In terms of feeling, I live a peaceful life every day.Our husband and wife conversations are much less than before, but I have to accept the fact that I don't want to accept it.After all, I was the one who started our relationship as a husband and wife. However, the countdown to destruction has already begun. In fact, a strange sign appeared at that time.That is, Miharu's accessories have become more gorgeous than before.From jewellery, purses, clothes, and cosmetics, everything visible to the eye has become newer and more expensive.However, I didn't have the courage to ask how those things came from.I don't want to make her feel bad.

The passbook is kept by me, and it is impossible for her to use the savings without authorization, so I have no choice but to turn a blind eye to her wasteful habits.Because once you care about it, it will be endless. Before long, I knew things had gotten out of hand.When I saw the actual deposit balance on the statement after withdrawing cash from the ATM, I really wondered if my eyes were wrong.I wonder if there is some misunderstanding in it. Before Miharu used the family money without authorization, I canceled the fixed deposit contract and transferred all of it to the living savings account.After that, I slowly saved money again. It is reasonable to say that the balance of the deposit should be about 600,000, but the number is missing a zero.

I hurriedly ran to scan my passbook, and in the transaction records of each line, there were two expenditures that I had no knowledge of, and each withdrew more than 200,000 yuan. These two amounts of money were transferred to the credit card company, but I did not apply for their credit card.I thought to myself, what is going on, so I called one of the credit card companies and asked.Hearing the other party's answer, I almost fainted. The other party said that someone applied for a credit card in my name, and the card was issued about two months ago, and they also applied for a secondary card at the same time.The requested amount seems to come from the secondary card.

That's when I realized what was going on.Miharu applied for a credit card for me without authorization, and then used the supplementary card to make purchases.As a wife, Miharu, getting the information needed to apply for a credit card is a piece of cake.Maybe the credit card company once called my place of work and asked if there was an employee named Kazuyuki Tajima, but that incident never reached my ears. The customer service personnel of the credit card company seem to suspect that my credit card has been illegally used.I immediately hung up the phone vaguely, because I was afraid of causing an uproar.

This eliminates the need to call another credit card company to confirm.Miharu must have used the same trick with the two credit card companies. Now, I can no longer be dumb.I decided to wait for Miharu to come back and speak clearly.That night, she didn't come home until after three o'clock in the morning.When she saw me sitting at the dining table waiting for her, she opened her eyes wide in surprise, and then said in a nonchalant tone, "Oh, you're still awake." "Why did you apply for a credit card without telling me?" I suppressed my excitement and asked her.

Miharu raised her eyebrows.However, the expression on her face stopped there, and then returned to a lack of interest expression, and went to the kitchen to drink tap water from a cup. "Did you hear me asking you?" I was about to ask further when she sighed heavily and strode out of the restaurant, then came back and put two credit cards on the table.That was the credit card of those two credit card companies, but the English pinyin on the card indicated that both of them were my credit cards. "I forgot to bring it to you. I'm sorry." She said indifferently. I picked up two credit cards, took two deep breaths, and held back the emotion of wanting to roar. "I'm asking you, why do you want to apply for a credit card without authorization?"

"I just didn't have a chance to tell you." "This kind of thing should be discussed with me first, right? This is done in my name!" "Isn't it more convenient to have a credit card? This way you don't need to bring cash when you go out." "That's not the problem." "If you are asked to do it, I don't know when it will take, so I will do it." "You even applied for a secondary card without authorization, didn't you?" "Yes. People also want to buy things." "Stop kidding!" I thumped the dining table.I can't take it anymore. "You spend 500,000 yuan a month, what are you thinking?! Now our family has almost no savings! What are you going to do in the next few days?"

I remembered that I had had the same dialogue before.At that time, Meiqing burst into tears and apologized to me, saying that she had to work to make money to pay me back.However, she is different now than she was then.She looked away, shrugged, and then glared at me. "It's just that little money, what are you doing?" She whispered this sentence. "What did you say?" "I said, it's just such a small amount of money, why are you so mad? It's only half a million, so why make a fuss about it. You're messing around outside, I just spent money a little bit aggressively, what's the big deal? Well. Think what good you've done yourself!"

Hearing Meiqing's words, I was at a loss for a while.Apparently she hasn't forgiven me yet.She seems to have been unable to let go of what happened to Rieko. "So... is this your revenge?" I asked in a low voice. "No." Meiqing shook her head. "I just want to forget about the annoying things, and simply relieve my worries. I think it should be forgiven to spend some money. After all, I..." She said here, staring at me again with sharp eyes. "I was hurt badly." As soon as she brought up the matter of Li Rongzi, I was at a loss for words.She hasn't mentioned it recently. I firmly believe that the incident has passed, but I didn't expect her to still hold a grudge.I really feel so naive.

