Eighties Sweetheart Wife
Chapter 566: Divorce is Great!

Chapter 566: Chapter 566: Divorce is Great!

Whether she was sincere or not, Luo Shuxiu couldn’t be bothered to talk to him.

Such people cannot be persuaded by anyone.

"No matter what," she said, "we small-towners can’t hold a candle to you, so I won’t bother you anymore. Let’s just stick to our agreement from now on."

After saying this, Luo Shuxiu walked away without ever looking back.

Lin Han stood there in a daze, feeling like it really was over.

But for some reason, he didn’t feel relieved; instead, it was rather uncomfortable.

Perhaps it was because Luo Shuxiu had left so decisively and confidently.

Plus, her fellow villager was quite mysterious.

He had been misled by Bian Haiying.

He had friends, too and had managed to gather some information about Song Yunuan both directly and indirectly over the past few days.

Not to mention anything else, just being able to trade for food and gold already put her ahead of her peers.

And to make matters more intriguing, she was very close to Gu Huai’an.

If there was indeed someone behind her, it must be Gu Huai’an.

Unfortunately, the opportunity was missed.

How great it would have been if they had believed their son when he told them.

The affection of a young woman is important, but one’s own career and future are more so.

Lin Han masked his expression; even if he had regrets, he couldn’t let others see them.

Just move forward.

-----------------

After settling down in the company’s backyard, Luo Shuxiu received several visits from Song Ting, as they came from the same county and naturally felt close to each other with endless topics to discuss.

Moreover, Song Ting brought along Qianqian, who had nothing else to occupy her time.

Murong Feng’s health was gradually improving, as was Lou Mengjun’s.

Lou Mengjun made the decision to hire a caregiver for them.

Qianqian had been delayed too much and couldn’t keep looking after the elderly endlessly.

With the conditions so favorable now, even though she was already thirty years old—a "leftover woman" to many—according to the standards of the Murong and Lou families, Qianqian’s life was just beginning.

Song Ting had returned with Chu Zizhou.

On the day of the move, Chu Zizhou was absent due to other commitments, but came the next day to visit Luo Shuxiu.

Luo Shuxiu truly hadn’t expected to feel bolder and more at ease after her divorce than she had before it.

No longer did she have to wake up early to prepare breakfast for the whole family, hastily eat something herself, and then rush to do the dishes and tidy up the house.

After soaking her laundry and planning to wash it at noon, she hurried off to work, then after a tiring morning had to go to the market to buy vegetables.

She literally ran home to cook.

Once everyone had finished eating, she was left to wash the dishes and pots, while Lin Li and that old lady would dodge when they could, hardly ever lifting a hand.

Lin Han was no help at all.

Even her son was more assistance to her.

She spun like a top throughout the day, seemingly never having a moment to stop.

Now, her life suddenly felt unhurried.

Gone were the malicious voice of the old lady and Lin Li’s mocking remarks, and she no longer had to endure Lin Han’s cold, irritated face.

After giving it some thought, she really didn’t know how she had endured all these years.

How wonderful her life is now.

Meals three times a day, just for her and her son, eating whatever they felt like, doing whatever they wanted.

And then there was Song Ting and Qianqian, who would drop by to keep her company. She had also enrolled in night school and was currently reviewing her lessons.

Her son’s academic performance had stabilized once more.

He was even more diligent and hardworking than before.

Why are the days after divorce so good?

If she had known it was so good, so free, so happy, she would have divorced long ago.

Before she left, Mrs. Wu told her that a daughter-in-law as capable as her was hard to find, even with a lantern; Lin Han would regret it sooner or later, and at that time he would come back begging for her forgiveness.

In her heart, Luo Shuxiu thought, how wonderful these days were, and how foolish she would have to be to return to the suffocating life she had with him before.

Even if he got down on his knees and begged until his death, she wouldn’t give a damn about him.

But then again, looking at her surroundings, she had to admit that part of her confidence came from Little Nuan.

Song Yunuan didn’t think so.

In fact, it mainly depended on oneself.

Even without her, Aunt Xiu had savings, and her son received a living allowance each month; she could rent a small apartment and live there with her son.

Without all the messy troubles, she could save all the money she earned, and with over eight hundred yuan in savings, she could get by somehow, though it might be a bit harder than now.

-----------------

Since Qian Anna visited her, Qin Suyun waited for a couple of days, then inquired indirectly about the incident that occurred in Song Yunuan’s dormitory.

The one named Bian Haiying had already moved out.

According to the other two female classmates who lived with her, Song Yunuan frequently took leave and was rarely in the dormitory.

There was no possibility of an argument, nor were there any significant irreconcilable conflicts.

The main reason was that Song Yunuan and the wife of the teacher Bian Haiying was infatuated with were from the same hometown.

All because of this ridiculous reason.

That’s where the conflicts and contradictions came from.

Was Song Yunuan the type of girl who was easy to deal with? Not at all.

If she were an ordinary girl, she wouldn’t have achieved what she had today.

So for the principles she ought to uphold, Song Yunuan never backed down.

It was bound to be Bian Haiying who ended up moving out, and this was of no surprise.

The subsequent developments seemed to be both expected and unexpected at the same time.

The matter was left to the school to handle.

It didn’t involve Song Yunuan much, so Qin Suyun dropped the issue and didn’t ask further.

However, she wondered how she might arrange to meet Song Yunuan.

She couldn’t wait for the young lady to come to her door; perhaps it wouldn’t be a big problem to see her in advance, or could it backfire?

Qin Suyun actually hesitated.

In the end, she gave up the idea.

She didn’t want to overcomplicate things and end up being blamed by her son.

When Qian Anna came to see her again, Qin Suyun told her, since you no longer work here, it’s better to come less often; avoiding the unit is good for both sides, as this workplace is not like the others. If you really need anything, just come to my house.

After all, we still live in the same compound.

Speaking of Old Man Qian, he really has a thick face; if it were her own father, he would have moved out of the compound long ago out of shame and indignation.

But after he was discharged from the hospital, he even visited Murong Feng to apologize profusely and in tears, and then acted as if nothing had ever happened.

It’s as if he’d already forgotten he had a wife in prison.

The way his family handled things with Old Qu was swift and decisive; it was both admirable and chilling.

Perhaps this is what happens when disaster strikes: everyone looks out for themselves.

Qin Suyun didn’t even ask Qian Anna what she wanted, but after seeing her leave with a flushed face, Qin Suyun thought for a moment and called her son; thankfully, he answered the phone.

On the other end, Gu Huai’an kept it brief: "She probably came to you because I went with Little Nuan a few days ago to help Luo Shuxiu move."

Qin Suyun: ...

I know who Luo Shuxiu is. She’s Song Yunuan’s fellow townsman, right?

But, my son actually went to help someone move?

Is my son really that down-to-earth?

Alright, Qin Suyun hung up the phone speechlessly.
