2018 was a year I will never forget. At that time, after years of hard work, I was finally promoted to department manager, and I was planning to build a love nest with my girlfriend Xiaofang, who had been in love for three years. However, an unexpected dispute has torn our future to shreds.
That day, I happily went to Xiaofang with the news of my promotion, wanting to share this joy with her. However, when I mentioned the matter of marriage, she opened her mouth and asked for a high bride price of 300,000 yuan. I was stunned, I didn't expect her to be so materialistic.
"Xiaofang, we have been together for so long, how can you fall out with me because of this bride price?" I said a little helplessly.
Xiaofang looked resolute: "I don't care, I want this bride price." Without a bride price, I won't marry you! ”
I smiled bitterly: "But, Xiaofang, you have to think about it for me." I've just been promoted, how can I have so much money for you as a bride price? ”
Xiao Fang snorted coldly: "That's your business, anyway, I just want the bride price." ”
We had an argument over it, and we ended up having a bad day. Unexpectedly, this decision changed our lives.
Soon after, Xiaofang married a man with a disability and reportedly gave her family a high bride price. And I, too, reluctantly accepted this reality and put all my energy into my work.
A few years later, I happened to learn from a friend that Xiaofang's husband treated her very badly, often abused her, and asked her to take care of his disabled brother. She had a miserable life.
One day, I met Xiaofang on the street. She is skinny and pale, where is she still as beautiful and lively as she was back then?
"Xiaofang......" I couldn't help but stop her.
She looked back at me and burst into tears: "You...... How are you doing? ”
I nodded, "It's okay." What about you? ”
Xiao Fang choked up and said, "I...... I regret it. Back then, I shouldn't have given up our relationship for that little bride price. ”
I was saddened: "However, there is no going back." ”
We are relatively speechless, and can only silently bear the arrangement of fate. At that moment, I understood that life is like a play, and drama is like life. We are all actors in this play, tricked by fate and unable to extricate ourselves.
To this day, I still think of Xiao Fang and the good times we had. And she also left a scar in my heart that will never heal. Perhaps, this is the so-called fate without separation.
Time flies, time flies. After that chance encounter on the street, Xiaofang's life and I returned to peace. However, that brief encounter was like a pebble thrown into the heart lake, stirring up layers of ripples.
One weekend, I walked alone along the river, looking at the sparkling river, and I couldn't help but think of Xiaofang again. At this time, the mobile phone suddenly rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hey, hello." I got on the phone.
Xiao Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone: "It's me, Xiao Fang." Are you convenient now? I want to meet you. ”
I hesitated, but agreed. We met at a café by the river.
When they met again, Xiaofang's face was a little more vicissitudes. We sat down by the window, and she looked at me and stopped talking.
"Xiaofang, what's wrong? Tell me anything. I encouraged her.
She bit her lip and finally mustered up the courage to say, "I want a divorce, but I don't know how." ”
I was stunned, I didn't expect her to make such a request. But I quickly calmed down and asked her, "Why?" Are you sure you've got it figured out? ”
Xiao Fang nodded: "Yes, I thought about it." I don't want to live like that anymore, I don't want to give my life to someone who doesn't value me. ”
I sighed: "Xiaofang, I know your situation is difficult, but I'm not a lawyer, and I don't know how to help you." Still, if you need to talk, I'm always here to listen to you. ”
A trace of gratitude flashed in Xiao Fang's eyes: "Thank you, really." I know I did something wrong, but I really regret it now. If we can, I hope we can start over. ”
I smiled wryly: "Start over? Easier said than done. We've all changed, and we're not the same people anymore. ”
Xiao Fang lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head and said with a determined gaze: "I know it's difficult, but I don't want to give up." For myself, and for the love we once had. ”
I was touched by her firmness, and an inexplicable courage surged in my heart. I shook her hand: "Okay, let's work together." Regardless of the outcome, at least we did our best. ”
Since then, we've been running around for Fang's divorce. Although the process is tortuous, we all firmly believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to get out of the predicament.
During those days, we supported and encouraged each other. It's like going back to the good old days. And Xiaofang gradually regained the smile of the year.
Finally, after going through countless tribulations, Xiaofang's divorce procedures were completed. That day, she hugged me and cried bitterly, as if she wanted to vent all her grievances.
And I, too, hugged her tightly, silently swearing in my heart that I would spend the rest of my life to make up for the happiness she had lost.
Life is like a play, and we are all actors in the play. Although fate has separated us, it has finally bound us together. This time, we will cherish each other and no longer let love slip through our fingers.
In the days after the divorce, Xiaofang seemed to have a new life. We plan for the future together, carefully exploring each other's hearts. I took her back to the place where we had dated, and those familiar surroundings brought back countless memories for us.
