The Wildest Urban Marriages: Contract Couples

Chapter 22 Divorce Showdown
When Miao Miao came home, it was already 09:30, and her husband Wen Hui was lying on the sofa in the hall, smoking a cigarette and watching TV at the same time.Miao Miao thought to herself, what's wrong with him, why did he start smoking, because Wen Hui seldom smokes, unless he is in a bad mood or encounters some difficulties.

Seeing Miao Miao approaching, Wen Hui asked, "Who are you having dinner with so late?"

Because of President Lin's abrupt behavior during dinner, Miaomiao made herself feel a little uneasy, and her originally happy mood suddenly fell to the bottom.But she didn't want to tell her husband what happened tonight, because Miao Miao knew that even if she told him, he couldn't give her any advice, so she replied flatly: "The unit invited a customer to dinner, and everyone drank happily, so it's been a long time." point."

Wen Hui didn't notice Miao Miao's strange expression, and continued to watch his TV.

Miao Miao put down her handbag and asked, "Where is Lili, is he asleep?"

"Well, if you sleep, you will fall asleep early."

After hearing this, Miao Miao went upstairs and pushed open the door of her son's bedroom, and turned on the orange wall lamp by the bed, her son was lying on the bed and sleeping sweetly.The son combined the advantages of her and Wen Hui, with thick black eyebrows, a small and tall nose, pink lips, fair skin, a handsome little boy.Miao Miao lovingly kissed her son on the face, looked at it for a long time, then reluctantly turned off the light, walked downstairs, saw her husband was still watching TV, and asked casually: "It's so late, Why don't you sleep yet?"

Wen Hui sat up and said to Miao Miao seriously, I want to talk to you about something.

Seeing Wen Hui's serious face, Miao Miao realized that her husband might have something important to discuss, so she sat down on the other side of the sofa chair.

Wen Hui took a deep puff of the cigarette, then pressed the end of the cigarette into the ashtray, and said with determination: "Miao Miao, let's get a divorce."

"Divorce, why, isn't this a good life?" Miao Miao didn't expect her husband to propose a divorce at this time. Although the two were not as affectionate as they were when they first met, the relationship between the two was a few years earlier. The harmony before the emptiness, at least there will be no quarrels, no cold wars from time to time, except that there are few skin relatives, the two care about each other like relatives, why are they suddenly divorced now?Besides, the practice of married couples on weekends was also proposed by her husband himself. Miao Miao didn't understand, because Miao Miao thought that now that they chose to live as married couples on weekends, it didn't matter whether they divorced or not. There is no constraint or pressure on the other party.

"Miao Miao, Qiao Qiao (the dance teacher's nickname) is pregnant." After Wen Hui finished speaking, he just lowered his head and looked at the ground, not daring to meet Miao Miao's eyes.

"Pregnant, what are you kidding?" Miao Miao's expression became stiff all of a sudden, she was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth from ear to ear, she suspected that she had heard it wrong.

Wen Hui just nodded.

"Didn't you say that she has infertility? Why is she pregnant again now? What are you kidding?" Miao Miao clearly remembered that her husband once told herself that the reason for the dance teacher's divorce was because of years of infertility. How could she be pregnant again?

Wen Hui looked at Miao Miao with guilty eyes, and explained: "She has blocked fallopian tubes, but this disease can still be cured. After she was diagnosed with infertility in the hospital, she never gave up treatment. After the divorce, She has not interrupted the treatment, but this time, for some reason, she got pregnant by accident, and she herself was surprised."

When Miao Miao heard the news, she was dumbfounded. Although the two had been sharing different dreams for many years, they were still a complete family in the eyes of outsiders.After many quarrels, she was unable to make up her mind to divorce because she considered her son Lili and hoped to give her a complete family, but the news from her husband just now undoubtedly broke the illusion of love. no smile.

Wen Hui continued: "I'm sorry, I joined that club originally to improve the quality of life of each other. I never thought about getting divorced, let alone that she would get pregnant unexpectedly, because we agreed not to destroy each other's life at the beginning of signing the contract." , but you know, as a woman who has been infertile for many years, what a surprise and how important it is to have an unexpected pregnancy. You are also a mother. I believe that you can understand her feelings to some extent, so she began to tell me When the news came, I was also shocked, and after the surprise, I fell into conflict, because I knew that her pregnancy would disrupt our original living conditions, so when she proposed to get married, I delayed agreeing, because I feel sorry for Lili and you, I was the one who proposed to join the club at that time, and I was the one who proposed to practice weekend married life, and now I propose to divorce, I am really ashamed of you." Wen Hui paused for a while, Showed deep shame.

"What about Lili, how do you tell him? We have been quarreling and not getting divorced for so many years. What is the reason? Isn't it because of Lili? Is he not important to you? You are willing to leave him behind. He doesn't care?" Miao Miao asked back.What Miao Miao was more concerned about was that her son's strength would be affected. What was the purpose of enduring a tasteless life for so many years? Was it for her son? Now in the end, her husband still had to give up his son for another woman.Even though, in the early years, she was very tired of this kind of marriage, but Miao Miao was still very sad when she really wanted to leave.Humans are strange animals. When holding something in their hands, they always think that this is not good or that is not good. When the thing that has always been bad is about to disappear, they are very reluctant to part with it.