I licked my mouth. "If you want to relieve your worries, there should be other ways? Not this way... If you say you want to buy something, I will give you the money without saying a word." "I don't like to ask for your permission for everything. What do you think caused me to suffer? The reason is not from you! It's obviously your fault, why do I even ask for your permission to relieve my worries? Besides, I just want to Can you vent the pressure within the scope of your permission?" "According to your way of venting, this family will be destroyed by you, right? What about the money you earned?"

"That little money, if you buy anything, it will be gone." She turned her head away angrily. "Because you don't have enough money, do you get a credit card?" Miharu didn't answer my question.However, it is the same even if it is answered.I sighed. "You said you wanted me to be responsible. Is this what you call being responsible?" Hearing my question, she turned her face away with an expression of disbelief. "This little thing? Do you think you are responsible for such a trivial thing? Because of you, I am exhausted physically and mentally. I don't know what to believe to live, and I don't know what to do next. I don't think you know How does it feel to live like this every day?" "I know. Didn't I swear at that time that I would never do that kind of thing again?" "Did you think it would be canceled if you did that?" "of course not." "I also feel that my behavior is very strange. However, sometimes it is extremely painful. I just want to forget about it for a while and do some extravagant things. Is it so sinful?" I had nothing to say, and stared at the floor with my hands clenched into fists.Miharu suddenly rushed out of the living room, and then heard the sound of the bedroom door closing. For a while, I couldn't move.Every word she said was like a nail sticking into my chest.I took the whiskey bottle and glass and drank it without ice.I didn't feel sleepy at all.No, even if I can sleep, I can't enter the dormitory. The nightmare did not end that night.Miharu's wastefulness has also not stopped.I was sure she would stop spending as the savings balance dropped, but I guessed wrong.She actually applied for two more credit cards, and kept using those credit cards for shopping or cash advances, using the method of installment payment, so that the expenses on the account would not look too exaggerated.However, the higher and higher advances exceeded my salary in the blink of an eye.So I had no choice but to cancel the company's preferential deposit in the bank to make up for the shortfall, but obviously, this approach can only last for a while. Of course, I didn't just ignore Meiqing's behavior during that time.I beg her to at least use cash to buy things. "This passbook and ATM card are entrusted to you for safekeeping. You are free to spend the remaining money after deducting living expenses, so don't use your credit card for shopping!" However, she went in one ear and out the other. "I already knew there was no money at home, so I borrowed money everywhere." "If you do that, we'll really go bankrupt! Doesn't that matter?" "It's none of my business. Let me say it first, even if you stop my credit card, it's useless. If you do that, next time I'll go to the underground bank to borrow money." I have no idea what Miharu is thinking.It was impossible for her not to notice that doing so was tantamount to pinching her neck with her hands, but she didn't intend to stop.So I suspect that this may be a way of dying for love.Is she going to drag me into hell together...? When I was working in the company, my heart was in turmoil, and I was very worried that Meiqing would go to a usury company to borrow a large amount of money.Seriously, I even thought about putting her under house arrest.During that period, I was absent-minded no matter what I did, and my work was full of mistakes. "What's the matter with you? I can't concentrate on work at all recently. You are like this, I have a headache." The boss often reads me.I had to keep bowing my head and apologizing.You can't tell what's going on at home. During that period of time, my weight dropped rapidly. The mirror reflected a haggard face with sunken eye sockets.In addition, I am also very worried about not knowing what to do with the monthly accounts.If she is left alone, Miharu may borrow money from other places. Finally, a decisive thing happened.One day when I came home, I found Miharu waiting for me.She showed me a document and asked me to sign and stamp it.After reading the content of the document, I almost fainted from shock. It was a loan application letter of 500,000 yuan, and the other party was a financial company I had never heard of. "No matter how I do the calculations, next month's account will be very tight, so I decided to borrow money from here." Meiqing said in a tone of no big deal. "Sign it. And don't forget to stamp it." I trembled all over.In addition to anger, there is also fear of this woman, Miharu.At this moment, I am sure that my marriage partner is a terrible woman. "Do you know what you're doing?" My voice trembled. "Why, that face is scary. Of course I know, but what can I do if I can't pay the money? Actually, I wanted to borrow more, but the other party heard about your salary and said that they can only borrow so much People with low salaries can't borrow money even if they want to." After she finished