has this saying: Fire prevention, theft prevention, best friends, many times we think the most trustworthy best friends are the culprits that destroy our relationship.

My name is Xu Yaqian, I am 32 years old this year. It was the weekend. I took my daughter out of the amusement park. A young woman's voice came from behind me: Little girl, can you give me your empty soda bottle?
The daughter turned around and looked at it, immediately unscrewed the cap, drank the drink in the bottle in one breath, and handed the bottle to the woman.
I smiled at my daughter and looked at her with praise.
The woman was carrying a child on her back, holding one in her hand, and her clothes looked dirty. While she said thank you to her daughter, she lowered her head and put the empty bottle in a plastic bag.
When she looked up, I saw her appearance clearly and was stunned immediately, and the words burst out: Chunlan, why is it you?
She was obviously startled when she saw me, and her face changed suddenly, and she stammered: Ya, Ya, Yaqian, long time no see.
I said calmly: Yes! We have been separated for ten years and didn't expect to meet on such occasions. I pulled my daughter and turned around and left. Chunlan shouted behind me: Yaqian, can we talk a few words?
I turned around suddenly and shouted at her: I have nothing to talk about with you anymore, our relationship was broken ten years ago.

As soon as I saw Chunlan, the painful scar ten years ago was uncovered again.
Ten years ago, Chunlan and I met in the electronics factory in Dongguan . Our hometown is in the same town. We were born in the same year and the same month, and our birthdays were five days apart.
At that time, we had a good relationship. We went to and from get off work together, ate and lived together, and we also wore clothes together. We stuck together wherever we went, and became a good friend that everyone envied.
Chunlan people are beautiful and have a cheerful personality. Many boys like her. People often give her gifts, invite her to dinner, and watch movies. Every time I went out for dinner, she would pull me up, making me feel like a light bulb.
I was worried that people would say I was delicious, so when Chunlan asked me to go to dinner with her again, I refused.
At first, Chunlan would force me to go there, but later she found that I was not happy at all when I went there, so she didn't call me again.
Later I also talked about my boyfriend, named Li Qi, who is from the same place. I also asked Chunlan to have dinner together and asked her to check it out for me.
Chunlan said that Li Qi is a good person, but she is too honest and talks little, and she probably won’t achieve much in the future.
I said I just wanted to find an honest man who was too smart and couldn't afford to eat or live.
Chunlan said I was mean and I would definitely endure hardships in the future if I found such an honest man.
I didn't care much about her words and still talked with Li Qi.

Later Chunlan said that she had a local boyfriend who was very rich and had several houses rented at home. The two of them had reached the point of getting married. Chunlan often said in front of me that she and her boyfriend were going to get married, and she would be a landlady in the future.
Looking at Chunlan with a happy look, to be honest, I really envious of her.
Just as Chunlan was preparing for marriage with great enthusiasm, her boyfriend cheated on a girl younger and more beautiful than Chunlan. The two were caught by Chunlan on the spot while they were lingering in the bed.
Chunlan was about to get angry and had a big fuss with her boyfriend. Her boyfriend had no intention of repentance at all, and even asked Chunlan to break up directly.
After the broken heart, Chunlan dranks alcohol to relieve her sorrows all day long. I was worried that something would happen to her and often stay with her. When Chunlan was drunk, I couldn't help her alone, so I had to ask Li Qi to come and help.
I thought I was just kind to help, but unexpectedly I pushed Li Qi towards Chunlan.
When I went to find Li Qi, I found Chunlan in his dormitory, and the two were wearing couple pajamas. I had a big fight with them, and the relationship broke down from then on.
Actually, I don’t know when they were good at it. They were fire-proof, theft-proof, and best friends. Such a bloody plot actually happened to me.
I resigned and left the factory. I never contacted them again. I just heard from our mutual friends that they went home and got married later.
If possible, I will never want to see them again in my life.

My daughter has never seen me get such a big temper. She was so scared that she couldn't help but tremble. I quickly bent down to comfort her.
Chunlan said carefully: I know you have always hated me, but I just want to say sorry to you, and have no other thoughts.
I was afraid that I would scare my daughter again when I was angry, so I slowly said: Just talk about whatever you want!
Seeing that my face had calmed down a lot, Chunlan said tentatively: Otherwise, let’s find a place to sit.
I nodded without saying a word.
Chunlan showed joy on her face and took us to a convenience store not far ahead. There were two empty tables outside the convenience store.
She went into the store and bought a few bottles of water. She put down the child on her back, and we sat down around the table.
I didn't say a word, and in order to break the deadlock, Chunlan took the initiative to speak.
She stroked the hair in front of her forehead and said: Yaqian, you are doing well now!
I nodded and said: Of course it is OK.
Chunlan muttered to herself: Just live well, just live well.
"Where are you? How are you doing now? Are you okay with Li Qi!" I asked her in reverse. Although I felt uncomfortable, I still wanted to know their current situation.