"Miaomiao, the reason why I haven't filed for divorce is also because of conflicts. The child in her belly is growing up day by day, and I must give this child a name. Otherwise, how she faces her colleagues and everyone is surprised. You also know that if you have a child without legal procedures, you will be fired from your job. If I don't marry her, it will be cruel to her. After all, she is also my own flesh and blood, so I can't turn a blind eye to it." Wen Hui lowered his head and inserted his hands into the hair on his forehead in pain.

Miao Miao was silent when she heard this, she didn't know what to say, she just felt uncomfortable, Miao Miao clearly remembered that when she first heard her husband tell the story about that teacher, she once said sympathetically that she wanted her husband to treat this teacher well Well, at this moment, my husband has a real affection for this teacher, why do I feel lonely for no reason?

Seeing that Miao Miao was silent, Wen Hui continued: "I know what the biggest psychological obstacle to your divorce is, so you don't have to worry too much about it. I will spare time to accompany you on weekends. We won't tell them about it for the time being. On the surface, we can still act as if we have not divorced. The provincial capital is so big, and we have less contact with the neighbors around us. As long as we don’t tell them, they won’t know. As for my son, I think when he is older, I will I will find an opportunity to explain to him. Except that we are legally divorced, in fact we can still maintain the original living conditions. You don’t have to worry about this. I also made an agreement with Qiao Qiao, and she also agreed to let me Come over on the weekend and spend more time with Lili."

When the husband talked about this, Miao Miao didn't know what to say, because it was Wen Hui who filed for divorce first, so there was not much dispute over the property. The husband agreed to take care of Miao Miao in the division of property, and the house belonged to Miao Miao. The savings are divided in half, and the car belongs to the husband.

The husband finally said to Miao Miao: "When we have time, let's go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the formalities."

Miao Miao looked at her phone, it was almost one o'clock in the morning, and it turned out that they had been talking for hours.

Miao Miao said indifferently: "Okay, go to sleep, it's getting late." Without even looking at her husband, Miao Miao turned off the desk lamp beside her and fell asleep hugging the quilt.

Lying under the quilt, Miao Miao asked herself: When there is only family affection left between husband and wife, without any sexual desire between men and women, is it more meaningful to maintain such a marriage, or is it more meaningful to divorce.Miao Miao fell into confusion again, thinking, thinking, Miao Miao still fell asleep exhausted...

The next day, when Miao Miao's family of three were having dinner, they suddenly received a call from Cui Xiaoshan. She asked Miao Miao if she had posted something on the Internet.

Miao Miao said inexplicably, I haven't posted anything, I haven't surfed the Internet for a long time.

Cui Xiaoshan said, go to the Tianya website and read it yourself. There is an article "Behind the "Broken Leg Incident"" by a person named Miaomiao. Take a look.

After hearing this, Miao Miao remembered that some time ago, when she went to Lijiang Town, Wushan City for an investigation and interview, she made a feature article. Because the newspaper did not agree to publish this article, Miao Miao posted it on a well-known website in annoyance. Miao didn't think much about it at the time, but felt that as a journalist, he should tell everyone the objective and true situation.

Miao Miao turned on the computer and logged into the Tianya website.I saw that my article had millions of hits in less than a month, and there were a lot of people who followed it. Those who followed it said anything, and most of them meant the same thing. I sympathize with Su San. , Accusing the work style of some leaders today, exaggerated and false, emphasizing political achievements, disregarding the local reality, deceiving the upper and lower, shouting one thing, and doing another behind the scenes.

One column in the post caught Miao Miao's attention. Someone anonymously posted a photo of a woman in the post. The text below the photo read: Do you know who this woman is?This is the former director of the Family Planning Commission of Wushan City, a female leading cadre who overshadows the sky with one hand and acts recklessly.This photo looks familiar to Miao Miao, who is this woman?Who is it?Is this the former director of the Family Planning Commission?How do you feel where you have seen this woman?But Miao Miao couldn't remember where she had seen her.

Moreover, the photos and messages were copied continuously, and more than ten columns were repeatedly posted.

Miao Miao continued to look down, and there was another column of posts that caught Miao Miao's attention. There was also a group of photos posted there. The indoors were taken in a mess. The TV, tables and chairs were lying on the ground in a mess. The text notes were: Su Sanjia was smashed by a group of strangers.

Su San?Miao Miao thought of the beaten deputy mayor of Lijiang Town, who would go to his house to make trouble?
Miao Miao quickly dialed a phone number to her old classmate Li Biki.Li Biki told Miao Miao that Su San's house was smashed to pieces by some kind of people some time ago, and Su San's mother was so angry that her old illness relapsed, she was sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Miao Miao asked, who did this, was it the villager's family with the broken leg?

The classmate said, no, his family never left the village at all, so it couldn’t be them. According to reports, this group of people covered their faces and came in a vicious manner. Rotten everything in Susan's house.Su Sanjia has reported the case, and the case is still under further investigation.

