Chapter 249 Mrs. Li's Photo
Mrs. Li: Sigh, I understand what you're saying, but what can I, a jobless full-time housewife, do?
Firstly, I'm already thirty years old, so old that people would look down on me if I worked as a receptionist; secondly, my husband has never contributed any money to the household, and the only asset he has left is this house, so I can't even afford a housekeeper.
If I go to work, Xiaolong will be home alone with no one to take care of him.
I want to go out and relax, but I don't have any money. I really don't know what to do...
Having seen this, Li Jian finally understood.
Mrs. Li is a walking embodiment of all sorts of problems: her husband cheated on her, she's unemployed, widowed in middle age, her son is still a child, and she's short of money...
Ordinary families are not as miserable as hers.
Li Jian wanted Xu Yangshen to take a look at the feng shui of her house to see if there was really a problem.
Even so, this woman still chose to commit suicide with her husband when he accidentally fell to his death, which deserves our admiration.
However, Li Jian believes that the woman chose to jump off the building mostly because she was worried that her mother-in-law's death would be attributed to her.
Coupled with the various hardships in her life, she contemplated suicide.
Many people who commit suicide do so because they can't think straight in that one moment.
Once that period of time has passed, the thought of suicide will no longer arise.
There's a saying in Li Jian's hometown that most people who commit suicide are haunted by vengeful ghosts, causing their brains to malfunction and become uncontrollable, leading them to choose their own children as substitutes for the vengeful ghosts.
Li Jian doesn't have the ability to see ghosts, so he can't be sure if his wife has been possessed by a ghost.
Li Jian: Mrs. Li, I completely understand what you're saying. As a woman, you have to bear the heavy pressure of life and suffer mental torment. It's really not easy for you. This world is too unfair to you.
If possible, have you ever thought about finding a shoulder to lean on?
Mrs. Li: What do you mean?
Li Jian: Your husband cheated on you, and even though he's dead, don't you feel resentful? If he could cheat, why can't you take revenge on him? Even though he's dead, you can still make him a cuckold.
Li Jian regretted it as soon as he sent the message.
Why do my hands have to be so mischievous, always wanting to do things that drag innocent people down with them?
Mrs. Li also fell silent.
Seeing that his phone hadn't been used for a long time, Li Jian became worried, wondering if he had offended Mrs. Li.
What if the other person can't think straight and commits suicide? Wouldn't there be one more vengeful ghost on the night of their return?
Mrs. Li: Actually, I have thought about it, but I have never done it. From childhood to adulthood, I have always been the good child in my parents' eyes, and I have never dared to cross the line.
Besides, what man would want a married woman like me who is poor, not good-looking, and has a child?
Besides, this building is crowded and noisy. If someone sees me, I'll be in big trouble.
Even if my husband were dead now, I wouldn't dare. I'm afraid people would say I'm having an affair right after my husband's death, and I'd be gossiped about behind my back.
Li Jian: You're such a kind woman, always thinking of others first in everything you do. But the more you do that, the harder your life will be.
Life is short, only a few decades; we never know whether tomorrow or an accident will come first.
If you had chosen to jump, and you wouldn't have heard anyone cursing you anymore, wouldn't you regret not enjoying life more?
Mrs. Li: ... My mind is in turmoil. Let me think about it carefully.
Li Jian: I know what you're worried about, but some things you should do as soon as you think of them, and then consider the consequences. We can't be giants in thought but dwarfs in action.
And regarding your concerns about future employment, I know many people who can easily provide you with a job.
Mrs. Li: How could I possibly accept that? You saved my life; you are my savior. I should repay you, not accept your kindness again.
It is said that great kindness can turn into great enmity.
Some debts of gratitude can never be repaid, and they will become a burden.
Li Jian: What's the point of repaying me? As long as you're happy and joyful, I'll be happy too. After all, we're friends, aren't we?
Mrs. Li felt a warm light shine into her heart, making her feel warm all over.
Friend... That's such a distant word; it feels like I haven't heard it in ages.
After getting married, Mrs. Li's mind and body were occupied by her family, and her former classmates and friends became a thing of the past.
Even with their own parents, they rarely see each other.
She felt useless and had no face to go back to her parents' home.
Her world consisted only of an incompetent husband, a domineering mother-in-law, and a son who hadn't grown up yet.
Mrs. Li: Can we really be friends? You won't mind my age? You won't mind that I'm not good-looking and my clothes are unfashionable? Besides, my husband just died, and people say that widows bring bad luck.
Li Jian: Of course we're friends, look how happy we are chatting. I just can't stand seeing others suffer. Also, you're the most beautiful, you need to be confident, okay?
Mrs. Li: Thank you, Jian. I feel much happier after talking to you.
Li Jian clenched his fist.
When a woman says we can be friends, it means there's potential for a deeper relationship.
Li Jian was just trying his luck, but he didn't expect to actually succeed.
Although we're not quite there yet to go to bed right now, we've already reached the middle of a long journey. If we keep working hard, we might be able to get to base soon.
This flirtatious feeling is sometimes even more exciting than getting to base.
It brought back fond memories for Li Jian of the days when he used to cast a wide net with balls.
The girls I hooked up with back then weren't very good quality, but I had a lot of fun.
There's a saying that goes, "I wanted to buy osmanthus flowers and share wine, but it's nothing like the carefree days of my youth."
Li Jian: You think I'm just teasing you? I genuinely think you're very beautiful and charming, like the famous actress Tan Shumei.
Mrs. Li: Who is Tan Shumei? Never heard of her. But do you really think I'm pretty? Nobody's ever complimented me on my looks before.
Li Jian: Of course it's true. Why don't you send me a photo and I'll set it as my phone wallpaper right away?
Mrs. Li: I don't want to. It would be so embarrassing if others saw us.
Li Jian: Okay, okay, consider it interest for saving you. You wouldn't even grant your savior this small request, would you?
Mrs. Li: Hmph, you just said you didn't want anything in return, but you've already shown your true colors. Fine, but you can only see the photos yourself, and you can't show them to a second person, or I'll die!
Soon, Mrs. Li's photo was sent over.
Li Jian opened the MMS message and was immediately struck by its beauty.
Of all the characters in the movie "Out of the Dark," Mrs. Li is the most beautiful.
