If some people gossip out of envy and jealousy, Mark will choose to increase his efforts to make his life better.

These people can't stand you but can't get rid of you, so you can only continue to envy and hate you, and end up making yourself jealous.

“Who are you trying to make jealous of? I advise you not to make any more progress and become detached from the masses.

Good things happen to you again. I don’t know if others have problems, but I will be jealous. Whether it is family or work, you are the one who has nothing good to offer. "

Old Sun was the first to be unhappy.

"I'm talking to others, why are you the first to lose your mind?"

"What do you think?" Old Sun said with a look on his face as if he knew it all.

"What you can't stand the most is that Tian Ye is pretty. It didn't matter when I was poor before, and you could still comfort yourselves. But now that I've moved into a bigger house, many of you can't stand it anymore?"

What Lao Sun likes to tease the most is the two men’s wives, and this is definitely what he cares about the most.

"My Lord is dead!"

"Don't think about who died. It's unlucky. I'll tell you a piece of news, and you won't be so unbalanced."

"What news?" Old Sun approached Mark with a gossipy look on his face.

"Tian Ye and I are divorced."

It's time to speak out about this news.

Otherwise, if Mark gets together with some girl again, he will easily be regarded as a scumbag.

"Really? You can't be kidding me. You two look like a model couple."

Old Sun was obviously a little bit unbelievable. Tian Ye was beautiful and Old Ma was so good to his wife that it was too well known to people.

"What kind of model is this? A couple who are polite and respectful to each other are considered a model? Don't you think there is no passion in their life?"

"Old Ma, you are not having any inappropriate thoughts. If you change the house to a new one, you should also change the wife. At our age, it is time to pursue stability. What passion are you pursuing?"

A person's first reaction when hearing gossip is to naturally develop associations.

"Old Sun, don't get excited with me. This is not the result I am pursuing. This is the answer Tian Ye gave me."

"So, it was Tian Ye who filed for divorce from you?"

Old Sun's mood immediately calmed down a lot.

"My Lord is dead!"

Mark replied imitating Lao Sun's accent.

"Old Ma, you can't be poached, right?"

Old Sun thought about it again and realized that it would be a pity to just teach English with such divergent thinking.

"Go, get out of here." Mark's face darkened. He could accept the reputation of being divorced by his ex-wife, but he could not accept the Hulk legend: "We divorced peacefully, nothing happened."

"She asked for a divorce, and you agreed, without even trying to save her relationship?"

"Where can you stay if you want to leave?"

For a forty-year-old man who is not bad in all aspects, divorce should not be a completely bad thing.

This may be the reason why Marco did not try his best to keep Tian Ye before.

"No wonder you want to take leave to travel. You are not traveling, but going to recuperate, right?"

Old Sun easily connected all the recent events around Mark.

"Yes."

Since Lao Sun had taken the initiative to help Mark think about the cause and effect, Mark agreed reluctantly.

In school and among his friends, Mark has always been known as a loving and good husband.

Divorce is not sad at all, but it does make me a little upset.

Using the excuse of traveling to heal his wounds to show that Mark has passed the painful period is much more comfortable than pretending to be unhappy and frustrated at school.

"Old Ma, don't be so sad. Have you heard of the three great joys of a middle-aged man?"

Mark just felt a little guilty because he had deceived poor Old Sun, so Old Sun took it as sadness and comforted Mark instead.

"what?"

"Get promoted, get rich, and die with your wife!"

"What does this have to do with me as a physical education teacher?"

Mark admitted that this theory was very twisted, but since it has been spread, there must be some truth to it.

At least it can represent the true psychology of some middle-aged men.

"Let's talk about getting rich first."

"Well, you know?"

Mark only told Mary about winning the lottery.

But in this age of information explosion, there is no guarantee that someone will dig Mark out from other channels.

"What do I know, have you really made a fortune?"

Old Sun was obviously in a state of not knowing anything.

Mark's secret claiming of the prize did work. At present, only the lottery station where Mark bought the lottery ticket has hung a banner to promote its store, and no one has found Mark yet.

"No, isn't that what you want to say?"

"You got a housing quota. Everyone knows the value of this quota. You are considered rich, right?"

"How can this be calculated? I spent the money without even seeing it."

"Dead wife, that was an old term. Divorce is easy now. Divorce means breaking off a marriage, but the result is the same as that of that. Both mean becoming single."

