Xia Yingying thought she could leave without any burden, but her heart trembled slightly when she heard Lu Haojie's voice.

After all, I have been a parent for some time, and it would not be easy to leave my kids behind.

"I...my mother and I have to go out for a while. You just listen to your father."

Xia Yingying squatted down and touched Lu Haojie's little head.

Lu Haojie nodded, being a stepmother was just a matter of making money.

"Okay." Lu Haojie responded.

Xia Yingying went to the room where Song Ruyi was sleeping. Song Ruyi was feeding Lu Yuwei. When Lu Yurou saw Xia Yingying coming, she gave her a toothless smile and stretched out her short little arms for Xia Yingying to hold her.

Xia Yingying took Lu Yurou and held her in her arms, weighing her.

"Mom, Lu Ziren and I are divorced. Let's move out today."

"What?" Song Ruyi immediately jumped up from the bed.

It's a good thing that my son-in-law is back.

She was hoping that the couple would live happily together, but why did she want to divorce as soon as her son-in-law came back?

He has a new love outside?

This won't do. Her Yingying is so good, how could he abandon her after having sex with her? She has to go and ask him for an explanation.

"Don't worry, mother will seek justice for you in this matter. He actually dared to mess around outside."

Cheating outside? Lu Ziren?

Xia Yingying frowned, and immediately realized that Song Ruyi had misunderstood, so she immediately pulled Song Ruyi's sleeve.

"Mom, you misunderstood. I was the one who took the initiative to ask Lu Ziren for a divorce, and he agreed."

When Song Ruyi heard that it was Xia Yingying who proposed the divorce, she immediately became anxious.

"Yingying, why are you so confused? Ziren is such a good son-in-law, wouldn't it be better for you to live with him honestly? Isn't this what a woman wants in her life? Why did you divorce him?" Song Ruyi said with a regret.

"Mom, I have thought about this divorce carefully. I planned to marry him, but he has no feelings for me. I abused several children. I am sure you have heard the rumors. Those are all facts. I cannot deny them."

"Even if we don't divorce, we're still living together in disguise, which is torture. It's better for us to separate."

"During this period, we have men, but we can still live like this. We can earn money to support ourselves, so don't worry."

Xia Yingying knew that Song Ruyi was doing this for her own good, but a forced marriage would not be happy.

Song Ruyi frowned after hearing what Xia Yingying said. Yes, she can support herself now, and she can still live without a man. However, losing a man also means losing support and losing a home.

"Where will we go after the divorce?" Song Ruyi asked helplessly.

If you don't divorce, you still have a home. If you divorce, you will really have nothing.

But during the time she lived with Xia Yingying, she had already figured out Xia Yingying's temper. No matter what happened, as long as she made up her mind, she would try her best to complete it, even if nine oxen couldn't pull her back.

Xia Yingying was also in trouble about food and accommodation today.

Xiajiazhuang is not far from here, and it is a place we can go back to.

But she won't go back. Song Ruyi even ran away from home and never mentioned going back. This shows that Old Man Xia has gone crazy. If she goes back with the money, wouldn't that be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth?

The second option is to continue living here. The vegetables she grows and the meat she buys are all here. She will just have to pay some rent when the time comes. Lu Ziren shouldn't mind.

But she had divorced Lu Ziren, and it was not her style for her to stay here stubbornly.

Besides, Lu Ziren is a big villain. He is tall and strong and looks very fierce. She might suffer a cardiac arrest if she lives with him.

The final option is to book an inn in the town, stay there for a few days, rent out a suitable yard, and then resume business.

"Mom, let's rent a house in town. After doing business for a while, we will move to the county town."

In fact, she could have gone directly to the county town. The county town was much bigger than the town and there were more opportunities, but for some reason, she didn't want to go now.

I haven’t had time to say goodbye to Lu Haoran and Lu Yuwei.

As their nominal stepmother, at least we know each other. Even if we get divorced, I should tell them and have a farewell dinner with them, so that our acquaintance will not be in vain.

The farewell dinner will have to wait until she rents a yard in town.

Song Ru realized that Xia Yingying had made up her mind, so she nodded and began to pack up.

Going to the county town, can she really go to the county town? She hasn't seen her son for a long time...

Xia Yingying didn't have many things of her own. She only had a few sets of clothes. The jewelry she had splurged on before had been pawned, and she basically didn't wear the clothes the original owner had bought for her, so she sold them as well.

It can be packed in two bags at most.

She barely ate the chickens she raised, the vegetables she grew, the dried goods and bacon she dried...

She originally thought she was too lazy to take them, but then she thought about the considerable expense of moving out. Those things originally belonged to her, so she could leave some for Lu Ziren and the others, but she couldn't just not take any of them. After all, she had spent a lot of effort and money on them.

I ate some of the leeks, but the other vegetables were still very small. Even if I pulled them out, I would have nowhere to plant them.

Xia Yingying picked a few edible vegetables and tender melons, kept half of the dried goods and half of the bacon, and packed up everything else.

She went to Aunt Niu's house in the village to borrow an ox cart. After a while, Niu Dalang came and helped them load the packed things onto the cart.

"Yingying, where are you going?" Niu Dalang asked curiously.

Xia Yingying packed a lot of things. Is she going on a long journey?

"Brother Niu, my mother and I are going to live in town."

Xia Yingying did not tell him the news of her divorce from Lu Ziren.

In the village, a couple usually stays together for their entire lives, and divorce is rare.

Her divorce from Lu Ziren was big news, and she didn't want to be the center of the discussion.

"Oh, you bought a house?" Niu Dalang didn't think about divorce.

Everyone in the village knows that Xia Yingying has made money during this period.

Buying a house so quickly, the pastry business is doing so well that he is a little jealous.

"No, we live in town to make it more convenient for business. We rent a house and cannot afford to buy one." Xia Yingying shook her head.

She plans to buy a house.

If she wants to buy a house, she won't buy it in town, but in the county town.

When Lu Ziren saw Niu Dalang coming in to move things, he immediately understood Xia Yingying's thoughts. He said to Xia Yingying, "Come here."

Xia Yingying walked over and heard Lu Ziren lower his voice and say, "You don't have to move out so quickly. You can stay for a few days and move out slowly."

"No need. We have to move sooner or later, so we might as well move earlier. Anything else?"

Xia Yingying rejected Lu Ziren's kindness and looked up and asked Lu Ziren.
