With enough eye drops and money in hand, Su Mingxian was sitting on the kang with her two little ones, counting the cash and enjoying some meat.
The two children were devouring their food with gusto, savoring every bite. Watching them brought a pang of sadness to Su Mingxian's heart, and she silently vowed that she would never let her children suffer as she had. She was determined to ensure they lived a good life.
As she looked at the eight hundred yuan and an IOU in her hand, it wasn't much, but Su Mingxian felt content. After all, it was money given freely, and considering Zhang Chunhua's stingy nature, this could be considered a significant loss for her. She couldn't help but think that Zhang Chunhua must be feeling quite the pinch right now—not just emotionally, but physically as well.
How could Father Shen not take the opportunity to vent his frustrations on her?
Zhang Chunhua's reputation in the village had never been good, and now it would likely be even worse.
Su Mingxian felt a sense of satisfaction.
Now that she had some money in hand, combined with the sixty yuan she had left over, she had a total of eight hundred and sixty yuan.
Yes, she actually had a bit of money.
This was from three years ago when Shen Chi returned from military service; he had given her three hundred yuan. Over the years, she had been frugal, stretching every penny as far as it could go.
Yet whenever she thought of Shen Chi, Su Mingxian felt a lingering ache in her heart.
She had worked hard all her life but never won his heart. If that was the case, why should she continue to waste her life on him?
After all, he didn't hold any feelings for her; it would be better to cut ties completely.
There is a saying that goes, "The me you disregard today will be the one you can't reach tomorrow."
She must live her life to the fullest, more splendidly than anyone else, and with great joy.
Divorce—
Since he looks down on me, ha, I won't need him anymore.
Once this thought took root, it became increasingly uncontrollable.
But to get a divorce, she first needed to find him.
So, she decided to head south. After all, she couldn't stay in this home any longer. Why not take the children with her to Shanghai? It was a time of rapid development; standing at the forefront of the era, if Shen Chi could become a winner in life, why couldn't she?
With her mind made up, Su Mingxian's eyes sparkled with determination.
...
At that moment in Shanghai, Shen Chi, busy checking project progress, suddenly sneezed. "Who’s thinking about me?"
Rubbing his nose, he turned to Hou Tian beside him and said, "Monkey, I need to go negotiate a new project in a few days. This place is in your hands now. Keep a close watch; there can't be any mistakes with the project."
Hou Tian replied excitedly, "Brother Chi Zi, is it the new project from the development zone? Wow, that's great! Don't worry, I've got this."
He finished speaking and patted his chest, clearly excited. Shen Chi smiled as he patted him on the shoulder, then casually pulled out a cigarette and placed it between his lips, looking incredibly cool. However, his gaze grew increasingly distant.
It had been over a year since he came to the Shanghai, working tirelessly like a spinning top without any time to return home and check on how she and their child were doing. "Forget it, I should send some money back. Once things stabilize here a bit more, I’ll buy a house and bring them over."
Although this was the daughter-in-law his family had pushed onto him—someone he wasn't particularly fond of—he still hoped that they could live a better life.
After saying this, he took the unlit cigarette from his mouth, tossed it to the ground, and stamped it out with his foot until no embers remained before striding away.
Little did he know that the backyard was about to catch fire, and his wife was contemplating how to divorce him.
Of course, he was completely unaware that their hometown had already been turned upside down by his own daughter-in-law.
