Chapter 1 The Forty-Year-Old Abstinence
"Mr. Xu, the diagnosis report is out. You have gastric cancer."
On the street, Xu Yangqing held the diagnosis report in his hand and burst into tears.
He got sick and had stomach cancer.
Not only that, he was also unemployed.
He is already forty years old and faces a major test in his life.
Car loan, mortgage loan, schooling for two children, and support from parents.
Everything seems so fragile in the face of illness.
Xu Yangqing tore the diagnosis to pieces and pushed open the door with his sick body.
"Dad, are you back?"
The eldest son walked out of the bedroom with the book in his arms.
Xu Yangqing put down the things and said, "I bought some food for you and Ruirui, and eat it while it's hot. Where is your mother, have you not come back yet?"
Xu Yangqing has a son and a daughter, and his eldest son is 17 years old. He is in his third year of high school and has excellent character and academic performance. The teacher said that it is very likely to be admitted to Tsinghua University. This is a great joy for Xu Yangqing.
The youngest daughter is twelve years old and has just entered the first year of junior high school. It is the rebellious period. No matter what Xu Yangqing said, her daughter will fight him.
Nowadays, the two children he is most worried about are his two children.
He had gastric cancer, and even if he received treatment, it would only take a few years, not to mention that this family is already tightening to the bottom.
He doesn't want to die, nor can he die. His two children need money at this time.
Xu Yangqing is a time traveler. He came to this world ten years ago. From the beginning, he was ignorant and shocked, but now he has become accustomed to running around for life.
Before traveling through time, Xu Yangqing was just a young man who had just left society. Not to mention being a father, he had never touched the girl's hand. Who knew that he traveled through time until 1998 and was inexplicably a father to two and a half-old children. It has been ten years since then.
Now Xu Yangqing has become accustomed to it, and his two children have become an indispensable part of him.
"My mom..."
The eldest son Xu Chen was a little hesitant, and the eldest boy's eyes were slightly red.
"What's wrong?" Xu Yangqing naturally noticed his son's strangeness.
Xu Chen took a breath and took out a piece of paper from the mezzanine of the book, "My mother asked me to hand this to you."
"You kid, how old is this guy, you still have this one."
Xu Yangqing said, taking the piece of paper from his son.
A few big words in the divorce agreement rushed into his sight, and Xu Yangqing's body shook.
The wife actually made a fuss and asked her son to hand over the divorce agreement.
"Dad, my mom, do you really want us?"
Xu Chen said, his green face was heavy.
Xu Yangqing smiled bitterly, with a pale face morbidly, "Xiaochen, some things are not something we can decide."
As early as three months ago, his wife filed for divorce from him because Xu Yangqing bumped into his wife and a man holding hands.
He knew that man, who was his wife's first love, and now he is a corporate executive.
Unlike Xu Yangqing's honest and dullness, the man was funny and humorous. When Xu Yangqing met them, his wife was smiling brightly.
The wife did not show panic because she was caught by her husband, and said the divorce was very coldly.
Xu Yangqing knew that he was not worthy of his wife. When he got married, his wife was dumped by his ex and aborted. When he was completely disappointed, Xu Yangqing took advantage of the situation.
Unlike his wife's ex, Xu Yangqing is poor and has no car or house, and has no decent job.
The mother-in-law's family naturally disagreed. In the end, Xu Yangqing knelt at her mother-in-law's house for a whole night, and even promised not to dislike his wife's abortion, so she married her wife.
In March 1998, Xu Yangqing, who came from the future, officially replaced this honest and dull man and started a new life.
I thought it would be smooth sailing as mentioned in the novel, but who knew I would lose money.
Xu Yangqing was deceived and had a debt of 300,000 yuan two years ago.
My wife became more and more dissatisfied with him and finally got into bed in her first love.
Xu Yangqing thought bitterly that it had been a month since he had not seen his wife, and even the divorce agreement was handed over by his son.
Looking at his son's expectant and confused eyes, Xu Yangqing smiled and patted his son's shoulder, "Don't think about it, your mother won't want you."
"What about you? Dad, do you really agree to divorce my mom?" Xu Chen asked.
Xu Yangqing sighed and squeezed out a smile, "After the divorce, you and your sister, follow your mother."
"Dad, do you even want us?" Xu Chen said, his eyes filled with tears.
"I will visit you often, and then you... don't hide from me..."
Xu Yangqing said, tears in his eyes.
He can't live long, and it's best to be able to leave something for his son and daughter in the remaining time.
"Don't worry, I'll leave the house and the car for you and your sister. You can live a good life with your mother in the future." Xu Yangqing said, tears were already filled with tears.
"Dad, what's wrong? What's wrong with you and my mom!"
Xu Yang shouted, his youthful face full of tears.
Xu Yangqing's eyes were filled with tears. Looking at his helpless son roaring in front of him, his heart ached.
What can he say? He can't just tell his children that their mother has cheated on her, right?
When he first discovered that his wife had cheated, Xu Yangqing refused to divorce anyway. His wife even proposed to leave the house without permission and not to custody the two children, but he did not agree.
Now……
"You study hard and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Dad will often see you in the future."
As he said that, Xu Yangqing called his wife and said that he agreed to divorce and left the house with nothing.
When the son heard the phone call, he ran out, leaving Xu Yangqing alone sitting on the sofa.
When his wife came, Xu Yangqing had already packed up his things.
After being married for more than ten years, he did not realize until now that he had only a few things in this family.
My wife rarely wore a long red dress, which was as beautiful as she was twenty years ago.
The expression on his face is always so cold.
"Did you figure it out?"
"I figured it out."
"Let's take the time to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate."
"good."
“Are you free in the afternoon?”
"have."
Xu Yangqing shaved, took a shower, and changed into a suit, trying to make herself look less morbid and decadent.
My wife crossed her legs and waited for him to finish cleaning for the first time before she went to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
At the Civil Affairs Bureau, Xu Yangqing looked at the couple in the marriage registration office next to her, imagined that she worked like she did twenty years ago, and after working hard for a long time, she could only squeeze out a smile that was even worse than crying.
When the staff asked about property division, Xu Yangqing spoke.
"I left the house with nothing."
His wife was not surprised by Xu Yangqing's reaction.
"I will also give you the custody of my two children. I will leave the house with nothing, and I will pay the mortgage and car loan." Xu Yangqing added.
There is no doubt that the mortgage loan is left, and there is only one year left for the car loan.
Xu Yangqing only wants to reduce the burden on the two girls in the last moment of his life.
"I don't want the child!" the wife said coldly.
Xu Yangqing was stunned. At this time, a young man rushed in from outside, and was in a hurry.
