Chapter 219 This is called a lesson from the past.

The news that Yao Chunian wanted to divorce Zhang Tiesheng sparked considerable discussion among those around them.

However, after the Yao family made such a big scene, everyone expressed sympathy for Yao Chunian and disdain for Zhang Tiesheng.

A perfectly capable man stole his wife's hard-earned money and gave it to his younger brother, shamelessly claiming it was his money.

I really don't know how I can even say that.

Adding to the fact that Yao Chunian deliberately caused such a scene on the second day of the Lunar New Year under Yao Shula's guidance, the Zhang family was practically being criticized behind their backs this time.

No family wants their daughter to end up with such a family!

Even Yao Chunian's sister-in-law, Zhang Xiaoqin, was subjected to a lot of sarcastic remarks at her husband's family home.

"Your brother is so good, and your sister-in-law earns a lot of money too. What? Did your brother secretly take some of your sister-in-law's money to help you out?"

Zhang Xiaoqin's face turned green, and she started complaining when she went back to her parents' home.

"Did my second brother break his hand? He keeps asking his family for money. He's been working for so many years and hasn't brought a single penny home. Instead, he keeps asking his family for money."

No wonder! Every time I'm short on cash and ask you two for some, you both say you don't have any. I thought you were spending it on your grandson!

So my second brother took them all!

Now look what's happened! You've made my older brother divorced, and we've become a laughing stock in Yun County. We can't even stand up straight anymore. Are you all satisfied now?

My second brother wasn't affected much; he lives in the city, so far from Yun County, that he wouldn't hear the insults directed at him.

You guys, from now on, when you go out, just wait to be talked about behind your backs!

The Zhang family couple also started to regret their decision.

They thought they had figured out Yao Chunian's temperament. She used to be submissive and easy to manipulate, but later she suddenly became more perceptive and the old methods no longer worked, so they changed their approach.

They thought that at most, Yao Chunian would just scold them a few times to vent his anger, and that he would definitely not have any further objections afterward.

Who knew... she tore off that fig leaf again!

“We’re useless! The Yao family is pointing their fingers at us and cursing us!” Zhang Tiesheng’s mother just slaps her thigh and howls all day long.

As for Zhang Tiesheng...

Haha, now he doesn't even say a word, and when he goes out he walks close to the wall, as if he's afraid of being seen by others.

...

"My maternal grandmother, along with my aunt and my mother, went to talk to the Zhang family. I don't know how the talks went, and my mother won't tell us either."

Anyway, we got the divorce certificate yesterday. Qiangqiang is going to live with Chun Nian, and Zhang Tiesheng will pay ten yuan a month for living expenses. Miao Yamin, the new little messenger, was the first to run over and tell Yao Shula the latest news.

Yao Shula said "Oh," and that they were finally divorced. She thought it was time to celebrate, but she was still a little disappointed.

"Why didn't Grandma invite us to do something like this?" Yao Shula muttered to herself.

Miao Yamin also sighed.

"Yes, I asked my mom too, why didn't she bring you and me along? She could have broadened our horizons too!"

"Guess what my mom said?" Miao Yamin moved closer to Yao Shula.

"What did Auntie say? Did she say we're busy and she's afraid it will delay our plans?" Yao Shula asked hurriedly.

Miao Yamin sighed.

"My mom said it's not a good thing that the two of us are so interested in this kind of thing now."

I didn't want to date in the first place, and after something like this happened, I'm even less inclined to.

My mom even lectured me, saying that the man Chun Nian found was a cautionary tale, and that if a woman chooses the wrong partner, her whole life can be ruined.

Sigh, my mom and grandma are quite worried about us. They say we're both old enough, but...

"Never mind, I won't talk about it anymore. Just thinking about it reminds me of my mom sighing all the time."

Yao Shula laughed twice.

Isn't what my aunt meant by being afraid that the two of them are afraid of marriage?

"Auntie, don't worry. If a good match comes along, we'll consider getting married. After all, we've never been married before, so it's worth a try. If it doesn't work out, we can just get a divorce."

Miao Yamin agreed, saying that it's worth considering if a good match comes along.

But... good partners are hard to find!

"Hey, what about that three hundred yuan? That's what Sister Chunian earned from working hard day and night, there can't be no explanation!" Yao Shula asked about the issue she was concerned about.

Miao Yamin quickly added two more sentences.

"We definitely need to talk about the money. My grandma and my mom specifically mentioned it."

Old Zhang's family agreed to repay the money within a week, but Grandma and Aunt didn't care where the money came from.

As long as the money is paid back, that's fine.

Chunian is already looking for a place to live. She told her aunt that she doesn't want to run a stall anymore and wants to open a shop instead, so she won't be exposed to the wind and sun.

Yao Shula said "Oh," and that opening a shop was better than setting up a small stall.

After finishing this matter, Miao Yamin talked to Yao Shula about some other things.

For example, she asked Yao Shuxin's homeroom teacher and even treated the teacher to two meals. The homeroom teacher said that Yao Shuxin was very outstanding and once again ranked first in the grade in the midterm exam.

"Teacher Zhao said that Shuxin is good in every way, except that she doesn't talk much. No matter when you see her, she always has a book in her hand."

Yao Shula was very satisfied.

That's right. If she keeps at it, Yao Shuxin will definitely be able to get into a good university in two and a half years.

"Cousin, thank you!" Yao Shula said sincerely.

Miao Yamin snorted.

"You're thanking me? Shuxin is my cousin too, isn't it right for me to show some concern?"

Oh, do you remember me telling you about Zhou Ping'an's distant cousin next door? That girl is a junior in high school, and her grades are pretty good, in the top ten of her grade. As long as nothing goes wrong in her senior year, she should be able to get into university.

"Really? That's really great. Last time I went to Grandma Zhou's house to exchange coal briquettes, Grandma Zhou talked about her grandniece, saying that it wasn't easy for her, as she grew up with her grandfather since she was little."

Ah, children from poor families mature early!

...

Inside the house, Yao Shuli and Xiao Tiantian had finished their homework, and neither of them went out without tacitly agreeing to stay inside.

When my cousin Yamin is around, the first thing she'll ask them is, "Have you finished your homework?" Then she'll casually ask how their grades are going and whether they've been studying hard...

Tian Tian wasn't afraid, but Yao Shuli was still a little guilty.

To stay with Yao Shuli, Xiao Tiantian had no choice but to stay home.

"What are my older sister and cousin talking about? They seem to be having a great time!" Yao Shuli said, resting her chin on her hand.

Little Tiantian leaned against the window, looking towards her two older sisters.

"It must be something to do with Sister Chun Nian's family, but it could also be something else."

I overheard my older sister talking to Grandma Zhou that day. It seemed like my older sister said, "It's so tiring to date these days, who wants to date?" Xiao Tiantian said.

“That’s true, the time spent dating is not as good as going out and having fun!” Yao Shuli also said.

Xiao Tiantian rolled her eyes at Yao Shuli.

"You can't say that. If you find dating one person too tiring, then date ten or eight. There's bound to be one that won't make you tired."

Yao Shuli...
