My wife is in my arms

Chapter 151 Disciple Two

The weather today is really not good.

The sky was gloomy. Under such a sky, in a remote part of the city, more than ten kilometers away from the musical instrument workshop, there was a shop called "Fine Pedicure Shop"... Looking up at the sign of this pedicure shop, Zhang You felt displeased no matter how he looked at it.

Just do pedicures and put up a sign with the city name as the prefix.

He had to make a fine product. When did pedicure become so high-end? However, no matter how much he disliked it, he couldn't say anything. Originally, Zhang You really didn't plan to come.

In this society, everyone has his or her own life trajectory.

Zhang You didn't think... that he could arbitrarily manipulate other people's original life trajectories. As for Jiang Yiren and Xiao Zishan, one was his wife and the other was his daughter.

So Zhang You was willing to take responsibility, especially since Zhang You always felt that a woman like Jiang Yiren should not have a miserable end, not to mention Xiao Zishan, whom Zhang You liked very much. He even felt depressed for a while a few nights ago after Jiang Yiren mentioned that she would get married sooner or later.

But after thinking about it for a while, Zhang You felt relieved.

Life should be like this. When the daughter was young, she only had her father in her eyes. As she grew up, she looked forward to love and gradually fell in love with a boy. Then she started a family and had her own children... Zhang You only hoped that Xiao Zishan would not inherit Jiang Yiren's obsession with appearance.

Even though his family disagreed, he still insisted on doing it.

Life is not like taking multiple-choice questions. If you make a mistake, there is a teacher to help you correct it, which reduces the probability of making the same mistake again during the exam. On the contrary, every day in life is an exam. When faced with a choice, if you make a mistake, you have to bear the consequences.

But Xia Zhiqiu begged him so much that she even waived his fee for today's music and the bill he forgot to pay last time because he was in a hurry to pick up Xiao Zishan. It's not that Zhang You was reluctant to spend the money, but he was mainly moved by some of Xia Zhiqiu's qualities.

For a former student, although this student's voice... Regarding this point, Zhang You admitted that Zhongxia was indeed very talented as a singer. Even without any systematic training, his voice was textured and very recognizable.

But that’s what I said, there are so many talented people in this society! ?

Once life comes to bear, no matter how talented you are, if you are unable to support your family, you will still have no choice but to choose another path.

Examples like this.

Zhang You has seen too much. When he first saw it, he felt sorry for it, but after seeing it so many times, he became numb. He even used the leverage his wife took over and had to make money day and night.

At this moment, it was only ten o'clock in the morning. In Zhang You's impression, customers who needed foot repairs would generally choose to come after five or six in the afternoon. But when he stepped into this small shop, he found that... it was really a relatively profitable industry. At this time, there were actually customers lying on the chairs.

There were a dozen or so beds covered with white sheets, which looked quite formal, not the kind of informal shop with a front shop for pedicure and a back shop. A skinny girl of eighteen or nineteen was squatting next to a woman in her thirties, watching her movements carefully.

The moment the store door was opened, she subconsciously looked up.

then.

Her originally skinny body suddenly shrank, and she looked a little at a loss, with her head lowered, as if she was afraid of being recognized by Mr. Li Zongsheng.

Zhang You didn't take it seriously.

Seeing that the girl was really learning pedicure, Zhang You couldn't help but sigh. Xia Zhiqiu had already told him about the girl's current situation. Her parents had passed away long ago, and now she only had her only sister left.

Perhaps it was for this reason that no matter how much Xia Zhiqiu tried to persuade him, after seeing his own results this time, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back... Zhongxia finally made this decision.

Zhongxia studies very hard and is the kind of child who devotes all his free time to studying.

But after entering high school, it is really not possible to improve your grades just by working hard.

Of course, there are children who will achieve good results after working hard, but Zhongxia is not so lucky.

The efforts never bore fruit.

The midterm exam results came out a few days ago.

