Xia Ruzheng was originally listening to his sister nagging about how her father had a bad life buying groceries and taking his grandson out for a walk every day, but he didn't expect the topic to change so quickly.
"What's wrong? Is there such a thing?"
"Hey! You don't know because you're not at home! Many people want to divorce their current wives and marry a new one because they don't have a son and don't want to pay the fine for having a second child!"
This is ridiculous! Someone wants such a heartless man?!
But thinking about how Xu Xianhua still liked Huang Zhong, she felt that nothing in the world is absolute, so she asked, "What about Juan'er? How is she now?"
In the past, Xia Juaner had a close relationship with the two sisters. Whenever they were misunderstood or scolded by others, Xia Juaner would always stand by them. It was a very pure friendship.
Xia Ruqian was also filled with righteous indignation: "Of course life is not easy! My parents won't take me in, my husband's family wants to divorce me, and she has a child with her. How can it be any better?"
Xia Ruzheng also knew the difficulties faced by rural wives. It was not like what happened in later generations where women could divorce whenever they wanted and still have a way out. In the countryside, if a woman left her husband's family and her parents didn't accept her, where would she get the income and how would she make a living?
So Xia Juan'er must be struggling at this time, desperate and helpless, just like herself at the beginning. She didn't want to get divorced, but Huang Zhong treated her like a piece of trash. In order to survive, she had to grit her teeth and endure the torture.
Thinking of this, Xia Ruzheng felt extremely sympathetic towards Xia Juaner.
"Qianqian, if you go back, find time to tell Juan'er that if she gets divorced, she can come to Guangzhou. Although I won't make a lot of money here, I can still support them and their daughter."
Xia Ruqian's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she said, "Sister, I feel much more at ease with what you said. I'm not busy these two days during the National Day holiday, so I'll find a chance to go back."
Xia Ruzheng knew that Xia Ruqian was also a chivalrous person, so he agreed.
She had no memory of those people's past fates. She didn't even know how many children her sister had given birth to, let alone a friend like this. But it didn't prevent Xia Ruzheng from repaying Xia Juaner.
No matter what others say, today's society is really unfair to women!
In the scorching heat of July, Xia Ruqian said happily, "Juan'er was persuaded by me! She got divorced! She came out with her daughter! She's here, I asked her to talk to you."
Xia Juan'er had only heard of the telephone, but had never seen it, let alone touched it. Now, holding the phone, she felt as if she was holding a rare treasure, and she held it very carefully.
"Hello?"
Xia Ruzheng felt his blood rushing faster. Xia Juan'er's voice sounded so old? She was only two years older than him!
"Juan'er..."
"Zhengzheng, this phone call is really amazing!"
Xia Ruzheng didn't expect that people would actually focus on this. He was at a loss for words and said, "The phone is for talking to people you can't see! How are you and Ni'er doing?"
Because Ni'er was a girl, the Zhou family didn't even bother to give her a name.
"We're... okay." Xia Ruzheng clearly heard Xia Juan'er choking up. "If Qianqian hadn't told me that your place was willing to take me in, I would still be dragging it out! I'm so relieved to be divorced."
Xia Ruzheng couldn't help but tear up as he said, "What do you mean by taking you in? I'm asking you to be my helper! You come and work for me, and I'll pay you! If you don't have money, borrow some from Qianqian and buy a ticket to Guangzhou. Call me before you come and tell me when you'll arrive. I'll pick you up when you get there."
"Okay, Qianqian said the same thing, and she also said she would help me queue up during National Day!"
Now the mother and daughter sleep in the living room of Xia Ruqian's house. Although it is a rented house, Xia Ruqian has decorated it very carefully. Seeing the happy family, Xia Juaner is extremely envious. But when she thinks that Liu Binbin is a boy, she can understand it.
However, her daughter is now obviously not as timid as before. There is a smile on her face and she is dressed neatly. Xia Juaner feels that her decision was right.
"Yeah, so you listen to Qianqian's arrangements over there, and I'll make arrangements for you here. When you come to work, Ni'er will also go to school. Have you chosen a name?"
Speaking of school, this is also a heartache for Xia Juaner. Because Ni'er is a girl, the Zhou family thinks it is a waste of money for girls to go to school. So Ni'er, a child of seven or eight years old, has never been to school! Every time Xia Juaner sees her daughter looking at those children with schoolbags with envy, her heart aches.
"I haven't thought of a name yet! I'm in such a hurry. But I'm afraid school matters will be quite troublesome, right?"
Xia Juaner also knew how big a fuss Xia Ruqian made about her son's education.
"It's okay. My family has some connections here, so it's not particularly difficult."
The two chatted on the phone for quite a while before hanging up.
Wen Zhichao had no objection to Xia Juaner and her daughter coming. He just let his wife take care of these things!
Because Xia Ruzheng was worried about the mother and daughter living outside, he thought of moving his daughter into his own room, putting a small bed in it, and freeing up his daughter's room for the mother and daughter to live in. He would make plans after the big house was completed. Maybe Xia Juaner would have her own ideas by then.
Of course, Xia Ruzheng had a thorough discussion with his daughter before vacating the room, and only began working on the matter after she understood. Even a child, no matter how young, is an independent individual with their own wishes, and Xia Ruzheng didn't want to become estranged from his daughter.
At the beginning of August, Xia Juaner came with her daughter.
As soon as he saw the dark and thin Xia Juan'er, Xia Ruzheng felt extremely emotional. At this time, Xia Juan'er had long lost the youthful figure of her youth. She had completely become a village woman, a village woman who constantly provided energy for her children, husband and family. Her hair was dry and yellow, her cheeks were thin, and her arms were also thin. If you didn't look carefully, you would think she was an old woman in her forties or fifties.
