the days are still long

Chapter 59 Instead of resentment and entanglement, it is better to find your own happiness
"Old Zhao, thank you." Su Mei said sincerely, and shook Zhao Bonian's hand instead.

Zhao Bonian said sincerely, "I should thank you, thank you for your tolerance for my daughter, and thank you for your understanding of me."

"Thank you for what I did, and I didn't do anything."

Su Mei was a little ashamed, Zhao Bonian would deliberately please her in order to build a good relationship with her daughter, while she, at best, avoided it, in order to avoid conflicts.

Zhao Bonian sighed, and the hand held by Su Mei tightened again, "If you don't say anything or do anything, that's the best way to understand me."

How could her daughter not know, and Su Mei never said a word about her daughter from the beginning to the end, let alone complained. Such a good woman is really too rare in this society.

Su Mei didn't say anything, just smiled lightly, compared with Zhao Bonian, what she did was really not good enough.

-

As soon as Lin Tingting sat down in her seat, Xia Yuzhe leaned on the desk and asked in a low voice, "Lin Tingting, is it your aunt who sent you to school?"

Lin Tingting turned her head to look at Xia Yuzhe, took off her schoolbag and put it on the desk without saying a word.

Xia Yuzhe wanted to continue to say something, the English teacher had already entered the classroom with the test paper of this monthly exam, Xia Yuzhe had to find out the test paper of this monthly exam, and listened carefully to the teacher's explanation.

"Lin Tingting, you have been depressed all morning, and you didn't tell me when I asked you, what's the matter?"

Xia Yuzhe finally found a chance to ask during the free time in physical education class.

Lin Tingting walked to the viewing stand next to the playground, sat down in a random position, looked at the playground blankly, still depressed.

Xia Yuzhe was anxious, and sat down in the empty seat beside Lin Tingting, "You are talking, didn't Aunt Su take you over yesterday!"

I was still happy yesterday, but after a night, I started to be depressed again.

Lin Tingting turned to Xia Yuzhe, and the fourteenth girl was frowning, "My mother is dating Uncle Zhao."

Xia Yuzhe.
I didn't realize who this 'Uncle Zhao' was for a while.

After he reacted, he asked, "Uncle Zhao is Aunt Su's current boyfriend?"

Lin Tingting nodded.

Just as Xia Yuzhe was about to say something else, Lin Tingting said, "I don't want my mother to be with Uncle Zhao. I'm afraid that my mother won't like me if she has younger brothers and sisters."

After all, they were still teenagers. Hearing what Lin Tingting said, Xia Yuzhe didn't know how to comfort her.

And Lin Tingting just looked at Xia Yuzhe like this, not knowing whether it was because she was helpless or because she wanted him to help her find a way.

Xia Yuzhe frowned, as if thinking about something, then raised his head to look at Lin Tingting after a while, "I believe Aunt Su is not that kind of person."

"What if Uncle Zhao doesn't like me?" Lin Tingting murmured.

Girls at this age have no sense of security. At the beginning, Bai Meina really didn't tell Lin Tingting how well she was, but since she became pregnant, she gradually ignored her, so that she became impatient now.

It is precisely because of the example of Bai Meina that Lin Tingting is worried that Zhao Bonian will be like Bai Meina.

Xia Yuzhe held Lin Tingting's hand tightly, "So you have to study hard, and you will be admitted to a key university in the future. Once you become independent, you don't have to depend on anyone."

The boy's clear eyes were full of encouragement, Lin Tingting nodded to Xia Yuzhe's eyes, "Yeah."

-

Su Mei didn't expect that Duan Yaning invited her to eat at home to complain to her.

Duan Yaning sat on the sofa crying and threw the tissue all over the floor.

".I know I can't have children, so for so many years, I know that he has a woman outside and pretend not to know.
He has always used the excuse of being busy with work, and I have put up with it, but this time he will divorce me as soon as he comes back, saying that the child is going to elementary school, and he can't let the child pretend to be an illegitimate child anymore."

From Duan Yaning's cry, Su Mei knew that Duan Yaning and Cao Mingjun were not real DINKs, but because Duan Yaning was barren.

Only then did Su Mei realize that it was not Duan Yaning Dink, but that she was infertile, and was about to comfort her when Duan Yaning continued to cry.

"In the past few years, I have suffered so much and suffered so much in order to have a child. Ovulation injections and dredging of the fallopian tubes, it was he who said that I did not want children because of the suffering I suffered. Now that I have an illegitimate child, he still wants to divorce me."

Facing such a situation, Su Mei didn't know how to comfort her.

The current Duan Yaning is just like herself in her previous life, forcing herself into a dead end and refusing to come out.

