You're a Forty-Year-Old Divorced Woman, You've Lost Your Market, What's the Point of Being Picky?
At forty, Moran slapped the cheating husband and his mistress, and tossed an divorce agreement, walking away with grace.Moran is a woman with a of emotions; if a man doesn't love her, what's the point of being trapped in a marriage's shell?
She didn't give the man anything; she fought for every bit she deserved—the house, the savings, and her teenage son stood firmly by her side during the divorce.
After the divorce, Moran and her son struggled for a long time, she had her own job and could support herself and her son comfortably. In her spare time, she traveled and went shopping with her friends, living a happy life.
Over time, people around her began to introduce her to potential suitors, and though Moran had little hope for a new love, she still felt that in the vast sea of people,
if she could find someone who truly understood her, someone to share her life with, it would be wonderful. But the men she had dated weren't satisfying, some were sloppy and middle-aged, while one wanted to sleep with her on the first meeting.
When she rejected him, he said to her mockingly, 'Stop pretending, you're a divorced woman, you're ruthless.'
After rejecting these men, people around her began to advise her: 'You're forty years old, why are you looking for a partner? Just settle for someone.'
Moran just smiled, but didn't speak. She thought, if she only settled for someone, she wouldn't have divorced in the first place. A second marriage required companionship for decades, and she needed to find someone compatible.
Rumors about her as a divorced woman continued to circulate. Once, Moran heard two women whispering about her in the bathroom: 'What a pretentious woman, a forty-year-old divorced woman, she's no longer marketable.'
Moran didn't care about these rumors; she lived her life for herself. If she didn't feel comfortable compromising for others, it was worth it.In an outdoor activity, Moran met Old Gao, a fellow photography enthusiast who was two years younger than her. His wife was going abroad to develop, but he felt he couldn't leave his homeland, and their feelings had faded. They divorced, and they found common ground.
Most importantly, Moran's son liked Old Gao very much. When they played football together, Moran thought of the word 'gentle spring' as she watched.
At the end of the year, Moran and Old Gao got married. On the wedding, Old Gao looked handsome and elegant next to Moran. They were a perfect match.
All those who mocked Moran as a woman nobody wanted had fallen silent.
Divorced women still have the right to pursue a beautiful life and choose a loving partner. Just be patient, and you'll eventually find your spring.
