"Or are you unable to accept the current situation? You don't know how to face me, nor do you know how to face the future where you have to start all over again?"

Sun Miao didn't give Lin Jun any face at all, and the knife in his words stabbed directly into Lin Jun's heart...

"Admit it, I had nothing to do with this whole thing. It's you who had to act so righteous and put it on me."

"You're afraid of your acquaintances seeing you running a business, afraid they'll look down on you and laugh at you for losing your job... You're afraid of being embarrassed but can't tell anyone."

"They can only pull up a fig leaf to put the blame on me for their decadence, as if they tortured themselves into this state just because they wanted to leave me."

"I took the blame and I'm trying to move you into thinking about me." Sun Miao sneered.

"So, if I just get carried away and feel sorry for you, I won't divorce you."

"So from now on, I have to coax you, flatter you, and take care of your mood at home. I can't easily bring up work and embarrass you."

"Lin Jun, wake up, stop thinking about me, and reflect on yourself first."

"It's you who's not careful at work. You're not able to handle unemployment and you still want to save face."

"If we didn't divorce, I would be the one taking care of all the housework and covering all the expenses. But because of what you did, I still have to indulge you?"

It’s a nice thought.

"Are you kidding me? Do you think I'm stupid?"

These words can be said to be eye-opening.

Every word and sentence hit Lin Jun's head accurately, and also broke his heart that was determined to escape.

Sun Miao rode on the tricycle. The setting sun stretched her figure out into the distance. She tilted her head and looked at Lin Jun. "If you can't learn to face reality, then we really should get divorced."

"Even if we get divorced, I will still do what I have to do. Lin Jun, take a good look at who I am, Sun Miao."

"Don't look down on me."

"Stop saying you're doing this for my own good." She tapped the handlebars. "I don't need you to think about me like that. In my opinion, I'm much stronger than you, and I'm much less afraid of other people's opinions than you."

"Even when it comes to enduring hardships, I'm more prepared than you, both physically and mentally."

At least she wouldn't do business in a sneaky way, wanting to make money but feeling ashamed at the same time, living in a muddle.

Su Lixuan: "What happened next?"

Li Yanhong's home.

Li Yanhong and Su Lixuan were listening to Duan Qinya passionately talking about how her daughter Sun Miao held her breath to become a self-employed person and how she disciplined her husband.

Duan Qinya raised her chin high, her face full of pride: "Later, our Miaomiao rode a tricycle back home."

"After scolding Junzi, you have to run away quickly."

Li Yanhong clicked her tongue and said, "You're exaggerating. What do you mean by running away after scolding someone? Junzi won't hit Xiao Miao."

Duan Qinya ignored her and continued with her chin raised: "Anyway, Miaomiao said those words and rode away on her bike."

"Speaking of Miaomiao, she has always had one strength, and that is always keeping her word."

"Once she decided to sell clothes, she would open her stall regardless of weather, as long as she received goods."

"I don't know if Junzi was sobered by her scolding, but every time Miaomiao sets up a stall, he goes to help out, shamelessly."

"Later, he took the opportunity to send Miaomiao home to talk to me for a while."

Li Yanhong: "What did I tell you?"

The eldest son is living like a ghost now. He doesn’t even talk to family members like them at home. What can he say to Duan Qinya?

Su Lixuan speculated and asked, "Big brother wants Aunt Duan to persuade Big Sister-in-law to stop her from selling clothes in the wind and rain?"

"That's right!" Duan Qinya rewarded Su Lixuan with three peanuts and praised her, "Lixuan is really smart!"

"Unlike some old ladies who are stupid."

Li Yanhong: “…”

It seems that the war between the plastic sisters is about to break out again.

Su Lixuan quickly tried to smooth things over: "What did you say, Aunt Duan? Did you agree to it, big brother?"

Duan Qinya's attention was immediately drawn away. When she heard Su Lixuan's question, she immediately shook her head: "I dare not agree to this. My daughter is like a tigress when she gets angry."

"Let her do whatever she wants. I dare not offend her."

Her daughter was already being competitive, and now she was dragging her feet and trying to persuade her to stop under the pretext of doing it for her daughter's own good.

Isn't that equivalent to the daughter admonishing her more the more she doesn't like to hear it?

Duan Qinya: "I didn't agree to him, but I told him what Miaomiao said to me in private."

"Miaomiao said that Junzi was loyal and righteous, and would not abandon Chen Zhi for personal gain when she was pursued by him."

"She won't be any worse off. She won't run away when disaster strikes."

"But Junzi thought too much of her and it wasn't worth it."

"Especially since Junzi made the decision to break up for her without even telling her the truth, this is a big hurdle for Miaomiao."

Li Yanhong smacked her lips: "Have you told Junzi all this?"

Duan Qinya: "Yes, I told Junzi everything, just wanting him to reflect on himself."

"To be honest with you, I was actually on Junzi's side at the beginning."

"I think he has his reasons. Although what he did was irritating, it was ultimately for Miaomiao's own good. As his mother-in-law, I can't find any fault with him."

"But after Miaomiao told me her thoughts, I felt that it made sense."

"And the more I think about it, the more I feel that Miaomiao is right."

"I'm not speaking on my daughter's side, I sincerely believe this. If you look at it from another angle, Miaomiao is actually right."

"Why does Junzi make decisions for Miaomiao without even asking? He is doing this for Miaomiao's own good, but has he ever considered whether Miaomiao wants this kind of good?"
