Inside and Outside the Siege: A Woman's Battle for Marriage

Chapter 25
At that time, in order to open a restaurant, they didn't have much money themselves, and Zhang Zhonghou's relatives and friends couldn't borrow much, so she had to go back to her natal family to borrow.Although her natal family is not considered prominent, it is also a scholarly family, and her life has always been relatively prosperous.Her parents are veteran cadres and have some savings.Several of her brothers, uncles, uncles, uncles, and aunts are also rich and powerful.Each of them collected a few thousand, which was enough for their first venture capital.If it weren't for the great help of her natal family at that time, who lent money to them to start a business, would Zhang Zhonghou be where he is today?He is dreaming!Who knows which unit he still spends in!Still waiting for that dead salary every month!What else did he say except for her natal family, the earth still rotates!
It's really ruthless.

Recalling that period of the past, thinking of Zhang Zhonghou treating her like this, Du Mengyuan felt sour and spicy in her heart, which was really unpleasant.There were tears in her eyes again, and two lines of clear tears slipped down her cheeks quietly.

be a woman not a vine

Xu Qiuying read a report in the "Haitian Morning Post" that there was a large-scale talent recruitment fair at the talent market in Haitian City on Saturday, offering more than 2000 jobs to job seekers.

On Saturday, Xu Qiuying brought her job application letter and planned to try her luck.The reason why it is called "trying luck" is because she has participated in this kind of job fairs N times before, and every time she left in high spirits and returned disappointed.

The talent market was still crowded and overcrowded as before, even more crowded than before. The crowded scene reminded Xu Qiuying of the New Year's market in her hometown.The smell of sweat and body odor mixed with various peculiar smells permeates everywhere, which is suffocating.In the entire talent market, there is still a sea of ​​people, and the job seekers are blank-eyed.

Xu Qiuying looked around and wanted to apply for a few job applications, but found that most of the recruiting units still mainly recruited salesmen, or those too professional technical positions, such as construction, electronics, machinery manufacturing and other positions.In short, there are very few positions suitable for her.Finally, I saw that the resident reporter station of a national-level newspaper advertised the recruitment of journalists, and when I asked about it, it was also "you have to complete a certain amount of advertising to get the basic salary."

Xu Qiuying squeezed the job application letter tightly in her hand, and looked at the surging crowd in front of her, her heart was at a loss and she lost all confidence.She knows that with the current employment situation, it is not easy to find a satisfactory job.What's more, even if you find a job with a monthly salary of 2000 yuan, what is it to someone like her who has experienced a life of luxury and wealth?For the mere 2000 yuan, working from [-] to [-] every day, and often working overtime and even being criticized by the leader, how can I bear the restraint and control?

Thinking of this, she flinched again, quickly fleeing the suffocating talent market, like an ostrich sticking its head into the sand.She was glad that she still had hundreds of thousands of cash in her bank card, which was an astronomical figure for most of the people just now.It's really scary to think about it. If she doesn't have the money and can't find a job, how will she survive and gain a foothold in this cruel city?
Thinking of this, I felt a little grateful to Zhang Zhonghou in my heart, glad that I knew him and had that relationship with him.Without the hundreds of thousands he gave, no matter how hard it is to find a job, she would have to search around with blank eyes like those people just now, hoping that the employer would give her a job opportunity.No matter how bad the job is and how low the salary is, she has to make ends meet because she wants to survive.

After thinking about it, she even suddenly missed the old way of life, and she missed Room 23, Building 1101, "Dadi Garden of Haitian Times".

Back at the rental house, recalling what she saw in the talent market, Xu Qiuying began to struggle again: Was it too hasty and impulsive to leave Zhang Zhonghou like this?Is it naive to force him to divorce his wife and marry himself?I decided to start over, but now I can't even find a job, how should I start over?Even went to mend the hymen, isn't it too pretentious and ridiculous?Is it the taste of a bitch's torii?

A series of questions lingered and buzzed in Xu Qiuying's brain, making her dizzy and upset.

In the evening, as soon as Xu Qiuying logged on to QQ, Chen Jing sent a message asking, "How are you doing, Qiuying?"

Xu Qiuying said lightly, "It's still not the same."

"Mr. Zhang, did you buy a house for you?"

"I've left him."

Chen Jing sent several surprised expressions in a row and said, "Huh? Why are you leaving?"

Xu Qiuying said: "I feel sorry for his wife."

Chen Jing made a laughing expression and said, "Why do you still have such inexplicable thoughts?"

"His wife has talked to me, and I think she is quite pitiful."

"What's so pitiful? You pity her, who pities you?" Chen Jing said, "Even if I'm sorry, it's her husband who is sorry for her. What's your business?"

Xu Qiuying said: "Oh, I don't think it's a problem for me to be so unknown all the time."

Chen Jing said: "How much is fame worth? Why do you think so much? As long as you live happily."

