Yu Caiping sobbed twice, as if she had been trying to hold it back, but finally she couldn't help crying and cried until she was out of breath.

The two mothers pulled her back to the chair and sat her down, surrounding her.

Woman sympathized with woman, and they said nothing but held handkerchiefs to wipe away her tears.

Yu Caiping's grievance and anger seemed to burst out all at once. She cried and said, "He said everything was fine before we got married, but he became a different person after we got married. He forced me to have a baby and even had to go for an ultrasound after I got pregnant. I got uterine prolapse because I didn't take good care of myself after the miscarriage."

"After taking my job, he became even more outrageous. He doesn't even treat me as a human being." Yu Caiping cried so hard that she couldn't catch her breath.

Several people were silent and just listened quietly.

After saying this, Yu Caiping added, "Why did I quarrel with him just now? Actually, it was because of my daughter. My daughter was sent away when she was two and a half years old. I secretly ran out to inquire about the family and wanted to bring my daughter back, but he refused. He said that now there is family planning, and he would not give birth to a second child after having a daughter."

"Before I came out this time, I secretly went to see my daughter, and she broke her leg." When Yu Caiping said this, she was heartbroken.

My daughter broke her leg, but the family refused to take good medical treatment for her. Now she walks with a limp.

The daughter ran over and cried to tell her that her legs hurt a lot and it was excruciatingly painful when she walked. Yu Caiping wanted to use the money to pay for the child's medical treatment, but her husband refused, saying that a child who was given away belonged to someone else and that he wanted to use the money to see a doctor for her prolapsed uterus.

The couple just had an argument because of this.

Yu Caiping said: "My child told me that he couldn't sleep at night because of the pain. I hated him so much at that time. I hated myself and him, and I hated myself for not having eyes to find such a person."

She cried and said, "I can't live like this any longer, but I don't know what to do."

"What do women in your place usually do when they can't make ends meet?" Lin Minjun said.

Yu Caiping: "Run, run far away, don't contact anyone, but I can't bear to leave my daughter. If I want to take her away, they will definitely not let me. I can't take her away alone."

Lin Minjun suddenly said, "Then get a divorce, divorce him."

Yu Caiping was stunned.

Before she could say anything, Aunt Cao said disapprovingly, "Xiao Lin... As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to break up a marriage. How could you..."

She quietly came over and told Lin Minjun, "Don't ask someone to divorce without permission. You will have to bear the consequences of this."

"Is there any point in continuing this marriage? Mom, I'm different from others. Others like to persuade couples to reconcile, but I like to persuade couples to divorce. If you really can't live together anymore, then just get a divorce." Lin Minjun retorted.

Perhaps because she had suffered a lot herself, she couldn't bear to see others suffer the same way.

Lin Minjun asked, "If this is karma, then I saw her suffering but turned a blind eye, and later she was beaten to death or bullied to death by her husband, would I also be held responsible for the consequences?"

"Her daughter is asking for help. If you hear this and still try to smooth things over, then that's not cause and effect, is it?"

Aunt Xu also came out to help, "Xiao Yu, I'm not lying to you. I'm a widow. My husband used to be violent when he was drunk. Since he died, I've finally lived a peaceful life. There's nothing wrong with divorce. You can live a good life if you get divorced. The key is that your daughter can live a good life. Think about it yourself, isn't this the truth?"

When Aunt Cao heard this, she thought of her old father, Uncle Cao, and became speechless.

She sighed, "What a sin."

When a man commits sin, he harms his wife and children.

Aunt Cao stopped trying to persuade her and just asked Yu Caiping, "Xiao Yu, what do you think? Do you want a divorce?"

"Divorce..." Yu Caiping had never thought about this. Firstly, there were no examples of divorce in small places. She didn't even know how to get a divorce and couldn't find a way.

The second is the most realistic problem. She has no job and no income. Where can she go if she really leaves her husband? Does she have to beg on the street with her daughter?

"After my divorce, I had nowhere to go, so I had to beg for food with my children," Yu Caiping told the truth.

"Where is your mother's family?"

Yu Caiping smiled bitterly, "My father passed away, and my mother remarried, so I don't have a mother's home anymore."

Aunt Xu suggested, "Go find a job. You have hands, feet, and skills. You can make a living anywhere. Haven't you heard the saying that a skilled worker will never die of hunger in a famine?"

"There aren't many jobs in our small town, and the state-owned hotels won't hire me."

Lin Minjun listened for a long time without saying anything, and finally spoke up at this time, "You can stay in the capital. I'm still short of people here, and I'm still short of a master chef. I just saw your craftsmanship. If you're willing to stay, I'll pay you the same as other master chefs, and I'll provide food and accommodation."

Even here Lin Minjun is taking advantage. The masters with real skills would have already gone out to work on their own.

Lin Minjun pointed to the back and said, "There are several bungalows in the back. You must have seen them just now. One is a warehouse and the other is empty. You can live in it. I can help you settle down. You can bring your daughter over to work and see a doctor."

Yu Caiping was stunned by what she heard.

Lin Minjun said, "You work in the capital, earn your own money, buy whatever you want, do whatever you want, no one else can take your job, even if you don't work for me in the future, you can start a small business to make a living."

"You live in a small courtyard of a restaurant. If you want to socialize, go out and have fun. If you don't want to socialize, just close the door and live your own life. You can also have children. The opportunities in small cities and big cities are different. It depends on your choice."

After hearing what Lin Minjun said, Yu Caiping couldn't help but start fantasizing about her life after divorce.

