Chapter 2 — Seven Years of Marriage

His mother was also very happy when we got together. So, as soon as we graduated, we rushed to register our marriage. Three years after getting married, I gave birth to the crystallization of our love. Actually, married life is not always peaceful. We also argued many times for all kinds of reasons. He always listens to his mother. Every time my mother-in-law and I have a conflict, he always takes her side, making me so angry that I cry, and I have to wait until night before he comes to comfort me. Of course, I always believe that our love has not changed, it's just that from intense to calm. But isn't life about peace? Over the past few years, thanks to having children, the relationship between me and my mother-in-law has gradually improved. But now, looking at Tong Dich sitting quietly on the sofa, ha, when I thought that life was gradually getting better, he gave me a painful blow that numbed me... 3. 4. One cigarette after another, the corners of Tong Dich's eyes were bloodshot. I gently asked him: "Do you want a divorce?" "No... I don't want..." Tong Dich softly begged me. I sighed, my eyes became uncertain: "Why, Tong Dich? Give me a reason. It's ridiculous." He clenched his fists, his eyes were red, laughing and crying at the same time, pulling his lips up into a forced smile: "Tieu Nhu, I'm so tired. Do you know? I feel so useless, my family, everything about me makes me always feel like a failure before you. That girl just graduated from college, works at Your company, your subordinate. She always looked at you with admiration... You... you seemed to see the old me... and then you fell..." "Ha? Is that funny? Tong Dich, are you still ashamed? "I couldn't help but fall. He quickly picked up a tissue and gently wiped my tears. "Sorry, it's all my fault. I beg your forgiveness, just this once, Tieu Nhu!" His voice was full of pain. I smiled sarcastically: "Forgive you? If I forgive you, then what about that girl? What are you going to do with her? Abandon her?"Tong Dich hesitated for a moment, then made up his mind: "I will cut off with her! Sure!" "No need, you really make me feel disgusting."For the first time, I looked at him from head to toe with contempt. Under my critical gaze, he bowed his head in shame. "Divorce, the children belong to me. If the property belongs to me, give it to me. If it's not mine, I don't need it." Ignoring Tong Dich's pleading eyes, I coldly spoke. "You know, I can't stand betrayal." Tong Dich bowed his head, covering his face as if crying in despair. Yes, how did we become like this? Tong Dich went from being empty-handed to having a successful career. I was by his side carefully, every step of the way with him, but the ending ended up like this. I smiled bitterly, men with money will change their hearts, I really can't wait any longer. The next day, facing my determination, Tong Dich quietly took me to the civil affairs department. Divorce has a one-month mediation period, but to me that is no longer important. After returning from the civil affairs department, I packed my things and coaxed my children to leave the house. Tong Dich stood there, staring at me and the child: "Do you really want to go?" "If I don't go, how can I make room for your little lover?" I smiled sarcastically. He turned pale and watched me and my child leave the door. This house is Tong Dich's property. He insisted on leaving it to me, but I felt disgusted so I refused to accept it. Other assets such as cash, cars and real estate are all divided among me, and I myself am not short of money. After moving to a new house for more than a month, I and

I gradually get used to life here. I made an appointment with Tong Dich that he would visit my child once a week. When my parents found out, they shamelessly scolded Tong Dich and wanted to punish him. I stopped them, now I don't want anything to do with him anymore. So my mother began to come up with another idea. She introduced me to a date twice every three days, leaving me at a loss as to what to do. I refused many times, but one time she got angry. Her eyes were red and she looked at me with sadness: "Are you going to live like that for the rest of your life? Would my beautiful daughter be destroyed like this by that cruel person?" I know, my mother loves me very much. I couldn't answer, my heart sank every time. Therefore, I agreed to participate in this date. It's just that I deliberately don't wear makeup or fancy clothes, appearing simply. What surprised me was that my date was not a bald middle-aged uncle, but a young man who looked the same age as me. He has bright eyes and a gentle smile looking at me. Looking at him dressed neatly, I felt a bit shy. However, I had no intention of going too far with him. "Hello, I'm the person introduced by Mrs. Ly. My name is Doan Dung, thirty years old this year." Oh my god, I really can't tell he's thirty. I smiled lightly and introduced myself. "Hello, I am Mrs. Ly's daughter. My name is Ly Nhu, twenty-nine this year. But I wonder if you know about my condition?" He raised his eyebrows and signaled me to continue speaking. "I'm divorced, and have a four-year-old son." I calmly admitted that this situation of mine often makes it difficult for people to know. 4. 5. The other person smiled and said: "I know everything. I don't mind." I opened my eyes wide in surprise, looking at him in disbelief. "Hey hey, don't look at me like that." He smiled bitterly, "Actually, I was divorced once. My ex-wife and I lived apart for many years, and in the end she had an affair. But we don't have children." He calmly told the secret that could be considered an insult to men. I didn't know what to say for a moment, should I comfort him? He noticed my confusion, his eyes curved, but instead comforted me: "It's okay, it's over. People have to live for the present." I was stunned, he was so understanding. So we started talking about family and marriage perspectives. Unexpectedly, the more I talked, the more compatible I became. I was surprised to realize that our views on life were very similar. This dinner date ended in joy and satisfaction for both. I think that, even if we can't become lovers, we can still be very good friends. I told him my thoughts, he looked at me, smiled gently, but said nothing. When leaving the cafe, he politely offered to take me home. I also won't refuse your kindness. Unexpectedly, as soon as I stepped out of the shop door, I immediately met the person I didn't want to meet the most. As Tong Dich, he looked much thinner and quietly said nothing. The person holding his arm was Ms. "Thanh Thanh" that I met at the shopping center. What a chaotic situation. He also saw me, seemingly unable to believe that there was another man next to me, quickly running over: "Tieu Nhu, who is he?" I looked at him with disappointed eyes, said nothing, but Doan Dung spoke first: "I'm her boyfriend." The other lover also stepped closer, looking at me with a challenge: "Maybe everyone should find their own happiness, staying together with people who are not compatible is just a waste of effort, right?" Tong Dich turned pale, not knowing what he was thinking, but he did not refute her words. I looked at Tong Dich, my heart still hurt

painful. Ten years of love, how can it be easy to say forget is forget. At this time, Vuong Thanh Thanh spoke again: "Dear, didn't mother urge us to get married last time? She also wants to drink our celebratory wine." My whole body is cold, ha, my good mother-in-law. When Tong Dich and I were not divorced, I tried to please her so that I could enter the house, and after getting married, I was still filial to her. This mother-daughter pair is truly disgusting. At this time, Tong Dich lost patience and shouted at her in a low voice: "Stop talking!" Vuong Thanh Thanh immediately expressed self-pity:
