Chapter 181 Leaving a relationship takes time

"What happened next? Is Sister Hou okay? Did you guys suffer any harm?" Zhao Xiaojing's heart tightened when she heard this.

"No, Zhou Mingliang was frightened and didn't dare to fight back at that time. When the people on the construction site saw Guihua taking action, they all ran over to separate them. But they couldn't stand your sister Hou's strong strength and impatient temper, so Zhou Mingliang still got several bloody marks on his face, and the people who came to separate were not spared either." Geng Mingyan smiled helplessly, and her tone softened a lot when she mentioned Hou Guihua.

"Sister Hou is truly chivalrous and impetuous, and she's incredibly kind to her friends," Zhao Xiaojing sighed. "But you must be feeling bad after this got out, right? Is that one of the reasons you're resigning and leaving the construction site?"

"Yes, the commotion that day was too big. I'm shy and it was the first time I caused such a thing. Everyone knows about it, so I can't stay here any longer.

And those people who were trying to stop the fight because of Guihua's scratches said they were fine, but their faces didn't look good. If she stayed any longer, she might have made an enemy."

"What about Zhou Mingliang? Did he resign?" Zhao Xiaojing asked.

"Haha, no. Now it seems that he is really shameless. He didn't even mention this matter. I guess he never thought about it at all." Geng Mingyan answered sarcastically.

"Has he agreed to the divorce? Who will the child belong to? When are we going to get the marriage certificate?"

"He definitely didn't agree at first, but this time I was completely disappointed and didn't care about marital love or face. When he begged me, I scolded him. I scolded him during the day and asked him to divorce me. Then I came to live with Guihua at night.

Guihua also accompanied me to scold him every day, and her scolding was even harsher than mine. When she got angry, she even blocked the door and asked me to hit her. Geng Mingyan laughed as she spoke. "After so many times, Zhou Mingliang couldn't stand it anymore, so he finally agreed. We took leave two days ago to apply for the divorce certificate, and we can go and get it in a month.

As for the child, because it's a girl, his parents have always been lukewarm about it. He himself is even more unwilling to take care of the child. He didn't fight with me for custody. He just said that the house built in his hometown belongs to him, and asked me to leave him half of the property we have acquired during the marriage over the years.

Guihua couldn't stand it and told him to leave the house, but I didn't want to argue anymore. After all, the child was mine. The house was built in the village, and I couldn't live there if I didn't go back. I can earn money myself. As long as he agrees to divorce immediately, I'll give it to him. It's less than 200,000 yuan, and half of it won't be much.

"That's fine. It's a brave decision to cut off one's own arm." Zhao Xiaojing sighed.

The saying "a brave man cuts off his wrist to preserve his body" means that if a venomous snake bites his wrist, he should immediately amputate it to prevent the poison from spreading throughout the body. She supports Sister Geng's approach. Rather than wasting time fighting with such people for 100,000 yuan and a rural house they can't afford, it's better to leave early and find freedom, using these material costs to take away her daughter's and her own freedom, and escape the quagmire sooner.

"It's not that brave. To be honest, I wasn't so resolute at the beginning. At the beginning, when Zhou Mingliang cried in front of me, begged for mercy, and even slapped himself in the face, I felt soft-hearted and wavered. If it weren't for Guihua, I might have really fallen for it.

Guihua was the one who saw things clearly. That time when Zhou Mingliang slapped himself, she called him hypocritical and grabbed him, saying he didn't hit her lightly enough and wanted to do it herself. When Zhou Mingliang saw that Guihua was really brave enough to slap him, his expression immediately changed. He became angry and wanted to hit Guihua. Only then did I finally see through him and understand how hypocritical he was and how much he had put on an act in front of me.

"Alas, everyone will fall down one day. It's not too late to see it clearly now. Sister Geng, congratulations on escaping from the sea of ​​suffering." Zhao Xiaojing said sincerely.

"Thank you, Xiao Zhao. I remember everything you said to me before. Those words have been spinning in my mind. I always think of them from time to time, but I just can't make up my mind. Blame me for being indecisive and procrastinating." Geng Mingyan's voice became gentle again and she spoke calmly.

"It takes time for people to leave a relationship. After all, you have been married for so many years and your children are so grown up. It takes a lot of courage for you to make this decision. Decisiveness is determined by the results, not the process.

What are you and Sister Hou planning to do after that? Are you going to find another job?" Zhao Xiaojing asked concernedly.

"Guihua suggested we open a breakfast shop, but I'm still hesitant. After all, we don't have much money, and Zhou Mingliang might not give child support, and I don't want the child to have anything to do with him anymore. Also, the child is just in his first year of high school, and school is a time when he needs money. Opening a shop doesn't guarantee profits every time, and the money earned won't be recouped that quickly.

Guihua has saved some money. She said she would pay the lion's share, but I was afraid that if the business was bad, Guihua would be dragged down as well. After all, she is an individual and this money will be her retirement fund in the future.

We've been discussing opening a shop where we can sell breakfast in the morning and the fried skewers you taught us to make at noon and in the evening. We're also planning to give you a call once we've made a decision, as it's your craft, after all." Geng Mingyan said.

"It's okay. Since I taught you, why shouldn't I let you use it? Back then, the cafeteria was packed, and we had to fry hundreds of pounds of food every day. I didn't actually teach you much." Zhao Xiaojing shook her head over the phone. "So, are you planning to continue opening a shop in Hecheng?"

“We are still discussing whether to open the store or not.

I have lived in Hecheng for half my life and I have too many memories here. On the one hand, I feel that the city is small and the place is familiar to me. If I open a store here, I still have many old customers, so maybe I can get started faster. Besides, my children are still studying here.

On the other hand, I feel that all the memories here are related to Zhou Mingliang. It is inevitable to meet a lot of relatives and friends. Every time I meet them, I have to remember these things and explain them. Staying here and in the previous environment makes people feel very annoyed. Moreover, the children are also boarding and are unwilling to come out during holidays, so I can only see them a few times.

Guihua doesn't care, she thinks it's the same wherever she lives." Geng Mingyan said worriedly.

"Sister Geng, please wait a minute and I'll call you later." Zhao Xiaojing said after thinking for a while.

"good."

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiaojing stretched her neck to take a look at Su Yuchen who was busy making sweet soup in the kitchen, then entered the virtual space and summoned Xiaozhi.

She wanted to invite Sister Hou and Sister Geng to the store to help out. After all, they wanted to open a shop to sell breakfast and fried skewers. Since the store was empty in the morning, she could let them sell breakfast here. As for the fried skewers, she had originally thought of hiring someone to do it in the store once the business stabilized.

Now, instead of teaching someone she doesn’t know, it’s better to just call the two older sisters over, and she can save the trouble of teaching them again.

After calculating for a few seconds, Xiaozhi gave the result.

Zhao Xiaojing's expression suddenly became indescribable.
