidly: "But, I am already at this age, most of my life has passed, can I really start a new life?"

In Zhang Xiao's eyes, there seemed to be a kind of timidity about living alone in the future. Xie Jiao held her hand, "Of course you can, Auntie, as long as you want, you can start over at any time. As long as you have The determination to start over."

Zhang Xiao: "I have."
