The CEO's Beloved Wife

Chapter 4 Stealing?
It gets dark early in winter, and I get off work at six o'clock, and when I get home by bus No. 24, it's already dark.

I was worried about the child, so I was about to go to the room to watch the child, but my mother-in-law stopped me: "Where's the food?"

I was a little confused: "What kind of food?"

"What kind of food? Food for dinner, don't you need to eat it for dinner?" the mother-in-law yelled.

I just remembered that I used to go to the supermarket to buy vegetables during my lunch break at get off work, and prepare them for Chen Nian and her mother-in-law when I got home from work. Came back empty handed.

"Didn't you say that Wang Gui cooks?" I said softly.

"Do you really think of her as a slave? She has been taking care of the child all day, and she still wants to buy food for you for dinner?" The mother-in-law became more and more angry.I couldn't figure out where she got so angry, and I didn't ask her to cook.

Wang Gui didn’t have to cook dinner when he was tired after taking care of the baby for a day, but my one-month-old mother also worked for a whole day, so wouldn’t she be tired?

I didn't dare to talk back anymore, saying that I would go shopping for vegetables right away.

It's windy outside, and it's getting colder.

When I came to the vegetable market near the community, because of the cold weather, the stall owners harvested early, and most of the stalls were already empty. I bought some vegetables at random and took them back, but found that the door was closed, and no one opened the door no matter how hard I knocked. .

I forgot to bring the key when I came out, so I had to call Chen Nian and ask him to open the door for me.It was a long time after the call was connected that someone answered it. It was the mother-in-law's voice, hard and cold: "What's the matter?"

"Mom, I came back from grocery shopping. I forgot to bring the key. Please open the door." I said.

"When you finish the meal, everyone will starve to death. We'll eat outside. You can figure out a way for yourself." After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone with a snap.

It turned out that they went out to eat, and I rushed back with a bunch of dishes in advance like a fool.I'm afraid they won't be able to wait.

I squatted at the door, put the vegetables on the floor, and burst into tears.

Maybe it's because it's too cold, or maybe it's because I'm still in confinement, but I still feel a headache and some nausea.

I couldn't get in, so I had to go out again, thinking of buying some painkillers at a nearby pharmacy.

It began to sleet outside again. The coldest weather in the south is this kind of sleet with wind.It was a damp and bone-piercing cold, completely different from the cold in the north.I walked out of the community, feeling my head hurt even more, tightened my scarf, and walked to the nearest pharmacy.

I walked into the nearest Tai'an pharmacy, picked up a box of painkillers and came to the front desk. When I touched my pocket, I was stupid again.

The little money I had on me was spent on groceries, and I only had five yuan left, but the medicine cost 18 yuan.

"What's wrong?" The cashier at the pharmacy looked at me suspiciously.

"I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten to bring the money. I don't need the medicine. I'll get the money when I go back." I said awkwardly.

The cashier looked me up and down with a very strange look. Although I didn't understand what she meant, I could feel the unkindness in her eyes.

"You came to buy medicine without money? You can't just have no money, right? It's only 18 yuan, and you can't afford it?" the cashier said.

I didn't know, so I had to smile apologetically: "I'm sorry, I really forgot to bring the money." After finishing speaking, I was about to leave the pharmacy.

"Wait." The cashier signaled me to stop, and then called another salesperson: "Xiao Wu, come and see if she has hidden anything in her bag."

My head hurts even more. It sounds like you suspect that I'm here to steal something?
