My parents and brother didn't know about my divorce at first, after all, the situation of my mother's family was not good at that time, and a brother who was incapacitated by a serious injury was enough to make my parents sad, and my father was also in very bad health at that time, and I didn't want to irritate the two old people anymore.

When I divorced, in addition to a small house, at the same time, I had nearly 100,000 yuan of private money during my marriage with Deng Wenliang, which was originally reserved for our small family, with a little income from me, and some money that Deng Wenliang handed over to me every month, and I saved it when I couldn't spend it.

Originally, with this amount of money, I was not busy looking for a job, so I could carefully consider the position that suited me, but the so-called house leak happened to be rainy, and when I just quit my job and was about to look for a job, my father fell ill again, and the early symptoms of stroke were very dangerous.

Because of the situation at that time, a sick brother couldn't help at all, and my mother was already in her old age, and it was impossible to accompany the bed to take care of the patient, so I took care of my father in the hospital during the time he was admitted to the hospital, and half of my savings were spent on my father's medical expenses, because some special drugs cannot be reimbursed by medical insurance.

In this way, after my father's condition is stable and he is discharged from the hospital, I will have to be busy looking for the next job, because I have not much savings in my hands, and I must have a decent income to support my future life, and at the same time, I also want to obtain custody of my daughter Tongtong, so I need a stable and decent job.

However, after several interviews, I became more and more disappointed.

Because my actual situation at that time was not optimistic, my age was close to 35 years old, and I had been at home for more than three years, although these three years were nominally part-time accounting work in Shen Tianlin's company, but in fact, this part-time work experience was not accepted by the regular company, and they would automatically identify this experience as being idle at home.

Formal large enterprises, very important to the employee's previous career experience, you have been idle at home for more than three years of a woman in her thirties, in the workplace can be said to be uncompetitive, a little famous enterprise will think that your previous home experience makes you decoupled from society, can not engage in high-precision financial work; private small enterprises are very old, they generally put the entry age stuck under 30 years old, because they recruit accounting personnel not only to engage in financial work, but also to do some other work part-time in the office, they need young people who are in the prime of life, so the age of such enterprise employees is generally under 30 years old, so that so, a woman in her thirties like me is not dominant again.

So I had an unprecedented problem, and I couldn't find a suitable job for a while.

Back to Shen Tianlin's company?

Of course, this idea is not feasible, not to mention what he thinks about me, just to say that the resignation was proposed by myself, as the so-called good horse does not eat the grass, for the only bit of backbone in my heart, I can't eat the grass.

However, if I didn't return to Shen Tianlin's company, I really couldn't find a job that could match the salary he gave me for a while.

During this period, I was very hesitant in my heart, and I was always wondering what I should do next.

Because I came out to look for a job at my age, I belonged to a more embarrassing group, and compared to those young people in their early twenties who had only graduated from college for a few years, I was definitely not competitive.

And my experience of being at home for a few years also made it difficult for me to enter some large-scale enterprises, and I could only enter some relatively informal small enterprises, which meant that the salary was not too high.

At that time, I always had the idea of doing something on my own, starting slowly like a small business, and Haichao has always been by my side to give me advice, we had an idea to open a fast food restaurant, but after a few plans, we felt that it was not feasible.

At this time, a friend from other places that Haichao knew, because his wife was going to give birth to a child, and the family of three wanted to go back to his hometown, so he wanted to sell the Malatang shop that was opened next to a bustling street in an urban village.

The location of the store is located in an urban village, which has long been included in the scope of urban planning, so sooner or later it will be demolished, but as long as the government does not come to force the demolition, this kind of place will be very prosperous, and it is a good place to make money, and it is very popular.

Because there are many cheap rental houses around the urban villages, and there are many cheap snack bars on both sides of the streets, these conditions are meeting the needs of a large number of migrant workers living in the city, and Haichao and I are interested in the cheap rent and a large number of people here, and the rent here is much cheaper than the regular commercial shops in the city, which is suitable for small businesses like us who are going to the sea for the first time.

Now that the idea was decided, we immediately put it into practice, and the lease agreement for the store was quickly finalized, and the rent was paid by me personally, because the store was generally run by me, and Haichao was only a symbolic entry point, in fact, she was mainly helping me.

After the house was rented, we found someone to clean up briefly, painted the walls, and made a bright plaque, this kind of place does not pay attention to any luxurious decoration at all, and there are some low-paid migrant workers living around, so as long as it is simple and practical, clean and neat.

We bought some necessary supplies for opening a Malatang shop from the original owner, such as tables, chairs, dishes, refrigerators, freezers, etc., as well as some tools for making Malatang, which saved us from buying again, and in addition, we added some necessary daily necessities.

In the process of doing this, Haichao helped me go to the industrial and commercial, taxation and other departments to go through the relevant store opening procedures, because she is much more familiar with the network in all aspects than me, and I really want to thank her, a good friend who has never known her life, and helped me a lot at that time.

There is a vegetable market next to the urban village, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, fresh meat and poultry, so it is very convenient for me to open a Malatang shop to purchase channels, and I also recruited a little girl from Sichuan to help me from the Internet.

One sunny day, our little shop finally opened!

The door of our shop is usually open, and there is a row of shelves of shabu-shabu at the door, and the soup in it is prepared by me according to the secret recipe provided by the original owner.

The shop is small in size, and in addition to the necessary items in the refrigerator and freezer, there are also four small square tables, and some customers like to sit down and eat, so they will come into the store and sit down and eat slowly, and we also offer some small pickles with unique flavors.

The little girl I hired was mainly responsible for greeting the customers in the store and then helping me with everything or something.

To open this kind of snack bar, you can't be afraid of hardship, because if you want to make more money, you have to get up early and be greedy and can't be lazy.

Every morning, I arrive at seven o'clock to prepare for the day and welcome customers.

In the evening, we usually don't finish work until about nine o'clock, and when we encounter holidays with a lot of people, we have to follow the end of work.

At the same time, my working environment is mainly outdoors, so it will definitely damage a woman's appearance.

But I didn't think about it at all, until this moment I really felt that the beauty of a woman didn't mean much to me anymore, and I just wanted to eat a bowl of food that I could with my own hands.

After all, I encountered the biggest tribulation in my life, first divorced, and then unemployed, and I didn't have much money in my hands at that time, and I was repeatedly frustrated to find a job that matched my major, and all aspects of the situation forced me to find a well-paid job as soon as possible, and this snack bar was just right for me at that time.

As long as this kind of small shop is willing to endure hardships, the income is quite good, and it can be said that the small business has small profits but quick turnover.

Because of this, I gritted my teeth and opened this small shop, and during that time, every night when I came home, my back hurt as if I had fallen apart, and the hard work was self-evident.

However, at the end of each month, when I was thinking about the net profit of the month, the bitterness in my heart was swept away, because the great joy of the harvest had completely replaced the hard work I had endured before.

One Saturday afternoon, hazy weather and foggy feeling.

On this day, because the surrounding migrant workers and students are at home during the holidays, our business is very good, and it can be said that we are too busy.

The Sichuan girl I recruited was named Xiaomei, who spoke Mandarin with a Sichuan flavor, and helped me greet customers warmly in the store, while I was busy in front of the shabu-shabu rack.

At this time, I didn't notice at all that there was a person standing about a meter away from me, watching me for a long time.

It wasn't until the customer in front of me had dispersed that I took the time to look up at the man, when I had noticed that there was a person who seemed to be looking at me all the time, but didn't have time to look up at him.

Now, when I finally looked up and took a serious look at the man, I was stunned.

Because, he is Ye Xing.