In fact, there is one thing she is very clear about: only by getting divorced can she and her daughter have a chance to survive.

She felt that her spirit was about to collapse before coming to the capital.

But for Yu Caiping, it was not easy for her to decide to move to another place and make such a big decision as divorce.

So she didn't give an answer at this time. Instead, she looked outside and was suddenly awakened.

She stood up and said, "It's getting so dark, I have to go back."

The restaurant also had to be closed. Several people worked together to finish the work and then locked the door of the restaurant.

Standing at the door of the restaurant, Lin Minjun and the two aunts watched Yu Caiping's back as she left.

Aunt Xu said, "Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. This is absolutely true."

"That's right. How could this man be so cruel? Why would he give his daughter away?" Aunt Cao didn't understand and sighed, "Xiao Yu's life is so miserable."

"It's not that she has a hard life, just look at how she lives." Lin Minjun said, and then said, "My brother is here, let's go back."

Yan Li was standing not far away.

When Lin Minjun went to night school before, he would pick her up and drop her off.

Now when Lin Minjun gets off work, she walks with the two aunts in the yard, and Yan Li still comes over when he has time.

The two mothers were walking in front and saw the young couple behind them walking hand in hand and winking at each other.

The next morning, Lin Minjun took Aunt Cao to the market to buy vegetables, and Aunt Xu came early to open the door and clean.

When Lin Minjun walked to the door of the restaurant, she saw Yu Caiping walking over.

Aunt Cao jumped off the tricycle and was shocked to see her appearance. "Xiao Yu, what happened to you? Why are you like this?"

Lin Minjun also came over to see, and after just one look she knew why Aunt Cao was yelling.

Although Yu Caiping was in a bad mood last night, she still looked good. At this moment, she stood in front of Lin Minjun, her face was pale from being frozen, a large patch of skin had formed on her lips, and she was shaking uncontrollably, as if she was going to faint at any moment.

She looked at Lin Minjun with a pale and weak face, "Comrade Xiaolin, I have thought about what you said last night. Can I come to work?"

"Put work aside for now and come in and have a rest." Lin Minjun pulled her into the restaurant and pressed her on a chair to rest.

Aunt Cao brought over a glass of water and called Aunt Xu out, and the two of them took dry towels to help Yu Caiping wipe her wet hair.

After all this trouble, Yu Caiping's complexion finally looked much better. After drinking a cup of hot tea, her face finally became rosy and no longer pale.

Aunt Xu thought of Yu Caiping, whom she had just seen, and couldn't help asking, "Xiao Yu, what happened to you just now? Did you get beaten when you went home last night?"

Yu Caiping shook her head. "I didn't get beaten, but——"

She began to tell what happened to her when she returned home last night.

After leaving the restaurant, she went back to the guesthouse she opened with her husband. But when she arrived at the door of the room, no matter how much she knocked, the door would not open.

The husband inside said, "You've really grown up. I don't know who you were fooling around with outside, and you just came back now. If you have the ability to fool around for the rest of your life, don't come in."

When Yu Caiping knocked on the door again, her husband said, "You still don't know where you went wrong, so stay outside and learn your lesson. Sleep at the door for me. I won't open the door today."

At that time, everyone in the guesthouse was asleep. Yu Caiping was embarrassed to wake others up, so she found a corner and stayed there all night.

It's not summer yet, but it's a cold snap. The temperature at night is freezing enough to make people shiver, so Yu Caiping's face looks so ugly.

After hearing this, the women were very angry.

Even Aunt Cao, who had always opposed divorce, changed her mind. She was so angry that she was shaking. "Does this person have any conscience? He locked you out in this weather. Isn't he afraid that you will get frozen? Isn't he afraid that you will run into bad people outside? Xiao Yu, what are you going to do now?"

"I want a divorce." Yu Caiping blurted out.

I had been holding these words in my stomach all night, and now I finally said them out loud.

Yu Caiping smiled bitterly after she finished speaking, "But he won't agree. The house he lives in now belongs to my family, and the company hasn't allocated any houses yet. If he divorces me, he'll have to find another place to live. I don't want to get divorced like this and let him take advantage."

"That's true." Aunt Xu also said, "He stole your job and now has a formal job. After divorcing you, he can easily find a younger woman. How can it be so easy?"

So several people sat together to discuss how to make Yu Caiping's husband agree to divorce and at the same time make him suffer a heavy loss.

Aunt Cao said, "He will definitely not agree to a normal divorce. I think how about this, Xiao Yu, you go back and bring your daughter here while he's not paying attention, then find a place to hide for a year or two, and then come out and ask for a divorce after he remarries. That way he won't bother you anymore."

"This idea won't work," Aunt Xu said directly. "If Xiaoyu hides away, everything in the house will belong to her husband, and she won't be able to get anything. Besides, if she hides away for a year or two, what will she eat and use?"

"Then tell me what to do. Think of a good idea." Aunt Cao glanced at her.

When they were young, they had different tempers and quarreled all the time. Now that they work together, their relationship has improved. Even if they occasionally quarrel or roll their eyes, they don't get angry with each other.

That being said, Aunt Xu didn't have any good ideas because she had never experienced a divorce, only the death of her husband.

In the end, it was Lin Minjun who made the final decision. She said, "I've thought of a way. You don't need your husband's consent. Just divorce him!"

Aunt Cao was full of doubt. "How can I agree to a divorce with a person who has no shame or dignity?"

Everyone thought it was impossible, so Lin Minjun said, "There's nothing we can do right now. Let's give it a try. Just in case it works."
