Chapter 50 Different Interests Husbands and wives go their separate ways
a)
After Zhu Yuliang hurriedly washed and scrubbed, he turned off the lights and went upstairs. She wanted to lie down on the bed and pretend to be asleep before Wen Yuanfang entered the door, and then think about what she and her daughter should do in the future without being disturbed.
She looked out through the screen window, and the acacia flowers on the tree were dense and wilting, and there was no sound, as if they didn't know that she was full of thoughts, and they were blindly there to keep their eyes on the ground.
A comb of the moon clearly reveals its own light and outline, hanging generously in the royal blue night sky, like a woman who has been trained, no longer ashamed of her inadequacy.
The insects in the grass of Tongxin Pavilion are talking at night with trivial things; The frogs from nowhere were working in unison, and the sound was as hard as if they were being boiled and roasted; A few stars swim to and fro, not like flying, like floating in the thick air; In the dark place where the moonlight is not visible, a little firefly flickers on and off, like a small blue eye blinking on a summer night......
Hearing footsteps from far and near, Zhu Yuliang turned off the lamp. First, Chen Meijuan's small and somewhat messy footsteps, and not long after, it was the sound of Wen Yuanfang's well-trained "click" walking......
Wen Yuanfang saw that his home was pitch black, and he was a little puzzled, thinking that the study meeting of the Material Bureau was longer than that of the Commercial Bureau? When he opened the door, he glanced over the shoe rack and saw that his wife was already home.
Tonight, he's in a good mood. He only wrote a few outlines in his hand, and he gave a speech for more than two hours, and attracted applause again and again from the audience. He seemed to have regained the feeling he had when he was a cultural teacher in the army, when whenever it was his turn to go to class, both the big chief and the little soldier stared at him with admiration and admiration...... He felt that he was born to be an orator, and he was born to be a leader; As long as he is given a foot of podium, he can spread his thoughts and wisdom to all directions and interpret his life in a brilliant way......
However, the thought of his wife's lukewarm attitude towards him over the years made him as depressed as a deflated ball. He felt that he could be lofty and upright in front of anyone, but in front of his Yuliang, he always seemed to be lacking in confidence and losing three points.
For so many years, Wen Yuanfang has been working hard to shorten the gap between space and thought between himself and his wife. Now the spatial gap is gone, but the ideological gap is getting bigger and bigger.
He always wants his wife to work hard to learn the theory of the system, keep up with the situation, and keep up with his pace; But his wife apparently no longer admired him, and had no patience to listen to his tirades; His words had failed, and saying more would only lead to a family war, so now his communication with his wife has become more and more cautious and concise. As for those "minefields", he didn't dare to touch them easily, lest he accidentally step on the "minefields" and blow up his marriage.
"After all, Yuliang and I have come to this point because of the big age gap and the big difference in values between life and educational backgrounds. If it were Sun Lei, the communication between us would not be so difficult. Alas! Either way, it's always what I owe Yuliang, and I have to find a way to make it up to her. Maybe only by moving out of Tongxin Pavilion will my relationship with her be slowly repaired! ”

Wen Yuanfang tiptoed upstairs, didn't even dare to turn on the lights, took off his shirt and trousers, and got into the mosquito net. He noticed that his wife's breathing did not sound like she was asleep, so he gently pushed her and asked softly, "Liang, are you asleep?" ”
"Nope!" Zhu Yuliang replied coldly.
"You came back early today!"
"We didn't have a meeting today, so we canceled it at the moment."
"Huh? So what have you been doing for so long? ”
"I'm chatting at my brother's house."
"Isn't Teacher Chen also studying at school?" Wen Yuanfang asked vigilantly.
"Yes, it's just me and Brother Zhiguo." Zhu Yuliang replied without blushing and without a heartbeat.
With a "click", Wen Yuanfang turned on the light, sat up, and bounced back like a ball that had been inflated again.
"I said you're pretty much done! Are you still serious about your brother and sister? You can ignore my feelings or gossip, but you always have to take care of Chen Meijuan's feelings, right? Isn't she your good sister? If she has an idea, how will you face her in the future? ”
"My fate with Brother Zhiguo is still long! What do you mean by almost? He and I are going to be relatives for the rest of our lives! We are serious brother and sister. You think we're going to be as bored as you are, fighting and joking with each other. If you have an idea, you have an idea, okay, don't get involved with Sister Meijuan! Zhu Yu Liangli replied without losing his breath.
