Chapter 1 Misfortunes Never Come Alone

Xiao Han has been sitting in the car all afternoon! The personal belongings he brought from the company are messily placed in the back seat.

He didn't expect that after working in this company for so long and finally reaching the middle level, he would be fired from the company headquarters for his own reasons.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the city is bustling and lively. People are coming from work, getting out of school, picking up children, shopping for groceries, and there is a constant flow of people and cars on the road outside the window. Everyone's life seems to be very lively, and Xiao Han only feels that

irritable.

After a long time, the craving for cigarettes broke out. Xiao Han slowly took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, opened the door, got out of the car and smoked.

After squatting beside the car and smoking a cigarette, Xiao Han lit another one.

"What should I tell her when I get back?"

Xiao Han is 32 years old. When he was in college at the age of 20, he dropped out of school because of some poisonous chicken soup. He returned to his hometown and started working. After years of hard work, he made some money and bought a house in a fourth-tier city.

Four years ago, Xiao Han met Yang Xiaoman by chance in a coffee shop. Xiao Han fell in love at first sight with this girl who looked quiet and indifferent. After launching a crazy pursuit, the two of them fell in love smoothly and got married.

Life after marriage was relatively stable. Occasionally, if there was a disagreement, Xiao Han would take the initiative to apologize and it would be over.

Xiao Han has reached middle-level management in the company where he has worked hard for many years, and his salary is considered generous in this fourth-tier small city.

Yang Xiaoman, on the other hand, quit her accounting career after her marriage and chose to work in self-media that she was interested in. Although she did not have much income, she was free mentally and physically.

...

Xiao Han finished his last cigarette, stamped out the cigarette butt, took a deep breath, and got in the car.

He decided to hide the news of his dismissal until he found a job.

Xiao Han did not go home directly, but went to the largest supermarket nearby. Before going out in the morning, he found that the mineral water in the refrigerator at home was almost gone.

Yang Xiaoman only drinks a brand of mineral water called Evian, which is only sold in this large supermarket.

After replenishing the mineral water, Xiao Han bought some snacks that Yang Xiaoman liked, then paid the bill and drove home.

After returning to the community and parking the car, Xiao Han went upstairs with his bag.

Walking to the door of his house, Xiao Han took a few deep breaths, moved his stiff cheeks, and quickly adjusted his emotions. Then he opened the door with a smile and walked in.

"Baby, I'm back!"

While Xiao Han changed his shoes at the entrance, he leaned in and shouted with a smile: "Baby, come and see what delicious food I bought for you."

No one responded.

Isn't Xiaoman at home? Xiao Han put the mineral water in the refrigerator, then put the things down and walked towards the bedroom.

Opening the door, Yang Xiaoman was sitting on the bay window holding her legs, leaning against the wall, tilting her head and looking out the window blankly.

Xiao Han walked in, pretending to smile happily and asked: "Baby, why are you silent? I thought you were not at home."

Yang Xiaoman seemed not to hear what he said. She didn't react, didn't answer him, and didn't look back. She just stared out the window.

Xiao Han was a little panicked, but quickly calmed down. He walked to Yang Xiaoman, knelt down by the window, followed her gaze and looked out the window. He smiled and said, "Baby, what are you looking at?"

The afterglow of the setting sun shone in the window, dyeing the bedroom wall dimly. There was nothing outside the window except the floor opposite and a few birds flying by occasionally.

Xiao Han stretched out a hand, waved it in front of Yang Xiaoman's eyes, and said with a smile: "Come back to your senses!"

Yang Xiaoman finally moved slightly, turned around and stared at Xiao Han indifferently, and said softly: "Let's get a divorce."

Xiao Han's expression froze for a moment, and his heart seemed to skip a beat, but he soon continued to smile and rub his head against Yang Xiaoman: "Okay, okay, just leave..."

Before Xiao Han finished speaking, Yang Xiaoman pushed him away in disgust.

Xiao Han panicked, the smile on his face disappeared little by little, his lips began to feel dry, and his throat began to feel itchy inexplicably.

The craving for cigarettes has struck again!

Yang Xiaoman looked directly at Xiao Han again with a firm expression: "I'm not kidding you, let's get a divorce!"

Xiao Han looked at Yang Xiaoman's serious expression and his mind went blank.

