Cô vợ đòi ly hôn khi Tết cận kề và câu chuyện nhức nhối đằng sau cuốn sổ tiết kiệm 600 triệu cùng 2000 mẩu giấy nhớ

Bà kể, mở chiếc hộp chứa đựng tài sản lớn mà ông để dành trong suốt mấy chục năm qua là cuốn sổ tiết kiệm dành cho các con trị giá 600 triệu cùng hơn 2000 mẩu giấy nhớ.

01

Trở về từ dòng người hối hả, tấp nập mang hơi thở của Tết, cô thấy trống trải vô cùng. Đơn đã đủ 2 chữ kí vậy mà cô chẳng đủ dũng cảm để bước vào tòa án. Bởi nếu điều ấy thực sự xảy ra, chỉ qua cái Tết các con cô sẽ phải xa nhau, tổ ấm này sẽ chẳng bao giờ được gọi là gia đình nữa.

Tối qua chồng cô đã kịp đưa 2 con về quê sớm với ông bà để sáng nay lên đi làm cho kịp. Vậy là căn nhà này bây giờ chỉ có 2 người họ với nhau, một không gian đáng sợ đến nghẹt thở. Cô nhớ những cái Tết trước đây, khi họ còn trong căn nhà trọ chật chội, mọi thứ không lạnh lẽo đến thế này.

“Thằng Công lại về muộn hả, chưa ăn gì thì sang đây, còn nhiều xôi lắm”, bà hàng xóm nhìn thấy cô ủ rũ thì hỏi han. Cô vẫn coi bà như mẹ, có chuyện gì cũng tâm sự, thi thoảng còn nhờ bà trông con, trông nhà cho chạy đi loanh quanh.

Những lúc thế này, cô chẳng nghĩ được gì hơn là tìm một không gian ít kỉ niệm, để không phải xót, phải đau, phải tiếc nuối. Con cháu nhà bà đã về quê hết nên chỉ có bà ở nhà 1 mình, cô tha hồ mà tâm sự, sẽ dễ trải lòng hơn việc cô nói chuyện với mẹ đẻ mình hoặc bất cứ 1 người thân nào đó.

“Vì sao ông bà lại ly hôn rồi quay lại thế ạ? Bà chưa kể cho con nghe đâu”, cô hỏi chuyện bà hàng xóm.

Người phụ nữ đã trải qua gần 70 mùa xuân trầm ngâm, mắt hướng lên di ảnh chồng mỉm cười. Có lẽ đó là nụ cười thanh thản, không vướng bận tâm tư của những đau khổ trong quá khứ.

Bà kể, vợ chồng bà cũng như cô, không có kẻ thứ 3, không vì một lý do gì quá nghiêm trọng nhưng họ vẫn quyết định chia tay. Vì bà, bà không muốn “cô độc dù có chồng”.

Vào những năm xa xôi ấy, để lấy được bà, ông phải bỏ công việc tự do để xin vào làm công nhân nhà máy Dệt. Thời đó được làm công việc ấy là danh giá lắm, ổn định còn hơn là làm cái anh sửa xe ngày 10 tiếng tay đầy dầu mỡ.

Thế rồi tình yêu của ông bà chẳng khác nào chuyện “một túp lều tranh hai trái tim vàng”. Hôn nhân của họ không có cãi vã, không giận hờn, không ngọt ngào lãng mạn. Đơn giản chỉ vì họ chẳng có thời gian mà giận nhau. Bà đi làm giờ hành chính còn ông lại làm ca đêm. Cứ giờ bà đi thì ông về mà giờ bà về ông lại đi. Thời bấy giờ không điện thoại, không facebook, zalo, cách mà họ giao tiếp với nhau chỉ qua những mẩu giấy nhớ cắt từ quyển lịch hoặc vở của con đã viết ra mà dùng.

Sáng bà đi làm mà chẳng kịp chờ ông về bà sẽ để lại vài chữ: “Cơm em ủ trong chăn chiên nhé, còn 2 quả trứng luộc nhớ ăn cho hết”, “Có nồi cá kho dưa anh thích ăn nhất trong chạn đấy”, “Chiều dậy sửa cho em cái quạt, kêu to lắm đêm qua thằng Tí chả ngủ được…” cùng hàng nghìn những thông tin họ chẳng thể trao đổi trực tiếp.

