Chapter 143
When Lu Zhenzhong gave up the time with his wife and children to spend time with his mother carefully, Lao Zhang made up his mind in showing weakness and curry favor.

He is determined to divorce Tan Xiu and give Tan Xiu his freedom.

Lu Zhenzhong and Luo Hui were not surprised when they first heard about Lao Zhang's decision at the dinner on Wednesday.

"Why?" Luo Hui couldn't accept it.More than once, he heard Lao Zhang say that he was afraid of getting divorced in his later years, and afraid of becoming a loner.

Lu Zhenzhong didn't ask why.There are many choices, just like standing at a fork in the road, there are reasons for going left and right.The phrase "attitude determines everything" is also applicable to choices.

When Lao Zhang said that he wanted to give Tan Xiu freedom, Lu Zhenzhong immediately thought of the reason for giving Tan Xiu freedom.

Zhang must have changed his position.

Lao Zhang has two positions: his own and Tanxiu's.When Lao Zhang re-examines and cherishes his marriage from his own standpoint, he can only be guided by showing weakness to please and doing everything possible to catch Tan Xiu.

When Lao Zhang re-examined their marriage from Tan Xiu's standpoint, he immediately understood that he was holding on to Tan Xiu, in fact, was continuing to exploit Tan Xiu.

When she was young, she didn't understand, held high the banner of filial piety, squeezed Tan Xiu mercilessly, and didn't allow her to complain.

Now I gradually understand that there is no great righteousness, justice enough to be worthy of anyone.Back then, he chose his mother instead of his wife and children. It seemed that he was paying for it, so why didn't Tan Xiu's credit be in it?It's because Tan Xiu endured humiliation that they stayed together.

Don't let Tan Xiu spend his whole life dedicating to him.Gratitude and love must be put into action.Only Lao Zhang's love for Tan Xiu surpassed his love for himself, so he made up his mind to divorce.

Lu Zhenzhong looked at Lao Zhang with compassion, and Lao Zhang waved his hands: "Don't look at me like that, I can't stand it."

"What's the matter?" Luo Hui didn't understand what happened under his nose.

"When he looks at me like that, it makes me feel like a poor wretch who has failed in life." Old Zhang smiled wryly.He asked himself a bottle of rice wine, and began to drink for himself.

Luo Hui looked at Lu Zhenzhong, wanting to find out what kind of gaze "that kind of gaze" was.All I saw was ordinary gazes.

"Why didn't I see it?!" Luo Hui was a little annoyed.Always like this, he was always half a beat behind.It's either that you don't understand, or you don't understand.

Lu Zhenzhong saw the young man's displeasure, and comforted him, "It's him who is sensitive."

Lao Zhang picked up the wine glass and was about to put it into his mouth, when he heard Lu Zhenzhong's words, his hand stopped in mid-air.There is a sense of awakening the dreamer.

After an epiphany, Lao Zhang found out that those who have worked for 30 years can retire early upon their own application and approval from relevant municipal departments according to their personnel management authority.There are still 10 months before he reaches retirement age, and he retired early.

The first thing after retirement is to divorce Tan Xiu.Tan Xiu did not hypocritically try to persuade her to stay.After the two children found out that their parents were divorced, they each sent congratulatory messages to congratulate their parents on ending their physical marriage, so they don't have to worry about it.

Lao Zhang couldn't laugh or cry.These years, he really lived in his self-righteousness.No wonder the twins are always rowdy.

The second thing is to buy a plane ticket for myself and send myself far away to Yunnan.He exiled himself also to desensitize himself.In a strange city, it is impossible to suspect that others look at him with pity, right?
After Lao Zhang landed at Changshui International Airport, he calculated the time and made a video call to Lu Zhenzhong.

"I'm just here to make sure, are you two maintaining the tradition of having dinner together on Wednesday?" In the video, Lao Zhang is in bright sunlight, and the shadows on his face are particularly contrasting.

Lu Zhenzhong and Luo Hui did have lunch together at Su Mian Fang.This is a big strong request.He didn't want the beautiful tradition that accompanied him to struggle in Shanghai to be blown away in the wind.

4 men who dreamed of ending their couple status on weekends, 2 achieved their dream in an unconventional way, and 1 went away.Back then, Lu Zhenzhong, who had the most hope of being the first to realize that husband and wife could see each other every day, became the only one who stood still.

Luo Hui snatched Lu Zhenzhong's cell phone and showed Lao Zhang his surroundings with the rear camera.

"I'll go. You've lost our throne!"

"Come on, big brother. It's not like you don't know how good the noodle restaurant's business is at noon. We are not thick-skinned enough for the two of us to occupy a table for 4 people." Lu Zhenzhong interjected.

"Show us the beautiful sunshine in Kunming." Lao Zhang reversed the camera.A picture of colorful flowers appeared in the lens.

"Old Zhang, you are too bad!"

"Hahahaha. It took me most of my life to realize that I am at ease. If I don't take this step bravely, I don't know how stupid I am."

"Old Zhang, you are really a bad wife, talking about freedom with two working dogs."

Old Zhang burst out laughing.The laughter was mixed with the noise of the noodle shop, and there was a sense of anger.

At the end of the call, Luo Hui expressed his envy: "I don't know when I can take an instant trip."

Lu Zhenzhong smiled and shook his head.Lao Zhang said he would go on a trip, but this was an escape trip, and his pockets were empty and he didn't have much money.

Luo Hui's imminent crisis was resolved at the last moment.After thinking about it, Mu Qing burst into tears and finally decided to terminate the pregnancy.

On the night when they returned to the tin caravan after the operation, the young couple hugged each other and cried.

Life is difficult, and couples without money are sad.Fortunately, they still have each other and love.

This incident left a shadow on Luo Hui.As night falls, the enthusiasm only dares to rise slightly, not to surge again.

Lu Zhenzhong and Luo Hui said goodbye at the fork leading to different office areas.He is the only one left in his office now.Workaholic Chen Simai fell ill in the hospital after returning from a business trip, with persistent high fever and severe lung infection.

It is said that on the day the plane landed at 03:30 in the morning, he went to work as usual, and fell to the ground at the door of the office.

It was the security guard who saw it from the CCTV and called 120 urgently.

A week has passed, and Mr. Chen has not been discharged from the hospital. Mr. Xiao couldn't wait any longer, and began to plan and order HR to find a headhunter to find a replacement.

Lu Zhenzhong didn't intend to go to the hospital to visit Chen Simai, but when he heard that Mr. Xiao was recruiting, he felt sorry for Chen Simai.My heart softened and I went to the hospital.

Bringing two boxes of milk and one box of deli beef, Lu Zhenzhong went to the district hospital to visit.Different floors in the hospital have different atmospheres.Arriving at the floor where Chen Simai was, the atmosphere was so solemn that he could hardly breathe.

Lu Zhenzhong obeyed the nurse's request and put on a mask.

The bedside tables of other patients were full of fruit and treats.Chen Bismarck's bedside table was empty.Seeing this, Lu Zhenzhong quickly ordered fruit online again.

Chen Simai was so moved that his eyes turned red, and he cried and laughed.Smiling and thanking Lu Zhenzhong, he said that he did not expect Lu Zhenzhong to come to see him; crying that he was not healthy, it was not a serious illness, but it took so long.

"The doctor said that you have been lacking in nutrition for a long time. Old Chen, you usually eat three meals a day. It won't cost much to eat well." Lu Zhenzhong persuaded him out of goodwill.

Chen Simai shook his head: "I have eaten very well...Compared with him, I have already eaten very well."

Lu Zhenzhong was puzzled.
