The breakup fee, this matter is known to everyone in the village. Shen Damei's helpless expression and Zhou Jianqi's resolute attitude became the focus of discussion among the villagers. Shen Damei, a rural woman who used to work silently, now has to face such a challenge, which makes people feel the impermanence of life.
The details of this relationship spread through the village like an ink painting. Shen Damei's immaturity when she first started, and Zhou Jianqi's silent waiting, have become the talk of the villagers after dinner. The love and hatred between them are delicate and confusing, and people can't help but sigh for their fate.
Zhou Jianqi's age can't help but remind people of the passage of time. His forehead was full of wrinkles, and there were deep crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, and the years had carved an indelible mark on his face. And Shen Damei's eyes seem to reveal a hint of girlhood dreams and shyness, which makes people worry about her plans for the future.
This breakup makes people wonder, how does love fade over the years? Not to mention a man in his 50s and a woman in his 55s? The emotional entanglement between them may only be truly understood by themselves.
Perhaps, the story of this small village is destined to be passed down from generation to generation. It's like that long dusk, when the sun sets, leaving only a golden place, bathed in the light of love and parting. Shen Damei and Zhou Jianqi are as warm as dusk and as gorgeous as the sunset, and their stories will be quietly sung in the village. In order to find out the truth, everyone decided to do it. Shen Damei pushed open the door and saw Zhou Jianqi curled up on the bed, looking at everyone impatiently.
Drinking is my business, and I don't need you to worry about it. Zhou Jianqi's tone was stubborn, as if announcing his firm position to everyone.
A trace of disappointment flashed in Shen Damei's heart, and her 15-year relationship was destroyed by a table of liquor. Tears slid down her face, and she quietly left the room, leaving everyone silent in the room.
Someone couldn't help but ask, "Is this the reason for the breakup?" Shen Damei raised her head, her eyes revealing helplessness and exhaustion: "Perhaps, in the past 15 years, the relationship between us has long ceased to exist." ”
However, Shin Damei knows that this is nothing more than a lie, and the 15-year emotional journey is not so fragile. I'd rather choose to believe that this is a hot circus than a sad ending from which I can't escape.
Zhou Jianqi remained silent all the time, as if telling a secret between the two of them. Perhaps, only they know the truth.
In this room, there is endless sadness and helplessness, and at this critical moment, it seems that the end of everything is already doomed. But in the face of the cruelest game in the world, how should they choose?
Perhaps, the 15-year love story will eventually turn the page in an unexpected way, and the tears and sadness of this scene are hidden in the softest corner of everyone's heart.
Time in the room seemed to freeze, and everyone's mood was trapped in this unresolved emotional vortex, like a deep quagmire and unable to struggle. It's a battle for both of them, and it's the only one for them.
And with the last rays of afterglow vanishing, there was only silence in the room, as if time had also stood still at this moment, leaving only those unspeakable secrets and endless suspicions. No one knows what kind of turning point the 15-year emotional journey will usher in. Hearing these words, Zhou Jianqi felt as if he was being used as a tool, and his heart couldn't help but feel endless grievances and dissatisfaction. He recalled all the hardships of silently taking care of his eldest aunt and guarding the family over the years, and felt that he deserved a due reward.
As time passed, the relationship between them turned out to be so fragile and so vulnerable. Zhou Jianqi couldn't help but secretly regret why he never realized that Shen Damei had no place for him in his heart. All this made him feel extremely painful and helpless.
At this moment when the truth was revealed, Zhou Jianqi finally realized that in the past 15 years, they may have never really understood each other, nor have they experienced real life together. Everything is warm on the surface, but the loneliness and emptiness in the heart are becoming more and more profound.
Standing at the door of the room, Zhou Jianqi felt as if he was a helpless child, forced to face the helplessness and cruelty of life. Although this house is a carrier of memories for him, the house at this moment is no longer his home.
When Zhou Jianqi recalled the bits and pieces between him and Shen Damei in the past, he deeply realized that there is a world of difference between true love and superficial dependence in life. Perhaps, this breakup is an inevitable compulsory lesson in their lives, teaching them to learn to accept reality with each other and let go of the baggage of the past.
Zhou Jianqi finally understood that in the face of love and family affection, only honesty, tolerance and understanding are the real strength. Perhaps, this house is no longer his home, but for him, the memories and lessons it leaves behind will always be precious. The days are still passing, and he has to learn to let go and learn to start over. This is perhaps the most difficult lesson of his life, but it is also the most precious one. Zhou Jianqi turned around angrily, but Shen Damei retorted with a sneer that Shen Damei was full of lies. She said that the eldest aunt's house only had two bedrooms, but in fact it was a two-bedroom apartment, which completely distorted the facts.
Shin Damei also went on to say that when her aunt was alive, she and Shin Damei's son shared a room, and they did not sleep in different rooms.
After the death of the eldest aunt, Shen Damei's son still slept in the eldest aunt's room, and the two were still in the same room.
After Shen Damei's series of lies were exposed, she couldn't help but point at Zhou Jianqi and scold. Zhou Jianqi rushed angrily towards the room, and then locked the door again.
Shen Damei suddenly choked up and told the people present: In the past 15 years, I have had a very hard time. The reason is that Zhou Jianqi loves to drink, especially liquor, and he has to drink a lot of liquor every day, which makes people strange and manic.
After drinking, Zhou Jianqi acted on his own, smashed bowls, and even caused trouble and fights outside, making people frightened.
Shen Damei was very disgusted with Zhou Jianqi's appearance after drinking, so although the two had been together for 15 years, she never wanted to marry Zhou Jianqi and get a license.
