The ancients yearned to ascend to the heavens and become immortals, because they believed that the lives of immortals must be beyond the reach of human beings, which must be the best portrayal of happiness, otherwise there would be no such phrases as "I want to ride the wind and return home". To put it another way, for people with this kind of fantasy, their real life is mostly helpless and boring.If the real life is that there is no need to worry about food and clothing, all wishes come true, and everything goes well, who would dream of going to the sky to be happy and happy? Wen Jiajia has also been worrying about life, especially when she was trying to raise medical expenses for her father who was in a sudden illness.Later, when Lao Zhong appeared, her life was liberated, and she had a channel to vent her stress. Everything became like a fairy.

But after "becoming a fairy", Wen Jiajia also often had delusions. From time to time, she missed the hard times in the past, from time to time resented the current situation of self-abandonment, and from time to time cast aside what she and Lao Zhong did.She felt that she was contributing to the unhealthy trend of extramarital affairs, and she was maliciously sharing the fruits of victory on the basis of another woman's hard work. But what can she do?Complain about the high registration fees and surgical fees, complain about the large population and too few hospital beds, complain about the high prices and never have enough RMB to spend, or blame the society and the country?If this resentment continues, she will only become a complete angry youth, but the economic problem will not be resolved in the slightest.

If there is anyone Wen Jiajia feels most ashamed of, it must be Mrs. Zhong.But fortunately, there are several women who bear this guilt with her, which makes her mentally relaxed, but morally, she is still guilty and regrets it. When people encounter difficulties, they hope that powerful people will come from the sky to take them out of the sea of ​​suffering, because money can pass power.But people rarely think that when rich and powerful people encounter difficulties, it may be a major event that neither money nor power can save. For example, Lao Zhong's "fraud" behavior this time.

Although Wen Jiajia couldn't figure out why Lao Zhong couldn't think about cheating. Scam?Who can he lie to?Who else does he want to lie to?He has so much money that he won't be able to spend it all in his next life, so does he still need to cheat? At best, he can just bribe him, right? The above is just Wen Jiajia's subjective imagination. Objectively speaking, the misfortune that happened to Lao Zhong has nothing to do with others, and the earth is still turning. The bank will not be sad because of the loss of Lao Zhong as a customer, and Lao Zhong's dealer will never find someone else to replace him because of the loss of him. The driver and maid in Lao Zhong's family can also be Find another job, after all the rich people in this world need drivers and maids.

The biggest difference is probably only Mrs. Zhong and Wen Jiajia. No one knows how much Mrs. Zhong was affected, but Wen Jiajia was greatly affected by it.Not only did she get rid of the "young mistress" principle overnight, she also suddenly turned into a hardworking model worker, taking care of all the housework in the confinement center. During this period, Mrs. Huang was often shocked by Wen Jiajia's quick hands and feet, just like she was shocked by Wen Jiajia's princess disease back then. In the small yard of the confinement center, you can often see many clothes of adults and babies swaying on the clotheslines. These are Wen Jiajia's masterpieces, making them look white and elegant in the breeze and sunlight. dazzling.The air here is good, and you don't have to worry about a sudden burst of sand and dust to pollute them again after washing your clothes.Unlike in China, the majority of urban housewives face the fate of drying clothes that need to be washed twice from time to time.

This morning, Wen Jiajia went to the yard to dry clothes as usual. After she fixed the last piece of wet clothes on the lanyard, she entered the room with the empty basin in one hand and her big belly in the other, turned around and walked into the bathroom, picked up the toilet cleaner and brush on the side, and was about to work hard brush the toilet. Mrs. Huang passed by the bathroom door with a bowl in her hand, and her voice floated in: "Chen Yue, come on, I'm drinking rice wine, she's losing weight and promoting lactation! Then, I'll let you open the door..." When Mrs. Huang came out of Chen Yue's room, Wen Jiajia had already finished cleaning the toilet and flushing it. The wall of the toilet became white and smooth.

