Losing was a forced letting go, possessing was an illusion of self-satisfaction; Life is full of changes. In fact, the things that truly belong to you can often make people ignore the joy of having her and the pain of losing her!
The winter in the north was unusually cold. The unbridled snow continued to invade this beautiful and historic ancient city. There were three heavy snows in a week, and the trees and houses were buried in white snow. The wide streets were piled with cleared snow. The city was covered in silver, and strings of silver icicles crushed the wires on the street poles to the ground. Power outage became the most annoying and common thing for the people in this winter. They could not watch TV or play on the Internet. The wooden bed that was like an ice cellar was even more unbearable. I curled up and covered my head with the blanket. After working for more than ten days in a row, I finally had a break today. I originally planned to have a good sleep, but I didn't expect to encounter a power outage in the neighborhood. I wonder how Mom and I will spend this winter?
The snow outside the window rustled, and the blanket was getting colder and colder. It seemed that he could not sleep at all. I slowly climbed out of bed and wrapped my delicate body with the quilt. I rubbed my sleepy eyes and looked at the snowflakes on the window. I couldn't help but be in a daze. This month, there were five or six consecutive heavy snows. 80% of the roads in this city were covered in varying degrees of snow and ice. Due to the poor road conditions, many pedestrians unfortunately fell and fractured their bones. There were also traffic accidents one after another. The orthopedic department of the city hospital I was in was quickly filled with patients. Working overtime became a daily routine. It made it difficult for someone like me to lose weight. I didn't take any diet pills or spend money to go to the gym. In the blink of an eye, I went from a 120-pound heavyweight to a 98-pound white bone spirit. Looking at my youthful and beautiful face and proud figure, I should be secretly happy. However, it's not a good thing to lose weight too quickly. My immune system has become very weak, and I get tired easily. If it wasn't for me sneezing and yawning repeatedly at work yesterday, the chief guard wouldn't have let me go home to rest.
The snow was getting heavier and heavier. My entire body was trembling as if cold water had been poured on it. I took the clothes from the bed and put them on one by one. However, before I could finish putting on my clothes, I sneezed loudly again. I laughed at myself."People are going downhill. Even the flu virus is bullying them. Think about it, when they saw me holding a syringe in my hand in the past, they would always run around!”
"Qiuqiu, are you alright? Mom suggests that you have a good talk with Gu Cheng. How big is their house? The heater is warmer than spring, yet you have to come to our broken house to suffer!”His mother walked into the house with a bowl of steaming ginger soup.
I put on my clothes and stared blankly at my elderly mother. Who doesn't want to have a good life? However, those comfortable lives have become the past for me. No matter how big the house is, no matter how warm the bed is, without feelings, it's as chilling as the winter.
"Qiuqiu, did you hear what Mom said? One day as husband and wife, a hundred days of love! Gu Cheng isn't a bad person, so don't be stubborn!”Mom saw that I didn't respond to her words like a block of wood, so she said earnestly.
"Mom, he's not bad? He already had a child with someone else! Is there a need for me to talk to him?" I couldn't help but ask Mom in a stern voice. My entire body started to tremble. I always thought that I was the happiest woman in the world. Gu Cheng's love for me was unwavering, and we would grow old together. However, he was like all the rich young masters. He wanted to change women after the novelty passed. Actually, I can't blame Gu Cheng for this. I can only blame myself for being too stupid and trusting of others. I thought that he was an extraordinary man in this world.
Mom was shocked by my reaction. She looked at me seriously and didn't say anything for a long time. You have to know that I've always been obedient and sensible since I was young. No matter if my mother's words were right or wrong, I've never rebuked her loudly. But today, because of Gu Cheng, I treated my mother's kindness as a burden and was so rude to her.
"Mom, I'm sorry!" I looked at my mother's white hair and felt a sour feeling in my heart. A stream of hot tears almost flowed out of my eyes.
