Chapter 5 Going to Hometown

1076 Words
After going crazy, I didn't lose sleep. I slept until dawn. The next morning, my wife snuggled up in my arms for the first time. She blinked and said softly to me, "Honey, you were so good yesterday..." Her flushed face showed that she was indeed satisfied. If I didn't answered my son's phone call yesterday afternoon, I must feel that I was the happiest man in the world. However, there was no hypothesis. "Honey, I think it's OK if you want to start the company again. After all, our family can’t always be like this..." Seeing that I didn’t speak, my wife said to me while stroking my chest. "Well, let's wait until we get the money." I just casually said to her. I didn't expect that my care for her could not conquer her, but conquered her in another way. Did I become just a tool to meet her needs? Terrible, too terrible... I couldn’t help shivering at the thought of this. "OK, I'll go to the bathroom!" After she finished talking to me, she took the toilet paper and went to the bathroom. As soon as she left, I immediately sat up and quickly installed the pinhole camera I bought yesterday on the stereo. Although the camera could not be connected to the Internet, it had a large memory and could record videos for nearly a week. And it's very hidden. Even if people look closely, it couldn’t be seen at all. The next few days when I was not at home, I needed it to help me supervise! I didn’t want to do this, but I couldn’t be stupid anymore. If she really betrayed me, this camera would become the most solid evidence! After breakfast, I wanted to hang out with my mom for a day, buy some clothes for her and go back tomorrow. But my mother insisted on going back today, saying that no one helped her feed the chickens, ducks, cats and dogs at home, and the vegetables also needed watering. So I had no choice but to leave today and drive her to the countryside in my truck. "Mom, call me directly when you come next time so that I can pick you up." On the way, I said to my mother seriously. "It's not worth it. If you come to take me and go back to your home, the fuel cost will be at least 500 , and it will delay your work. Your daily salary is 500 or 600. It's a waste of more than 1000. I'll take a ride by myself and get it done with 100." My mother waved her hand with a smile. Years of experience in selling vegetables made her have good numeracy skills. After that, I didn't speak any more and didn't know what to say. My mom worked hard all her life. She always calculated carefully for me when I was prosperous or when I was poor. The day after my company went bankrupt, I didn't even have time to talk to my mom, but she gave me her bank card with one million in it. No, exactly 1.12 million. She gave me all her savings. And what about my father-in-law and mother-in-law? They had two million, but they wanted to help their younger daughter buy a house as a dowry... This was the difference... "Joshua, what's on your mind?" My mom asked me when she saw my dignified expression. "Nothing, mom." I forced a smile and shook my head. "How can I be fooled by you? You must quarrel with Jane. It's all right. As long as you have money, everything will be better." My mom narrowed her eyes slightly and comforted me. "Yes." I smiled. It looked like a smile, but it was actually a bitter smile. It was true that everything would get better with money, but the scars left when there was no money could never be healed. All along, I thought as long as I obey her in every way, she wouldn’t like other men. As a result, I was slapped hard by reality... Then, my mother and I said nothing all the way. Staggering, after nearly seven hours, we finally returned to our hometown in the countryside. "Oh! This is the boss Joshua! You are back!" As soon as I parked my truck, my neighbor uncle came and satirized me. Yes, this neighbor is my uncle. He was addicted to gambling and did nothing. Uncle called me boss at this time. Wasn’t he satirizing me? When I was rich, my uncle ran to me to borrow money frequently. At first, I gave several thousand to him, but later I learned that he used all his money to gamble, so I had a quarrel with him. From then on, I stopped lending him money. So, he always had a grudge against me. My mom told me before that when my uncle knew that my company was bankrupt, he set off firecrackers and beat drums at my door to celebrate. She was very angry. In face of the uncle's sarcasm, I just glanced at him without paying too much attention. Then I helped my mother to the house. "By the way, Darcy, when you weren't at home last night, your dog ran to my house and robbed food with my dog. I hit it to death with a stick. My wife and I worked hard for a long time this morning to chop it up. Would you like to come and eat it? We braised it." Before my mom and I entered the house, my uncle said. I could clearly feel that when my mom heard my uncle's words, her whole body was trembling. But my mother didn't look back. After taking a little deep breath, she continued to walk back to the house. I knew that my mom didn’t want to fall out with my uncle. After all, they were neighbors and relatives. But I couldn’t stand it. Because I bought the dog for my mom to accompany her! And it was an Alaskan dog that cost several thousand. Mom usually treated it as if it was her son. It ate whatever mom ate. She even took a shower for it every day. As a result, it was eaten by my uncle! "You fucking..." In a rage, I directly picked up the stick on the side of the road and rushed into my uncle's house!