Another message was beating. Xu Qiuying opened it and saw that it was Zhang Ting.

"Qiu Ying, what are you doing?"

Xu Qiuying said, "I'm chatting with Chen Jing."

Zhang Ting sent a sad expression and said: "Oh, luck is good for you, the bosses you work with are very rich. The boss I work with is the worst. I have been losing money in business recently, and I am always angry at me. I am really depressed."

Xu Qiuying said: "I'm not with him anymore."

Zhang Ting obviously didn't understand what Xu Qiuying said, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Qiuying said: "I have already broken up with him."

Zhang Ting made an exaggerated surprised expression and said, "Why?"

Xu Qiuying said: "I want to start over."

"Start again? What to start? How to start?" Zhang Ting asked a series of questions, and then said in a sincere tone, "Qiu Ying, you are too impulsive and stupid to do this. He is such a big boss, how can you easily Just let it go? If you want to break up, you should get some more money from him and then divide it!"

"I already have the hundreds of thousands he gave me in my card."

"You are so beautiful, and he is so rich, what are hundreds of thousands of dollars? You should make him millions." Zhang Ting said, "Does Nana know?"

"I haven't told her yet."

"You should discuss these things with us before making a decision. Qiu Ying, you are still too impulsive and immature."

Chen Jing, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly said: "Qiu Ying, I thought about it for you just now, I suggest you go back and look for him."

Xu Qiuying said: "The points are all divided, why do you still look for him? Good horses don't turn back."

"A horse that doesn't eat turning heads is a stupid horse, a foolish horse, and a single-minded horse. As long as turning back grass is nutritious, why not eat it?" Chen Jing said with a smug expression, "Qiu Ying, in today's society, don't If you are too serious, you will suffer.”

Next, Chen Jing and Zhang Ting persuaded Xu Qiuying to return to Zhang Zhonghou's side.Their common point of view is nothing more than that it is too bad to leave like this, and don't make trouble with money if you have trouble with anything.

Xu Qiuying's mind was even more confused when she was offline, she didn't know what to do.The road ahead is bleak, she can't see the direction...

keep lobbyists out

Xu Qiuying's sudden disappearance made Zhang Zhonghou feel as if he had lost his soul, and his heart felt empty.He didn't want Zeng Deyi to know, but after thinking about it, he no longer cared about his face, so he turned to Zeng Deyi for help: "Old man, where are you busy?"

"I'm not busy, brother, what instructions do you have?" Zeng Deyi knew that Zhang Zhonghou must be asking for something again.This is Zhang Zhonghou's speaking style. No matter how urgent it is, he never takes the initiative to ask, just ask "where are you busy?" Waiting for you to ask him, maybe this is the style of the big boss.

Only then did Zhang Zhonghou say: "Brother, let me tell you something. Xu Qiuying is gone."

Zeng Deyi didn't react for a while: "Gone? Where did you go?"

"She said she wanted to break up with me...and left." Although Zhang Zhonghou tried his best to put on an understatement, he still couldn't hide the anxiety in his heart, "I would like to trouble your Zhang Lina to persuade me to see if she can Can't change your mind?"

"Okay, okay. I'll ask Zhang Lina to do this right away." After Zeng Deyi knew what was going on, he nodded his head immediately, "Don't worry, brother, I will definitely ask Zhang Lina to do the ideological work for the second sister-in-law."

"Then I need you to worry about it." Zeng Deyi's attitude made Zhang Zhonghou very satisfied, thinking that it seemed worthwhile for him to take care of Zeng Deyi's business. Zeng Deyi has always been so responsive and respectful all along.

Zeng Deyi said flatteringly: "What's the trouble? The eldest brother's business is my business. The eldest brother doesn't have to worry, I just ask Zhang Lina to persuade the second sister-in-law. Women like to play a little temper, and Zhang Lina is the same."

After hanging up Zhang Zhonghou's call, Zeng Deyi immediately called Zhang Lina's cell phone: "Where is Nana?"

Zhang Lina yawned over there, stretched her waist, and said lazily, "I'm at home, where else can I go?"

"Okay! You are waiting for me at home. I am in a hurry to find you." After finishing speaking, Zeng Deyi drove to Zhang Lina's house.

Zeng Deyi, who was in a hurry, yelled loudly as soon as he entered the door: "Xu Qiuying is gone! She left Mr. Zhang! She said she was going to break up with Mr. Zhang!"

This news surprised Zhang Lina a lot, she didn't expect Xu Qiuying to be like this.I thought to myself, Qiuying is really stupid, why is she always so stubborn?
Zeng Deyi said: "Zhang Zhonghou is very worried now, and wants to ask you to do Xu Qiuying's work and let her come back."

Zhang Lina called Xu Qiuying's mobile phone on the spot, but it was turned off.No wonder the phone was turned off when calling her these days, it turned out to be like this.