"Go on, I'll see how you talk nonsense."

Mark really wanted to say something to make Old Sun happy too, but this obviously sounded like a curse and was not appropriate to say.

"Finally, let's talk about this promotion. I heard that the higher-ups are considering making you the head of the senior sports team. It's not a high position, but it's a promotion anyway, right?"

"Where did you hear these nonsense? Why am I the head of the sports team? Do I think I have too much free time, or are you not happy being a regular sports teacher now?"

The best state is to not be involved in anything. Even if the team leader does not have much to do, he still has a lot of administrative work to do.

"Don't worry about where you heard it, just tell me if this counts as a promotion or not."

"Then why don't you get promoted and ask your boss to make you a class teacher? A class teacher sounds much more respectable than a team leader."

“Mark, I’m trying to comfort you, please don’t hurt me!”

Old Sun said excitedly.

The subsidy for the class teacher position is only a few hundred yuan, and the time spent attending teaching meetings and educating students is exchanged for extracurricular part-time work.

Not to mention increasing the income by a hundred times, there will definitely be no problem in increasing it by dozens of times.

"I don't have the time to hurt you. Now someone is trying to hurt me. They want me to be the head of the sports team." Mark was unwilling to talk nonsense with Old Sun anymore because something was wrong.

"Lao Sun, I won't talk to you about this anymore. I'm going to go find the leader."

"Mark, the school has just assigned you a purchasing quota. Do you understand?"

"The school considers your difficulties, and you should also consider the school more."

"As an old teacher in this school, you should still talk about dedication and help young people take the lead..."

It is not so easy to quit Mark's position as sports director.

If the position was really that good, Mark's predecessor would not be unwilling to do it.

Just over a thousand dollars and I'm exhausted from worrying about it.

Doing so many unnecessary things can only be a matter of emotion.

Otherwise, even as a physical education teacher, there are few opportunities to earn extra income.

This little bit of job subsidy is really not a big deal.

Mark could only follow his predecessor's example and do it temporarily.

When new teachers grow in experience, they can hand over their positions.

Then Mark attended a physical education class and left school.

I went to the community where my new house is located and went to the property management to handle some renovation procedures.

"Agate."

After get off work, Mark brought Mary to the courtyard together.

She hadn't been here for a week, although Ma wasn't so happy with the old lady.

But no matter what, we should respect the elderly, so we should come and take a look.

The other thing was to give the local specialties and gifts that I brought from Sanya to the old lady and her son to the two of them.

I brought some tropical fruits and dried seafood for the old lady, and some shell crafts for Manou.

As for why Manou is still staying in the courtyard.

The main reason is that Manou often gets off work earlier than Tianye when he finishes school at kindergarten.

Tian Ye still had to rely on Ling Mingyu to help pick up his son from school.

Although she has divorced Mark, Tian Ye is not at all polite when using her ex-mother-in-law.

"elder sister."

After shouting, Manou rushed towards Mali. It was clear who he was closer to.

This is the case when Mali and Manou have not been apart for a long time.

Although these two people don't live together now.

But the Siheyuan is a place where both of them come and meet often.

"Manou, didn't you see that I'm back? I brought you a gift."

Mark asked Agate.

"Dad, I miss you."

When it comes to being sweet-talker, Manou is pretty good.

But the gap between her and Ma Li is far more than just the apparent age difference of ten.

"Do you miss me as a person, or the gift I bought you?"

"Both." He has the potential to be a master of keeping things balanced.

"Here you go, play with it."

Mark gave the shells he bought to Manou.

When children get a new toy, they will definitely be curious about it for a while.

"Mom, this is a specialty I brought you."

Although these things can be bought in Beijing and the prices are not much different, it is still a courtesy.

"Mark, did you just come back from a business trip today? Why did you come back with Lily?"

Ling Mingyu asked Mark.

"Um...I went to pick up Lily from school."

I had so much fun these past few days that I almost forgot about the divorce and I kept it a secret from Ling Mingyu.

He came back yesterday and gave Manou a gift today. It's weird.

Manou was with Tianye yesterday.

If the two had not divorced, Tian Ye should have brought Manou back home to live with her.

"You're going on a business trip, just take care of your business, and bring me something."

Ling Mingyu's words sounded like a normal old mother, but she obviously hadn't finished her words yet:

"You bought things for all of us. Did you buy anything for Tian Ye?"

