It was still dark and Ma Xiu Lan was preparing breakfast for the children before going to work in the cafeteria when she heard a gentle knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Xiu Lan, it's me."
Wang Erni's hoarse voice came from outside the door. Ma Xiulan hurriedly opened the door and welcomed her in.
Just when he was about to ask Wang Erni why she came here so early, he saw that Wang Erni looked haggard and looked at him with a very conflicted look, so he stopped talking and waited for Wang Erni to speak herself.
Wang Erni thought about it all night. She wanted to ask Ma Xiulan for advice. She originally wanted to tell her directly what happened last night, but then she remembered that Li Shulan and Zhao Youcai also had an unclear relationship. If she told Ma Xiulan, Ma Xiulan might want to take revenge on Li Shulan and spread the matter, which would affect her two children.
So he changed his mind and asked Ma Xiulan, "Xiulan, do you think I can live well if I get divorced?"
If she divorced, she would be criticized by others, but if she didn't divorce, she would not be able to swallow this anger, and she was also afraid that Zhao Youjie would put a man in her bed while she was sleeping. If that happened, she would be blamed and she would not be able to live her life as a normal person.
She saw that Ma Xiulan became very energetic after her divorce, and heard from her son that Ma Xiulan was living a good life after the divorce, so she insisted on hearing the answer from Ma Xiulan.
Ma Xiu Lan handed her a cup of hot water. She guessed that Wang Erni must have discovered something unacceptable tonight, most likely something about Zhao Youjie and Li Shulan, because the last time the two were found eating together in a state-owned restaurant.
Wang Erni is now asking herself this question, and she can only remind herself:
"Actually, whether you divorce or not, living a good life depends on your own efforts. You see, every family has its own problems, which means that no matter who you marry, you may encounter various problems. It all depends on how you solve them."
"You see, some are forced into becoming fierce women, single-handedly fighting against their in-laws. Some endure humiliation their entire lives. And of course, there are those like me who divorced and raised their children alone. No matter what path you choose, the most important thing is to find the right time and strive for the best interests for yourself and your children. As long as you feel that you and your children are living a good life, that's all that matters."
Wang Erni pressed on: "Do you regret getting divorced?"
Ma Xiulan shook her head. "I don't regret it. I have a house to live in now, money to spend, my children are here with me, and I don't have to serve Zhao Youcai's family of vampires. I just have to take care of myself."
Wang Erni's eyes lit up, and she murmured, "I have a house to live in and money to spend."
She could take this opportunity to take the house back, but the family savings were limited. Without Zhao Youjie's salary, how would she, a housewife, survive in the future?
She shook her head again in frustration: "I can't compare to you. You have a salary, but I don't."
She gave her job to her son, who will have to support the family in the future. How could she ask for money from her son?
Ma Xiu Lan knew that due to the limitations of the times, many unemployed housewives did not have a high status at home, so she had been tolerant. In her previous life, she seemed to have heard that Zhao Youjie had an affair with the nanny who served him at home when he was old, and Wang Erni was so angry that she was hospitalized. She didn't know what happened afterwards because she was stabbed to death by Zhao Yang.
Although the events of later generations did not happen now, Li Shulan appeared.
Li Shulan was no ordinary person either. She was afraid that if Wang Erni kept giving in, her efforts would be in vain. Moreover, times had changed, and as long as one was diligent and down-to-earth, making money was easy.
"As long as you want to make money, there's definitely a way. When I was making paper boxes at home, I never thought I'd get a job. I just took it one step at a time."
That’s right. Wang Erni was shocked when she learned that Ma Xiu Lan had been promoted from a temporary worker in the cafeteria to a regular worker and even a master chef.
She has accomplished such a difficult thing. I can find a temporary job and earn a dozen yuan a month to support myself.
Hearing the noise coming from other rooms, Wang Erni knew that Zhao Xingguo and the others had woken up. She was afraid that if she stayed there any longer it would affect Ma Xiulan's family affairs, so she suggested going home first.
Ma Xiulan said gently, "If you need any help, just let me know. The children and I are on your side."
Wang Erni lowered her head, responded with red eyes, and went back.
Zhao Xingmin came to the kitchen to get hot water to brush his teeth and happened to bump into Wang Erni. He greeted her and Wang Erni was shocked. Xingmin was no longer the timid person he used to be.
The thought in her mind became stronger and stronger.
She returned to her home. Her daughter-in-law and daughter had not yet woken up after drinking the drugged rice soup. Zhao Youjie was about to collapse after tossing and turning all night. When he heard the noise, he yelled:
"Wang Erni, don't be so shameless. Let me out now, or I will beat you to death."
No matter how much nice words you say, Wang Erni won't listen, so she deserves a beating.
Seeing him still so vicious, Wang Erni really wanted to burn the couple to death if she hadn't cared about her children. Now she wanted to go back to her parents' home and call her brothers to help her get a divorce.
Why did Zhao Youjie dare to call for killing after doing something wrong? His guilt only lasted for one night.
"We're getting divorced."
Zhao Youjie didn't want to divorce at first, but Wang Erni embarrassed him so much that night that he also wanted to divorce.
"Divorce me if you want. Just go back to your parents' house. And you'd better keep your mouth shut, or don't blame me for beating your child."
Now that he has been locked up by me, he is still so arrogant. He wants to drive me away and ask me to cover up for him, otherwise he will attack my own child. If I let him go, I am afraid he will go even further.
