"In fact, sometimes I also think that it is not impossible to continue living in this muddle. The children are so old, and the elderly on both sides live in the same village. Divorce is too ugly."

"But whenever I see Yue'er, I feel like there's a handful of sand in my heart. Everything is wrong."

"He said that we all owed Doctor Qiao, so we should make it up to him through Yue'er. But how did I owe Doctor Qiao? It was Doctor Qiao who stole my man."

"I know he has always disliked me, thinking that I am uneducated and vulgar and not worthy of him. After so many years, I have also figured it out. If we are not worthy, then there is no need to force a match. I will divorce him, and he can find someone better than me."

Liu Ercui was very stable when she said these words, but Qin Hanshu believed that she must have been going through a fierce struggle in her heart.

To be honest, Qin Hanshu didn't expect Liu Ercui to make the decision to divorce so resolutely.

Divorce is not common in this era, and Liu Ercui has so many concerns behind her. I believe that most women in her position would choose to make do with it.

"Sister-in-law..." Qin Hanshu paused, "No, I will call you sister from now on. Sister Er Cui, as long as you make up your mind, I will do my best to support you."

Liu Ercui held Qin Hanshu's hand and said with emotion: "Sister, I am shamelessly asking for your help."

Qin Hanshu immediately guessed what kind of help he needed.

"Work, right? That's no problem, I'll take care of it. But besides work, there's something even more difficult to deal with, which is household registration."

Zhang Lei is going to be demobilized and his household registration will be moved back to his hometown. The army will no longer accept Liu Ercui and the children’s household registration.

Liu Ercui herself doesn't care. She thinks it's just drifting around as long as no one investigates and it doesn't affect her life.

But the children have to go to school, especially the eldest son of the Zhang family, who will soon face the prospect of entering junior high school.

Qin Hanshu asked: "Will Zhang Lei agree to let all the children follow you? If they all follow you, going to school will be a big problem."

Liu Ercui said: "I have thought about this... To be honest, although I really want all the children to follow me, I also know that this is impossible. The Zhang family will never let their three sons follow me."

"The best outcome is that I can win Pearl over."

"Pei'er is still young, so schooling can wait for another two years. By then... I'll try to see if there's a way to solve the household registration problem."

If it really doesn't work, she can only go back to her hometown. But before going back to her hometown, she must save more money. Only when a woman has money can she be confident to make her own decisions.

Qin Hanshu couldn't help but look at Liu Ercui again.

She used to think that Liu Ercui and Zhang Lei were married just because of their parents' arrangement, and that Liu Ercui insisted on marrying Zhang Lei because she grew up in a closed environment and her mind was not liberated.

But now it seems that is not the case.

If they were just living together, then Liu Ercui would not need to divorce. On the contrary, she could take advantage of the fact that Zhang Lei had concealed Yue'er's affair and treat it as the man's fault. In the future, Liu Ercui would be able to have more power to be the master of the household.

However, Liu Ercui would rather face all the difficulties after the divorce than continue living with Zhang Lei, which shows that her feelings for Zhang Lei are much deeper than others imagine.

Liu Ercui often said that she was an uneducated country woman who did not understand the love affairs that city people always talked about.

Perhaps she herself does not know that the feeling she has for her husband is love.

Because of love, one will abandon all practical interests and care about the abstract heart of a man.

However, Liu Ercui's road to divorce was not that easy.

Outsiders have no idea what the rift is between the couple.

When Qin Hanshu heard that Zhang Lei had filed for divorce, she had already finished a semester and was on summer vacation.

Ever since the last conversation with Liu Ercui, Qin Hanshu has been helping her with work matters.

Because she was admitted to university, Wang Yinghui paid more attention to her, thinking she was a promising talent, and had a talk with her before school started.

That meant that she should finish her studies well, and when she returned to the department store, the Labor and Personnel Department would be handed over to her.

After graduating from university, you are assigned a job as a section chief, but there is a huge difference in which department you are assigned to.

Wang Yinghui handed over the Labor and Capital Section to her in order to build up his own power. However, it was beyond Qin Hanshu's expectation that she would become Wang Yinghui's confidant.

Of course, the prerequisite is that she actually becomes the head of the labor and personnel section.

However, even though her future is still promising, in the eyes of people in her unit, she is different from before.

There was no need to ask Wang Yinghui to arrange a job for Liu Ercui, she could do it herself.

At first she didn't set her goal too high, thinking that it would be good enough if she could arrange a cleaning job for Liu Ercui.

The actual result exceeded her expectations and she got a position as a salesperson.

Becoming a salesperson can solve the household registration problem.

When Qin Hanshu told Liu Ercui about this, Liu Ercui was speechless.

Finally, she took Qin Hanshu's hand and said, "Sister, I will remember your kindness for the rest of my life."

Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "It's an exaggeration to say that I'm indebted to you. We've known each other for so many years, and you've taken care of me so much. It's just a small favor."

Liu Ercui was not an ignorant person and she knew that this was not just a simple favor.

Even for city dwellers, it is difficult to find a job, let alone a respectable salesperson in a department store.

There are also urban hukou...

Liu Ercui didn't say anything else, but just kept this feeling in her heart.

Next, Liu Ercui was busy with her divorce while reporting to the department store and looking for houses.

Renting a house is not easy, and one needs to look for one slowly. Qin Hanshu was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to do so, so she asked Liu Ercui to look for one herself.

Liu Ercui was lucky and found a place to live within a month.

I heard that it was a house in a tube-shaped building, and the owners of the house were a young couple. The young couple were also divorced. The woman returned to her parents' home, and the man wanted to earn some extra money, so he rented out the house and moved into the company dormitory.

All the back-up plans have been prepared. Liu Ercui can start a new life as soon as the divorce certificate is issued.

But the divorce report has not been approved yet.

Suddenly one day, the organization talked to Liu Ercui and asked her if Zhang Lei had committed a problem with his work style and that was why they wanted to divorce.

It turned out that when Lin Peng saw that he could no longer get money from Zhang Lei and could no longer see Yue'er, he wanted to take revenge and reported Zhang Lei.

It is said that Zhang Lei had had an affair with his deceased wife.