"What should I do? Her mobile phone is turned off." Zhang Lina said.

Zeng Deyi said impatiently: "Do you see if there are other ways to contact her?"

Zhang Lina thought for a while and said, "I can only use QQ. See if she is online." After speaking, she ran into the room and turned on the computer to log in to QQ, and sent a message to Xu Qiuying, saying, "Qiuying, are you there?"

There was no response there.

Zhang Lina asked again: "Qiuying, are you there? I have something urgent to see you." After speaking, she sent several vibrations in succession.

There was still no response.Zhang Lina said, "She's not online yet."

Zeng Deyi sighed in disappointment, and said: "Then we can only wait for her to go online. When you get in touch with her, you must give her a good education. She and Mr. Zhang are living well, what do you think she is playing?" Little temper!"

Seeing Zeng Deyi's anxious look, Zhang Lina couldn't help laughing, thinking that it wasn't your woman who ran away, why are you so nervous?He gave Zeng Deyi a blank look, and said angrily: "Now you know it's urgent? You stinky men, you don't know how to cherish it, and you only know it when you run away. We don't take poison, but leave your head office? Do we live without you?" Can't go down?"

Zeng Deyi knew that Zhang Lina was talking about Li Yao taking sleeping pills, so he couldn't say anything more, so he changed the subject and said, "You should contact Xu Qiuying as soon as possible."

"Okay. But I'm not sure if I can get in touch." Zhang Lina said.

As soon as Zeng Deyi left, Xu Qiuying called: "Nana, I went out just now. What can I do for you?"

Zhang Lina said in surprise, "Where are you?"

"At home."

"Then come over to my house. I have something to do with you."

Xu Qiuying said, "I've already moved."

Zhang Lina pretended to be ignorant and said, "Moved? Where did you move?"

Xu Qiuying said: "Zhang Zhonghou and I have already broken up. We can't live there anymore."

Zhang Lina pretended to be surprised and said, "Huh? Why are you doing this?" After a short pause, she said, "You can talk about it after you come to my house."

As soon as Xu Qiuying entered Zhang Lina's house, Zhang Lina said anxiously, "Qiuying, what happened?"

Xu Qiuying smiled slightly and said, "I want to start over. Say goodbye to the past."

Zhang Lina chuckled and said, "Qiu Ying, you are so stupid, why start over? Why are you saying goodbye to the past? What happened to the past?"

"Zhang Zhonghou's wife approached me, and she said that the phone call was ugly, which made me feel guilty, embarrassed, and shocked. I felt as if I had stolen something from someone else."

"Hasn't Zeng Deyi's wife ever singled me out? I'm not afraid of her! What are we afraid of them?" Zhang Lina said, "Qiuying, you said that you want to start over and bid farewell to the past. You can't start over. Just like Zhang Ailing said of: 'We can never go back...'Once you start on this road, you can't turn back. Continue to let you go back to the previous life without money, are you still used to it? Will you? Live a day Two days is okay, but what about a year, two years, and a lifetime? Are you willing? Are you willing?" Zhang Lina smiled and continued, "You have been with Zhang Zhonghou for so long, and you have not gotten anything. If you don't make some money, you will be too Lost." After thinking for a while, he said, "Actually, you don't need to feel guilty. You're not stealing, you're just fighting for your own, because you're also a victim. The only thing to blame is the man who is too careless and eats from the bowl. In the pot."

Xu Qiuying said faintly: "But I always feel that I am robbing other people's husbands."

"Strange? Why do you think so? Zeng Deyi's wife still takes sleeping pills, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Speaking of this, Zhang Lina said fiercely, "I really hope that it's okay for that bird woman to die! I immediately became a regular. Hmph!"

Xu Qiuying lowered her head: "I don't think it's a solution for me to be so unknown all the time."

"What kind of society is it now? What do you want for fame? Money! Money is the best way." Zhang Lina said a little excitedly, "Qiu Ying, don't make things difficult for yourself, don't make things difficult for money. In this society, what? It's all fake, only money is real."

Xu Qiuying remained silent.

Zhang Lina said in a slow tone: "I also know that when you think of other people's wives, you must have pimples in your heart. In fact, any woman will have pimples, and I have them too. But we are latecomers and mistresses. What can we do?" What? We either have to fight their wives to the end and squeeze them out, or we can only accept this reality. But the possibility of squeezing them out is unlikely, because those stinky men like to be honest and have no love with their wives. Now, we still have to maintain a big situation. So what should we do? Still fantasizing that they divorced their wives and married us? Do you think about how likely this is? How sure are you? Instead of wasting time and energy thinking about these troublesome things , we might as well ask them to give more money! Losses within the embankment should be compensated outside the embankment!"

Xu Qiuying looked up at Zhang Lina and said, "I don't have a marriage or a family, so what do you need so much money for?"