The mediator curiously asked the neighbors around him, hoping that they would comment on the real situation of Zhou Jianqi.
However, neighbors said one after another: Although Zhou Jianqi loves to drink, he is not as exaggerated as Shen Damei described. Everyone around him had a different opinion of him. Burdened with all kinds of grievances, Zhou Jianqi's mood became heavier and heavier. When his brother-in-law and daughter-in-law learned the news, they hurried over, and Zhou Jianqi stepped forward to greet him and recounted the indignation in his chest. It turned out that since the two started dating, Shen Damei has never found a stable job, and Shen Damei's son went all the way from the age of 11 to the graduation of college, and almost all the economic expenses were borne by Zhou Jianqi.
With gratitude, Shen Damei's son wrote a letter of thanks to Zhou Jianqi when he was a freshman, thanking him for his hard work and dedication over the years.
Now, Shen Damei's son has found a good job, and Shen Damei has also received the inheritance of her eldest aunt, perhaps because she thinks that Zhou Jianqi has no use value, so she proposed to break up.
However, Shen Damei categorically denied it: Zhou Jianqi has never made any dedication to our mother and son, and my son's tuition is earned by me as a cleaner.
Faced with Shen Damei's disregard for 15 years of dedication, Zhou Jianqi felt extremely angry.
He opened the refrigerator, pointed to the dishes inside, and said: I bought these things, I cook every meal by myself, and I am responsible for the water and electricity bills at home. When Zhou Jianqi choked up and explained to everyone that he liked to drink, tears couldn't help but flow from his eyes.
It turned out that over the years, Shen Damei often asked Zhou Jianqi to borrow money, and opened her mouth whenever she had the opportunity, and made noise without borrowing money. After getting the house, the behavior became even worse.
Every little thing does not satisfy Shen Damei, she always claims that the house is hers and threatens to kick Zhou Jianqi out. If Zhou Jianqi refuses to leave, she will call the police, upsetting the neighbors.
Although the lives of the two are so unhappy, why is Zhou Jianqi still reluctant to leave?
Zhou Jianqi said with emotion: Because we have been together for 15 years, after all, there are still feelings. In addition, there are a number of economic issues involved.
Six years ago, Shen Damei's ex-husband died, leaving an old house to be demolished, and a 70-square-meter affordable housing index.
Shen Damei wanted to buy this house for her son's future marriage, but she only had 50,000 yuan and lacked another 50,000 yuan for a down payment.
So, Zhou Jianqi sold his old house in the countryside and gave 50,000 yuan to Shen Damei. Every month, he will also repay the loan with Shen Damei.
Now that the payment has been paid off, Zhou Jianqi feels that he has the right to receive a corresponding return. If they break up, he should also get back his share. Everything became precarious, and Zhou Jianqi's request angered Shen Damei. She resolutely rejected Zhou Jianqi on the grounds that because her son's name was written on the house, she thought that Zhou Jianqi was not qualified to share. These words made Zhou Jianqi angry, and he shouted emotionally: I have paid for your mother and son for 15 years, but now you want to drive me away, then you have to compensate me 200,000 yuan!
Zhou Jianqi's daughter-in-law tried to persuade: "200,000 may be too much, and my father-in-law may not really want so much money, but just want to make up for it and recover a little loss." ”
Faced with a tangled mood, Shen Damei could only call ** to ask her son who was working far away for help.
The son lived in other places and formed his own family and marriage, and he said calmly: Uncle Zhou is still very good to me, and the only drawback may be alcoholism.
Knowing that his mother's relationship with Uncle Zhou had deteriorated and that he needed a breakup fee to show an embarrassed expression, the son replied with a red face: I will respect my mother's decision.
After everyone's persuasion, Zhou Jianqi finally gave up his request for 200,000 yuan, and changed his mind to only 50,000 yuan, as long as Shen Damei was willing to pay the money, he would move away and no longer entangle. Conclusion: Such a story is really thought-provoking, some people can do whatever it takes to live, they can choose partners, they can ignore love and family, just for their own interests. Perhaps, in reality, there are characters like Shen Damei around us, who take advantage of others, only care about their own interests, and do not take into account the feelings of others. I hope that everyone can maintain their own principles and bottom line in this real society, not be blinded by interests, and not be confused by desires. Life is not easy, but I hope we can all face the people and things around us with sincerity and kindness, and be a person with a sense of responsibility and a bottom line. The tragic fate of dying alone made Zhou Jianqi regret it. For 15 years, he and Shen Damei have never officially registered their marriage, which has put him in a double dilemma of law and morality.
used to take care of each other meticulously, but in the end it became the target of criticism from others. He gave everything for other people's children, but in exchange for blame and helplessness. This helplessness and remorse pierced his heart like a sharp blade.
There are many discussions about this in society, some people think that no matter how much they pay, they can't make up for the shortcomings, while some people find it difficult to understand why they want to abandon their children to be someone else's nanny. The moral dilemma and human warmth behind this mentality make people think deeply.
Perhaps, when people make choices, they often consider immediate interests and needs, but ignore their inner morals and responsibilities. Zhou Jianqi's experience is not only a case, but also a concentrated embodiment of social ethics and family ethics.
In this way, perhaps we should ask ourselves whether giving up our own children to care for other people's children is a worthwhile effort, or is it just a hard labor that is destined to be fruitless? Life choices can sometimes be really difficult and require us to look at them with a broader mind. May everyone be able to have a happy family and sincere feelings, and no one will die of loneliness.
