In this life, people will inevitably do some regrets. If you ask me what is the most regrettable thing I've ever done, I'll answer without hesitation: Be a matchmaker for my brother.
It all started two years ago.
One morning, my mother came to see me at my flower shop with eggs, milk and fruits. Seeing this, I hurriedly took the things and beckoned her to sit down: Mom, come on. Why are you talking about so many things? Are you tired?
My mother sat down with a smile on her face: Oh, I'm not tired, it's just a little something.
At this time, there was a young lady who wanted to buy roses. I couldn't take care of my mother, so I went to work first.
After wrapping the flowers and sending off the young lady, I came over and said with a slight apology: Mom, I'm sorry. Before I could even talk to you, I was dragged to wrap up flowers. With that, I made a cup of tea and handed it to her.
My mother took the tea and took a few sips: it's okay, business matters.
Then, the two of us started to get into a home. When talking about my brother, my mother's brows were twisted into a figure of eight and she sighed: Hey, Ah Fen, Ah Hua is 32 years old. There are two children of the same age as him in the village. I don't know what he's picking, none of the girls he went on a blind date with. Until now, he is still alone. I don't know if I can still hold my grandson in my life?
I took my mother's hand and said with relief: Mom, this marriage is not in a hurry. Maybe fate hasn't arrived. Wait, it's a matter of time before you hold your grandson.
As soon as the words fell, another aunt came to buy flowers. I quickly got up and went to pick flowers for her.

After sending my aunt away, I looked at the time on my mobile phone, and it was almost time to eat, so I asked my mother: Mom, it's almost noon, what do you want to eat?
My mother thought for a while and said, "Ah Fen, let's boil a tomato egg noodle."
"Okay, you wait, just a moment. I grinned and slipped into the kitchen.
After a while, I came out with a big pot of noodles and ate it with my mother.
While eating noodles, my mother asked, "Ah Fen, I see that your flower shop is doing a good business." I guess there are a lot of girls who come to buy flowers, right?
I'm a smart guy. I immediately understood what my mom meant. Then, I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Mom, you won't let me introduce my brother, will you?"
"yes, that's what I meant. Ah Fen, please, please show your brother. It's okay, but it's a matter of mine that is on my mind. My mom put down her chopsticks and tilted her head to look at me.
It's my mom. Ginger is still old and spicy. I've been open for more than two years, so why didn't I think of it?
I'm warm-hearted. This is another lifelong event for my brother.
So, I didn't think about it, and patted my mother's chest: Mom, don't worry. Leave this matter to me, all right. I promise to marry my brother's daughter-in-law. After speaking, he urged my mother again: Mom, eat noodles quickly. Otherwise, it won't taste good.

I'm a man of action, and I started paying attention the next day. The girl who came to the store to buy flowers. I make small talk with them from time to time to keep informed.
Among the many girls, there was one that caught my eye. The girl's name is Gu Chen, and she works as an administrator in a nearby company. She has thick eyebrows and big eyes, fair skin, and is not tall, and she is a petite and cute type.
I opened at 7 a.m. and she was already waiting at the door. Taking advantage of the gap between wrapping flowers, I took the initiative to talk to her: Xiao Gu, look at you buying flowers every day. This flower is for my boyfriend, right?
She smiled and waved her hand: Sister Lin, no, I am single and bought it for myself.
My eyes lit up when I heard this, no, the opportunity has come! Continue to ask: Xiao Gu, I heard your accent like you are from other places. How old are you? Looking for a local boyfriend?
After speaking, Gu Chen smiled shyly: Sister Lin, I am 30 years old this year, and I am from Guizhou. What, you want to introduce me to someone?
I nodded like garlic, then took out my mobile phone and flipped through the photo album, and handed her my brother's photo: Xiao Gu, look, this is my brother, 5 years older than you.
She took it and looked at me: it didn't look bad. That's exactly what I wanted, and I wanted to marry a local. Shall we meet after work today?
I didn't expect Gu Chen to be so refreshing. I immediately agreed.
When she left, I called my mom and my brother separately.
In the evening, the four of us had dinner together. My brother and Gu Chen talked and laughed, chatting very speculatively. After the dinner, they added WeChat, and then fell in love.
A year later, my brother and Gu Chen got married.

