When the stepmother took her second-year high school daughter to move into Wu Peiwen's house, it was the day before Wu Peiwen's college entrance examination.
When Wu Peiwen entered the house that day, she saw two small suitcases placed in the living room.
On the sofa, Zhou Hanzhen and her mother were sitting. The expressions on their faces were relaxed and happy, and they smiled happily.
Zhou Hanzhen looked around before finding his father Lao Wu in the kitchen.
Lao Wu was wearing an apron, cutting vegetables and stir-frying with sweat.
Seeing her coming back, Zhou Hanzhen moved and wanted to get up to say hello, but was stopped by her mother.
Zhou Hanzhen's mother glanced at Wu Peiwen, then pointed to the two small suitcases and said, "Please help us put it in. The one on the left is mine, and the one on the right is Hanhan."
Wu Peiwen stood there and didn't know how to react. She knew that her father and Zhou Hanzhen's mother were planning to be together, and she had been mentally prepared for a long time, but she thought they would be together after she went to college and left home. Even if she was anxious, she would wait until after the college entrance examination, instead of being so arrogant that she really wanted to tell her!
Zhou Hanzhen ignored them and walked directly to the kitchen, turned off the stove and range hood, and asked Lao Wu who was holding the spatula, "They want me to help them put their luggage, where to put it?"
Lao Wu faced Wu Peiwen's questioning, his expression froze, then pulled out a smile, and said, "We have only two rooms in our house. Your aunt lives with me, Han Han lives with you, and we will be a family in the future."
Wu Peiwen lowered her head and looked at the greasy spatula in Lao Wu's hand. Because of gravity, the oil on the spatula gathered at the bottom and slowly formed oil droplets. The drop of oil became more and more full, and then slowly got out of control. Finally, it hit the floor in an instant, and it made a slight "bang" and splashed everywhere.
In a trance, Wu Peiwen felt that she was just that drop of oil, and could not grasp what she wanted to grab, and was forced to let go.
When my mother was still there, Lao Wu never went into the kitchen and he was unwilling to do small things like washing dishes and cups.
Later, my mother was sick and left, and the father and daughter were left to live together. Old Wu said he could not cook, so Wu Peiwen had to take on the responsibility of cooking.
She has been busy this year of college entrance examination. Sometimes she has no time to cook. Lao Wu always orders takeaway, but he still refuses to go into the kitchen.
So Wu Peiwen has never eaten the rice cooked by Lao Wu.
But she saw it clearly just now. Lao Wu was very skilled in stir-frying, and several seasonings that he had not had before appeared in the kitchen, proving that Lao Wu not only knows how to cook, but also has recipes he is familiar with!
Wu Peiwen saw from these subtleties that Lao Wu's favor and his favor to Zhou Hanzhen and her mother.
She ignored the discomfort in her heart and asked, "Do you know I'm going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow?"
Lao Wu felt that Wu Peiwen's question was a bit inexplicable, but she still replied, "I know, what's wrong?" What's wrong with
? Wu Peiwen really wants to kick Lao Wu hard!
Knowing that she is going to take the college entrance examination, she still chooses to let Zhou Hanzhen and her mother affect her emotions. Does Lao Wu hope she will take the exam well or not?
She and Zhou Hanzhen are from the same school. Although Zhou Hanzhen is in the second year of high school this year, there will always be times when she looks up and sees her.
Most of the time, Wu Peiwen doesn't even say hello when she sees Zhou Hanzhen, because there are many places like her mother, merciless and stingy.
. Every time Zhou Hanzhen saw Wu Peiwen, she looked timid, and her eyes looked like Wu Peiwen would raise her hand to hit her in the next second, which made Wu Peiwen feel upset when she saw it.
However, Zhou Hanzhen's mother is much better than Zhou Hanzhen. She treats Wu Peiwen very well in front of Lao Wu and cares about her well-being. But once Lao Wu is not in front of her, she will immediately change her face, such as the disdainful look when she asked her to put her luggage away.
Wu Peiwen went back to her room and slammed the door and ordered takeaway for herself. She didn't want to eat this meal that Zhou Hanzhen and her mother had, for fear that it would be difficult to digest and affect her tomorrow's college entrance examination.
Actually, from the perspective of Zhou Hanzhen and her mother, she understands their approach very well.
