Bailiang County.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Zhou Limei and her current husband went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures.

However, the current marriage law does not allow you to divorce on the spot if you want to. There is also a one-month cooling-off period, and one month must pass after submitting a divorce application before the actual divorce procedures can be carried out.

The reason why Zhou Limei and Zhu Liang were able to divorce so easily was because their marriage had been lingering on the edge of divorce for a long time. They went to the Civil Affairs Bureau at least several times before actually getting divorced, but after submitting their applications, they resisted the urge to divorce after a one-month cooling-off period.

After the one-month cooling-off period, if the two do not divorce, the marriage relationship will return to the starting point after one month. If they want to divorce again next time, they have to submit a divorce application again.

At the beginning, Zhou Limei and Zhu Liang submitted divorce applications three times. After a one-month cooling-off period, they did not divorce for various reasons the first two times. However, as the saying goes, three times is enough, and they finally divorced the third time!

This is why the two of them can divorce at will.

After submitting her divorce application at the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhou Limei took the clothes she bought for her son yesterday and took a bus to her ex-husband's house.

After being beaten up by her current husband the night before, she finally realized how good her ex-husband was. This time, she wanted to go see her children and see how her ex-husband was doing.

If possible, she would like to return to this home, change her temper, live a good life with her ex-husband, and stop thinking about those unrealistic things.

After experiencing her second marriage, Zhou Limei suddenly realized that the ordinary life she had before was actually quite good, and there was no need to pursue a colorful life.

The county town is about forty kilometers away from her ex-husband's home. Because the bus was taking the secondary road, and people got on and off the bus in every town it passed, it took Zhou Limei more than forty minutes to reach Qingshan Street.

Qingshan Street is not far from Zhujia Village where my ex-husband's home is located. It only takes a few minutes to get there by motorcycle.

When Zhou Limei returned to her familiar ex-husband's home, she felt much more comfortable than returning to her new home in the county town. After paying the fare, she walked into the home where she had lived for several years with familiarity.

After entering the door, Zhou Limei saw a woman sitting in the living room picking vegetables, and her heart sank.

…

Ding Yaping is very satisfied with her current life.

Although her husband Zhu Liang is not a handsome man or a rich man, he has a heart that cares for her and has been very good to her in the past month since they got married.

Now, the couple are united in purpose and their life is prosperous, which is the envy of others.

Because of her happy and fulfilling life, Ding Yaping looks radiant and her spirit is different from before. She feels several years younger.

Today, Ding Yaping is picking vegetables to prepare lunch.

Normally, they don’t cook lunch separately. They basically drink the heat-clearing porridge with pickles cooked in the morning, and occasionally have noodles or something. They only cook delicious food for dinner.

However, Ding Yaping knew that her husband would be back for lunch today, so she specially prepared two dishes so that her husband could eat better.

Just as Ding Yaping was sitting in the living room picking vegetables, she suddenly saw a strange woman walking into their house without even saying hello. She frowned slightly and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm here to look for Zhu Liang. May I ask who you are?"

While speaking, Zhou Limei secretly looked at the other person.

She found that the other person seemed to be about the same age as her, and his appearance was similar to hers. Although she didn't want to admit it, Zhou Limei knew that his figure was better than hers, at least his breasts were bigger than hers.

At this time, Ding Yaping also vaguely guessed the other party's identity, and quickly put the dishes in her hand into the basket, stood up and said: "Oh, you are here to look for my husband, he is not at home now, what do you want to see him for? If it's urgent, I will call him to come back!"

Zhou Limei felt a sudden pain in her heart when she heard this.

Although she had a vague idea of ​​the woman's identity when she saw her at the door, it was just a guess after all. Who knew if it was a misunderstanding!

Now that I heard the other party admit it himself, it seems almost certain.

I didn’t expect that he would get married so soon!

At this moment, Zhou Limei knew that her hope of returning to this home was gone!

Zhou Limei tried hard to force a smile and said, "So you are his new wife. I am his ex-wife. You should know me, right?"

Ding Yaping had guessed it in her mind, so she was not surprised to hear that. She just said politely, "Well, I know you. Are you here to see Hu Zi? Today is Qingshan Market. His grandmother took him to the market. He probably won't be back until noon."

At this time, Zhou Limei was a little embarrassed. When she came, she really didn't expect that Zhu Liang would marry again so soon. After all, in the countryside of this era, it was easy for women to get married, but it was not so easy for men to get married.

What's more, Zhu Liang is married for the second time and has a child, so it is more than ten times harder for him to find a wife than when he married her before.

This is also the reason why she took the bus back without asking.

But what she never expected was that it was not as difficult for Zhu Liang to get married as she had imagined. Just over a month after his divorce, he found a wife who seemed to be no worse than her in every way.

This put her in a difficult position!

Zhou Limei could only put the bag of her son's clothes on the table and said awkwardly: "These are the clothes I bought for Hu Zi. Since he is not at home, I will go to the street to find him!"

Ding Yaping said: "It's a rare opportunity for you to come here, why don't you stay and have a meal before leaving!"

Zhou Limei refused and said, "I understand. You don't have to eat. I'll go to the street to see Hu Zi and then leave!"

Seeing this, Ding Yaping stopped trying to persuade him to stay and said, "Do you still have his grandmother's phone number?"

Zhou Limei nodded and said, "Yes, I will leave first. I hope you will take care of Huzi!"

Ding Yaping hummed and said, "Don't worry, I will take care of Huzi like my own son!"

"Thank you, I'm leaving now, bye!"

"Goodbye!"

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Limei met her son in a toy store on Qingshan Street.

The scene of meeting my ex-mother-in-law was also somewhat awkward.

After all, Zhou Limei was indeed a troublemaker before she divorced Zhu Liang, and no one in the Zhu family could get along with her. This was also the reason why Zhu Liang chose to divorce her and all his relatives agreed.

Zhou Limei spent only a dozen minutes with her son before she left because she couldn't stand her ex-mother-in-law's wary look.

When boarding the bus back to the county town, Zhou Limei couldn't help feeling sad.

She understood that she would never be able to return to Zhujia Village, the home she once despised so much!

Zhou Limei touched her still aching face, and a tear slipped down unconsciously...
