Chapter 295: Old and Unlucky
Chapter 295: Old and Unlucky
Zhang Hui's mother looked up in shock: "Divorce? How come I didn't know anything about it?"
"We...just got a certificate and separated. Not many people knew about it."
Zhang Hui's mother slowly digested the news.
"Isn't it decades of deep affection and unforgettable love? How come they are separated after just a few years? Has her condition worsened?"
Zhang Hui's father seemed to have a lot to say, and since it was inconvenient with the people coming and going, he pulled Zhang Hui's mother to the chair next to them and sat down.
"It hasn't gotten worse. Her condition has been relatively stable over the years. It's just that... our personalities are not compatible."
Zhang Hui's father stammered, feeling it was difficult to speak.
The old tree blooms new flowers, and he rekindles his relationship with his first love and finally gets married, but he finds that everything has changed beyond recognition.
The girl with bright eyes and white teeth in my memory is completely different from the mean, troublesome and hysterical woman in front of me.
It turns out that first love is only suitable to appear in memories, and meeting it is not as good as missing it.
Zhang Hui's mother laughed out loud without any hesitation.
"Incompatible? How can it be more incompatible than between us? We have been treating each other with cold respect for more than 20 years."
Zhang Hui's mother was a teacher and was always sharp-tongued.
"Uh... it's not just a matter of a moment. You're cold and indifferent. She loves to quarrel. When she's unhappy, she'll make a scene. She'll have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days."
"Well, your life has suddenly become exciting. It's not like ours, which has been dull and stagnant for more than 20 years."
Zhang Hui's father lowered his head, and a strand of his gray hair, which had not been trimmed for a long time, drooped to his forehead.
"Actually...it's not stagnant. We have Huihui, and we still have a lot of happy times."
In recent years, he has been recalling the more than 20 years he has been married to Hong Min.
From the beginning, they had all kinds of friction and disputes. Their personalities and views on many things were too different to be compatible.
Eventually, we gradually became indifferent and distant.
But they had Huihui, their lovely daughter, as a bond between them. They were also willing to make sacrifices for their daughter, so they lived peacefully for so many years.
Their relationship is more like roommates. Only in front of Huihui are they husband and wife.
"Hong Min, I have been thinking about the old days a lot in recent years. I didn't know that home had actually become a part of my life. I didn't realize it."
Zhang Hui's mother had no interest in reminiscing about the past with him. She just felt that her curiosity was not satisfied and couldn't help but dig deeper.
"Then why did you get divorced? There must have been a trigger."
Zhang Hui's father wiped his face with both hands and pushed up the hair on his forehead, as if he was venting something in a self-mutilation way.
"During the Chinese New Year this year, I was taking a nap in my bedroom and heard her chatting with her two sons in the living room."
"She said that when she died, she would bury her ashes with their father so that it would be convenient for the children to pay their respects. She also said that the child's father was quite tolerant of her, better than me."
"Tsk tsk, your first love is really like having your cake and eat it too. You don't want to miss any bite of food."
Zhang Hui's mother tried hard to purse her lips, for fear of laughing out loud, which would be a bit unkind.
In fact, she had no ill feelings towards her ex-husband in the early days.
They broke up peacefully after years of disagreement. She sincerely hoped that he could spend his old age in peace so that Huihui would have less burden.
But that advertisement in the newspaper really disgusted her, and most importantly, it hurt her most precious daughter Huihui.
"I'm going to go back to see Huihui first. You can go back now. If you find a suitable partner, you can continue to look for one. There should still be true love in this world. The most beautiful thing is the sunset."
Zhang Hui's mother tried hard to suppress the corners of her mouth that were curled up, turned around and was about to leave, and Zhang Hui's father stood up as well.
"Hong Min, we...is there still a possibility for us? I thought about it for a long time and felt that we are actually quite compatible."
Zhang Hui's mother's face darkened. She turned around and looked coldly at the unkempt man in front of her.
"It's useless to think about it. It's impossible. I finally have a good life. I usually drink tea, go shopping, do beauty treatments, travel, and sing at the senior citizen university. My life is so beautiful."
"I have to find a lot of trouble to live with an ex-husband who I haven't been attracted to for more than 20 years, and go back to the boring life I endured for more than 20 years."
"If I have that much time, I might as well find a new old man to partner with. At least it will be a brand new life."
Zhang Hui's father's face turned pale, but he still tried to remind her: "Hong Min, don't think too much. It's not easy to find the right person."
Zhang Hui's mother sneered.
"If he's not suitable, I'll just kick him out. Anyway, I can live well on my own. Not every woman is like your first love, unable to live without a man."
"My ex-husband just died, and now that I have cancer, I have to find another one right away, and I have to announce it in the newspaper. Tsk tsk, how much I need a man in my life. It's really unlucky."
After Zhang Hui’s mother finished speaking, she turned around and walked away in a casual manner.
After taking two steps, she remembered something, looked back at the man who was standing there, and turned back.
"There's one more thing I need to make clear. After I die, I'll buy my own grave and I won't be buried with you. So, I suggest you quickly find a woman who's willing to be buried with you."
"Don't get so lonely over there that you can't stand it and put an ad in the newspaper to find a spouse or something, and let Huihui get hurt again. After all, you are very familiar with putting an ad in the newspaper."
After saying that, he thought about it briefly and felt that he had performed well and did not miss any key points, so he turned around and left happily.
My good days have just begun.
I just became a grandmother, and thinking about the joy of playing with my grandchildren in the future is so beautiful.
Zhang Hui's father looked at the increasingly elegant and free-spirited back and knew that the fate of this former couple who had never entered each other's hearts was completely over.
......
Zhang Hui saw her mother coming in through the gap in the crowd. She dodged and quietly put the red envelope in her hand into her bag.
She turned her eyes to look at her daughter.
She knew that the man had come, and her mother had quietly gone out and quietly come back with a red envelope. That was the only thing that happened.
......
Zhang Hui's mother took care of her during the confinement period. Mu Mingzhen and Tan Shuyuan hired a confinement nanny, and Mu Mingzhen also went there to help every day.
Xiao Yuzhang is very well behaved. He goes to sleep after eating and doesn’t make any noise.
Zhang Hui had plenty of milk, and after the confinement period, little Yu Zhang had become chubby and very cute.
On the day of the full moon banquet, Tan Wen looked at Xiao Yuzhang, whom he hadn't seen for a month, and was a little dumbfounded.
"Auntie, is this the sister from before? How come she has become so beautiful all of a sudden?"
Zhang Hui laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back.
"Tan Wen, was my sister ugly when she was born?"
Tan Wen was a little shy: "Hehe, it's not really ugly, just a little bit. But now it looks really, really good."
Turning around, he saw Tan Mu coming in. Tan Wen rushed over and hugged his thighs.
"Dad, you and mom will both participate in tomorrow's sports meet. The teacher said there will be a big trophy for the first place winner."
Tan Mu handed the bag in his hand to Wen Xin and picked up Tan Wen.
"Of course I will go. Dad has already arranged everything. I will go with Mom tomorrow. If the three of us join forces, we will definitely be invincible in your kindergarten."
"Dad is the best." Tan Wen cheered and gave Tan Mu a loud kiss on the face.
Tan Mu wiped the saliva off his face and teased him with a smile: "Then tell me, who is better looking, me or uncle?"
"Of course Dad is better looking. Uncle is not dark anymore."
