Chapter 18: The Truth About Marriage
A week later, Xuan Ziyi successfully moved into the company's dormitory, although it was a six-person dormitory, but Xuan Ziyi was very satisfied. The people living in the dormitory are all post-90s like her, but she is the only one who is married and has children.
Her roommate, who is one year older than her, is called Qin Li, not tall, slightly fat, with a big and round face, single eyelids, small eyes, and a bit loud voice. She has been living in the dormitory for the longest time, a full year. She is working in the factory, the culture is not high, the work is hard, she has been working in the company for three years, and now she has been promoted to the team leader, and has been participating in the training arranged by the company.
The other four, except for one who was her age, were all younger than her. The three are all college students recruited by the company, and they are arranged to intern in the company's finance department, human resources department, and marketing department respectively. Students recruited by the school have always been the focus of the company, and they enjoy special care and arrangements during the internship period.
After Xuan Ziyi lived in the dormitory, she stayed in the office for longer and longer. A lot more time spent on work. Xie Dongli saw this in his eyes. She also intended to arrange more work for Xuan Ziyi, and Xuan Ziyi had no complaints.
"Why do you work so hard?" Xie Dongli once asked Xuan Ziyi.
"Sister Xie, I especially cherish the opportunity you can give me this job." Xuan Ziyi said what was in her heart, through getting along with these roommates, she knew that she had too many things to learn, and in terms of work experience and ability, she couldn't compare to her peers. In terms of youth and learning ability, she can't compare to the three college students who are younger than her. But when she knew that the salary of the fresh college students was higher than her after the internship period, she felt that she had lost too much by delaying more than a year in getting married and having a baby.
"Work is a long-term thing, there is no need to work hard. If you need me to raise your salary because of your financial difficulties, I will ask the company for a request. Xie Dongli couldn't guess the reason why Xuan Ziyi worked so hard, so it would naturally be attributed to economic reasons.
"Sister Xie, I think I want to raise my salary mainly because of what I did, not because of your sympathy." Xuan Ziyi understands the leader's thoughts, and she doesn't want to give her a raise because the leader takes care of herself.
"Okay, I see, don't work too hard." Xie Dongli patted her on the shoulder.
Xuan Ziyi nodded and continued to get busy with the work at hand.
He Jing came to see Xuan Ziyi twice in the month after she moved to the company's dormitory, one was to tell him about the progress of the renovation of his breakfast restaurant, and the other was to bring her some food. When He Jing came, he would always invite Xuan Ziyi to eat out and tell her some new ideas, but Xuan Ziyi just listened and did not express his opinion.
The roommates knew that Xuan Ziyi had a husband, and they were curious to ask her why she didn't live with her husband, and she said that it was a special period. It's hard for others to ask her again.
After a month together, Xuan Ziyi's relationship with her five roommates has improved.
Xuan Ziyi always thought that Qin Li was single, until one day she went back to the dormitory early and saw Qin Li crying, holding a photo in her hand when she cried. When she approached Qin Li, she saw that the photo was a photo of a young man. Xuan Ziyi sat beside Qin Li gently, handed her a tissue, and then gently hugged Qin Li.
Qin Li cried for a while, and after stopping, she handed the photo to Xuan Ziyi to see.
"Do you think he's handsome?"
"Handsome"
"I'll never see him again"
"He's gone abroad?"
"No, he's dead"
"Huh?"
"Car accident" Qin Li took the photo back into her hand and stroked it.
"It's a pity," Xuan Ziyi hugged Qin Li tightly.
"It's okay, it's his birthday, so the emotions are a little out of control." Qin Li wiped away her tears, stopped crying, and smiled at Xuan Ziyi again.
"How long?"
"It's been over a year"
"You love him very much," Xuan Ziyi looked at Qin Li so sadly.
"I was going to get married, but there was an accident before we got married, and we met and fell in love in the unit" Qin Li put the photo into the notebook and told Xuan Ziyi.
"You turned out to be colleagues?"
"Yes, by the way, how did you and your husband meet? Your husband looks older than you. Qin Li asked her curiously.
"We can also be regarded as colleagues," Xuan Ziyi didn't want to tell anyone about He Jing.
"I see that you are very indifferent to your husband, you don't want to live with him?" Qin Li was puzzled.
"No, just calm down" Xuan Ziyi really didn't think about it, she missed the child a little. But she knows that she is not yet able to take care of her children, and her parents will oppose her idea.
"Cherish it, I see that you are working in Xie Dongli's office." Qin Li asked Xuan Ziyi.
"Yes, she is my leader" Xuan Ziyi only knew that Xie Dongli had a sick baby, and knew very little about her.
"You don't know, Xie Dongli's ex-husband is the workshop director of our factory," Qin Li told Xuan Ziyi.
"I didn't care about her private affairs, and she didn't tell me." Xuan Ziyi wondered why Qin Li would know.
"Don't be surprised, my boyfriend was originally her husband's subordinate" Qin Li knew that Xuan Ziyi would be suspicious when she looked at Xuan Ziyi's expression.
"Ah, she's divorced?" Xuan Ziyi thought that should be the exact news.
"Yes, isn't she a little retarded? Her husband wants her to have another one, but she doesn't want to have one. So I left."
"But giving birth to a child is also the arrangement of fate, how can a woman be allowed to bear the consequences" Xuan Ziyi was a little sentimental. Thinking of He Jing's letting her have another child, she thought of why He Jing's ex-wife and He Jing divorced? She had never thought about it before, but when she learned about Xie Dongli, she had this idea.
"Actually, Xie Dongli's original husband is not worthy of her at all, Xie Dongli is a doctor, and her previous husband has a college degree" Qin Li was also a little indignant for Xie Dongli. As women, it is inevitable that there will be encouragement.
"A woman's fate cannot be controlled by a man," Xuan Ziyi sighed.
"It's difficult, it's difficult for a woman to remarry with a mentally retarded child, her husband married another one not long after the divorce, and now she has a baby. Do you know who his husband remarried? Also colleagues in our company. Qin Li pretended to be mysterious.
"Oh" Xuan Ziyi didn't deliberately inquire, she knew what Qin Li wanted to say, so she would naturally tell her.
"I've already left my job and gone home to take care of my children, so you won't see them anyway." Qin Li didn't say any more, smiled and stopped.
"Oh" Xuan Ziyi listened to Qin Li's words and began to sympathize with Xie Dongli.
Marriage is sometimes a gamble for women, and no woman knows what kind of man she will marry and what kind of children she will have. Because the man married and the children born to them bind the fate of women, once the essence of a man being a deserter in marriage is exposed, a woman has to make herself strong!
