Gossip A while ago, I posted a motivational story on social media. A 48-year-old woman (still full of charm) whose husband had been cheating. Unable to tolerate it any longer, she filed for divorce. Then, at a class reunion, she met her childhood friend who had returned from the UK. The friend worked in medicine and planned to return to Japan to open a factory...
1、Gossip The other day, I posted a piece of gossip I heard on social media. It's a very inspiring story. A 48-year-old middle-aged woman (still charming), whose factory-owning husband was constantly cheating, finally had enough and filed for divorce. At a school reunion, she met a childhood classmate who had returned from the UK. The classmate, who had been working in the pharmaceutical industry in the UK and planned to start a business in Japan, was far wealthier than her ex-husband. He had always had a crush on her since they were kids but felt she was out of his league. Now, both divorced and with his children living abroad, he pursued her vigorously and succeeded. After their marriage, he immediately gifted her a Mercedes. The man, being from the same hometown, mentioned to his mother that he was planning to remarry, and when he said it was his elementary and middle school classmate, his mother immediately named the woman, asking if it was that young lady. I know this auntie, though I haven't seen her in over ten years. The person who told me the story is very close to her and even closer to me. That's the gist of the story; the details are completely unknown. This true gossip caused a bit of a stir and sparked some analysis, such as the auntie probably being very likable, likely possessing both innocence and elegance, or that a reliable elementary school classmate is important, and so on. Of course, everyone knows it's not necessarily true. Some women who are strong and shrewd in the world are also deeply loved. Some men prefer the older sister type or the feisty style, and they feel restless if they aren't scolded once in a while. As far as I know, it's true that this auntie is quite good-looking. She has a dimple, and her eyes crinkle when she smiles. She must have been quite playful as a child. When I knew her ten years ago, she was quite pretty for a middle-aged woman, with a well-maintained figure and always neatly groomed. If she keeps up the habit, she should look much the same after ten years. Otherwise, no matter how much a man once admired her, he would be disillusioned with a vulgar, coarse middle-aged woman. That would be a wake-up call, leaving only sighs. As for her personality, I've always heard that she is very shrewd, definitely not the literary type of auntie found in Qiong Yao's books. 2、Stockings Today, when I was leaving work, the rain made the night hazy, and it was pitch dark by 5 o'clock. I was walking carefully in my high heels, looking down at the road when I noticed a run in my stockings. I could just take them off and throw them away when I got home. Nylon stockings are low-value consumables. There are also expensive ones, ranging from 10 yuan a pair to 200 or 300 yuan. They should have quality differences in terms of durability or elasticity, but when faced with strong external forces, their fragility is about the same. For example, if you fall, get snagged by a broken nail, or brush against a rough, damaged table corner, they will be damaged regardless of the price. You can only take them off at home and throw them in the trash. After all, they are not a pair of pants but just a pair of nylon stockings. Thin and fragile is their nature. I think this is the case for most women. "They" (including myself) have innate quality differences. Some are beautiful, some are not, some are strong, and some are not, but thin and fragile is still a characteristic of "her." The fate they face is like stockings. Good quality can withstand some damage (for example, beautiful people are less likely to be discriminated against and more likely to be admired), but ultimately, destiny determines whether she will be cherished or damaged and discarded. Analysis is of no use. The same factors, when applied to different people, will produce different results. Emotions are not mathematics; they are chemistry. |
