Chapter 12 Smart Jiang Qiqi
Chen Baomei grabbed his hand.
He glared at her, "How dare you hit a child?"
Jiang Tianming threw his hands away angrily.
Jiang Qiqi said slowly: "Dad, can't you just listen to me?"
"I asked you to persuade your mother not to divorce me, but you actually encouraged her to divorce me!"
Jiang Qiqi spread her hands and said, "I'm doing that for your own good."
"Other children just want their parents to get along, but you're actually encouraging them to get divorced."
And they say it's good for him, which is outrageous.
Chen Baomei said: "Harmony and happiness are a matter for two people, and cannot be achieved by one person compromising."
If he wants to live in harmony with He Meimei, he shouldn't do anything to let Chen Ru down.
Jiang Qiqi secretly rolled her eyes at her own father.
"If you don't divorce my mother, how are you going to marry Aunt Shu? You don't want to raise them outside and let my brother be a bastard forever, do you?"
Not only Chen Baomei was surprised, but even Jiang Tianming looked at his daughter in shock.
"Are you willing to acknowledge your brother?"
Jiang Qiqi asked in return, "He and I share the same blood, why can't I recognize him?"
"You've hurt my mother's heart. Your relationship isn't as good as it used to be. Why do you have to keep them together and hate each other? A broken mirror can't be mended. Even if the relationship is mended, there will still be cracks. My mother followed you when you were useless and had nothing. You were sincere back then, right? Just consider it an explanation to your past self and my mother. Wouldn't it be better to let her go? If you really can't bear to part with her, then give her more financial compensation."
"Don't be so petty, man. If you're so stingy with your wife who's been with you all your life, who would want to work with you in the future? We Jiang family members are supposed to be open and generous. A person with a conscience, whether in business or in life, can go further, right?"
Jiang Qiqi was considering her biological father while praising him.
These words made Jiang Tianming unable to help but reflect on whether he was too bad to Shen Ru?
Chen Baomei and Shen Xingguo were dumbfounded, but Jiang Tianming fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he said, "Let Dad think about it carefully."
After seeing Jiang Tianming and Jiang Qiqi off, Chen Baomei couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
If Qiqi had not experienced the tragedy of losing both her parents in her previous life, her achievements would definitely have reached a higher level.
That child is a smart and capable one. He has no parents holding him back in life, so his future is promising.
The next day, Jiang Tianming called and said he agreed to the divorce.
Not only that, Shen Ru did not suffer any loss in the distribution of property. Whether it was cash or real estate, Shen Ru accounted for two-thirds.
The marital property that Jiang Tianming had previously given to Shu Yunyun was also given to Shen Ru in addition.
Shen Ru received more than one million yuan in cash and two houses worth one and a half million yuan.
Since Jiang Tianming was so understanding, Chen Ru withdrew the lawsuit.
Qiqi said that after Shu Yunyun and Old Lady Jiang found out, they grabbed Jiang Tianming and made a fuss.
Shu Yunyun scratched Jiang Tianming's face so hard that he almost fought with her.
The old lady threw a tantrum and asked Jiang Tianming to return the money. Unfortunately, because of her previous affair, Jiang Tianming treated her differently and ignored her no matter how she made a fuss.
The woman at home was making a fuss and the child was crying, but Jiang Tianming was not tired of it and simply moved to the construction site.
"It seems that when wild flowers become domestic flowers, they are no longer as fragrant."
Chen Baomei was happy to know that the Jiang family was not living in peace.
She warned Jiang Qiqi, "Don't get close to your dad when he's angry, or he might take his anger out on you."
After all, she is a child, and Chen Baomei is afraid that she will not know her limits.
Jiang Qiqi smiled and said, "No, I got first place in the monthly exam, and he was so happy that he even took the initiative to ask to attend my parent-teacher conference. You can tell my mom that she doesn't have to come to this meeting."
"Okay, I'll tell her later."
Shen Ru had just moved into one of the houses she was allocated. She went out to buy things, and Chen Baomei helped her clean up the house.
"Tell her not to worry too much. My dad is willing to hold a parent-teacher conference for me, which is a good thing."
"I know your mother is not stupid. She will only be happy if your father treats you well."
He is her daughter's biological father, and the one who benefits is her daughter. She will not stop Jiang Tianming from being good to her daughter.
Shen Ru bought a lot of things and hired someone to deliver them back.
Because the kitchen was not yet lit, the mother and daughter went out to have a meal after cleaning up.
At night, mother and daughter shared a bed.
After getting divorced like this, Shen Ru felt unreal, empty and confused.
She stared wide-eyed and couldn't sleep, not knowing what to do next.
Chen Baomei suddenly said, "What do you want to do in the future? Do you have any ideas?"
"Did it wake you?"
Shen Ru apologized.
"You're not asleep. Are you thinking about what to do?"
"I suddenly feel empty, and my heart feels empty. I don't know what to do."
Suddenly, Shen Ru had an idea. "Mom, what do you say about me opening a store? I can rent a storefront near Qiqi's school and sell stationery and other things."
Chen Baomei didn't want her daughter to lose her sense of identity and spend her whole life revolving around her granddaughter. She was still young and needed to have her own life.
Besides, business is not that easy to do. She thought opening a store was simple, but in fact, there are so many twists and turns involved.
If you start working blindly, you will only lose money.
Chen Baomei did not advise her to make a decision too quickly, but she also did not want to discourage her enthusiasm.
"You want to open a store. What are you going to sell? Where are you going to get the goods? Do you have the supply channels? What if the goods don't sell and there's a backlog? You need qualifications to open a store. Do you know where to apply for a business license? To apply for a business license, you need to know what your store is going to sell. How can you possibly start a business if you don't know anything and just act on a whim?"
"Besides, high school students all live on campus. You've taken Qiqi to school before, so you should know there aren't many shops there. I'm not trying to discourage you. If you want to find a job, you have to find something you're familiar with. You know nothing about running a shop, and the money you earn won't even cover your losses."
Shen Ru was just impulsive and wanted to find something to do.
It's just that she hasn't worked for many years, and she doesn't even know what kind of work she can do.
She thought opening a store was simple, all she had to do was buy the goods and sell them, and she was sure she could do it.
But her mother poured a basin of cold water on her, which chilled her completely.
"So what do you think I can do?"
Chen Baomei's words hit Shen Ru so hard that she lost all her confidence.
"Just do what you're good at. Didn't you tutor Qiqi pretty well? I heard tutoring classes are quite profitable these days. You used to be a teacher and have experience. I think you can develop in this area."
It will still take more than ten years before schools start to reduce their burden on students. After-school tutoring has already become popular. Shen Ru can definitely do this, stay in the workplace for a few years, and then look for opportunities to transform.
"Open a tutoring class? What if there are no students?"
It would be a joke if we opened a tutoring class but couldn't recruit students.
Jiang Tianming has become a boss, so Shen Ru naturally has never thought about being a tutor in a tutoring class.
She didn't want Jiang Tianming and Shu Yunyun to laugh at her.
"Your father and I didn't run a pig farm in the beginning. We only thought about expanding after we had enough pigs and gained experience. You can't get rich overnight. I think you should first find a larger tutoring institution and become a teacher there to see how it operates. Once you have experience, it won't be too late to open your own tutoring class."
Shen Ru didn't say anything. If she was going to do it, she was going to do it big.
She didn't want others to laugh at her, and she didn't want others to think that her life would only get worse after she left Jiang Tianming.
