2010 You Yi, I want a divorce
The shop assistant quickly handed the bowl that nie qiuping had brought over to Qin Hanshi with both hands.
He played with it for a while, then put it in a brocade box and took it away.
……
Nie qiuping brought qingsi to a clean but small restaurant. The mother and daughter ordered two or three dishes.
Although he had money now, there were still many days in the future where he would need it.
"Qingsi, when you get home, don't tell anyone that we've been to the county," nie qiuping said to qingsi."And don't let anyone know that we've sold a bowl, understand?"
Qingsi nodded."Don't worry, mom. I know. I can't let anyone else know."
Although qingsi was young, she knew very well that not many people in the village were good to her and her mother.
The reason was simply because their mother was pretty. Those women would always tell their children not to play with her. Qingsi knew this herself.
She wouldn't tell anyone that her family was rich.
"Be good and eat. After you eat, mommy will take you to buy clothes."
Qingsi was so happy that her legs were shaking on the bench.""Wow, I have new clothes to wear."
In the village, the other families would have new clothes to wear during the new year and other festivals. However, in her memory, there were very few new clothes to wear. They would always wear the clothes that her aunt had left behind.
Qingsi felt that this was the happiest day of her life.
After dinner, nie qiuping first took qingsi to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
The Civil Affairs Bureau had a special consulting office. After nie qiuping sat down, she looked troubled. After hesitating, she still asked,""Hello, comrade. I'm here to ask about the divorce."
In the 1990s, in an underdeveloped County, divorce was a very embarrassing thing. Few people would divorce, unless they really couldn't live anymore.
The clerk sitting across from him was a young girl. She was dressed fashionably and seemed to have just started working.
Before nie qiuping sat down, she did not even look at her. When she heard her mention divorce, she raised her head curiously,""What, you want a divorce?"
"Yes ..." Nie qiuping bit her lip and nodded."I want to ask about the divorce."
"Then tell me why you got a divorce. Where's your husband? "
" Qingsi, " nie qiuping said to qingsi, " you can play at the door first. Mommy will be out in a bit. Don't run around, okay? "
Qingsi nodded. " I know, mom. "
After her daughter left, nie qiuping said, " " My husband hasn't come back for two or three years. I should say, ever since I married him, I’ve only seen him less than ten times. I feel like I’m a widow. He married another woman in the city and has a son and a daughter. All these years, I’ve been helping him take care of his parents and aunt. You can see it from my daughter and my clothes. Our family is so poor that we can't even feed ourselves. But all these years, I haven’t seen him give a single cent to the family. I didn’t know that I was following him. What's the point of that? "
Nie qiuping knew that in this place, she had to make the other party sympathize with her when she talked about divorce. Otherwise, other people would only look down on her from the bottom of their hearts.
After nie qiuping finished explaining the situation at home, the young woman was furious.""He's really a scumbag. That means that he cheated on you not long after you got married. Why did you only think of divorce after so many years?"
Nie qiuping lowered her head and said,"I ... I didn't know that he had already formed another family outside. I still had some fantasies about him.“
