When Mrs. Liu stepped into her home and the maid took her handbag, she felt as if she had escaped from death.
She beat her aching waist and shuddered again when she thought of the day she had spent at the Wei family. The eldest son of Shu Wanrong was really terrible. He was so confident in commanding the guests to work. Shu Wanrong really spoiled him too much. She didn’t even say a word of advice, which made her too embarrassed to refuse, so that she could only bury her head in work.
Then her husband’s shocked question came from the stairs: “Why did you come back so late? Did you fall into a mud pit? Why are so dirty?”
Mrs. Liu was too tired to talk, so she waved her hands silently: “It’s a long story. This day has been really ridiculous.”
Her husband quickly followed her and saw her appearance clearly. He was even more surprised. Then he saw what she was holding in her hand and asked, “What are you doing holding a leek in your hand?”
Mrs. Liu looked at the leek in her hand, and her expression became even more speechless. After entering the room, she put it on the bedside table. “Shu Wanrong’s eldest son gave it to me. He said it can help me sleep and relieve stress. Who knows what nonsense he was saying. I smelled it on the way and it doesn’t look like leek, but I don’t know what it is. Don’t worry about it. I’ll go take a shower first and tell you slowly later.”
Her husband said “oh”, lifted the quilt, sat on the bed, opened his laptop and started typing.
Mrs. Liu took the clothes and saw this scene before entering the bathroom. She couldn’t help but frown and advise: “Don’t look at the computer. You can’t sleep anyway. Be careful that you will get more energetic if you look at it.”
Her husband raised his hand and pinched the bridge of his nose, smiling helplessly, but it was difficult to hide the fatigue between his brows: “Okay, I know what I’m doing, you go wash up, I’ll be done in a moment.”
As soon as the bathroom door was closed, Liu Wen’s smile disappeared immediately, and a deep melancholy appeared in his eyes.
He knew his wife’s advice was for his own good, but how could he control his insomnia? The pressure from work was too great. When he closed his eyes, his head was filled with all kinds of business data and personal connections. These huge and complex difficulties were like a mountain pressing down on him, making him dare not relax for a moment. He hadn’t been able to sleep for more than four hours without sleeping pills for a long time. His mood was getting worse and worse, and various depression symptoms came one after another, making him on the verge of collapse every moment.
It was so hard to support a family!
He blinked his dry eyes, suppressed the thought of ending it all, and randomly typed a string of numbers on the keyboard. Suddenly, he smelled a faint fragrance, which slowly penetrated into his nose and filled his brain, making him feel relaxed and happy for the first time in a long time.
Like the blooming flowers in spring, the gurgling streams in summer, the maple leaves all over the mountains, and the endless snow-capped mountains.
He turned his head in confusion and saw the leek leaf with a little dirt on it lying quietly next to the lamp on the bedside table.
Mrs. Liu was tired and angry. She was worried when she took a shower. Even the discovery that her face, which had been touched by dirt, seemed to have become smoother in the bathroom did not arouse her emotions. Her husband, Liu Wen, was in the investment business. Although he made a lot of money, his responsibilities had also increased exponentially. The market economy had not been good in the past two years. Liu Wen went out early and came back late every day, working more than fourteen hours. Every day when she opened her eyes, her husband was working, and when she closed her eyes, her husband was still working. In nearly a year, she never caught her husband sleeping. Once, she even found a half-eaten bottle of sleeping pills in the drawer!
What would happen to his health if this continued?
While wiping her wet hair, she opened the bathroom door and decided to go downstairs to make her husband a cup of hot milk to help him sleep. However, the cold air in the room hit her in the face, but she did not hear the typing sound that should have been there.
Huh?
Mrs. Liu walked lightly and slowly leaned her head towards the house. The next second, the towel she was using to dry her hair fell to the ground.
The desk lamp in the room was still on, and the computer screen saver lay on the carpet beside the bed. Her husband, who had been working before she went into the bathroom, was now sleeping in bed with his legs spread out, his mouth wide open, and snoring in a regular and even voice.
Her husband stretched out his left hand from under the quilt, tightly holding a small, unattractive leek.
….
Liu Wen slept for a full twelve hours. If his subordinates hadn’t called him out of fear that he might have had an accident because they saw he was late, he would probably have slept the entire day.
