Dream Reading

After my daughter died, I decided to divorce my wife, leave the military family compound, and return to my hometown to spend the rest of my life.

On the first day, I wrote the divorce report and had my wife sign her name.

On the fifth day, I packed my luggage and submitted my resignation letter.

On the seventh day, I bought a ticket and boarded the train home.

From today on, you and I are just strangers, with no chance of turning back.

Xu Jingyi accused me of making a fuss, saying our daughter had nothing more than a small cold and would get over it.

But later, when she learned that our daughter had died, she started frantically looking for me like she had gone mad.



Three Days After My Daughter Died, the Wife of the Group Leader Finally Returned Home

The last time I saw Xu Jingyi was when she handed me the compensation approved by the organization, looking traveled-worn.


A thick stack of envelopes, I briefly opened and glanced through them, approximately five thousand yuan.


I was momentarily surprised; in an era where even food was scarce, five thousand yuan was undoubtedly a fortune.


She must have contributed all her accumulated salary from these years as well.


I said nothing, nor did I accept it; I simply nodded and turned away.


I heard her seem to softly say "sorry" behind me, but the words scattered and disappeared with the cold wind, leaving no trace.


The weather had already entered into deep winter, with cold that pierced to the bone, but after that, spring would eventually come, and all the hardships would bloom into warmth and flowers.


We both understood without words; this was the best outcome indeed.
