She spent 20,000 yuan to buy a dress for her birthday. Her stingy husband’s reaction after learning about it made her the laughing stock of her friends. Why?

Wang Shiqi never expected that her thirtieth birthday would end in such an embarrassing situation.

"Why are you still sitting here? Take off that skirt quickly." As soon as the friends left, her husband Han Ming couldn't wait to order, "If you return this skirt tomorrow, you can return as much as you can." "

"I bought this dress with my own money, why should I return it at your request?" Wang Shiqi looked at the cake on the table. The candles on it were about to be extinguished. The swaying flame seemed to be making its final struggle.

"Do you think you are a princess or a queen when you wear a dress worth tens of thousands of yuan? You don't even look at whether you are worthy of it!" Han Ming said it carelessly, and did not seem to feel how hurt these words were. He stood up and poured himself a glass of water. He frowned and said with a worried look: "Wang Shiqi, what's wrong with you? How many years have you been married? Why have you become like this?"

The humiliation came over her. Wang Shiqi blushed and trembled all over. She looked at her husband in disbelief, feeling like she was looking at a stranger.

The skirt she was wearing was the latest product of a luxury brand, and she hesitated before deciding to buy it as a gift for her thirtieth birthday.

Although she knew it was willful to do so, she had always been frugal and had never made any irrational purchases. She is already thirty years old, and the passing years have aggravated her uneasiness. This dress is just to give her a little comfort for her lost youth.

However, it was not until today that she clearly understood her status in her husband's heart through this dress. She was far from worthy of such an expensive dress. In his eyes, she was just a person who did not need to dress up and could not pursue romance. Just a married woman.

When she put on a beautiful dress and was about to receive blessings from her friends, her husband became furious when he learned that the dress was expensive and did not save her any face at all, making the scene extremely embarrassing. The friends had no choice but to leave first. After all, it was difficult for an upright official to deal with household matters. Only they could solve this matter themselves.

"In your heart, I am only worthy of wearing street clothes, right?" Wang Shiqi was silent for a long time before she spoke tremblingly.

"The key is, do our economic conditions allow you to be so extravagant? Half a year's salary for a dress is gone. Do you think this is what a married woman should do?"

Han Ming argued with good reason, "We still owe the house loan and the car loan! Not only that, after taking into account the food, drink, and alimony of both parents, the most important thing is that we You are already thirty, and it’s time to have a child. After that, children will be a huge expense. After all, do you dare to say that you did nothing wrong?”

“It’s just this time. Don’t you want to leave a souvenir for your thirtieth birthday?”

“How about taking a photo as a souvenir?” Han Ming became more and more irritated and his voice became louder, and he stood up and said, "You want to keep a souvenir when you are thirty and spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a dress. Then do you also want to keep a souvenir and buy something when you are forty? You are just making excuses. I really didn't expect you to become so vain. ."

"Am I vain?" Wang Shiqi pointed at herself with difficulty, tears filling her eyes. She held back her grievance and said, "Han Ming, if I really loved vanity, I would still marry. "Give it to you?"

Wang Shiqi felt aggrieved, thinking that when the two got married, they didn't even have a decent wedding. After receiving the certificate, they set up a few banquets in the countryside to be considered married.

At that time, all she could think about was Han Ming. Both of them were from poor family backgrounds, so they had to carefully plan even a life-long event like marriage.

If you can save it, save it. Even the wedding was just Han Ming riding a bicycle to take her home without even a wedding dress.

Because the wedding was too shabby, Han Ming cried bitterly that night. On the one hand, he resented that he could not give her a dream wedding. On the other hand, he solemnly promised that it would not take long for him to achieve something. The achievement not only gave her a life without worries about food and clothing, but also provided her with a grand wedding.

Since Wang Shiqi is willing to marry him simply, she naturally doesn't care about so much. She was full of yearning for a future with Han Ming, and she never cared about material life at all.

The two established a relationship when they were in college. At that time, Han Ming was willing to eat steamed buns and pickles to save money to buy her gifts.

After all, she is a girl who loves fantasy when she is young. Who doesn’t like expensive gifts from her partner? But Wang Shiqi returned the things every time and exchanged them for trinkets worth more than ten yuan on the roadside. She said seriously: "For a girl like me, this kind of thing suits my style best."

< p>At first, Han Ming would retort to her, saying that she could have a better one based on her conditions. But she didn't care, she just emphasized over and over again that the most ordinary is the best.

