Yu Jihui: “A Stinking Old Ninth – A Tale of the Coal Capital” (updated on July 2020)


               refused  to listen. Into  it Big Wang shouted  to  the


               woman in the matrimonial agency,



                       “I want to get a divorce!”


                       The woman in the  matrimonial agency  was



               surprised. She looked  at  us for a moment and  then


               said coldly, “Marriage is not a game! You registered



               your marriage in the morning, but in  the afternoon


               you’ve  come to request for a  divorce? Are you



               playing games? It’s impossible for me to get you a



               divorce! Since  you registered  here,  the marriage


               certificate has become effective. You are legitimate


               as husband and wife. If you really want a divorce,



               you have to stay separated for half a year. After the



               separation, you’ll have to get a letter of introduction


               from your school and then I’ll consider granting you



               a divorce.” Then the woman said to us, “Please get


               out!”
