Chapter 1 — There is no fake divorce in this world

For the last meal before the divorce, my husband ordered seaweed soup with luffa, which I hate the most. Seeing that I had skipped the soup, Giang Duc Bach raised his head and looked at me: "The combined rice meal costs 9.9 yuan and is included as a free gift." "I don't even have money to buy diapers and milk for the baby. If we can save, then just save and stop acting like a rich young lady like before." After Jiang Duat Bach went bankrupt, every day I set an alarm and went to the supermarket to buy discounted meat and vegetables. Until yesterday, I saw him taking his childhood friend to the fresh food section to buy king crab. In the moment I was stunned, the last piece of discounted meat in front of me was taken by someone else. The two of them talked and laughed, adding several large crates of cherries to the cart. At the payment counter, Giang Duat Bach stopped Tham Nghi Ninh who was about to return the money: "You just returned home, no matter what, I have to invite you." Looking at his generous payment, I suddenly didn't know how to imagine this marriage. It turns out that the problem of his company's broken capital chain has been resolved a long time ago. So these past few days, when I was worried because my baby's milk and diapers were about to run out, when I couldn't sleep all night because the company kept owing me salary, what were you thinking? In that moment, I put all the vegetables and meat in the shopping basket back. When I regained consciousness, the figures of the two of them had disappeared from sight. A salesperson suddenly walked over and asked softly: "Miss, are you okay? Is there anything uncomfortable in your body? Your face doesn't look very good..." I stiffened, only to realize that my cheeks were wet. I quickly turned around and wiped my tears. After that, I forced a smile: "It's okay, maybe I just have low blood sugar. Thank you." The salesperson understood, nodded, and was called away by another customer. I put all the vegetables and meat in the shopping basket back. During the few months of not being paid, I was afraid that Jiang Duat Bach would work continuously at the company, not being provided with enough nutrition, and his body would not be able to bear it. Therefore, no matter how frugal I am, I still have to make sure that his three meals contain meat, vegetables, and adequate nutrition. But I couldn't have guessed it. While I calculated every penny for him and my children, he didn't blink once when paying a large sum of money to someone else. After returning home, I did not hesitate and immediately found a lawyer to advise on divorce. In the evening, I was making milk for my baby. There was a "click" sound outside the door, Giang Duat Bach had returned. I quietly comforted my child in the bedroom, not going to the door to greet him like before. He also didn't go into the bedroom but went straight to the kitchen. He opened the pot, then searched the refrigerator again. After confirming there was no food, he frowned and entered the room. "Aren't you going to cook?" I held the child, bowed my head and didn't look at him. "Yes, I don't have money to buy food." It seemed like he just remembered that I wasn't paid. He took a hundred yuan out of his pocket and placed it on the table. Looking at those hundred yuan, I suddenly remembered the emperor's coins they had bought. How much does one cost? One thousand or two thousand? And those boxes of cherries, how much is each box? Is this one hundred yuan equal to the odd amount of money they spend tonight? I felt extremely ridiculous, but mostly I was laughing at my own stupidity. But it wasn't until now that I discovered it. As soon as Giang Duat Bach turned around to leave, I called him back. "My diapers and milk are about to run out, please buy some." Giang Duat Bach replied to the message on the phone, nodding through the loudspeaker. "I know." But a few days in a row passed, and every day he returned with empty hands. The day my child's milk box ran out, I couldn't hold back

