Over the years at work, I've saved over two hundred thousand. It's not much, but I feel it's enough. I started dating a girlfriend, and we've been together for over a year; she got pregnant. My mom said to keep her, since this girl doesn’t mind that you don't have a car or a house, and she’s willing to be with you, so don’t be picky.

The bride price was one hundred thousand. Her family didn't ask for much, and my family could come up with it. After the wedding, with the remaining money, we rented a place, bought some furniture, and started living.

In the second year of marriage, we had a child. Suddenly, the expenses increased significantly. Diapers, milk powder, clothes, and hospital visits when sick—all require money. She doesn’t work and stays at home to take care of the child, while I earn alone. My monthly salary is five thousand; after paying rent, utilities, and buying for the child, not much is left.

She started to complain. She said other families are living better, while we are struggling. She said if she had known it would be like this, it would have been better to have the child later. I listened without saying a word. If I talked too much, I would also get annoyed, we’d argue. After fighting, we regretted it, and a few days later, we’d argue again. It was a cycle.

In the third year, she said she wanted a divorce. I said to think about it again. She said she was sure. The child would stay with her, and I would pay child support. I said okay.

On the day of the divorce, we didn’t argue. We signed the papers, got the stamps, and went our separate ways. She left with the child; the child looked back at me, and I waved.

Later, I calculated the bills. The debts have been repaid, but what’s left isn’t enough. Credit cards, online loans, borrowing from friends—adding it all up, it’s over a hundred thousand. Every month when my salary comes in, I pay this and that, and only a few hundred are left for living expenses.

Now I live alone, in a ten square meter room, with a monthly rent of four hundred. I eat in the cafeteria, wear old clothes, don’t smoke or drink. After work, I lie down, scroll through my phone, and the day passes. Sometimes I think about the child, look at the photos, then turn off the phone and continue lying down.

A few days ago, she sent a message saying the child is going to kindergarten, and we need to gather the tuition fees. I said okay, I’ll give you at the end of the month. After hanging up the phone, I calculated that I could still save two hundred. Enough for meals #BTC行情 $BTC
