Chapter 1 — 30 Days Before Divorce

Nearby cities issued level 17 storm warnings. Thieu Kham placed the divorce agreement in front of me. There are still a bunch of snacks on the tea table that I prepared because I may not be able to go out in the next few days. I just heard him say: "Nguyen Vi is married." "Look at the agreement, the daughter belongs to you, the house and car are also given to you." "The cat in the house also belongs to you." I picked it up and flipped through a few pages, my expression remained unchanged. "Do you have a pen?" I asked him. Thieu Kham's spine stiffened, the hand that gave me the pen trembled slightly. I suddenly burst out laughing, revealing an expression like the one I usually couldn't stand watching him do housework. After that, I quickly grabbed the pen from his hand and signed the divorce agreement. Thieu Kham asked me: "Phuong Moc, have you thought about it carefully? I mean, we are about to divorce, from now on we will live separately." "You haven't thought about it carefully." I raised my head to look at him, seriously answering: "But I know you have been preparing this for a long time." When I said it right, Thieu Kham's face looked a bit confused. Perhaps in your imagination, I will be entangled with you for a long time. He just hopes I can give him back his freedom. Maybe you thought I would question you about everything. I also thought I would break down because he asked for a divorce. I could even do something scary to the woman who is killing your child outside. Therefore, he ceded all benefits to me, even the cat in the house did not want to be taken away. After all, before I showed that I loved him so much, my biological family was so unhappy. All the support in my life before was only you. I thought wrong. The reason I decided to marry him was so that I could say goodbye to him better in the future. I had been abandoned by my parents before, and I had prepared myself countless times for this.01I thought he would be the next relative to abandon me, after my parents. The contents of the agreement are beneficial to me. Like I was afraid I would regret it, even our daughter's monthly alimony was not paid monthly. It clearly states that five million yuan will be taken at a time to establish a trust fund. Every month, I can withdraw twenty thousand yuan, which can only be used for living needs and raising my daughter. My daughter is actually much happier than I was when I was little. Thieu Kham and I both love her very much. The house and car both belong to me, I don't need to buy them back. Still living in the familiar environment, no need to change, my mood will not be affected. The only expenses I need to worry about in the future are probably my living expenses, along with electricity, water and management fees. But I'm not completely without income. After giving birth, because I wanted to take better care of my child, I quit my job at a large corporation. Waiting for my child to go to kindergarten, I used my savings to open a nail salon. There are five permanent employees in the shop. Currently, the average net profit per month is about fifty thousand yuan. Thieu Kham is better than me. The company under your name has too many people, I can't manage it, and I don't have the same ability as you. Your company doesn't belong to me, so it's reasonable to just give me a few shares. At the same time, debts arising from business activities during the marriage are all his business. I am no longer involved in his social relationships after the divorce. To be honest, I can't think of any reason why I wouldn't sign it. Maybe you feel my reading speed is a bit fast, but I really read very carefully. You and I graduated from the same university, my intelligence is not lower than yours, it's just that