Cũng như thế, trước khi đi làm ông sẽ để lại cho bà những mẩu giấy nhớ: “Anh xào rau rồi, tối nhớ đi thăm con cô Y. hôm qua mới bị ngã gãy chân đấy”, “Là cho anh cái áo mai anh mặc đi ăn cưới”, “Tiền học của con anh để ở tủ nhé”…

Cuộc sống của họ cứ thế trôi qua cho đến khi bà quá mệt mỏi và đề nghị ông đổi công việc khác. Bấy giờ, ông trả lời bà rất thẳng thắn: “Anh làm ở đây quen rồi, lâu năm cũng có thâm niên, giờ già rồi biết đi đâu tìm việc. Mà chẳng phải em thích thế hay sao?”. Trong mắt bà ông là người chẳng có chí hướng, cũng không biết phấn đấu vì vợ con.

Mỗi cái Tết trôi qua, nhìn nhà người ta khấm khá lên, nhà mình cứ lương 3 cọc 3 đồng, đêm hôm vợ cần chồng nhất thì chồng không ở nhà đâm ra bà chán nản.

“Vào một ngày giáp Tết, cô đã đòi ly hôn, ông ấy miễn cưỡng đồng ý sau rất nhiều cãi vã và thời gian dài vợ chồng xích mích, bất đồng quan điểm. Chú để cô nuôi con hết, hàng tháng sẽ hỗ trợ tiền”, bà kể lại, ánh mắt có chút cay cay.

Nhưng câu chuyện đằng sau mới thật sự khiến người phụ nữ từng cảm thấy rất cô độc khi sống cùng chồng phải suy ngẫm. Suốt 20 năm đằng đẵng, ông đều làm tròn trách nhiệm người cha, cấp dưỡng cho con đến khi đứa lớn đi làm. Đến ngày 3 mẹ con bà mua được căn chung cư này thì bà nhận được tin ông bị ung thư. Bà gạt qua tất cả mọi chuyện trong quá khứ đề nghị con cái đón ông về chăm sóc những ngày cuối đời.

“Lúc trút hơi thở cuối cùng ông ấy nắm tay cô thều thào, nói lời xin lỗi, lời cám ơn. Ông ấy hỏi cô tại sao lại đối xử tốt với ông ấy dù đã chia tay bao nhiêu năm như thế. Cô cũng thành thật với lòng mình: ‘Vì tôi thương ông, vì suốt cuộc đời này ông luôn là bố của các con tôi. Và vì ly hôn không có nghĩa tình yêu đã hết’. Ông ấy mỉm cười, có lẽ đã ra đi thanh thản”, những kí ức ùa về trong mắt bà, long lanh, nặng trĩu.

Bà kể, mở chiếc hộp chứa đựng tài sản lớn mà ông để dành trong suốt mấy chục năm qua là cuốn sổ tiết kiệm dành cho các con trị giá 600 triệu cùng hơn 2000 mẩu giấy nhớ. Ông bảo, viết giấy nhớ đã trở thành thói quen của ông rồi. Trong những dòng chữ nguệch ngoạc ở miếng giấy tủn mủn, bà nhận ra rõ nỗi đau và sự bất lực của chồng. Ông tự nhận mình kém cỏi, không thể vươn ra “biển lớn” mà lo cho vợ con nên ông đành giải thoát cho bà. Bởi ông hiểu cuộc sống họ đang trải qua không phải hôn nhân thực sự.

Đối với ông, tình yêu đạt ở cảnh giới cao nhất khi người ta biết buông bỏ nếu không thể mang lại hạnh phúc cho người mình yêu. Ai ngờ suốt bao năm bà vẫn chẳng tìm tình yêu mới. Vậy là họ cứ lặng lẽ nghĩ về nhau sau lớp “hàng rào” vô hình, một người không muốn mạo hiểm, một người chẳng chịu níu giữ.

Bà nhìn cô sau câu chuyện dài an ủi: “Cô không sống trong hoàn cảnh của con, cô chẳng thể nói con nên làm thế này hay thế kia nhưng đã là vợ chồng với nhau thì sau này có ly hôn, có muốn chối bỏ cũng không được. Giữa chúng ta còn con cái, còn những kỉ niệm, còn rất nhiều thứ ràng buộc không thể diễn tả bằng lời. Đừng vội buông bỏ khi chưa thực sự cố gắng. Cuộc ly hôn đáng tiếc nhất là khi 2 bên vẫn còn tình yêu. Đừng vì cái tôi cá nhân mà để con cái phải khổ con ạ”.

