Chapter 40 Mixed up?Getting divorced?

Chapter 39 Mix it up?Getting divorced?

Wednesday, May 2007, 7 Sunny

I have been looking forward to becoming friends with Maomei.With her, I always find answers to my questions, at least in business.

Therefore, I often find excuses to approach Maomei and ask her for advice on business confusion.

But to my surprise, Maomei took the initiative to approach me.She likes to play Chengdu mahjong, and when there is a vacancy, she will ask me to fill the vacancy.At first I didn't dare to go, because I was afraid that the beating would be too big, but later I found out that except for entertaining guests, she usually beats very lightly.She's just passing the time this way.

If she can't make up all the mahjong, she will ask me to drink with her.Find a clean place, either red wine or beer, drink and chat.

At first I wondered why she would take the initiative to ask me out. Later, I gradually realized that she was a little lonely.It was a kind of loneliness standing on the top of the peak.Looking around in a daze, most of them are hills lower than themselves.

Naturally, I haven't reached her height yet, but because I was also lonely, and because I deliberately approached her, I became friends with her.

For a period of time, Maomei would invite me to drink and chat almost every night until late at night, and then sent me back to my brother.

Maomei is 32 years old, not yet married, and doesn't even have a boyfriend.She is a native of City C. She has been working in a foreign company after graduating from university. She just left the foreign company a few years ago and opened a printing company as the boss.

Because of being busy with business, Mao Mei became a leftover woman.Her former girlfriends were all married and had children, and they had their own families. Mao Mei couldn't go to see them often, and gradually became a lonely family.

Her parents urged her to marry rather urgently, and she couldn't bear the endless nagging, so she moved out of the house and lived by herself.The house is rented, and the house she bought has not been renovated yet.

Regarding personal problems, it's not that she is not in a hurry, but that she has no suitable ones.

Most of those who are about the same age are married, and most of those who are not married are too young.And so she procrastinated.

She had met a man of her own age once, but the man had talked to her once and then slipped away.

She is too thorough, too deep, men are afraid.

For men, Maomei has such comments.She said: Men despise women's superficiality while fearing women's profundity.

This made my face burn hot, it seems that I also have a little bit of this problem.

But I disagree with her other point of view.

She said: "Women should not be too beautiful, otherwise men will be afraid of being unsafe; they should not be too smart, otherwise men will be afraid of being calculated; they should not be too capable, otherwise men will be suspected of being soft food; and they should not be too stupid, otherwise men will lose face if they take them out." So, men sometimes don't know what kind of woman to look for."

I said: "If you switch the positions of women and men, your conclusion will still stand. At the same time, when you comment on men like this, it just reflects your attitude towards men. You are a perfectionist, so you will overdo it." entangled with men's faults."

Mao Mei laughed, and she said, "I'm a perfectionist, so it's better not to get married in this life."

She already knew the conflict between Zhou Yuan and me, and asked me, "Do you really want a divorce?"

I said: "I don't want to. I have lived with Zhou Yuan for almost seven years. I am used to her faults and her advantages. I don't want to spend another seven years to get to know another person. That way too tired."

Mao Mei said, "Then why don't you take the initiative to reconcile with her? Because of face?"

I said: "Face is one thing. In addition, I don't want to live in her house anymore, it's too restrictive."

"Then what are you going to do?" Maomei asked me.

I said: "When I bought the house, I will go to her again. If she notifies me to go through the divorce procedure before I buy the house, then I can only go to sign it."

Mao Mei shook her head and said, "You actually want a divorce, but you don't want to be the one who abandoned your marriage first."

I was silent for a while.

It seemed that Maomei had seen through me again.

Saturday, August 2007, 7 sunny

Maomei's new house has already started to be renovated.Sometimes, Maomei would call me and ask me to go over and look at the scene.

In the afternoon, Mao Mei and I were at the renovation site when Zhou Yuan called and said, "My son has a fever and is in the pediatric hospital."

As soon as I heard it, I became nervous and said, "I'll be right there."

Mao Mei said that she drove me off, and took 5000 yuan and stuffed it in my hand, saying it was a spare.

The lobby of the Pediatric Hospital is crowded with children and parents who are seeing a doctor.Often two or three parents take care of one child, so the pediatric hospital is always more crowded than other hospitals.

I called Zhou Yuan and asked where she was, she said she was on the second floor.

Maomei and I hurried to the second floor.At the stairs on the second floor, I saw Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan was sitting on the steps of the stairs with the child in her arms, her face dripping with sweat, her hair drooping, her eyes fixed on the son in her arms.Surrounded by people coming and going, those moving thighs, like a dense forest, surrounded the mother and child.

