Chapter 20 Chapter 20 The Angry Woman
In a person's life, there are two things that cannot be escaped, one is death, and the other is that her husband ran away with her younger crush.These are the things that go through my mind as I microwave my kids' barely edible food.
In these microwave foods, I also added my deep guilt, because I have to use these things to send them away again, and go out by myself!I found a babysitter impromptu (it would be nice if the supermarket sold ready-to-use babysitter cans), and then ran to Hannah at the charity gala at the Modern Gallery, and told her that there was something more urgent than the gala, please ask her Be sure to come out.
On the way to Jess's house, I reported the latest news to Hannah - in fact, the richness that Stuart puts on is an illusion!
I finally arrived in Hampshire, where Jess's family is located, and my heart was really heavy.We marched through the door of her house as a two-man armored unit, and saw Jess greet us in her apron, her hair tied up, and her hands covered in flour. She had a smile on her face, but she couldn't hide it. The fact that the eyes are swollen from crying.
Plus, she's got a needle in her hand!
"Jess, what are you doing with this syringe?" Hannah said half-coaxingly, somewhat disturbed by the awkwardness of her overreacting.
"Oh, because someone's old life is going to die." Jess waved the syringe casually, "My husband said he was going to kill me, and Kathy can testify. It's my new motto to strike first, I want to kill him before our big doctor kills me—let him die suddenly from a heart attack, it's that simple!"
"Jess, honey, give me the syringe, good boy." I coaxed me nicely, as if coaxing a child, "You know Stuart was joking with you."
After a while of snatching, the needle sprayed out an unknown liquid, and drops of yellow liquid oozed out and dripped on the stone steps under my feet.
"It's lard! From now on, I'm going to inject enough lard in my husband's food to cause a heart attack! David always admired my cooking skills, maybe that's what he still has with me The main reason! Ah! I'm helping him cook dinner!"
I followed her into the kitchen, and she repeatedly filled the syringe with lard, and then poured it all into the fat and smooth hairless chicken on the baking tray.
"But this chicken hasn't been completely thawed yet!" I reminded, scraping off layers of thin ice on the wrinkled chicken.
"Oh, I know. I actually parboiled this chicken before, refrigerated it, and now I'm taking it out and cooking it. It's a new way, it's called 'Salmon's Roast Chicken.'"
"Salmonella can kill people!"
"That's right...that's what I want."
"Jess, you go to a missionary school, what will the nuns say?" Hannah reminded her that she was really scared.
"I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me. I haven't believed in religion since I was fifteen. But after you left, Casey, I suddenly realized that I still have a beautiful second half of my life to live, and that's the life after my husband's death!" Jess After speaking, she danced lightly, and the hem of the skirt floated up with the circle. "We have to think about how to write an advertisement for recruiting new boyfriends? Men who are optimistic, reliable, and don't like to push themselves, and men who can help with cooking and cleaning when we are at work are welcome to sign up."
Hannah's face twisted as if she had sucked lemon juice. "There are more important things in life than work. Can you sit down and let me pour you a glass of wine?" She really couldn't stand it anymore, and a trace of sympathy flashed across her face.
"Dr. David Storland's kindness is all fake! The real reason why he often travels to Africa is because he treats refugees as guinea pigs for anti-aging products, and he mortgaged our house because of this. Obviously He has been missing for the past five years, he couldn't pay the money, and owed a lot of debts, the house was seized by the bank, and he was threatened by others. Didn't Kathy tell you?" Jessie said Fingers with pink glossy nail polish slapped the hair in front of him, and the face was covered with flour.
"Now I understand what Sylvia Plath is! I really understand! Marriage itself is golden and jade, but also corrupt, and it may be fatal! Lard, lard..." She continued to suck up the needle Then pour the lard into the half-cooked chicken. "What the hell am I going to do to get rid of him? I mean, men are always proclaiming how strong they are by hammering their stomachs with their fists, but few dare to prove it with a ten-inch table knife. If I kill He, and then create the illusion of accidental death, so that he can get his insurance money, anyway, he is also planning to do this to me. In this way, like most wives, I have one or two extra money on hand. Millions, you can spend them however you like, especially since I don’t have any..."