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt that the whole world was bright and his mood was high and cheerful, just like the sunlight leaking into the room through the gap in the curtains.
After dealing with his subordinates, he glanced at the screen of his mobile phone and realized that he had slept for so long. He was so shocked that he suddenly jumped out of bed and found that his wife had been sitting by the bed watching him.
He found that he was late, but he was not in a bad mood at all. He smiled and asked his wife: “What’s the matter? Didn’t you make an appointment to play cards with anyone today?”
Mrs. Liu glanced at her husband angrily and said, “I saw that you didn’t wake up for such a long time, and I was worried that something might have happened to you!”
Liu Wen was in a trance for a moment, looking at the ceiling of the room in confusion, and muttered to himself: “Yes, I haven’t slept so deeply in a long time. It seems like I have returned to the days when I was young and had no pressure at all. I didn’t even dream. It’s amazing.”
Mrs. Liu was silent for a while after hearing this, and her eyes slowly fell on the grass that her husband had been pinching all night. The grass leaf that was still very fresh last night had now begun to turn yellow at the top. Mrs. Liu looked at it with a look of disdain that turned into a look of amazement: “When the Wei family kid gave it to me yesterday, he said it can help me sleep and relieve stress. Do you think this is the effect of this thing?”
Liu Wen held up the wild grass that looked like leek leaves and was extremely surprised: “This is too incredible…”
….
Mrs. Liu then quickly set off for the Wei family again. When she arrived at the Wei family, she found that several young sisters had already arrived early.
The living room of the Wei family was filled with the chattering and laughter of the ladies. Mrs. Liu didn’t know what they were doing there at first, but after she sat down and heard a few words, she was immediately shocked.
It turned out that her husband wasn’t the only one who slept well these days. Other friends who received the grass leaves from Wei Xi also slept well at home. Mrs. Zheng, who was troubled by hair loss, was even more excited than her: “Oh, you don’t know, I have been suffering from insomnia since menopause. You also know that I have a bad temper when I can’t sleep, so I get angry with my husband and children at home every day. As a result, I slept well every day these days, and all the anger in my heart seems to have disappeared. Even a lot of new hair grew on my hairline. Maybe it’s the effect of the mud.”
Another sister also said: “Yes, I don’t have insomnia anyway, so I gave the grass to my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law has been in a good mood recently. She drags me to the street every day to buy me clothes and bags. I have been married to my husband for so long, when has she ever been so nice to me? This time I came here just to buy some grass from Wei Xi and send it abroad for my son. He is under a lot of academic pressure abroad, and I heard that he hasn’t had a good sleep for a long time.”
Shu Wanrong was praised by her friends, but she didn’t look happy at all, because Tuan Tuanyi was already smiling and promoting it: “Really? That’s great. My master was also very happy when he heard about it. But my master said that although the jujube is good, it is easy to wither and age after being picked. Once the jujube is withered, it will be useless. If everyone keeps buying it, it will be a big expense. How about this? I suggested to my master that I want to set up a corner for relaxing and drinking tea in the yard of our home. As long as the aunts buy our Taicang Sect membership card, they can bring people in for tea and chat. There are many rare and precious herbs collected by my master in the garden. The effects of some plants are more magical than jujube. Staying in it for a long time will be good for the body. Maybe some symptoms can also be cured without external help. And when the time comes, you can use this membership card to buy jujube, and there will be a 10% discount. If you buy a lot, there may be benefits in the future.”
When the ladies heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and clapped their hands in admiration.
There was a discount, a 10% discount, and membership discounts. They could also drink tea and chat in the garden. It was simply great!
Shu Wanrong: “………………”
In the evening, Wei Tianyi came home from get off work and when he opened the door he was greeted by a burst of shrill laughter.
He stood at the gate of the yard in silence for a while, then involuntarily took two steps back, looked at the house number, and confirmed that this was indeed his home.
“…” Wei Tianyi asked the pale-faced housekeeper Zhou, “What’s going on?”
Butler Zhou: “…It’s like this, the young master opened a leisure… leisure club at home.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Tianyi immediately became furious: “Nonsense! Didn’t Madam stop him?”
Butler Zhou: “…It’s like this, the first batch of members of the Young Master’s Leisure Club are the Madam’s friends.”
Wei Tianyi: “…”
It’s all reversed! Everything is reversed!
