Shanghai Huangpu, French Concession.

The French Concession is still brightly lit at night. In a western-style building, a young woman is leaning on the sofa reading a newspaper. After seeing the ending, she angrily threw the newspaper to the man next to her.

"Tianqi, look at the scolding in the newspaper. So, it's still better to be good to the original match, and don't always think about some indiscreet women. ”

"Shiyun, don't talk nonsense."

"Am I talking nonsense?" The woman stood up, pointed at the man and said, "Yu Tianqi, don't think I don't know, you recently found someone to go back to inquire about that woman." ”

When Yu Tianqi heard this, she stood up in surprise, with a little anger on Junya's face, "How do you know?" ”

"Uncle Yu sued me." Wu Shiyun said confidently, "What, do you still want to investigate?" Yu Tianqi, you are a person with a wife, think about Xin'er. She's only four years old, are you going to make her a fatherless child? ”

When Yu Tianqi heard her daughter's name, a painful look appeared on her face.

"If you still want to make your parents angry, make Xin'er sad, and tear our family apart, you can go to Jiangnan Province to find that woman."

Seeing Yu Tianqi holding his head, Wu Shiyun was also a little distressed, walked over and touched his shoulder, and said softly, "Tianqi, you still have us." We are family. Are you going to leave our family behind for the sake of a woman? ”

Yu Tianqi rubbed his head fiercely, the bruises on his face burst out, and his face was painful, he took a deep breath, "Don't worry, I won't go again." ”

Wu Shiyun listened to his promise, and her face suddenly smiled like a flower, "Tianqi, our family will definitely be happy." ”

Yu Tianqi had no joy on his face, he looked at the gray light outside the window, and sighed in his heart, after all these years, maybe she has already been married.

Ruan Huizhen lay comfortably on the bed in the hotel, reading a series of scolding from the newspaper.

Of course, there are those who support her, and there are those who criticize her. But the voices that support her are dominant.

She also thought about the fact that she chose to publish these truths in the form of stories instead of directly in her real identity. If you go directly to the newspaper to break the news, others will only read it as a gossip new article, and it will not attract much attention. , I'm afraid there will be people who say that she is vexatious. In the form of a story, the effect is different.

Others will preconceived about putting themselves into the role of the heroine, empathizing with her experience, and when the time is ripe, they will find that this woman is real, and their feelings will naturally be more profound.

So far, things have gone her way. Ruan Huizhen tossed the newspaper aside, sorted out her hair and clothes, and went out with her bag.

She was already preparing to leave the provincial capital, but she still wanted to help inquire about Xiaohui's father. After all, Lin Hui's mother and son have waited for so many years, and it is indeed quite pitiful.

However, even a provincial capital like the Yu family is not eye-catching in a place like Shanghai. So I couldn't find any news for a while. Ruan Huizhen didn't want to wait any longer, so she simply went to find a private detective and asked the detective to continue the search here, and she went directly back to the provincial capital.

This time I went back to the provincial capital by myself, and I had to take care of myself on the way. However, Ruan Huizhen's mood is much better than when she came to Shanghai.

Although the divorce did not make Lu Canwen and Lin Xiuran ruined, at least it was nerve-wracking. When we meet again in the future, it will be these two people who have no face to see her.

After the incident in the newspaper broke out, Lu Canwen still asked someone to look for Ruan Huizhen in Shanghai. However, Ruan Huizhen has not been heard from since she left the courtyard of the Lu family, and she has never appeared again.

"Canwen, what else are you looking for her, I think she deliberately made these things. Such a scheming woman used to be so good at disguise. ”

Lin Xiuran sat on the bed with a haggard face and watched and cried, after she was scolded out of the yard by Mrs. Lu last time, she went to school the next day, and was talked about by the students again, and the teacher in the office also talked about it in front of her, without the usual respect at all.

Lin Xiuran has always been praised by others, but now she is scolded behind her back by the fox spirit, scolded viciously, and some people say that she is the outer room of being raised, which is feasible.

The key is that Lu Canwen is still looking for that woman, which really makes her feel even more sad.

"Canwen, do you regret it, regret divorcing her?"

Lu Canwen's face was already covered with blue and black stubble, and he took a deep breath at this time, "Xiuran, I thought about this matter clearly later, I did something wrong about this matter." I'm sorry Nguyen Hoi Jin. ”

"Canwen, do you really regret being with me?" Lin Xiuran looked incredulous.

