official career

"The reason I lied to you was just to hope that you would agree to let me stay here, Qin Feng. I came here not only to work, but also to live here."

"The conditions here are indeed very simple, but I like this environment very much. In this environment, no one will look at me with strange and pitying eyes, and no one will deliberately take care of me with sympathy."

"Here, I am a normal person. Even because I am a teacher, I get respect from the children. These are things I can neither get nor avoid when I live outside." Hong Yue looked up at Qin Feng, her eyes full of sincerity.

Qin Feng nodded. He admitted that Hong Yue was right. It was indeed difficult for him to understand Hong Yue's true feelings as a disabled person.

"Qin Feng, I live very well here. Although the material conditions are not very good, I am very happy spiritually. I want to live here in the future and never go out." Hong Yue looked up at Qin Feng.

Qin Feng frowned and asked, "What are you kidding?"

"I'm serious. Only by living here do I feel like a normal person. This is my world."

"Let's get divorced, really. It will be a relief for both you and me. The so-called marriage between us actually only has the practical significance of being registered at the Civil Affairs Bureau. After the divorce, the shackles in your heart will be untied, and I will be able to live the life I want here better." Hong Yue said to Qin Feng seriously.

Qin Feng smoked his second cigarette silently and said to Hong Yue, "I have arranged for Hong Jun to work at the Yi'an County Housing and Construction Bureau. If he does a good job, I will find a way to help him solve the staffing problem."

Qin Feng changed the subject.

"Are you very disgusted with me about Hong Jun's matter?" Hong Yue asked.

Qin Feng turned his head awkwardly to smoke, and Hong Yue seemed to see through his thoughts.

"I don't like Hong Jun. Your brother didn't teach him well." Qin Feng neither admitted nor denied it.

"I know that Hong Jun has been spoiled since he was young and is indeed not likable. I called you not to blame you for not taking good care of him. I actually wanted to apologize to you on his behalf. You misunderstood me." Hong Yue explained.

"I know you are very angry with me this time. You are angry about why I asked you to find a job for Hong Jun. I know you hate my brother and don't like to do this kind of thing."

"Qin Feng, I can't do anything about it. He's my biological brother, and Hong Jun is my biological nephew. I've watched him grow up. Even if I don't want to get involved in this matter, I can't really ignore it."

"Do you know? Because of this matter, my brother and sister-in-law came here to find me four or five times in the past few days. The last time, my sister-in-law knelt down in front of me. How could I not agree?" Hong Yue looked at Qin Feng and said.

"Actually, I hate my brother's behavior more than you do. I am the one who suffers the most in this matter." Hong Yue said as tears flowed again.

Qin Feng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Hong Haifeng and his wife would go to this extent for Hong Jun's matter.

"Hong Yue, you may think I am trying to sow discord between you and me, but I still want to say it. Have you ever thought that if it weren't for you and me marrying you and becoming the deputy mayor, your brother might never recognize you as his sister in this life, let alone let you enter his house, let alone treat you well like he does now." Qin Feng said while smoking.

"I know this very well. The reason why he treated me so well this time was not because I was his sister, but because I was your wife. His purpose in treating me well was actually to use me and to use me to coerce you to help him."

"But what can I do? He can disown me as his sister, but I can't disown him as his brother. I can't be as cold-blooded as him."

"Qin Feng, based on my understanding of my brother, this won't be the last time. He will blame you for any problems in the future. If you ignore him, he will come to me and torture me mentally."

"So the only solution is for you and I to divorce. As long as I am no longer your wife, I will no longer be of any use to him. He will not torture me anymore, and I won't have to feel disgusted anymore." Hong Yue said.

Qin Feng didn't know whether Hong Yue was speaking from the heart or was just making up an excuse to persuade Qin Feng to divorce her. Qin Feng never expected that meeting Hong Yue today would have such a result. He knew very well that the marriage between him and Hong Yue had long been in name only, or that he and Hong Yue had never had a real husband-and-wife relationship before. However, he couldn't get over the fact that he really wanted to divorce Hong Yue.

Seeing that Qin Feng was silent again on the issue of divorce, Hong Yue asked Qin Feng: "Qin Feng, do you think our marriage relationship is still necessary? What do you think is the point of dragging it on?"

Qin Feng couldn't answer. There was really no point in continuing this marriage.

Qin Feng married Hong Yue only because Hong Yue was helpless and her mental state was extremely unstable at that time. Marriage was just a means to comfort Hong Yue's mental state.

And now, given the current situation between Qin Feng and Hong Yue, there is indeed no need to continue to maintain it. Qin Feng knew all this very well, but he still couldn't divorce Hong Yue. First, he was reluctant, and second, he had obstacles in his heart. For Qin Feng, divorcing Hong Yue meant abandoning Hong Yue, which he couldn't do.

"Qin Feng, if you still insist on not agreeing to a divorce, I can only choose to file for divorce in court. I have specifically consulted a lawyer, and the new marriage law stipulates that as long as a couple has been separated for more than six months, they can file for divorce. If they have been separated for more than two years, the court will definitely rule for a compulsory divorce." Hong Yue saw Qin Feng's silence, and then spoke.

Qin Feng looked at Hong Yue in surprise, but met Hong Yue's determined eyes.

"The reason why you insisted on going back to Dongyang to live with your brother, and then hid it from me that you were looking for a job in Dongyang and were unwilling to go back to Yian with me, was it just to create the fact of separation?" Qin Feng asked after thinking for a while.

"Yes, I know your character. You will never agree to divorce me on your own initiative unless someone forces you. Only then can you give yourself an excuse to agree to divorce me." Hong Yue nodded.

Qin Feng was shocked, not because Hong Yue had made this arrangement early on, but because of how well Hong Yue knew him. Indeed, the reason why Qin Feng was unwilling to divorce Hong Yue was that he needed an excuse to convince himself.

"Qin Feng, you are the deputy mayor now. If I really go to the court to file for divorce, it will have a very bad impact on you, and it will not affect the result. You know, at worst I can wait another year. As long as we are separated for two years, you will have to divorce me even if you don't want to." Hong Yue said.

Hong Yue was right. As a senior party member and cadre, marriage life was also a focus of the organization's inspection. If Hong Yue really went to court to file for divorce, it would indeed have a very adverse impact on Qin Feng. Qin Feng knew that he could not let things develop to that point, otherwise it would have unpredictable effects on his personal political career.
