Just when the Chinese New Year was about to be celebrated, one day Zhang Xu called me again: "Wen Li, what time do you get off work today?" "When I heard him ask me this, I was a little puzzled and didn't know what he meant.

"Leave work at eight."

"You're not working overtime, are you?"

"I don't work overtime anymore, and I won't be busy anymore." I said, now that I am talking to him, I am calm, because I have decided to divorce, so what is there to be angry about? It's about to become a stranger. What puzzles me is that Zhang Xu's voice has also become much gentler. Ever since he was clamoring for a divorce, or should I say he was planning to divorce, he had never spoken so gently to me. I've been looking for ballast. What's going on today?

"If you don't work overtime, I'll pick you up today, right?" This sentence surprised me even more. Pick me up? Why did he pick me up? What are you doing with me? Are there three people lying in one bed? Do you live the life of one wife and one concubine? A sneer appeared on my face.

"What are you picking me up for?" I said very calmly.

"I want to talk to you." Zhang Xu said.

"Aren't we all done? Didn't I agree to divorce you too? It's not long before the Chinese New Year. When I come back for the Chinese New Year, I will bring the household registration book, and I will go with you to go through the formalities at that time. I said.

"It's not about that." Zhang Xu said.

"So what's that talking about?" I asked.

"We'll find out when you get back. Talk about things between us. ”

"What else is there to talk about between us?" I really don't know what Zhang Xu wants, I don't know what medicine is sold in his gourd.

"Don't ask, you'll know when you come back, and we'll have a good talk when the time comes." Zhang Xu has always had a soft voice from the time he spoke to me. He seems to have returned to the good temper he had when he first got married.

"I'm going back, how are we going to live? Could it be that I and your future daughter-in-law will live in the same bed? I said this with a hint of sarcasm.

"Wen Li, she's gone, she said she's going to quit, she won't bother us anymore." At this moment, I figured it out, and when Xiao San left, he remembered me again. It's no wonder that since I called me today, I have been calm, and I have completely lost my arrogance in the past.

"You finally made me agree to divorce you, you made all kinds of trouble for the divorce, and now that she is gone, why don't you call her back? What are you telling me to go home for? What you should be chasing back is that she's not me. I said.

"I called her to turn off the phone, and she really decided to quit, so Wen Li, you come back, let's have a good talk, give me a chance, and give yourself a chance. If we talk well, we will have a good time, if the talks are not good, then it is not too late for you to come to the factory tomorrow to live. Zhang Xu said very sincerely. But I don't trust him much anymore.

"If we don't go back, I don't think we'll have anything to talk about." I say. In fact, I don't feel very comfortable saying this. Despite all his actions, I really don't want a divorce in my heart. If it weren't for his phone calls and various chases, I wouldn't want to choose divorce even if I wanted a marriage in name only.

"I'll pick you up at eight o'clock. Wen Li, if you don't come back, I will be waiting for you at the gate of the factory. Zhang Xu actually said such a thing.

"Whatever you want. I've got to get to work. I said. After that, he hung up the phone.

I thought Zhang Xu was just talking about that. But I didn't expect him to come before eight o'clock. He was waiting for me in a car parked at the gate. We had colleagues who went outside to make a phone call and saw it.

The doors of the factory are open. He parked the car outside the gate. Naturally, people can see it. Because he used to pick me up all the time, a lot of people in our family knew his car.

A colleague came in and said to me, "Xiao Ji, your husband is here to pick you up." I'm waiting for you outside. Did your husband come back from a business trip? ”

Because a few days ago, my colleague asked me why I didn't go home, and I said that my husband was on a business trip. Now that he has come to pick me up from the gate, my colleagues naturally think that he has returned from a business trip.

"Yes, I'm back today." Believe it or not, I have to lie for myself.

As a result, I had to go back after work. Because my colleagues know that my husband is coming to pick me up, if I don't go back, then don't people know everything? I think they could have guessed, but they didn't put it on the surface.

As a last resort, when I got off work at eight o'clock, I packed a bag of my own and left the factory gate and got into Zhang Xu's car.

I didn't speak all the way and was silent, Zhang Xu didn't speak, he didn't seem to have anything to say. We didn't talk until we got home, I was thinking about my thoughts, I don't know if he was thinking something.

After getting out of the car, when I got to the house, I found that Zhang Xu's sister Zhang Qing was here. It looks like she's waiting for us. I don't understand, why don't she come home at such a late hour, wait for us?

After seeing me enter the house, Zhang Qing said, "Are you back Wen Li?" As much as I hated this person, I couldn't help but answer when she talked to me, so I forced a smile on my face and said, "When did you come back?" "I didn't call her second sister. Maybe I'm also a person who loves to hate with a careful eye, right? Since Zhang Qing provoked Zhang Xu to beat me, I will be commensurate with you when I see her again, I don't want to call her second sister anymore, she is Zhang Xu's sister, not my sister, and she is not worthy of me to call her second sister.

"I've been here for a while, just waiting for you and Xiao Xu." Sure enough, I guessed that she was here to wait for me. yes, why don't you come home so late and wait for me? It must be because Zhang Xu's good friend ran away, Zhang Xu still wants to live with me, because the next family ran away, and the upper family still has to be saved, if they all run away, won't he get two empty ends?

Zhang Xu must have thought that he was afraid that I would not forgive him, so he hired his second sister as a lobbyist.

"Are you waiting for us for anything?" I still asked her with a smile.

"Wen Li, I've been busy at this stage, so I don't have time to come over, I just know that something happened between you and Xiao Xu, so I'm here to persuade you. I think you'd better be fine. ”

What hypocrisy! How ridiculous! Zhang Xu brought the woman to live at home for so long. Zhang Xu's mother lives in the West House, and she often comes to see her mother, will she not know about Zhang Xu and me? Seems to have really taken me for a fool.

"Really? Zhang Xu has a woman outside, don't you know? ”

"That's what I just knew. No, he also made me scold me severely. Wen Li, it's not easy for you to come together, although it's a little misunderstood, but let him go in the past. Have a good time in the future. Xiao Xu also promised me before he went to pick you up just now, and he said that this kind of thing would never happen again in the future. As soon as he is confused, you can forgive him. Second sister is here today to promise you that if he can't do it in the future, even I won't agree to him if something like that happens again. ”

Zhang Qing tried her best to say good things for Zhang Xu in front of me and asked me to forgive Zhang Xu. Let me give Zhang Xu a chance. Sincerely.
