It all started with a photo.

Wang Jing and Chen Hong have holidays every year, and the school organizes teachers to travel during the holidays, but at most they go out for ten days and a half months, and most of the time they stay at home. Chen Hong mainly does one thing at home, which is to play mahjong, she likes to play cards with a few fixed neighbors and sisters in the yard, and in addition to preparing for classes during the holidays, the rest of the time is basically spent on the mahjong table.

But Wang Jing is different, she likes to be clean, and every holiday, she will clean up the house several times and be spotless. She doesn't agree with Chen Hong's hobbies, and she doesn't know at all.

When the winter vacation was about to end, Wang Jing had to pack up the clothes in the house as usual, the winter had passed, the weather was getting warmer, and the winter clothes needed to be washed.

Du Qiang has a very old coat, which has been kept in the far corner of the wardrobe, and Wang Jing rarely sees him wear it. The coat looks outdated, but the texture and material are not bad, and it must not be cheap when I bought it. Although Du Qiang has also moved in winter, he still needs to wash it, but that kind of clothing should be taken to the laundry outside to clean up.

Wang Jing deliberately flipped through the pockets of her coat and found a bulging handbag. Wang Jing opened it and looked at it, there were only a dozen train tickets from different periods, all of which were going to Tianjin, but the time spanned seven or eight years. The most important thing is that in the middle of a stack of tickets is a photo of a girl who looks to be in her twenties, with clear eyebrows and a straight logo. Wang Jing's head was stunned all of a sudden, in her impression, Du Qiang had not worn this coat, and of course she would not have noticed what was hidden in the pocket of her clothes. She took a closer look at the time printed on the ticket, the most recent one was a month before they got married.

Wang Jing put her handbag in her coat pocket intact, she didn't do anything that day, and spent the whole day thinking about how to deal with it.

She first imagined the story behind the ticket and the photos, but she couldn't figure it out. I had never heard Du Qiang say that he had any relatives or acquaintances in Tianjin, and he went there very frequently and regularly, so it must be a relatively close relationship. It can be seen from the time of the train ticket that the frequency of his going there was relatively high at first, and then gradually widened the time distance. The key is that kind of photo, I don't know if it has anything to do with the ticket? Maybe it's just to see the girl? Wang Jing pondered for a long time as if she was solving a case.

The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes, and I can't figure it out. But what made it clear to her was that Du Qiang must have some ulterior secret hiding from her, and this behavior was exactly what made her the most taboo.

She thought about it all day without results, and finally thought of Chen Hong. She had to talk to Chen Hong about it, or she would suffocate to death.

"Is there anything wrong with you? Let's meet. ”

"What about playing mahjong, what's the matter?"

"Important, now I'll go to you."

"I play mahjong, I can't get out."

"Gotta come out!"

"I've lost a lot of money, I've got to win it back."

"Say as much as you want, I'll give it to you."

"What the hell is going on? Have you made a fortune? ”

"Don't talk nonsense, bother, I'll go over now, and I'll wait for you at the restaurant opposite your house."

Without waiting for Chen Hong to say anything, Wang Jing hung up the phone.

They met at a restaurant near Chen Hong's house, where they were every time. Wang Jing specially brought the handbag with her.

"It's so annoying, it's a good time, what's the matter?"

Chen Hong sat down and found that Wang Jing's state was wrong, she didn't wear makeup, her eyes were red, as if she had just cried.

"What's wrong?"

Wang Jing showed Chen Hong the ticket and photos, and told Chen Hong about the situation.

"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, wasn't it just a few tickets, and an old photo. But this woman is really beautiful, but she's too small, the previous photos. ”

"Are you serious? Is this a joke? ”

"What do you think? Du Qiang has an extramarital affair? ”

"I don't know, there's going to be something going on here."

"I'll give you an idea, you go back and secretly throw away the ticket and photos, and throw them directly to the garbage station, so that he can't find it."

"Well, that's all evidence."

"What evidence, you still have to solve the case?"

"I've got to figure things out anyway, I can't just get over it."

"Then ask Du Qiang directly and let him explain to you what's going on."

"No, I need to find out first."

"That's right, you investigate first, get more evidence, and then get all the stolen goods."

"Are you serious? I'm sick of it. ”

"If I just ask Du Qiang directly, where do you go to find evidence, who knows what is going on except him? What's the use of your own crankiness, only he can give you the answer. ”

"I'll think again."

"Or you don't mention anything, and you say the last time he went was before you got married? Is it the last goodbye to go. Maybe that's it? ”

"Why do you still have tickets and photos?"