Mom held my cold hands and said earnestly,"I know you're upset, but I still don't think Gu Cheng is that kind of person! Did you misunderstand him?"
"Misunderstanding? He was just good at pretending! Are you still my biological mother? Why do you always speak up for that bastard! I never want to hear his name again!”I originally wanted to suppress the frustration in my heart and have a good chat with Mom, but I didn't expect Mom to actually speak up for Gu Cheng, saying that I had wronged him. He had already gotten a girl pregnant, so why would I have wronged him?
Mom was completely stunned by my loss of control again. The porcelain bowl in her hand shook violently and a few drops of ginger soup splashed out.
I felt that I had really gone too far this time. Mom did this because she didn't want me to lose this rich husband and live with her in this dilapidated community to suffer. I actually went against her like this again.
I felt extremely guilty. I held back the tears in my eyes and hurriedly whispered to my mother,"Mom, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it!”Then, he reached out and took the porcelain bowl from his mother's hand.
"Qiuqiu, I'm just as upset as you are about this, but I don't want you to live a hard life! Gu Cheng has everything now. He doesn't lack a house or a car. You don't have to divorce him because of his little mistake. It's inevitable for a man to make some mistakes outside. Moreover, he always has to go out to socialize. If you really divorce him, that mistress will be very happy!”Mom is my biological mother after all. Like all mothers in the world, she wasn't angry at me, this bastard daughter. Instead, she calmly advised me to reconcile with Gu Cheng.
I didn't want my mom to be upset about Gu Cheng and me. I picked up the porcelain bowl and drank the ginger soup in big mouthfuls. I changed the topic and said,"Mom, your ginger candies are getting better and better.”
Mom knew that I was trying to interrupt on purpose. She smiled and glared at me."Don't interrupt. You have to listen to Mom and talk to Gu Cheng again. Try to make him forget about that vixen.”
I forced a smile." Mom, I know. Don't worry. I'll try my best!"”
"Remember Mom's words. Don't get a divorce.”His mother reminded him again.
"Alright, Mom! Fine, I'll go out for a walk!”I really didn't want to listen to my mother's nagging anymore, so I put on my down jacket and walked straight out of the house. How would my mother know that the person who wants a divorce is not me, but the rich son-in-law she has always thought highly of?
Gu Cheng was a well-known second-generation heir in this city. His father had gone into business in his early years and now had more than ten branches across the country. As the old man grew older, he handed half of the business to his son. Gu Cheng did not disappoint his family. In less than three years, he had expanded the Gu family's business by several times. From the previous shopping mall sales to the current real estate development, he was involved in almost every industry. This also made him, a young, handsome, and wealthy young man, quickly become the target of pursuit by young ladies and young wives. The people who proposed marriage almost broke the door of his family, and there was no lack of rich and powerful daughters among them. However, no one expected me to meet this rich husband. For an ordinary woman like me to meet such a handsome man, it was simply a blessing that I had cultivated for several lifetimes. I was so excited that I wanted to kowtow to the heavens three times.
