Days after Breaking up with My Ex

My aunt didn't say much. She just asked me to pick up my cousin and hang up.

I couldn't help but sigh. When I went to my aunt's house, my cousin said she was going to get a divorce, but now it's been a few months. I thought the two of them have made up again. I didn't expect that after such a long time, they still left.

I called my cousin and told her to wait for me after she told me the location.

Then I told Hu Zi about it, and Hu Zi told me to do it first, so he took a taxi home first, and I drove to pick up my cousin.

Twenty minutes later, I picked up my cousin.

When I saw my cousin, she was thinner than the last time. Her face was pale and she looked very haggard. I think my cousin must have been very sad these past few months. And her eyes were red, obviously not long after she cried.

My cousin only carried a suitcase. I walked over to my cousin and asked, "Sister qi, where's Zhan?"

"Follow his father." Cousin's voice sounded like the wind would blow away.

I took the suitcase in my cousin's hand, looked at her painfully and said, "Can you bear it?"

My cousin didn't answer, but a pained look appeared on her face. I sighed in my heart and helped her open the door. Instead of taking the passenger seat, my cousin sat in the back row.

I put the suitcase away and sat in the driver's seat. Through the rearview mirror, I saw that my cousin was already lying in the back. She was listless and listless.

I was driving when my cousin suddenly said, "Xing Yun, I don't want to go home right now. Take me around."

I "Oh" a sound, did not say much, slowly started the car, pulled my cousin around in Pucheng.

It's good to relax.

I didn't go to a crowded place because I knew that what my cousin needed most was silence, so I dragged her to a less crowded place.

Along the way, my cousin didn't say a word. She just lay tired in the back, and I couldn't see her expression in the car. She wanted to comfort her cousin, but she didn't know what to say. Now, she must be feeling extremely difficult.

I drove along the side of the open road, driving very slowly. There were all kinds of flowers and trees on both sides of the road, but no matter how bright the color was, it would not make my cousin's mood bright.

I don't know when, the sound of sobbing gradually came from behind, and I said sadly, "Sister, don't cry."

When I was in primary school in Pucheng, I lived with my aunt. My cousin was very close to me and we were very close. So even if she was a few years older than me, there was no generation gap between us.

Seeing how upset she was, I really wanted to feel bad for her!

But my words didn't work at all. My cousin's cries grew louder and louder. I had to stop the car, turn around and pat her on the back. Since she wanted to cry, let's cry for a while.

It might be better to cry.

After all, she and her cousin's husband and wife for so many years, there must still be feelings, and now her son is also with her cousin's husband, I can't help but sigh, my heart has become heavy.

Why can't so many people who love each other reach the end? And why did so many married people end up getting divorced?

Is love so hard to maintain?

How much I want an indestructible love, no wind or rain will waver!

I didn't look at the time, but it felt like my cousin had been crying for a long time, and my heart was broken. Listening to her cry, my heart was as painful as a knife.

But it was already this far and there was no turning back.

After a long time, my cousin stopped crying. She got out of the car and I handed her some paper. I asked again, "Are you better, Sister qi?"

Cousin nodded lightly.

I asked again, "Has Zhan followed his father since then?"

My cousin breathed deeply and her breath trembled slightly. She choked and said, "Well, I will follow his father from now on. I gave up on my own initiative. Live better with his father. I don't have a job. How can I support him? But it's so close that you can see him whenever you want..."

As she spoke, her cousin covered her mouth again and couldn't help but burst into tears. However, she desperately covered her mouth and suppressed her own crying, "I'm sorry for Zhan. I'm sorry for him. We're divorced. The one who hurt the most is the child!"

My cousin's words made me feel bad again, and I could not help but think of the appearance of a little open-minded heart. Now that my parents divorced, I'm afraid it would cause an indelible shadow in his life, and the divorce of my parents would hurt him too much.

But what can I do? I really can't go on. It's not the way to make a fuss between the two of them.

I don't seem to be able to do anything but sigh.

I was even a little angry with my cousin and my cousin's husband. After all these years of marriage, they should have settled down a long time ago, but why did they quarrel all day long, like children?

I couldn't help but ask, "Sister qi, why did you two get divorced? Is he sorry for you?"