Is she deliberately joking?

Or...seriously?!!

It seemed like a century had passed before Xiao Han finally spoke: "Why? What did I do wrong? I can change it..."

"No. You're fine."

Yang Xiaoman stopped looking at Xiao Han, just buried her head in her knees, and said in a low voice: "You don't drink, and you don't socialize; you do all the housework, and you give me all your wages;

You also support me in pursuing my ideals and developing my career; you remember everything I say; and you never force me to do anything I don’t want to do. You have always done a good job and you are very kind to me.

But, these are not what I want, I just want freedom!"

He understood every word Yang Xiaoman said, but he couldn't understand them all together.

Xiao Han didn't understand.

"free?

What freedom?

I have never limited you..."

"Yes! You didn't!"

Yang Xiaoman suddenly raised his head and shouted excitedly, his eyes were red, and there were crystal tears in his eyes: "It's because you don't have it! It's because you are so good to me! You are so good to me that I let

I'm out of breath! I don't want this anymore...I want to be free...

"..."

...

...

Xiao Han didn't know how he got out of the room. When he realized it, he was already sitting in the car again.

Xiao Han stared blankly out of the window, took out a pack of newly bought cigarettes and was about to get out of the car to smoke. After a pause, he closed the car door with a sneer, rolled down the window, sat slumped in the car, and lit it.

Cigarette, take a deep breath...

Xiao Han wanted to have a good talk with Yang Xiaoman. He didn't want a divorce, but Yang Xiaoman was extremely determined.

Xiao Han seemed to suddenly not recognize Yang Xiaoman. He had never thought that the woman in his memory who was as gentle and elegant as jasmine could scream loudly and beat everything he could see in the house.

"What do you mean I'm too good to you?"

Xiao Han scratched his head and couldn't figure it out. What did Yang Xiaoman mean?

Is it wrong to be nice to her?

After finishing smoking the cigarette, a long time passed. Xiao Han sighed, then got out of the car and walked towards home.

When he arrived at the door of his house, Xiao Han found that he could not get in. The door was locked by Yang Xiaoman!

“Bang bang bang!”

"Yang Xiaoman! Open the door!"

Yang Xiaoman's voice inside was a little hoarse, "You go! I don't want to see you today!"

"..."

Xiao Han was unwilling to give in and knocked on the door a few more times, but no one opened it.

"You're not allowed to sleep at night!" came the angry voice of a neighbor.

Xiao Han returned to the garage, sat in the car, and the moment he closed the door, deep fatigue hit him...

I lost my job, I was about to lose my wife, and I couldn’t go home even though I had a home...

Where can I go now?

Xiao Han didn't know where to go, so he could only flatten the seat, lie down, and then light a cigarette.

The words Yang Xiaoman said today repeatedly echoed in my mind...

In his wild thoughts, Xiao Han fell asleep.

...

...

"Drip bell bell!"

A ringtone rang, and Xiao Han picked it up in a daze.

"Where are you? Come back soon. I have something to say."

It’s Yang Xiaoman!

Xiao Han woke up immediately, climbed up and got out of the car and ran towards the elevator, while promising: "I'll be up right away!"

Within two or three minutes, Xiao Han returned home. Yang Xiaoman sat on the sofa with indifferent eyes. Next to the sofa were two large suitcases, and a stack of papers was placed on the coffee table in front of the sofa.

Xiao Han walked forward hesitantly and sat down. Yang Xiaoman handed the paper to Xiao Han.

Xiao Han picked it up and took a look at the divorce agreement.

Xiao Han's temples were beating like needles. He buried his tired face between his hands. After taking a few deep breaths, he looked up at Yang Xiaoman. He still couldn't help but frown and said: "Xiaoman, don't make trouble.

Oh, I’m really too tired!”

Yang Xiaoman looked indifferent, "It's not a joke, my luggage has been packed, you sign it quickly, the house belongs to me, the deposit also belongs to me, you can take the car, I have been with you for more than three years, you have wasted me

Three years of youth, these should be considered as compensation for me."

Xiao Han looked at Yang Xiaoman dully. Something in his heart slowly collapsed. He knew that this time, there was no room for maneuver.

Because this is Yang Xiaoman. Once a certain matter is determined, there is no room for negotiation.