Wen Jiajia breathed out, straightened up to wash her hands, Mrs. Huang also walked in, put on her gloves, and took Wen Jiajia's next target - the bathtub. Mrs. Huang said while brushing: "Don't clean the toilet from now on. If you get tired again, I won't be able to pay for it!" Wen Jiajia smiled: "If you feel sorry for me, you can pay me more." Mrs. Huang also laughed, shaking her head while laughing. Today, the tireless housework has become Wen Jiajia's main source of income during her confinement period.Her insurance does not cover maternity checkups and delivery fees, and she also pays thousands of dollars in service fees to the confinement center every month.She couldn't afford it, and she couldn't afford to lose, and she had to think more about the unborn baby in her belly.Even, Wen Jiajia sometimes hates herself for not being able to have the foresight to buy all kinds of health and medical insurance in the United States before she becomes pregnant. No need to worry about medical bills anymore.

money!Wen Jiajia is very short of money now! Just overnight, Wen Jiajia returned to the state before she met Lao Zhong.And the only thing she can do for herself and her children is to switch the status of slave and slave owner with Mrs. Huang—working for Mrs. Huang to earn money for milk powder. A few minutes later, Wen Jiajia walked into the laundry room again, took out sheets, quilts, and clothes from the dryer, and walked into Chen Yue's room while folding them in his hands. It picked it up, knocked on the door and went in. Chen Yue in the room was crying with the child in her arms, and when she saw Wen Jiajia coming in, she quickly wiped her face, trying to cover it up: "Oh, let it go, thank you."

Wen Jiajia turned around and was about to go out. After thinking for a while, she stopped and asked softly, "Do you want to video chat with your daughter?" Chen Yue raised her head with a hesitant expression.Such an expression is equivalent to saying the answer directly. Wen Jiajia asked, "She doesn't know she has a younger sister, does she?" Chen Yue lowered her head when she heard this: "I thought it was a son, but I never dared to ask the doctor when I was doing the B-ultrasound." Chen Yue had always wanted to give birth to a son for her husband, so she took the risk to travel across the ocean to the United States to have her second child. Unexpectedly, the moment the baby landed, the doctor announced that it was a daughter.Chen Yue only felt that there was a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and she would rather pass out immediately, because she would have no face to see her husband.

Chen Yue is not the boss of a big company like Xiao Zhou, nor does she have a rich man behind her like Wen Jiajia.Chen Yue's husband is just a small businessman in the small commodity business. It is not easy for the couple to save some money, let alone raise a half-grown daughter. Chen Yue took the risk and went to the United States to have a second child, just to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy hope.There are many kinds of packages for going to the United States to give birth, the expensive ones are hundreds of thousands, and the cheap ones are hundreds of thousands. The former needs to find confinement centers and intermediary companies to assist in handling various matters, while the latter needs to be DIY. Chen Yue will naturally choose the latter .

