222 Chapter 222 Separation

Zhou Ying invited them to sit down and asked, “What would you like to drink? I’ll go prepare.”

“Anything as you see fit; we’ll have anything.” Mrs. Wang replied absentmindedly.

“Sure, please wait a moment.” Zhou Ying turned around and went to the kitchen to prepare a pot of chrysanthemum tea for them; she also called for Gu Chengrui.

After exchanging a few polite greetings, Gu Chengrui sat down and asked, “How’s big sister’s health? Is she feeling better?”

“Sorry for troubling you, but I’m fine now.” Gu Ziyi nodded and replied expressionlessly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Wang immediately wiped away her tears. Zhou Ying was shocked and quickly asked, “Aunty, why are you crying? Just tell us what you need. We’ll definitely help you if we can.”

“I’m crying about how I was blind back then to have found such a bastard for your sister.” Mrs. Wang said as she burst into tears.

“Mother, this isn’t your fault. This is just my fate.” Gu Ziyi comforted her.

Gu Chengrui was stunned. “Did eldest brother-in-law do something wrong?” He asked.

“You don’t have a brother-in-law any more. We’re divorced.” Gu Ziyi immediately turned her head and chided him.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she immediately patted her hand and said, “How can you speak to Chengrui like that? You shouldn’t take your anger out on him.”

“I just don’t want to talk about that bastard anymore.”

“What about the child? Did you bring them back?” Zhou Ying asked.

“I’ve brought them back. From now on, Huanhuan and Lele will live with me.

“I’m here to ask you to introduce me to a broker. I want to buy a house, two shops, and some land in town as soon as possible.”

“But it’s not a good year for running a business. You can buy a house, but I think you should wait a while to buy shops and land.” Zhou Ying advised.

“It hadn’t rained since the last heavy snow, and the water level in the river is almost at the bottom. It was really not worth it to buy any land now.”

“Yes, yes. Ying, please help me persuade your sister.

“I want her to build a house in the village so we can take care of her. Otherwise, I’m really worried about her living alone in town with two little girls.”

“Mother, don’t mention this again. I won’t live in the village.” Gu Ziyi frowned.

“Is it because of your dignity?” Gu Chengrui asked.

“I… It doesn’t look good.” Gu Ziyi paused for a moment before she nodded.

“But can you avoid it for the rest of your life?”

“That’s right. You are divorced, but we look down on you just because of that. Why do you have to move out?” Mrs. Wang asked in confusion.

“But we have another sister-in-law at home, and our second brother will be getting married in a month. I don’t want to mess up his marriage.”

“Didn’t your father and brother say that if their family gives up on the marriage because of this, then it’s fine if the marriage doesn’t happen.” Mrs. Wang said hurriedly.

After that, she looked at Zhou Ying and her husband and quickly gave them a look. She was asking them to help persuade Gu Ziyi.

“Sister, do you know about the elder sister of the Tian family next door?

“She’s also divorced, and now she’s living with her two daughters at her mother’s old house.

“The villagers rarely gossip about them. Instead, they would claim that Brother Tian was caring and righteous in looking after them.

“These two years, through our untiring efforts, they’ve been living quite well. Two days ago, someone even came to propose marriage.” Zhou Ying explained.

“That’s right, Ziyi, the people in our village are good people.” Mrs. Wang echoed.

“Big sister, do you know what the situation was like when we first returned to the village?

“At that time, we were tied up and escorted back to the village. We were in a much worse state than you are now.

“In addition, we implicated the Gu clan. At that time, all of them were so pissed. But in the end, didn’t we survive and integrate into the village?

“That’s why the people in our village are quite kind.

“As long as you’re not afraid and face it bravely, there’s nothing that can’t be solved.” Gu Chengrui ended
