The elderly women looked at Ye Qingqing in astonishment, as if they had seen a new continent. They had never heard such words before. In the past, saying such things would have been considered extremely disrespectful and would have earned them a scolding from their elders.
"Oh dear, Dr. Ye, please don't say that. Divorce isn't something to be proud of. It's better to be single than to have your first wife. How many remarried people are truly happy? Life is just a blur of things, full of arguments and disagreements. Divorce is pointless," an old lady said.
The other elderly women seemed to agree as well. They said they used to argue with their husbands when they were young. Which couple doesn't bicker and argue all their lives? They argued their whole lives, but when they got old and couldn't argue anymore, they stopped arguing and lived peacefully together in their old age.
An elderly woman misunderstood, thinking that Ye Qingqing and Lu Mo had a bad relationship, and advised, "Dr. Ye, Mr. Lu is young and promising, and handsome. It's normal for you two to have some disagreements. Just let it go after you've had your argument, but don't make it a big deal out of it!"
Ye Qingqing was both amused and exasperated. She explained, "My husband and I have a great relationship. We grew up together and are destined to be together forever. We've never had any conflicts. My husband always gives in to me, Mom, right?"
Lin Shufang laughed too, "The young couple has never even argued. My son can't utter a sound for half a day, so they can't even start a fight. It's always my Qingqing who chatters away like a sparrow, and my son just listens."
Ye Qingqing... she's not a sparrow, and she doesn't chirp. Why isn't she praised as a lark?
The others were relieved, as long as it wasn't just the young couple arguing. However, it was clear that President Lu and his wife had a good relationship. One evening, during a walk, they even saw Lu Mo carrying Ye Qingqing on his back in the park, with their little pig following behind. No one was holding their hands, and they looked rather pitiful, like children picked up from a trash can.
Speaking of which, this young Dr. Ye is quite similar to the old lady's daughter-in-law. They are both beautiful and know how to be charming, and they have their men completely under their thumb. Alas, they only realized this when they got old. Otherwise, if they had been charming when they were young, maybe their old men would have been completely under their control!
A few days later, it was the weekend. Ye Qingqing took her piglet to the park and ran into Lin Baiwei, who was also out for a stroll with her son. The two met face to face and smiled knowingly.
Ye Qingqing told the two children to go play somewhere else, and she and Lin Baiwei found chairs to sit down and chat. Before Ye Qingqing could ask, Lin Baiwei took the initiative to speak.
"I've signed a separation agreement with Xiao Jie's father, and his family will be moving out tomorrow."
Ye Qingqing wasn't surprised. "Where's Xiao Jie?"
“Of course he’ll stay with me, but he’ll meet with his father twice a month. I didn’t ask for child support from Zhao Wenshan, and the marriage was automatically dissolved after two years of separation.” Lin Bai chuckled coldly.
If it weren't for the difficulty in gaining custody of Xiao Jie, she would have filed a lawsuit directly. The current separation is just a delaying tactic. Xiao Jie will live with her for two years, making it easier for her to win custody of him when she appeals.
"That's good, but you'll have a lot of work to do then. Maybe you should find a reliable nanny," Ye Qingqing suggested.
Lin Bai nodded slightly, looking troubled. "It's so hard to find a reliable nanny. I asked my parents to go back to our hometown to find a distant relative, but we still haven't heard anything."
Ye Qingqing's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "A good friend of mine is the owner of Shuxin Housekeeping Company. If you trust her, I'll have my friend recommend one. I'm also looking for a part-time housekeeper, and I'm planning to ask her."