I thought my job as a matchmaker was over. But no.
Falling in love and getting married and living life are two different things.
Falling in love pays attention to the sense of experience, how to be romantic. But life is different, more realistic.
After getting married, Gu Chen patronized my flower shop as always. When my brother found out, he was not happy, and proposed to Gu Chen: Wife, you don't have to buy this flower every day, and you can't eat it as a dish. It's fine to buy a few times once in a while. Let's save this money, or spend it on groceries and daily necessities.
got married and lost all of his only little hobby.
Gu Chen suddenly felt very aggrieved, pouted and replied: Husband, it won't cost a few dollars to buy flowers, and besides, vegetables can be compared with flowers. You don't support this hobby, don't you love me anymore? After saying that, she called me while crying and asked me to comment.
It is difficult for a Qing official to decide family affairs, not to mention this kind of small thing as big as a sesame mung bean. I don't fit either way.
So, I had to find a random excuse to prevaricate.
I didn't think this was just the beginning. What happened later was a pain in the head.

It is said that people are different before marriage and after marriage. But Gu Chen has not changed since marriage, and still enjoys a personal petty bourgeois life. Whether it is for food and drink, everything is the most expensive.
At first, it was supported by my brother's salary. After a long time, his salary couldn't stand the toss, so he asked me to borrow money every now and then.
I'm not against living a quality life. But you have to have that capital, too. I don't have any money, who will I show to a swollen face and a fat man?
For this reason, my brother and Gu Chen quarreled a lot. As soon as she talked about her, she either pretended to be Lin Daiyu and cried so much that she was crying, or she was looking for me to complain. Several times, I couldn't help it, so I reminded her that she had to be careful when it comes to spending money.
Gu Chen was good, not only did he not listen, but he also reversed right and wrong. I called her parents and cried, saying that our family looked down on her and was out of town and bullied her.
When her father heard this, he was so angry that he called my brother to warn him that if he didn't treat his daughter well, my brother wouldn't be able to eat and walk around.
In half a year, my brother has seen a lot of age. Every time I see my mother crying in front of me for my brother and Gu Chen arguing, I have mixed feelings in my heart, which is quite unpleasant.
Hey, I really regret it. At the beginning, the appearance of the picture was good, but now it is good, and life is a chicken feather. If I hadn't made an introduction, wouldn't these bad things have happened? Unfortunately, there are no ifs.

Others live happily day by day, but my brother endures day by day. Until recently, he couldn't take it anymore.
Gu Chen's younger brother was going to get married in the second half of the year, which was a very happy thing. I didn't think that Gu Chen proposed to my brother to sponsor her brother to buy a car for 100,000 yuan. Hearing this, my brother's joy disappeared in an instant.
He made a mistake: Wife, it's not that I don't sponsor our brother, it's that I really don't have any money. You know the situation in our family. I have that little salary, and my family's expenses are not small.
Gu Chen was so angry that he crossed his hands on his hips and pointed at my brother angrily: Lin Hua, then you didn't have a family before, where did your salary go? You can't even take out 100,000 yuan. Do you think the 100,000 yuan is for my brother? Do you know that this is giving you a long face?
At this time, my brother was angry and shouted: "Face, face, how big is the face for 100,000? Gu Chen, don't deceive people too much!"
Gu Chen was not to be outdone: I can't take out 100,000 yuan, what's the use of you? I've had enough of these aggrieved days!
My brother was stunned, and after a while, he spoke: I can't take out 100,000. Okay, then get a divorce!
Then he called me: Sister, life can't go on. I want a divorce, do you support it?
Without thinking, I replied to him: Brother, leave. I raise my hands in support!
In this way, my brother and Gu Chen went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register their divorce. A month later, the divorce certificate was obtained. The two have no property, let alone children, and they are happily divorced!
Since separating from Gu Chen, my brother has been refreshed and reborn, and he is like two people before.
It seems that this marriage is the right divorce!
Marriage should be done with caution.
A good marriage can nourish people, and bad ones will only drag people down.
I hope everyone can meet their beloved.