Just read a few pages of the agreement. There are no terms that disadvantage me, not even a word play to deceive me. As an ex-husband, he is very satisfactory, and can even be considered excellent. Regarding the division of marital assets, such as liquid assets under his name, for example cash, he also agrees to give me a portion. The only thing that can continue to cause dispute is the amount of money he spent on Nguyen Vi. As a wife, I can ask for it back. Sure enough, he quickly kindly reminded me: "I spent a lot of money on Nguyen Vi." I thought for a moment. Our house is worth twenty million yuan, and now belongs to me. The car, including depreciation, is definitely not worth as much as when it was first purchased, but it's still great to drive. I could sell the other shares, cash just came into my pocket, and the amount of money deposited in my name increased a lot. Several banks in the city had to donate rice and oil to invite me to deposit money. What's wrong with me? "Then just consider it a blessing gift from me to your child." I said happily. After signing, I gave the divorce agreement to him, but I saw him holding it and was stunned for a long time. Thieu Kham quietly looked at me, as if considering whether I was pretending or not. I asked: "Do you still have a problem?" He opened his mouth, as if he still wanted to ask something. The clock hands pointed to half past nine, and the alarm that was permanently set on my phone all year round vibrated. I took out my phone and shook it. "I have to supervise my daughter when she goes to sleep." And whatever you want to say, leave it for next time. I'm not curious anymore.02My daughter is sixteen years old. She has long had her own room, a big child used to sleeping on her own. When I opened the door to her room, I saw many idols and cartoon characters on the wall that I didn't know. Their faces were all smiling brightly. These things always make me look stressed. But I came here to inform, not to ask for her permission. "Shao Moc Xi! Tonight I will sleep with you, don't turn around, don't make a fuss, otherwise get out of my house." Normally, she is in puberty, has a hot temper, but today she is a little more understanding: "Okay, but only for this time." Before going to sleep, she still couldn't help but ask me: "Mom, do you really want to divorce me?" Dad?" I immediately knew she would put her ear to the door to eavesdrop. "Of course it's true, otherwise do you want to see mom and dad arguing every day?" She pondered for a moment. "That's not possible, later on I have to take the university entrance exam, so don't affect me." She said again: "There are many friends in my class whose parents are divorced, please grow up a little." What a selfish, self-interested girl. Indeed it is my daughter. I told her one by one about my plan, and also told her that in the future there would be a trust fund of five million yuan. But she still has some dissatisfaction. "What's with 'my daughter will be much happier than when I was little'? I can't compare you to my past, I have to compare you to people of the same age."Is there a problem? I didn't say anything wrong. From now on, every month she can use her own twenty thousand yuan in pocket money. Even if he goes to college or has to work as a hired laborer after graduation, he can still live much more comfortably than other people his age. I said: "Your parents both love you very much, so aren't you a lot happier than your mother when you were a child?" The daughter kept her mouth shut, because she knew that was the case. "I have a pair of parents who love me very much, but I don't have one." I added. The girl's face quickly revealed her heartache for me,

made me feel goosebumps. "Congratulations, you will have another younger brother in the future." His sad expression immediately disappeared, becoming serious: "So doesn't he still have to share his father's inheritance with you?" That's right. Later, she had to participate in an inheritance war. That's what makes it so annoying. I didn't look at her anymore, I lay down straight and prepared to sleep. It's okay if he doesn't sleep, I have to get a good night's sleep.03Maybe the current divorce doesn't make me have any obvious reaction. But in the deep memories of the subconscious, turbulence still arises. As dawn approached, something happened. While dreaming, I heard Thieu Kham standing outside my daughter's door calling my name. But I slept so soundly that I didn't have the strength to respond to him. Five or six o'clock in the morning is a very suitable time to dream. There's an alarm at seven o'clock to wake me up so I can make a nutritious breakfast for my daughter. In the dream, because of that voice, I returned to the past. Back when we were fifteen years old, studying at Thirteenth High School. Thirteenth High School is the worst school in the city. The children who did not pass the entrance exam for School Number One, but only passed the exam for School Number Thirteen, people in the city would hear it and shake their heads, saying that this child would be finished in the future. At that time, Thieu Kham and I were among the children who were thought to be finished. In tenth grade, we were classmates in first grade. You're letting yourself go, and I'm running for class president. When I campaigned for Thieu Kham to vote for me, I put into play the professional qualities I learned from the host training class when I was young, and spoke to him in a very stylish way. I really like to use the fake voice that is often heard on middle and high school radio programs. "Classmate, please give me a vote, in the future I will be the class monitor and will invite you to eat snacks." The more Thieu Kham disliked me, the more I deliberately made him nauseous. After being pestered by me for several days, he finally agreed to give me a vote. Thieu Kham asked me contemptuously: "What are you trying for? Our parents have both abandoned us." I didn't pay attention and answered him: "My parents have abandoned me, but I have not abandoned myself." At that time, we quickly secretly dated, just like an old love story. He is very handsome, I am also very lovely. The little sun saves the gloomy teenager. Sunflowers find their sun. The two gradually tried to forget the pain from their biological families and live a happy life. In the dream, I was in my mid-forties standing from a third-person perspective, looking at myself at fifteen years old. That's when I realized how fake that girl was. Because I was never a little sun. I am that sunflower. On the outside, bright and cheerful, but the most gloomy person ever has actually always been me. After my parents divorced and they remarried, I had nowhere else to go, so from high school I started desperately clinging to Thieu Kham. I want to stand under the sun to find warmth. I wanted to grab everyone next to me, grab every floating log to support myself. You're not much better than me, but your mother loves you very much. It's just that she had such a strong desire to control that he felt like he couldn't breathe during puberty. On the contrary, it also helped me have a good mother-in-law and a new mother. Sure enough, the second day after we signed the divorce papers, my new mother called. "Hello! Are you playing cards? We're missing someone!"04
