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

Chapter 34 How to fight wits and courage with the mistress? (2)
Now Zhang Zhonghou speaks so sincerely, even a bit begging, what can she do with him?Continue to make trouble with him?What will be the result of the quarrel?Xu Qiuying was already pregnant with his child, and it was about to be born soon, would he easily get rid of her?Certainly not.As long as he and Xu Qiuying continue to be together, what else can she do?Did she also push Xu Qiuying into a dead end?She really couldn't do something like Li Yao's. Attorney Zhang from the 'Marriage Clinic' has long advised her to take Xu Qiuying to court to recover Xu Qiuying's property. She was unable to do so because she was worried about damaging the image of Zhang Zhonghou and the "Dadi Group", let alone other matter?When it came to dealing with Xu Qiuying, she didn't know whether she was kind or weak as Linda said.But no matter what, as long as she thinks of the child in Xu Qiuying's womb, the tenderness and kindness of motherhood will fill her heart, and she really can't bear to press Xu Qiuying every step of the way.

Thinking of these, Du Mengyuan felt compassion.She put down her chopsticks and said calmly: "Zhang Zhonghou, one day husband and wife Bai Rien, I don't know if you still have feelings for me. But I always have feelings for you. As a normal woman, you I feel uncomfortable doing such a scandal outside, and I am going to have a big fight with you, but considering that we are husband and wife for decades, and considering your reputation, I still want to let you go." She After thinking for a while, he continued, "I am also bearish about the past, and I don't want to argue with you so much anymore. But I hope that I will not be an example. Except for Xu Qiuying, don't let me see other women."

Zhang Zhonghou was a little moved, he suddenly felt Du Mengyuan's greatness, and his own insignificance and shamelessness.Quickly said: "This is no problem. I can write you a letter of guarantee." After speaking, he took a piece of paper and wrote a few lines and handed it to Du Mengyuan.

Except for Xu Qiuying caused by historical reasons, Zhang Zhonghou promises not to be an example, and will never find a woman or have a mistress...

Du Mengyuan pushed the letter of guarantee to Zhang Zhonghou, and said softly, "It's useless to write anything, the key is that you keep your word and do things worthy of your own conscience."

Zhang Zhonghou said emotionally: "Mengyuan, I have always had feelings for you, but...it was only on impulse that I made a mistake with Xu Qiuying...but please believe me, no matter what happens to me outside, I My heart is always toward home, and you are always my married wife..."

"Don't mention Xu Qiuying in front of me again." Du Mengyuan said coldly.

Having experienced so much, Du Mengyuan was exhausted physically and mentally.She also became bearish and figured it out.All men today are like this.From ordinary people to high-ranking officials, many men have mistresses and mistresses.That day she saw an article in a magazine saying: The reason why there are so many private detective agencies and the business is so hot is because there are too many philandering men, there are too many men who have lovers and mistresses, and many men even if they don’t have one. Lover, but at least also experienced an extramarital affair, stealing wild food outside.Think about a man like Zhang Zhonghou who is rich and caring, how easy is it to control him?Well, he can do whatever he likes.From tomorrow onwards, she will see nothing but see nothing, she will not think about anything, and will never pay attention to these messy things again, she will live happily.Even if she leaves Zhang Zhonghou, her world will still have to turn...

Men love to find mistresses and also love to abandon mistresses
Chinese New Year is approaching, migrant workers are starting to return home, tickets are starting to get tight, and pedestrians on the road are in a hurry.The streets and alleys are getting more and more flavorful for the New Year. The New Year’s goods market has opened. The red lanterns, red Chinese knots, and red Spring Festival couplets...everything red reminds people that the old year will soon pass, and the new year will soon pass. The year of the new year is about to knock on the doors of thousands of households.

Accompanied by her brother, the Filipino maid and the driver, Xu Qiuying went to the New Year's market and bought a lot of New Year's goods, including everything to eat and use.I also bought a lot of food, candy, health care products, and medicinal wine to take back to my hometown to honor my parents.It's too lonely to celebrate the New Year in the city alone, and she has to go home to reunite with her parents.What she is most afraid of is this kind of festival time, whether it is the Dragon Boat Festival or the Mid-Autumn Festival, every time she celebrates a festival, she will secretly compete with Du Mengyuan for the opportunity to celebrate the festival with Zhang Zhonghou.If it was an ordinary festival, Zhang Zhonghou would usually spend it with her, and he could find a reason to lie to Du Mengyuan, but he had to go home to spend the Spring Festival with his wife and children no matter what, because he had to spend the Spring Festival anyway. support.

