Zhao Qinglan's disregard was the greatest humiliation for Wang Dazhi.
Seeing that she remained unmoved even after he had said all that, Wang Dazhi could only hope that the day would come soon when his ex-wife begged him for forgiveness.
Sui Wenjing is indeed still at home. Now that it's cold, everyone should try to stay home as much as possible to keep warm.
Upon seeing Zhao Qinglan arrive, Sui Wenjing, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap and was planning to relax before going to work, immediately put on a smile.
"Qinglan, what brings you here again?" She was a little surprised.
"Sister Sui, I have some good news for you."
"What good news?" Sui Wenjing asked curiously.
"My dad and mom got divorced smoothly," Zhao Qinglan said happily.
"What, they're really divorced?" Although she had heard Zhao Qinglan mention it before, Sui Wenjing still couldn't believe that such a thing could be done so easily, after all, she knew how difficult Zhao Qinglan's family members were.
"Really, all the formalities have been completed." She beamed with joy as she mentioned it.
"But Qinglan, what are you going to do about your aunt and your sister?" Sui Wenjing asked.
"Sister Sui, I've made up my mind. I want my mom and my sister to come with me. They definitely can't stay in our hometown anymore, so why don't they come with me there?" She revealed her plan, which she had already made up her mind.
"Oh, they'll all go with you? Will Li Huai agree to that?" After all, they've only been married for a short time, and both of them are remarrying with children.
Bringing several members of her own family along without warning would be something most people wouldn't be happy about.
Zhao Qinglan laughed. "Sister Sui, I'm not bringing my mom and the others to my house."
"If they don't go to your house, where will they stay?"
“I was thinking of renting them a house in the city, preferably with a shop, so they could do some small business and earn money.” Before, when she was alone in the military family quarters, it was really not easy for her to earn extra money.
But if my mother and sister both went, wouldn't that provide a few extra hands?
She can make many kinds of delicious snacks. If she teaches her mother and the others just a few, they will definitely be able to establish themselves in the city.
She doesn't aspire to make a fortune; she just wants enough for her mother and sister to live on, and to earn some extra income for herself.
Seeing that Zhao Qinglan had considered everything, Sui Wenjing was still a little worried. "Qinglan, you have to think twice before doing business. Have you forgotten what happened a few years ago?"
"Sister Sui, just you wait and see, our policies will only get better and better in the future, and there will be more and more people doing business." Speaking of this, she thought of her past life.
How many people at this time could have imagined that in just a few years, state-owned factories and enterprises, which were once considered secure jobs, would go bankrupt one by one, and that a large wave of people leaving their jobs to start their own businesses would emerge at that time?
"Sigh, you've thought it through." Sui Wenjing didn't try to persuade her anymore.
After sitting for a while, Sui Wenjing had to go to work, so the two of them went out together.
After walking with Sui Wenjing for a while, Zhao Qinglan turned and went to the post office, asking the staff to help her dial Li Huai's number.
This time, she didn't call Wu Mei's home, but went directly to Li Huai's office.
Fortunately, Li Huai had just arrived, so he didn't miss the call.
"Hello, it's me."
"Qinglan!" Li Huai exclaimed in surprise.
"I've taken care of my mother's affairs, and I estimate I'll take a bus back in the next few days."
"That's great!" Li Huai said with genuine joy.
"By the way, my mom and sister came with me this time when I went back."
"Oh? Okay, then I'll see if I can bring over another bunk bed," Li Huai replied directly.
Zhao Qinglan chuckled. "Since they're not coming to our house, I'm planning to have them stay in our city. By the way, could you ask around and see if there's any suitable housing available in the city, big enough for three people, preferably with a storefront, so they'll have a place to make a living?"
"Okay, leave it to me. I'm about to rest, I'll go into town and take a look."
"Are the children alright?"
"Why don't you ask me if I'm okay?" Li Huai was a little annoyed.
"You? What's wrong with you?" Zhao Qinglan asked worriedly.
Upon hearing that she was anxious, Li Huai was pleased and quickly said, "I'm fine."
"It's alright, it's alright." This man had startled himself.
In front of the staff, Zhao Qinglan couldn't go into detail about how she became a mother and got divorced. After a few more words, she hung up the phone.
This time, no children tried to take the phone from him, and even though the call didn't last very long, Li Huai was still satisfied.
The thought of Zhao Qinglan coming back soon made him so happy he felt like he could fly.
After finishing her work, Zhao Qinglan returned to the guesthouse and discussed with her mother and sister when they would leave.
"Mom, do you feel okay? If not, let's rest for a couple more days before we leave."
Just thinking about how much it would cost to stay at this guesthouse for a day made Zhao's mother, Sun, want to check out immediately.
"I'm fine, don't worry about me, let's leave tomorrow."
If their mother is fine, then their two younger sisters, Qingzhu and Qingju, are even less of a problem.
The group was finally freed from the shadow of the Zhao family and couldn't wait to leave.
After deciding to leave, Zhao Qinglan remembered something.
“Mom, your and Qingzhu’s household registrations are still in our village. Why don’t we stay a day longer? Tomorrow I’ll go and transfer your household registrations from the Zhao family’s. Oh, and you also need a letter of introduction to go out. I’ll ask Uncle Party Secretary to help you with that.”
“Okay, you handle it.” Madam Sun nodded repeatedly.
When it was time to sleep at night, Zhao Qingzhu shared a room with her younger sister, while Zhao Qinglan shared a room with her mother.
After many years apart, the mother and daughter lived together again, and Mrs. Sun couldn't help but start nagging.
"Qinglan, I'm the only one here right now. Tell me the truth, is that Li Huai really as good as you say?"
Zhao Qinglan turned around and lay on the pillow facing her mother.
"Mom, why would I lie to you about this? Whether he's good or not, you'll see for yourself once you and Qingzhu come with me."
"Qinglan, you've suffered so much all these years." Madam Sun sighed softly. She knew she was incompetent and had wronged herself and her children for many years.
Zhao Qinglan's eyes reddened. "Mom, look at what you're saying. Life is tough at first, but it'll be sweet later. From now on, we'll have only good days ahead."
“Good, bitter before sweet, bitter before sweet is good.” Sun smacked her lips and laughed.
The mother and daughter had a long talk.
With her daughter's encouragement, Mrs. Sun felt more hopeful for the future.
Actually, as long as she doesn't feel wronged, she's not afraid of suffering or getting tired.
Finally, when her mother fell asleep and began to snore softly, Zhao Qinglan gazed at her mother's face, which wasn't too old yet, in the moonlight and smiled contentedly.
She got divorced and escaped the Wang family, and her mother and sister were also freed. As long as she works hard, there will only be more things she can change in the future.
As for those regrets from the past, she will make up for them one by one!
While Zhao Qinglan and her daughter were having a late-night talk by candlelight, Zhao Laoda was drinking alone at home, feeling down.
After he drank cheap liquor until he was completely drunk, he suddenly lay down and started wailing.
How could such a perfectly good family suddenly turn out like this? He was filled with regret, so much so that he felt like his guts were turning green.
He doesn't want the dowry or the job exchange for his daughter, okay? He just wants his old home to come back...
