These days, she gets up early every day to sell steamed buns. Although she doesn't earn much, she's earning enough to cover her living expenses.
She felt incredibly at ease spending the money she earned herself.
She even had a thought: if he really didn't like her, then perhaps they could get a divorce after a while.
She gave him... freedom!
"Hongxing, all I can tell you is that if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself."
Others can only give you advice, but they can't make decisions for you.
Do you understand what I mean? That's all she could do for her.
Yang Hongxing poured out all her grievances, and felt much lighter afterward.
She nodded vigorously. "I understand."
In just a short while, she had already made up her mind.
Seeing that the two had stopped, Gu Yanliu came out with a plate of sliced apples. "Have some apples! I'll go cook."
The next day, Yang Hongxing reappeared at the market.
Zhou Mingjie quickly received the news, and he stormed up to her stall, "Yang Hongxing, do you really have to go against me?"
I've told you to stop, but you insist on doing it anyway. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?
"I don't want to do anything. I just want to do my own thing seriously." Yang Hongxing said calmly as she packed up her stall in an orderly manner.
"Your business? Your business is making steamed buns?"
Yang Hongxing glanced at the passersby around her, and instead of answering, asked, "Do you have time now?"
Why don't we go home and talk?
Don't worry, I'll just say a few words to you, it won't take up much of your time.
Seeing her posture, Zhou Mingjie was momentarily stunned.
He had a feeling that she had changed.
The cautious look that had been on her face was gone.
She seemed... no longer afraid of him.
How come she's changed so much after just one day?
What happened that he didn't know about?
He admitted he was somewhat interested. "Okay, we'll talk about it when we get home."
He turned around nimbly and strode ahead.
Yang Hongxing narrowed her eyes slightly, pushed the cart, and slowly followed behind.
The two entered the courtyard one after the other.
"Speak, what do you want to talk to me about?" Zhou Mingjie asked impatiently as soon as she stepped through the door.
"I plan to continue doing this business!" Yang Hongxing said bluntly.
Her gaze was fixed on him, neither flinching nor avoiding his eyes.
"Do this long-term?"
Yang Hongxing, you've really grown up; you've even learned to be two-faced?
You just promised your dad you'd stay home, and then you went back on your word. You're really something else.
Enraged, Zhou Minjie kicked a low stool, sending it flying a considerable distance.
Yang Hongxing watched all this calmly, pursed her lips, but said nothing.
"Yang Hongxing, I will not agree!" Zhou Mingjie turned around and stared at her, saying angrily.
"I will definitely continue, whether you agree or not." Yang Hongxing's voice was soft, but the determination in her words was obvious.
"You still dare to go against me?"
Hehe, let me tell you, I specialize in dealing with all kinds of dissent.
"Do you believe I'll smash all your stuff?" he said, rushing to the cart and making a move to kick the things off.
Yang Hongxing didn't intend to stop her. "If you smash it, I'll just buy another one. There are plenty at the market, I won't have trouble finding one."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Mingjie stretched out his foot, then quietly withdrew it.
Hehe, now he understands Gu Yanbai's feelings.
"You called me back just to tell me this?"
"Not only that... there are other things too."
"Speak, what else is there?" He wanted to see how many things she was hiding from him.
"After a while, let's...get a divorce!" she said with some difficulty.
Divorce is rare in the village, so she naturally knows what divorce means for a woman.
But she had no other choice, did she?
"What did you say?" Zhou Mingjie wondered if he had misheard.
"It means exactly what you heard. I said we should get a divorce in a while!"
Yang Hongxing took a deep breath, trying to calm her tone.
She didn't want him to know how uncomfortable she was right now.
"Yang Hongxing, you've improved!"
"Just to sell those few lousy steamed buns of yours, you've even learned to use delaying tactics. You're a fucking genius."
Zhou Mingjie couldn't describe how he felt at that moment.
Although he disliked this wife he had acquired unexpectedly, he never considered divorce.
He thought to himself, since we're already married, I'll just make do with it!
He will take good care of her, as long as she doesn't affect his quality of life.
He is still the same dashing Zhou Mingjie.
Yang Hongxing shook her head. "I wasn't lying to you."
I'm telling the truth. I know you don't like me, and you only married me out of necessity.
Continuing like this is torture for both of us, so it's better to... end it cleanly.
"Have you thought it through?" He stared at her intently, his eyes terrifyingly deep.
"I've thought it through!"
But let's get this straight, you need to give me some time..."
Zhou Mingjie had an "I knew it" look on his face, knowing she was up to no good!
"Yang Hongxing, do you have any sense?"
Just to make a few steamed buns, you have to tell such a big lie. Don't you get tired of it?