It is an indescribable picture.My heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and the warmth that urgently needed to be released surged into my heart.

I walked over quickly and took the child from Zhou Yuan.I touched my son's head and found that my son had a severe fever.Zhou Yuan said that there were too many people and they hadn't registered yet.There was a long queue for registration, and she couldn't take care of it alone.Mao Mei said next to him, "I have acquaintances in this hospital. Let's see if I can see a doctor first, and then make up a number."

Zhou Yuan and I waited in place.I peeked at Zhou Yuan, and saw that she looked tired, her cheekbones were slightly raised due to her weight loss; strands of sweat-wet hair stuck to her face, as if she had just worked in the fields The returning rural woman.

"You are tired." I said softly to Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan turned her face away, and a group of tears fell quietly.

Mao Mei quickly found someone and took us directly to the specialist consultation room.

The doctor was a woman in her 50s. After seeing her son's illness, she said that acute tonsillitis caused a high fever and suggested hospitalization.

The doctor issued the hospital bill, and Maomei ran back and forth to help us pay for the medicine and pay for the medicine. She didn't leave until her son finished the bottle.

Zhou Yuan looked at Maomei busy, and looked at her with complicated expressions. She didn't sit down next to her son until she left.

The son was already asleep, his face flushed.Zhou Yuan gently stroked her son's face with her hand, without saying a word.

After a long time, she suddenly buried her head next to her son and sobbed softly.

I was at a loss and walked over to gently hold her shoulder.

Zhou Yuan sobbed harder, and everyone else in the ward turned to look at us.

An aunt came over and asked me if the child was seriously ill.

I shook my head and said, "The tonsils are inflamed, nothing serious."

The aunt left suspiciously.

Cloudy Monday, September 2007, 7
For two days, Zhou Yuan and I stayed with our son in the hospital.The son's fever has been relieved, and he has returned to his true nature of being alive and kicking.

But my relationship with Zhou Yuan still hasn't improved, she is very cold to me.

I think Zhou Yuan didn't want to divorce me, and our quarrel that night was just angry words.Because they couldn't wipe off their faces and refused to bow their heads, they became more and more alienated.

Between us, in fact, we only need to pierce that layer of window paper.If it is broken, they will be husband and wife again; if it cannot be broken, they may be passers-by.

My son's illness was an opportunity for me and Zhou Yuan to restore our relationship, but no matter how I showed my affection, Zhou Yuan ignored me.Obviously, I missed the chance.

On the day the son was discharged from the hospital, the parents-in-law had already returned from traveling abroad.Hearing that his son was ill, he rushed over in a hurry, and was relieved when he saw that his son had recovered.

I completed the discharge procedures, and four people escorted my son out of the hospital.

Maomei's car had already parked in front of the hospital.I called her in advance and asked her to send Zhou Yuan and her son back.

But Zhou Yuan didn't want to take Maomei's car.She said that she was used to taking the bus and felt dizzy in the car.

The parents-in-law also said: "It's better to take the bus back and forget it, so don't bother others."

I watched my father-in-law get on the bus with his son in his arms.When the bus was moving, Zhou Yuan glanced at me from the window, and I saw tears in her eyes.

I sighed softly and got into Maomei's car.

Maomei asked me where I was going, I thought for a while, and said, "Take me back to the store." I haven't been to the store for several days, so I don't know how my brother's business is doing these days.

Maomei drove the car silently, and said after a long time, "Sister-in-law is not easy, you have to cherish it."

I said, "I really want to cherish it, but she always ignores me. What can I do?"

Mao Mei said, "You're too careless, don't you see that she's jealous?"

I said, "Jealous? Whose jealousy?"

Mao Mei said, "Me. A passable woman is by your side, and it happens that you are in a sensitive period. Is it any wonder she isn't jealous?"

I froze for a moment.

Mao Mei said: "I saw it when I took you to the hospital that day. She was very wary of me, and it was even more obvious today."

I said, "Then why didn't you remind me? I can explain it to her."

Mao Mei said: "Your thoughts are all in the eyes of money. No wonder you can't see that you don't understand women. Only women who are interested in you will be angry with you. Do you see me angry in front of you?"

I laughed and said, "Mao Mei, you can really talk. To be honest, I don't have any thoughts about you. You are only suitable to be friends."

Maomei laughed and said, "Look, I'm not angry when you hit me like this. Let Zhou Yuan try these words?"