She paused, she couldn't say the word "homeless"!
"I mean, I'm short of a house to live in right now."
I looked at Hannah in horror.Jess is not a sinister and cunning person. What she did to Stuart may only be regarded as an accident at first, but it will eventually escape the profound eyes of the forensic doctor.At that time, he will be seen through, and he will die of a heart attack. It is completely manipulated by his wife!
"Hannah, do you know what he wants? Did Kathy tell you? He wants custody of Josh!"
"What? I thought he was dying to lose custody!" Hannah helped herself to a seat on the divan against the wall in the dining room and put her taffeta evening dress on.
"That's ridiculous!" I felt a little pathetic. "I mean, father and son are related by blood, yes, but that's all there is to it."
"If he gets custody, you can watch it, and he won't have to pay me a dime for alimony!"
"But Josh is almost an adult!"
"It doesn't count until he graduates. He will continue to go to college and live at home with me, but my crazy husband doesn't want to pay half a cent at all!"
"Aside from those things, it's good for them to separate." I said to Hannah sarcastically, "Their husband and wife play hard, one is half a catty, the other is eight taels!"
"Look at what I found today." Jess stuffed me with a clipping torn out of a newspaper, "The phone number of the murder scene cleaning service company, the full package of dismemberment, I just need to dismember him , put it in the food processor, and then it will be easy. This is a must-have little secret for modern housewives! It is called 'The Secret Method of Killing Husbands 101-Your Household Helper'."
"Stop your crazy talk!" Hannah shouted, "Can you sit down and talk about something practical?" She patted the empty seat on the sofa beside her, "Do you know any accountants? Is there any accountant at his house?" phone number?"
"It's not crazy talk! The reality is like this. My husband can only bring you happiness for two days. One day is the day you marry him, and the other day is the day you bury him!" Jie Si giggled, looking Not to lose the witch in Shakespeare's "Macbeth".
"Stewy won't get Josh's custody." I put a hand on Jiexin's shoulder, trying to reassure her, "It's always a mother's role to be strong in the wind and rain!"
"A son needs a mother." Hannah put Jess on the other shoulder, "You must cheer up for your son, dear."
I suddenly thought of how Bianca, the person-stealer, flattered my children and intervened in their lives. When I thought about it, my skin suddenly became as fragile as paper, and I was burned by Bianca's flattering words two or three times His cheeks burned with anger.
"Josh's friends, dreams, fears and hopes, I know very well. And what he thinks, how he feels, his pranks, I know it all. What do I live for? The jeans my son just changed out of and so on Let me go to wash, he will give me a hug every morning before going out, I can smell the fragrance of his hair. Am I asking too much?"
"Honey, no," I comforted her and kissed her forehead, "No."
"Jess, seriously think about the accountant's phone number and bank account information. Have you hired a lawyer?" Hannah insisted. She sat down with pen and paper ready, "If he didn't ask the credit bureau to follow you That's it, Nong, and photos! I warned you that it's useless to have an affair with Stretch! But did you listen to me? No!"
Jess leaned against the sink at the back, raised her head, but her eyes were full of mania, looking down at Hannah. "Don't you want to say that David and I should have gone to marriage counseling? Oh! That method really works for Kathy, doesn't it? Her husband is now living with a counselor - thank you Blessing!"
It was true, after the consultation was over, Roy also ran away.Because of Bianca's word, he let her go without shame, running faster than anything else, and I could only swallow my tears.
Hannah was annoyed by her, "I'm sorry, but you're the one who broke Kathy's marriage! She's doing well and the marriage is happy, it's all because of your cock, Jesmy."
