Things before and after marriage

Chapter 25 Divorce

Zhao Ziming didn't look for Lingyu the next day, so she thought he had gone back.

After breakfast, Lingyu drove her parents to the beach to watch the sea.She has a deep fascination with the sea, and she especially likes to sit by the sea in a daze.Quietly alone, watching the ebb and flow of the tide, let your thoughts wander endlessly.

The sea water in spring is still very cold. She walked barefoot on the beach, feeling the coolness rushing to her heart from the soles of her feet. It was icy and cold, which made people sober.

Tourists in twos and threes on the beach are taking pictures, strolling or picking up shells.The father was taking pictures of his mother with his mobile phone, gesticulating while yelling loudly.He has been yelling at his mother all his life, and he has never spoken to his mother in a soft voice, and he still behaves like bossing him until he grows up. Only his mother can bear him.

His father cheated on him when he was middle-aged, and his mother made a fuss when she found out.Lingyu was in middle school at the time, and she clearly remembers that the whole family lived in dire straits that year.The mother washed her face with tears all day long, living in fear, fearing that her father would not come home every day;Lingyu thought, her mother must have loved her father so much that she lost even her dignity.At that time, she happened to be reading Zhang Ailing's novel, and when she read the phrase "If you love someone, you will be humbled into the dust", she felt that it could not be more appropriate to describe her mother.

The farce of the father's affair ended with the mother's suicide attempt.Lingyu was in chemistry class that day, and the teacher called her to the office and told her to go home because something happened at home.When she returned home in a daze, she found a room full of people, including neighbors.

It has to be said that Chinese people's obsession with watching the excitement is the best in the world. You don't have to eat food, you don't need to die, you can't ignore the excitement!Otherwise, it would be a great shame and humiliation for people to compare their chats after dinner with others!
Lingyu squeezed into her mother's room blankly, and found her pale face lying on the bed, motionless.She finally realized that something was wrong, and she started to be afraid, and then her whole body trembled, her hands were weak.She threw herself on her mother and called softly, but her mother didn't answer her.The father pulled her up rudely, saying that mother was fine, just take a rest.

A neighbor finally got his chance and decided it was time to use his spare energy.She came up and hugged Lingyu and said, "Your mother still won't die, she just drank too many sleeping pills and wakes up later. Why are you so overwhelmed? Men are like this...".

Lingyu watched her mouth open and close, and for the first time had the urge to kill.She pushed him away with all her strength, grabbed everything she could grab and threw it away, and shouted at the top of her lungs, "Get out of here, all of you, this is our home."

When her father came to stop her, the group of uninvited guests had already fled.He grabbed Lingyu's hand firmly and said, "What are you doing so crazy, just learn some of your mother's bad habits."

Lingyu trembled when she heard this, and she retorted, "Don't say my mother is bad, you are not worthy to be my father."

The father was furious when he heard this, and threw back his hand.Lingyu didn't hide, but went to meet her, and got slapped heavily.That was the first and only time her father hit her!
Father froze for a moment, as if he didn't expect to hit her.After a while, he said, "Why am I not worthy to be your father? You are the one I love the most. How can you break my heart so much?"

"If you hurt my mother, you don't deserve it! Why don't you divorce her if you don't love her?"

Father froze, staring blankly at Lingyu. After a while, he said softly, "You are still young, you don't understand!"

"I don't understand. All I know is that if you love her, you have to stay with her and guard her. There are so many excuses!"

Mother woke up at night, hugged Lingyu and cried bitterly.

"Mom, get a divorce! I accept your divorce."

Mother didn't seem to expect Lingyu to say that, she wiped her tears and assured Lingyu.

"Mom will never do it again, I will love myself and you."

Lingyu didn't give up, "Why didn't you get a divorce? Isn't it painful? Isn't it embarrassing?"

"No, you don't understand! We won't get a divorce. What will you and Peipei do if you get divorced?"

Lingyu couldn't figure it out at that time, why adults always say you don't understand!You do not understand!You don't know!But never ask what the child thinks?What is it like?
They always say that they cannot divorce because they have children, but they never think that it is just because they are not brave enough, or they have hope for each other!

In any case, father and mother had been quarreling all their lives and never divorced.Perhaps, in the marriages of the older generation, there is no concept of divorce.Unlike today's young people, who get married today and part ways tomorrow, and post a Weibo to commemorate it-today, they spent nine yuan to divorce and lost another breakfast.