I heard that Zhou Hanzhen's father used to be a small boss, but later he became addicted to gambling, so his family was ruined.
Two years ago, Zhou Hanzhen's father was arrested for a crime and sentenced to fifteen years, so Zhou Hanzhen's mother divorced Zhou Hanzhen's father.
Zhou Hanzhen's mother used to be in the same unit as Lao Wu. Later, after Zhou Hanzhen's mother married Zhou Hanzhen's father, Zhou Hanzhen's father earned more than enough to support the family, so Zhou Hanzhen's mother resigned.
Zhou Hanzhen's mother was pampered and lived a pampered life for more than ten years and suddenly returned to the pre-liberation. She lived a difficult life and was working everywhere to find work. As she searched for it, she met Lao Wu.
Wu Peiwen's mother left five years ago. Old Wu has always planned to remarry. When he met Zhou Hanzhen's mother, he saw that Zhou Hanzhen's mother looked younger and beautiful than Tongliang , so he became interested.
Zhou Hanzhen's mother lives alone with a daughter who is in high school, and she spends a lot of money in all aspects. Life is really difficult. I heard that Lao Wu has a car and a house, but he has a salary of 20,000 yuan a month without a wife. Of course, she wants to try her best to seize the opportunity, so that she and Zhou Hanzhen will not have to worry about their future lives.
Although it is understandable that people walk to a high place, Zhou Hanzhen's mother stepped on Wu Peiwen while walking, which made Wu Peiwen very uncomfortable. Later, Wu Peiwen no longer respects her in front of Old Wu, and it is common to directly express her face.
However, Zhou Hanzhen's mother is so good at acting. Whenever she has any friction with Wu Peiwen, she will look heartbroken in front of Lao Wu. She also hypocritically said that she must be not good enough, so Wu Peiwen doesn't like her. She will work hard in the future to prevent Lao Wu from being stuck in the middle and making things difficult for her.
This made Old Wu feel sorry for Zhou Hanzhen’s mother, and he also felt that Wu Peiwen was too ignorant, so he taught Wu Peiwen a lesson.
After a vicious cycle again and again, Wu Peiwen and Lao Wu's relationship became worse and worse.
It was not until Wu Peiwen was quarreling with Lao Wu because of Zhou Hanzhen and her mother, and accidentally saw Zhou Hanzhen's mother smiling proudly in a corner that they could not see, that she realized that she had fallen into Zhou Hanzhen's mother's plan.
After thinking about it carefully, Wu Peiwen came to the conclusion that if her relationship with Lao Wu continues to deteriorate and the father and daughter are at odds, the biggest beneficiaries will definitely be Zhou Hanzhen and her mother. At that time, Zhou Hanzhen's mother will use sweet words to put Lao Wu's money and house into their pockets. Wouldn't she have lost her wife and soldiers?
After thinking through these, Wu Peiwen adjusted her mentality and tried not to conflict with Lao Wu. When Zhou Hanzhen's mother was acting, she also acted.
I just didn’t expect that Zhou Hanzhen’s mother would choose to move into her home the day before the college entrance examination.
Wu Peiwen understood this behavior as a provocation.
Not long after, it was Lao Wu who had prepared the food. Zhou Hanzhen knocked on the door and asked her to go to dinner, but her voice was still timid, just because she didn't know if she was really afraid of her or pretending on purpose.
Wu Peiwen sat at the desk and didn't move. She said "Don't eat" to the door, and then took out the book to review.
After a while, Zhou Hanzhen's mother knocked on her door again, her voice polite and polite, sounding like she was afraid of offending Wu Peiwen and cautiously
Wu Peiwen still said she would not eat.
After a while, Old Wu also came. Wu Peiwen still said she would not eat and told them not to disturb her reading.
Old Wu was angry and said that today was the first day Zhou Hanzhen and her mother moved in. Wu Peiwen was deliberately showing them their face.
Wu Peiwen still doesn't want to pay attention.
Just when Lao Wu wanted to curse, the doorbell rang, and Wu Peiwen opened the door and went to get her takeaway.
Old Wu saw Wu Peiwen returning to the room with takeout, and his anger was suddenly ignited, and he pointed at Wu Peiwen and started scolding.