Later, Han Ming stopped giving her expensive gifts, and gradually, there were no more gifts.

Wang Shiqi didn’t take it to heart at that time, because according to the conditions at the time, it would be good if they could have a good meal, and they really didn’t have much money to be romantic.

From here on, Han Ming never gave her any gifts, and he no longer cared about the so-called sense of ceremony. Sometimes when Wang Shiqi expressed emotion, he would even call her hypocritical. .

Perhaps she really did something wrong. She originally didn't want to increase the financial burden on her lover, but she didn't want him to take it seriously and become so fussy about it, which made her miserable.

Perhaps only women can understand the meaning of thirty, so her friends all agreed with her being willful and giving herself a luxurious gift. Only men resentfully accused her of being irresponsible. behavior.

But even if there was no such thing as this skirt today, Wang Shiqi was still sad, because Han Ming didn't remember her birthday at all. When he saw the cake, he said to her impatiently: "I can't bear it anymore." Are you going to eat dessert? Don’t yell if you fail to lose weight!”

Wang Shiqi resisted her emotions and wanted to make her thirtieth birthday happy, but the reality was not as good as hers. wish.

Wang Shiqi’s head almost exploded after thinking so much. She quickly wanted to ask herself why she married Han Ming in the first place? And did Han Ming really love her?

"What on earth are you crying about?" Han Ming suddenly said, his patience obviously exhausted. He grabbed his hair and frowned, "Cry, cry, cry! What is there to cry about!" He stood up. When I returned to the bedroom, there was no movement at all.

Wang Shiqi sat on the sofa, feeling that the carefully painted makeup on her face had worn off. She went to the bathroom to remove her makeup and wash her face, and then went out wearing her expensive dress.

Wang Shiqi was glad that she still had a home to go back to. Her parents were so happy that they couldn’t open their mouths from ear to ear when they saw her. Her mother even hurriedly cooked a table full of dishes. She pulled her over and asked, “It’s not that I can’t do it.” Are you here?" After finishing speaking, she asked as if she had just come to her senses, "Why didn't Han Ming come?"

Wang Shiqi didn't want to tell her parents about this, so she lied casually: "He was temporarily detained. The boss asked me to work overtime, so I came here by myself."

"That's it." Her parents didn't have any doubts. They picked up the food for her and greeted her with a smile on their face. Like she was just a child.

Thinking of this, Wang Shiqi’s sadness that had just dissipated came back to her mind again. Looking back on the past, she discovered that Han Ming had also loved her.

It’s not a dramatic plot, it’s just picking out the green onions and cilantro in the bowl for her, and then ordering more of her favorite meals, and also being greedy for her occasionally. Zhong traveled dozens of miles, queued for hours, and then delivered delicious food to her like a treasure.

Those ordinary details were the key to her willingness to spend a long time with him.

Even to this day, Han Ming will share the housework for her in his free time, so that she does not have to work so hard. It is also because of this that friends all praise Han Ming and think that he is worthy of He is a good husband, and listening to everyone's praise, she also agreed in her heart.

"Mom, this skirt of mine costs 23,000." Suddenly, Wang Shiqi said.

The mother was startled and subconsciously moved away from her. Then she frowned and said, "What kind of skirt can cost more than 20,000 yuan!"

"Luxury brands, two Wanduo is cheap."

"Why do you start spending money like this? How long can you wear this skirt?"

Wang Shiqi listened to her mother's teachings. She lowered her head, maybe she really did something wrong and shouldn't be so willful.

“More than 20,000 is just over 20,000.

"My father said nonchalantly, "Since I met Han Ming, look at how wronged our daughters have become. Why can other people wear expensive dresses, but my daughter can only wear rags worth tens of dollars? What did Han Ming promise in the first place? Why do I feel that my daughter has never had a good life since she married Han Ming? "

The words brought Wang Shiqi's tears back. She wiped her tears secretly. When her mother saw this, she said worriedly: "Why are you crying? Did I speak too harshly? "

The father said bluntly: "Han Ming must have done something to feel sorry for her. I just said that Qiqi's expression was wrong when she walked in." "

Wang Shiqi still told the whole story under the pressure of her parents. She just didn't understand, "Even if it was really my fault, did he need to make it difficult for me to step down in front of so many people? "

"He definitely didn't mean it. Her mother advised her, "It's really hard to live after marriage. You have been married for so many years. Don't you still know what kind of person he is?" Don't take this matter too seriously, otherwise you will be the only one who feels uncomfortable. ”

Wang Shiqi doesn’t agree with her mother’s words, because after so many years of marriage, she seems to have never seen Han Ming clearly. Sometimes she feels that he loves her very much, but sometimes she feels that he doesn’t care about her at all.< /p>

Amidst this uncertainty, she still stubbornly believed that if Han Ming really loved her, she should be able to feel it clearly, just like when the two were in love.

