"Sis, are you really willing to give up your job?"
Lu Zhixia knew that many people nowadays rely on their secure jobs to make a living, and if they lost their jobs, they would have trouble even eating.
Su Lan works as a team leader in a textile factory. Although the work is tiring, she earns a decent income.
"What's there to give up? You know the business isn't doing well right now. Rather than being passive, we should take the initiative."
"What you said makes sense, but if you were to sell snacks with me, it wouldn't be any easier than your current job."
“As long as I can make money, I don’t mind being tired. I definitely can’t stay at home idle.” Su Lan held her hand. “You just said you were almost in danger. If you encounter something like that again in the future, can’t we take care of each other if we’re together?”
Lu Zhixia thought to herself, "That's right!"
If she has someone by her side, it won't be so easy for others to bully her.
"Sister Lan, talk to your brother tonight. If you think it's really feasible, then I'll take you along."
"Okay, I'll talk to him tonight."
Their hands were clasped tightly together, and at that moment, they envisioned the future.

Song Weidong returned home with his son, eager to see Chen Jianing; this woman was finally in his hands.
He heard from Sun Meihua that Chen Jianing and Guo Chen had divorced, and it had caused quite a stir; people in several streets knew about it.
When Song Yaozu returned to his room, he saw Guo Wan lying on his bed. There were many children's things on the floor, the table, and the bed itself.
He was unhappy because the room was his.
Chen Jianing noticed the child's unhappiness, so she quickly took out some money from her pocket.
"Yaozu, Auntie has two yuan for you to spend. You've been in the hospital these past few days, so you probably haven't been able to play with your friends. Take this money and go have some fun with them."
Upon seeing the money, Song Yaozu smiled, no longer so angry about his room being robbed.
Chen Jianing knew this little good-for-nothing was easy to fool, just like his mother, so she continued,
"Auntie will stay at your house for a few days, don't worry, she won't stay for long."
"Auntie, you can stay as long as you want. I'm not unhappy. Give me the money, and I'll spend it!"
Song Yaozu only wanted to meet those people and didn't notice the fleeting look of disgust in Chen Jianing's eyes.
In order to spend time alone with Chen Jianing, Song Weidong did not stop his son from leaving, but instead went into the house without any pretense of decency.
He closed the door behind him, and seeing the marks of swelling on the woman's beautiful face, he felt a pang of heartache. He sat down on the edge of the bed and held her hand.
“Ningning, my darling, it’s because I came back late. Otherwise, how could they have bullied you like that?”
"Brother Dong, I've really suffered a lot. It's all because of Lu Zhixia. She told Guo Chen about our affair."
"That bitch can't stand seeing others happy. I'll teach her a lesson one day and make her come back begging for mercy on her knees!"
Chen Jianing took a deep breath. This man's words were deceitful; now was not the time to confront him directly. So, she took his hand and slowly said...
“My brother’s fiancé lives at home, and it’s not convenient for me to go back now. I’ll move back to my parents’ house after their marriage is finalized.”
"You can stay here as long as you want. There are no outsiders between us, and you know how I feel."
Song Weidong pushed the person down and forced him into the trap.
Chen Jianing didn't expect him to do this. She didn't even have a chance to resist, and before long, they became lovers.
Sun Meihua was at the stove in the kitchen when she heard noises coming from inside the house. The bed was creaking. As someone who had been through this before, how could she not know what was going on?
"Shameless bastard! Doing it in broad daylight!"
He cursed under his breath, then continued working. He had no choice but to come here to earn money; as long as he could make a living, that was enough!

Cao Guifen slowly opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside. The sunlight was a little dazzling. She was unusually awake today.
Before, I didn't know that the nanny was giving me sleeping pills. I just felt that I was getting dizzy and drowsy every day, and I didn't know when I would wake up or fall asleep.
Later, she gradually realized that something was wrong with her body and refused to take the medicine anymore.
And then this would happen again after she ate, so now she's certain that the food had been drugged.
She threw off the covers and tried to struggle to get out of bed, only to find that her other leg, which she could move, had become immobile.
Her eyes widened, and she opened her mouth as if to call for her son, but could only make a "woo-woo" sound.
She suffered a complete stroke and her lower limbs were paralyzed, with no response whatsoever. Before, she was only partially disabled, but now she is completely useless.
Despair welled up inside me in an instant.
Sun Meihua pushed open the door and came in carrying a basin. Seeing that the old lady was awake, she kicked the door shut.
Then, carrying the basin, he came to the bedside and saw the old woman's eyes—a mixture of despair and anger.
“Don’t expect to tell your son that, given your current health condition, you would die in this house if I weren’t there to take care of you.”
"Do you know what your son is doing now? He's having an affair with that woman surnamed Chen!"
"They have no way of caring about you. If they wanted to, they would have done so long ago. Since I came here, how many times has your son come to see you?"
“You are a burden to him now, and he doesn’t want to see you at all.”
Cao Guifen was so angry that she felt like she was going to vomit blood. When had she ever been bullied like this?
Back then, she raised her son and daughter while living like a widow.
Finally, her son got a stable job and married a wife who was easy to control, and she had a grandson who she doted on.
