âI donât agree!â
Daniu shouted, âWhy should she divorce just like that?! Sheâs just a woman. How can she ride on my head?â
Li Enâs face darkened. âThis is a new society! Do you think itâs the past? Even in the past, if you beat your wife to death, the officials will come looking for you! â
Song Xiao, who had been holding back his words, said, âThatâs right! You still have to pay for smashing my glass!â
âCompensate⦠for what?â Daniu asked.
Song Yao said coldly, âI made it very clear before. A piece of glass costs 100 yuan. If you smash two pieces, thatâs 200 yuan. You have to give me the money, right?â
âWhy should I give you money!â Daniu struggled with all his might, wishing he could beat Han Pei up again. However, because he was firmly held down by the police, he was finally brought to the police station.
After everyone left, Song Yao cleaned up the glass shards on the ground.
Although losing two pieces of glass made her heart ache, Han Pei had finally divorced Daniu and could start a new life in the future.
As for the glass on the ground, she could only wait for Daniuâs family to send the money over.
At night, Han Pei held Zhaodiâs hand and kowtowed to Song Yao to thank her.
Song Yao helped her up. âYou donât have to do this. Iâm not doing this for you. â
Han Peiâs eyes were red. âYao, thank you so much! If you hadnât helped me, I might have continued living with that beast for the rest of my life!â
Song Yao comforted her. âDonât be afraid. Youâre already divorced. Your life in the future is your own! Do you have any plans for the future?â
Han Pei wiped her red and swollen eyes. She thought that she couldnât stay at Song Yaoâs house forever. She had to find a job to support her family.
However, she was injured and had a four-year-old daughter with her. She really could not find a suitable job for the time being.
Han Pei looked around and suddenly said to Song Yao, âDo you need more people in your shop? I can work! I can do anything!â
Song Yao paused. âYouâre coming to work here?â
Han Pei lowered her head. âIs it because you donât want me?â
âNo!â Song Yao said.
She was worried that she would not be able to find anyone, but she did not expect Han Pei to say that she was coming to work.
Song Yao said to Han Pei, âSince youâre here, Iâll tell you about the salary here. Itâs eight yuan a month for the first month. Youâre used to working for 12 yuan a month. Itâll increase in the future. Youâll work eight hours a day and provide food and accommodation. If you need anything, you can take leave at any time, but you canât do it when the shop is busy.â
Han Pei agreed. Twelve yuan a month was too much. She could even save a lot of money a month by providing food and accommodation!
In the next few days, Han Peiâs ex-husband, Daniu, was sentenced to three years for domestic violence. His accomplice, Wang Qiang, was also sentenced to one year for smashing the glass in Song Yaoâs house. Even Han Peiâs aunt and mother-in-law were called to the court to accept the law.
Song Yao received the 200 yuan from Zhang Cui, but there was a condition to this 200 yuan. Song Yao had to plead for Daniu with the court so that he could be let out.
Ever since her son was imprisoned, Zhang Cui had been crying all and fighting with Han Peiâs aunt all day. The two of them had also looked for Han Pei, but Han Pei refused to go back no matter what.
Afraid that her aunt would use the money to talk, Han Pei directly wrote an IOU to her aunt and promised that she would definitely ret the money.
Seeing that Han Pei was unwilling to relent, Zhang Cui looked for Sc Yao and returned the 200 yuan that she had spent on the glass. She also insisted that Song Yao release Daniu.
Song Yao sneered. It was said that it was only right to repay a debt.
Why did he have to make demands when he returned the money? In this day and age, the ones who owed debts were all bosses?
Moreover, Daniu was already in prison and the courtâs verdict had b issued. What could she do?
Song Yao refused immediately, but Zhang Cui took revenge and seni people to Song Yaoâs house every few days to cause trouble. Song Ya was not to be trifled with. There was Zuo Huo, Song Xiao, Sun Hao, even the youngest Liang Jie.
As time passed, Zhang Cui did not dare to come over and cause troul
These few days, Song Yao was about to go to Sangqiu Cityâs First High School to take the exam. She locked herself in her room and studied seriously all day long. She even handed the shop to Gu Li to manage.
Worried that she would be in a mess if she wasnât in the shop, Song Yao specially raised the salary of the employees in the shop. Even the new employee, Du Li, Wang Hongâs niece, increased it by two yuan.
The business of the shop was getting more and more popular!
