Chapter 213
Xiao Xu and Duan Fengming are boyfriend and girlfriend, but Xiao Xu has a wife in the countryside, but this is also a common thing.
Those arranged by their parents obeyed their parents' orders and remained at home to serve them. However, as modern people, they naturally wanted to break away from feudal arranged marriages and pursue free love, loving for the sake of free love. Often, the woman didn't care, thinking that a wife and children in the countryside were simply not presentable. They could just divorce and stay in the countryside. If those in high positions had already set an example, why couldn't they follow suit?
Duan Fengming also knew that Xiao Xu had a wife in the countryside. She had originally been settling for Xiao Xu as her second best, and Xiao Xu was in love just for the sake of love. No one had said that they had to get married.
Everyone also felt that these two people would separate sooner or later.
But this time their breakup was extremely chaotic.
Xiao Xu had recently returned to his hometown on a business trip, and a few days ago, he received a letter from his family saying that his wife was pregnant. Duan Fengming didn't care about this at first, but he couldn't help but lose his temper for the sake of face, otherwise he would seem too contemptuous.
Duan Fengming has relatives here. Sometimes when he visits his aunt's house, several cousins say, "This kind of person is unreliable. You've been dating for two years, and he still doesn't want to divorce. It's obvious that he's not sincere to you."
Duan Fengming didn't care that much about Xiao Xu, but the sisters' comments clearly suggested she wasn't attractive enough and that they were just playing with her feelings. Especially since they'd been together for two years and he'd secretly gone back to his hometown to have a child with his wife, they didn't take her seriously at all.
In order to save face in front of her sisters, what was originally a symbolic quarrel turned into a pressure for Xiao Xu to divorce.
Xiao Xu also knew that he was not the one she loved most in her heart, so his feelings did not escalate to the point of wanting to divorce for her.
The two of them started a fierce quarrel.
Duan Fengming said that they had been dating for two years, and since Xiao Xu did not intend to divorce, he was playing with her feelings, and Xiao Xu was unable to refute for a while.
One day, Wang Jiazhi arrived at his door, which was closed, and heard Xiao Xu's voice coming from inside.
She put her ear close to him and thought Lao You shouldn't be there, just him and Xiao Xu.
"Otherwise, I'll just write a letter back home saying I want a divorce. They won't agree anyway. Just say my family won't allow it, and she won't have anything to say."
"If you write something like that, your family will definitely be in an uproar. Your wife is pregnant, and even if you don't divorce her, you'll hurt her and your father-in-law's family. Your wife is pregnant, and you want to divorce her. How can you hold your head up high in your family in the future if you do such a beastly thing? Even when your child grows up, how can he not hate you as a father?"
"Then what should I do?"
"I don't think she really wants you to divorce her. She just feels that you're dating her and socializing with her wife, which is embarrassing for her. Just write her a letter asking for a divorce and don't send it."
Xiao Xu said excitedly, "Yeah, she can't find my family, how can she know if it's true or not? I just said my family wouldn't agree no matter what, and my pregnant wife tried to commit suicide and almost lost her life, isn't that all right?"
Wang Jiazhi was listening at the window, and sure enough, it was the man's method.
After Xiao Xu used this method, Duan Fengming and his relatives complained about Xiao Xu's difficulties in not being able to divorce for the time being, and as expected, they gradually stopped mentioning this matter.
But one day, Xiao Xu's letter, which was supposed to be sent, appeared in the printing press. Everyone saw it, and Duan Fengming was so ashamed that he felt like a fool.
In fact, she had thought about it, but the matter became public and there was nothing she could do for the sake of face.
So they quarreled and fought fiercely, making it impossible to have peace.
That day, at the printing place, during a lunch break, Old Xu and he sat under the window. Little Xu said, "Should I really write a letter back? My wife is still pregnant."
He said, "Just break up with me and this matter will be over."
"How can that be? What kind of person do I have to be? It's like I've abandoned her after having sex with her."
"Isn't it?"
"I……"
He said, "Don't worry, she just wants to save face. You can lower her expectations. Just lower her expectations to a level you can handle. If you want to break up with her now, she's afraid people will say she's not attractive enough. You'd rather choose the wife from your hometown than her. She definitely doesn't want to break up right away. That way, the issue of you filing for divorce can be replaced by the issue of getting back together."
"That seems to make sense."
Wang Jiazhi stood at the window inside and listened to their whispers.
I thought to myself that Xiao Xu has been having someone else for two years, and when something happened he actually had to find a single person to give him advice.
He really knows how to deceive women!
Then I thought, maybe he just doesn’t have it now.
As expected, his "expectation downgrade" theory was successful. Duan Fengming and Xiao Xu really calmed down, and everything returned to normal.