English 72, Math 85, Chinese 73, Chemistry 81, Physics 60, a total of 120 or 150 points on the test. No matter how hard she tried, she was still hovering between passing and failing.

Zhang You took off his shoes and lay on the bed. He turned his head to look at Zhong Xia, who seemed to have shrunk a little bit and lowered her head even more. Zhang You pointed at her and said, "Go get some hot water for footbath. You can help me with my pedicure today."

"Sir, she..."

Another pedicure technician came over and was about to say something, but Zhang You waved his hand and said, "Customers are the most important. Let her come. Zhongxia, go quickly."

When Zhang You called out Zhongxia's name, the store employees immediately realized that this was the same beautiful woman who had been trying to persuade Zhongxia to go back to school. "Go get this gentleman some hot water!"

The woman who taught Zhongxia pedicure turned around and said with a smile.

After pouring the water, Zhongxia, who had been keeping his head down, tested the water temperature. When Zhang You took off his socks and put his feet in, he didn't feel it was hot.

Zhang You lay on the bunk. This was his first time soaking his feet and it felt really good.

No wonder men like to soak their feet. It turns out...feet can really be soaked.

After soaking for a while, Zhongxia lifted one of Zhang You's feet, wiped it with an absorbent towel, and then took out a set... It was indeed a set, with both large and small blades.

"Zhongxia, let me tell you, if you cause any problems with my feet today, you'll have to... compensate me."

Zhang You said with some concern.

Zhongxia didn't answer, but her body trembled uncontrollably. Her hand, which was supposed to be a small knife for scraping dead skin, shook. Zhang You's heart was in his throat.

When Zhongxia started to take action, Zhang You reminded him again, "Zhongxia, you..."

Before he could finish his words, he was stunned by the pain coming from his feet. Zhang You looked up and saw that Zhongxia, who was supposed to scrape the dead skin from the soles of his feet, did not hold the knife steadily, and the knife went straight through the skin and scraped into the soles of Zhang You's feet.

Zhongxia was also shocked by this situation.

I just stared blankly at Mr. Li Zongsheng's feet bleeding.

"gentlemen……"

An employee in the store reacted and was about to apologize to him on Zhongxia's behalf, but Zhang You raised his hand to stop him. He picked up the absorbent towel that Zhongxia had just used to wipe his feet, wiped the blood off the soles of his feet, put on his socks and shoes, and stood up directly from the bunk.

Looking up at the price list behind the cashier, Zhang You took out his phone to scan the code to pay. Just when everyone thought he was leaving, Zhang You said in a deep voice, "You are not good at studying, and your foot repair is not good either. What are you still doing here? Come back with me!"

Zhongxia's skinny body trembled violently.

In a daze.

The song she particularly liked, "Yu Zhong", rang in her ears, and Zhongxia realized that if she rejected Mr. Li Zongsheng this time, she would have to stay here in the future.

The strings of fate were plucked at this moment.

Looking at the figure who pushed away the door and jumped out of the store on one foot, Zhongxia knew... it must be her former music teacher Xia Zhiqiu who asked Mr. Li Zongsheng to come over.

But he didn't persuade her.

He just asked her to help him fix his feet, which was not very successful, and then he said, "Come back with me."

Zhongxia had made many mistakes in the midterm exam a few days ago, but this time... she bowed to express her gratitude to the woman who was willing to take her in as an apprentice, then immediately opened the glass door and followed.

The gears of fate turned without making any sound.

But the woman who had just divorced and was willing to teach Zhongxia when she saw her coming even though the store was not recruiting apprentices, did not express her gratitude with any words, but only bowed deeply.

Faced with such a great gift, she suddenly had a strange feeling.

She felt that she would meet this apprentice again, whom she had not taught for a few days.

This feeling is so real that it seems to have become tangible.

It was like she saw her husband with her own eyes... having sex with another woman.

"midsummer"

When she first heard the name, she thought it was really nice.

Midsummer Night's City.