As the Spring Festival approached day by day, Xu Qiuying felt more and more lost.Usually, she can be with Zhang Zhonghou almost every day, but she feels that she is no different from a normal woman. It is only on such a major festival that she deeply realizes her true identity—no matter how well-dressed and beautiful she usually is. Unlimited, no matter how good Zhang Zhonghou treats her, she is just a mistress who can't show up in public with her own man.Especially during the grand festival of Chinese New Year, when she was reunited with her family, she would either have to stay alone in this huge house, watching the fireworks and let the loneliness strike.Or just like those migrant workers who are away from home, rushing to their hometown with their bags on their backs.

Suddenly, she felt, why do you need so much money?There are many things in this world that cannot be bought with money.Not to mention anything else, such as name.As long as Zhang Zhonghou and Du Mengyuan did not divorce, she would not be able to marry him, she would never be his legal wife, and she would never have the opportunity to put on a wedding dress and hold a wedding in an open and aboveboard manner.No matter how much money he has, he can't buy a second real marriage certificate, so she will never have a chance to own a marriage certificate in her whole life.It’s no wonder that many sisters in the “Second Wife Club” are desperately trying to fight their old wives and seek to be “regularized”.Without a title, you will always be like a mouse, hiding in the ground during the day, only daring to come out at night, looking left and right, sneaking around, for fear of being discovered.Fame not only means a legitimate and aboveboard status, but also represents a man's legal wife's status in public, and has legal effect.To be more realistic, if the two parties part ways once the relationship breaks down, the one with a title is called a divorce, and the one without a title can only be called a breakup.Divorce must of course go through legal procedures, either to the Civil Affairs Bureau, or to the court, and the division of property must be handled according to legal procedures. Breaking up is much simpler. You only need to pack your luggage and walk out of this house, and the two parties will become strangers .Of course, breaking up is not protected by the law, and there is no division of property. Only a man can give alms appropriately according to his conscience.A man with a conscience may miss his old love and give you some money to settle your life; a man without a conscience will only turn his face and deny others, leaving you desperate and unable to seek help.She once read a news article in the newspaper that said: A young girl was cheated by a married man with a heart, she was a mistress for several years, suffered from multiple miscarriages and was infertile for life, and was finally kicked out by the man. Penny, extremely miserable... Sigh, the issue of status really cannot be studied in depth, the more detailed it is, the more people will feel unconfident and depressed.Although she also believed that Zhang Zhonghou was not that kind of heartless man, when she thought about this question, she still felt very uncomfortable.

On the night of December 25th in the lunar calendar, Zhang Zhonghou said after eating at Xu Qiuying's house, "Shadow, I will ask Ping Hai to take you back tomorrow, and I will go back with you and take you home."

Xu Qiuying said: "I don't want you to go, my brother and I can go back together." Of course, she wanted Zhang Zhonghou to be sent back, so that she would have more face in front of the villagers, but she was afraid that she would feel even more uncomfortable.The closer to the end of the year, the more fragile her mood becomes.

"It's okay...there are a lot of things going on in the group these days. It's the end of the year, and there are too many chores." Zhang Zhonghou said with a smile, "Have you bought all the necessities for the new year?"

Xu Qiuying said flatly, "I've bought it."

"Buy more supplements for parents, and give some money. I will pick you up on the sixth day of the first lunar month." Zhang Zhonghou said.

"Okay." Xu Qiuying said.I thought that in Zhang Zhonghou's eyes, happiness is equal to money, and money represents happiness.

"Oh, it's a big Chinese New Year, and I let you go back alone... I have no choice but to take care of the overall situation." Zhang Zhonghou spread his hands and smiled, "Actually, I also want to spend a New Year with you... ..."

"It's okay, I'll go home and stay with my parents... You have historical reasons, and it can't be changed." Xu Qiuying's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Zhang Zhonghou said gratefully: "It's good if you can think like this."

In the past few days near the New Year's Eve, Zhang Zhonghou was also distracted.Thinking of not being able to accompany Xu Qiuying for the New Year, she was pregnant with a child again, and had to go back to her hometown, and felt very sorry.I even thought: next year, let's just gather the grandma and mistress together to celebrate the New Year, and the whole family will have a great time.But after thinking about it, it didn't work. It might be easy for Du Mengyuan to pass, but what about the two sons?How would they see themselves?Maybe it will increase the hatred between father and son.

On the way home, Xu Qiuying was depressed all the time, staring out the car window in a daze.Seeing the green trees on both sides of the expressway receding quickly towards the car, I was filled with emotion.I couldn't help but say to my elder brother beside me: "A mistress is a mistress after all, and I still have to make way for my grandma at critical times."

"It's nothing, Qiu Ying, don't think too complicatedly." Xu Huaiyuan comforted his sister, "Whatever you gain, you must lose. He has already gone back with us for the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now it is the Chinese New Year after all, so he still has to catch it." Big picture."

