Chapter 295 The Brave Qin Yue
While Chu Dashu was trying to garner positive reviews for his jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), Qin Yue approached Lin Liuyi.
"You're divorced?" Lin Liuyi was extremely shocked. She thought Zhou Qiao was the one who got divorced first.
After all, the other party's career is booming right now, and Lin Liuyi thinks that the other party is developing in the direction of becoming a domineering CEO.
Qin Yue gave a bitter smile. "Yes, we're divorced."
Actually, Qin Yue didn't want a divorce.
She used to be an extremely traditional woman, dedicating everything to her family.
But recently the child's father came looking for her and immediately told her to go home.
"I'm not going back! I've found work here, I'm staying!" Qin Yue didn't want to go back.
"If you stay here, what will happen to the family? Who will do the housework?" The father frowned, not understanding why his wife had become so unruly after coming out on this trip.
"Lulu, everything's fine now, isn't it? If you're not going home, An'an is still at home. Don't you want your son?"
Hearing the man mention his eldest son, Qin Yue wavered.
"If you ask me, why is Lulu, a girl, still studying in the city? If anyone should be studying, it should be An'an. An'an is a son, and he'll be the one to carry on the family line!"
Hearing her husband say that, Qin Yue's restless heart suddenly became firm.
A son has his father, but a daughter only has herself.
Listening to the man's rambling, Qin Yue suddenly thought of the young woman at the company who talked about divorce every day.
"Let's get a divorce!" Qin Yue couldn't believe she had said those words so easily.
When her family wanted to give up on Lulu, she was angry and thought about it.
But she was afraid. How could she, a rural woman, afford medical treatment for her daughter and support herself and her daughter after getting divorced?
Now that her daughter has recovered and she has found a job, divorce doesn't seem like an impossible option.
Qin Yue thought that her salary could support her daughter for the time being, and she would find some part-time jobs on weekends. As long as she worked hard, it seemed that she could make a living in the big city.
Qin Yue's idea was quite good, but her husband immediately got angry after hearing her words.
"Qin Yue, you've really grown up! You've only been out for a short time and you're already thinking about divorce. What, do you think you're some kind of city person? You're still just a street sweeper!"
Hearing the man's derogatory words, Qin Yue couldn't bear it any longer.
"What's wrong with me sweeping the floor? The sweeping company pays me a salary. Have you ever paid me for doing housework at home?"
"Do you think I don't charge you for food and drinks?"
"Did I eat or drink anything fancy? I've been scrimping and saving at home, and you won't even spend the money you've saved on our daughter's medical treatment. She's our own daughter! Are you just going to watch her die like this!"
At this moment, Qin Yue was like an angry lion; she was filled with hatred.
She hated these people from the bottom of her heart ever since they told her to throw her daughter away. Didn't they have money to treat her illness?
Qin Yue knew that even if it wasn't 50, they must have saved at least half of that amount over the years.
But they didn't even offer to try it; they just told her to throw it away.
That was her own child, a blood relative, born after ten months of pregnancy. How could she bear to part with him?
So what if she's a girl? Since she brought her daughter into this world, she should treat her well.
Upon hearing Qin Yue's question, the man stammered and spoke up.
"It's just a girl, spending so much money, in the end it'll just benefit someone else!"
"What, do you think your son will be filial? He even abandoned his sick sister. Don't you know how he'll treat you in the future?" Qin Yue looked at him sarcastically.
"Impossible! An'an is our son, and sons are supposed to take care of us in our old age! That's only natural!" The man simply didn't believe it.
"Then let's get a divorce. You want your son, I want my daughter! You believe your son will take care of you in your old age, and I believe my daughter will take care of me in my old age too!"
"Qin Yue, you're a girl, and you'd abandon your family for another girl!" The man was incredulous, thinking she was out of her mind.
"It was you who refused to show yourselves first!"
The man got angry when he saw that Qin Yue was determined to get a divorce.
"Fine, let's get a divorce. You don't want the son, but don't regret it! How are you, a janitor, going to support the two of you?"
"I won't regret it, and I hope you won't either! As for how we've survived, we've managed to get by without you both!"
"you you!"
Seeing that he couldn't reason with him, the man could only slink away.
"So, I went home and divorced him! Surprisingly, I feel a bit relieved after the divorce."
Qin Yue was a little sad about the divorce, after all, she had spent half her life in that home.
But looking at her indifferent son, her angry husband, and the villagers' pointing fingers, Qin Yue felt she had done the right thing.
She can't stay here any longer for her daughter's sake.
She couldn't allow anyone to abandon her daughter again. So what if the two of them depended on each other for survival? So what if she could only clean for others for the rest of her life? As long as her daughter was happy, that was all that mattered.
"Sister Yue, you're being too pessimistic. Don't worry, with your skills, you'll definitely live a good life. Not only should your daughter be happy, but you should be happy too!"
To be honest, Lin Liuyi was quite surprised.
Rural women like Qin Yue find it very difficult to make the decision to divorce.
Because they always have too many concerns—concerns about their children, their inability to earn money, and the presence of crickets—many women would rather endure it all their lives than get a divorce.
Lin Liuyi thought of her former colleague, an older sister, whose husband was clearly having an affair and even using her money to support his mistress, yet she still endured it and didn't get a divorce.
Lin Liuyi just couldn't understand why that older woman, a local from Beijing, owned a house, her husband was still living in their house, and she herself had a decent salary, would still stubbornly refuse to get a divorce.
The older sister herself is still upset and unhappy every day, especially when her husband doesn't come home, she feels even worse.
Everyone in the office advised her to get a divorce, but she refused no matter what. Finally, when they pressed her hard enough, she revealed her reasons for not getting a divorce.
It turned out she was afraid her neighbors would gossip about her behind her back, saying she was a divorced woman no one wanted.
So the eldest sister would rather endure the injustice than compromise the facade of harmony.
In Lin Liuyi's opinion, this is just being stubborn and suffering for the sake of saving face. What good will it do to kill the cricket?
Now I feel much better from all this frustration. That older woman ended up getting sick from all that frustration.
We've been reforming and opening up for so many years now, what's there to be afraid of in getting a divorce? It's not her fault, it's just that this older woman can't see things clearly.
In Lin Liuyi's opinion, Qin Yue was very brave.
She dared to bring her daughter to see a doctor when she knew nothing about her, and even dared to trust the medicine she gave her when she didn't know what kind of person she was.
Now she has bravely divorced and dares to start a new life with her daughter!