Xiao Han held his head in pain and said with difficulty: "Xiao Man, since you said so, I have to tell you a fact."

Yang Xiaoman frowned and said, "What fact?"

Xiao Han suddenly smiled and said calmly: "I rented the house and kept it secret from you. The bankbook is also fake. I spent 20 yuan to build it online. As for the car, it is a mortgaged car..."

"Don't lie to me, you showed me the balance before, it was over one million!"

"Go to the bank and withdraw it! See if you can withdraw it."

Yang Xiaoman's eyes widened and she couldn't believe it. She took her bankbook and ran out in a hurry. She didn't believe it and wanted to go to the bank to see it with her own eyes.

Xiao Han looked at her back, shook his head and sighed.

...

Yang Xiaoman arrived at the bank, went directly to the counter, and asked to withdraw 10,000 yuan.

"I'm sorry, you don't have that much money in your bankbook!"

Yang Xiaoman had an ominous premonition. Could it be that she had really been deceived?

She hurriedly said: "Please help me check how much money is in it!"

"You still have four yuan and fifty cents in your bankbook."

Yang Xiaoman instantly collapsed on the chair, it was over.

After acting for three years, I was hired for free!

At this moment, a ringtone came.

It's dark and you are very sad.

You said in the world.

I can't find a girl for four and a half bucks.



When Yang Xiaoman returned home, Xiao Han handed him a rental contract.

It was the contract for the house where they lived.

"..."

Yang Xiaoman was like crazy. She didn't even take off her stockings and rushed towards Xiao Han.

"You spent three years fucking me for nothing, you bastard!"

"Xiao Han, I fucked your uncle!"

"..."

Yang Xiaoman was pinned in the corner by Xiao Han, and she was a little crazy. She was really paid for free!

Xiao Han smiled and said: "Don't worry, there is something more exciting."

After that, he took out his mobile phone and opened Alipay.

"The total amount of your credit card arrears: 289,000 yuan"

"Your total borrowing limit is 200,000 yuan, and the daily interest rate is 4.5 million. Xiao Han, you can borrow 0 yuan."

Xiao Han coughed and said: "In addition to these, I also borrowed online loans. Those are usurious loans. I owe nearly more than one million yuan. Don't leave in a hurry. Let's pay it back slowly together, or you can help me carry half of it."

.”

"..."



In the end, they divorced!

Yang Xiaoman cursed and left. She didn't want to stay here for a moment.

She originally wanted to see if she could get some more money, but instead, a debt collector came.

This time, she really gave up!

She was really prostituted for nothing!



Life is always full of drama.

Xiao Han's house was originally his, the deposit was once real, and the car was also his.

However, because of an investment.

An investment that he thought would be a sure profit.

It turned out to be a Ponzi scheme.

Not only did I lose all my savings, I also lost my house, car, and even borrowed so much foreign debt.



If it weren't for Yang Xiaoman's appearance, he would be finished!

It can only be said that Yang Xiaoman broke out too late and was too patient to bear it until now.

However, she is indeed unlucky enough.



Debt collectors have made countless calls!

All kinds of threatening words came casually.

Xiao Han completely collapsed, his life was ruined!

Destroyed by himself!



Xiao Han couldn't remember how much time had passed. There was no clean place to stay at home. There were cigarette butts, empty wine bottles, and takeout boxes everywhere.

The tightly closed curtains made it difficult for Xiao Han to tell whether it was day or night, and he didn't need to know. The first thing Xiao Han did after waking up again was to stagger to the refrigerator to get some wine. One bottle, two bottles.

.No more. All the wine in the house has been finished.

Wine! I need wine!

Xiao Han casually pulled up a coat and staggered towards the door. He needed more alcohol to numb himself. Almost relying on instinct, Xiao Han walked out of the building and out of the community. The supermarket was across the road. Xiao Han

Han gasped and licked his lips, and walked towards the opposite side with heavy legs. The sun was a little dazzling at the moment. Xiao Han subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, and there was a rumbling sound in his ears, as if something was shouting...

.Xiao Han frowned and turned back...

Drop——!Dip——!Dip——!

A car honked its horn frantically, and Xiao Han's pupils gradually dilated!

Bang——!

Everything in the world finally seemed to be at peace again.

At the last moment, Xiao Han had this thought: "Damn it, I don't have to pay off the debt..."