But. Why can't I feel it now?

Wang Shiqi originally wanted to stay at her parents' home for a few days, but unfortunately her mother-in-law was suddenly admitted to the hospital, so she had no choice but to put aside her grievances and go to visit and take care of her.

p>

Han Ming had no special reaction after seeing her. He skillfully instructed her to work and serve her mother-in-law as usual.

Wang Shiqi felt uncomfortable, but she still followed his instructions. It was done. After all, this was in a hospital, and it was his mother who was sick in the hospital, so it was normal for him to be a little emotional.

Wang Shiqi had been doing some mental construction for herself, fearing that Han Ming's attitude would be bad for a while. And getting angry made the old man worried.

"I heard Han Ming said you spent more than 20,000 yuan to buy a skirt? The first thing my mother-in-law said after waking up was, "Have you returned the skirt?" "

Wang Shiqi looked like she had been slapped hard, her face flushed and she lowered her head and said, "I haven't had time to retreat yet. ”

“Hurry up and retreat. You won’t be able to retreat after a long time, right? "The mother-in-law was anxious, holding her hand tightly and said, "You kid, you usually look like a very smart person, why did you suddenly lose your mind and do such a thing? More than 20,000 yuan to buy a skirt? Will wearing this dress turn me into an immortal? "

Wang Shiqi was speechless by her mother-in-law. Han Ming was busy working on the side. Hearing the words, he interrupted: "Mom, don't worry about it. I have already told her about her before. ”

“Alas. "My mother-in-law didn't want to let it go at all. She said with tears in her eyes, "Forget it this time. Don't do such things in the future. Otherwise, how can this family continue to live on!" ”

Wang Shiqi never thought that a skirt would cause so much trouble, especially when Han Ming told her that her mother-in-law fainted because she spent 20,000 yuan to buy a skirt. It seemed that all Everything was her fault.

Wang Shiqi felt so guilty that she still dared to keep the skirt. Fortunately, she was not willing to remove the label, so she could still return it when she saw the clerk. She still blushed unconsciously when she looked at her with disdain.

Han Ming came with her and saw that her face was unhappy, "We still have to be self-aware as human beings. With our conditions, what's the use of wearing a skirt worth more than 20,000 yuan? As long as you don't come from a million-dollar luxury car, others will think yours is a replica or a knockoff. So, it's really not necessary. "

Wang Shiqi's heart ached even more. She felt as if someone was holding her throat tightly, and she couldn't breathe smoothly.

Han Ming continued to say: "I have been I think you look pretty, even without makeup or dressing up.

Those things are all external. After all, don’t you want to be beautiful just to show me? "

On hearing this, Wang Shiqi raised her head and looked at him and asked: "Don't married women have the right to make themselves beautiful? "

Han Ming sighed, "What's the use of being beautiful? If you couldn't eat today, would you still care about beauty? ”

Wang Shiqi shook her head and said: “But we are not at the point where we don’t have enough food and clothing to keep warm!” "

Han Ming's patience was obviously exhausted again, "You are trying to argue with me. As an adult, of course you have to have some sense of worry, right? You're not a child anymore, you still want me to teach you this? ”

After Han Ming finished speaking, he ignored her and strode away.

Wang Shiqi was so angry that she stood there and wanted to wait for Han Ming to come back and coax her, but Han Ming drove his car and started to coax her. He left without even looking at her again, as if to say: "Stay here and reflect on it!" ”

The couple had no overnight feud.

No matter how angry Wang Shiqi was, she finally returned home. Fortunately, Han Ming didn’t seem to want to He continued to argue with her and had already cooked the meal, as if he was waiting for her to come back.

However, when Wang Shiqi washed her hands with mixed emotions and prepared to serve the meal, Han Ming was cold. Di said: "I'll wait until my mother comes back to eat. "

"Will our mother be discharged from the hospital today? "

"Well, she didn't like staying in the hospital, so she was discharged early. Dad went to pick her up and should be back soon. "Han Ming looked at the phone and said without raising his head.

He was not waiting for her to come back for dinner!