okay again. Amid my child's cries of hunger, I threw a carton of milk at him. "Didn't you tell me you already knew? I've been saying for how many days, where is the milk?" Giang Duat Bach coldly looked at me, impatience flashed in his eyes. "What are you making a fuss about? I'm just too busy so I forgot, it's not my intention." The phone vibrated, a message appeared. He took a look and sighed. "Don't rush, I'll go out and buy it right away." Half an hour after Giang Duat Bach went out, there was still no news. I couldn't say what I was feeling clearly, it seemed like this was already in my expectations. It wasn't until I called and urged him countless times that he answered like an alms: 【Ordered delivery.】 Another half hour. The delivery man knocked on my door. The milk you bought has arrived. But that's powdered milk for adults. I was so angry that my whole body was shaking, and the last ray of light in my heart was completely extinguished. I asked several times among the apartment complex's residents, and finally found a child drinking the same type of milk. Just when I didn't have money to exchange milk with someone and was forced to use the ring as collateral, Giang Duat Bach's childhood friend posted a new post on her personal page. 【I just looked at this bag that he bought for me. This bag costs two hundred thousand yuan! Really, spending money so haphazardly～】 In the attached photo, Giang Duat Bach is taking the card and giving it to the clerk. My heart felt like it was being stabbed by a needle, my whole body felt a dull, dense pain. After seeing the divorce agreement sent by the lawyer, I texted my parents with trembling hands: "I'm ready for a divorce."2 "Okay, my parents will come pick me up." Seeing my mother's answer, my eyes immediately stung. She didn't ask me why, nor did she advise me to think more about it for my child's sake. Just that one sentence gave me an infinite sense of security. But my family is in another province, not only did I get married far away, but I also married into a more wealthy family. Parents running a trip will be very tired. As soon as I texted my parents that I could handle it myself, Giang Duat Bach led Tham Nghi Ninh into the house one after another. When I raised my head to look at him, my eyes were unconsciously attracted to the bag in Tham Nghi Ninh's hand. Two hundred thousand yuan. How much milk and diapers can I buy for my child? I can't count. Seeing my red eyes, Giang Duat Bach slightly raised his eyebrows. "What's wrong?" My eyes stopped for a long time on that bag. I didn't want to answer him, and didn't know how to express it. "Do you like this bag too?" Tham Nghi Ninh noticed my eyes, raised her hand to stroke the bag she was carrying, and gently punched Giang Duat Bach on the body. "You're also serious, when you bought the bag for me, why didn't you think of her a bit?" She looked hesitant, and finally gritted her teeth and brought the bag in front of me. "If you like it too, then the bag This bag was given to you." Giang Duat Bach frowned slightly and pulled her hand back. "If I bought it for you, just keep it. She won't use it." While speaking, Giang Duat Bach looked at me from top to bottom, a look of disgust appearing in his eyes. I followed his gaze, bowed my head and observed myself. From head to toe, no item exceeds a hundred yuan. It's really not worth this bag of two hundred thousand yuan. But I'm dressed like that, isn't it because before Tet you said the company's capital chain was broken and could not be turned around? In addition to the fact that my company did not pay salaries for several months, I was forced to sell off clothes and jewelry to maintain family living. Giang Duat Bach pulled me up from the ground and led me into the bedroom. He took out a delicate box from his pocket and stuffed it into my hand. I was stunned. The exterior design of

This box belongs to a piece of jewelry that I once really wanted. Could it be that you also bought something for me today? My hand holding the jewelry box turned white. I tried to suppress the bitterness in my heart and opened the box, but immediately froze in place. Inside was the ring I had given in exchange for milk. Jiang Duat Bach looked at me with a reproachful look. "What do you want to do? I already bought you milk, you still take this in exchange!" Do you still have the face to mention milk? I turned around, placed the box of adult milk he bought in front of him, my voice trembling: "Are you telling me to let my child drink this?" Giang Duat Bach picked up the box of milk and looked it over. "Isn't that okay? Isn't this..." When he saw the words "adult" stand out so prominently, his words immediately fell silent. Giang Duat Bach lowered his eyes, his voice softened. "This is my fault." Immediately after, he took out his phone and transferred me two thousand yuan. "You said before that the diapers are almost gone, right? First, buy enough to last for a month." The bag is two hundred thousand yuan, he said buy it, buy it. But for the baby's diapers and milk, he said he would only buy enough for one month first. The already cold heart once again felt sharp pain. Looking at the two thousand yuan on the phone, I blurted out: "Giang Duat Bach, let's divorce."3 "Really? I finally think clearly!" I don't know when Tham Nghi Ninh arrived outside the door. She poked her head into the room. She warmly ran to me and took my arm. "You don't know, the price of a house in the inner city has recently dropped a little more." "At the current price, many people are competing to buy it. After the two of you divorce, you have to buy it quickly. Once you buy it, you can remarry." She covered her mouth and smiled. "Today Giang Duat Bach also told me that he didn't know how to mention this to you, afraid that you would be like last time, misunderstanding that he was serious. wanting a divorce.” Last time he mentioned this, I was still in confinement. Emotions are greatly influenced by hormones. As soon as he opened his mouth, I had an argument with him. But now my heart is dead, I really want a divorce. Giang Duat Bach's throat moved. He turned his head to look at me. It seemed like he was thinking about whether what I just said was about the house or not. However, this change is somewhat sudden. Just now we absolutely did not mention anything related to the house. Giang Duat Bach looked at me and calmly asked: "Tan Giai Nhuan, do you really agree? Isn't it because I only gave you two thousand yuan that you're angry?" It turns out he also knew that two thousand yuan was a little. I thought you didn't know the real life of ordinary people. But now I'm tired and lazy to continue arguing with him. I calmly nodded. "Yes, I agree." A smile appeared on Giang Dua Bach's face. "Okay, then I will ask someone to draw up a divorce agreement. Tomorrow we will register." "At that time, the house and car will be temporarily transferred to your name..." Tham Nghi Ninh coughed softly twice, interrupting him. "Transferring assets back and forth is too troublesome. Letting her take the child and leave empty-handed will be easier to do." Hearing that, Giang Duat Bach take a look at me. Seeing that there was no extra wavering expression on my face, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, then it's decided." Tham Nghi Ninh smiled, pretending to just now realize something, then explained: "Sister, although I advise you two to divorce, I really have no other intention." She hugged my shoulder, raised the hand holding the two hundred thousand yuan bag, and patted her chest assuringly:
