Chapter 520 Trivial Days

In the following days, screams were still heard in He Tonglin's house every day, followed by chaos, and then the sound of the couple quarreling.

"Oh my God, what is going on? How can we live our lives?" Rong Liwen screamed and jumped onto the bed, her face pale with fear.

"There is a heater in the room. Insects like warm places. It's not surprising to have these things. Just clean them up."

He Tonglin looked at the cockroaches and multi-legged insects crawling on the ground, comforting them while looking at his wife in confusion.

"Did you put something in there that shouldn't have been there, and it attracted the insects? Otherwise, why would there be so many snakes, insects, rats and ants in such a cold weather?"

"You ask me, and I want to ask you, is it your precious son's fault? He has been acting weird for a long time, and you've gotten used to him. You feel bad for a long time when he says something to you, and now he's even making trouble at home."

Rong Liwen glared at him and started crying.

"You are so heartless. I am so busy with housework every day that I haven't been shopping for a long time. I haven't bought many clothes this year. It's fine for me to suffer with you, but in the end, I get nothing in return. What did I want?"

He Tonglin looked at her, his forehead throbbing with pain.

"I've given you all my wages, not a single penny left. What else do you want from me? Besides, He Ning is out running around every day, so he doesn't have time to mess around. He's not a child."

Life is so fucking miserable.

I never dreamed that my life would be so chaotic.

"What do you mean? Do you think we are a burden to you? Are you thinking about your ex-wife?"

Rong Liwen looked at him with tears in her eyes. She was old, but she cried heartbrokenly.

"If you regret it, just go back to your ex-wife. My son and I would rather die of hunger than hold you back. Is that okay?"

"Listen to what you said. Your son is already so old, and you are still angry? If I wanted to abandon you, I would not divorce Wang Yu."

He Tonglin was extremely tired. He sat down on the chair next to him and rubbed his temples.

"The unit is going through some changes these days, and the positions may be reshuffled. The unit's affairs are giving me enough headaches, can you please stop causing me more trouble?"

He used to be a very considerate person, but how come he has become so boring in just a short period of time?

Rong Liwen was stunned and wiped away her tears.

"You still feel that we are a burden to you... You are so heartless. You said I was considerate, gentle and kind, so I followed you without hesitation. How long has it been since then, and you have begun to dislike me?"

"Can you please not misinterpret me? I'm tired, you know?"

He Tonglin rubbed his temple, which was throbbing, and felt a surge of powerlessness in his heart.

"The company has recently recruited a group of college students. If we, the old people, are not well prepared, we will be forced to retire. Once we retire, our salary and performance will also decrease. By then, we may even have problems making a living. Do you understand?"

"What? You're going to cut wages? How can that be? Our life is already very tight. If you cut wages further, we'll be left with nothing."

Rong Liwen wiped her tears and stopped crying.

"What should I do?"

"How should I know?" If he had a way, he wouldn't have to worry.

"Give your leader some gifts and speak well of him. With your talent, you will definitely be able to get a good position."

All of her good sisters are living smoothly, so why is it that she has such a rough life?

Rong Liwen looked at the decadent man on the chair, took a deep breath, and looked at the ground again. After making sure there were no bugs, she put on her slippers and poured him a glass of water.

"Lao He, you have to hold on. We can only rely on you. Without you, we would have to sleep on the streets."

He Tonglin was silent for a moment, then he grabbed her hand, patted it, and said soothingly,

"As long as you are well, I will definitely work hard and will never let you two go hungry. Okay, you go to sleep in your son's room today, and I will clean this place and get rid of the bugs."

As for whether he can keep his original job, he can't guarantee it.

Before he got divorced, he was not very enthusiastic about his work. Everyone in the unit knew that there was a strong woman in his family, and he was often flattered and envied.

He was very proud of himself at the time and often invited his colleagues to dinner. Of course, he paid for all the dinners.

At that time, he felt that he was popular, but after his divorce, people looked at him differently, and some of his good friends also distanced themselves from him.

Maybe some people would think he is stupid, holding a treasure chest but still not satisfied, and even daring to mess around with other women outside.

But who can understand his suffering?

Wang Yu was so busy that she could not go home every day. She finally had a meal at home, but she was asked to leave by a phone call. It was also a coincidence that he met Rong Liwen. He bumped into her accidentally after drinking too much.

After getting to know her, he found that Rong Liwen was considerate, gentle and lovely, and could understand his difficulties very well. He became close to her unknowingly.

It eventually became uncontrollable, and he was terrified at first, fearing that he would be discovered. But Wang Yu was really busy, and he had no idea that such a big thing had happened to him.

Gradually he became more and more courageous, until he finally didn't care at all until he was discovered.

Wang Yu was a man of strong character and could not tolerate any injustice. He had long understood this.

So he got a little money and, without further ado, agreed to the divorce.

Life after the divorce was fine at first, but as time went on, the trivialities of life wore him out.

Two people who once understood each other and had similar personalities could quarrel over a trivial matter.

The biggest reason was still economic. The daily necessities of the family, food, clothing, housing and transportation all required money. His salary was spent within a few days of receiving it.

For the next half month, I lived entirely on my savings.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sigh that since Wang Yu went into business, his salary has hardly touched.

Basically all expenses were paid by Wang Yu. Even when he treated people to meals, he used the money Wang Yu kept at home. He could take it at any time without reporting it.

Wang Yu never asked where his money was spent.

After his savings were exhausted, he shamelessly borrowed money from his colleagues to make ends meet. After his colleagues kindly gave him a lecture, he suddenly understood.

Ordinary people have to be thrifty in their life, but he is no longer the same as before.

After a few months of financial hardship, he suddenly felt guilty towards his ex-wife.

During this period, he visited her several times, but he had no other intentions, and he had no intention of remarrying her. He just wanted to chat with her, talk about his feelings... and apologize.