"No, I have no regrets. Xiuran, you are my soul mate, and I will never change that. ”

Seeing Lu Canwen say this with a firm face, Lin Xiuran was finally relieved. "Then what are you sorry for her?" Now it's obvious that she and Canwen are gossiping.

Lu Canwen said, "Although I don't regret marrying you. But in this matter, I am indeed sorry for Ruan Huizhen. I didn't know that in the years when I was away, her life with her mother would be so difficult. If I had known, I would have treated her in a more appropriate way. In the past few days, I heard my mother say that she and Ruan Huizhen were hungry in their hometown and couldn't eat, and I felt really guilty. I also want to understand why Ruan Huizhen hates him so much.

"Now she hasn't suffered a loss, and if she makes this thing like this, she will walk away herself." Lin Xiuran pouted. A feudal product that doesn't understand anything really doesn't have the overall situation at all, so it has to be so embarrassing.

Lu Canwen shook his head, "Forget it, let's just take it as if we owe her." We won't mention her anymore. ”

Ruan Huizhen didn't know that Lu Canwen was still looking for her. At this time, the train from Shanghai had just arrived in the provincial capital. She stepped off the train with her little baggage and walked home with her little feet.

Thanks to the space water, now that she drinks it, she doesn't feel uncomfortable at all, and she doesn't even feel tired. When she got off the bus, she was the most energetic in the whole carriage.

Lin Hui didn't know that she was coming back, so she didn't come to pick her up. Ruan Huizhen didn't want to walk with a pair of small feet, so she found a rickshaw and went back to the shop directly.

The shop of Jixiang Vinegar Factory was rented for a year, and she also planned to complete the Lu family and things within a year, and now things are going well, and it will be done in less than two months. Ruan Huizhen pondered in her heart that the vinegar workshop couldn't be so lukewarm. This is the first step for her to settle down, and she has to take a step to do it.

When Ruan Huizhen arrived at the door of the vinegar factory, Xiaohui was practicing calligraphy on the chair at the mouth of the house, and when he felt that someone was coming, he raised his head and said, "How much vinegar do you want?" ”

When he saw Ruan Huizhen standing in front of him, he opened his mouth wide in surprise, and then ran over from the chair with a face full of surprise, and hugged Ruan Huizhen's thigh, "Sister Huizhen, you're back!" ”

In Xiao Hui's few memories, Ruan Huizhen is the best person for him. After Ruan Huizhen left these days, he has been thinking about it in his heart. But his mother said that it would be better if Sister Huizhen didn't come back. He didn't understand what it meant, but he still secretly hoped that Sister Huizhen would come back. Now seeing that she is really back, Xiaoxin is very excited, "Sister Huizhen, I miss you." ”

Ruan Huizhen touched his little furry head, "I miss you too." What about your mother? ”

"My mother went to deliver the goods, we opened a new restaurant nearby, the business is good, said that our vinegar is good, let us send it every month." This is the first month. Xiaohui said proudly. She knew that this shop belonged to Sister Huizhen, and if the business was good, Sister Huizhen would definitely be happy.

Ruan Huizhen didn't expect the shop to find a fixed big customer, and she was also happy, so she pulled Xiaohui into the house, "Okay, then let's wait for your mother to come back." ”

After Ruan Huizhen put the things away, she looked at the situation of the shop again.

Lin Hui is a very good worker, and she organizes the shop in an orderly manner. The floors, shelves, and vat of vinegar are very clean.

Xiaohui didn't want to study anymore, and followed her side after her, "Sister Huizhen, is Shanghai fun, is it big, is there a big provincial city?" Have you seen my dad? ”

Since childhood, he has often heard about Shanghai, and the child's heart is naturally very curious and yearning, especially knowing that his father, who has never met before, is in Shanghai, and he has a kind of expectation in his heart.

Ruan Huizhen said with a smile, "Shanghai is bigger, much bigger than the provincial capital." There are so many people in Shanghai, I really haven't seen your father. But I've dragged my friend to find your father, and I might find out about him soon. So Xiaohui must study hard, and your father will definitely be very happy to know that Xiaohui knows so much. ”

"Really?" Xiaohui's eyes were shining. The round face raised for a while is like a small bun, red and fluttering, very cute.

