After trying hard for several years, my husband and I were finally able to buy an apartment to live in. Being friendly and approachable, after moving here for nearly a year, my husband and I have made friends with households on the same floor.
Next door to me is a single father with his 4 year old daughter. I heard that his wife had an affair and left him and his father. The child was the same age as my son, so the two of them were clinging to each other all day, coming home from school and clinging to each other, playing until bedtime.
Every time there is something delicious, I give a portion to the father and son. Sometimes she even eats at my house. On the contrary, he also lives a reasonable life, every time he comes home from a business trip, he buys gifts for my family.
The love between neighbors would still be as close and strong as that if it hadn’t been for that incident.
Yesterday was Saturday, my husband still went to work, and I had the day off. After taking my children to school and going to the market, I come home and clean the house. While cleaning the toilet, unfortunately the faucet broke and splashed. I tried everything but to no avail. The water was still rushing and my body was wet.
Panicked, I turned off the water, changed clothes, and knocked on the neighbor’s door asking for help.
He is an electrical and water repairman so he knows these things very well.
Knocking on the door three times, the neighbor ran out. I was a bit surprised to see his clothes disheveled and his hair messy. I thought to myself, he probably stayed up late working last night, so in the morning he took the kids to school and then went home to sleep again.
Thinking about this, I feel a bit embarrassed for accidentally interrupting his sleep. But since you’re awake, I still ask:
– My faucet is broken. I was cleaning and the faucet suddenly came off, no matter how I turned it, it wouldn’t work. I was so panicked that I turned off the water to prevent it from overflowing. Can you come take a look and help me? But when the water is turned off, there is no water to use.
The neighbor always agreed.
He told me to wait a bit to get my tools. At this time, a girl came out of his bedroom, surprising me, because this was the first time I saw him bringing a woman home.
But when she turned around to greet me, I changed from a state of surprise to a state of shock and shock when I saw a familiar figure.
We made eye contact, she looked confused and worried. Thinking about the neighbor’s disheveled clothes just now, I guessed that the two must have some kind of relationship. Perhaps just now the two of them were “engaging in a game” when I interrupted them. Thinking of this, I angrily rushed into the neighbor’s house and shouted loudly:
– Why are you here? When did you and him know each other? Why are you and Khanh about to get married and why are you going to another man’s house like this?
The neighbor was panicked and told me to calmly say if there was something wrong. But how can I stay calm, because she is my brother’s fiancée. The two of them have been in love for nearly 2 years, and their families have already met to discuss adult matters. The wedding date was already set, but now she’s secretly having an affair with another man.
The neighbor heard me speak and stammered: “What did you say?”. Then he turned to his girlfriend and angrily questioned: “Is what she said true?
Both my neighbor and my younger brother were scammed. Upon asking, I found out that my future brother and sister-in-law have only been together for more than 3 months. Seeing that the relationship was progressing, he took her home while his daughter was going to school.
He thought he was about to marry a kind wife and give his daughter a good mother, but he did not expect to be deceived. Angry at being deceived and not wanting to get involved in someone else’s love story, he bluntly cut off contact with her.
As for my future sister-in-law, she could only cry and beg me not to talk about this with her brother. She said she made a mistake because she was temporarily stupid, but always insisted that nothing beyond the limit had happened between her and her neighbor.
It’s funny to think about. Temporary? Haven’t gone over the limit yet? Following someone else home and being so stupid all the time? If my faucet hadn’t broken today, maybe she would have surpassed that limit. Now I really don’t know how to talk to my brother and his family.