It's also true, under the instigation of Jess, I'm like a female stuntman in a stunt show, desperately trying to challenge the limits of the emotional world, and then what?It turns out I was wrong!My lower lip began to tremble.
"I didn't interfere with her." Jess poked Hannah's chest with her sharp nails. The strength was not strong, but it made Hannah stand up.She dragged her evening gown and walked forward, and the hem of the skirt made a friction sound as she moved, "I only point out that she is the one who suffers, the rest is Kathy's own business, I just helped her 'recognize herself' It's just a little favor." After saying that, Jie Si started to circle around indiscriminately.
Hannah, whom I dragged from the charity gala, rudely popped a few nuts into her mouth and munched. "Jess, your problem is that on the surface you hate all the men on earth, but in your heart you only hate certain men."
"That's how I am! Look at how Roy treats Casey. The nature of a man is to be a liar, a double-faced despicable villain!"
"Cessandra, do you agree with this childish statement?" Hannah asked me haughtily.
I took a deep breath and racked my brain for a best-of-both-worlds answer to suppress the simmering tension. "Hey, it occurred to me that Jenny had a dirty, stupid mouse named after her daddy. It hid in the mouse tower in its cage all day, and only came down to eat and mate. One day Well, my husband has a friend who is a visiting veterinarian, and I asked him to neute Roy, and when he realizes that I didn’t mean my husband when I said Roy, I took him to eunuch the little male mouse.”
"Look! 'Castration' is what husbands all over the world need! Maybe we can sneak their Viagra into estrogen? Or maybe sprinkle a little on their cornflakes! Or... I know! ’ Jess’ apron tie loosened as she twirled wildly in the kitchen, ‘I could tell Billy to kill him! Why didn’t I think of that before? Anyway, my boyfriend is a murderer Miles! He can also kill your husbands—those duplicity liars and scum!"
Hannah tapped her fingers on the table, "Not all husbands are dishonest. Pascal is very loyal to me. He supports my career development. We are very, very happy."
Jess jumped and jumped, and suddenly turned around, "Is he still there?" Her tone was full of danger, as if a switch had been turned on. "Hannah, your self-righteous attitude really disgusts me, I'm very annoying to see it! Husbands all over the world have ulterior motives, including yours!"
Angry veins popped out of Hannah's forehead, and she slammed the table again, "That's the latest topic you posted at the women's knitting tea, isn't it? Everyone knits and chews their tongues, whining first, then Say bad things about every man I know. Jess, you are not happy, I feel sorry for you, but I am really happy, why do you want to destroy your good friend's happiness? Do we have to be as unhappy as you? "
Jess raised her eyebrows, with a gesture of declaring war, "I'm not the kind of person who destroys friends' lives everywhere, or I would have told you the secrets of your husband!"
"What's the secret outside?" Hannah stared at Jess with a blank expression.
"Cough... let's not talk about this. I advise you to call the visiting veterinarian as soon as possible, because you have a big mouse in your hand!" I frantically used my teeth to tear off the spines around the nails, hating the feeling of being scared .
I was really intimidated!Anyway, I was almost scared to death, and I might die if I was scared again!Looks like this conversation is going on forever...
"Why do you say Pascal can't do without you?" Jess continued sweetly, "Think about it, what is your most attractive place? Your marble jacuzzi? Or your Mercedes convertible? "
Hannah waved her hand disapprovingly, "Again! I should start worrying, right?"
"Okay, you know what people say, stupid women always get rich! Pascal is looking for a woman who betrays him. There is actually another side to the man you love, admire, and praise so much. So Saying sorry to you, but..."
Although Hannah tried not to care, her voice was high and thin. "You're crazy enough, you know that?"
"David has been his doctor since the two of them were in school, and has filled him with prescriptions that have come and gone. He's often at home seeing old friends and family, and those poor people, Those who go to the doctor in a hurry will talk about the pain and so on.
