Chapter 210 It's Not Black and White
Chapter 210 It's Not Black and White
Military academy compound.
Mu Mingzhen looked at her eldest son who was crying on the sofa with his hands covering his face, and angrily slammed the magazine in her hand onto the coffee table.
"Why are you crying? It's too late to cry now. Tan Ming, Zhang Hui looks gentle and kind, but she is actually very opinionated. Once such a person is hurt, the consequences will be very serious."
"But mom, I love Huihui, I don't want to divorce her."
Mu Mingzhen was speechless for a while.
"Love? Are you thinking of loving Huihui now? When you lied to Huihui and me on the phone, did you love Huihui?"
Tan Ming looked up blankly.
"Mom, I was afraid Huihui would be angry with you. I just wanted to help her and come back soon."
Mu Mingzhen laughed angrily:
"You're afraid we'll be angry. Why are you afraid we'll be angry? It's because you know it's wrong to do this. You knew it, but you still did it."
"Tan Ming, you've known since childhood that lying is shameful, but you did it anyway. Now you're being retaliated against, isn't this your own fault?"
Mu Mingzhen sighed, looked at Tan Ming and said in a serious tone: "Tan Ming, raise your head and look at me."
Mu Mingzhen looked at those confused eyes and felt heartbroken when she thought of the years when he had gloomily devoted himself to high-intensity training.
"Tan Ming, I really want to know, don't you have any self-respect? You were abandoned by Xia Qing. She slept with more than one man as early as her senior year."
"To be honest, I've lived for more than 50 years, but I've rarely seen a woman as rotten as Xia Qing. Don't you feel sick when you see someone with such a corrupt character?"
Mu Mingzhen stood up, his tone tired and cold.
"Tan Ming, I originally thought that Xia Qing was just vain and greedy for wealth, so she married the son of the dean of the department. I thought that was understandable, and I felt sorry for you for so many years."
"Now that I know about Xia Qing's bad deeds, I feel so ashamed. We should have a good family discussion, but I have been troubled for eight years because of such a bad woman."
"We can't live a good life now, Tan Ming, you are very unfilial. Huihui was so blind to find someone like you, I feel sorry for her."
After saying that, Mu Mingzhen turned around resolutely and went back to the bedroom.
Tan Ming sat on the sofa in a daze, replaying the scolding words his family had said to him over and over in his mind.
......
These days, he thought of his past with Zhang Hui countless times, and every bit of it was sweet.
But now, he has lost the sweetness.
When he told Zhang Hui everything about Xia Qing before their marriage, she felt sorry for him but was hesitant.
He also chased her and swore again and again that Xia Qing was his shame. The past had long been forgotten and he only had Huihui in his heart.
Zhang Hui once jokingly warned that she was emotionally clean and if Xia Qing appeared again, she would not want him anymore.
He knew Zhang Hui; her cleanliness came from her family.
Zhang Hui's father had a first love when he was an educated youth, but they went their separate ways after returning to the city.
Five years ago, the woman's husband died, and Zhang Hui's father left the house without hesitation.
I don't know if they had a grand wedding, but I bought a wedding announcement in the newspaper, which read:
"Thirty years of separation, endless longing. One hundred years of love, the dream of first love comes true."
Zhang Hui said that she hated this kind of extremely selfish man.
If you can't forget your first love, you should remain a virgin for her. Why would you bother with other women?
Your dream of first love has come true, but what is the point of all the efforts your original wife has made for most of her life?
And now, he has touched Zhang Hui's reverse scale.
......
After she started working, Zhang Hui returned to her mother's house and slowly emptied the house of her belongings.
Tan Ming was extremely anxious, but no matter how much he begged, it was of no use.
Finally, when I got home from work one day, all the wedding photos in the house were gone. There was almost no trace of Zhang Hui in the house.
Only some faded red wedding characters on the glass windows told him that sweetness once existed.
He ran downstairs like crazy and saw a familiar photo frame in the trash can.
I went to my mother-in-law's house again, but was still turned away.
Zhang Hui always says the same thing: when you agree to divorce, we will talk.
......
Mu Mingzhen looked at her eldest son who was becoming increasingly haggard, and finally softened her heart and went to talk to Zhang Hui.
"Huihui, Mom is not here to speak for Tan Ming. I just think that since you two are so deadlocked now, why don't you both take a step back and set a deadline."
"If you still insist on it when the time comes, then we can divorce. Then I'll make the decision for you and I won't let him hold you back any longer."
Zhang Hui looked at the kind-hearted Mu Mingzhen and felt pain in her heart again.
She once thought she was extremely lucky. She met the man she loved, had understanding, considerate and interesting parents-in-law, and got along well with her brother-in-law and sister-in-law.
But now...
It will be hard to meet such a nice family again.
Her heart softened for a moment.
"Mom, then let's do it for half a year. We will still be separated during this half year."
......
Wen Xin came to visit Zhang Hui on the weekend and took her out shopping to relax.
While Zhang Hui was in the bathroom washing her hair, Zhang Hui's mother whispered to Wen Xin:
"Huihui is a very stubborn child. I divorced her father a few years ago, which was a big shock to her. Her intense reaction now is related to those things."
"In fact, the problems between his father and I appeared in the early days of our marriage. We had different personalities, different ideas, and neither of us met the other's imagination of a lover."
"We rarely quarrel, but the cold relationship between husband and wife is more hurtful. We have calmly discussed divorce many times, but in the end we let it go for Huihui's sake."
"Huihui had to take the high school entrance exam, the college entrance exam, and find a partner... time and time again, it was delayed. We didn't get divorced until five years ago when that woman got cancer."
"In fact, Huihui's father didn't miss that woman so much, he just contacted her later. Without her, we would have divorced."
"Huihui ignored all these things, except for her father's leaving home and remarrying. In fact, many things are not as black and white as she thinks."
Wen Xin nodded: "But Sister Huihui said that when they got married, there was a happy announcement in the newspaper, which made her very sad."
"That woman got cancer. She always thought it was caused by her unhappy marriage, so she wanted to post this. Huihui's father explained it to me. I didn't care, but I didn't expect it would hurt Huihui."
Wen Xin was silent.
Zhang Hui’s mother is right. Marriage is not black and white.
Many couples divorce not because of principled issues such as the appearance of a third party.
In a considerable number of cases, all kinds of trivial matters have exhausted people's expectations of marriage, and they choose to let go after being exhausted.
......
Zhou Tian returned to the military compound for dinner, and Mu Mingzhen quietly pulled Wen Xin into the house to talk.
"Xinxin, I heard that Xia Qing's injury has almost healed and she has returned to school. I'm going to go to school to look for her. I can't let her keep bothering Tan Ming like this."
Wen Xin shook her head: "Mom, you can't, you are too civilized, not suitable for this job, you might get mad at her. How about I go with you."
"No, you can't go. It would be bad if people knew your identity."
Wen Xin thought about it and it was true. It seemed inappropriate for the sister-in-law to teach her uncle's ex-girlfriend a lesson.
It's fine to teach him a lesson secretly, but it's better to do it openly.
Wen Xin thought about it for a while, but still kept busy. He got the professor's home phone number from Beijing Normal University and called his wife Sun Meizhen.
Sun Meizhen listened to the phone with her eyes shining:
"Great! Someone is going to take care of this bitch. I have to go and see the fun. No, I have to go ahead and get ahead."