"Ha ha……"

Of course Mark didn’t buy it for Tian Ye. He just laughed awkwardly and gave himself some time to think.

"Mom, I don't need any gifts. I'm not a child."

Then the sound of the fields came from behind.

"Yes, Tian Ye doesn't need it." Mark immediately followed up.

"What do you mean you don't need it? On such important days as your wedding anniversary and birthday, you didn't say anything and didn't even show any sign of gratitude. Only Tian Yeren would not bother with you. If it were any other daughter-in-law, she would definitely make a scene at home because of you."

When she saw Tian Ye, Ling Mingyu instantly became Mark's stepmother again.

But after saying this, Mark was only a little embarrassed.

Tian Ye was so embarrassed that his face was about to turn red.

"Grandma, my dad and mom can handle their own affairs. We won't get involved."

Xiaomianao noticed that Mark and Tian Ye were feeling awkward and wanted to help end the topic.

"Mom, look."

Manou was more naive and took the shell to show Tianye.

However, although it was not subjective, it still helped Tian Ye.

"It's very beautiful. Did your father bring it back for you?"

Tian Ye squatted down and looked at Manou and replied, this angle just happened to avoid Ling Mingyu's sight.

"Can we not talk about your father? If we don't talk about him, he might not even be able to keep his wife."

Ling Mingyu replied to Ma Li, obviously wanting to continue teaching Mark a lesson.

"Mom, I'm a little tired today. Let's go back first. I'll come to see you when I'm free on the weekend."

The principle of getting along with the old lady Ling Mingyu is that Mark can't afford to offend her but can afford to avoid her.

Although the old lady has some minor health problems, she is still in good health.

Unless you need someone to take care of you all the time, there's nothing wrong with hiding for a while.

"Are you leaving now?"

"Let's go. This business trip is too tiring."

Mark replied, and Mary packed up her things.

Originally, the two of them were planning to have dinner with the old lady, so Mary carried her schoolbag out of the car, ready to do her homework while the adults were cooking.

Now that he has met Tian Ye and Ling Mingyu has the same attitude, the plan must of course be terminated.

"Grandma, let's go now. I'll come to see you tomorrow."

Ma Li said goodbye to Ling Mingyu.

"Tian Ye, help Manou pack up, we are leaving."

Seeing Tian Ye looking a little dazed, Mark reminded Tian Ye.

In Ling Mingyu's eyes, the two of them are still a family, so if they want to leave, they have to leave together.

"Manou, let's go." Tian Ye was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

"Mark, why are you like this to Mom today?"

After leaving the courtyard, Tian Ye handed Manou to Ma Li to lead, and followed Mark behind.

He started questioning Mark in the same old tone as before.

"Then what should I do? You two are a close family, so I have to be caught in the middle and suffer."

A very good relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not necessarily a good thing for the son.

When the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not good, the son will definitely be caught in the middle.

But if the relationship is too good, it would not be so pleasant for two people to help each other to criticize each other.

If it was Mark who abandoned the fields, Mark would be willing to put up with this dilemma.

It was Tian Ye who insisted on getting a divorce, and Mark certainly couldn't stand this.

"I know you have been wronged."

"Tian Ye, it's not enough for you to just know that I'm wronged. You still need to take some action. You should tell mom about this as soon as possible, so that she can at least keep up with Lily's understanding of the situation.

You have been pretending to be a loving couple, when will you make mom accept our divorce?"

One reason I kept it from Ling Mingyu was because I was worried about her health.

One is that Tian Ye doesn't want to be the daughter-in-law of the Ma family, but she also wants to maintain a mother-daughter relationship with Ling Mingyu.

Otherwise, even if Ling Mingyu is very partial to Tian Ye.

I found out that the two of them divorced because of Tian Ye’s request.

Ling Mingyu's position would at least lean slightly towards Mark, be a little more neutral, at least she wouldn't speak without a good attitude.

"How do you want me to tell my mother?" Tian Ye said with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Just tell her that you need to move out, otherwise Manju will expose you sooner or later. You have to believe that the old lady is not as fragile as you think."

A woman who has experienced being abandoned by a man and is able to raise her son alone must have a strong side.

It is impossible that she could not bear it just because her son got divorced. Even if she is old, nothing will happen unless she is hit suddenly. (End of this chapter)