The only difference is that she did something stupid when she found out about Lin Zuo and Bai Meina's affair, while Duan Yaning knew that there was a woman outside Cao Mingjun but pretended not to, just to maintain this marriage that was already dead in name only.

But now, the children of Cao Mingjun and the women outside are about to go to elementary school, so Cao Mingjun is even more beastly than Lin Zuo.

Fortunately, Duan Yaning has a job and doesn't need to depend on Cao Mingjun.

Taking a deep breath, Su Mei passed another piece of paper to Duan Yaning, "Ya Ning, as someone who has been here, she is actually pretty good alone.

For so many years, you and Cao Mingjun have been living in two places, in fact, you are no different from one person. "

Duan Yaning took the paper and blew her nose, then continued to cry and said, "I know it too, but I just don't want it"

"You said that if he told me that a perfect family must have a child, I wouldn't give up, but he, while saying that he would never have children in his life, secretly had a child with another woman outside. Child Su Mei, do you think I am the biggest fool in the world?"

Duan Yaning threw herself into Su Mei's arms while crying.

Su Mei hugged Duan Yaning instinctively, and gently patted Duan Yaning's back to comfort her, "It's not that you are stupid, it's that you are too kind."

At this time, Su Mei also finally understood that every time Duan Yaning said "I want to spend time with her" after drinking, she was not joking, but the pain in her heart, and she couldn't confide in others.

No amount of consolation about this kind of thing is futile, and Duan Yaning, the person involved, must figure it out on his own before he can get out of the dead end.

Duan Yaning continued to cry, pouring out all the grievances of these years. Su Mei gently stroked Duan Yaning's back, giving silent comfort.

After crying for several hours, Duan Yaning was almost exhausted. She got up from Su Mei, took another piece of paper and wiped her eyes and nose, then threw the paper towel on the ground, and sucked her nose vigorously.

"Su Mei, you are right! Although there is Cao Mingjun, there is no difference between having him and not having him."

"Anyway, he said that after the divorce, the house will belong to me. I have a car, a house and a job. Without his husband in name, I might live a better life!"

Su Mei knew that Duan Yaning was comforting herself with cruel words.

But whether it's comforting or harsh words, it's a good thing for Duan Yaning to think this way.

Binding others because of unwillingness, although it is the best revenge, doesn't it also bury one's own happiness with him.

Sometimes when you let others go, you also let yourself go.

In fact, a person's life is not very long. Instead of entanglement and resentment, it is better to find your own happiness.

Su Mei didn't know whether Duan Yaning really figured it out or wanted to vent her emotions by eating. After crying, Duan Yaning took Su Mei to the supermarket to buy ingredients, saying that she wanted to eat the dishes made by Su Mei.

Su Mei couldn't refuse, and in this situation, Duan Yaning was really worried about leaving Duan Yaning alone at home. Besides, Duan Yaning helped her a lot when she was in the most difficult time, so Su Mei had to go to the supermarket with Duan Yaning.

After school time, many parents waited outside the school gate for their children to leave school. Zhao Bonian did not expect to have such an experience in his lifetime.

Standing with those parents, staring at the gate of the school, for fear that they will not be able to take care of their children at a glance, and that kind of mood really feels like "wishing to see through".

It was the first time for Zhao Bonian to pick up his child. When he divorced Zhao Jiale's mother, Zhao Jiale was still in kindergarten. At that time, he was the one who dropped by his daughter to the kindergarten at work most of the time, and Zhao Jiale's mother came to pick up the child at night.

As time went by, Zhao Jiale's mother began to complain, and later the couple divorced because he was too busy to take care of the mother and daughter.

Now being able to pick up her daughter from school for Su Mei can be regarded as making up for Zhao Bonian's regret.

Staring closely at the school gate, Zhao Bonian waved instinctively when Lin Tingting came out, "Here!"

After school time, there are many students walking out of the school gate, and there are also many parents waiting outside the school.

And Zhao Bonian didn't know who he was calling, and his voice was completely unfamiliar to Lin Tingting, so Lin Tingting didn't notice it at all.

Xia Yuzhe and Lin Tingting came out together. The two children were in the same class in elementary school, and later entered key middle schools, where they were assigned to the same class and shared the same table, so the friendship between the two children was even deeper.

"Lin Tingting, didn't Aunt Su come to pick you up?" Xia Yuzhe looked around instinctively, but he didn't see Su Mei, so he asked concerned.

Lin Tingting also instinctively looked towards the group of parents, but she didn't see her mother, she lowered her head in disappointment, "My mother may be working overtime today."

"Tingting, here!" Seeing Lin Tingting looking this way, Zhao Bonian raised his hand to call again.

Hearing someone calling her name, Lin Tingting instinctively looked up.

