forty-five

It was so easy to pass again. Zhang Xu greeted me with warmth and sweet words to me as before. But my heart will never go back to what it used to be. If I used to love him very much, now I can only have two points left. I'm still good to him, good to his parents. Although I have left a deep scar in my heart. But I still have a kind of luck mentality, and I always think that maybe he will change one day.

Since I can't get a divorce, then I have to move him with sincerity. Now I have completely seen Zhang Xu, he is really a complete scumbag. But people's hearts are flesh and blood, no matter how bad a person is, as long as I treat him well and influence him well. Maybe one day he will turn back. I thought to myself, even if he is a rock, I will cover him.

Since the machines have been bought, this store must be opened. We can't put all the machines in there. So, I went to the town every day to look for a house. Not only the two bustling streets, but also the less bustling places I occasionally glance at. But for a few days, I couldn't find the house I liked.

On this day, after Zhang Xu left for work, after I finished cleaning up the house, I was thinking about going out to continue looking for a house. Just then, I heard a knock at the door outside. I knew someone had to come.

So, I walked out, and by this time, the door had been opened. When I saw that it was none other than Zhang Xu's father, it was Zhang Xu's father. Zhang Xu's father often went to the brigade to get newspapers to read. And our house is at the back of the brigade, so every time Zhang Xu's father goes to the brigade, if we have someone in the family when he comes back, he will come over and sit for a while. Even if Zhang Xu is not at home and I am home alone, he will sit for a while, smoke a cigarette before leaving. He was a very kind old man. In my opinion, Zhang Xu's family, that is, this old man, is quite reasonable.

Seeing Zhang Xu's father, I hurriedly said, "You're here?" Dad, hurry up and sit inside. Do you want me to push the car in for you? Zhang Xu's father came on an electric tricycle for the first time. ”

"No, just leave it at the door, I'll be gone in a while." Zhang Xu's father said.

When he said that, I didn't help him push the tricycle.

I asked Zhang Xu's father to walk in front, and I followed behind and entered the house. Zhang Xu's father, as usual, sat on the sofa when he entered the house. I hurriedly took Zhang Xu's cigarette to him and said, "Dad, you smoke first." ”

Zhang Xu's father took the cigarette and did not smoke it immediately. I saw him holding a piece of paper in his hand. I don't know what it is. Didn't ask either.

Zhang Xu's father handed me the paper and said, "You give this to Xiao Xu." ”

I took it and asked, "What is this?" ”

"The indictment was mailed by the court and put it in the brigade, and when I first went to get the newspaper, the brigade asked me to bring it."

"Indictment?" I asked, "What indictment?" "Because I've lived for more than 40 years, I haven't really seen the indictment. We've never been in a lawsuit with anyone, and we've never been exposed to legal issues or anything like that, so I don't understand.

"It was Zhao Yan who sued Xiao Xu. You just give it to Xiao Xu. Zhang Xu's father said.

"Okay, I'll hand it over to Zhang Xu when he comes back." At this time, I found out that I only brought cigarettes to Zhang Xu's father, and did not bring him a lighter. So, I quickly found the lighter and smiled at him and said, "Dad, give you a lighter." With that, he handed it to him.

Zhang Xu's father lit a cigarette and said while smoking: "I won't stop after the divorce." ”

Because I didn't know the specific situation, I didn't know what to say, so I said: "Dad, let them solve their affairs by themselves, don't worry." "I also saw that this old man was a little anxious, so I persuaded him.

"Hey, what's the use of being anxious, what's the way to put such an uncompetitive son on the stall?"

Hearing the old man say this, I realized that Zhang Xu was in such a position in the old man's mind? It is inevitable that Zhang Xu was not very close to them before. It is said that in the past, these two old men did not come to Zhang Xu's house very often. It wasn't until I got married to Zhang Xu that I persuaded Zhang Xu to be nice to them, and they began to like to come to our house.

Listened to the old man. I didn't speak again, I didn't know what to say. After Zhang Xu's father finished smoking a cigarette, he stood up and said, "Wen Li, I'll go back first, don't forget to give this to him when Xiao Xu comes back." ”

"Okay, I won't forget you, don't worry, Dad." I said as I stood up to see Zhang Xu's father out of the door.

After Zhang Xu's father left, I went back to the house and took the piece of paper that Zhang Xu's father handed me to read.

This piece of paper reads a civil complaint. Then I read the rest of the story.

Plaintiff Zhao Yan, in the future, is her date of birth, ID number and address.

Defendant Zhang Xu is also followed by his date of birth, ID number and address.

The cause of action was an economic dispute. The content is roughly about when he and Zhang Xu got married, and the reason for the divorce. It reads a divorce due to Zhang Xu's cheating during the marriage. Zhang Xu is the party at fault. So he promised to give Zhao Yan 50,000 yuan in compensation for moral damages after the divorce. Pay off within three years of marriage. But now that three years have passed, Zhang Xu has not compensated her money, so he asked the court to order Zhang Xu to compensate her for mental damage of 50,000 yuan.

Then here are the years, months and days.

I saw it like I saw another ticking time bomb. What's wrong with this Zhang Xu? How can this be a debt again? How many things about him are there that I don't know?

In the past, Zhao Yan called him to ask for money, and he said that Zhao Yan borrowed it from him because he had no money to spend. But it turned out that he still owed Zhao Yan a sum of money?

50,000 yuan. It's for families like ours. That's not a small amount, isn't it? Zhang Xu, Zhang Xu, what kind of person are you? It didn't take long for me to calm down before my heart started to pinch again.

How long will it take to survive like this?

Because of this incident, I didn't go out to look for a house. Because I'm a person who can't put things in my heart, I will think about some small things in my heart repeatedly. So I didn't have the heart to go out.

Finally looked forward to Zhang Xu getting off work. As soon as he entered the house, I handed him the indictment.

He didn't look at it, so he asked me, "What?" ”

"Can't you see for yourself?" I said unhappily.

Zhang Xu took it and took a look, then put it on the TV cabinet and said, "Don't pay attention to her." She is poor and crazy, and she doesn't do any work all day long, so she tries her best to get money out of my hands. ”

When I saw Zhang Xu's casual appearance, I asked him, "Zhang Xu, is this true?" Did you really promise her to give her 50,000 dollars? Do we have to pay back the money? ”

"Don't listen to her. I didn't promise her the money, I promised it to my daughter Lingling. I mean, when Lingling gets married, I'll give 50,000 yuan. What does this have to do with her? She had nothing to do. Wen Li, you think, I just didn't agree to her at the beginning, so when Lingling gets married in the future, won't I, the father, have to give her some money? ”