Chunlan's eyes slowly darkened, her lips trembled for a while, and then two words popped out after a while: No.
Looking at Chunlan's gloomy eyes and her dress, it can be seen that she is not doing very well now.
Chunlan pondered for a long time before slowly telling the story of her and Li Qi after marriage.
It turned out that Chunlan followed Li Qi back to her hometown, and only then did she find that his family was in a bad state. Her parents were lazy and didn't work when they were only in their fifties. They relied on Li Qi to work outside to earn money to support her.
Looking at the dilapidated house and the two parents-in-law who were sitting and waiting for food, Chunlan regretted her intestines and her intestines were green. She wanted to leave, but Li Qi knelt down and begged her not to leave. Moreover, Chunlan had been pregnant for several months at that time, and where else could she go with a big belly?
Chunlan had to stay. After the child was born, she was a daughter.
In-laws prefer boys over girls and do not help with children.
Li Qi went out to work, and Chunlan could only stay at home to take care of her children. She did laundry, cooked and did housework every day. Her parents-in-law would go out for a walk when they had enough, or they would lie at home to watch TV.
Li Qi sends back two thousand yuan every month, but as soon as he gets the money, he snatched half of it by his parents-in-law, saying that he was for their retirement.

Family needs to buy vegetables, pay electricity bills, and children usually have colds and fevers, and Chunlan is in charge of it. The prices are now expensive, and one thousand yuan is not enough. She asked Li Qi to send more money back, but Li Qi said that there was only so much, do you want it?
Chunlan hasn't bought a new piece of clothing in several years, and her children are wearing old clothes given by others. I thought I would go out to work when my daughter got older, but what was so bad was that she was pregnant with her second child and she was born again.
gave birth to two daughters one after another. Not only did parents-in-law not like it, but Li Qi also said that he wanted to give his youngest daughter to someone. Chunlan stopped him and stayed there in the end.
But since then, Li Qi rarely sent money back. Chunlan had no money to use it, so she had to take her children to the street to pick up waste and sell it.
Chunlan really wants to divorce Li Qi, but she can't bear to part with her two daughters.
Looking at Chunlan in her early thirties with a vicissitudes of life, I also felt sad for her. If she hadn't robbed her love back then, then it might have been me who married Li Qi, and I who suffered. How could I have a happy life now?

At that time, after Chunlan and the others had a falling out, I stayed in Dongguan for a while and then returned to my hometown. My dad asked someone to find a job in the kindergarten, and at the advice of my parents, I met my husband Zhou Hai on a blind date.
Zhou Hai’s family is from the town. He does interior decoration work and often works outside. Every time he collects the accounts, he will hand over all the money to me, saying that the money must be handed over to his wife to manage it in order to keep the money.
My parents-in-law sells fish in the town market. The two old people are very nice to me and will help take care of the children whenever they have time. Every time I go back to my parents' home, my mother-in-law will prepare big and small gifts for me, and will also give me a lot of pocket money every month.
Although my first child was also a daughter, my parents-in-law never disliked me. During the confinement period, they did their best to take care of me.
I have been at home for seven years after seven years of marriage. Except for cooking at home and hygiene, I spend the rest of my time with my children.
After my daughter grew up, I also wanted to go out to find a job, but my parents-in-law and husband didn't let me. They said that I just need to take good care of the children and I don't have to worry about money.
Later I gave birth to another son. Zhou Hai was afraid that I would be too busy alone, so he said he wanted to hire a nanny to help, but I didn't agree and said that I could take care of it myself.
Now both children are in kindergarten, I have been much more relaxed. I will send food to my parents-in-law and pick up the children when I have time, and I will be idle at other times.

chatted with Chunlan for a long time. Her two children were hungry and were trying to eat. She touched her pocket with her hand, but in the end she didn't take out anything.
I asked her to coax the child first, and went into the convenience store to buy a large bag of bread and milk, and exchanged 500 yuan in cash from the store owner.
I stuffed the pack of food and five hundred yuan into Chunlan's hands. She refused to ask for it, saying that she was sorry for me and had no shame to ask for these things.
I said: The past is over. Since God has asked us to meet again, I feel uncomfortable in this situation. I just want to do my best and hope you don’t dislike me. No matter what, we were good friends before. Although we can’t go back to the past, I still hope you have a good life.
Chunlan's tears suddenly burst out. She covered her mouth and lay on the table and started crying. I quickly took out a pack of tissue to help her fold her tears.
I pulled my daughter back, and Chunlan held two children and looked at me silently behind her back until we walked far away.
Seeing Chunlan again, I have let go of the past. Some things may be destined. If it weren't for my kindness, if it wasn't for them doing that, if, but unfortunately there is no if in this world, only the consequences and consequences. What kind of life will everyone live is actually caused by themselves.