Wu Peiwen can't do it and wastes time on the argument. She defeated the enemy with one move: "I will take the college entrance examination tomorrow. If you quarrel with me again, I will call my uncle to pick me up immediately, and let them see the scene of your family of three having dinner happily while I hide in the room for takeout."
Then he pointed at Zhou Hanzhen and said, "If you want her to live in a room with me, then I will go to my uncle's house immediately and say that they are the mother and daughter occupying the nest, and I am driven out by you!"
Lao Wu's face suddenly turned red and he couldn't speak.
Wu Peiwen has five uncles, and each uncle has a better status than Lao Wu. He can't afford to offend any uncle Lao Wu. Usually Wu Peiwen would not say such things, because Lao Wu is her father after all. She feels that Lao Wu has a hard time being in front of her uncles. As Lao Wu's daughter, she should no longer make it difficult for Lao Wu to do.
This was what her mother used to scare Lao Wu when she quarreled with Lao Wu. Lao Wu was always defeated because of her mother's words.
Today, Wu Peiwen felt that it was too annoying, so she brought her uncles out to suppress Lao Wu.
You should know that when Lao Wu said he would be with Zhou Hanzhen's mother, Lao Wu also asked Wu Peiwen to explain to his uncles that he was with Zhou Hanzhen's mother after she agreed.
Although Wu Peiwen was not very willing to bless Lao Wu and Zhou Hanzhen's mother, she thought that she would get married one day. Lao Wu wanted to have someone to live with her. Several of her classmates also had reorganized their families. Sometimes they came to their classmates' stepfathers and stepmothers, which seemed not much different from ordinary families, so Wu Peiwen went to talk to her uncle.
Wu Peiwen finished her meal in her room, read the book for a while, then came out to take a shower, and prepared to rest early.
When they opened the door, they heard that their "family three" discussed tomorrow that Zhou Hanzhen would not have to attend classes because of the college entrance examination, and planned to go shopping for things.
Wu Peiwen glanced at the two small suitcases that were still in place. They felt that they were going to live a good life, so they threw away all the things they used to, so they brought such a little luggage, right?
Wu Peiwen couldn't help but sneer in her heart. They thought too beautifully.
A few years ago, both grandparents fell ill. As the only child, Lao Wu was of course the medical expenses were paid by him alone, so his previous savings had already been almost spent.
After the grandparents recovered from illness, Lao Wu had no way to take care of the two elderly people at the same time, so he sent them to the nursing home, but the cost was also high. The two elderly people spent at least 8,000 yuan a month. If there was any illness, it would be another expense. Therefore, Lao Wu has not dared to spend money in recent years, and Wu Peiwen did not dare to have too many requirements for Lao Wu.
So they want to live a good life unless they want to prevent grandparents from living a good life.
Wu Peiwen took a shower and saw Lao Wu and Zhou Hanzhen's mother busy on the balcony. She planned to separate the balcony and let Zhou Hanzhen live there temporarily.
Wu Peiwen didn't say anything. The most important thing she has done at the moment is the college entrance examination. They do whatever they like these days, as long as it doesn't affect her.
I just didn't expect that Wu Peiwen fell asleep in the middle of the night and was suddenly woken up by a scream.
Listen carefully, it was Zhou Hanzhen's voice.
Open the door and saw Zhou Hanzhen jumping up and down in the living room saying that there was a mouse.
Lao Wu and Zhou Hanzhen's mother also came out of the room and went up to ask Zhou Hanzhen about her well-being.
Wu Peiwen asked in a cold voice: "Where are the rats?"
Their family lives on the 25th floor, the balcony is sealed, and they usually pay attention to hygiene. She has lived in this home for so many years and has never seen a mouse. The mother and daughter have a mouse when they come. Wu Peiwen really suspects that the mouse was "bringed" to them.
Zhou Hanzhen pointed to the direction of the kitchen tremblingly and said that the mouse had gone to the kitchen.
Lao Wu went to the kitchen to rummage the boxes and cabinets, but he saw no trace of mice.
When Zhou Hanzhen saw this, she pointed to the open window and said, "It was probably because she jumped out of the window and ran away."
Wu Peiwen's doubt flashed in her heart. Before going to bed, she went to the kitchen to heat up milk. At that time, she deliberately closed the kitchen window. Who opened the window?
turned around and looked at Zhou Hanzhen, but Zhou Hanzhen was huddling pitifully in her mother's arms, unable to see her expression.
