My cousin Xiaoying, 36 years old, is 168 cm tall, has fair skin, and although her appearance is not outstanding, she is full of temperament. She has a gentle and virtuous personality, and has worked steadily in a business unit.
However, just because of the impulse, she not only lost her glamorous position, but also suffered a lot of damage. At the beginning, Xiaoying first entered the workplace, and many young men pursued her, but she chose Xiao Zhang, a man who graduated from junior high school, was less tall than her, and did not have a proper job.
Xiao Zhang attracted Xiao Ying mainly because his family was wealthy, and his father ran a food processing factory, and his business was thriving. Coupled with Xiao Zhang's sweet words, and his ingenious pursuit strategy, Xiao Ying finally gave in.
However, although Xiao Zhang's father's factory makes money, Xiao Zhang himself indulges in a frivolous life, sometimes going to the factory, sometimes playing around, and hanging out with a group of bad friends.
When they first got married, the little two were still safe with each other, but after a long time, Xiaoying began to urge Xiao Zhang to change his bad habits and persuade him to return to the right path. However, Xiao Zhang, whose habits are difficult to change, was only perfunctory, and even openly dated another woman during Xiaoying's pregnancy.
When Xiaoying discovered Xiao Zhang's infidelity, the child was already two months old. She was in a lot of pain and regretted her choice. Initially, she planned to divorce, but unexpectedly, Xiao Zhang cried and begged not to divorce, and promised to rehabilitate and cut off contact with the woman. With the child and in-laws, Xiaoying forgave Xiao Zhang.
However, Xiaoying's heart was always hard to let go. Although she forgave Xiao Zhang on the surface, her inner resentment remained, and she said in her own words, every time she saw Xiao Zhang, it was as uncomfortable as eating a fly. Xiao Zhang also felt Xiao Ying's coldness, she ignored his words and was always worried.
After Xiaoying's maternity leave, she entrusted the child to her mother-in-law and returned to work. However, her work has not been in good condition, and whenever she thinks of Xiao Zhang's betrayal, there is a thorn in her heart. In the office, an old brother Wang noticed Xiaoying's low mood, asked her if she was unwell, and helped her cook and take out the garbage at noon.
Although Lao Wang is four or five years older than Xiaoying, he is mature and steady, treats people warmly, and Xiaoying respects him very much. Under the care of Big Brother Wang, Xiaoying felt warm. She has never experienced such treatment since she got married.
Slowly, Xiaoying found that she had feelings for Brother Lao Wang, and her mood changed. She understood that this kind of feeling should not exist, but when she thought of Xiao Zhang's betrayal, she was relieved again: He can be the first year of junior high school, why can't I do fifteen? This thought grows like a weed.
One day, Xiaoying decided to invite Big Brother Wang to dinner to thank him for his concern during this time. Lao Wang readily agreed, the two found a secluded restaurant, talked about their misfortunes, Xiaoying burst into tears, poured a lot of wine, and finally, Lao Wang rented a room in a nearby hotel, and the two drunk people spent the night.
After waking up the next day, both felt regret. Xiaoying feels guilty for failing Lao Wang, she knows that Lao Wang already has a family, and his wife lives happily. As for Xiao Zhang, she did not feel sorry for him, but felt a sense of revenge satisfaction for him.
Although the two were estranged on the surface afterwards, the relationship was not easy to break. Soon after, the two met again on a business trip.
Xiao Zhang noticed the change in Xiao Ying, she no longer made a face at him, and sometimes even took the initiative to talk to him. He mistakenly thought that Xiaoying had forgiven himself and tried to get close to her, but was resolutely rejected by Xiaoying, making him feel embarrassed.
Xiao Zhang began to follow Xiao Ying frequently, eventually catching the handle during her date with Lao Wang, and secretly took many photos of them holding hands and kissing. After returning home, he not only beat Xiaoying, but also caused a riot in the unit, and found friends to beat Lao Wang.
The incident spread throughout the city and everyone knew about it. In the end, Xiaoying was forced to divorce, not only losing her children, but also losing her job
, had to resign from his post and go to work abroad.
This story triggered me to think deeply about the concept of society. Under the same mistake, there is a clear double standard in society's attitude towards men and women. Men tend to be more tolerant, while women endure accusations and insults. As women, when we face the betrayal of men, we should not beat ourselves up, let alone respond in the wrong way. We should be strong, brave, and not allow ourselves to fall into the same situation as those who hurt us.
Xiaoying could have kept her decent job instead of taking revenge on Xiao Zhang for cheating. She could have chosen to divorce and start over to find her own happiness. However, she chose the wrong path and ended up paying a heavy price. This story reminds us that in life, in the face of setbacks and betrayals, we need to deal calmly, look for more positive solutions, and not allow ourselves to fall into the abyss.
In summary, the story tells us that problems in love and family need to be solved with reason and strength, not by revenge in the wrong way. At the same time, we should also reflect on the double standards of society towards men and women, and strive for fairer and more equal social treatment. No matter what happens, we should stand up for our morality, not allow ourselves to fall, and look for a better future.