Miao Miao couldn't believe it, the world was clear, and there were people who dared to rush into other people's homes in broad daylight to rummage through boxes and smash other people's things.

Miao Miao published this article under her real name, and she also left her QQ number, no wonder Cui Xiaoshan wanted to call to ask herself.Miao Miao opened her QQ again, and found that there were many emails from strange netizens in her QQ mailbox.When Miao Miao opened these emails, she was very surprised. Miao Miao received several threatening letters in her mailbox, all of which were published anonymously.Miao Miao was very angry. She just truthfully reported the ins and outs of Su San's beating and the truth. How could she offend anyone?Miao Miao read several other emails, which were also sent anonymously. There were scanned payment slips and copies of some receipts and bills in the emails. Miao Miao couldn't understand what this meant, let alone what it meant.The other party only said that he trusted him, so he sent a backup copy for Miao Miao to keep, just in case, and repeatedly told him not to tell anyone that he had received this email, so as not to involve himself in it.When Miao Miao saw this, she felt a little clouded, and felt a little uneasy. The other party also kindly reminded Miao Miao to pay attention to the broken leg incident. The truth is far from what she saw. Simple.

The words of this kind-hearted person made Miao Miao feel very confused and bad. She couldn't figure out what the article she wrote was related to these invoices, and why this person sent her such an email. Miao Miao became irritated for no reason.

After Wen Hui finished washing the dishes, seeing Miao Miao still sitting in front of the computer in a daze, he said, what's the matter? What did your colleague want you to watch? It took so long.

Miao Miao said it was nothing, so she closed QQ and Tianya Forum casually. She didn't want to tell her husband these inexplicable things. She and him were about to divorce anyway, so what could she do if she told him, she was at a loss.

On Monday morning, as soon as Miao Miao entered the work unit, many colleagues came up to congratulate Miao Miao.It turned out that the unit had announced the scores of the applicants for each position early in the morning. Miao Miao looked at her own scores. Among the positions she applied for, Miao Miao's scores were far ahead. Everyone said that ZZ newspaper editor Miao Miao is the director of the office.Seeing the announced results, Miaomiao felt much better again, and forgot all the unpleasant things she encountered at the weekend.

When Miao Miao just approached the office, Cui Xiaoshan came in and said to Miao Miao secretly, "Miao Miao, have you read the Tianya Forum?"

Miao Miao said: "Look, because of my article, many netizens have turned the tide. Now they all sympathize with Su San and criticize the former director of the Wushan Family Planning Commission for covering up and indulging relatives and seeking political achievements unrealistically."

"Do you know where the director of the Municipal Family Planning Commission is now?" Cui Xiaoshan asked mysteriously.

"I don't know, I only heard that they were transferred to Jianghai City, but I didn't know which unit they are in." Miao Miao replied with a blank expression.

"She's in an important department in Jianghai City, do you know that she was transferred here through the help of our Jiangning Daily President Lin?" Cui Xiaoshan whispered in Miao Miao's ear, as if she was afraid that someone would hear her.

"President Lin—?" Miao Miao exclaimed in surprise.

"Keep your voice down, this is absolutely confidential information, and I'm only telling you about it. Don't spread it. The woman in your post, I met many years ago, is the former director of the Family Planning Commission of Wushan City. A long relationship is not normal, so I reminded you yesterday and asked you to read that forum."

When Cui Xiaoshan was whispering in Miao Miao's ear, Qin, the president of ZZ newspaper, entered the editorial office, saw Cui Xiaoshan was there, and said, "Xiaoshan, you are here, I am looking for you to make a report?" Passed the manuscript paper in his hand to Cui Xiaoshan.

"Oh, okay, then I'll go out first." Cui Xiaoshan took President Qin's manuscript and went out.

After Cui Xiaoshan left, President Qin said to Miao Miao: "Miao Miao, come to my office."

Miao Miao followed President Qin into his office, and after sitting down, President Qin said, "Miao Miao, last time, I asked you to interview the Jiangzhen broken leg incident there, and the newspaper did not agree with you to publish this manuscript, so you posted it on the Internet. Is it?"

"Well, yes, President Qin, what's wrong with this? The newspaper is reluctant to report this matter due to various considerations.
Isn't it okay for individuals to express their opinions online? "Miao Miao was very puzzled.

"I didn't say you can't, it's just that as a newspaper employee, if you post such an article, it will cause dissatisfaction among the relevant people, and they will naturally reflect their dissatisfaction to our newspaper. You should think about this matter carefully. I suggest that you do the best. Undo the article you posted, and delete all the follow-up posts. I am also doing this for your own good. You have done so well in the exam this time, and you are very hopeful to take over the position of editorial director. I don’t want your promotion to be complicated. Take care of yourself Think about it, stay at noon, come with me to the Yafei Hotel for dinner."

After hearing President Qin's words, Miao Miao lost her mind and wondered if she really wanted to take that article down. Miao Miao felt a little sad in her heart, and sighed: Why is it so difficult to tell the truth?
