Part 28 Daddy
Due to the surge in divorces after the epidemic, the business of Rose Appointment Marriage Agency has been particularly good these days, with more than a dozen customers visiting every day, and there are more men than women among the marriage seekers who come, which makes it difficult for Spiegel to strike a balance.
It's time to end in the afternoon, the customers have left, and Spiegel is packing up the information filled out by the customers and preparing to close. Just as he was about to reach out and pull the shutter door down, a man suddenly came.
"Boss lady, the door will close later, I want to get married!" The man stepped forward and held the roller shutter door with his hand.
Spiegel looked the other person up and down, and saw that the man was in his thirties, with a medium-high build, wearing a new white shirt on the upper body and old gray pants on the bottom. Although the hair is not long, it is a little messy, the complexion is yellow, and he wears a pair of short-sighted glasses, and his whole appearance gives the impression that he is not good at taking care of himself.
"It's too late today, you can come back tomorrow." Spiegel was tired and hungry.
"I finally found some time to come to your marriage, you just wait for me to finish before closing the door!" The other side was almost pleading.
"Alright, then come in." Spiegel had no choice but to let him into the house.
Without waiting to sit down, he took out a few hundred-dollar bills: "I entrust you to introduce me to someone, I need to pay the money first, right?" ”
"You fill in the information first, and then write down the requirements for choosing a mate, and I'll see if you can take this job first." Spiegel handed him the information form.
"I don't have time to fill out the form here, I left the child alone at home, I have to go back quickly after I pay you the money." This one looked anxious.
"If you don't fill in the information, how can I find it for you? Otherwise, you add my WeChat, and when you go back, tell me about your situation on WeChat, and the money can also be transferred to me on WeChat. Spiegel came up with a solution.
"Very good, adding WeChat on the Internet will not affect my ability to watch the child." This person quickly took out his mobile phone and added Spiegel as a friend face-to-face, and then left in a hurry.
In the evening, the man passed his personal information to Spiegel on WeChat.
The information reads: Du Zhong, 28 years old, private company technician, divorced, has a house, a mortgage, no car, a monthly income of about 5,000, and a one- or two-year-old son alone. Looking for a lady of a similar age and a kind life as a companion. Do not disturb those who pull down the line of various pyramid schemes, capital operations, etc.
This Du Zhong alone with such a small son is equivalent to a long-term and heavy burden, and it is particularly difficult to find a partner in this situation. In general, divorced families, if the children are too young, the children are with the woman. Why would he take the child? This made Spiegel a little puzzled, and in order to learn more about the situation in order to help him find a suitable woman, Spiegel wanted to talk to him by voice.
As soon as the voice was connected, Spiegel heard the baby's voice calling for its mother first, and then Du Zhong spoke.
Eucommia: Hello, hello! I picked up the phone and my son thought he was going to talk to his mother.
Spiegel: Excuse me?
Du Zhong: It's okay, it's okay. You've seen all the personal information I just sent you, right?
Spiegel: I see, but I see that what you wrote is like a word on a marriage website, and you are still registering on the website for marriage, right?
Du Zhong: yes, because I'm in a hurry to find a daughter-in-law.
Spiegel: Be cautious when choosing a second mate, it's not a hurry.
Du Zhong: No, no, no way.
Spiegel: Is it because of your son?
Du Zhong: Well, because I have to take my son, I can't go to work normally, I can't earn money if I don't go to work, and I can't pay off the mortgage if I don't earn money.
Spiegel: How are you doing with your online marriage solicitation?
Du Zhong: The day after my ex-wife left home, I paid for marriage on the Internet, and so far no one has written to me, I have sent hundreds of letters to some ladies, and only a few have replied, but none of them have talked to me about marriage.
Spiegel: So what are they talking about?
Du Zhong: One of them is in Guilin, and her voice is from the Northeast, and when I ask her if she is from Heilongjiang. She said that she was engaged in property in Guilin and made a lot of money, so she asked me to go to Guilin to meet her and then work hard together in Guilin. But I said that my child was too young to go, so she then deleted me and didn't even say goodbye.
Spiegel: She must have lied to you about property management, deceived you, and when you went, they let you engage in pyramid schemes.
Du Zhong: Really? Thankfully, I wasn't fooled.
Spiegel: Anyone who is a foreigner in Guilin and asks you to meet there is basically a pyramid scheme. They don't have relatives and friends to deceive, so they go online to deceive, and they especially like to cheat in the name of marriage on the marriage website, because marriage applicants are often easy to accept conversations with strangers of the opposite sex.
Du Zhong: Oh, that's right.
Spiegel: I see that you say you refuse pyramid schemes, so you should know that.
Du Zhong: I read that other people wrote about marriage, and I wrote it like this. Some of them are not MLM, and they don't add me to WeChat private chat, but just politely say: "I'm sorry, we are not suitable!" ”
Spiegel: It must be because you have a burden with your son, plus you have a mortgage burden. If you don't write this, you'll be writing more.
Du Zhong: I originally thought that there were so many divorced single women on the Internet, and there would always be people who took a fancy to me, but I didn't expect to meet any of them.
Spiegel: You should know that women nowadays are generally very realistic.
Du Zhong: Of course I do.
Spiegel: Isn't there anyone to watch your children now?
Du Zhong: My father has a cerebral thrombosis, and my mother has to serve my father, so I can't ask my mother to help me take care of the children. I feel guilty enough that I didn't take care of my father! Before the divorce, I thought that I could hire a nanny to help me take care of the children after the divorce, but later I learned that hiring a nanny is so expensive that I can't afford to hire one at all.
