Chapter 180 Reasons for Resignation
The afternoon passed in a hurry, and when Zhao Xiaojing had some free time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and the canteen on the construction site had closed. Fearing that the two women were taking a lunch break, Zhao Xiaojing waited another hour before calling Geng Mingyan.
"Xiao Zhao, I was just thinking about when to call you, but you called first, haha." Geng Mingyan answered the phone quickly, and another voice sounded at the same time. "Xiao Zhao?"
"Xiao Zhao! How is the store going? Business must be booming!" Hou Guihua shouted into the phone in a loud voice.
"Sister Hou is here too. Things are going well and business is pretty good." Unexpectedly, there were two people on the phone. Zhao Xiaojing greeted Hou Guihua with a smile while thinking about how to start the conversation.
"Xiao Zhao, your sister Hou and I have resigned. You knew all about it when you talked to Master Sun on the phone today, right?" Without giving Zhao Xiaojing too much time to think, Geng Mingyan took the initiative to break the window paper.
"Yes, Master Sun said that you all resigned, and I don't know what happened, so I called you to ask.
You have been working here for so many years, why did you suddenly quit? "
"Because your elder sister Geng is getting a divorce!" Before Geng Mingyan could speak, Hou Guihua's voice came first with a hint of joy.
Zhao Xiaojing was stunned, quite surprised. "What's going on?"
"What happened? The bastard didn't control his lower body. The water that entered your sister Geng's brain has dried up, and she has woken up on her own!" Hou Guihua spoke quickly. Although she was not involved in the incident, she was more indignant than Geng Mingyan, who was involved.
"Sister Geng, you must be feeling bad, right?" Zhao Xiaojing asked after a moment of silence.
"Of course it's not pleasant. If it wasn't pleasant, how could your elder sister Geng make such a decision! She was so mad that she wanted to die with the bastard the day she found out!" Hou Guihua said with an angry tone. "Okay, let elder sister Geng talk to you. Why am I interrupting here? I'm going to go wash clothes!"
"Sister Hou is chivalrous and warm-hearted as always." Zhao Xiaojing said with a smile while holding her cell phone.
"Xiao Zhao." There were footsteps and the sound of a door closing on the other end of the line, and Geng Mingyan slowly spoke. "Actually, after I talked to you last time, I started to waver in my heart.
During that time, I didn't know what I had been insisting on for so many years. You said that the child had grown up and I could live for myself. All of a sudden, I seemed to have come to my senses and felt that there seemed to be more than one path ahead of me, and it seemed that many paths were better than this one.
But I have lived like this for half of my life. If I were asked to change my path, I would not know how to start. I hesitated again, thinking, what is the point of living like this for the rest of my life? Most people don’t live like this.
I didn't expect that I would be annoyed by someone else even though I wanted to live this kind of life. This time he helped me and gave me a push to wake me up." Geng Mingyan said sarcastically.
Zhao Xiaojing sighed in her heart. This thought was very real. Most people did think this way. She was the same in her previous life.
"But weren't you both at the construction site, together every day? Didn't he ask you to go to the construction site because he said that living apart for too long wouldn't work and that problems would arise? Why is he..."
Zhao Xiaojing hesitated to speak. She wanted to say that the construction site was so hard, working during the day and being together every night, where did he have the time and energy to cheat? When she thought about it, as long as people have this intention, they will create the conditions even if there are no conditions. This problem is nothing.
"The construction site was closed for three days during the National Day holiday. As my child was busy with her studies and stayed at school instead of going home during the National Day holiday, I went to her school to see her.
After I came back, I always felt that something was wrong with Zhou Mingliang. He would always go to the bathroom for no reason and always carry his cell phone with him. When I wanted to use his cell phone, he would be secretive and fiddle with it for a while before giving it to me. I became suspicious at the time.
Until last Sunday when the construction site was closed, I still had to work in the kitchen. Zhou Mingliang told me early in the morning that his mother wanted him to go back for dinner, and that he wanted to go back to see them while the construction site was in Hecheng.
I knew he was lying as soon as I heard him. During the National Day holiday, I asked him to go with me to see the children and to invite his parents to the city to have a meal near the children's school, but he refused to do so.
He even went to his comrade's house and stayed there for three days, drinking for three days before coming back.
It was his turn to have only one day off, and he thought of his parents. It would take two hours to drive from Hecheng to the countryside, and then another two hours to drive back. Was it possible?
Xiao Zhao, tell me, why do men always tell clumsy lies, not even bothering to make up reasons, but expect women to believe them? Does he really not care or does he think I'm stupid? "
Geng Mingyan laughed sarcastically and asked back. Zhao Xiaojing paused and organized her words. "Maybe, at that time, his mind was all on cheating, and he didn't think about these issues at all. He just made up a random excuse to fool you, and didn't even consider whether the lie would stand up."
"Haha, maybe. He really didn't care about anything else. He said he was going back to his parents' house. When I called home at dinner time to look for him, his parents were confused and asked me if he didn't work with me. When he came back, I asked him and he said he did go back and had lunch, but his parents were old and forgot! Isn't it funny? He actually lied to me with such stupid words!"
Geng Mingyan's voice became much hoarse as she spoke due to the emotions she was trying so hard to suppress. Zhao Xiaojing pursed her lips and could feel Geng Mingyan's sadness from the conversation on the phone.
Geng Mingyan took a few deep breaths, paused, and continued. "He was still stubborn, insisting that his parents were old. I picked up his phone and was about to look through it, but he snatched it away again, and in the scuffle, he pushed me to the ground, almost hitting the scissors protruding from the table.
He came to help me when he saw me, but I snatched the phone again and pointed the scissors at him. This time he didn't dare to touch me. I turned his phone upside down, and his dirty deeds were completely exposed. He couldn't hide it anymore, so he knelt on the ground and begged me again.
I was so angry that my head was about to explode. I took the scissors and was ready to die with him. He hurriedly opened the door and ran away, and I chased him, cursing at him. Later, everyone from the construction site came out, but they didn't dare to come up to stop us. It was your sister Hou who hugged me.
I was exhausted from running, and once she hugged me, I lost all my strength. I was so angry that I was so limp that I couldn't stand up. When your elder sister Hou saw me like this, she went up to Zhou Mingliang and slapped him without saying a word. She didn't even know why. "
Geng Mingyan's voice became increasingly hoarse, and she laughed at herself from time to time while narrating the story. The entire thrilling scene was only recounted in just a few words after the passage of time.