"No." Cousin shook her head and said slowly, "Our divorce is not a matter of days and nights, but a backlog of things that caused today's situation. In fact, a lot of couples are the same as us. Most of their lives are about tolerating each other, but to a certain extent, they can't tolerate it. A quarrel can lead to many other problems, just like the ignition, the more the more the fire, the more the fire. Seven years of itching, we just didn't walk over."

Seven years itch?

Where is the itch?

I've never been married, nor have I been in a relationship for seven years, so I don't know what the seven-year itch is.

It's just that I can't help but imagine that if Ding Ge and I were married, would there be another seven-year itch between us?

"Seven-year itch?" I smiled bitterly. "What exactly is the seven-year itch?"

"This is a problem that every husband and wife will encounter. Without the itch of seven years, there will be an itch of ten years, and an itch of twenty years will stop. When you get married, you will understand." Cousin replied.

I suddenly felt a great sadness in my heart, but for some reason, for my cousin and my brother-in-law? Or for that love? Or for this era?

...

It was half the night before my cousin and I went back.

I glanced at my haggard cousin and said, "It's okay. The past is over. Sister qi, you can definitely find a better one."

Life always has to move on. Cousin divorced, but life still has to go on. She's still young, so she can't be single.

My cousin sighed and said, "Who knows? Actually, your brother-in-law... He's pretty good."

I frowned disapprovingly and said, "He hit you before, and you still speak for him?"

I don't really know much about my cousin's husband, but the time he hit my cousin, I put the death penalty on him in my heart.

But cousin said, "You don't know the process. At that time, she didn't want him. That day, Zhan was naughty, and I hit him angrily. Then your brother-in-law got angry, and subconsciously pushed me, not on purpose. Then I accidentally bumped my face against the door, but I was also very angry at that time, and then the two of them had a big fight, so I looked for you. It looks like it's actually my fault. I shouldn't have hit the child."

Perhaps she thought of Zhan again, and tears welled up in her cousin's eyes.

I didn't expect the truth of the domestic violence to be like this. It seems that I really wronged my cousin's husband. If he really did not mean it, then no wonder he did.

"Your brother-in-law... He's not the kind of person you think he is. He's quite good. He's ambitious, filial, and treats Zhan and me very well."

I was surprised to hear what my cousin said. I didn't expect my cousin to say so much good things about her brother-in-law.

I curled my lips and asked, "In that case, you still..."

There was no emotion on her cousin's face and she said to me, "You're still young, Xing Yun. You'll understand when you get married. Eighty to ninety percent of couples can only share hardships, but they can't be reconciled. Although your brother-in-law and I used to live in poverty, and we often quarreled at that time, life was still very sweet, especially when Zhan was just born. I was quite satisfied, but maybe we both had too much character..."

"If both of us were gentler, we might not get divorced. But sometimes we really can't change much. Our tempers are one of the most important factors leading to our divorce. But on the whole, I think it's probably because of the changes in our lives that we can't live on."

I continued to listen to my cousin and said nothing.

"Do you know? Now our lives are actually much better than before. Your brother-in-law has been able to make a lot of money these past two years. His life has really improved a lot, but it is inevitable that he is much busier than before. We get together more and leave less, and then come home almost quarreling. After a day of quarreling and cold war, it seems that we have no other communication."

I listened to my cousin quietly. Although sometimes I felt that my cousin's temper was too irritable, I still stood on her side. After all, she was my sister, and I still felt that my cousin's husband was a big man who did something wrong. He was a man who didn't know to give in to his cousin?

My cousin seemed to have guessed what I was thinking and said, "The reason for our divorce must be mutual. It can't be said who is absolutely right or wrong. If it's not for reasons like infidelity or domestic violence, there's still a relationship between husband and wife, then basically both parties are responsible."

I smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you still have feelings for your cousin's husband?"

My cousin nodded and said, "A day is a day for a husband and wife. We have been married for so many years. How can we not have feelings?"

"Then is it possible for you to remarry?"

I listened to my cousin's words and thought a lot. Since both of them have deep feelings for each other, and most importantly, there is Zhan. The remarriage of the two is the best for xiao zhan, which is what I want to see the most.

However, cousin shook her head without hesitation and said, "Xing Yun, it's impossible. We can't get married again!"
