It was apparent that Yao Wei was a good official who served the people.

Off to the side, though, Old Lady Mu was becoming anxious, watching Yao Wei and Ni Yang speak with such familiarity.

What on earth was happening?

Why would the city’s party secretary come to their home?

And to chance upon this very incident!

This clearly wasn’t a coincidence!

Could it be that Ni Yang and the city party secretary had planned this all along?

Otherwise, this couldn’t possibly be such a coincidence!

Yes!

Ni Yang must have colluded with them in advance!

But how did Ni Yang know the city party secretary?

Old Lady Mu raised her head to look at Ni Yang.

Under the dim light, Ni Yang stood there, with a soft glow on her beautiful face, and when she spoke, two small dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

For the first time, Old Lady Mu realized that her granddaughter had such a pretty face.

But the thought that, starting from now, Ni Yang was no longer her granddaughter, twisted Old Lady Mu’s face into a grimace!

That bitch, Ni Cuihua!

It would have been fine if she had wanted a divorce herself! But now she was even taking away their Mu Family’s granddaughter!

Just then, Ni Cuihua came out of the house holding the child, “Yangyang, I’ve packed everything.”

Ni Yang turned to look at Ni Cuihua, “Mom, let’s go then.”

“Alright.” Ni Cuihua nodded.

Old Lady Mu continued, “Ni Cuihua, I’m giving you one last chance to reconsider. Back out now while you still can! Otherwise, it won’t be easy for you to step inside the Mu family’s home ever again! Let me tell you, the world is a chaotic place right now. You three women leaving just like that will surely end up starving on the streets!”

Ni Cuihua turned back to look at Old Lady Mu, her tone cold, “Don’t worry! I’d rather starve in the street than return to the Mu family!”

“Good, good!”) Old Lady Mu remarked sarcastically: “You have some nerve! Fine, leave! I look forward to the day you come back begging!”

How can a woman survive without a man?

It’s impossible!

Without a doubt, Ni Cuihua will come crying back to her eventually!

Escorted by Yao Wei and the village chief, Ni Yang and Ni Cuihua left the Mu family mansion, carrying the child with them.

Just then, a pair of worn-out shoes tossed viciously, hit Ni Cuihua’s back.

Indeed, a place of deprivation breeds wicked people! Yao Wei frowned.

Holding the child, Ni Cuihua couldn’t help but tear up. In these times, a divorced woman was bound to be gossiped about. Needless to say, life for her, her daughter, and the child wouldn’t be easy from now on.

“Mom, don’t be afraid, and don’t pay attention to others’ stares! Rest assured, in the future, we will have good days! Isn’t there a saying? Good days are forged through hardships!”

Upon hearing this, Yao Wei felt a rush of respect for Ni Yang.

The young girl was nothing like he had imagined; she was even stronger than her mother, Ni Cuihua.

From start to finish, she hadn’t shed a single tear.

Yao Wei had initially thought that Ni Yang was just a small-town girl with medical skills. It now seemed that she was far more exceptional than he had imagined.

Yao Wei then asked, “Young comrade Ni Yang, where do you plan to go from here?”

“I haven’t decided yet,” Ni Yang answered.

The village chief understood that Ni Yang was hesitant to speak because of his presence. So, being tactful, he said, “Secretary, I have some matters to attend to in the village, I will go ahead.”

Yao Wei was unsatisfied with the way the village chief had handled matters. He looked up at the village chief, his tone becoming stern, “You may go.”

The village chief swallowed hard and turned to walk towards the village department.

He hoped that after today, he could continue being the village chief…

After the village chief had left, Yao handed Ni Yang a yellow cloth bag, “Young comrade Ni Yang, Mr. Zhou has taken care of all the matters you asked him to help with. Additionally, there’s some money in here as a token of goodwill from Mr. Zhou!”

Ni Yang immediately refused: “Uncle Zhou has already helped me a lot, I cannot accept this money!”

Yao Wei laughed and said: “Accept it! It’s not a lot of money, Mr. Zhou would be worried if you didn’t. Moreover, you need to live when you are away!”

At this juncture, if Ni Yang further declined, Yao Wei might think there was an ulterior motive!

Moreover, she did indeed need the money now.

“Please thank Uncle Zhou for me!” Ni Yang accepted the yellow cloth bag with both hands.

Yao Wei nodded, “Certainly. By the way, where do you plan to go after leaving here?”

Although Ni Yang had previously said she hadn’t decided yet, Yao Wei knew that she must have had plans. She just didn’t say anything because the village chief was there.

“To Beijing.” Ni Yang continued, “Then, I’ll start a small business.”

Upon hearing this, Yao Wei looked at Ni Yang in surprise, “You want to become a private business owner?”

To be honest, in this era, private business owners were considered contemptible. Some people would rather starve to death than go into business and become private business owners!

Being a merchant was labele ‘speculative’ and was especially shameful!

Nobody could’ve anticipated that the first generation of private business owners going into business would end up as millionaires and billionaires!

This is why Yao Wei was so surprised when he heard that Ni Yang wanted to be a private business owner.

Ni Yang responded with a smile, “Yes, a private business owner. You heard correctly.”
