He Hongxia scoffed, "What are you going to use to pay back? You've lost your job. If you ask me, you shouldn't have made a scene. You've endured it all these years. If you had just endured a few more years, Yinyin would have grown up, and Jiang Xingzhi would have gotten old. Once your in-laws are dead, you could be in charge of the household, and your good days would have come. You could have worked hard at the hospital and your pension would have been high. Now it's all gone."
The more she talked, the angrier she became. He Hongxia complained, "Which woman hasn't gone through this? Men all have bad tempers, your father had a bad temper too. He would hit people when he was young, and I put up with it. You've had this bad temper since you were little. You've suffered so much but you never learn. Now that you've lost your government job, it will be hard to get back in. You... you didn't listen to my advice when you got married, and now you can't stand it and you resort to violence. With your personality, you'll suffer a lot in the future. Just you wait and see!"
Lu Qinghua kept her head down and remained silent. If it were before, she would definitely have overturned the table and turned against He Hongxia.
But now she has learned to reflect. Over the years, she has been reflecting on what she did. If she had listened to her mother and not married Jiang Xingzhi, but instead married the man He Hongxia introduced through someone else, although he was not as good-looking as Jiang Xingzhi, he was honest and reliable, and was actually a good man.
Lu Qinghua once ran into a man she had met on a blind date. He was a big, burly man. At the time, she disliked him because of his appearance and his job—he was a bus driver.
Two years ago, she ran into this man at the supermarket. He looked much more energetic than before, holding his son's hand and carrying his chubby little daughter on his shoulders. The family of four was shopping at the supermarket. The man was very considerate to his wife, speaking softly and not letting her carry heavy things. When they came out, they ran into each other again. Lu Qinghua was riding her bicycle and noticed that the man was driving a car.
These days, only business owners own private cars. A bus driver definitely can't afford a car. Lu Qinghua took this to heart. Later, she asked He Hongxia about it and found out that the man had stopped driving a bus a long time ago. He borrowed money to buy a large truck and started a transportation business. After a few years, he opened a transportation company, became a boss, bought a villa and a car, and lived a very good life.
He Hongxia even said at the time that she was unlucky; if she had married this man back then, she would be a boss's wife now.
Although Lu Qinghua felt a little melancholy, she did not regret it. Everyone's fate is different. Perhaps if that man had married her, he would still be a bus driver now!
But her decision to marry Jiang Xingzhi was absolutely wrong, and it was the consequence of not listening to He Hongxia. She can't blame anyone else.
“I can’t stand it. Rather than swallowing my anger and suffering in silence, I’d rather have a clean break. You don’t need to worry about my work. If I can’t work at the hospital, I can go to a clinic. I can always find a job.” Lu Qinghua’s tone was relatively calm, and he didn’t argue with He Hongxia.
"The clinic is tiring and doesn't pay well, what are you after?" He Hongxia became even angrier.
"Just for a quick and satisfying feeling, for a clear conscience," Lu Qinghua replied coldly.
He Hongxia wanted to curse again, but the old man snorted unhappily, so He Hongxia had no choice but to shut up.
"It's good that you can correct your mistakes from the past. Qinghua's temperament is indeed not good. I hope you will learn to think twice before you act in the future, and think more about Yinyin before doing anything." The old man said earnestly.
"I will correct it," Lu Qinghua promised.
She realized she was wrong. She had suffered such a great loss, and if she didn't change, she would be letting down her whole family who had worked so hard for her.
The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, but Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "Things will definitely get better and better in the future. Qinghua should first get the divorce formalities done with Jiang Xingzhi. Don't worry about work; you can go back to work at the company."