Chen Yue, who is careful and careful, even calculated an account: visa plus baby's birth certificate cost more than 1,000 US dollars, various shopping expenses every month cost 3,000 to 4,000 US dollars, adult air tickets cost more than 3,000 US dollars, and baby air tickets cost 1,000 US dollars. Huang Tai Huang’s confinement rent is 3,000 USD, additional meals cost 5 to 600 USD, confinement fees are more than 4,000 USD, and various miscellaneous expenses such as airport pick-up, delivery, delivery, etc. Confinement escorts, etc., cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars.Since Chen Yue's husband cannot come to the United States to accompany her, this can save an adult's air ticket and accompanying fees.But then, there are the expenses of natural delivery in the hospital and various miscellaneous expenses, which cost thousands of dollars... With the addition of thousands and thousands, no matter how much Chen Yue saves, he will inevitably spend hundreds of thousands. But whether the hundreds of thousands was worth the money, Chen Yue himself couldn't tell. In fact, before the child was born, Chen Yue had a premonition that this child was likely to be a daughter.The manifestations of a woman carrying a son and a daughter are very different.When pregnant with a daughter, more estrogen is secreted, and the skin of pregnant women will become more delicate, while when pregnant with a son, the secretion of male hormones will be aggravated, and pregnant women are prone to spots and acne. The child Chen Yue conceived was the same as when she was pregnant with the first child, and her whole body looked radiant.Every time she looked at her glowing skin in the mirror, she felt more and more uncertain. The woman's intuition had already told Chen Yue the fact that the money was wasted, but she still wanted to take a gamble with a fluke mind, and even refused to listen to the doctor's sentence during the B-ultrasound.This kind of mood is like a death row prisoner wishing that the night before his execution could be longer. Wen Jiajia comforted: "Son and daughter are the same, your husband will definitely like it." Chen Yue hesitated to speak. Every family has scriptures that are hard to recite. She is stuck in a dead end, unable to extricate herself. Wen Jiajia said again: "You wait, I'll get you a computer..." Wen Jiajia came to the United States with a notebook, but it was never used, mainly because Lao Zhong, who was far away in China, did not play this trick.This is tantamount to directly depriving Wen Jiajia of the right to relieve her longing.From this point of view, Wen Jiajia is still a little envious of Chen Yue, although Wen Jiajia thought it was good to be rich the day before, at least she doesn’t need to be as meticulous as Chen Yue, staring at discounted products all day and doing quick calculations in her head What is more cost-effective to buy back. But now, they are the same. No, Wen Jiajia is not even as good as Chen Yue. Chen Yue was racking her brains to save money, saving money for her legal husband.As for her, Wen Jiajia, besides saving money, she also wants to make money, making money for herself and the baby. The laptop was quickly connected to the Internet, and a man appeared on the computer screen. He called out to Chen Yue affectionately: "Yue, Yue!" Behind him is a small commodity wholesale market stall, and the surrounding environment is very noisy. Wen Jiajia turned the computer in front of Chen Yue. Chen Yue's expression was still struggling. She held the child in her arms and sighed at her husband. Seeing this scene, Chen Yue's husband immediately shouted: "They are all born! Why didn't you sue me! I'm so anxious these days!" Chen Yue's due date has arrived, but she hasn't contacted her family for several days in a row. Chen Yue's husband is afraid that something happened to her husband, and he can't save the near fire. Chen Yue couldn't help but say: "I gave birth to a girl." She seemed about to cry again when she said this. Chen Yue's husband paused for a moment, and quickly said, "Hello, girl! Our eldest is a hundred doors away from the school, and our second is an American citizen. Maybe we can catch a foreign son-in-law back in the future! I might have a good time with him." The business is going to the United States!" Chen Yue's husband is really optimistic, and it's no surprise that he and Chen Yue are a family, and he can't do without calculations. Chen Yue chuckled: "You can't speak English either, what are you talking about with others!" Chen Yue's husband couldn't wait to say: "Oh, I can learn, let me see the second child!" The topic of "It's a pity it's my daughter" was successfully diverted, and Chen Yue hurriedly brought her daughter in front of the camera, who was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. Looking at the family of three, Wen Jiajia breathed a sigh of relief, closed the door gently and walked out. After a whole day's work, Wen Jiajia was exhausted physically and mentally, but this night she went to bed very late, mainly because she was so preoccupied that it was difficult to fall asleep peacefully. Since Xiao Zhou left the confinement center, Wen Jiajia did not move into the big house. At that time, she was afraid that moving around would be too troublesome, but now the economic conditions do not allow it. There was no news of Lao Zhong from the domestic side, and Mrs. Zhong would never look for Wen Jiajia again.Wen Jiajia couldn't help, so she could only feel anxious, and she was already struggling financially.The child is about to be born, but she has no money.After her credit card was frozen, she also seemed to be isolated from the world, bumping into walls everywhere. In the end, she was like when she couldn't get the scalper ticket, she had nothing.Except for her carry-on luggage, some limited-edition Hermès bags, and a dream catcher hanging in front of the window that swayed gently in the wind. Thinking of such a situation, Wen Jiajia's heart was hurt, and she suddenly doubted herself, and she didn't know what she was struggling with in the past few years. At that time, she was lavish, didn't care about money, and had no fear of life, because she felt that money was the most loyal servant, and life would surrender to money.But now, her servant ran away with long legs, and her life showed a face of being a villain, like a huge mountain weighing her down. In this way, life was even with her.
