Estimating the time when my husband should wake up, I quietly strolled home and heard about my own family. I wanted to catch him and the nanny once and investigate what they would do when I was away. This is exactly the purpose of my lying trip for three days.
In fact, after showing my husband the travel invoice, the next day I withdrew from the group and set up this bureau. I am really not at ease with them. I have no reason to dismiss her. She was brought in by her husband, who said she was helping me reduce my burden, hold my child, and do some household chores. However, she was invited by an 'ancestor', and I still have to wait on her.
She has been at our house for almost a month now, and it hasn't made me worry too much. I suspect this girl has some special relationship with my husband, but I haven't found any evidence. My husband scolded me for being too suspicious and said I'm a psychopath.
He said that this girl is the most reassuring. She was a student he had taught before. Two years after graduation, she had a poor family background and was working outside. However, my family was currently short of a helper, and I happened to meet her. I talked about being a nanny, but she was very willing and took it back home. The girl told me in front of me that she was a teacher in gratitude, and her salary was still acceptable.
At just 6 o'clock in the morning, it was already bright outside. I got up early at the small hotel and was ready to visit my home. I know that during this period, even the neighbors are not out yet, which is also the best time to eavesdrop. There will definitely be no acquaintances upstairs or downstairs. If I heard that the situation inside was normal, I would quietly leave and come back to listen when I went to bed at night. If I heard anything unusual inside, I immediately opened the door and caught both of them.
Today is the second day I lied and went on a trip. According to the travel schedule, I should have taken the bus at 9am yesterday and returned home at 6pm tomorrow afternoon. Actually, I didn't go there. I took the child to my mother's house the day before yesterday. Yesterday morning at 8 o'clock, I came out of the house and said goodbye to my husband and nanny. Then I took the bus with my backpack and pretended to go on a trip. In fact, I spent the whole day wandering in this city yesterday and stayed at a small hotel in the afternoon. I wanted to take a taxi home around 12 o'clock in the evening and secretly opened the door to see if they were sleeping together.
As a result, I may have been too tired and fell asleep when I lay down. Last night, at 11 o'clock, although the alarm went off, I was too sleepy to keep my eyes open. That's how I set the time to 5 o'clock in the morning and went back to sleep.
After waking up at five o'clock in the morning, I checked out and took the car to my doorstep. My husband is used to getting up after 6 o'clock every morning, then washing his face, having breakfast, surfing the internet, and going to work. The nanny and I usually wake up around 7 o'clock on weekdays, and our one year old son usually wakes up at 8:30.
I just need to press my ear against the door and I can hear everything inside very clearly, as I have tried before. I just arrived at my doorstep at 6 o'clock in the morning, and the room was quiet. I guess they were still sleeping, and I also wanted to open the door directly to see if they were in the same bed. Later, I was afraid that if I couldn't catch them, my situation would be very passive, so I decided to wait outside for a while to investigate the truth and emptiness. Sure enough, after only about 10 minutes, there was movement inside. My husband seemed to wake up, and there was a sound of slippers in the living room.
A few minutes later, I heard my husband calling out to her inside: "Xiaohui, what do you want to eat? Can I make you a poached egg?" She said, "Just drink milk and eat bread.
I got angry right from the beginning, I thought to myself, are you still responsible for cooking for her? Every morning, it's me who gets up to cook for you. Now that it's ready, you can return the "poached eggs"! Have you ever done it for me? She also eats bread and drinks milk, when did she buy it. When I was at home, I didn't mean "instant noodles+Mantou" or "millet" every morning. I only left for a day, and they secretly enjoyed it.
My husband seems to have entered the kitchen preparing to go, and at that time I wanted to rush in. I know Xiaohui must still be under the covers, this girl is too lazy. After another ten minutes, my husband seemed to have entered her room, and I vaguely heard them both hip-hop.
At this moment, I heard someone open the door to Uncle Wang's house upstairs. I quickly went downstairs and pretended to go home. If Uncle Wang asked me, I would say I had just returned from my trip. In a moment, someone came down from upstairs, not Uncle Wang or Aunt Wang. It was his grandson Xiao Gang who had just gone to school. The child greeted me and I weakly asked him how he was, creating a false alarm.
When I listened to the door again, I actually heard Xiaohui calling my husband's name directly, which is something she would never do in her daily life. She used to call me "Aunt", and her name for my husband never changed from "Teacher Li".
How dare a 17-year-old girl call out the name "Zhiqiang"? It's beyond my expectations. Later, I vaguely heard things like 'too sleepy' and 'massage'. I couldn't bear it anymore. I slowly turned the key to unlock it, and then rushed into the bedroom as fast as I could. The scene before me made me shiver.
She lay naked in the bed. My husband is sitting in his pajamas massaging her back. Is it a very eye-catching thing to mix Xiaohui's clothes with her husband's socks in the pile? Can they still explain it? I have confirmed my previous speculation that their teacher-student relationship has not only begun now. I have successfully caught the traitor, but is this the result I want?
It's over, everything's over. It's late, everything's late.
Can arguing solve the problem? At that time, when I faced their awkward appearance, I just sneered and turned around to leave home. This home will no longer be the home in my heart.
I'm leaving, carrying my unused travel bag. I've really decided to go on a long trip this time. The farther the better.