speaking, she sneered a few times. At that moment, my anger reached its peak.I stood up, and when I came back to my senses, Meiqing had already hit her face with her hands and fell to the ground.My palms felt numb, and I knew I had done something to my wife. Miharu rubbed her cheek with her palm and looked up at me, one eye was red and she was biting her lip. "Get out! Get out, you crazy woman!" I growled. Meiqing stood up at an astonishing speed, left the living room, then rushed into the bedroom, and walked out of the bedroom within ten minutes after making a crackling sound.From the living room I saw her walking down the corridor with a large suitcase in both hands. When I was hesitating whether to stop her, the sound of her putting on shoes came from the entrance.I walked towards the entrance of the living room, and when I was about to reach the corridor, I heard the sound of the door opening and closing. I took a look at the empty entrance and walked into the bedroom.The wardrobe in the bedroom was fully open, leaving traces of Miharu stuffing the entire row of clothes into the suitcase.There was a hairbrush on the floor. I picked up the comb and lay down on the bed with it in my hand.Miharu's body odor lingered on the bed, and as I sniffed that smell, an unusually empty feeling hit my heart. Miharu did not contact me that night.I guessed that she might have gone back to her mother's house, so I was surprised when Yu Xizi called the company to find me the next day.Miharu seemed to have slept in the Kuramochi couple's master bedroom last night. Yukiko said, "Anyway, I'll go to your place now." Thirty minutes later, we met in the lobby of the company. "I heard what happened from Miharu, and I think you probably have your own reasons." Yukiko said with a serious face. "What did Miharu say?" Yukiko first had an expression of embarrassment, and then said: "She said you betrayed her. She spends money only when she is upset. Then you beat her and told her to get out... I thought you I don't know how to beat my wife, I didn't expect..." I groan.What Meiqing said was true.She was absolutely right.However, once the words came out of Yukiko's mouth, something felt wrong. "How is it? Is what Miharu said true?" Yukiko asked me. "Well, that's basically the same thing." I had to answer that. A look of disappointment was evident on Yukiko's face.No, it should be said that discouragement is mixed with disappointment and contempt. "I apologized to her about the affair, and I didn't do anything beyond the rules after that. Regarding hurting Miharu, I'm willing to do anything to make up for her, but..." "But you hit her." "I felt sorry for hitting her. But I was also in a mess at the time. After all, she kept borrowing money everywhere..." "I understand how you feel, but you are the one who caused today's situation, right?" "That's right." "Since this is the case, it is understandable for Meiqing to be a little willful." Hearing Yukiko say that, I still can't let go.I understand what she's trying to say, but I don't think the situation is as pure as she makes it out to be. "Meiqing said she wanted a divorce." My eyes widened in surprise. "She said she wanted to divorce me?" "Well. However, I think she said that recklessly because she was a little emotional now." "Divorce..." I lowered my head. "Hey, don't you even want to say that?" "I also thought about it last night, is this the only way left." Yukiko frowned and shook her head, "Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Anyway, you should have a good talk. That's what my guy said too." "My guy...does he mean Kuramo?" correct.The near-perfect woman in front of her who is considerate of others is already a wife.That Kuramochi is a happy husband.That Kuramochi design made Miharu my wife and made me suffer for that woman. "Calm down with each other for a while before talking!" Yukiko said in a slightly commanding tone. "Until then, we'll take care of Miharu." "Is she not planning to go back to her mother's house?" "She doesn't seem to want her natal family to know. Probably because she doesn't want them to worry." "yes……" Speaking of which, Meiqing almost never contacted her natal family.I haven't spoken to her natal family since the wedding ceremony. "You don't have to worry about causing trouble for us. After all, we are the ones who introduced you and Meiqing, and I think this is something we should do for granted. No matter what, my family and I hope that you two can live happily " Yukiko said with a sincere look in her eyes. Both me and my family?Does Kuramochi want us to be happy too? I murmured in my heart: "This is hard to say." Three days later, Miharu and I had a conversation in a hotel cafe in Tokyo.While I was waiting at the corner seat, the Kuramochi couple walked in with Miharu.She was wearing a white shirt that I hadn't seen before, which seemed to indicate that she wanted to be like a blank sheet of paper and start over from scratch. Kuramochi and Yukiko sat at a table farther away, and only Miharu walked up to me.After she sat down on the seat opposite, she said without looking at me, "I'm sorry I called you here when I was so busy." "How are you?" I asked. "fine." After that, we were silent for a while.I peek at Kuramos them.Kuramochi turned his back to me, and I met Yukiko who was sitting opposite him. "I calmed down and thought about it a lot." Meiqing finally spoke. "I think it's not good for each