Spiegel: Nowadays, the elderly can't count on their children at all, so it's good not to cause trouble.
Du Zhong: I can't find it on the Internet, so I have to ask you to find it for me.
Spiegel: Why did you want to have children in the first place, not your ex-wife?
Du Zhong: On the one hand, because my son is a single person, I can't say anything to let her take my son away, and she can understand. On the one hand, she wants to live a two-person world with her step-husband.
Spiegel: So you've already found your ex-wife?
Du Zhong: They used to be together a lot before she and I were divorced.
Spiegel: Oh, that's right! However, now many people divorce because the other party cheated, but no one has ever said that it was caused by their own cheating.
Is it because of this that you got divorced?
Du Zhong: Sort of.
Spiegel: How did you know she was cheating?
Du Zhong: Since you asked these questions, I'll start from the beginning. Her name is Li Hui, and she is a college classmate with me.
I started a relationship with her in my sophomore year, and during the summer vacation, we traveled to Wutai Mountain together, and we stayed in a hotel in the tourist area that night.
Spiegel: Is this the first time you've been together?
Du Zhong: It's my first time. I was red-faced and bare-eared, but she was quite calm. I was so excited that I didn't think much of it. But a few days later, when I asked her, it didn't seem like it was the first time, and she lowered her head and confessed.
Spiegel: Do you mind?
Du Zhong: People say that when you are young, you will inevitably behave irrationally.
Spiegel: Actually, young people don't pay much attention to these things now, only those who are born in the 60s and upwards pay attention to them.
Du Zhong: When she was in her junior year, her family had an accident, and her father lost money in a transaction, and he had no money to pay for her tuition, fees, and living expenses, so I took her home to meet my parents and told her about her lack of money. Seeing that she was my love interest, my parents began to save money to cover the expenses of me and her, and supported her to go through college like me.
Spiegel: What did your parents do before? Are they all retired?
Du Zhong: My father used to be a worker in a state-owned enterprise and is now retired, while my mother used to work for others and pay her own social security.
Spiegel: It wasn't easy for your parents to send you two to college in the first place!
Du Zhong: After graduating from university, she went to work for a trading company, and I came to the current private factory.
Spiegel: When did you get married?
Du Zhong: After two years of work, I found that she was a little too close to the boss of her company, and I was afraid of losing her, so I asked for marriage. She actually disliked me a little at that time, but because she owed my family a lot of affection, she agreed to get married.
Spiegel: She and their boss?
Du Zhong: Their boss is 15 years older than her and often drives her out.
Once, she didn't come back until nearly twelve o'clock in the evening. His face was red, and even his ears and neck were red! From the moment he entered, he lowered his head and spoke in a small voice like a mosquito.
Spiegel: Did you ask her? What happened?
Du Zhong: I didn't dare to ask, I was afraid that she would say something.
Spiegel: You have such a good temper that ordinary men can't bear it!
Du Zhong: At that time, I did feel very angry, but I thought to myself that if I really fried the pot, what could I do besides being embarrassed? I don't want to lose her!
Spiegel: And what about later?
Du Zhong: Then we had a common son, and I thought she would be able to take her heart back, but ......
Spiegel: She can't change it?
Du Zhong: Can't change it!
Spiegel: What about you?
Du Zhong: My son is still so young, and I want to live with her for the sake of my son, but at this time, their boss and the boss divorced!
Spiegel: So your ex-wife ......?
Du Zhong: She cried several times, hesitated for a month, and finally filed for divorce despite my retention!
Spiegel: Is she willing to give up her child?
Du Zhong: She said that even if you don't get divorced, it won't be good for your children if you don't get divorced.
Spiegel: Well, women are sometimes irrational.
Du Zhong: I went through the divorce procedures with her last fall, but because she couldn't worry about her son and caught up with the epidemic, she didn't leave home until last month.
Spiegel: Did she come to see the children after she left home?
Du Zhong: I've been here two more times, but I don't want her to come to see the kids again.
Spiegel: Why?
Du Zhong: I think that my son is young now and doesn't remember, if I find a kind woman, I can raise him as my own son, and my son can also treat her as my own mother, which will be good for my son's mental health in the future. But if the ex-wife comes to see the son for a long time, it will be difficult for the son to accept the new mother.
Spiegel: You're right, but does your ex-wife agree?
Du Zhong: She was embarrassed, but she agreed.
At this time, Spiegel heard the cry of the child from the opposite side, so he asked: Your son is hungry, hurry up and give him something to eat.
After a while, after the child's crying stopped, Du Zhong said: I soaked some biscuits in hot milk for my son, and it was fine.
Spiegel: It's hard for a big man with such a small child to be for you!
Du Zhong: I've only been bringing it for a month, and I know how difficult it is for a mother to raise a child!
Spiegel: yes! But I now understand why you're in such a hurry to find a partner, and I'll do my best to help you get married as soon as possible!
Du Zhong: If you help me find it, I will thank you very much! By the way, how much should I pay as an agent?
Spiegel: Seeing that you are old and young, and you are an honest person, the intermediary fee is free for you!
Du Zhong: How's that going to work? You are doing business, and you have to pay rent and taxes, you can't help me for nothing!
Spiegel: I've been doing a good business lately, so I'm not short of your money alone, so be it, good night!
Spiegel hung up the voice after speaking, but then saw Du Zhong's WeChat transfer, and she didn't accept it.
