The news of Han Ye and Zhou Weihong's divorce eventually spread.
Han Ye was scolded by his father, who declared that he would only recognize Zhou Weihong as his daughter-in-law from now on.
Zhou Weihong's parents were quite surprised, but they didn't cry or wail; they accepted it quickly. This might be related to some rumors they had heard beforehand.
Ultimately, parents care more about their children than about saving face.
Han Ye's case has served as a wake-up call for many women.
"Bonnie, I feel much better now. I don't have to think about where Han Ye is or why he didn't come home. I don't feel disgusted or upset anymore."
"That's great. The sun rises every day. As long as you feel comfortable, nothing else matters."
"Your parents accepted it and didn't try to persuade you to remarry?"
"No, they may have heard some things about Han Ye before, but they didn't want to believe it and were afraid of upsetting me, so they kept avoiding the topic."
Now that everything has settled, they've actually breathed a sigh of relief. I also shared my thoughts and attitude, and they surprisingly accepted it well. Although divorce has a bad reputation, reputation isn't as important as their daughter.
Zhou Weihong looked at Bao Ni with a big smile; she had really let go.
"Congratulations! You're able to let go and move on, and you're not making things difficult for yourself!"
Bonnie truly admires Wei Hong. Not to mention the 1980s when the divorce rate was low, even decades later, in an era where divorce is commonplace, many people are unable to let go gracefully for various reasons.
Some people may get divorced, but their hearts are still not truly free.
"Bonnie, I've cried, I've cursed, and I've even thought about ending it all. How could he change his mind about our relationship of so many years? I just don't understand."
Especially during that period, some children didn't know the truth and thought I was paranoid, which made me feel like I wanted to die.
The knife really hurt when it cut my skin; I regretted it. Who is Han Ye? Is he worth my life? I have parents in their seventies; what will happen to them?
Haha... Luckily, I'm afraid of pain, so I went easy on you. I only scratched the skin a little and it bled slightly.
Bonnie stood up and gave Wei Hong a tight hug.
"It's all in the past. Three-legged toads are hard to find in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged people."
"I'm not looking anymore, at least not for the next few years. Bonnie, I want to live a carefree life too. The kids are finally all grown up, and I can finally enjoy life."
My job isn't tiring. After work, if I don't feel like cooking, I can go out to eat. When I'm resting, I can sleep as late as I want. In my free time, I can tend to my plants, go shopping, and listen to gossip. Why should I let myself be trapped?
At my age, the men I look for are either divorced with children or divorced with grandchildren. Am I crazy to become someone's nanny?
Bonnie thought about it and agreed. Wei Hong was only in her early forties, and what man of her age wouldn't have some burdens?
The two women enjoyed tea and snacks, exchanging recent gossip. Lately, Wei Hong hadn't been in the mood for much chatter, while Bao Ni had spent a lot of time exchanging information with her sister-in-law.
Wei Hong was relieved, and Bao Ni was happy too. She didn't have many friends to begin with, and she didn't want anything to go wrong.
In August, Mu Nanfang's study abroad schedule was finalized; he was about to travel to the other side of the ocean to study.
"Liu Jiu, I might not be back for two or three years after I leave. Will you miss me?"
"I'll miss you. When you come back, we can get our marriage certificate. Study hard, be careful, and resist temptations. Don't think the grass is greener on the other side!"
"Fool, my parents are here, and you're here, how could I not come back? I know who I am, don't worry, I'll definitely protect myself."
Mu Nanfang really wanted to ask Liu Jiu to finalize the marriage before he left.
"That's good. I've heard that relationships between men and women are very open abroad. You need to keep your chastity in check and not do anything that could result in having a child with someone else!"
Liu Jiu blushed, a rare occurrence for her. Her husband, San Qi, had given her a lot of information about male-female relationships abroad yesterday, which made her face burn with embarrassment.
"I wouldn't. Did Sanqi tell you some nonsense again? Doesn't your aunt keep an eye on him? He's so young, how does he know everything?"
"Yes, Sanqi knows quite a lot. He said he knows everything he needs to know, so he's no longer curious."
Liu Jiu couldn't understand her younger brother either. Sometimes he was as mature as an old man, and other times he was incredibly childish. He still had a special fondness for aloe vera and would apply it to his face from time to time.
"Sanqi is right about this. Many high school students are dating nowadays just out of curiosity, out of curiosity about things between men and women, which wastes their precious youth."
Mu Nanfang had forgotten how old he was when he fell for Liu Jiu, and how old Liu Jiu was!
"Liu Jiu, what do you think? Before I leave, should we get engaged?"
"Engagement? No, too much trouble. We'll just get our marriage certificate when you get back. I think a simple wedding would be best, preferably a group wedding at your workplace—it's convenient and meaningful. If you're thinking of giving each other security through engagement, I don't think it's necessary. If someone's mindset changes, an engagement can't change anything. Married couples can get divorced, so what's the point of an engagement?"
Mu Nanfang felt that Liu Jiu was very clear-headed at this moment. She always knew what she wanted and wouldn't waver easily. However, once she sensed something was wrong, she wouldn't hesitate and would leave decisively!
"I understand. I will protect myself and my body and mind, and I won't give you a chance to leave. Don't pay any attention to those trees either."