"It's getting late, and I can't tell you for a while. You give me a clear word today, when exactly do you plan to move out of the Harmony Pavilion?"
"I'm not moving! Why should I move? I'm used to living here, and it's so close to work. ”
"You're reluctant to be here, aren't you?" Wen Yuanfang asked angrily.
"Yes! I can't bear to see Brother Zhiguo, Sister Meijuan, and Sister Yuelan and Brother Li Fan moving back sooner or later. I'm afraid of life, so I don't want to move to your compound as a cadre of the Commercial Bureau; lest you be hunted down and killed again, and Jingjing and I don't even have anyone to take care of. "Zhu Yuliang is obviously fully prepared for tonight's grinding war.
"Yuliang! Didn't I say that the bloody faction fights are over? It won't be like this again. You will also meet new neighbors in the compound of the cadres of the Commercial Bureau; Besides, if you move out of here, you can still come here in the future! Wen Yuanfang persuaded in a soothing tone.
"Do you think I'm going to meet a bunch of neighbors who are desperate to rescue our mother and daughter? Do you think I'm so lonely that I need to find a few acquaintances to hang out and gossip? Do you understand the sense of security that comes when you're walking in the dark and suddenly someone turns on a street light to show you the way? Do you understand the fear of being shot at gunpoint in a hot bed? Do you know the feeling of dependence that comes when a woman is in childbirth knowing that there is a man who is always at the door? Do you understand the feeling of swelling and pain caused by a woman's blocked milk ducts and the loss of not being able to breastfeed her own flesh and blood? Zhu Yuliang's series of rhetorical questions exploded like a cannon that made Wen Yuanfang dumbfounded and froze on the bed.
After a while, Wen Yuanfang put on his trousers and shirt, broke the mosquito net, got out, and sat on a chair in front of the bed. The two of them were silent, as if the air had frozen, and only the croaking of frogs and insects outside the window was still playing enthusiastically......
(c)
After a long time, Wen Yuanfang asked, "You mean you don't plan to move." So what do I do next? ”
Zhu Yuliang was still lying facing the inner wall, and replied coldly: "You can continue to come to Tongxin Pavilion!" ”
"I don't think I'm welcome in Tongxin Pavilion, it's superfluous for me to come here."
"If you think so, I can't help it."
"What if I don't want to come to Tongxin Pavilion?"
"That's up to you! Anyway, you have always come to this home when you want to, and you can leave when you want. Wouldn't we all be alive and well without your presence? ”
"Yuliang! How did you end up like this now? Do you really not care about me at all? Don't you see my efforts at all? I always love you and Jingjing! I never wanted to abandon this home! Wen Yuanfang said excitedly with a crying voice.
"What are you excited about? Wouldn't you just sacrifice us all? If there are no people, what more can you have? Zhu Yuliang sat up, took out the letter of commitment from under the pillow, opened the tent, and fell on Wen Yuanfang's face.
Wen Yuanfang hurriedly picked up the piece of paper and looked at it, his face turned white. "This piece of paper...... How could it be in your hands? I searched everywhere and couldn't find it. What are you doing with this whim? He immediately found a packet of matches, struck one, and the paper was burned to ashes in an instant.
"Humph! On a whim, a dozen lives are gone. You strike a match, and the evidence can be burned, but can the facts that have already happened burned? Will a person who does not value his own life, his family, and the lives of others love his family? You liar! Zhu Yuliang loudly condemned in a disdainful tone.
"It's getting late, can you be quiet? In such an emotional situation at that time, can I pour cold water on everyone? Actually, I have always been against the use of force; But I'm just a small person, I can only be pushed by the torrent and can't help myself! I know it's useless to say anything now, you won't trust me anymore. Wen Yuanfang lowered his voice, trying to defend but reluctantly gave up.
"If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it! Are you still the same Wen Yuanfang who stands up to the sky? If not, let's get a divorce! Zhu Yuliang said calmly.
"What? Yuliang! Are you really going to divorce me? You're going to divorce me just for the sake of this letter of commitment that comes from passion? Wen Yuanfang's eyes widened, thinking that he had misheard.