Xia Yuzhe heard it too, looking at the strange man who was waving warmly towards himself and Lin Tingting, Xia Yuzhe asked curiously, "Lin Tingting, is that uncle calling you?"

Lin Tingting.
Pursing her lips, her voice couldn't be lower, "He is Uncle Zhao."

"Is he that friend of Aunt Su?" Xia Yuzhe asked instinctively.

Before Lin Tingting could say anything else, Zhao Bonian had already come to her, "Tingting, your mother has something to do and can't come here today, so I asked Uncle Zhao to pick you up."

Lin Tingting pursed her lips and looked at Zhao Bonian without saying a word.

Xia Yuzhe, who was standing beside her, had already greeted her, "Hi Uncle Zhao, I am Lin Tingting's deskmate, Xia Yuzhe."

"Oh, hello." Zhao Bonian stretched out his hand, the instinctive reaction of many years of entertainment, and also the respect for Lin Tingting's tablemate.

Xia Yuzhe scratched his head in embarrassment, then shook hands with Zhao Bonian, "Uncle Zhao, you are very kind."

Zhao Bonian smiled, "It should be, this is a polite expression."

After shaking hands with Xia Yuzhe, Zhao Bonian looked at Lin Tingting, "Let's go, let's eat first, and Uncle Zhao will send you back after we fill our stomachs."

Lin Tingting did not leave with Zhao Bonian immediately, but unloaded her schoolbag to take out her mobile phone, "I'll call my mother first."

"Come on, call Uncle Zhao, you tell mom." Seeing Lin Tingting rummaging through her phone and unpacking her schoolbag, Zhao Bonian thoughtfully dialed Su Mei's number, and then handed over the phone.

Xia Yuzhe helped Lin Tingting carry her schoolbag, but Lin Tingting looked at the mobile phone that was delivered but did not answer it.

Xia Yuzhe took it with one hand and handed it to Lin Tingting, who then took it and put the phone to her ear.

The bell rang for a while before Su Mei answered the phone, "Old Zhao, what's the matter?"

"Mom, it's me." Lin Tingting said loudly, holding the shoulder strap of her schoolbag in one hand, and Xia Yuzhe was still helping her hold the bottom of her schoolbag thoughtfully.

Zhao Bonian stood in front of her with a smile, showing no signs of impatience or displeasure.

"Tingting, what's wrong?"

The daughter took Zhao Bonian's mobile phone and called herself. Su Mei thought something happened. Duan Yaning just cried and was emotionally unstable, so it was Su Mei who was driving, and the bluetooth headset of Bie Zai Xin kept flashing.

As for Duan Yaning, who was in the co-pilot, she leaned on the backrest and stared blankly at the front without any reaction.

"Mom, have you finished your work, when will you be home?"

"Tingting, something happened to your Auntie Duan. Mom has to stay with her and won't go back until later. If you are alone at home, I'm afraid that Mom will let Uncle Zhao stay with you, okay?"

"No, I'm not afraid." Lin Tingting refused flatly, and instinctively looked at Zhao Bonian when she spoke.

"Well, Mom, try to go back as early as possible, and go have dinner with Uncle Zhao first."

Lin Tingting gave a disgruntled 'oh', and she didn't forget to ask Su Mei to go home early before hanging up the phone.

When Lin Tingting returned the phone to Zhao Bonian, Zhao Bonian asked with a smile, "Can we go with Uncle Zhao now?"

Lin Tingting pursed her lips and hesitated, "Can I let my classmate go with me?"

Zhao Bonian instinctively glanced at Xia Yuzhe who was still helping Lin Tingting with her schoolbag, and agreed with a smile, "Okay, Uncle Zhao still worries that it's not interesting to eat just the two of us."

Lin Tingting and Xia Yuzhe followed Zhao Bonian to the car. Zhao Bonian planned to let the two children sit in the back and he would be the driver, but when Zhao Bonian opened the rear door for the two children, Xia Yuzhe took the initiative to open the passenger door , "Uncle Zhao, can I sit here?"

"Of course." Zhao Bonian said with a smile.

Lin Tingting, who was about to sit in the back seat, glanced at Xia Yuzhe, moved her lips, but said nothing.

On the way to eat, Xia Yuzhe asked curiously, "Uncle Zhao, how old are you this year?"

If it were any other man, if a kid asked about his age, he would probably ignore him at all, but Zhao Bonian said with a smile, "Uncle Zhao is going to be fifty soon."

"Which company do you work for, Uncle Zhao?" Xia Yuzhe asked again.

Zhao Bonian was not impatient at all, "Uncle Zhao doesn't go to work, he opened a small processing factory."

"Oh, then the business of your processing factory must be very good." Xia Yuzhe continued to chat with Zhao Bonian.