Ruan Huizhen pinched her face, "Of course it's true." ”

"Then I'll study now, I know a lot of words." Xiaohui hurriedly ran to the chair to continue learning words.

Ruan Huizhen smiled and was about to go into the house when Lin Hui went home. She looked a little wolf-like, and her face was a little flustered.

Seeing Ruan Huizhen coming back, her face was shocked at first, and then she said happily, "Huizhen, you're back." ”

Ruan Huizhen greeted her and looked her up and down, "What's wrong with you?" ”

It doesn't look like a delivery. Lin Hui showed a hint of panic on her face, "No, I'm fine, it's just a little trouble." ”

"It's okay." Although Ruan Huizhen didn't believe it, she didn't want to say it herself, so she didn't ask much.

However, Lin Hui entered the store, and after resting for a while, she suddenly remembered something and said in surprise, "Why did you come back, your mother-in-law and husband allowed you to come back and open the store?" ”

Ruan Huizhen was peeling fruit, and when she heard this, she raised her head and smiled faintly, "Didn't you already guess something?" ”

Lin Hui was stunned, "They're not good to you?" ”

Ruan Huizhen said calmly, "It's nothing, in fact, I have been prepared for a long time." He is alone outside, how can he still be as guarded as jade. It's also normal to have women around. It's just that I didn't expect that he couldn't accept me as a wife at all. ”

"Huizhen......" Lin Hui's eyes flashed with sympathy. When Ruan Huizhen left before, she had been worried. After all, Ruan Huizhen's husband does seem to be very high-spirited, and Huizhen has been staying in the countryside and has only arrived in the provincial capital not long ago. When the two get along like this, she is very worried that Ruan Huizhen will be hurt.

Unexpectedly, her worries really came true.

Ruan Huizhen smiled, "Don't pity me. I don't feel sad at all, but relieved. You know, I used to stay in the countryside to take care of the old lady, and I didn't even dare to go out. Now that I'm alone, it's convenient. And this time I went to Shanghai is not without gains, do you know, after I went to Shanghai, I found out that women can also make a career, and women can also take a leave of absence from men. Now is the Republic of China, not the era of big braids in the past, and we women can also hold up half the sky. ”

Seeing that Ruan Huizhen was really not a little sad and sad, Lin Hui was also relieved, and she was very surprised when she heard Ruan Huizhen talk about these strange things, "Really, women can be the same as men?" ”

"Of course, we women are not delicate flowers, as long as we want, we can also become towering trees." She stretched out her little feet, "I went to Shanghai this time and found that many people were looking at my little feet curiously. The women were not small-footed, they wore dresses, hats, parasols, and high heels. The heels are tall and very thin, and I don't know how to walk. ”

Lin Hui listened with a yearning expression. Although the provincial capital has also seen it, but after all, there are not many. It was a different world than her.

Ruan Huizhen continued, "Although I can't wear high heels with small feet, I can still wear Western clothes. You see my hair is cut short, and I'm going to perm it after a while. We're going to get some of it stylish, too. She looked at Lin Hui, "Let's go together another day." ”

Lin Hui was excited again, and when she heard Ruan Huizhen invite her to perm her hair, her face was a little embarrassed, "I'm all mothers." ”

"What's wrong with being a mother, aren't you only in your twenties, young. Those Shanghai actresses are still wearing lipstick at the age of thirty. By the way, I also have this thing, and I'll give you a box of it. ”

Lin Hui blushed and nodded, and looked at Ruan Huizhen again, "I feel that you have really changed a lot when you went to Shanghai this time." ”

Ruan Huizhen is as good as a stream, "If you are poor, you will think about change, and you will not be able to do it." She had a look of emotion on her face.

Lin Hui thought that she had experienced a blow, but now that she wanted to open it, she didn't feel strange. I only felt that Ruan Huizhen was much stronger than she imagined. If it was her, if Xiaohui's father betrayed her...... She shuddered, she couldn't imagine it.

In order to celebrate Ruan Huizhen's return, Lin Hui plans to cook a few good dishes at home to celebrate. Ruan Huizhen was not happy, so she simply closed the shop and went out to eat together.

