Siheyuan's Silly Pillar has been replaced by someone else

The next day, Tang Yanling went to the hospital with Bang Geng.

Nowadays, couples are encouraged to have only one child. When the hospital saw that they were voluntarily coming to use contraception, they were warmly received.

After the surgery was completed, Bang Geng helped the somewhat weak Tang Yanling out of the hospital.

"Let's eat something before we go home."

Tang Yanling nodded: "There's a Xiangpiao Bancheng nearby, let's go there. It's been a long time since I've had fried chicken."

"Maybe I'll even run into Aunt Xiaofang at the shop."

Bang Geng said, "What a coincidence. You don't know, Xiangpiao Bancheng has just opened two more stores."

"Really? Didn't they say that if KFC came, the business of Xiangpiao Half the City would be affected?"

"do not know."

The young couple chatted idly as they arrived at the nearest restaurant, Fragrant Half City.

There weren't many people in the store; there were only one or two people waiting in line for their food.

Tang Yanling said, "I'll go find a table, you go buy some fried chicken and fries."

Banggeng let go of Tang Yanling and went to queue up.

Tang Yanling was looking around the store, trying to find a satisfactory spot, when she suddenly saw her two best friends.

Since she got pregnant and moved back to the courtyard house, she hasn't seen her two best friends.

Neither of them intended to visit her.

Tang Yanling was filled with resentment towards her two best friends.

She pretended not to see the two of them and sat down not far from them.

Banggeng brought over something, and the two of them saw him.

"Bang Geng, what are you doing here?"

Banggeng was quite surprised to see them: "Yanling and I came here to eat."

What are you doing here?

Tang Yanling then pretended to have just noticed them: "Oh, you're here."

The two looked somewhat embarrassed when they saw Tang Yanling.

The three of them used to consider each other their best friends.

Tang Yanling's first divorce was partly due to their encouragement.

They quickly forgot about this awkward moment.

Their philosophy revolves around the idea that "I'm not embarrassed; it's others who are embarrassed."

Chai Ning spoke first: "Yanling, you're out of confinement now. Cui Xin and I are just discussing going to visit you together."

Cui Xin chimed in, "Yes. We were just talking about that."

Tang Yanling sat beside them for a while and realized they were lying.

"Really? I was looking for you too, what a coincidence!"

"That's what happens when we're best friends," Chai Ning said.

Tang Yanling sneered inwardly and changed the subject.

"Cui Xin, you don't look well. What happened?"

Not wanting to continue the awkward situation, Chai Ning took the opportunity to shift the topic to Cui Xin.

"Yanling, you've come at the right time. You be the judge."

Cui Xin's husband earns money but doesn't bring it home; instead, he insists on buying things for his parents.

Do you think this is reasonable?

Without hesitation, Tang Yanling said, "Of course it's unreasonable."

You've forgotten what you said about me.

Why stay with a man like that? You should just divorce him as soon as possible.

Chai Ning not only didn't think Tang Yanling was wrong, but also agreed, saying, "That's exactly what I advised her, but she insisted that her husband wasn't happy about it."

You've come at the right time; please help me persuade her.

These days, three-legged toads are hard to find, but aren't two-legged men hard to find?
Her husband wasn't very capable; he only earned a small amount of money each month.

Not only do I earn little money, but I also have to give some to my parents.

He completely disregarded this family.

The guy standing to the side felt a little embarrassed listening to these words.

He gave the fried chicken to Tang Yanling, and then found another place to sit down.

Tang Yanling ignored him and continued, "Cui Xin, what are you waiting for?"

While you're young and beautiful, divorce him, find someone rich and capable, and live a comfortable life.

That's exactly what you told me back then.

Cui Xin was somewhat tempted by what the two men said, but she felt a little embarrassed.

Unable to confront Tang Yanling, she turned her gun on Chai Ning.

"Don't just talk about me. Your husband is the same way."

They're always so stingy.

When we go out to eat, they keep asking all sorts of questions.

That kind of person doesn't seem like they'll amount to anything.

Tang Yanling, always eager to stir up trouble, turned to Chai Ning and said, "You really should listen to Cui Xin."

A stingy man is worse than one who is incompetent.

Look at that old man in our courtyard, he always tastes the manure cart to check its saltiness when it passes by.

I don't need to tell you what kind of life he's living now.

"With all your advantages, why hang yourself on one tree?"

Chai Ning was much thicker-skinned than Cui Xin, and directly admitted: "Do you think I don't want to?"

I just hadn't found a new job yet, right?

"As soon as I find someone else, he'll divorce me in a heartbeat."

Tang Yanling asked with a smile, "Are you planning to look for a better option while still having a better one?"

“Yes,” Chai Ning said, “It’s just like buying clothes.”

I need to buy new clothes before I can throw away the old ones.

Otherwise, if I don't buy any new clothes and have to throw away my old ones, what am I supposed to wear?

Upon hearing this, Cui Xin thought it made sense and said, "That's what I think too."

It's a pity that the sisters are so beautiful, but those lousy men don't know how to appreciate them.

Tang Yanling shook her head and said, "Your idea is wrong."

"What's wrong with that? Just like you, hang yourself on the stick, that's the right thing to do."

Chai Ning and Cui Xin said in unison.

When the two learned that Tang Yanling was going to have a child with Bang Geng, they talked about Tang Yanling quite a bit in private.

They thought Tang Yanling was useless and would definitely become a housewife who only cared about the kitchen.

From now on, they and Tang Yanling will no longer be on the same path.

The reason the two didn't visit Tang Yanling after she became pregnant was this.

Tang Yanling sensed the mockery in their words and immediately became very angry.

During this time, she lived in the courtyard house and learned a lot from Qin Huairu.

Sometimes, having a bad temper doesn't necessarily bring you any advantage.

She suppressed her temper and said, "If you keep looking for someone while you're already taken, people will know you're already in a relationship."

"In that case, would successful men still want to date you?"

Chai Ning and Cui Xin were taken aback, then looked at each other.

"You mean, the reason we haven't found the right person is because we already have partners?"

Tang Yanling said, "Isn't that obvious?"
If you have a partner, how will others know that you want to find someone else?

People assume you'd be happy living that kind of life.

If others assume you're unhappy, they won't bother you anymore.

Don't forget, there are plenty of shameless women out there these days.

Unless you wear a sign that says, "I'm looking for a rich man."

"Get lost. You're the one looking to find someone better. We call it finding love."

Tang Yanling didn't care what they said.

Her goal today is to persuade her two best friends to get a divorce.

"Yes, you're looking for love, alright? Anyway, I've said everything I needed to say."

Why don't you take advantage of your youth and beauty to find someone capable?

"It'll be too late to find someone when you're older."

Chai Ning and Cui Xin exchanged a glance, and saw a spark of attraction in each other's eyes.

Cui Xin sighed: "It's easy to say. Among the people we know, there aren't many who are rich."

The waitresses at that famous restaurant are certainly well-off, but unfortunately, we're older than them, so they don't even look at us.

Tang Yanling asked with a smile, "Which waiter have you taken a fancy to?"

Chai Ning pointed to the doorway: "Xin Xin has her eye on that one."

Tang Yanling turned her head and saw a young waiter standing at the door, who looked to be no more than twenty-four years old.

"You have good taste. You're thinking of an older man dating a younger woman."

"Can't you?"

"Sure? Our Xin Xin is so beautiful, why not?" (End of Chapter)
