At the end of this year, Niu Tiangou and his wife Teresa Teng finally divorced.

Although it came suddenly, Niu Tiangou was not particularly surprised.

They divorced by agreement, without the conflict of property division and child support, and broke up unusually peacefully.

Because they have nothing but a small house in the vegetable market that still owes money, Teresa Teng doesn't want a penny of property, not even the 10,000 yuan she pays back - she doesn't care about that money now, she only asks to take her daughter, in fact, her daughter has been following her, and she is already in the first grade of primary school in Xianhai City.

The divorce was proposed by Teresa Teng after discussion, and Niu Tiangou hesitated for a while and agreed.

Because Teresa Teng is unwilling to give up her job in Xianhai, and Niu Tiangou can't go to Xianhai, he can't even leave his job without pay, and he doesn't want to work with Teresa Teng year after year.

He didn't want to live a life like his Cowherd father and Weaver Girl mother who only saw each other once a year, it was too painful and difficult.

It's strange to say that he went down to the heavenly realm to live a free, happy, and happy mortal life on earth, and he stayed with the people he loved and loved for a long time, how could he still not get rid of the same fate as the Cowherd's father and the Weaver Girl's mother in the end? Could it be that the fate of the underworld is really predestined by heaven?

Could it be that the dragon has a dragon life, the phoenix has a phoenix life, and the son of the cowherd can only have the fate of being separated from his wife?

It was the great-grandmother - the Queen Mother who caused the tragic fate of the Cowherd's father and the Weaver Girl's mother back then, it was those damned heavenly rules and precepts, it was the 18,000-mile-wide heavenly river, and now who caused the same fate as his wife? What are the rules and precepts of the "earth" that cause a river of "earth" to appear between them, which is separated by a thousand or hundreds of kilometers?

Could it be that the legends about heaven are a true portrayal of life on earth?

……

Teresa Teng's work in Xianhai began by helping her sister and brother-in-law's family cook and look at the store.

My brother-in-law owns two motorcycle shops, mainly engaged in the sale and repair of motorcycles. In addition to my sister and brother-in-law, there is also a group of apprentices who are helping to take care of it.

My sister and brother-in-law earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and their business can reach millions in good years. There are two houses, two cars (one delivery van and one car), and millions of deposits. These are things that Niu Tiangou can't earn from teaching for dozens of lifetimes.

Seeing that her sister and brother-in-law's business were too busy, after her daughter went to kindergarten, Teresa Teng began to help her sister sell motorcycles in the store, and her salary rose to more than 1,000 yuan.

My brother-in-law has a senior brother, also owns two motorcycle shops, has a house and a car, and has a solid family. Since seeing Teresa Teng, who is cheerful and lively, gentle and delicate, I am a little moved, and I often run to my brother-in-law's store when I have nothing to do, and I do everything possible to get close to Teresa Teng.

Of course, the brother-in-law and sister understand the senior brother's intentions, but they are not easy to say anything, neither support nor oppose, everything is up to the sister to decide.

For several years, Teresa Teng has been hesitant.

She didn't want to divorce, because when she chose Niu Tiangou, she took a fancy to his diploma, his knowledge, his profession, especially his good handwriting, handsome and elegant, never tired of looking at it, which is like her brother-in-law and that senior brother, the first Chinese, the few words written are crooked, ugly and dead.

Besides, she doesn't want to be a stepmother to other people's children, that kind of work is difficult to serve, and she is not a person inside and out. Besides, what about your children after divorce? She didn't want her children to be angry with others.

However, she looked back and thought about it, in this society, can a diploma be used as a ticket? Can a beautiful character be used as a house or a car? Can knowledge lead to a life of economic freedom?

His father has been a teacher all his life, isn't he so poor that he is tinkling? My brother has also taught for so many years, can he afford a house and a car? I'm afraid that the combined salaries of my father, brother, and Niu Tiangou for a lifetime will not be worth the income of my brother-in-law for three or two years.

After coming to this city for 5 years, she is completely familiar with the life of people in the city and sees the huge contrast between the city and the township.

She fully understood that wealth and poverty are not entirely determined by diplomas and knowledge, but by the differences between urban and rural areas, economic geographical location and occupations.

Look around, one of those people wearing brand-name clothes and going in and out of high-end restaurants is a township teacher? Is one of those who owns several properties and lives in a garden villa a township teacher? Is one of those who ride in luxury cars and idle luxury yachts a township teacher? No.

Men are afraid of choosing the wrong line, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man.

A man chooses the profession of teaching, and when he becomes a township teacher, he is destined to choose poverty, while a woman who chooses a poor teacher is destined to choose a life of poverty.

Seeing the prosperity and comfort in Xianhai City, she never wanted to go back to the remote and difficult countryside to farm. Thinking of the hard years in the wind and rain and mud and water with Niu Tiangou back then, she is really a little unbearable.

Better a finger off than always aching. Rather than going on for a long time, it is better to end the divorce as soon as possible, which may be a relief for both parties.

So after coming back from the Chinese New Year this time, she had the courage to file for divorce with Niu Tiangou.

She thought that Niu Tiangou would not agree and quarrel with her, but she didn't expect him to be surprisingly calm and agree.

Niu Tiangou only blamed herself for being poor, couldn't give her a better life, and couldn't give her a reason enough to continue to support her life from thousands of mountains and rivers.

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places. Since she has the heart to run to a high place, it is in vain to stop herself. The "soul" has flown away, can the body still be kept?

The gravitational pull of celestial bodies is in the size of mass, and the gravitational pull of men is in the amount of wealth.

She has a salary of more than 3,000 yuan a year, and she is poor, how can she wait like this? Leave it, sooner or later.

Poor couples mourn everything.

She didn't have any other requirements except for asking her daughter to follow her, she didn't want her daughter to suffer with Niu Tiangou.

Niu Tiangou knows his financial ability, although he is reluctant to give up his own daughter, he can only endure the pain of love.

Although I have a formal job, in front of a house, a car, and a ticket, the so-called formal job is bullshit.

The divorce was carried out quietly, and they did not let their parents and daughter know about it for the time being. They don't want their elderly parents to be sad, and they don't want their daughters to carry a psychological shadow prematurely.

Although they know that this will not be hidden for long, they hope that the parents and daughter will have a period of psychological buffer and transition.

When they went back to Niugang Village to visit their parents, their parents didn't ask them anything, because their parents knew that their daughter-in-law and granddaughter came back at this time every year, and they would go to Xianhai after the Chinese New Year.

After secretly completing the formalities in the town, they spent the last night together at their home in the vegetable market.

That night, Niu Tiangou's mind was wooden; That night, his wife hugged him all night.
