My wife's first love, who had returned from overseas, got divorced. I said it was time for me to get divorced too, and my wife splashed scalding water in my face. She mocked me: "Qing Ye has talent and a degree. He's the finest man in the world."
"Do you have a degree or any talent? How dare you talk about divorce?"
I'd given up the chance to study abroad so I could help her build her business, but now my lack of a degree had become a stain on my record. At last, she decided I wasn't good enough for her.
