You can tell a person's age by looking at their eyes.
Actually, when the door opened today, Sun Lifang almost didn't recognize her younger sister—
How come a wealthy woman looks so old?
I'm not talking about appearance, but rather the eyes.
She had no enthusiasm for life, only resentment, complaints, and a competitive spirit. She would often raise her voice and threaten to fight someone to the death.
He sat there, hunched over, staring blankly ahead.
Is this the life she wants?
A woman nearing thirty still lives in a fit of rage, constantly yelling and screaming with bulging veins and a red face.
She's nothing like the person she used to be.
Sun Lifang asked her what she had done wrong, but the woman just stared at her blankly, mouth agape, sighed deeply, and shook her head.
"I don't even know what I want?"
She married him for money and power, but now that she's living this kind of life, she finds it all meaningless.
"I also considered giving up on the divorce—"
"But what can I do if I get divorced?"
If she hadn't divorced, when she looked back on these years, she could at least comfort herself by saying that she had "crossed social classes and given birth to two children," which made others envious.
But if she gets divorced, what will she be?
Approaching thirty, I have accomplished nothing.
Sun Liqin glanced at her sister and smiled faintly, "If I'm wrong, I misjudged your choice."
When she was young, Sun Liqin believed in "if you're not convinced, then fight it." She couldn't understand why her older sister could endure the disdain of her classmates and work hard from dawn till dusk.
Dare to give me the cold shoulder? I'll punch you until you shut up!
“Some people are just bullies who prey on the weak. If you really fight them, there’s nothing they can do.” That’s what Sun Liqin used to say. “At worst, we can just fight again. Let him try to get revenge!”
Sun Lifang neither confirmed nor denied this, saying, "When will this cycle of revenge end?"
"There are plenty of people who gossip and enjoy watching the show; let them say what they want, does it affect my ability to make money?"
She can't control what everyone says, but she can improve her life step by step.
Whether they focus on the present or the future, the two people make different choices.
Only now has Sun Liqin begun to envy her older sister.
"Your life must be very happy, right?"
If I remember correctly, my brother-in-law is capable and loves his wife dearly. He calls home from wherever he goes and takes the kids out to play.
But what about myself?
"I have nothing but a little money. Nobody loves me and nobody likes me."
The woman covered her eyes as she spoke, tears streaming down her face, and sobbed, "To be honest, you don't like me either, do you?"
Is there even a question?
Sun Lifang countered, "What have you given in return?"
To gain something, you must first give something in return.
But from beginning to end, it was her younger sister who was taking.
She treats not only her own family but also outsiders the same way, feeling that the whole world owes her something.
"Yes, you're right!" Sun Liqin suddenly became agitated. "There's no time to lose, let's get a divorce right away, sister, you keep an eye on me—"
Otherwise, she was afraid she would back down again.
That's right, who would be willing to give up their "golden rice bowl" all at once?
Divorce was an impulsive decision. She's in a lot of pain now and knows she shouldn't sink any deeper into this mess, but who knows, she might change her mind in a few days.
After all, the sunk costs are too high; eight years of youth are invested.
She couldn't bear the thought of going back to square one overnight.
"Sister, I've thought it through." The woman grabbed Sun Lifang's hand. "I don't want to live this kind of life, and I don't want to become a bitter woman at such a young age."
Even if she were to follow her sister's advice and try to please her in-laws, she wouldn't want to do it.
"Who lives as a widow at twenty-five or twenty-six?"
My husband is always fooling around outside, and now he's not coming home.
Must one live a life of widowhood from the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, all for the sake of money?
Sun Liqin was also a little scared about sharing him with another woman, "What if he comes back with a disease?"
It's not a big deal for men, but gynecological diseases can be very distressing for women.
Most pathogens only recur and manifest in women.
Sun Liqin doesn't want to get herpes and pimples; the itching is unbearable and it could ruin most of her life.
So she rejected men many times, sometimes turning a blind eye to it.
If someone helps him solve his physiological problems, wouldn't I be relieved of my worries?
Free chickens, might as well use them.
Moreover, ever since Sun Liqin's example of how to break a condom, men are now extremely careful when having sex with women. They wear condoms and even take them off afterward to check them by filling them with water.
They were afraid of having a few more children.
Very cautious.
The woman handed the phone to Sun Lifang, saying, "If I had to say I hesitated, I'd be afraid I'd waver."
"So, could you call him for me?"
"I'm afraid I won't be able to do it myself."
As she spoke, the woman glanced at her two children inside, "I'll leave the children with the Wang family. They'll definitely be better off with their grandparents than with me."
There will be a brighter future.
Everything was in place, but Sun Lifang didn't want her to get a divorce anymore.
Have you thought about what you'll do after the divorce?
It's strange, why do some people always just take things one step at a time?
For a cunning old fox like Sun Lifang, she always plans three, four, five, six, nine, or even ten steps ahead.
If divorce is only for the sake of immediate gratification, then it's truly a case of getting nothing in the end.
Sun Liqin thought her sister was doubting her determination, so she quickly said, "I'm serious."
In the past two days, she received a wedding invitation from a former vocational school classmate.
Although we hadn't seen each other for several years, she and her husband had saved up to buy a small home. They lived frugally but were full of hope. "She told me that the boss promoted her to regional store manager."