Khi cuộc nói chuyện còn chưa đến hồi kết, khi nước mắt đang lưng tròng thì cô nhận được điện thoại từ chồng: “Em có ở nhà không xuống khiêng với anh chậu quất”. Tự nhiên nghe mà lạ lẫm, đã lâu lắm rồi cô chẳng nghe được 1 câu “anh – em” từ chồng, chỉ đơn giản vì những mẩu giấy nhớ kia đã biến thành tin nhắn messenger. Hiện đại quá, bận rộn quá mà họ quên mất sự tồn tại của nhau, quên cả việc họ đang thực hiện nghĩa vụ của người chồng, người vợ.

Loay hoay trồng xong chậu quất, bỗng nhiên chồng cô hớn hở nói với vợ: “Vắng 2 đứa mà nhà buồn nhỉ. Thế này sang năm chỉ có 2 mẹ con đón Tết thì mất vui. Hay là… chúng mình đừng ly hôn được không em, vì những cái Tết trọn vẹn…”.

Cô buông cốc nước, ôm anh khóc như một đứa trẻ, cô sai rồi, sai chẳng kém gì chồng mình. Giờ thì cô đã hiểu, hôn nhân ngoài tình yêu ra còn cần sự bao dung và kiên nhẫn, vợ chồng chẳng cần bên nhau bao nhiêu năm, chỉ cần vào mùa xuân cuối cùng của cuộc đời, vẫn nắm chặt tay nhau là đủ rồi.

Many brands and retailers have turned to shopping bots to enhance various stages of the customer journey. Sadly, a shopping bot isn’t a robot you can send out to do your shopping for you. But for now, a shopping bot is an artificial intelligence (AI) that completes specific tasks. With shopping bots, customers can make purchases with minimal time and effort, enhancing the overall shopping experience.

But when bots target these margin-negative products, the customer acquisition goals of flash sales go unmet. All you achieve is low-to-negative margin sales without any of the benefits. The lifetime value of the grinch bot is not as valuable as a satisfied customer who regularly returns to buy additional products. First, you miss a chance to create a connection with a valuable customer. Hyped product launches can be a fantastic way to reward loyal customers and bring new customers into the fold. Shopping bots sever the relationship between your potential customers and your brand.

Additionally, these bots can be integrated with user accounts, allowing them to store preferences, sizes, and even payment details securely. This results in a faster checkout process, as the bot can auto-fill necessary details, reducing the hassle of manual data entry. By analyzing a user’s browsing history, past purchases, and even search queries, these bots can create a detailed profile of the user’s preferences. This round-the-clock availability ensures that customers always feel supported and valued, elevating their overall shopping experience. Gone are the days of scrolling endlessly through pages of products; these bots curate a personalized shopping list in an instant.

This is where shoppers will typically ask questions, read online reviews, view what the experience will look like, and ask further questions. They too use a shopping bot on their website that takes the user through every step of the customer journey. They can add items to carts, fill in shipping details, and even complete purchases, often used for high-demand items. However, for those who prioritize a seamless building experience and crave more integrations, ShoppingBotAI might just be your next best friend in the shopping bot realm.

Such proactive suggestions significantly reduce the time users spend browsing. Shopping bots, often referred to as retail bots or order bots, are software tools designed to automate the online shopping process.

Probably the most well-known type of ecommerce bot, scalping bots use unfair methods to get limited-availability and/or preferred goods or services. Shopping bots enabled by voice and text interfaces make online purchasing much more accessible. This leads to quick and accurate resolution of customer queries, contributing to a superior customer experience. Shopping bots have an edge over traditional retailers when it comes to customer interaction and problem resolution. One of the major advantages of bots over traditional retailers lies in the personalization they offer. The retail industry, characterized by stiff competition, dynamic demands, and a never-ending array of products, appears to be an ideal ground for bots to prove their mettle.

This level of precision ensures that users are always matched with products that are not only relevant but also of high quality.

Shopping bots enable brands to drive a wide range of valuable use cases.

For every bot mitigation solution implemented, there are bot developers across the world working on ways to circumvent it. 45% of online businesses said bot attacks resulted in more website and IT crashes in 2022.

