On the phone, Ding Nan could clearly feel Sun Yan's fear and helplessness. She understood Sun Yan. On the surface, she was carefree and fearless. When she encountered trouble, she was also a little woman. Sun Yan often told her that it would be great if the two of them lived in the same neighborhood, so that they could take care of each other. Like her now, living alone in Beijing without anyone to call, she didn't even know who to look for when there was an emergency.
"This is the bitterness and helplessness of a single woman. If you understand this kind of bitterness, don't get a divorce. If you really can't do it, get a divorce quickly and find a better one. Delaying won't do anyone any good. You'll also delay yourself. I didn't regret it for years. Women were not like men. Their youth was short!”Ding Nan often advised her.
Ding Nan could not help but feel worried. As she listened to the phone, she walked to the window and opened it, wanting to get a better signal. Then, she asked worriedly,"Don't be anxious. Tell me slowly. What happened?”
Sun Yan's sobbing could be heard intermittently." Last week…Last week, didn't I tell you? I took his identity card and household register for the baby…I registered the baby's household register. Then, I refused to give it to him. He rummaged through my room like a madman, and then…then called the police. I'm so scared. Can you…can you come to my house to accompany me?”
Ding Nan thought that it was already Sunday afternoon and he did not have to go to his part-time job, so he said,"Okay, okay, don't worry. I'll go to your house to find you immediately.”
When they walked into Sun Yan's high-end residential area, Ding Nan could not help but sigh. Although their marriages were very unfortunate, Sun Yan was still luckier than her. At least she had a stable residence, even though it was not a home. She sighed out of habit, pressed the button for the elevator to the ninth floor, and got in.
She knocked on the door and Sun Yan came over to open it. Her eyes were red and she lowered her head. She held the door handle with her left hand and placed her right hand on her forehead. She said in a low voice,"Come in. You don't have to change into slippers.”
When Ding Nan walked into her usually beautiful and tidy home, she was still shocked, even though she was mentally prepared. The house was in a mess. The few cushions on the sofa in the living room were lying on the floor. The square carpet in the middle of the room was also rolled up. The tablecloth on the dining table in front of the French window was also crumpled. The drawer of the TV cabinet was pulled askew, and the things inside were in a mess. He walked into a few more rooms. The bedsheets, wardrobe, and table were all in a mess. The curtains of one of the rooms had been pulled down and piled up at the side. Even the kitchen and bathroom were not spared. Cups, broken bowls, and toilet paper were rolling all over the floor. At first glance, they thought that a group of thieves had come in and robbed them.
Ding Nan's heart also became chaotic and depressed. She walked back to the living room. Sun Yan followed behind her like a frightened bird. There was still fear in her eyes, and she had lost all her previous thoughts. She looked at Sun Yan pitifully and asked,""They all left?"
Sun Yan walked over unsteadily and lay down on the sofa without a cushion. Her voice seemed to come from her nostrils. It was strange and weak. She patted the side and said,"Let's go. Sit down first. I don't want to clean it up either. It's annoying to look at it.”
Ding Nan walked over and sat down beside her. He held her hand and looked at her with a worried expression." How did this happen? Didn't you say that he had already given you his identity card and household register last week? Didn't he already agree to register the child first before getting a divorce?”
Sun Yan smiled bitterly and looked at Ding Nan. After a while, she said,""Yes, I was thinking that I had his household register and identity card. Can I negotiate for a divorce? I wanted him to leave his house to the baby, but he said that it was impossible. He wanted to sell it. I asked him to pay the child's child support until he was eighteen years old, but he refused. Think about it, if he goes abroad again, who am I going to ask for child support? "I've consulted a lawyer. If he goes to the United States again, he'll sell his property in the country and won't give me any child support. It'll be very difficult to resolve it through the domestic laws. I basically can't do anything about him.”
Ding Nan nodded and put down Sun Yan's hand. She went to the cabinet under the water dispenser and found two disposable paper cups. She poured two cups of water and brought them over. She placed them on the coffee table in front of the sofa. She sat down, drank some water, and asked,""So he came to your place to look like this and called the police?”
Sun Yan also took a sip from her cup and put it down.""He called me first and asked if I was at home. He said that he was coming to get his ID card and household register. I didn't want to give it to him before the divorce was settled. I said that I left it at work after I finished my business two days ago and forgot to bring it home. After a while, he came up and rummaged around the house like a madman, smashing things. I thought that he would leave after making a scene. I didn't expect that he wouldn't give up after half an hour. He even called the police. Soon, two policemen arrived. They were fully armed and cold. I'm usually afraid of the police and stay far away from them.”
Ding Nan's eyes widened as she looked at Sun Yan. Did the police make things difficult for you?"
Sun Yan looked like she still had lingering fear as she said,"Not really. He saw that I was a woman, so he asked me a few questions. Did you take his ID card? Do you know that it's illegal to keep someone else's ID card? Hurry up and give it to him. Don't delay things. I was so scared that I quickly found it and gave it to him. Then, the police officer added," In the future, you should solve this kind of family matter by yourself. 110 is not your landline, so don't call for no reason." He even glared at me before he left.”