One day, we were on a park bench, watching the sun set, and Xiaofang suddenly asked me, "If we hadn't been separated back then, what would it be like now?" ”
I smiled and replied, "Maybe we already have children and live an ordinary and happy life." ”
She snuggled up in my arms and said with emotion, "I really want to make up for those lost moments." ”
"Then let's make every minute and every second from now on." I gently stroked her hair.
As time passed, Xiaofang's condition got better and better, and she began to participate in various interest classes and regained her enthusiasm for life. Under her influence, I also learned to put down my work and enjoy life.
However, life likes to inadvertently create problems for us. That day, Xiao Fang suddenly received a call from her ex-husband, and his tone was threatening: "Xiao Fang, if you leave me, you will regret it." I'm not going to let you get better. ”
Xiao Fang's face instantly turned pale, she held her phone tightly, and her body trembled. I took the phone and calmly told her ex-husband: "It's illegal for you to do this, and I advise you to stop doing this." ”
The voice on the other end was silent for a moment, then hung up.
I hugged Xiaofang tightly and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." No matter what happens, I will be there for you. ”
Xiao Fang's tears slid down my chest, and she choked up and said, "Why does he still come to disturb our lives? ”
I gently wiped away her tears: "Because he can't let go of the past, but we have to face it bravely." Trust me, everything will be fine. ”
In order to protect Xiaofang, I contacted a lawyer and took legal action to deal with her ex-husband's threats. In those days, we lived cautiously, but supporting each other made us stronger.
Finally, under the protection of the law, Xiaofang's ex-husband stopped harassing us. Our lives gradually returned to peace, but that experience made us cherish each other even more.
One day, on Xiaofang's birthday, I proposed to her: "Xiaofang, I am willing to accompany you through every step of your life, whether it is ups and downs or sunny days." Will you marry me? ”
Xiao Fang smiled with tears in her eyes and nodded: "I am willing." ”
We hugged each other tightly and started our new life with the blessings of family and friends. I know that this time, we won't let love slip away again. We will move forward hand in hand and face every challenge in the future together.
After we decided to get married, Xiaofang's face was filled with happiness. Together, we choose our wedding dresses and plan our wedding, and every detail is filled with our vision for the future.
However, just as we were preparing for our wedding, an unexpected challenge lay ahead of us. Xiao Fang's ex-husband suddenly disappeared, and some of his friends began to look for him everywhere, and some even wondered if Xiao Fang knew his whereabouts.
I am very worried about this situation. I'm worried that Xiaofang will be implicated and that our wedding will be disrupted. I decided to find her ex-husband with Xiaofang and figure out the truth of the matter.
After some investigation, we finally found the residence of Xiaofang's ex-husband. He looked decadent, and his eyes revealed deep pain. He looked a little surprised to see us.
"Xiaofang, why are you here?" He asked, stammering.
Xiao Fang looked at him calmly: "I'm here to tell you that we have decided to get married." I hope you can bless us. ”
A trace of complicated emotions flashed in Xiao Fang's ex-husband's eyes, and he nodded: "I know, I already knew." You'll be happy, Fang. ”
There was a sense of relief in his words, and I felt a little relieved. It seems that he has begun to accept the reality and hopes that Xiaofang can be happy.
When we left, Xiaofang's ex-husband looked a little lonely. I gently held Xiao Fang's hand, and she glanced back, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
Back home, Xiaofang said to me, "Actually, I always hope that he can live well. After all, we've had good times at one time too. ”
I hugged her tightly: "Xiaofang, you are a kind person. I'm sure your ex-husband will understand you. ”
At our wedding, Xiaofang's ex-husband did not show up. But we received a letter from him in which he wished us happiness and said that he would start his life again.
After the wedding, we started a new life. We travel together, we explore the joys of life together, and every day is full of laughter. We supported each other, relied on each other, and spent countless wonderful times together.
However, life is always full of unknowns. One day, Xiaofang suddenly felt unwell, and after an examination, the doctor told us that she was pregnant. The news surprised and nervous us at the same time, and we began to prepare for the new life that was about to come.
In this special period, Xiaofang's ex-husband reappeared in our lives. He offered to help us and offered to be a godfather to our children.
I was a little hesitant, but seeing the anticipation in Xiaofang's eyes, I decided to accept his kindness. The three of us worked together to prepare for the arrival of our children, which brought our relationship even closer.
Eventually, our child was born, a healthy and lovely baby. Looking at the baby's immature face, our hearts are full of gratitude and joy. We understand that although life is full of challenges, as long as we support and rely on each other, we will be able to overcome all difficulties and meet a bright future.