other to procrastinate in the current life. And I think, I will probably hold a grudge for your affair for the rest of my life. You probably don't want to live with a wife who has a knot in your heart, do you?" "Does that mean you can't forgive me?" "I think, even if I'm with you, the wound in my heart won't heal." "In other words, do you want a divorce?" "What about you? Don't you want a divorce?" "I think if I could do it all over again, I'd like to do it all over again. But we all have to change each other." "I probably can't do it," she continued. "If I want to change my current self, I feel that I must change. However, to do this, I must forget all the unpleasant things in the past. I'm sorry for saying this, but I just see your face, will become anxious.” I smiled wryly for a long time.My cheeks twitch.What she said was ruthless. "If you don't want a divorce anyway, I think I'll have to make it hard." "Are you going to be tough?" "I have a friend who is a lawyer. I thought, let's talk to him." "Do you mean to go to court?" "If you have to. After all, I have evidence of your cheating." "Evidence..." I immediately understood what Meiqing was talking about.She was referring to the apology letter she had asked me to write earlier.I am so stupid.At this time, I remembered the document that I hurriedly signed and stamped. "Did you expect things to develop into this situation at that time?" I couldn't help asking. "I didn't expect anything. I just don't like when things don't end clearly." Miharu's words are not worth trusting.However, even if I knew that things would develop into this situation, I would have to sign and fingerprint it at the time. "How is it? So you still don't agree to the divorce?" Meiqing looked at me reproachfully. I suddenly realized that the answer had already come out.This occasion was not prepared for our dialogue at all, but for me to listen to her answer.I can't argue with that.Thinking about it carefully, it is also very strange for a separated couple to talk in a place where everyone can see, such as a hotel coffee shop.I was supposed to go to the warehouse manager's house. "I see." I replied.I felt my shoulders drop heavily. "You agreed to the divorce, didn't you?" I could feel a twinkle in Miharu's eyes.It's really embarrassing to think that she wants to divorce him so much. "Yeah." I nodded. "Great." She sighed.It should be a sigh of relief. "It's a good thing you didn't have a baby, right?" "yes." Things would have played out differently if there had been children, and she probably wouldn't have filed for divorce so readily.I even wondered if she had no intention of having a child because she expected to have today? "One hundred thousand yuan is fine." Meiqing said. "One hundred thousand yuan?" "Every month's living expenses. After all, I can't survive with my current job alone." "Do you want me to pay?" "Of course. Those who made us divorce for no reason don't have to pay any responsibility, right?" "The so-called alimony?" "Well, yes. Actually, I want to ask for a large amount of money at once, but I also know that you have no money, so I want you to at least guarantee my monthly living expenses." "I can't do 100,000 yuan." "Then, let's talk about this matter another day." After finishing speaking, Miharu winked at Yukiko and the others. Yukiko came to us first, and Kuramochi followed her silently. "We decided to divorce." Miharu said to Yukiko. "Huh?" Yukiko stared at Miharu with widened eyes, and then turned her gaze to me. "Mr. Tajima, is this okay?" "Okay. I've confirmed with him just now." Meiqing answered instead of me. "But……" "I thought, I'm giving you two trouble. I'm moving out tonight, so don't worry." "Wait a minute, Miharu. Have you really had a good talk?" "I said, we have no room for conversation at all. Then, Mr. Kuramochi, that's the way it is." Miharu also threw a word at Kuramochi.Kuramochi scratched his nose in embarrassment. Meiqing stood up holding her handbag, and quickly walked towards the exit alone.Yu Xizi stepped forward and chased after him. I took a sip of the water in the glass and held my cheek.It was obviously his own business, but he could only watch the development of the plot dumbfounded.Before coming to this restaurant, I had thought long and hard about how to talk to Miharu, but it was all in vain. When I came back to my senses, I found Kuramochi sitting across from me smoking a cigarette.As soon as he made eye contact with me, he stubbed out his cigarette. "Life has its ups and downs, so don't take this matter to heart." Cang Chi said. "I heard from Ms. Yukiko that Miharu once worked in your company, right? That's why I heard you proposed to make her my wife, right?" Kuramochi didn't know if he was mentally prepared for the fact that I would find out, but there was no surprise on his face. "I was just thinking, if you like her. But I'm just thinking." "But you deliberately pretended to be firmly opposed to our association." "But you still want to marry her in spite of my objections, don't you?" Kuramochi was right.I have no words to refute. "Forget it, things have turned out like this anyway, and it's useless to talk about that. If you have something to worry about, you can talk to me about anything. I will help you as much as possible." I shook my head and stood up with the bill. "I don't owe you a favor." I walked towards the cashier.I think, at least at this time, I will pretend to be chic.