This matter had to be explained in detail two years ago. At that time, I had just graduated from nursing school and applied for the Orthopedics Department of the City Central Hospital with my own ability. On the first day of work, a big shot came to the department. It was the famous young entrepreneur in the city, Gu Cheng. At that time, he was in a car accident and his calf was shattered. He happened to be placed on the hospital bed that I was in charge of. Out of my passion for work and responsibility for the patient, I took extra care of Gu Cheng. Gu Cheng thought that I had ulterior motives for him and was actually attracted by my thoughtfulness and kindness. He began to send me flowers anonymously and even wrote me love letters. After I found out, I rejected Gu Cheng's love. The reason was very simple. It was because the gap between the rich and the poor was too big. I've always believed that if we don't have the same family background, we won't be able to have a happy marriage. I don't want his family to say that I'm trying to climb up the social ladder, but the nurses in the department call me stupid. They say that I still want to push away a good man that others are trying their best to get. No matter what others said, I was still not moved by Gu Cheng's illustrious identity. In order to avoid him, I gave his treatment to other nurses who had a good impression of him, but he still refused to give up. He would call me to his ward for no reason, even if I was angry and cold. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Gu Cheng had finally recovered and was discharged from the hospital. I heaved a sigh of relief. I thought that Gu Cheng was a rich young master. What he did during his hospitalization must have been on a whim. I didn't expect Gu Cheng to officially start pursuing me after he was discharged from the hospital. Every day when I got off work, he would wait at the hospital entrance. At noon, he would ask the fast food restaurant to send food to the department. Every now and then, he would even send a bouquet of roses. In order to make me accept him, Gu Cheng even pretended to be a commoner. He didn't drive a car or wear branded clothes. Slowly, I was moved by his infatuation. Coupled with the intentional prodding of my colleagues in the department, I put down my initial opinion of family status and decided to give Gu Cheng a chance to start dating him. She did not expect Gu Cheng to be completely different from those rich young masters. He was approachable, hardworking, and very good to his employees. He often donated supplies to people living in remote and poor places. After more than a year of dating, I really fell in love with him. Under everyone's envious gazes, we stepped into the hall of marriage. After we got married, our relationship was very good, but after half a year, there was a small friction. Gu Cheng complained that I always worked night shifts and didn't care about his feelings. He asked me to quit my job at the hospital and go home to be a full-time wife. But why did I attend the medical university for four years? Wasn't it just so that he could wear a holy white coat and complete his mission of saving the dying and healing the wounded? Gu Cheng made it sound easy for him. If he wanted me to resign, I would resign. In order to enter this tertiary Grade A hospital, I had to go through five obstacles and put in a lot of effort. Now that I've finally made some achievements and can be considered a little popular in the department, how can I be willing to give up my sacred career for a man? Yes, Gu Cheng is very rich. He's the boss of several companies and earns tens of millions a month. My salary of less than 3,000 yuan is not worth mentioning in front of him, but he has his pursuits and I have my dreams. I don't want him to dictate my fate and have to rely on him for the rest of my life.
The conflict became more and more intense in our casual argument. Gu Cheng called me an idiot. For a salary of less than 3,000 yuan, I was actually willing to take the patient's feces and pee. How could this be done by Mrs. Gu? And I didn't show any weakness either. You have to know that doing those things was my job. I loved nursing and never felt that it was cheap. But what did Gu Cheng know? He only had money in his eyes. I was so angry that I called him a black-hearted boss who would eat people without spitting out bones. Gu Cheng was so angry that his face turned ashen, but in the end, because he loved me, he still lowered his head and expressed his goodwill to me. But no matter how much he loved me, his determination to make me resign never wavered. His reason was very simple. He didn't want me to work too hard and let others think that he didn't love me enough. Such touching words might have moved countless women to tears, but this stubborn donkey of mine didn't appreciate it. I even deliberately asked the head nurse to make more night shifts for me. If there were any serious patients, I would rush to the front. My colleagues laughed at me for deliberately acting out and wanting to sit in the position of head nurse, but I just smiled. With me coming to the hospital for less than two years and not having any family background, it was even harder for me to become a head nurse than winning the lottery.
Time passed very quickly. We barely talked for a month. During the day, when I was at home, Gu Cheng was at the company. At night, when Gu Cheng was at home, I was on night duty at the hospital. The difference in time caused a qualitative change in our relationship. Originally, he would call me every day for lunch to remind me not to forget to eat, but my phone hasn't rung for the past few days. My colleagues in the department all felt strange and asked me if I had a conflict with my husband. I covered it up and said that my husband had been busy with work recently, but in fact, I was not sure. After such a long time of not communicating, Gu Cheng wouldn't be looking for another woman, right? I realized the seriousness of the matter and wanted to have a good talk with him, but he was already busy with work to avoid me. Later on, he didn't go home for three to five days. A woman's self-awareness told me that he must have had an affair and was just waiting to tell me the word divorce.