Wang Shiqi's hand holding the chopsticks instantly became cold. , she didn’t know how she put down her chopsticks, then got up and left, and finally got into bed.

Her head was groggy, and she didn’t know when she fell asleep, waiting for her mother-in-law to come. When he called her, she realized that she didn’t know what she was dreaming about, so that there were tears in her eyes.

“Have you taken off your skirt? "My mother-in-law is concerned about this matter again.

Wang Shiqi hurriedly said: "Back off. ”

“That’s okay. "My mother-in-law's nervous face instantly turned to joy. She came over to greet her and said, "Don't sleep, come and eat."

Wang Shiqi was exhausted, hid her face in the quilt, and whispered: "I want to sleep a little longer, you can eat first." "

At this time Han Ming came over to pull her mother-in-law, glanced at Wang Shiqi casually and said: "Don't worry about her, she will eat when she is hungry. ”

When her mother-in-law heard this, she didn’t insist anymore. She told her to eat quickly and then went to the restaurant with Han Ming to eat.

The moment the door was closed again, Wang Shiqi was stunned. She got on the quilt and closed her eyes to sleep, but her tears couldn't stop flowing. She suppressed herself from crying, and gradually she became tired of crying and fell asleep again.

It seemed that someone was holding her in her sleep. Holding her in his arms and gently stroking her head, Wang Shiqi leaned into her arms as a habit, but suddenly woke up. She opened her eyes and saw Han Ming looking at her seriously.

"Are you still angry? Han Ming whispered softly, "Don't be angry, everything is over." "

Wang Shiqi blushed a little at his gentle expression and asked, "Where are our parents and our parents?" "

"Go back after eating. Han Ming asked her, "Are you hungry?"

Before Wang Shiqi spoke, her stomach was already growling. She suddenly felt ashamed, put her head into Han Ming's arms and said, "I'm hungry."

Han Ming smiled and rubbed her head, then stood up and pulled her up and said, "I knew you were hungry, so come down and eat." "

Wang Shiqi followed his lead and sat down in the restaurant. Han Ming brought a bowl of hot noodles. Before she was about to eat, he conjured a necklace for her like a magic trick, "Belated birthday. Gift. "He said flatteringly, "If you accept this article, you will have passed it. ”

This silver necklace is set with a very tacky large rhinestone. The style is very old-fashioned, but because it is in Han Ming’s hands, it has become much more advanced.

The love filter is really terrible, Wang Shiqi said silently in her heart. She wouldn’t even ask for this kind of necklace for free, but because of Han Ming, it seems to be more expensive than those luxury brands.

“Thank you, husband. . "Wang Shiqi happily asked Han Ming to put it on for her, and decided not to be angry anymore.

Because she suddenly thought of the dream she had before, which was about her divorce from Han Ming.

In the dream, Han Ming clamored to divorce her, but she begged for mercy in every possible way to no avail. After the two divorced, she could no longer find a home because of her previous marriage. I spent a lifetime alone.

She never wanted to separate from Han Ming. Now it seems that if the relationship between the two breaks down, she will definitely be the saddest person.

Han Ming just thinks too much about their future, it’s not that he doesn’t love her.

After all, life has to go on, and she cannot be a vulgar, petty person.

After some mental construction, Wang Shiqi finally succeeded in consoling herself.

6

Life can go on, this is what Wang Shiqi naively thought before the last straw appeared.

On this day, Han Ming's company organized a party. Basically, people who got married would bring their significant other. Naturally, Han Ming also brought Wang Shiqi.

In order not to lose face to Han Ming, Wang Shiqi dressed up carefully and put on the necklace carefully.

Although this necklace was not expensive, it was the first gift Han Ming gave her after their marriage, symbolizing the love between them. Wang Shiqi followed Han Ming to the hotel with great expectations.

It was not a very luxurious hotel, but it was not a hotel that Wang Shiqi usually dared to enter easily to spend money. After she and Han Ming sat down, they quietly waited for the arrival of others.

During this period, someone came over to greet the couple. A woman held her husband's arm and said to Han Ming very happily: "Thank you for the birthday gift! It really cost you money and made us both miserable." Sorry."

The woman said and took her husband's hand. Both of them were wearing an exquisite bracelet. It was obviously a couple's bracelet. Wang Shiqi could tell at a glance that it was expensive.

"What are you talking about? Don't be so polite. Isn't it appropriate for good friends to give gifts to each other?" Han Ming said generously, not noticing the look in Wang Shiqi's eyes next to him.