"You know it's just a fuse. Freezing three feet, not a day's cold, you should know what I mean. We don't agree with each other, so we can't get by; Even if you are barely together, it will be noisy for a lifetime, is it interesting? ”
"No, no, no! I can't divorce you. If my wife had known that we were divorced, she would have taken her life. Yuliang! It's all my fault that we are in today's situation, and I don't blame you at all. You can continue to live in Harmony Pavilion and continue to maintain the relationships that are important to you; But I firmly disagree with the divorce. I will compensate you and Jingjing with practical actions, but I can't accept a divorce. After Wen Yuanfang finished speaking, he went downstairs, packed his luggage briefly and left Tongxin Pavilion.
Zhu Yuliang sat on the bed in a daze, feeling that there was a kind of cruelty gnawing at his heart, making his heart drip with drops of blood.

One day, Wen Yuanfang went to Jiyang Middle School and wanted to talk to Chen Meijuan about his divorce from Zhu Yuliang, and asked Chen Meijuan to come forward to persuade Zhu Yuliang to give up his plan to divorce.
"According to my observation, Xiao Zhu is a more assertive woman, and she must have a reason for what she has decided. I'll help you persuade you, but my words may not be effective! Chen Meijuan said.
"I always felt that my wife's relationship with your husband had gone beyond the boundaries of ordinary friendship. Doesn't Mr. Chen mind at all? Wen Yuanfang asked without hesitation.
Chen Meijuan said: "Their decision to deal with it as a brother-sister relationship is definitely beyond the boundaries of ordinary friendship, but they are not beyond the scope of morality and law." Even if I mind, would they give up the friendship they thought was precious? Everyone has their own fate, and everyone is an independent individual......"
Wen Yuanfang interrupted Chen Meijuan and said, "According to what Teacher Chen meant, it is forgivable for married men and women to cheat?" ”
Chen Meijuan replied: "Law and morality can restrain people's behavior, but they cannot restrain people's thoughts. If I fall in love with a male protagonist, and my husband and I do that and imagine him as the male protagonist, am I cheating? Ideologically, I've cheated; But in terms of morality and law, I definitely didn't cheat.
As long as my husband and your wife are not actually cheating, how they deal with their feelings is their business; If they have de facto infidelity, they are naturally condemned by the law, morality, and conscience. So, it doesn't matter if I forgive or not. ”
Wen Yuanfang said with a complicated mood: "I can't imagine that Teacher Chen is such an open-minded and wise person!" Admire! I would like to ask a question. Do you think there is pure love in the world? ”
Chen Meijuan replied: "Yes! But it was short-lived. That kind of absolutely pure, one-on-one love may be there in a short period of time, but it is difficult to maintain that purity throughout your life. Love eventually becomes family affection, and family affection can be very extensive.
In fact, the best destination of love is also family affection, and love that cannot become family affection will surely die. We shed tears for Bao Dai's love, doesn't Baoyu love Daiyu and also love Bao Chai? While Li Longji loves Yang Yuhuan, isn't he also more or less having an affair with other concubines? In a patriarchal society, because women have no choice, they can only love the only man with whom she has a legal relationship; If men and women are equal, and the law allows, I believe that a woman can still love multiple men at the same time and have the right to decide how she lives. ”
Wen Yuanfang said sincerely: "I didn't expect that Mr. Chen's thinking was not only open-minded but also forward-looking, and I was really eye-opening and deeply inspired today. I feel that your thoughts coincide with mine in many ways. Now, do you have any advice for my marriage with Zhu Yuliang? I'd love to hear from you. ”
Chen Meijuan replied: "If you really don't want to lose Xiao Zhu, then it's best to respect her wishes." After you divorce, you still have the right to pursue her, after all, there is still a Jingjing between you! Distance produces beauty, maybe in time your love will be resurrected again! The more likely you are to lose her forever if you are obsessed with her now and refuse to let go, which makes her more disgusted with you. ”
"Your words have made me pause. Thank you, Mr. Chen! Wen Yuanfang left happily.
……
A month later, Wen Yuanfang and Zhu Yuliang went through divorce procedures. But there are two prerequisites: one is to hide Wen Yuanfang's mother and all relatives; The second is to hide from her daughter Wen Jing.
