Chapter 368
Liang Nan was watching her at the door of the room, guarding against her like a thief, to prevent her from taking any more needles and thread from the Liang family.
Cui Li only packed a few pieces of clothing for herself and her brother. Her and her brother's belongings could all be put into a small bag.
Cui Li suddenly felt ridiculous.
When she first married into the Liang family, she only had these few things. Now that she is leaving, she still has these few things.
In the past few years, she worked like a slave for the Liang family and gave birth to Laibao, but she did not get anything from the Liang family.
In an instant, Cui Li felt relieved again.
This is also good, she can leave this place without any regrets.
But Liang Nan was always watching at the door of the room, so she couldn't find a chance to whisper to Lai Bao.
Laibao was still crying. Cui Li took his hand and said to Liang Nan, "Let Laibao take me outside."
Liang Nan snorted coldly and said nothing, which was considered as his tacit consent.
Cui Li walked out of the house holding Laibao in one hand and Huandi in the other.
Only then did she realize that Zhong Lan was also arguing with Yao Hong and Yao's father.
The content of the quarrel was nothing more than the same as in their family. They scolded her for daring to engage in speculation and profiteering, and scolded her for not being afraid of implicating her family, and causing Yao Hong and Yao's father to lose their jobs.
The quarrel in the Zhong family was so loud that it attracted many people in the compound to watch.
Seeing Cui Li coming out with the package on her back and Laibao and Huandi by the hand, those who had heard the Liang family quarreling before all looked at Cui Li and whispered to each other.
"Then let's get a divorce!" Zhong Lan's voice rang out from the Yao family. "Do you think I want to live with you? Your sister is a murderer, and your mother is like this. You don't want to take care of your mother, but all you want is for me to take care of her and take good care of your family. I couldn't stand this any longer! I deliberately engaged in speculation and profiteering, deliberately wanting to cause you to lose your jobs and make life impossible for you all!"
From the Yao family came the sounds of fighting and Yao Zaoer's cries: "Stop fighting—stop fighting—wuwuwu—"
The people watching outside were both terrified and curious.
Cui Li glanced at Liang Nan and Liang's father.
Seeing that Liang Nan and Liang's father were also paying attention to the Yao family, with expressions of disapproval and disgust on their faces, she quickly squatted down, leaned over to Lai Bao's ear, and quickly told Lai Bao twice what she had just wanted to tell him.
After saying that, Cui Li looked at Lai Bao and asked him silently: Do you remember?
Laibao nodded with tears in his eyes.
Cui Li smiled and touched his head lovingly.
At the Yao family's side, Zhong Lan, with disheveled hair, was dragged out by Yao Hong and Yao's father, dragging Yao Zaoer along.
"Get out! Both of you get out and never come back!" Yao Hong roared.
"With all the mess in your family, do you think I want to stay here?" Zhong Lan scolded Yao Hong.
She had injuries on her face, but Yao Hong's face wasn't much better either.
"Let's go to the marriage registration office to get a divorce tomorrow morning!" Yao Hong was so angry that he jumped up and down.
"Okay, whoever doesn't go is a bastard!" said Zhong Lan.
Yao Hong was so angry that he picked up a chair at home and threw it at Zhong Lan.
Zhong Lan pulled Yao Zaoer away.
Turning around, Zhong Lan grinned when she saw Cui Li.
Cui Li also laughed.
Aunt Qian asked them, "Are you two really engaging in speculation and profiteering?"
"No, auntie, we are doing a legitimate business. We sell the mung bean cakes and mung bean paste we make ourselves." Zhong Lan said.
Aunt Yue curled her lips and said, "Isn't this just speculation? If we report this, it will be confirmed. You, the Yao family, and the Liang family will all be finished."
"Then you should report it right away and see if we are in trouble with the Yao and Liang families." Cui Li said.
Hearing Cui Li's words, Liang's father and Yao Hong were angry and scared, and they drove Cui Li and Zhong Lan away.
"Get out! All of you! Go get a divorce certificate tomorrow!"
Zhong Lan and Cui Li smiled at each other, then ran away hand in hand.
Liang Nan held Laibao back, preventing him from chasing Cui Li. Laibao could only watch Cui Li running away with tears streaming down his face.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li ran hand in hand for a long way before they stopped.
Looking behind them, they saw no one catching up with them. They looked at each other and laughed heartily.
For the first time, the two of them felt so relaxed and free both physically and mentally.
"It's finally over," Zhong Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yes, I'm finally free." Cui Li looked at the moon that was gradually getting brighter in the night sky.
"Where is Laibao? Liang Nan doesn't let you take him away?" Zhong Lan noticed that Laibao was not there and asked.
"Yeah." Cui Li nodded.
"What should we do?" Zhong Lan frowned. "Laibao won't have a good life if he follows Liang Nan. He will be led astray sooner or later."
"It's okay," Cui Li said with a smile, "I taught Laibao a few tricks. He should be able to come to me soon."
Seeing that Cui Li wasn't worried about this, Zhong Lan also smiled: "Yeah."
The news of Zhong Lan and Cui Li's divorce quickly spread throughout the compound.
The next morning, when Ye Fuyue went to the small western-style building to see Zhong Lan and Cui Li, they were both in high spirits.
"Have you got the divorce certificate?" Ye Fuyue asked them with a smile.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li both waved their divorce certificates at Ye Fuyue. Although it was just a thin piece of paper, it was a symbol of their freedom.
"I was worried that Yao Hong would play some tricks and not divorce me again. Fortunately, he is eager to divorce me, fearing that I will drag him down." Zhong Lan said with a smile.
"Me too," Cui Li said. "I was worried something might go wrong, but thankfully, everything went smoothly. Liang Nan even laughed at me, saying that speculation wouldn't get you far and I had no family to return to. He said I'd regret it sooner or later and wouldn't be able to make it. I didn't want to pay any attention to him."
Ye Fuyue smiled and said to them, "Congratulations on escaping the sea of suffering and regaining your freedom. Now you don't have men holding you back. Plus, with the weather getting colder, mung bean cakes and mung bean paste will become increasingly difficult to sell. We can consider selling some other snacks."
Zhong Lan and Cui Li both nodded, knowing that Ye Fuyue probably had an idea after saying this, so they waited for Ye Fuyue's next words.
"What I was thinking about was whether we should make some buns to sell."
"The buns are pretty good." Zhong Lan and Cui Li both said so.
Ye Fuyue continued, "We won't make too much. Just three kinds of fillings: meat and two vegetarian. In the morning, we can go to the gates of major factories and sell them to workers who are in a hurry to get to work but haven't eaten. Business should be good. After we sell out in front of the factories, we can go door to door selling them. At the end of the day, we should be able to sell quite a lot. We might even make more money than selling mung bean cakes and mung bean paste."
Zhong Lan and Cui Li were both excited when they heard this: "Let's sell buns!"
"Now we don't have to worry about men, we can go out and sell early in the morning!" Zhong Lan said.
Cui Li nodded in agreement.
"What kind of vegetarian buns do you think is better to sell?" Ye Fuyue asked.
"How about tofu and carrot fillings?" Cui Li asked.
