Chapter 79 It turns out it was all his wish!
"Have you ever thought that letting go in time if you don't like someone is also a responsible way. Don't delay me from moving towards a better life!" Su Mei felt that it was really irresponsible for two people who were obviously not suitable to be together but were still forced to be together.
Huo Jianguo was silent for a long time again. He didn't know how to discuss the topic of liking something, but he remembered another thing:
"But you have been working so hard to become a better person these days, isn't it just to stay by my side?
Since you have made so much effort and I have recognized your change, why do you want to give up now? "
"Huh?" Su Mei didn't expect Huo Jianguo to be so sure that she made the change for him. She was stunned for a moment, then she told him helplessly:
"I'm not trying to change in order to stay with you, I'm changing because I want to be a better person.
After all, I am leaving you. If I continue to be the same as before, I will definitely have a miserable life after leaving you.
So I changed for myself, never for you, I said you didn't misunderstand something?"
Boom!
“Isn’t it for my change?” Huo Jianguo suddenly felt his brain explode.
So were all his fantasies these days just wishful thinking?
It turns out that she tried hard to become a better person not in order to stay with him, but in order to have enough confidence to leave him.
This realization made Huo Jianguo suddenly feel a little sad. He swallowed hard and looked at Su Mei with a tangled expression:
"Why are you losing weight, taking fertility pills, and washing my underwear and socks? If you don't want to live a good life with me, why are you doing all this?"
"Ah?" This made Su Meiwen stunned again. She looked at Huo Jianguo quietly for five seconds before looking at him seriously and saying:
"First of all, I lost weight because I was too fat, which affected my health and appearance. I have said before that this was for myself.
Secondly, I really wasn't planning on getting pregnant. I don't know where you heard that rumor from, but I was just protecting my uterus because I had a cold uterus.
Finally...I have never washed your socks and underwear. After washing them several times, I just picked them up with a stick and hung them on the tree. So, you won't wear them directly, right?"
The unwashed socks and underwear were just hung outside to dry in the air, and then taken down and put on again. Su Mei felt that the smell was a bit explosive...
She didn't remind Huo Jianguo that those things were not washed because she thought Huo Jianguo would find out that they were still dirty.
Didn't expect that he actually thought she had washed it, and was moved by it? She hung it up because she didn't want to touch it, and there was no extra basin, so she poked it with a stick and put it on the branch next to it.
"No... haven't you washed it at all?" Huo Jianguo coughed violently a few times, and his face suddenly turned red.
Although she felt embarrassed, Su Mei still nodded affirmatively: "Oh, I haven't washed it once!"
"............" Huo Jianguo was in a complicated mood at this moment.
So he wore two pairs of unwashed underwear over and over again for nearly half a month?
He suddenly hesitated a little, whether to continue standing here and talking to Su Mei, or go back to the bedroom and find a pair of pants to change into.
Seeing Huo Jianguo's face so embarrassed that he wished he could die on the spot, Su Mei couldn't help but laugh wildly for three hundred rounds in her heart.
But she had to pretend that nothing had happened. She picked up the dishes and chopsticks, stood up and put them into the pot-washing water that had been prepared in advance.
The water was a little hot, so Su Mei picked up the bucket and tried to get some cold water. But just as she lifted the bucket, Huo Jianguo snatched it away:
"Go do your own thing, I'll wash the dishes."
After washing the dishes and pots, he would immediately boil a pot of hot water for a bath.
"Oh! Okay, then you wash it." Su Mei let go of her hand and walked out quickly.
She really couldn't hold it back any longer and was too embarrassed to laugh in front of Huo Jianguo, so she ran all the way to the makeshift clinic where she treated patients, covered her mouth and laughed like a goose.
It's not that she didn't want to endure it, she just couldn't help it.
Huo Jianguo stood in the yard holding a bucket and listening to the geese: "........"
A complicated expression.
He felt a little uncomfortable when walking at this moment. He always felt that there was something extremely awkward between his legs. He didn't even dare to think about it. His cheeks would feel hot when he thought about it.
What is this...
Because she was afraid that Huo Jianguo would have some inappropriate thoughts again, Su Mei did not return to the bedroom even though she stopped laughing.
She found all the medicines and planned to make a statistics of the remaining medicines, thinking that she would send them back to the military district together with the account books for this period when she left.
While Su Mei was counting the medicines one by one, she heard the sound of water being poured into a basin next door.
Su Mei thought of Huo Jianguo's underwear and socks and couldn't help laughing out loud.
Huo Jianguo, who had already taken off his trousers that he had worn several times, looked at the underwear in his hand with a complicated expression. He wanted to knock on the window to remind Su Mei next door——
The soundproofing in this room is terrible.
After taking a shower, Huo Jianguo went out with his clothes and pants, and soaked them in a basin with detergent.
The pair of underwear that had just been taken off and the pair of underwear that Huo Jianguo had just taken down hanging on the treetop were both covered with a thick layer of soap.
The underwear has caused Huo Jianguo psychological trauma...
He really wanted to ask Su Mei, I said, little fat girl, why are you hanging it without washing it?
After soaking his clothes, Huo Jianguo was not idle either. He picked up the axe and started chopping the firewood that he had not finished chopping yesterday.
Huo Jianguo felt a little unspeakably upset. He couldn't sit still and couldn't help wanting to find something to do.
While chopping wood, Huo Jianguo's thoughts slowly drifted back to the reason why Su Mei wanted to divorce him. She said that she wanted to divorce him because he didn't like her.
What does it mean to like someone? Huo Jianguo doesn't know.
He has never had feelings for a woman.
But he knows what responsibility and obligation are.
In his opinion, marriage is a very simple thing. It just requires a marriage certificate, a house, a bed, and two people holding hands for a lifetime.
Two people in one house, three meals a day and four seasons, this is Huo Jianguo’s ideal marriage life.
These days, he once thought that he was getting closer and closer to his ideal life.
Huo Jianguo has made many plans for the future.
Thinking about my wife, children and warm bed,
I thought about taking Su Mei home to meet both of our parents, and having a harmonious lunch together as a family.
I thought that every morning when I wake up, I will see the little fat girl curled up beside me...
He had come up with so many scenarios these days, but none of them had ever included divorce.
Huo Jianguo felt extremely depressed when he thought that after the divorce, Su Mei would disappear from his life and he would move back to a cold single dormitory.
The marriage that was like a hot potato to him in the past, unexpectedly, in such a short period of time, became something he could not give up.
He doesn't want a divorce.
But she said that not getting divorced would delay her from pursuing a better life!
