"Thunder, could you please keep an eye on your sister while I prepare some delicious food for you?" Auntie said as she brought Ye Ting over. It was another Sunday, and Hao Chunying had come to visit.
"Okay," Ye Ting replied cheerfully as he sat on the heated bed.
Once the children were settled, Ye Fangfei pulled Hao Chunying into the kitchen.
"Mom, what's going on? You look unwell," Ye Fangfei asked.
"Your brother and Yi Xiaoli got divorced yesterday," Hao Chunying dropped the bombshell.
Although Ye Fangfei knew that Ye Zijun and Yi Xiaoli had been arguing about divorce, she never thought it would actually happen. After all, in this day and age, very few dared to get divorced; it was indeed a rare occurrence. Moreover, they had a child together.
"They really got divorced? Yi Xiaoli agreed?" Ye Fangfei was surprised, knowing that Yi Xiaoli had always been reluctant to end the marriage.
"Sigh, she had no choice. Her family pressured her," Hao Chunying explained. "I just wanted to teach her a lesson so that she'd think twice about how she treats her family."
It's normal to care for one's family, as long as one knows how to balance it. I'm not unreasonable. If it's within one's means to provide a little food or drink for their family, that's only right. I understand this well myself, being a daughter and having a daughter of my own.
"But there’s a premise: it shouldn’t affect your own family's life. Remember, you must honor your father and me without compromising your own household," Hao Chunying advised.
"I understand. But you still haven't told me what happened with Yi Xiaoli's family," Ye Fangfei asked curiously.
Mentioning this made Hao Chunying even angrier. "Hmph! Their eldest just graduated from middle school, right? He didn’t get into high school. You know how the government encourages unemployed middle and high school graduates to go work in the countryside."
"If he doesn’t want to go to the countryside, then finding a job is his only option."
For some time now, Yi Xiaoli's family had been trying to find him work. But jobs aren’t easy to come by; it’s been almost half a year without any sign of employment.
However, the street office was pressing hard, and the Yi family started to consider having Yi Xiaoli transfer her job to her brother.
This time, though, Yi Xiaoli was quite resolute and refused to comply.
After a stalemate of half a month, someone offered to sell a job, which caught the attention of the Yi family. Naturally, they wouldn't let this opportunity slip by and wanted to purchase the position.
However, the seller demanded too much—exactly one thousand yuan—which the Yi family simply couldn't afford. Even if they could scrape together that amount, they were reluctant to part with such a large sum of money. So, they sent Yi Xiaoli to ask your brother for five yuan.
Your brother was, of course, unwilling; not only did he not have five yuan, but this also reaffirmed the fact that the Yi family was a bottomless pit. This strengthened Ye Zijun's resolve to divorce Yi Xiaoli.
Seeing that they couldn't get any money from your brother, Yi Xiaoli's mother began urging her to divorce him. I suspect her parents must have already found a new match for her, hoping to use her bride price to buy a job for their son.
Isn't it? Did Yi Xiaoli really agree to this?