Ding Nan thought about that scene and felt that it was quite horrifying. She could not help but say with a sad expression,"If it were me, I would be afraid too. I'm usually afraid of the police too.”
Sun Yan nodded repeatedly." Yes, I didn't cry at that time. When they left, I was scared just thinking about it. Oh my god, the police came to my house and turned it upside down. It was clearly a civil dispute, but it was like a criminal investigation. Then, I felt very wronged and started crying. That's why I called you.”
"Miss, be more careful in the future and use your brain. Look at this matter, it's so senseless. What are your plans for the future? Why don't we get a divorce earlier? It's been almost two years, right? You're also wasting your youth.”Ding Nan looked at her and said.
"Sigh, actually, I still don't want to get a divorce. After all, there's no big problem with my principles. He didn't do much wrong. However, it's not up to me now. I don't think he has any intention of improving. Our relationship has been deteriorating." Sun Yan let out a long sigh and said with endless melancholy.
"Then think about it carefully and make a decision early.”
"Besides, we haven't settled the matter yet. How can we get a divorce? If he didn't give her a house, she couldn't pay her child support in one go. She would pay monthly. I wanted 3,000 yuan, but he only gave her 2,000 yuan. With these 2,000 yuan, she might go overseas one day and have nothing left. She also said that she would give the baby to him and not ask for any child support from me.”
"What if we give the child to him? If she followed him, she would live in the United States sooner or later. It would be good for the child, so that she wouldn't have to think about leaving the country when she grew up.”
"What do you think? You're a divorcee who wants a child. What do you think?”
"It's a very contradictory matter. To be fair, it would be best to have the child with whoever had better conditions.”
"Anything else?"
"If it's for our own sake, of course I advise you not to have the child and give it to him. Everyone knows that it's not easy to find a woman to take care of a child. Otherwise, the People's Liberation Army and I wouldn't be like that. However, it seemed that it was better for the child to follow his mother. I heard from a friend that if a child whose parents are divorced follows his mother, he may only hate his father in the future, but if he follows his father, he may hate both his father and mother in the future. One could imagine the deep meaning behind it. Sometimes, when I think about it, I feel very heavy.”Ding Nan said with a solemn expression. It was as if a ball of lead was pressing down on his heart, and he could not feel relieved for a long time.
"I'm in a difficult position when you say that. However, my parents can't bear to part with the baby, and I can't either. It's a girl, and she's still too young. It's better for her to stay with her mother. Besides, if the baby is given to him, I'm sure he'll adopt it to his sister. I'm afraid the baby will be wronged. So, I think I'll fight for a child.”Sun Yan also had a heavy expression and could not help but sigh.
"Let's not talk about it, let's not talk about it. It's so depressing. Let's relax. Go play some cheerful music. Let's quickly clean up this place. This place is like a messy pigsty. Are you planning to get a part-time cleaner to clean up?" Ding Nan looked at his phone. It was almost six o'clock. He stood up and said.
"There's no need. Take it slow. It's fine anyway. You know I like money, so I can save it.”Sun Yan also stood up and casually picked up a few sofa cushions beside her feet. She placed them on the sofa, turned on her computer, and played a brisk song.
The two of them put the carpet away together. Ding Nan went to help her tidy up the drawer under the TV cabinet in the living room and arranged the items inside neatly. Sun Yan picked up the white tablecloth on the table and kicked towards the bathroom. After two "pa" and "pa" sounds, the sound of the washing machine lid being opened and covered could be heard. Not long after, the muffled sound of water being drained could be heard.
"You're really something!" Sun Yan asked when she walked out. I'm curious. You've been with Wang Rui for half a year, and you don't have any feelings at all?”
"I don't feel anything. When I look at him, all I can think about is the People's Liberation Army. I know this is bad, but I have no choice. I feel very guilty towards him! And you!" Ding Nan sighed and said faintly.
"I'm fine. However, you're a lovestruck person. I'm afraid you're hopeless. They could be affectionate and infatuated, but the premise was that they had found the right person and the other party had to be worthy! Was he worth it? Ask your own heart!" Sun Yan regained her straightforwardness. Ding Nan felt that she was like a child sometimes. Bad moods came and went quickly. It was easy for her to find an exit and vent her negative emotions. This kind of person was not easily injured, which was very enviable.
"Why do we still look forward to it when we know it's not worth it? Sometimes, she would even find excuses for men to hurt us and forgive them.”Ding Nan stopped what she was doing and looked at Sun Yan.
"People love to be cheap. In relationships, there seemed to be a misunderstanding. It seemed that the more despicable you were, the deeper you felt that you loved someone. The easier it was to get something, the more you felt that you didn't love the other party.”Sun Yan said disapprovingly.
"Brilliant! That seems to be the case."
"Come on, we're not little girls anymore. It's better to be less romantic and more realistic.”
The sky outside the window gradually darkened.
