He had suffered and hesitated, but he gritted his teeth and persevered. Why were there still people who wouldn't let him go?
His coworkers, seeing that he was drinking too heavily, tried to dissuade him.
"Don't be so bold. So much time has passed, don't dwell on it."
"That's right! Out with the old, in with the new. We'll find a better wife later."
"With a monthly salary of a hundred yuan, finding a wife is easy. I'll arrange for someone to introduce you to someone tomorrow."
Lu Dadan raised his hand: "If you're a brother, drink with me to the bitter end today. I want to have a good drink."
The three of them exchanged glances, then picked up the wine bottles on the table and began pouring wine.
The four of them started drinking heartily, as if the alcohol was free, and soon a pile of bottles were laid out on the ground.
Qiao Xiaoni shook her head helplessly as she watched them drink until they were all drunk. Some things were beyond her control.
Since they weren't very familiar with each other, and besides, they were a group of men, it wasn't appropriate for her to say anything.
Su Chenhao saw the last guest off, and then put all the remaining food on a plate and brought it to their table.
"These are free food and drinks, so please don't drink anymore. What if something happens if you drink too much?"
Lu Dadan was in a daze, feeling a lot of emotions. He held his head and said, "I feel like I've lived my whole life in a daze. I had everything planned out, but nothing went as I expected."
"Some things are not your fault. Don't take all the blame on yourself. Let bygones be bygones."
How can one know the value of happiness without experiencing hardship? Su Chenhao picked up the wine bottle next to him and put it on the ground, noticing that the other three people were also drunk and bleary-eyed.
"That's enough, you should all go home! If you keep drinking, you'll be lying on the ground."
The three men readily accepted their fate and left without waiting for Lu Dadan's reply, their arms around each other's shoulders.
Seeing that they had all left, Lu Dadan lost his appetite and picked up a freshly grilled meat skewer from the plate to eat.
"Eating meat is better. Eating meat makes me free from worries, and I don't want to think about upsetting things anymore."
Su Chenhao sat on the stool next to him: "Can you tell me what happened? It's better to talk about things than to keep them to yourself. I don't know you that well, so don't worry, I won't laugh at you."
Just treat me as a listener and tell me what you're saying.
Lu Dadan was heartbroken, and he was grateful that someone was willing to listen to him. He poured out his heart, telling everyone everything that had happened since his marriage.
...
Qiao Xiaoni packed her things and sat down to listen. The weather was neither hot nor cold today. Even after it got dark, she didn't feel cold.
After hearing his story, I felt that he was a truly unfortunate person.
He sacrificed so much for his wife, only to be betrayed in the end. It's a real shame that a good man met a scumbag woman.
In this day and age, there are too few men who are willing to endure hardship and take care of housework. Everyone is busy making a living and basically goes out at sunset and rests at sunset.
After listening to his story, Su Chenhao patted him on the shoulder: "It's all in the past. We men should have a broad mind. Once someone leaves, we should let go and not dwell on it anymore."
The future is long, and happiness awaits you ahead.
Lu Dadan sighed: "I've thought a lot about this during this time, and the fact that things turned out this way can only be attributed to each of us being half responsible."
If I hadn't worked so hard to earn money back then, maybe none of this would have happened. What's done is done; I don't hate her.
