The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 146 Shen Lei, Your Wife is Pregnant
The divorced pair of Shen Lei and Xie Meilan can be said to be the most controversial couple in the original drama.

One is a civil servant in Beijing with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, and the other is a female investment banker working in the CBD with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan.

If we only compare the actual income, Xie Meilan is indeed much higher than Shen Lei.

But taking all factors into consideration, including various hidden welfare conditions, Shen Lei's conditions are actually no worse than his wife Xie Meilan's.

Especially since Shen Lei has a Beijing hukou, the convenient resources he can get are more than ten Xie Meilans can match.

In this family, only Shen Lei has a Beijing hukou, including the so-called vice president of the company, Na Wei, and Na Jun, who has an annual salary of one million, do not have a Beijing hukou.

However, this couple, who started their campus romance and ended up getting married, eventually parted ways because of money issues.

Xie Meilan despised Shen Lei for his low salary, lack of a car or a house, and lack of ambition, and for his aloof behavior and refusal to use backdoors, as if the other party had achieved nothing in all these years.

Although Shen Lei is kind, family-oriented and has a good temper, these are of no use to her.

Perhaps it is just as the saying goes - the cheapest thing is the gentleness of a man who has accomplished nothing.

I don’t know what the screenwriter was thinking. The phenomenon of this couple is not only an insult to civil servants, but also an insult to their academic qualifications and IQ.

Xie Meilan and Shen Lei were campus sweethearts who entered society together, which means she also graduated with a master's degree from a 985 university.

However, such a person who graduated with a high degree and worked in an investment bank in Beijing for many years has a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, which is only 10,000 yuan higher than when she just graduated. Even if miscellaneous bonuses are included, her level can only be considered very ordinary.

Either the company is not good, or Xie Meilan's level is not good enough. But even if her level is not good enough, she is currently a manager in an investment bank and will be promoted to director in the future, which means that the company is not good enough.

Moreover, as a 985 master's degree holder, Xie Meilan actually didn't know what terminal cancer meant?
This is simply outrageous!

He would rather empty his family's assets and borrow 400,000 yuan from his boss to fill this black hole. What's the difference between this and using cash from the world of the living to burn as ghost money?
It’s not that she should ignore her mother’s illness, but she should not lose her mind because of it. Even if she loses her mind, she can still force herself to explain it away with opinions like foolish filial piety. The most outrageous thing is that after her mother died, she still thought that she couldn’t save her mother because she didn’t have enough money!

Listen, because of lack of money we couldn’t save our mother who was in the advanced stage of cancer?
It feels absurd that we couldn't take Zhaozhuang because we didn't eat, and we died on the battlefield because the trajectory of the bullet went to the left.

This makes people doubt Xie Meilan's IQ, no, her cognitive level.

But then again, this not only proves that Xie Meilan is not smart enough, but also proves that her company is still not good enough.

In her previous life, when Na Jun was Huang Zhenhua, she worked in the financial investment industry. People like her, if asked to sweep the floor for Hongye Capital, would be afraid that she would not be able to tell which was the mop and which was the broom, and would not even let her in the door!
Even a normal cleaning lady knows what late-stage cancer means!
As for her PUA of Shen Lei and her desire to divorce to be with her boss, these things are actually in line with her IQ.

Of course, the fault for the couple’s divorce cannot be entirely placed on Xie Meilan; Shen Lei himself also has problems.

Although he is gentle, kind and family-oriented, it is also an undeniable fact that he is aloof, naive and has no ambition.

It is true that the Archives Department has an easy job, but he did not give any face at all when his superior offered him an olive branch.

The director asked him to play ball, but he refused. The director wanted to hear his work report, but he also refused.

This was both contact during their free time and an inspection of his work situation. Even a fool could tell that he might be about to move up.

Xie Meilan even advised him to play basketball with the director, but he refused, saying that he didn't like such an atmosphere.

It is worth mentioning here that Shen Lei was a good basketball player when he was in college. Xie Meilan often watched him play, so she knew his strengths and what this opportunity meant.

