She Wants a Divorce in ’87? Then I Buy a Yamaha
In 1987, the day before his divorce, he binds to a system. The diamond bachelor system: as long as he stays single, he receives a daily singlehood allowance. From then on, he lives a deliciously slow-paced life. … His wife says he’s useless and forces him to hand over 5,000 yuan for her younger brother, who is about to get married. The couple across the hall wait to see the joke of his life after divorce. His mother-in-law shouts to the whole world that Chen Kangqiao is a useless loser who definitely won’t survive after divorce! After binding to the system, he decisively divorces. Divorce! Whoever doesn’t divorce is a grandson! Later, while his ex-wife is working herself to the bone for two stepsons, he rides a Yamaha motorcycle and enjoys the sea breeze on the cross-sea bridge. While his ex-wife haggles with street vendors to save a few cents, he spends the remittance and a stack of colorful overseas remittance vouchers the system gave him choosing imported goods at the Friendship Store. While his ex-wife’s family turns on each other over money and beats each other bloody, he’s eating braised sea cucumber with green onions at the Bohai Hotel, the tallest building in Northeast China in the 1980s… What? You say being single is bad, that being alone is lonely, that having no children means no one to rely on when you’re old? He laughs. They don’t understand him. The longer he stays single, the richer the system gets. Living alone is the real comfort.