"Hey, you also know that I've been secretly watching Stuart for a while, so last week I went through the filing cabinet where he stored his medical records, and he locked that cabinet, and then, I saw your husband All confidential information. Pascal was looking for David privately because of a very personal matter. This matter is... Hannah, who... uh... he has a love nest with an art school student .she……"
Before saying the final breaking point, Jess hesitated, "She... no, it was 'they' who gave birth to a son!"
Hannah breathed a sigh of relief first, and then smiled casually. "I thought you were going to say that he's got a gambling habit or something! Pascal hates kids! He's the one who makes fun of fathers, and walks around Sainsbury's with a 'tie' tied around his neck Parenting's invisible leash. You know that too, don't you?"
"It's not that he doesn't want to have children, it's that he doesn't want to have children with you! Hannah, it might be a bit harsh to say that, but all these years, he just treats you as a golden hen that lays golden eggs."
I stared blankly at Jess, this woman obviously took medicine from Stuart's doctor's bag and took it indiscriminately!
"What evidence do you have?" Hannah was aggressive, but her pursed lips were as tight as a fully drawn bow.
Jess then scrambled down the hallway and up the stairs in her satin house slippers, Hannah and I close behind.The three of us are like the fuse that ignites, and with every step we take, we are getting closer to detonating the bomb.
Walking to the mezzanine of the house, there is an office, twice the size of a small clinic.In the far corner is a diagnosis table, and the smooth as new walls are the color of nurses' uniforms.There were a lot of medicines and bandages inside, and the smell of disinfectant filled the air.
Jess took out a key from the leg of the copper statuette, opened the filing cabinet, and opened the drawer inside the cabinet like a treasure.She threw a paper folder on the table, as if it had a contagious virus on it.
Hannah approached the table very slowly as if walking in water.She moves with every step, cautious and fearful like a novice skater.I was also very scared in my heart, and I walked to her side weakly, and followed her to read the content of the materials.
The file contained the medical records of Pascal Swann, a twenty-six-year-old woman named Shauna Sabon, and a five-year-old boy, Dylan Swann!
How my blood suddenly felt driven by the diesel engine.This is impossible!Ever since Roy betrayed me, everything is no longer peaceful!The floor in front of my eyes seemed to be in waves.
Hannah staggered slightly, leaned against the table, and tried to support herself.At first she said it was nothing, the atmosphere was full of pain, and the surroundings were eerily quiet.Finally, she finished reading all the documents, a line of tears slowly rolled down her face, and closed Shao Na's folder.
"She's only three percent body fat!" she said, her voice suddenly choked with sobs.
I didn’t want to believe it at first, but the fragments of the past were pieced together in an instant, and the truth was obvious——During Pascal’s vacation, he traveled abroad with his male friends, as he said, he went to Italy to pick high-end truffles, but he didn’t bring back half a truffle Truffles; he said to go to Russia to take a helicopter to play alpine skiing, but he didn't know how to ski at all; on weekends, he said he was going to paint in Cotswolds Field Park in west London, but he didn't bring back half of his oil paintings.
His studio was in Shoreditch, and Hannah was never allowed to visit him, she bought it for him!Now it seems that the fact is that Dylan and Shaona lived there.
"Since he has a child with her, why is he still with me? If he doesn't love me most, why doesn't he leave me?"
"Hmmm...how should I put it? A joint bank account? A vacation home in France? Or a first-class flight?" Jess yelled brazenly.
"Jess, that's enough!" I begged her to stop talking.
"Oh, but, you have everything else you should have. Is it that important whether he's having an affair?" Jess reproduced exactly what Hannah had said to her when she caught Stuart stealing a few months ago. Give it back to her. "It's just 'derailment'! Didn't you say that at the beginning? You also said: 'You won't be able to live like this?'"
"Jess, it's done!"
"Why? Why are you telling me this?" Hannah asked numbly.