Instead of spending hours browsing through countless websites, these bots research, compare, and provide the best product options within seconds. This not only fosters a deeper connection between the brand and the consumer but also ensures that shopping online is as interactive and engaging as walking into a physical store. This lets eCommerce brands give their bot personality and adds authenticity to conversational commerce. BargainBot seeks to replace the old boring way of offering discounts by allowing customers to haggle the price. The bot can strike deals with customers before allowing them to proceed to checkout.

In-store merchants, on the other hand, can leverage shopping bots in their digital platforms to drive foot traffic to their physical locations. One of the standout features of shopping bots is their ability to provide tailored product suggestions. In 2023, as the e-commerce landscape becomes more saturated with countless products and brands, the role of the best shopping bots has never been more crucial.

You don’t have to tell it anything, just choose a category and then a product and the AI will start asking questions to find the right item. Shop.app AI by Shopify https://chat.openai.com/ has a chat panel on the right side and a shopping panel on the left. You can write your queries in the chat, and it will show results in the left panel.

For online merchants, this means a significant reduction in bounce rates. When customers find relevant products quickly, they’re more likely to stay on the site and complete a purchase. Navigating the e-commerce world without guidance can often feel like an endless voyage. With a plethora of choices at their fingertips, customers can easily get overwhelmed, leading to decision fatigue or, worse, abandoning their shopping journey altogether. They crave a shopping experience that feels unique to them, one where the products and deals presented align perfectly with their tastes and needs.

Chatbots also cater to consumers’ need for instant gratification and answers, whether stores use them to provide 24/7 customer support or advertise flash sales. This constant availability builds customer trust and increases eCommerce conversion rates. Jenny provides self-service chatbots intending to ensure that businesses serve all their customers, not just a select few. The no-code chatbot may be used as a standalone solution or alongside live chat applications such as Zendesk, Facebook Messenger, SpanEngage, among others. Verloop is a conversational AI platform that strives to replicate the in-store assistance experience across digital channels. Users can access various features like multiple intent recognition, proactive communications, and personalized messaging.

They streamline operations, enhance customer journeys, and contribute to your bottom line. Online customers usually expect immediate responses to their inquiries. However, it’s humanly impossible to provide round-the-clock assistance. You can foun additiona information about ai customer service and artificial intelligence and NLP. While physical stores give the freedom to ‘try before you buy,’ online shopping misses out on this personal touch. One of the significant benefits that shopping bots contribute is facilitating a fast and easy checkout process.

You don’t want to miss out on this broad audience segment by having a shopping bot that misbehaves on smaller screens or struggles to integrate with mobile interfaces. This shift is due to a number of benefits that these bots bring to the table for merchants, both online and in-store. The customer’s ability to interact with products is a key factor that marks the difference between online and brick-and-mortar shopping. When a customer lands at the checkout stage, the bot readily fills in the necessary details, removing the need for manual data input every time you’re concluding a purchase. This vital consumer insight allows businesses to make informed decisions and improve their product offerings and services continually. Ranging from clothing to furniture, this bot provides recommendations for almost all retail products.

Whether an intentional DDoS attack or a byproduct of massive bot traffic, website crashes and slowdowns are terrible for any retailer. They lose you sales, shake the trust of your customers, and expose your systems to security breaches. So it’s not difficult to see how they overwhelm web application infrastructure, leading to site crashes and slowdowns.

Theo thông tin của rất nhiều khách hàng không may sử dụng dịch vụ của công ty tài chính COMB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB, thì họ liên tục bị điện thoại khủng bố người nhà và cả bạn bè trên Facebook, mặc dù khoản vay chưa đến hạn thanh toán. Ví dụ bạn có khoản vay 20 phải đóng hàng tháng thì từ ngày 10 đến ngày 20 bạn sẽ liên tục bị gọi điện ngày 2-3 cuộc nhắc nợ, nếu khách hàng cảm thấy phiền không nghe thì họ sẽ tìm thông tin của bạn bè người thân trên facebook rồi gọi điện làm phiền. Theo như nhiều người sử dụng các dịch vụ tài chính thì chưa có dịch vụ tài chính nào có kiểu nhắc nợ bỉ ổi như công ty tài chính ComB của ngân hàng Phương Đông OCB. Các công ty tài chính chỉ gọi điện nhắc nợ nhiều lần khi khách hàng đã quá ngày thanh toán mà chưa hoàn thành còn trước đó họ chỉ gọi 1 cuộc để nhắc nhở khách hàng mà thôi. Co những khách hàng lịch sử trả nợ rất tốt, chưa bao giờ bị quá hạn vẫn bị khủng bố như thường.
