The changes started that day! Too exhausted to think, she fell into a deep sleep, sleeping until the afternoon. She picked up the child, fed him, and then took him back. She gave him a dollar, as promised, on this day every month. Then she went to work. The people in the cafeteria knew what had happened that morning and looked at Wei Shuqing curiously. Wei Shuqing acted as if nothing had happened, continuing with her work as usual. Zhao Dahu couldn't stand it and spoke up, "What are you all doing? Do your own work!" Then he transferred Wei Shuqing to help him with the small kitchen. "Xiao Wei, the boss is having a reception today, and we need to prepare a lot of dishes. Come with me to the small kitchen." Wei Shuqing put down her work and nodded, agreeing.

The two went to the small kitchen and talked while washing vegetables. Zhao Dahu said, "You two..." Wei Shuqing said indifferently, "We're divorced."

Zhao Dahu was taken aback, unsure what to say. After a while, he said, "Then your son..."

Wei Shuqing said bitterly while picking vegetables, "I'll take care of him, it's not his responsibility, and he'll have nothing to do with his family in the future. When I remarry, I'll have to change the child's surname immediately to avoid bad luck."

Zhao Dahu coughed awkwardly a few times and said in a low voice, "It will be tough for you to raise a child alone in the future."

Wei Shuqing smiled and said, "What's there to be afraid of? No matter how tough things get, we can get through it until sunset. Let's not talk about that. What do we need to prepare?"

After busying herself for a while, she finished cooking and brought everything up. Just like Zhao Dahu, she left a little bit in the lunchbox and said, "Go to the small room, eat your meal, and then take a nap." Wei Shuqing was taken aback and said, "That's all?"

Zhao Dahu said, "Yeah, everything will be fine once the leader leaves. Go on! You're so thin, you need to eat more to nourish yourself, otherwise how will you raise your children in the future?"

Wei Shuqing accepted it shyly and said, "Thank you!"

Zhao Dahu said, "Eat more, I've packed some for you in your lunchbox. Don't skimp!"

Wei Shuqing nodded, revealing a sweet smile. She went into the small house, finished her meal, cleaned it up, put it aside, and went to sleep.

Looking at this pitiful woman, Zhao Dahu couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy.

During this time, Wei Shuqing was able to eat her fill, her complexion became fuller, and her appearance improved significantly. People couldn't help but describe her as pretty.

She slept soundly until dawn, when Zhao Dahu woke her up. She got up, grabbed her lunchbox, and prepared to leave work. She also thanked Zhao Dahu sincerely!

After returning home, I bought some noodles and eggs. I quickly steamed an egg custard, picked up the child, fed him, washed him, and took him to daycare.

I wiped myself down inside and out when I got back, washed my clothes, lay on the bed and dozed off again. I didn't eat lunch. In the afternoon, I picked up the child early, fed him meat, vegetables and steamed buns, and then took him to Aunt Zhao's house before rushing off to work.