"Please!" Jess' voice softened quite a bit, "You must have known something was wrong. You should have known it from the time you found the high-heeled shoe prints on the leather roof in the Jeep you bought for him!"
"I don't know anything!" Hannah's voice sounded rough and weak.
"I see. You keep your eyes open at work, and you keep one eye open and one eye closed at home, right? So you'd rather just sit back and watch?"
"Yes." Hannah said plaintively.
"If you're so happy, why aren't there more happy people? And, even if I don't tell you, you'll find out for yourself one day, and you'll be screaming, 'Why the hell aren't you? Tell me sooner?' I've been struggling with this for a week too, how can I know such a big thing and keep it from you? How I wish someone told me about Stuart so I don't have to waste my life It’s exhausting with him. Besides, maybe you already knew it, but you just didn’t tell me, didn’t you?” Jess moved the table with the skill of a professional moving company.
"You want me to pity you!" Hannah said bluntly, "but you are no different from the wild woman outside my husband now, you are sleeping with other women's men!" Paper that cuts people.Then, her words came out fiercely like sharp scissors: "You have become the Stooge of the women's world! You have become as hateful as the man you hate!"
Jess recoiled from this accusation, "You just vented your dissatisfaction on me because you dare not face the truth of your ignorance! Pascal's wedding vows should be changed to 'From now on, you will Half her income, sucking the woman dry and getting richer?' And you're gonna fucking say, 'I do!'"
"You've ruined my life!" said Hannah despondently. "You've ruined Kathy too, causing a rift between her and Roy, and you're the one who pushed her into the abyss she's in. You're the devil !"
And I looked at Jess in horror, "Confusion, heartbreak, despair... I hereby declare that your mission is over, Jesmy."
Jie thought of coming to express her comfort, and said something, but Hannah stopped her with a serious attitude.
"You're like a butterfly catcher who takes pleasure in collecting other people's emotional responses. You just pin the two of us to a board, watch us die, and build our pain on top of your joy. But you Do you know what I just thought of? You are so pitiful, like a moth that does not hesitate to jump into the flame!"
Under Hannah's blunt accusation, Jess's tough aura disappeared without a trace, replaced by a sad face.
"I've been brainwashing us, saying that a pretty face can heal wounds," Hannah said snortingly, "Look at you, in order to make your legs look longer, you're on the verge of a plastic surgery nightmare all day long; wearing tight clothes causes blood circulation Worse; you're switching angles all the time except in bed, just in case those little boyfriends see the cellulite on the back of your thighs!"
Jess's anklets, tan tattoos, and rubber bracelets suddenly seemed unappetizing and absurd to me.
"There's another thing you, a stupid woman, didn't think of, that is, those little white faces slept with you because they didn't bother to masturbate!"
Like an enraged cobra, Jess slammed into Hannah's face, ready to fight, and then Hannah fought back, like a farce.Then, like immature little girls, the two started pulling each other's hair. Their war didn't stop until Jess's crystal vase fell to the ground and broke.
I gasped.It was Jess's most precious thing, it was given to her by her mother before she passed away.Seeing the pink petals relentlessly scattered on the carpet, Jess turned from arrogance to sobbing inwardly.
But Hannah roared like a monster, dropped to her knees, beat her chest, and ripped her hair and tore the hem of her taffeta dress in a breakdown.Originally, her day started peacefully as usual, but later, like a ship without a rudder, it gradually drifted towards misfortune, and finally sank and disappeared.
What a wonderful trio!Women love to fantasize about being loved...uh...well!We are loved!But it doesn't refer to the kind of lingering with half-naked relatives with toned thighs in the spring dream.
Jess's husband left her with nothing.Hannah was badly cheated by her husband.
And I was ruined to pieces.It seems that the wedding vows really need to be changed!should be changed to -
You can admire and worship your husband, but remember to register all property in your name as much as possible...
