There were many people coming to Luo Wei's country for dinner, most of them came with their families, only Yun Muye and Zhao Xudong came alone, and Shen Huaian was alone.
Zhao Xudong had an unshaven beard, smoking in one hand and holding a wine glass in the other, looking at everyone in a trance. Everyone brought their families with them and flirted with each other, but he was the only one who felt melancholy.
Shen Huaian approached Yun Muye and whispered, “I heard that Zhao Xudong is divorced.”
Yun Muye frowned. "You're a grown man, but you're too nosy. You know everything that's going on in everyone's family."
Shen Huaian spread his hands and sighed helplessly.
"I can't help it. I'm a doctor, serving the army. All the children here go to me for any minor illness or pain. Those women sit in the clinic with their children all day, gossiping about the neighbors. I know everything about the smallest problems in everyone's family!"
Yun Muye shook his head, glanced at the people around him, and whispered,
"Shut up!"
Shen Huaian put a finger on his mouth and made a zipper motion.
Li Guiying was busy cooking in the kitchen, her back aching from exhaustion. She listened to the women outside eating melon seeds and chatting, her mind already drifting away.
In her previous life, she had a bad relationship with everyone in the compound. Things were very tense, and she didn't talk to them. Naturally, she never invited anyone to dinner. She only knew that the little nanny married Yun Muye, and she thought she was Tangyuan's stepmother, but it turned out to be his biological mother.
Li Guiying looked at the big table full of chicken, duck, fish and meat, all of which were delicious dishes and meat. Today, she took them all out to entertain the guests. It would be a lie to say that she didn't feel bad. But when she thought of Luo Weiguo's admiring look after she suggested treating everyone in the compound to a meal, she knew that this step was right.
Money is nothing. She will earn it back through business in the future. She has been reborn and has seen so many good things from her previous life. With this opportunity, it will be easier for her to make money than others.
As long as she holds on to Luo Weiguo tightly, she will have no worries about her future. This time, she will never ask Luo Weiguo for a divorce. As long as they don't divorce, that rich girl will not marry Luo Weiguo. In this life, if that woman dares to pester Luo Weiguo again, she will write a letter to report her directly.
Zhang Yanni came to the kitchen with a handful of melon seeds.
"Guiying, thank you for your hard work. You made so many dishes. Even during Chinese New Year, we can't have such a sumptuous meal."
Li Guiying calmed down her complicated emotions, turned around and replied with a smile:
"Sister-in-law, this is nothing. I'm new here, and I hope everyone will take care of me. As long as everyone eats and drinks well, my work won't be in vain."
Li Xiufang gave a thumbs up and said, "Look, Captain Luo's wife is so good at talking, generous, and good at cooking."
"That's right. My daughter just kept praising Auntie's cooking. Captain Luo is so lucky."
A loud-voiced military wife teased, "Captain Luo, everyone is praising your wife's cooking skills, why don't you give her a few compliments?"
Everyone laughed, and Luo Weiguo straightened up proudly. He was proud to have a wife who could cook. A curious man asked Yun Muye,
"Is your wife's cooking so delicious?"
Yun Muye shook his head, "I can't bear to let her cook."
The man lowered his head and drank with a guilty conscience. When Shen Huaian, who was closest to him, heard this, he rubbed his arms.
"Captain Yun, are you doting on your wife or your daughter?"
Yun Muye took a sip of wine and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Li Guiying felt very happy listening to everyone's praise. She was willing to do it no matter how tired she was. She bought and cooked two large tables of dishes herself. She started working on it yesterday and has been busy until now. It was all worth it.
Gu Zhinian and Yunshuang downstairs had already finished their meal. Yunshuang was holding little Tangyuan and coaxing him to take a nap. Gu Zhinian was cleaning the dishes in the kitchen. Just as he finished, the door opened.
Yun Shuang carried the sleepy little Tang Yuan back to the bedroom. Gu Zhinian went to open the door. Outside the door, Han Li was standing there in high spirits. She was wearing a red slim coat with a black sweater dress underneath, eight-centimeter black high heels, beautiful curly hair, and a small black bag in her hand.
Gu Zhinian was stunned. What a pretty girl, she looked like a star from Hong Kong, but even prettier than a star.
"You won't invite me in?"
Han Li threw a coquettish glance at her, Gu Zhinian curled his lips and smiled, then stepped aside.
"Come in quickly."
As soon as Han Li entered the room, she sat down on the sofa, her fingers gently touching her curly hair.
"Congratulations, I'm divorced from that man. I'm finally free. I've been so frustrated for the past two years of marriage!"
Gu Zhinian poured her a glass of water and placed it in front of her.
"Where do you live now?"
Han Li let out a soft "tsk," leaned back, and crossed her legs. "I went back to my parents' yesterday. When my family heard I was getting divorced, they went ballistic. My parents took turns scolding me, and even my sister-in-law secretly told me not to go back. If I don't want to go back, then I don't have to. Who cares? I'm staying in a hotel."
Gu Zhinian sat beside her, stroked her hair with his fingers, and tucked it behind her ear.
"Have you found a job?"
Han Li said lazily:
"No, I have some money and I'm not in a hurry to find a job."
"I have a friend who is looking for a factory accountant. Do you want to do it?"
"Be an accountant?" Han Li turned to look at her. "I didn't even graduate from high school. Can I be an accountant?"
Gu Zhinian gave her the address and said, "I don't know if it's okay. Can you go to this place and ask?"
Han Li took the note, took a look at it, smiled and waved her hand.
"Thank you. It's rare for you to be so nice to me. I thought you would say something to me, but you're so kind as to find me a job. My biological parents don't understand me."
Han Li felt a little sad, her throat choked, not because of work, but because Gu Zhinian supported her and understood her. She endured it and reached out to hug her.
"What a good sister! Thank you! I've decided to keep you as my good sister for life."
Gu Zhinian patted her on the back and said, "Divorce is no big deal. If you make the wrong choice, you should cut your losses in time instead of making the same mistake over and over again. In this life, apart from birth, old age, sickness and death, everything else is trivial."
Han Li raised her head, smiled and wiped away her tears.
"Yes, you are absolutely right. I am just getting divorced. What's the big deal? I still have a lot of youth in my life. I am still healthy. I have hands and feet. I will earn money on my own and can eat whatever I want, wear whatever I want, and dress however I want. No one will ever nag me again, asking why I spend so much money, saying that I have to be filial to my parents-in-law and need me to cook and wash clothes for them. Get out of my way! I am free!"
Gu Zhinian admired her very much. In this era, most people would never divorce even if they were beaten to death. They were afraid of the gossip and strange looks from people around them. Han Li was really brave. If she were in Han Li's position, she might not do as well as Han Li.