Unfortunately, Shen Lei probably felt that he would have to let his boss win when playing with him, and he would have to flatter his boss, which was contrary to the competitiveness of when he played basketball in school, so he didn't want to go.

All we can say is that even after many years of graduation, his thinking has not changed much. To put it nicely, this is called innocent.

So these two couples, one stupid and the other naive, are quite a match in a sense, but it would not be surprising even if they parted ways in the end.

We cannot completely blame the problem on Xie Meilan. We can only say which of them has a bigger problem, which has a smaller problem, and which one's behavior is more shameful.

Moreover, it is important to know that Xie Meilan had been responsible for most of the expenses of the couple for many years of marriage, and Shen Lei's money was all saved. So when Shen Lei spent all his savings on the treatment of Xie Meilan's mother, he could not just focus on showing off his greatness.

In short, this divorced couple is quite contradictory: one is content with the status quo, while the other is troubled by money. …

At Shen Lin’s home in Shenjia Village.

Na Wei, who returned home in glory, began to distribute gifts to Shen Lin's relatives in the yard.

"Uncle, this is yours!"

"Uncle, remember to eat too!"

"Brother! Brother! Don't forget to come and drink tomorrow!"

"..."

The yard was full of people. Na Wei, with a very happy face, distributed the gifts he brought to everyone one by one. It was extremely lively.

Shen Lin was standing behind with the child in her arms, also with a smile on her face.

She felt very happy when she heard relatives and neighbors praising Mr. and Mrs. Shen for finding a good son-in-law and praising Shen Lin for her good fortune.

After everyone left, Na Wei stood beside Shen Lin and sighed:

“If you don’t return home when you are rich and powerful, it’s like walking in the night in fine clothes. The old saying is true!”

Shen Lin also agreed with this logic. After visiting relatives, the two of them returned to the house with the family.

Li Xiaoyue followed Na Jun into the house to drink tea, rest, and then eat.

At the dinner table, Li Xiaoyue ate two bowls of rice with great interest and then stood up and said, "Brother, sister-in-law, I still have to help you arrange the banquet details and rehearse, so I'll go to the village cafeteria first!"

The Shen family's new home completion party and their youngest son's first birthday party were held together, and Li Xiaoyue volunteered to be in charge of this matter.

The materials for this banquet were also purchased by the channel supplier of Na Wei's company, so it was much cheaper. Li Xiaoyue had already made the plan when she was in Beijing, and had communicated with the people from the Shen family in advance. Basically, everything had been arranged in advance, except for some details that she needed to control, and the program at the banquet. As a Hanfu lover, she wanted to go up and dance this time.

Na Jun, who ate very quickly and had almost finished, put down his chopsticks and said, "Okay, I'll go help you."

Shen Lin advised first: "Don't be in a hurry, go after dinner."

The Shen family members beside her also advised her to go later, but Li Xiaoyue waved her hand and said, "It's okay, I'm full. The main thing is that the banquet will start tomorrow, and I have to rehearse the dance with everyone first."

Then she said to Na Jun, "No need, you continue eating with everyone else. We girls are rehearsing dance there, why are you following us?"

After everyone persuaded her for a while, Na Jun finally sent her to the cafeteria first, and he came back only when they started rehearsing the dance.

When he came back, the family was still chatting and greeting each other.

However, Na Jun suddenly saw Shen Lei helping Xie Meilan, who was holding her stomach, to slowly sit down.

Shen Lin said to her sister-in-law with concern: "Are you okay, Meilan? If I had known that you had stomach discomfort recently, I would have made more light dishes."

Xie Meilan waved her hand and forced a smile: "It's okay, it's a small problem, just rest for a while."

At this time, Shen Lei helped her sit down, then quickly poured her a cup of hot water and handed it to her with a distressed look on his face.

Na Jun, who was simple, kind and liked to liven up the atmosphere, smiled and said honestly when he saw this scene as soon as he entered the room:

"Haha, Lei Zi, I almost thought you were taking care of your pregnant wife!"
