Chapter 161 Just Ask This
Women are often prone to getting carried away by love.
But sometimes clarity can be achieved in an instant, in the blink of an eye.
At that time, Shao Shufen was moved that the educated youth did not abandon her, but instead took her to her parents and wanted to be with her again.
But a few words from her parents, who were sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, immediately put her to the alarm.
Especially male educated youth.
They said they were taking her to meet their parents, but it really was just about meeting their parents.
After seeing his parents, he didn't dare to say a word, standing to the side with his head down, timid and cowering like a grandson.
Shao Shufen didn't know whether she was provoked by the words of the other party's parents or by the behavior of the educated youth, but in any case, her romantic mindset vanished all at once.
When women look at men, especially when they are immersed in love, they add layer upon layer of filters.
She doesn't even know if the man she loves is the real person or just an image in her mind.
However, after all the filters were shattered, Shao Shufen realized that she didn't seem to know this man at all.
He used to think I was very handsome, but now I think he's just average.
I used to think he was very cultured and knowledgeable, with excellent manners and a great sense of humor. Now I realize he's just a good-for-nothing who talks big but can't do anything practical.
I used to think this man was gentle and considerate, but now I see him as indecisive and incompetent.
In short, I used to find the other person's poop smelled good, but now I suddenly feel disgusted just looking at them.
Recalling those days, Shao Shufen's face showed a look of unbearable recollection: "I was really puzzled at the time."
"Why was I so bewitched back then, insisting on marrying him?"
"He's not even as good as the guy my parents recommended to me."
"I'm not as tall as him, not as strong as him, and not as manly as him."
"How could I have been so blind to fall for him?"
Jiang Jianni: "..."
How should I put it?
To this day, she still doesn't know what Shao Shufen meant by that kind of love where she was so determined to marry him that she was willing to die for him.
I won't go into my past life, but I only had three crushes: once in junior high, once in high school, and once in college. All three of those crushes ended up dating other girls.
After graduating from university, I shut myself off from love and focused solely on making money.
Yes, I'm married now.
She even found a man like Lu Xiangyang, who can be considered an exceptional man.
I definitely like it.
She wouldn't marry Lu Xiangyang if she didn't like him.
As for love?
She didn't know.
Although she has written many novels about love, she actually knows nothing about love and has never experienced it.
Shao Shufen was unaware that she was lost in her own thoughts and continued talking to herself: "At that moment, I suddenly wondered, why do women have to marry a man?"
"If men are unreliable, why should a woman marry one?"
"Can't you rely on yourself?"
“I’m not missing any limbs, I’m not deaf, blind, or mute. I have hands and feet, and I have children. I can rely on myself, so why do I have to rely on a man?”
"Then, I forced them to give me five thousand yuan."
The various methods used are not even worth mentioning.
In any case, Shao Shufen really used all the wisdom she had in her life to get that five thousand yuan, the child, and the letter of severance from their family.
Even after receiving the money, food coupons, and the letter of severance of kinship, Shao Shufen did not leave immediately as she had promised.
She was afraid that the other party would attack her again at places like train stations and bus stations.
no way.
She encountered many things on the train and heard many stories from others.
Many people go to the city to find men and wives, but very few actually get justice.
Most of them go there full of pride, only to slink back in disgrace.
Some people seemed to have the upper hand at the time, but later others used various means to bully them severely.
Stealing money back from train and bus stations is just one of the most inconspicuous methods, after all, it's someone else's territory.
Shao Shufen took her child and the money and worked as a nanny for two years.
As a result, the male head of the household took a liking to her and wanted her to be his mistress.
By this time, Shao Shufen had lost all affection for men. The other party promised her money, and gave her quite a lot.
Shao Shufen readily resigned from her job as a nanny and became his mistress and secretary.
Having served as his lover and secretary for three years, she had basically learned and thoroughly understood all of his business tactics.
He immediately broke off the relationship with the other party and started his own business using their connections.
Of course, things didn't go smoothly at first, since she had a child to take care of.
She probably really had a talent, because before long, her business was on the right track.
She can't compare to her lover/boss, but she can still earn tens of thousands of yuan every month.
Making money can be addictive.
She quickly became dissatisfied with such small-scale ventures and began traveling around the country with others to do big things.
Over the course of just a few years, coupled with the wealth she gained from her older brother's family, her fortune had reached a level that ordinary people could only dream of.
She didn't say the exact amount, and Jiang Jianni wouldn't be so tactless as to ask further.
Anyway, having made enough money, Shao Shufen wanted to take a break.
I just want to go back to my hometown to retire.
But someone like her, used to venturing out into the world, felt restless and uncomfortable after only ten days back in the countryside.
He then went to Pingyang City and opened a bathhouse.
Who knew that after investing tens of thousands, the business almost went out of business.
She drunkenly grabbed Jiang Jiani's hand and said slowly, "Little Jiang, sister, in this life, the people I admire most are cultured people like you."
“It’s a true cultured person like you, not a hypocrite like Liu Wangba.”
"My sister's bathhouse is so run that she's thinking of closing it down. There's no way to save it."
"My money didn't grow on trees; it's hard-earned money that I've worked so hard for. It hurts me to lose it."
"But look at you, with just a few words, you can revive my business."
"Xiao Jiang, you are my savior."
She pulled out a wad of cash from her bag, all hundred-yuan bills, probably three or four thousand yuan, and stuffed it into Jiang Jiani's arms: "I have to thank you properly."
"Take this money first."
"I didn't bring much money with me today. I'll thank you properly later."
Jiang Jianni was both amused and exasperated, and quickly stuffed the money into her bag: "No need, no need, I was just saying, and besides, I was just doing it for my own convenience."
Just like with disposable diapers, diaper pads, and waterproofing pads, she told Shao Shufen about the concept of a public bathhouse, ultimately so that one day she could have such a place to relax and play.
Besides.
She simply copied the layout of the public bathhouses in Northeast China; she didn't contribute any effort herself.
Shao Shufen gave her so much money, she felt guilty taking it.
But Shao Shufen disagreed and insisted on giving her the money.
After the two of them went back and forth a few times, Jiang Jianni had a sudden idea and said, "Sister, I have a question for you. If you answer it and clear up my doubts, consider it a thank you gift from me."
The tipsy Shao Shufen paused slightly, a glimmer of clarity flashing in her eyes, and mumbled, "Ask away, ask away."
"Just ask, and I'll definitely tell you."
Jiang Jianni took a deep breath and asked, "Didn't you say you had two children? You only mentioned one just now. What about the other one? Did you have it after you got married?"
"???"
Shao Shufen was jolted awake by the shock, staring at her in disbelief: "You, you just asked about this?"