"It's also ha. Don't worry, Du Qiang won't do anything bad, you have to believe the masses, who hasn't clicked on the past, whose youth is not romantic? It's all like you, fool. ”

"You roll, play your mahjong and go."

"By the way, you said to give me money, I lost more than 300."

"Think beautifully."

"Then you settle the food money, and I'll go back and continue fighting. Bye. ”

The meeting with Chen Hong made Wang Jing's mood a little better, but it did not solve the problem, and the discussion had no result, and there would be no result. Chen Hong is right, only Du Qiang can explain this matter.

So, Wang Jing thought about it for two days, and finally decided to ask Du Qiang for clarification.

Before Wang Jing finally asked Du Qiang, she also considered the two suggestions put forward by Chen Hong, this way of behavior is the most in line with Wang Jing's characteristics, from school to work, she encounters anything like this, very careful consideration again and again, but in fact, all the considerations are carried out in one direction, consideration is just a process, and in the end what she wants to do is almost no different from what she initially chosen.

threw the photos and tickets directly, this is not her style, she thinks it is a bit stealing to do that, if Du Qiang asks one day, she still has to explain that she was not wrong, it was Du Qiang's problem, and she became the wrong party to do so.

Hiding this matter, not mentioning or asking, it seems to be quite in line with her character, but this matter is a big deal for her, it is something that touches her bottom line, if the ending of this matter is really as bad as she imagined, it will hurt her if she doesn't say it, sooner or later she will have a problem, the cabinet where she puts a coat, she will see it every day, and she can't help but open it to look at the clothes, look at the wallet and ticket photos in the clothes, and she will go crazy in the long run.

She originally wanted to bring it up as tactfully as possible, and slowly find a topic to lead to this matter, but after thinking about it, she couldn't find a suitable topic, after all, Du Qiang's secrecy about this matter was too strict, and in the past few years of marriage, Du Qiang didn't have any clues, and he could see what he shouldn't do, even if the time shown on the stack of train tickets was before the marriage, it may be to Chen Hong that with their marriage, the previous things were broken.

That day, Wang Jing deliberately cooked a meal, and then packed the coat in a paper bag, and waited for Du Qiang to come back and eat first, although Wang Jing has been thinking about how to deal with this in the past few days, it has not affected her to do any housework, nor has she shown a little abnormal appearance in front of Du Qiang, she is just waiting for the last moment.

After eating, Du Qiang sat on the sofa and watched TV, Wang Jing washed the dishes, and reviewed the content and status of the conversation with Du Qiang.

She packed everything up, came to the living room with her clothes bag, and said to Du Qiang calmly:

"There's something I want to ask you."

"What's the matter?" Du Qiang put down the teacup.

Wang Jing put her clothes on the coffee table, opened it, and took out the handbag from her pocket.

"What is this?" Wang Jing was unusually calm.

Du Qiang was stunned for a moment, and immediately calmed down, he didn't answer immediately, but picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea slowly, and then put the teacup down again, during this time he was thinking about how to answer Wang Jing's question.

He didn't think about how to answer for a while, so he picked up his handbag and opened it, took out all the contents and put them on the coffee table. Wang Jing didn't say anything, waiting for him to answer, and this time lasted almost a minute or two, and the room was extremely quiet.

In the end, Du Qiang put down the ticket, keeping the photo in his hand, he looked at Wang Jing and sighed.

"She's my former girlfriend, and it's my first love. A long time ago, ten years ago. ”

"Then you still treasure her picture."

"I can't talk about treasures, I haven't thrown them away."

"We're both married, shouldn't this thing be thrown away?"

This was the first powerful sentence Wang Jing said to Du Qiang since they got married, and Wang Jing was a little scared in her heart. Du Qiang was also stunned.

"I met more than ten years ago, so why do you have to do it so desperately?"

"As your wife, am it embarrassing for me to make such a request?"

"It's very difficult."

When Wang Jing heard Du Qiang say this, she was so angry that she forgot all the words she had thought of in advance, but she didn't expect Du Qiang to answer her like this.

"Is she more important than me?"

"So to speak."

Wang Jing was completely devastated, and at this point, she didn't want to continue talking.

Seeing that Wang Jing was no longer talking, Du Qiang put the coat back on and put it in the closet. Then wash up and go to bed as if nothing had happened.

But Wang Jing stayed awake all night. She has been recalling what Du Qiang said, and she has kept every word in her heart. Unexpectedly, he actually thought that the woman was more important than his wife, so only by no longer being his wife could this matter be resolved, which was the result that Wang Jing thought of in a daze the next morning.
