Chapter 1642 Wishful thinking
Who would have known that within a few years, the people that Qiao Nan thought would no longer have any relationship with him, one by one, had problems. Fang Shiyou and Xu Shengnan’s life after their divorce was probably like this. Ever since Fang Shiyou went back to find Xu Shengnan to reconcile, that “comrade-in-arms” had put a complete set of information in front of Xu Shengnan.
Xu Shengnan knew about it, which meant Qiao Nan knew about it. It’s easy to imagine how Fang Shiyou and Xu Shengnan’s life was after their divorce. It was definitely not comparable to when he was with Xu Shengnan.
Fang Shiyou would occasionally complain that Xu Shengnan was not considerate enough because she was too focused on her career and didn’t care about her like an ordinary woman cared about her husband. But Fang Shiyou knows better that if Xu Shengnan hadn't worked so hard, who would pay off the mortgage for the house they live in now?
It is because Xu Shengnan is the one who pays the mortgage that he can put all his salary in his pocket and spend it however he wants. He doesn't have to pay most of his salary like other colleagues every time he gets paid, making himself miserable.
It's just that people always think twice. He knows that Xu Shengnan is many times better than his colleagues' wives, but he still thinks it's not enough.
But when the two really divorced and separated, Fang Shiyou, after being with his "true love", would think of Xu Shengnan's goodness from time to time, and compare the present life with the past life.
Without Xu Shengnan, a capable and wise wife, Fang Shiyou's monthly salary was not enough. He was so tight on money that it was the first time Fang Shiyou realized that he could be so short of money. More importantly, he realized that when he was short of money, his life would be so difficult.
For example, Fang Shiyou didn't dare to attend the occasional gatherings of colleagues. No matter if it was a AA system or someone else invited him, Fang Shiyou didn't dare to go. If it was an AA system, Fang Shiyou couldn't afford it. Usually, the meals ordered at such gatherings were not cheap. A meal would cost two or three hundred yuan.
As for others treating you, don't be naive. How can you not pay back for the food you eat?
The so-called treat is just you treat today, I treat tomorrow, and no one will suffer a loss.
Before he divorced Xu Shengnan, Fang Shiyou loved to attend such dinners. Every time he went, no matter if it was A or the other party who invited him, Fang Shiyou never refused. He would do whatever others said. At that time, many people envied Fang Shiyou for being lucky enough to marry such a virtuous wife, and they didn't care how Fang Shiyou spent money.
They were not like them, and their lives were not so comfortable. As a man with a family and children, Fang Shiyou was the one who lived the most comfortably. Everyone has a few times when they don't attend such dinners, but Fang Shiyou is the only one who always attends them.
At that time, Fang Shiyou enjoyed the envious gazes of many people. After he divorced Xu Shengnan, he had to shoulder the burden of the whole family like other men. When he refused dinner parties again and again, many people looked at Fang Shiyou with strange or even schadenfreude.
He had a good life, but he had to break up a good family for a woman, and let his life go back 50 years. Is it interesting? Fang Shiyou has a big hole in his brain, right?
When Fang Shiyou's wife was Xu Shengnan, Fang Shiyou not only attended every dinner party, but also dressed well every day. Now Fang Shiyou's wife has changed, and then look at it again. Not only is he sloppy, he hasn't bought any new clothes this year, has he?
How many people are really jealous of Fang Shiyou for marrying a wife as good as Xu Shengnan? When they heard that Fang Shiyou had a mistress and Xu Shengnan found out, they divorced. These people secretly applauded and shouted that it was a great relief.
Fang Shiyou is not as educated as me, not as good-looking as me, and not as tall as me. How could such a man who is inferior to me in every way marry a wife who is extremely outstanding in every way? Fortunately, the chaos was rectified in time.
To sum up, without Xu Shengnan as his wife,
Fang Shiyou's treatment among his colleagues has plummeted. In the past, many people approached him, and now many people deliberately laugh at Fang Shiyou every day. Fang Shiyou used to have a lot of face, but now, all of his face has been trampled underfoot. For a man, nothing is more important than face. Based
on this alone, Fang Shiyou has enough reason to regret giving up Xu Shengnan, who could make him infinitely face, for the sake of "true love". In addition, due to the financial difficulties, Fang Shiyou can still endure and endure for the sake of his son in the short term.
It is said that poor couples mourn for a hundred days. After a long time, Fang Shiyou even had second thoughts about Xu Shengnan, such a good woman. And this "true love" that Fang Shiyou found, except that she was pregnant with a child who might be his son, was not as good as Xu Shengnan in almost everything else. Even her face was not as pretty as Xu Shengnan's.
As for the ability to make money, "True Love" is incomparable to Xu Shengnan. After Xu Shengnan bought a house for her own family, she also took on the mortgage for her husband's house. If "True Love" also had such ability, how could she find Fang Shiyou, who already had a wife and children? After divorcing
Xu Shengnan, the Fang family's finances were not just a little tight. Without Xu Shengnan's salary, the Fang family's monthly living expenses were greatly reduced to less than one-third of the original.
Thanks to Fang Shiyou's provident fund, otherwise, the Fang family would not even be able to spend one-third of the original living expenses.
Now, not only Fang Shiyou couldn't stand it, but Fang Shiyou's mother couldn't help it and jumped up and cried: "No matter how difficult life was in the past, when I was with your father, it was never so hard. Shiyou, the baby hasn't been born yet. When the baby is born, milk powder, diapers, which one is free? Children's things are much more expensive than adults'. By then, we have three adults in our family, do we need to stop eating and just feed one child?"
Fang's mother really couldn't imagine what the family situation would be like after the baby in the new daughter-in-law's belly was born, and how bad it would be.
