Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Past ten o'clock at night, Lin Xiaofang finally managed to coax the child to sleep.

Originally today she had planned to make Niu Chunsheng an exquisite dinner, as an apology to Niu Chunsheng.

But Niu Chunsheng returned from Guangzhou Hospital and went straight to the company for work; by evening, she, Lin Xiaofang, had already gone to the supermarket and bought the dishes, only then did Niu Chunsheng call to say he wasn't coming back to eat.

So Lin Xiaofang was already feeling quite down inside.

And now Niu Chunsheng still hadn't returned this late, she grew more and more depressed the more she thought, more and more agitated and distracted the more she thought.

She had originally wanted to apologize to Niu Chunsheng, but now she couldn't help but start complaining about Niu Chunsheng.

By nearly eleven o'clock at night, Niu Chunsheng finally returned.

Lin Xiaofang walked out of the room and was hit by a wave of thick alcohol fumes.

So much so that she didn't even notice Niu Chunsheng's deathly pale face; her emotions erupted like a volcano that had been suppressed for a long time:

"Niu Chunsheng, didn't you promise me not to drink! How did you get drunk like this again? Don't you want your life anymore!"

Niu Chunsheng did not quarrel with Lin Xiaofang; he sat wearily on the sofa, eyes closed, taking deep breaths to ease the pain from his stomach.

Even so, he still patiently replied to Lin Xiaofang:

"Liu Lianqiang's group dinner, I couldn't not drink; after all, the company's project building materials are pinched in his hands."

Hearing this, Lin Xiaofang grew even angrier:

"Drink drink drink, all you know is drinking, and so many excuses; is it that hard to refuse with a single sentence? I don't believe if you said you weren't drinking he'd still dare force you to drink! How can you mistreat yourself like this? If you won't think for yourself, think for me, think for the child!"

Lin Xiaofang screamed in rage.

Her emotions had already collapsed.

"You have late-stage stomach cancer, not some minor ailment; can't you have a little self-respect!"

"Self-respect..." Niu Chunsheng murmured; his alcohol-fogged mind drifted to another person, another matter: "Someone was self-respecting, yet suffered a lifetime..."

The person he thought of was Li Xiulan.

When Li Xiulan was young, if she had only known to slightly leverage her beauty, her life would have been a completely different brilliant landscape; what a pity, she was too self-respecting, too rigidly guarded her bottom line, so that she struggled in the mire of poverty for most of her life, only in old age relying on three sons to start enjoying some blessings.

But the person is already old; what meaning is there in enjoying blessings now.

Lin Xiaofang didn't understand what Niu Chunsheng was saying; she only saw his drunken appearance and grew angrier and angrier:

"What nonsense are you spouting, Niu Chunsheng let me tell you, from now on you're not allowed to go drinking again; if you dare go drink, I'll dare go make a scene!"

After scolding, Lin Xiaofang burst into tears:

"Can't we just not do business? Tomorrow go shut down the company! Don't we still have plenty of savings? Is it worth ruining yourself like this for the sake of business!"

Niu Chunsheng only sighed:

"It's not as simple as you think..."

He was just about to explain to Lin Xiaofang the commercial logic of real estate and the peripheral businesses around real estate; this line of work isn't something where you can just easily withdraw because you want to.

Inside there are too many money-power transactions, too many human relations and worldly dealings.

You want to withdraw, the other side may not be willing.

You forcibly withdraw, and they have a hundred ways to kill you, even kill your family.

But before he could open his mouth to explain, his stomach suddenly sent a wave of agonizing pain like terrifying waves.

Then he couldn't help but rush to the toilet and vomit wildly into the toilet bowl with a "retch."

Alcohol carrying half-digested rice and dishes, yellow gastric fluid, mixed with red blood water, all gushed out together.

A sour rancid smell immediately spread from the toilet.

Making Lin Xiaofang smell it and instinctively feel nauseous.

Niu Chunsheng vomited and vomited again.

Lin Xiaofang behind him scolded and scolded again.

The shouting startled the youngest son Niu Zhigao, already sound asleep in the bedroom.

Niu Zhigao's wailing cries came from inside.

Lin Xiaofang hurried in and picked up Niu Zhigao.

Coaxing the son on one side, scolding the husband on the other.

Niu Chunsheng did not respond with a single word from start to finish.

He just stared blankly at the blood-streaked vomit in the toilet bowl.

He paused for a good while before easing out of the agonizing pain.

Then went and took the stomach-nourishing medicine the doctor prescribed.

Then went to the second bedroom to sleep.

The next morning getting up.

Lin Xiaofang still carried resentment.

But she still made breakfast for Niu Chunsheng.

It was stomach-nourishing millet and Chinese yam congee.

During breakfast, Lin Xiaofang kept lecturing Niu Chunsheng nonstop:

"We agreed last night, no more drinking from now on; you better not treat my words as wind in your ears, don't think I don't dare — if you go drink again, I'll take the child and make a scene; I want to see whose face gets lost in the end!"

Niu Chunsheng did not respond to Lin Xiaofang, only lowered his head and drank his congee.

After finishing a bowl of congee, he finally spoke:

"Let's get a divorce."

Lin Xiaofang was stunned, her body trembling.

As if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her out of the blue.

She widened her eyes and asked:

"What did you say?"

Niu Chunsheng repeated the sentence he had just said very calmly:

"Let's get a divorce."

Lin Xiaofang's face was full of disbelief:

"Niu Chunsheng, what are you trying to do?"

Niu Chunsheng did not answer her words, but said instead:

"The house will be registered under our daughter's and son's names. One part of the money goes to you, one part goes to the son and daughter. Custody of the son and daughter goes to you. You will manage the son's and daughter's portion of the money. The daughter's share will be given to her monthly. The son's share you will give to him after he comes of age. Company shares will be transferred to you, but I need to temporarily retain management rights. I'll keep one car, the rest all go to you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaofang was even more surprised:

"What do you mean by this? Does this count as leaving with nothing?"

Niu Chunsheng said calmly:

"In a certain sense, it counts as more or less that."

Lin Xiaofang cried:

"Do you hate me this much? Even leaving with nothing you want to divorce me? What exactly did I do wrong? I scolded you last night, isn't that also concern for your physical health? I've said it so many times, yet you still don't know to show some concern for your own body!"

Niu Chunsheng calmly denied:

"I don't hate you. Rather, this is the optimal solution. You didn't want me to drink alcohol anymore, right? Actually, I don't want to drink anymore either. But to truly achieve not drinking, the only way is to divorce you first, put all the assets on your side. Otherwise, the moment this alcohol stops being drunk, someone will come take away our assets."

Lin Xiaofang couldn't understand the logic behind this, she just kept crying.

She couldn't shoulder big things.

Divorce is also a big thing.

Letting her raise the children after divorce is also a big thing.

Niu Chunsheng spoke again:

"Additionally, I don't have much time left. This lifetime, for family, for career, for friends, I've never done anything for myself. The remaining bit of time, I want to live for myself."
