Chapter 5 — Sincere Feelings Are Considered Cheap by Others
Having finished speaking, I bypassed him and went straight to the food market. Finding Uncle Ly, I offered to go with him to buy pigs in the countryside.
"Why are you collecting pigs today? Aren't you worried about keeping the counter?"
I smiled bitterly and told him about the sealed counter and the whole mess with Trieu Chi Kiet. Uncle Ly was angry on my behalf and scolded Trieu Chi Kiet a few words:
"I told you, that guy is not a good person! I suffered for three years because of him, but in the end I got nothing!"
I bowed my head and obediently listened to him ramble. Actually, before, Uncle Ly wanted to be a matchmaker for me. But I chose Trieu Chi Kiet... After preparing everything, I got in the car, only to realize that Trieu Chi Kiet appeared at the market again. He seemed timid and hesitantly asked me:
“Yeu Yeu, where are you going?”
I smiled faintly, without any emotion:
"Of course I go to buy pigs. An ordinary person like me, with no money, no rights, if I don't make money, how can I live?"
Trieu Chi Kiet quickly rushed forward and tried to hold my hand, but I raised my hand to stop him. He could only say helplessly:
“Yeu Yeu, you don't need to work, I can take care of you!”
When I heard this, I couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
"General Manager Trieu, just keep your money to take care of 'the person in your heart', I won't be happy."

After speaking, I pushed him hard and signaled Uncle Ly to start the car. Through the rearview mirror, I saw Trieu Chi Kiet panicking after my car, but tripped and rolled twice on the ground, looking extremely pathetic. Uncle Ly also saw it and curiously asked me:
“He's the one with the money, do you really want to let it go?”
I smiled faintly and did not answer. Yes, he is a man with money. But it's not like someone with money is willing to spend money on me. From the first day he deceived me, he and I were not on the same page. For the next month, Uncle Ly and I went everywhere buying pigs, busy every day from morning to night. Although Trieu Chi Kiet often waits in front of my house, we rarely see each other. The last time I saw him... was when we went to the civil affairs department to sign the divorce papers. He walked slowly along the road, his voice so soft that it almost melted into the wind:
“Can we… not get divorced?”
At that time, I was calculating how much money I needed to start a pig raising business, so I didn't hear clearly, so I asked again:
“Huh? What did you just say?”
Trieu Chi Kiet's face immediately became gloomy, the last light in his eyes also disappeared. Before, every word he said I took to heart. And now, he is no longer important to me. After leaving the civil affairs department, Trieu Chi Kiet called me back, his eyes empty.
“Love Love…”
I turned my head, my tone was distant:
"Mr. Trieu, please call me by my full name, lest people misunderstand."
He was stunned for a long time. Seeing that I was about to leave, he spoke:
"Co Yeu Yeu, you... do you really hate me? You hate me for lying to you for three years? So you can't forgive me?"
I didn't expect that at this point, he would still ask me this question. I pondered for a moment, then replied:
"Probably not enough to hate."
Trieu Chi Kiet's face immediately lit up. But before his smile could bloom, I continued:
“But it's also impossible to forgive Okay. We are not suitable to be husband and wife. Now we're breaking up, everyone lives their own life, that's for the best!
After saying that, I turned around and left quickly. Uncle Ly is still waiting for me to go buy pigs in the countryside. Behind me, a painful cry rang out. Trieu Chi Kiet choked up and said:
"It was me who was wrong, it was me who betrayed you..."
Only after losing Co Yeu Yeu did he realize the harsh truth: Only she... Only Co Yeu Yeu was willing to stay by his side when he was empty-handed, devoting all her strength for him. As for the others... Just a bunch of money-grubbing people!
“But you have to believe me! Since the day we got married, I have never thought about divorce!”
I smiled coldly. Before, I was always on guard. Why are you acting so in love now? Humans... are truly not as simple as a pig. Fortunately, thanks to Uncle Ly, I learned how to recognize good or bad pigs, and how to raise pigs to grow quickly. With just one look, I can tell if this pig is raised with clean food. Soon, I officially mastered the profession under the guidance of Uncle Ly. To avoid being harassed by Trieu Chi Kiet, I sold my old house, used all the money I had to start a pig purchasing business, and even built a small livestock farm. When my job started to stabilize, I became a pork supplier to many large food markets in the city. At that time, Uncle Ly told me a rumor: After the divorce, Trieu Chi Kiet married Ky Thien Thien. But unfortunately, Ky Thien Thien's life after marriage is not happy. It is rumored that Trieu Chi Kiet hates her to the core. He always thought that, if it wasn't for that video, he and I wouldn't have divorced. Every time he got drunk, he would vent all his anger on Ky Thien Thien, beating and scolding her severely. One day, Uncle Ly mysteriously asked me:
“Yeu Yeu, I have a distant cousin, handsome, decent, and a teacher. You two are very compatible, do you want to meet each other?"
At first, I wasn't interested in these things. But it's hard to refuse Uncle Ly's enthusiasm. The day we met, I happened to encounter Trieu Chi Kiet. He was much more emaciated than before. Seeing me, he tried to suppress his emotions:
"Long time no see, are you here to eat too?"
I didn't answer, but looked at the man standing behind him, smiled and said:
“Hello, I'm the person who was scheduled to go on a blind date with you. My name is Co Yeu Yeu.”
The man opposite smiled and replied:
"Hello, I'm Ly Phong, a middle school teacher."
As soon as I finished speaking, I raised my head... Trieu Chi Kiet's figure had disappeared. That same day, there was news that a luxury villa in the city had burned down. It is said that a woman could not stand the abuse and set herself on fire. Later, when I went to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up, I accidentally met a man whose whole body was covered in burns and was bedridden. His eyes were filled with pain and torment, as if he wanted to say something to me. It seems… I know who he is. Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out next to me:
“Wife, why are you here? I told you to wait in the room, I'll go get the medicine and then come back, right?"
I turned my head and smiled:
"The room is so stuffy, I'm going out to get some fresh air."
Things that have passed... Now, for me, doesn't matter anymore. Only the future ahead is the most cherishable thing. End