Seeing that Lin Hui was reluctant to do business, she said, "Don't worry, I'm back, and I will definitely think of ways to make the shop's business better." Now all we have to do is have a good meal. ”

Xiaohui also touched his stomach and kept saliva. He'd never eaten out. Well, except for the time when I robbed Sister Zhen before.

Seeing this, Lin Hui was not disappointed, and closed the door with a smile. Ruan Hui went to the newly opened small restaurant. After all, now that I have established a long-term cooperative relationship with my own store, it is newly opened, and it is also good to have a cheerleading relationship. Lin Hui's face changed, and she said unnaturally, "You already know about this?" ”

"Xiaohui told me, this is a good thing."

Lin Hui lowered her head and squeaked, "This business is not successful, people, people regret it." ”

Seeing Lin Hui's embarrassed face, Ruan Huizhen said, "What's wrong?" ”

"When I delivered today, those people were not very good, and I offended them, so I ......"

Listening to Lin Hui's words, coupled with Lin Hui's expression, Ruan Huizhen could probably guess what was going on. Lin Hui has always had a good temperament and cares about business. If it weren't for the bottom line, she would never have given up such a long-term business.

She patted Lin Hui on the shoulder, "It's okay, we don't rely on their family to eat, this business is not uncommon for me." Let's go, let's go and eat first, and when we come back, we'll make a lot of money in total. ”

"I'm sorry, Huizhen." Lin Hui said guiltily.

"Oops, it's okay. Don't think about it, isn't it just a small restaurant business, what's so remarkable. If you do this again, I won't want to eat later. "If she weren't weak now, she would have to teach that scum a lesson.

Lin Hui pursed her lips and smiled, "Hmm." ”

Naturally, I didn't go to that small restaurant to eat. There is no shortage of places to eat in the provincial capital, so the three of them found a shop with a clean environment and ordered a few side dishes.

During the meal, Ruan Huizhen talked to Lin Hui about strange things in Shanghai.

Some of them were what she had seen and heard this time, and some of them were made up by herself. And certainly not for pure bragging. She found that Lin Hui is a little soft now, which is in line with the characteristics of women in this era, but it is not good for future career development. So I also want to subtly let Lin Hui's head contain some new things.

After all, she is really alone in this day and age now. And after Lin Hui got along, she knew that she could be called a white lotus-like character. This is, of course, a compliment. This person has no bad intentions, and he is a person who can be deeply acquainted.

After a meal, Lin Hui's mood finally improved, and after hearing a lot of things about the feminist movement, she quietly had some changes in her heart. Of course, she didn't realize it herself at this time. But that doesn't stop her from yearning for that new life.

Xiaohui's mouth was full of oil, and his little belly was bulging, he took Ruan Huizhen's hand, "Sister Huizhen, you won't leave again in the future, right?" ”

"I'm not leaving." Ruan Huizhen waved her hand. Seeing the little guy's delighted face, she smiled and rubbed the little guy's head. In this era, it is also a thing that makes her feel intimate when someone likes her.

On the way back, Ruan Huizhen and Lin Hui discussed sending Xiaohui to school. Now that there is a school in the provincial capital, children of Xiaohui's age can be sent to study. Although Lin Hui is also literate and can teach Xiaohui, she is not as good as the teachers at school. And when they were busy with their work, they couldn't take care of Xiaohui, so it was not good to delay the child at that time.

Lin Hui didn't dare to think about such a thing before, studying is the treatment of a rich person, and it is a problem for their mother and son to eat. Later, even if Ruan Huizhen opened a store and gave her two ingredients, she didn't dare to think about it. After all, Ruan Huizhen is gone and will not come back. And she won't last long alone. When the store expires a year later, they have to face a dilemma again. But now that Ruan Huizhen mentioned this matter, she was really moved in her heart.

asked Xiaohui if he was willing to go to school, and Xiaohui immediately nodded.

When a child sees someone else carrying a schoolbag all day long, how can he not want to. It's just that I've always been sensible and don't mention it to my mother.

Lin Hui smiled, "Okay, then let's go to school." Go back and mom will make you a nice little school bag. ”

Xiaohui was happy all of a sudden, and ran up and down in front. Ruan Huizhen and Lin Hui were happy to see him like this.

However, Xiaohui ran to the front, and when he was about to reach the door of his shop, he suddenly turned around and ran back in a panic.

"Mom, there are a lot of people around our door, and those people look so fierce."
