When Zhang Aiai got home, she was very happy and said she would cook a good meal to celebrate.
She felt relieved and bright, as if a heavy stone had been lifted from her heart, and her whole being became clear-headed.
"Big brother, let's have something delicious tonight," Zhang Aiai said as she went to the kitchen to get busy.
Over the years of marriage, she has learned everything: cooking, laundry, and other housework she had never done before.
Even things I'd never done before, I've learned and become proficient at.
Looking back now, I realize how much her family loved her back then!
In those days, food was distributed according to work points. Without work points, there was no food. Even so, Da Da and his brothers did not let her work in the fields.
They doted on her so much!
But she was so heartless as to think they didn't care about her. Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't know where she got such a thought from.
It was as if I was possessed, controlled by that thought, and I could never break free. Many years passed in this way.
But now that she understands, she naturally no longer has that thought.
However, Zhang Aiai was worried about their future. How would she support herself and Xiao Tao?
She could never really let her older brothers support her; even if they agreed, she wouldn't.
After all, there are still two sisters-in-law at home.
However, Zhang Aiai knew in her heart that if Zhang Qinghua made a decision, Song Lili probably wouldn't say anything, but Lin Xue didn't know.
However, she didn't want to rely on her family anymore. She wanted to learn to be strong on her own, just like her sisters-in-law.
If they can do it, she certainly can too.
She's just feeling lost right now; what should she do?
Seeing that Zhang Aiai seemed to have something on her mind, Zhang Qinghua didn't say much, as if he hadn't noticed.
“Now that you’re divorced, come with me to the capital. Then your sister-in-law will arrange a job for you so you can support yourself.”
"Is this...okay?" Zhang Aiai hesitated. Could her sister-in-law really do it?
Zhang Aiai was very tempted, but after a long while, she gritted her teeth and refused, saying, "Let's forget it, don't trouble your sister-in-law."
My sister-in-law just arranged a job for Xia Jun a while ago, and now she's arranging one for me too? Is that really okay?
Besides, these are all favors that the sister-in-law will have to repay later, so Zhang Aiai was reluctant to let Song Lili ask for favors.
"Don't worry. This is just a matter of me saying a few words to your sister-in-law. You just need to go to work." Zhang Qinghua smiled and patted Zhang Aiai's hair, just like before.
Lili had said before that she could help, which is why Zhang Qinghua can now make such a promise without any burden.
Otherwise, he would still discuss it with Song Lili first.
"Really? You're not kidding me?" Zhang Aiai honestly didn't quite believe it. Could it really be that easy?
Zhang Qinghua nodded. "Don't worry, it's true. I wouldn't lie to you."
Zhang Aiai didn't say anything more, but she still couldn't quite believe it. Didn't they say before that work was difficult?
However, Zhang Aiai didn't ask. She thought to herself, "Let's wait and see. If it doesn't work, I'll go out and look for one myself."
You can't find a good one. Surely you can find a physically demanding job? In short, you won't starve.
Thinking about it, Zhang Aiai felt relieved. As long as she worked hard, she could take good care of herself and Xiao Tao.
That evening, Li Weiguo came to Zhang Qinghua and told him his decision.
"Your aunt and I discussed it and decided to go with you to take a look." They were really worried about it and wanted to see it for themselves to put their minds at ease.
Just like Song Yongren. No matter how Song Lili says she's doing well, he doesn't believe her unless he sees it with his own eyes.
That's why he went to the capital with Xia Jun. Li Weiguo now shares the same thought.
Zhang Qinghua understood and was naturally happy that Li Weiguo could go with them. Daqing would probably be very pleased, wouldn't he?
So, Zhang Qinghua agreed on a departure time and told Li Weiguo to go home and pack his things so they could leave together when it was time to go.
After Li Weiguo left, Zhang Aiai finally spoke, "Brother Daqing should be very happy." They all called Li Qinghua that, just like Song Lili.
"Yes, it's been a long time, so of course I'm happy. Okay, go to sleep. I'm going to the Fifth Brigade tomorrow."
Now that we're back, we should still visit my brother-in-law's family; otherwise, it wouldn't be right.
"Okay, then you should go to bed early too, brother." Zhang Aiai nodded, it was only right.
Zhang Qinghua then spent his time visiting other people's homes and making connections.
The first place we went to was Song Jianshe's house. Although his father-in-law wasn't home, his brother-in-law was!
At the same time, Xia Niu was also informed of Xia Jun's situation, as Song Lili had instructed her to do so when she returned.
After returning from the Fifth Brigade, Zhang Qinghua went to the town and bought some things at the supply and marketing cooperative and the market.
When I got back, I went to the homes of the people I had helped that day. I gave each family a pound of sugar and two cans of food.
Thank you for their help that day, and thank you for going with him.
The families who received the gifts were delighted and marveled at Zhang Qinghua's generosity. At that time, milk candy and canned goods were still relatively rare items, and many people were reluctant to buy them due to their lack of need.
They were naturally happy to receive these things just because they went along and walked a few steps.
At the same time, he sneered inwardly, mocking the Fang family for being such fools who had thrown away such a good in-law.
Otherwise, how many benefits would there be?
Didn't you see Chen Erhua's family? They're related to the Song family through marriage, and they benefit greatly from that!
Chen Erhua now boasts in the village every day that her son works in the capital, in a big factory, with a high salary, good food, and the possibility of becoming a permanent employee. She says he might become a city dweller and have a government job in the future.
Xia Jun only got this job because of Song Lili's help, didn't he?
Zhang Aiai is Zhang Qinghua's younger sister, so she's probably closer to him than Xia Jun, right?
If we curry favor with the Zhang family, wouldn't we get a better job than Xia Jun?
So, the Fang family are complete fools; they just watched such a benefit slip away.
Therefore, for a time, the entire surrounding villages were laughing at the Fang family.
Fang Yaoqing was furious when he heard this. What a load of rubbish! The Zhang family doesn't give a penny, what kind of benefit could they possibly get?
Doesn't he know? Doesn't he know there are benefits to pleasing them?
But is it useful?
It's completely useless!
The Zhang family is stingy. He even came to them asking for it, but they refused, saying that if he curried favor, he'd get benefits. It's all bullshit.
Otherwise, could he get a divorce? (Although he said this with little conviction.)
Fang Yaoqing was incredibly frustrated, but no one believed him when he spoke up. They insisted he was just jealous and talking nonsense because he couldn't have what Fang Yaoqing had. Jealousy.
This made Fang Yaoqing want to find someone to have a good fight with. To hell with jealousy, I'm not jealous at all.
