Chapter 218 These are the good days!
While Yao Shula and Xiao Tiantian were outside trying to persuade Qiangqiang, the family inside began discussing Yao Chunian's situation.
"This marriage... must end," Yao Chunian said through gritted teeth.
Grandma Yao didn't say anything, she just glanced at the people in the room.
Everyone was a little surprised; it seemed that Yao Chunian was determined not to stay with Zhang Tiesheng.
"Shouldn't we think about this matter again?" Uncle Yao whispered his thoughts.
Although there are divorced people these days, it's still not a good thing to have a divorced daughter in the family. If people ask you about it when you go out to play chess or cards, it won't sound good.
"Shut up!" Grandma Yao and Aunt Yao both looked at Uncle Yao.
Uncle Yao, who rarely spoke, immediately shut up and shrank back into the corner.
No one dared to speak; they just stared at Grandma Yao and Yao Chunian.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Grandma Yao looked at Yao Shula sitting next to her.
"Shura, what do you think about this?"
Yao Shula...
Ask her what she thinks? She's never been married, not in either of her lives!
According to her, she would definitely be comfortable living alone. She earns enough money, raises only one son, and doesn't have many worries. When she gets old, she can go square dancing and dance with whichever old man she wants. Maybe she can even get a couple of big gold bracelets...
"Um... this mainly depends on what Sister Chun Nian thinks."
Actually, if Sister Chun Nian had gone out on her own, it might have been a little tough at first, but her life would definitely have been more comfortable afterward!
"Sister Chunian is hardworking, her stall does well, and she earns a lot. She'll definitely have a good life," Yao Shula whispered.
Seeing Yao Shula's support, Yao Chunian felt even more confident.
"That's right! Grandma, Dad, Mom, I'm sure I can make a living."
Look at Shura, she's doing just fine raising her younger siblings, isn't she?
I can do it too. I have skills and I'm capable. I can do any kind of work. I earn a lot, which is more than enough to support Qiangqiang.
I believe I can definitely make a good life for myself.
To be honest, I feel that without that family, I'm actually living a more comfortable life!
I can spend all the money I earn on myself and Qiangqiang. But if I live with that other family, I'm always on edge.
They worry that their earnings will be taken by others, and they also have to listen to those people's sarcastic remarks.
"Grandma, Dad, Mom, I've had enough of that kind of life. I want to relax a bit," Yao Chunian said seriously.
After Yao Chunian said that, everyone knew that there was basically no room for discussion.
Only then did Grandma Yao speak.
"Now that we've decided to take this path, let's discuss how to take it."
First of all, there's the issue of strength, Chun Nian..." Grandma Yao looked at Yao Chun Nian.
"Grandma, I need Qiangqiang, and Qiangqiang must stay with me. I don't feel comfortable leaving him with Old Zhang's family!" Yao Chunian said firmly.
Grandma Yao nodded.
"Okay, that's good. You said you wanted Qiangqiang, so we'll help you get Qiangqiang. Don't worry, your mom and I will help you."
"Besides Qiangqiang, you'll have to walk your own path from here on out. Chun Nian, what are your plans?" Grandma Yao continued to ask.
Yao Chunian immediately expressed his meaning.
"I know that my grandma, my parents, my brother and sister-in-law all love me!"
But I will definitely have to walk my own path from now on. I can't always rely on my family. My family is my support, but I can't always rely on them.
Grandma, I've made up my mind. I'll rent a place to live on my own and run my business while raising Qiangqiang.
Actually, I still have some savings, enough to cover rent and other expenses.
Well... sometimes when I'm too busy, I'll probably have to ask my mom and grandma to help me look after Qiangqiang. I'll definitely give them living expenses.
"I'll definitely find a place and move out in ten days at most," Yao Chunian said seriously.
When Yao Chunian put it this way, Yao's eldest aunt immediately became anxious.
"What are you saying? You're my daughter, don't go out and rent a place, just stay at home..."
"Mom! Please believe me, okay? I can make the business successful and we can definitely make a living together."
"If I keep relying on you all, what's the difference between now and before? If you care about me, just keep an eye on Qiangqiang for me when I'm busy," Yao Chunian insisted.
Grandma Yao nodded in agreement.
"Okay! We'll do whatever we arrange for the Spring Festival."
As for Qiangqiang... Chunian, you can let Qiangqiang stay here. I'm getting old and I'm home every day, so I can help you look after him.
You are my granddaughter, so it's only natural for me to lend a hand.
"As for moving out... no rush. You'll sleep with me for the next couple of days, and Qiangqiang will sleep with your parents," Grandma Yao said immediately.
"Grandma, I'll give you thirty yuan a month as living expenses for Qiangqiang," Yao Chunian said hurriedly.
Grandma Yao didn't say anything.
Upon hearing this, other members of Lao Yao's family also quickly offered their opinions.
"Don't overwork yourself this spring. If there's anything we can do to help, please let us know," the older sister-in-law quickly said.
"Yes, if you need help, just tell us. Whether it's money or effort, we'll always be there to lend a hand," the second sister-in-law said.
“Don’t worry about food, I run a restaurant!” Zhong Xiaochun said hurriedly.
“Yes, big sister, it’s not a big deal. If the Zhang family tries to take Qiangqiang from you, we’ll sue them. My uncle works in the court. I’ll go back and talk to him.” Wang Zhihua quickly added.
Yao Chunian nodded and proceeded with the order one by one.
...
Then everyone discussed some other issues inside the house.
When they all came out of Grandma Yao's house, Qiangqiang, who had completely figured things out, immediately threw himself into Yao Chunian's arms.
"Mom, you and Dad should get a divorce! I'll stay with you, I'll only stay with you! We don't want Dad anymore, he doesn't care about us."
Yao Chunian's tears immediately fell.
Yao Shula immediately looked at Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian.
Both of them were looking up, eager for praise.
Look how well we've completed the task you assigned us.
Yao Shula also knew that with Xiao Tiantian and Yao Shuli around, Qiangqiang must now think that only by following his mother can he live a life where he can eat meat every day and not be beaten or scolded.
Yao Shula quietly gave the two little ones a thumbs up.
The two of them happily raised their heads even higher.
Yao Shula felt that if you attached a tail to the two of them, they could sweep the floor spotless even if they just sat there without moving...
On the way home from the Yao family's old house, Yao Shula held one of her younger brothers' hands in each hand.
The weather outside has cooled down quite a bit. Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian were talking about how they hadn't had time to eat the popcorn at home yet, and that they would definitely eat more when they got back.
Yao Shula looked at a vine in the small park in front of the county government building. The leaves on the vine had all fallen, and a few sparrows were chirping on the vine.
Seeing this scene, Yao Shula suddenly thought of a phrase.
"Withered vines, old trees, and crows at dusk!"
“The old man is holding the old woman’s hand!” Xiao Tiantian blurted out.
Yao Shula then noticed an elderly couple walking hand in hand ahead...
"An ancient road, a west wind, and a lean horse!" Yao Shula continued, wanting to hear what other words Xiao Tiantian had.
"Big sister, let's go home!" Little Tiantian said happily.
Yao Shula...
Yes, let's go home!
