"I won't tell you this," Zhang Xingrong looked at her. "I've told you before that the kind of life a person wants to live is up to them. The suffering you're going through now is actually no different from the suffering you endured while studying. They're just two different kinds of suffering, so why don't you choose to study?"
Zhao Xueli looked up at Zhang Xingrong. She didn't know why, but Zhang Xingrong was obviously younger than her, but she seemed tall and sensible, like a shining guide.
"Can I...can I?"
"Why not?" Zhang Xingrong's eyes were sharp. "I know you're a good student. When you were with me before, I knew you had a natural talent for studying. Since you have the talent, why don't you work hard?"
Zhao Xueli's eyes lit up. She needed such encouragement right now.
She knew that she was wishful thinking, but she didn't want to live the kind of life she was living now. She didn't want to be treated like a slave and still be scolded!
"Since you're divorced, you only have two options. One is to find a random man and marry him. You know that in Shi County, divorced people want to find a good marriage. There's a high probability that you'll marry an old widower, and your parents might marry you off to someone you don't like in order to get more betrothal money."
Zhao Xueli's hope, which had just been ignited, was suddenly dashed, and her face changed.
"There is another way. In fact, you already have a plan in your mind, which is to study, right?" After saying this, Zhang Xingrong did not continue. She wanted Zhao Xueli to say it herself.
Zhao Xueli felt very embarrassed, she always felt that she was wishful thinking.
Zhang Xingrong sneered sarcastically, "If you don't even have the courage to speak out, what else can you do? Since you don't want to tell me, then I don't have the patience to argue with you."
Zhao Xueli's face paled, and she felt very upset, even a little angry. She finally mustered up the courage to tell Rong Ya this, but she hadn't expected her to be so sarcastic. But... she felt that Zhang Xingrong was different today. Sometimes she was kind, and sometimes she was sarcastic.
No, actually it was the same before. Probably because she gave up Zhang Hewu, the people in the Zhang family didn’t treat her well.
Zhang Xingrong had taught her a lesson before, but in the end, she still said those words to her.
Actually, she was right. She didn't even have the courage to speak out. What else could she do? And she was the one who came to find Zhang Xingrong, but she was so coy and didn't want to say anything...
"Rongya, you're right. I just want to study!"
Zhang Xingrong took a few steps, ready to leave. She wasn't in the mood to meddle in other people's business today. If Zhao Xueli was willing to talk, that was fine. But if she was hesitant, she wouldn't bother.
But since Zhao Xueli wanted to speak, she was willing to be patient with her.
She turned and looked back at her.
Zhao Xueli gritted her teeth, her face struggling, hesitant and shy, but she was unwilling to give in. After struggling for a long time, she finally mustered up the courage: "I want to study, I want to leave here, only studying can leave here!"
She really wanted to leave Hongyun, leave Shi County, and go to a wider place like Rongya.
But she knew she didn't have Rongya's ability, but she still had ways, such as studying. She didn't want to stay here anymore. Two years of marriage had drained her dry. She always felt that everything here made her uncomfortable, and always felt that this place was like a cage.
