Making a living in Dongguan, her fiery red lips offer me tenderness.

"These days, nothing is easy. As long as it's better than working in a factory, that's fine."

A short while later, someone came and called a truck to haul sand.

"Handsome guy, deliver three cubic meters of sand to Caiwu."

"OK!"

"How much?"

"This is my first day here, so just pay whatever you think is fair. I won't haggle. Let's go!"

"The handsome guy is very generous."

Ding Yang already knew this industry very well and was familiar with the market conditions, so he went directly to the sand and gravel wholesale department.

……

Evening, Qianhai, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, inside Wang Chan's large flat.

Wang Chan's husband, Lao Wang, came home early from get off work. He doesn't usually live here, but for some reason, he went crazy again today and came back.

I sat in the living room for a while, then went to the bathroom.

Suddenly, I saw a discarded pregnancy test stick in the toilet trash can.

Old Wang felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his heart was pounding.

Even a fool knows that besides checking if you're pregnant, what else is the purpose of using a pregnancy test?

That slut really was seeing other men outside, and she even got pregnant.

Old Wang sat in the living room, silently smoking.

More than an hour later, Wang Chan returned.

"Old Wang, what brings you here today?"

"What, can't I come back? Don't I have a share in this house?"

"What nonsense are you spouting? Who said you couldn't come back?"

Old Wang said sarcastically, "I shouldn't have come back; perhaps I've bothered you."

Wang Chan said, "Stop talking nonsense. You can come back or not, it's up to you. I've already eaten out. If you want to eat, go get something for yourself."

Old Wang calmed down.

"Xiao Chan, I already told you last time that we should get a divorce, but you wouldn't agree. Since we're not divorced yet, can't you at least give me some face?"

"When have I ever disrespected you? Don't be unreasonable, okay?"

"You don't need to pretend. I know you've already found someone else outside. I've wronged you all these years, but I don't blame you."

"Old Wang, explain yourself clearly. When did you find out I was having an affair? Are you out of your mind? If I really wanted a man, would I have waited until now?"

"Put your hands on your heart and tell me, how have I been any different from being a widow for the past ten years? I've wanted to divorce you several times, but I just couldn't bear to for the sake of the children."

"Old Wang, every time you bring up divorce, is that what you really think? It's just a manifestation of your own inferiority complex."

"I haven't agreed to a divorce because I know you don't really want one. I've been putting up with it for the sake of my parents and children. What more do you want from me?"

"Xiao Chan, I'm sorry, maybe I was too selfish. I've thought it through now, let's get a divorce. I'm serious about this, this isn't a test."

"Let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning. You're a lawyer, so you can draft a divorce agreement, and I'll sign it."

"This big house is yours, the small house in Luohu is mine, the law firm is yours, my company is mine, and I get custody of the two children. If you want, then we can each have one."

"All the cash, savings, and gold and silver jewelry in the house are yours. I also have some funds and stocks in my account, which are mine. The cars will remain the same, one for you and one for me, no need to split them."

"I won't tell either of our parents about the divorce for now. When the time is right, I'll tell them in person and say, 'Let's settle it like this.'"

"Old Wang, are you serious?"

"Of course I'm serious, I've never been this clear-headed before."

"After the divorce, it's none of my business if you find another man; I'll just ignore it."

"Old Wang, since you've said so, let's do it this way. Let's split it as you just said. See you at the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.."

"OK!"

Old Wang got up, ready to open the door.

"Xiao Chan, you've already had two C-sections, so you probably don't want to have a third child. You should be more careful when choosing a man in the future, and don't get pregnant easily. You need to take responsibility for your body and not go through another surgery."

"roll……"

Wang Chan's eyes welled up with tears.

After Lao Wang left, Wang Chan burst into tears, unsure whether she was crying for her lost youth or for the sake of her marriage.

Half an hour later, Wang Chan went to the restroom and saw a footprint on the floor, which should have been left by Lao Wang.

Looking back, there was still a pregnancy test that Tan Yan had used in the trash can.

Wang Chan understood. No wonder Lao Wang said he was seeing other men. It seemed that Lao Wang saw the pregnancy test and thought it was her.

Wang Chan didn't call Lao Wang to explain anymore. This marriage was already dead in name only and should have ended long ago. Now she was finally free.

……

Tan Yan returned home.

"Yan'er, you're back a little late today. Come and eat."

"oh!"

"Yan'er, where were you last night?"

"I was with Wang Chan last night, we talked about some things, and then I slept at her place."

Tan Yan ate while

"Yan'er, is something wrong between you and Xiaoyang? Yesterday, Xiaoyang sounded like he was about to leave; I felt like there was something behind his words. Did you two have a fight?"

"Mom and Dad, Xiaoyang ran away and broke up with me."

"What's going on? Everything was fine, why did you want to break up? What are you up to now?"

"Mom, there are some things I don't know how to say. Xiaoyang isn't as innocent as you think. He's in Chang'an and he's having an affair with another girl."

"When I went home this time, that girl actually went to Hunan to find him, and they started living together again."

"Moreover, Xiao Yang raises pigs in the countryside, and he has an affair with a woman in the village, which is quite complicated."

"Yan'er, how do you know all this? Did Xiao Yang's cousin tell you? That shouldn't be the case, right?"

"Mom, he drove my car home. I put a recorder in his car, and I could hear all his conversations with other people."

Tan's mother was dumbfounded.

"Yan'er, what kind of mess is this? We weren't too happy about her finding such a young boyfriend, but since you two are together, we'll accept it."

"Isn't this sudden breakup a bit too frivolous?"

"Even if Xiaoyang really is such a scumbag, shouldn't you listen to his explanation and not make a hasty decision?"

"In your father's and my eyes, Xiaoyang is not a malicious person, nor is he a particularly scheming child."

"Mom, I didn't say he was malicious or unkind, but it's a fact that he had an affair with another woman, and he admitted it himself."

"He told me that he and that girl originally had nothing, but when he went home this time, the girl traveled all the way to Hunan to find him, which moved him. Since there was no place for her to stay at home, the girl ended up sharing a bed with him."

"When he was raising pigs, he took care of the women left behind in the village. One of the women seduced him, and that's how they started having an affair."

"But when I hear these things, I feel really disgusted. I have my germaphobia, and I really can't stand it."

"Mom, please get me some more rice."
