Yes, Lao Xiang has had time to recall during the period of recovery. He has no idea how long he has not had a serious meal at home, watched TV with his children, and went shopping with his wife. Over the years, he has devoted all his time to "business", but he has no emotional contribution to his family except for constantly giving money.

He felt a little guilty, but he always felt that this guilt came too late.

...

That night, Lao Xiang led his wife Xiaofeng to a charcoal hotpot restaurant with Northeast characteristics, and then picked a seat by the window and sat down.

More than ten minutes later, the spicy soup in the copper pot was boiling, and the tabletop was filled with beef, mutton, vegetables, blinds, lunch meat and other hotpots. Lao Xiang rubbed his palms, smiled and picked up the wine pot to Xiaofeng and said, "Drink some!"

"I won't drink anymore!" Xiaofeng waved his hand without any expression on her face.

"Drink some, haha!" After Lao Xiang persuaded him, he reached out and poured Xiaofeng a whole glass of white wine.

Xiaofeng sat opposite Lao Xiang, as if she had a premonition, so she looked very tense and never dared to look at Lao Xiang from beginning to end.

"Come on, take a sip!" Lao Xiang looked at Xiaofeng and raised his glass.

After Xiaofeng pursed her lips and was silent for a while, she let out a long sigh, showing a calm expression and clashed with Lao Xiang. She even tilted her neck and drank half of the glass of white wine.

"What are you doing in such a hurry?" Lao Xiang asked after a moment of fright.

"Our children are in middle school. Don't I know you yet? If you have something to do, just say it!" Xiaofeng's face looked slightly rosy, and she looked up at Lao Xiang and responded.

Lao Xiang looked at Xiaofeng lit a cigarette, asked with a smile on his face, "Guess what I want to tell you?"

"...If you don't tell me, I want to tell you too." Xiaofeng gasped and tilted her head lightly to look at Lao Xiang and said, "On the day you had an accident, I told you that if you want to leave, our house will disperse. But you were injured later, and I didn't mention this to you!"

"Divorce?" Lao Xiang asked softly after being silent for a while.

"Yes, divorce, but it's not!" Xiaofeng forced herself and responded without any expression on her face.

"Haha, for that man?" Lao Xiang asked with a rosy smile.

Xiaofeng was stunned when she heard the sound.

"I saw that you two were talking in the corridor that day, and I was about to go to the toilet." Lao Xiang was calm at this moment, but the ash on his fingers had fallen into the seasoning bowl, and he didn't notice it.

Xiaofeng pursed her lips and didn't reply.

"Before I saw you two, I always thought that you were hurt by these things I did. But now it seems that this is not the reason, right?" Lao Xiang asked again.

Xiaofeng looked at him and still said nothing.

"Oh!" Lao Xiang sighed, turned his head and looked out the window, and said in a trembling voice: "It's over now, it doesn't matter if I ask the bottom of it! Xiaofeng, I, Lao Xiang, have I never disgusted myself in my life, so I will ask you a childish thing. We have been married for so many years, have you betrayed me?"

"Haha!" Xiaofeng laughed at the sound.

Lao Xiang looked at him with a stubborn look.

"What you want to ask is, have I never slept with him, right?" Xiaofeng looked at Lao Xiang, and his words were very direct.

"Yes!" Lao Xiang nodded with gritted teeth.

"Then let me ask you first, have you been outside for some years, have you ever looked for other women or have you ever slept with other women?" Xiaofeng asked softly with a heart-wrenching heart.

After saying that, Lao Xiang lowered his head and was silent for nearly half a minute before suddenly looking up and confessing truthfully: "I have found it and have also slept!"

"But I don't. For so many years, I have never betrayed you in addition to fulfilling the obligation of a woman!" Xiaofeng said to Lao Xiang firmly: "But I must admit that I don't know when I no longer love you..."

After hearing this, Lao Xiang believed in her heart that Xiaofeng had never betrayed her, but for some reason, her heart felt more painful and even more panicked.

"I want to leave with him and divorce you!" Xiaofeng raised her glass again, stuffed her glass of wine, pursed her lips and said firmly: "But I did this not because you are not good, now I have no money, but when you left the house, I decided so much. I gave up, it's that simple."

"Okay, agree to the divorce!" Lao Xiang nodded heavily and said, "But there is a condition!"

"you say!"

"Nan Nan must be raised by me. If you want to leave, don't come back, never show up, just start your life again with the person you love!" Lao Xiang stared at Xiaofeng with his eyes tightly, and his words were very straightforward.

Xiaofeng sat on the chair, listening to Lao Xiang's words, and fell silent again, because the only thing that could make her worry about or nostalgic in this family might be Xiangnan.

After Lao Xiang proposed the conditions, he kept breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, because he knew better than anyone else that he was not heartless, but was doing the final retention. He hoped to use the child to keep Xiaofeng and make the other party change his mind.

"...Okay, Lao Xiang, I agree that the child can be raised by you!" Xiaofeng said with tears in her eyes and trembling lips: "But I want a deposit of 150,000 yuan, I want to divide the family!"

At this moment, after hearing Xiaofeng's words, Lao Xiang was extremely shocked and even couldn't believe that Xiaofeng, who had been giving all her to the family, not only decided to give up the custody of the child, but also took the initiative to open his mouth to separate the family and ask for money.

"Do you think I have changed?" Xiaofeng poured himself a glass of wine, cried and smiled at Lao Xiang.

"…!" Lao Xiang lowered his head and was silent, without saying a word.

"Old Xiang!! I have given my first half of my life, the first half of my life, the best years of a woman, the family's food, the food, oil and salt, and every night I worry about something happening to you, so I don't owe anyone! I just owe myself the fuck. I didn't realize it before, but now I realize it, I want to compensate, and I will live for myself for the rest of my life." Xiaofeng growled excitedly and said to Lao Xiang: "Xiao Nan

It’s your child, I raised him, I watched him as he was about to become an adult, and in the future, it’s your father’s responsibility! We have been married for nearly seventeen years, and I will take care of you 150,000 yuan. That’s not much, it’s less than ten thousand yuan a year… I can’t do anything except doing housework, cooking, and tutoring children’s homework. I don’t have a job, and I can’t get the recognition of society! Then I can only... I need a guarantee for you!”

"Stop talking, Xiaofeng! I will give the money, and I will raise the child!" Lao Xiang gritted his teeth and slapped the table and said, "We will go through the procedures tomorrow, let's part with you!"
