    new year 4

    The snow that fell on the ground did not decrease at all during the alternation of day and night. During the day, it did not compete with the sun, but was willing to restrain its sharpness. When it was quiet late at night, the ground was covered with broken silver.

    Su Ji heard the quarrel early in the morning. Shen Meng told Su Shangjun at the top of her lungs about her difficulties, just like a shrew with her hands on her hips and scolded the street. Su Shangjun not only didn’t understand, but also didn’t pay attention to her accusations.

    “Isn’t it easy for you? Is it easy for me if it’s not easy for you? Who doesn’t work from early in the morning to late at night? I was scolded by my boss at the company, and I still have to look at your face at home. I’m really not satisfied with anything.”

    “You deserve to be scolded by your boss. Why are you yelling at me? I get up earlier than anyone else every day to prepare breakfast for you. If you don’t like it, I will pick and choose.” Shen Meng pointed at the half-eaten breakfast on the table, and the next second he poured it into the trash can and slammed the door.

    Su Ji had long been accustomed to this kind of scene, and covered his head after only hearing a word or two. Su Shangjun didn’t even eat breakfast, and ran a red light without paying attention on the way to work. He was stopped by the traffic police and fined two hundred yuan. When he arrived at the company, he didn’t like anyone. He ignored his colleagues’ greetings. As soon as he sat down at the workstation, the manager threw his plan away, and Li Laoyuan started scolding him.

    “Su Shangjun, what you wrote is like an old lady’s feet dancing on the keyboard. If you can do it, get out, if you can’t, get out. If you don’t deliver a satisfactory plan next Monday, not only will your year-end bonus be cancelled, but the bonus for your group will be halved.”

    After saying that, he returned to the office. The eyes of his colleagues wanted to insult him. Su Shangjun picked up the folder against everyone’s gaze and cursed in his mind while turning on the computer.

    “When you are a manager, you know how to drink tea. You drink it all into your brain. Your cerebellum has shrunk while sitting in the office. You can tell what’s wrong. If it weren’t for the Chinese New Year, one of us would have to go to the hospital today.”

    Although I was thinking about it, I had to start the planning project all over again. I worked overtime from morning until eleven o’clock in the evening. When I got home, I didn’t even have a hot meal. Shen Meng had already fallen asleep.

    Su Shangjun was unwilling to bow his head and admit his mistake first. After a stalemate for several days, Shen Meng suddenly came to him and threw a bunch of photos on the table. Su Shangjun thought that she couldn’t help but want to reconcile, but when he saw the person in the photo clearly, his lips were slightly opened in shock, and his lips were pale. For a moment, the sound of his heartbeat overwhelmed his brain.

    There were more than a dozen photos on the table, all of them about Shen Luo. His An Yu intimacy was clearly captured, and his face was a little shy. Su Shangjun was dumbfounded and slumped down on the chair.

    Shen Meng’s facial features were distorted in anger, and she had another argument with him: “Look at the good things your son has done. He did such a thing in broad daylight, and with a man.”

    Su Shangjun threw the photo far away, not daring to look at it a second time. When she shouted, his momentum instantly weakened by half, and said, “It’s also your son. If you had kept him by your side and educated him well, would this kind of thing have happened again?”

    “Su Shangjun, if your son is like this, you can get away with it?” Shen Meng looked like she had known this all along and wanted to slap him, but her reason still made her hold his hand.

    When she and Su Shangjun first met, it was too much of a coincidence, and then when he confessed to her later, he acted flawlessly. Anyone who met him would say that he was a person worth trusting for life.

    Not only did he deceive Shen Meng, but he also deceived himself.

    It only took less than half a year for the two to get married. After the marriage, he changed jobs and was always socializing outside. Sometimes he even specifically told her that they were all colleagues and there were no women. The video was accompanied by the teasing of his colleagues, which made Shen Meng think that he was such a sensible man and never got into trouble with female colleagues.

    Living like this until she got pregnant for the first time, Shen Meng felt that his temperament had changed a lot from before marriage. He didn’t care at first, but when he became pregnant with Shen Luo, he realized that Su Shangjun was not as simple and honest as he seemed, and his practicality in front of others was just for outsiders to see.

    Shen Meng was already in labor at that time, and she always had to think about the child in her belly, thinking that even if she could live a stable life in the future, just the day before Shen Luo was born, Su Shangjun was still socializing with his colleagues outside, and no one came when he entered the delivery room. It was already the next day when he opened his eyes again.

    Su Shangjun squatted in a mess at the door of the ward. The drunkenness last night had not completely faded away. When he arrived at the hospital, the baby had already been delivered. When Shen Meng saw him, he suddenly lost control of his emotions and loudly asked him where he had been last night.

    He knew he was in the wrong and said with a guilty conscience: “Socializing with colleagues.”

    Shen Meng fainted from the pain soon after the operation and lost control of her emotions. The doctor rushed to the bed. You could tell how angry the doctor was just by looking at his brows.

    “Are you a family member of the patient?” After receiving a positive answer, the doctor asked: “Do you know that the patient’s emotional excitement will tear the wound and cause massive bleeding.”

    Su Shangjun panicked and held the doctor’s arm without letting go, “Doctor, I won’t do it next time. Please save her.”

    The doctor rolled his eyes after hearing what he said. He didn’t know who he was talking to, “Just say it like a fart. When you feel comfortable, you don’t forget to disgust others.”

    Su Shangjun was asked out by the doctor and said, “Family members, please wait outside. The patient needs to rest.”

    Shen Meng fell asleep. The child was born on the winter solstice. It will be the New Year in a while. You can’t stay in the hospital during the New Year. The old man said it was unlucky. So Shen Meng went through the discharge procedures on the third day. On the day of discharge, Su Shangjun only waited downstairs and got off the car when he saw people coming out. You MinSeeing Shen Meng who had aged ten years overnight, he couldn’t say a word in his heart. He insisted on taking care of her and moved her there, taking care of her all day long. The house was not big and it became even smaller after You Min came. There was no way for anyone to live in it anymore, so Roland had no choice but to go back.

    After confinement, You Min reluctantly left. Shen Meng looked at the clothes in the closet every day and couldn’t stop crying. She never thought that one day she would envy people who were running around outside.

    Even after her confinement, she still couldn’t see the wind, and the doors and windows at home were tightly closed. Su Shangjun still left early and came back late. The food on the table would be cold when he came back in the evening. Sometimes, he would just make a phone call in the middle of the night and not come back, and the food on the table would be left until the next day.
