45-year-old third-married woman married: Give me 200,000 dowry, and give you two more babies, I: I don't want to send them
Self-introduction: My name is Zhou Zhenchang, born in 1988, just 36 years old this year, in the prime of life. It is said that men stand in their thirties, although I am not successful in my career, but I am also a small achievement, and I work as a middle manager in a good company. My life is ordinary and fulfilling, and I am busy between work and the trivialities of life every day, and I rarely have time to stop and think about life. Until that day, a sudden blind date broke my originally peaceful life.
That day, my mother called and said that a relative had introduced a woman, who was older than me, but she was a nice person, and wanted me to meet her. I didn't want to go, but my mother persuaded me on the other end of the phone, saying that I was already a big man and that it was time to start a family. In desperation, I had no choice but to agree.
The meeting place was at a café. I arrived early, sat by the window, and looked at the bustling crowd outside the window, and I couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive. After a while, she came. Her name is Li Mei, 45 years old, married for the third time, she looks older than my actual age, but her temperament is not bad. We exchanged a few words of pleasantry and started an awkward chat.
"Mr. Zhou, I heard that you have good conditions, a stable job, and a person who lives a good life. Li Mei said straight to the point.
I smiled and didn't say anything. To be honest, I don't have a good impression of her, but since I'm here, I'm embarrassed to leave directly.
"And what do you think of me?" I asked tentatively.
"You're a good person, but you're a little younger. Li Mei said bluntly, "But it doesn't matter, I don't mind this." We can get married as long as you want. ”
I was a little stunned when I heard this, I didn't expect her to be so direct. I tried to euphemistically express my displeasure: "Ms. Li, I think our age gap is a bit big and may not be a good fit. ”
"Age is not an issue. Li Mei interrupted me, "As long as you are willing to give me 200,000 dowry, I can also give you two babies." ”
I was completely stunned, I didn't expect her to make such a request. I took a deep breath and said as calmly as I could, "Ms. Li, I think we might need to think about it again. ”
"What are you considering? Don't you think I'm good enough?" said Li Mei with some dissatisfaction, "I tell you, I'm not a casual woman. I've been married twice before, but both of them have been divorced for various reasons. Now I just want to find a reliable man and live a stable life. ”
I listened to her words with mixed feelings. I didn't know what to say to her, so I made an excuse and left the café. When I got home, I told my mother about it. When the mother heard this, she sighed and said, "Alas, women nowadays are really becoming more and more realistic. ”
After this incident, I completely lost interest in blind dates. I started to reflect on my life and my values, to think about what I wanted
What is it. I have come to understand that marriage is not a transaction, and it cannot be measured in terms of money. What I want is a partner who can understand and support each other, not a woman who only values money.
Today, I'm 36 years old and still single. But I'm not in a hurry, I believe that fate will come naturally. I also hope that those who are still struggling with their marriage can stick to their principles and values and find their true happiness like me.
Sub-heading: Money or Love, Which Is Heavier?
Time flies by like flowing water, and in a blink of an eye, I, Zhou Zhenchang, have entered the age of 37. Although the single life is still as calm as water, there are occasional ripples. That day, I met with a few old friends in a teahouse and talked about our recent situation, and the conversation inevitably turned to marriage and love.
"Zhenchang, how are you now? Are you still single?" quipped his old friend Zhang Qiang.
I smiled and nodded, "yes, it's still a stand." But it's also good, it's free. ”
"Freedom is freedom, but you have to have a companion, right?" another old friend, Li Wei, interjected, "Your conditions are not bad, why don't you find a suitable one?"
I sighed and briefly recounted my previous experience of blind date with Li Mei. After hearing this, everyone expressed surprise and puzzlement.
"This woman is too realistic, isn't it?" Zhang Qiang sighed, "How can marriage be measured by money?"
"yes, I think Zhenchang did the right thing. Li Wei echoed, "This kind of woman who only values money will not be happy even if she marries home." ”
Sub-heading: Reunion and reversal
Just as I was about to change the topic to avoid embarrassment, Li Mei suddenly spoke. Her voice was softer than the last time we met: "Mr. Zhou, I know that the request I made last time may make you think that I am very materialistic. But there's a reason why I say that. ”
I raised an eyebrow and motioned for her to continue. Li Mei took a deep breath, as if she had made a lot of determination: "My previous two marriages were broken down because of financial problems. I don't want your money, I just want a stable future. ”
As I listened to her words, I felt a mixed emotion welling up in my heart. I began to understand her past, but I still had doubts in my mind: "Ms. Li, I understand that your past may be difficult. But marriage is not maintained by money, what we need is trust and affection. ”
Li Mei nodded, a flash of gratitude flashed in her eyes: "I know, Mr. Zhou." In fact, after that day, I also reflected a lot. I'm not trying to bind you with money, I just want someone who can treat you with all sincerity. ”
As our conversation deepened, I realized that Li Mei was not the kind of woman I had imagined she was only interested in money. She has her own story and suffering, as well as her desire and expectation for the future.
Sub-heading: Collision and Choice of Emotions
As we communicated, I gradually discovered that Li Mei and I had a lot in common. We've all experienced life's setbacks and longed to find someone who really understands us. Our relationship has also changed imperceptibly.
One day, Li Mei asked me to go hiking a mountain. At the top of the mountain, she suddenly grabbed my hand: "Mr. Zhou, I know that what I did before may make you think that I am utilitarian. But I really like you right now, and I hope we can give each other a chance. ”
I looked at her serious eyes, and a warm current welled up in my heart. I know I have feelings for her, too. But I still hesitated: "Ms. Li, I appreciate your love for me. But marriage is not child's play, and we need to think carefully. ”
Li Mei nodded, not forced: "I understand, Mr. Zhou." I'll give you time to think about it. But I want you to know that I really want to be with you. ”
After a period of getting along and thinking, I finally made a decision. I approached Li Mei and told her that I would like to be with her, but only if we had to build on mutual understanding and respect, not on the exchange of money.
After Li Mei heard this, tears flashed in her eyes: "Mr. Zhou, thank you." I will cherish our relationship and will try to be a good wife. ”
Now, Li Mei and I have been married for two years. Our married life, although uneventful, is full of warmth and happiness. I'm glad I didn't miss out on someone who really deserves to be cherished because of a misunderstanding.
