Chapter 1635 Wishful Thinking
Who would have known that within a few years, the people whom Qiao Nan thought would no longer have any relationship with him had all had problems. What was Fang Shiyou and Xu Shengnan's life like after their divorce? Ever since Fang Shiyou went back to Xu Shengnan to get back together, 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. One can imagine what Fang Shiyou's life was like after he divorced Xu Shengnan. It was definitely not as good as when he was with Xu Shengnan.
Fang Shiyou sometimes complains that Xu Shengnan is not considerate enough because she focuses too much on her career and does not care about herself like an ordinary woman cares about her husband. But Fang Shiyou knows better that if Xu Shengnan had not worked so hard, who would pay off the mortgage for the house they live in now?
It was because Xu Shengnan was the one who paid for the mortgage that he could put all his salary in his own pocket and spend it as he pleased. He didn't have to pay most of his salary to the bank like other colleagues did, which made him miserable.
He's just a human being. He always thinks twice before doing anything. 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, after Fang Shiyou was with his "true love", he would think of Xu Shengnan's good points from time to time, and compare his current life with his previous life.
Without Xu Shengnan as a capable and wise wife, Fang Shiyou's monthly salary was not enough to support him. He was so short of money that he realized for the first time 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, when colleagues occasionally get together, Fang Shiyou simply doesn't dare to attend, no matter if it's a split or someone else's treat, Fang Shiyou doesn't dare to go. Split is too expensive for Fang Shiyou, and usually the meals ordered at such gatherings are not cheap. A whole meal costs two or three hundred yuan.
As for other people treating you, don't take it too seriously. How can you possibly not have to pay them back if you've received some treatment from them?
The so-called treat is nothing more than you treat today and I treat tomorrow, and no one will suffer a loss if we treat each other back and forth.
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 asked. 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.
Unlike them, each of them can't live such a comfortable life. As a man who has a family and children, Fang Shiyou is the one who lives the most comfortable. Everyone has a few times when they don't attend such dinners, but Fang Shiyou is the only one who always participates in them.
At that time, Fang Shiyou enjoyed the envious gazes of many people. After he divorced Xu Shengnan and had to shoulder the burden of the entire family like other men, he refused dinner parties again and again. Many people looked at Fang Shiyou with strange or even gloating eyes.
You can live a good life, but you have to break up a good family for a woman, and make your life go back 50 years. Is that interesting? Is there a big hole in Fang Shiyou's brain?
When Fang Shiyou's wife was Xu Shengnan, he attended every banquet and dressed well. But when Fang Shiyou's wife changed, he looked so sloppy. Has he bought any new clothes this year?
How many people were really jealous from the bottom of their hearts that a man like Fang Shiyou could marry a wife as good as Xu Shengnan? Then, when they heard that Fang Shiyou had raised a third child and that Xu Shengnan found out, and the two divorced, these people secretly applauded and shouted that it was a great pleasure.
Fang Shiyou was not as educated as me, not as good-looking as me, and not as tall as me. How could such a man who was inferior to me in every way marry a wife who was excellent in every way? Fortunately, the situation 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, but now many people deliberately laugh at him. In the past, Fang Shiyou had a lot of face, but now, all of his face has been trampled underfoot.
For men, nothing is more important than face.
Based on this point alone, Fang Shiyou already has enough reason to regret giving up Xu Shengmo, who could make him infinitely proud, for the sake of "true love". In addition, due to the financial difficulties, Fang Shiyou can still endure and persevere for the sake of his son in the short term.
Poor couples mourn for a hundred days. As time went by, Fang Shiyou even had second thoughts about Xu Shengnan, a good woman. And the "true love" Fang Shiyou found, except for having 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 drastically reduced to less than one-third of the original amount.
Fortunately, Fang Shiyou has a provident fund, otherwise, the Fang family would not be able to spend even one-third of the original living expenses.
This was a big deal. Not only Fang Shiyou couldn't stand it, but Fang Shiyou's mother couldn't help but jump up and down, "No matter how hard life was in the past, when I was with your father, it was not so hard. Shiyou, the child hasn't been born yet. When the child is born, milk powder, diapers, which one doesn't cost money, and the child's things are much more expensive than those of adults. By then, we have three adults in our family. Do we just not need to eat and just feed the child?"
Fang's mother really couldn't imagine what the family situation would become like after the baby in her new daughter-in-law's belly was born, and how bad it would become.
But after just a moment of thinking about it, Fang's mother found that she couldn't face that kind of life at all. She felt her scalp tingling and goosebumps all over her body. "My friend, no, I really can't live like this. Don't you think that the way your new wife looks at you is different?"