Another big situation!Xu Qiuying is now particularly harsh on the words "big situation".It's this damn big situation that makes her a person who doesn't see the sun, a different kind of person who is treated differently.

The family's new house has been built to the third floor. These days, everything can be done quickly with money.Her father told her with a smile on her face that three floors would be enough to live in, and after the Chinese New Year, she would be able to live in a new house after decorating it.While speaking, the wrinkles on his face were stretched out, and he was still a little rosy, and he seemed to be in a very happy mood.Seeing her father's appearance made her feel better and felt that she had made a contribution to the family.My brother is right, if you gain something, you will lose something.It is worth sacrificing one of her to make the whole family happy.

Seeing her daughter came back with a big belly, the mother looked very happy, and looked at her daughter's belly with a grin, thinking: Look at this, she will go to live with her daughter in the city after the new year. Be a grandmother!

Seeing his daughter's gloomy look, the father seemed to guess her daughter's thoughts. He smoked a pipe and said, "Qiuying, it's really okay for us to be the second child. It's pretty good. Mr. Zhang is so kind to us, don't you Any ideas."

Xu Qiuying said: "Dad, don't always call him Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, just call him Zhang Zhonghou."

My father shook his head like a rattle, and said repeatedly: "If you want it, you are the big boss, the boss, and someone with status, how can you call him by his name directly?"

Xu Qiuying couldn't laugh or cry: "What boss? No matter how old he is, the boss is your daughter's man, my son's father, your son-in-law."

"Hey, that's the way it is said, the rules still have to be followed." My father said with a meaningful smile, smoking his dry pipe.

Looking at her father's appearance, a trace of sadness passed over Xu Qiuying's heart, and she couldn't help but think of the middle-aged Runtu in Lu Xun's "Hometown".I thought that a mistress is a mistress after all, and even my parents have this view in their bones.

The father took a puff of cigarette and said, "After the new year, your mother will go to the city with you. Besides taking care of the children, she can also help you do something."

Xu Qiuying thought that there was a Filipino maid at home, and she didn't need her parents to do things and take care of her children. She just wanted to live with her parents and be filial to them.He said, "Why don't you go with Mom, and have a companion."

My father shook his head and said, "I won't go. I'm not used to that kind of happiness in my life. When I sit down, my back hurts, but when I do things, I feel comfortable."

Xu Qiuying smiled: "Anyway, you are fine at home."

My father coughed and coughed from a puff of cigarettes, and said intermittently: "No, no, I can't let go... I have to watch them repair the house, and I have to... plant some fields, some corn... sweet potatoes... ..." After finishing speaking, he coughed again and again.

Xu Qiuying interrupted her father and said, "Dad, why are you so tired? Those things are not worth much, and there are a lot of them for sale on the street."

My father spit out thick phlegm towards the door: "Hey, I'm idle too. Plant some of my own soil and bring it to the city for you to eat. When the time comes, I will also send some to Mr. Zhang and his family to eat. They treat us so Well, I don’t have anything good to give people.”

Xu Qiuying's heart suddenly felt like being pricked by a needle.She is always trying to avoid her identity as a mistress, but her father always seems to be reminding her of her identity and rubbing her scars.While she felt a dull pain in her heart, she also felt a great sadness.After all, my father is an honest farmer, and he is deeply rooted in the simple principles of not receiving reward for no merit and repaying kindness, and always feels that he should give Zhang Zhonghou something in return.She really wanted to tell her father: Your daughter is his mistress and bears children for him. He treats us well, that's what he should do!Everything he gave us was bought by your daughter with her body and emotions!After thinking about it, I felt that it was inappropriate to say this, even afraid of hurting my father, so I refrained from saying it.

The whole year passed in a low mood and without interest, and the nagging of her parents made her even more upset.In the eyes of her parents, Zhang Zhonghou didn't seem to be her man, but more like her benefactor, the savior of their family.They always ask her to be nice to others, and ask her to be more considerate and caring about others, don't get angry, don't play temper, don't... Brother really can't listen to it anymore: "Dad, I don't want to listen to you anymore. My sister doesn't If you owe someone, why do you want her to behave with her tail between her legs?"

His father beat the ground with his pipe, and reprimanded Xu Huaiyuan with a stern face: "Young people must behave with their tails between their legs! Your sister is relying on Mr. Zhang now, and you will also depend on Mr. Zhang in the future! Our whole family will depend on Mr. Zhang." !"

"Father! Don't talk about it!" Xu Qiuying's heart ached, her eyes turned hot, she ran out the door with a loud cry, and stood with her head bowed in the biting cold wind, tears streaming down her face.
