Li Wenbing muttered something under his breath, which only fueled Li Jianguo's anger, and he raised his hand to hit him.

Li Wenbing was startled and quickly pulled Li Wenjun aside. Li Jianguo's hand missed its target, and his chest heaved with anger.

"You don't know anything! When a man goes out to do business, that's called building a career. But when a woman goes out to sell food, that's just cheating on her husband!"

I think she did it on purpose, deliberately making a scene and letting the whole city laugh at me, Li Jianguo!

Li Wenjun, standing to the side, also looked dissatisfied. Instead of offering any advice, he held his bowl, pouted, and added fuel to the fire, saying, "I told you long ago, Mom has a wild heart. You shouldn't have let her divorce you in the first place."

Look, it's only been a few days since the divorce, and they've already opened a shop.

People who are unemployed are forced to do those things; what is she trying to do?

If we get caught red-handed engaging in speculation and profiteering, what will become of our reputation?

After a few years of peaceful life, although the policies have improved and some people are now boldly doing business on the streets, most of them are driven to desperation by life. What respectable woman would do this?

Besides, it's respectable for a formal employee to go out and do business, but self-employed people are looked down upon. She's giving up a secure job to do this. Isn't she just asking for trouble?

These words seemed to strike at Li Jianguo's most aggrieved spot. His face turned purple, and he abruptly stood up and walked out.

Seeing something was wrong, Li Wenbing quickly called out, "Dad, where are you going?"

Without turning his head, Li Jianguo said, "I'm going to tear down her lousy shop's sign! Let's see if she has any shame left!"

Upon hearing this, the two brothers quickly followed.

Li Wenbing slapped himself hard across the face.

Why did you blurt this out in your excitement? You've really gotten yourself into big trouble.

As he ran, he prayed silently: "Mom, please don't blame me. I really didn't mean to. I was just too happy and blurted it out..."

Li Jianguo stormed towards Wenshu Lane, and soon stood in front of Zhang Wenying's braised meat shop. Pointing at Zhang Wenying, who was wiping tables behind the counter, he cursed, "Zhang Wenying! Come out here! You shameless woman, close this lousy shop right now and come home with me!"

The customers waiting to buy braised food in the shop were all startled and turned to look at Li Jianguo, then curiously looked at Zhang Wenying.

Zhang Wenying put down the rag in her hand, slowly wiped her hands, looked up at Li Jianguo who was standing angrily at the door, and a cold smile appeared on her lips.

"Li Jianguo, we're divorced. I run my shop and earn my money. What business is it of yours? You come to my shop and cause trouble. Are you itching for a second chance at the police station?"

It's really baffling.

She used to serve him like a slave at home, but he complained that she was incompetent; now that she earns money with her own hands, he comes to cause trouble. What kind of logic is this?

So, Zhang Wenying's entire life is destined to revolve around Li Jianguo, with no freedom whatsoever?

Li Jianguo was choked by her words, his face turning ashen. His finger trembled as he pointed at her: "You...you still have the nerve to talk back? You're a woman, showing your face in public to do business, do you even know what people outside are saying about you? You've completely disgraced me, Li Jianguo!"

"Disgraceful?" Zhang Wenying sneered and slowly walked out from behind the counter. "What face do you, Li Jianguo, have to lose?"

I earn money through my own abilities, I don't steal or rob, I live an upright life, how come it becomes a shameful thing in your mouth?

But you, don't think that you're the only noble or respectable person in this world.

Get out of here and stop interfering with my business.

Upon seeing this man, Zhang Wenying felt a surge of anger.

From the moment she was reborn, her relationship with Li Jianguo was completely severed.

In this lifetime, she will never waste another second on this man, nor will she allow him to trample on her and act arrogantly again.

"If you don't get out of here, I'm going to your workplace and tell everyone what's going on. Li Jianguo, we're divorced, what right do you have to interfere in my affairs!"

Upon hearing this, Li Jianguo's mind, which had been clouded by anger, instantly regained some clarity.

If he makes a fuss, it's at most a family matter, but if he takes it to his workplace, then the nature of the matter changes.

He gritted his teeth, glared fiercely at Zhang Wenying, said "You just wait," and slunk away.

Zhang Wenying watched his retreating figure, snorted coldly, and turned to the customers in the shop with a smile, saying, "I'm sorry, everyone, I've made you laugh."

Braised pork is available as usual today, and freshly braised pig's trotters and chicken feet are just ready. Everyone should buy and eat as usual; don't let someone unrelated spoil your mood.

The diners laughed it off, but looked at Zhang Wenying with strange eyes.

This woman is so old, why is she divorced?

Zhang Wenying knew what they were thinking, but she didn't care at all.

In her past life, she lived a life of great repression and cared too much about what others thought, which ultimately led to a tragic end.

In this life, she only wants to live for herself once. Other people's gossip is just like the wind passing by, gone as soon as it blows away.

Li Wenjun looked at the bustling business with burning enthusiasm in his eyes.

"Third brother, is this the braised pork shop Mom was talking about? Business is really good!"

Look at the diners in these two rooms, they're packed to the brim, and there are even people queuing up at the door with their lunchboxes, waiting to take their food to go.

This scene was even more lively than the state-run restaurant at the entrance of their factory.

Li Wenbing glanced guiltily at his busy mother and older sister, said nothing, and turned away dejectedly.

It seems he said something wrong.

Li Wenjun didn't notice his younger brother's strange behavior. He was busy rubbing his hands together, thinking to himself, "If this can change Mom's mind, our family's life will be much better."

Although Pan Wenfang cheated on him, he always loved Pan Wenfang.

They said that if you want to marry her, you need to provide three turns and a ring, plus a dowry of 500 yuan.

If he could borrow some money from his mother, he could marry Pan Wenfang in a grand and dignified manner.

It seems I need to bring Mom back.

She's been suffering a lot all by herself out there.

Putting everything else aside, the gossip and idle chatter alone would be enough to drive her crazy. Once she's faced setbacks outside, she'll naturally realize how good home is.

I just don't know why my older sister didn't go to work and came here to help out.

Although doing business is a bit shady, it's true that it makes money quickly.

Li Wenjun was making plans in his mind. His gaze swept around the store and finally landed on Zhang Wenying's busy figure.

My mom has always been a great cook.

The aroma emanating from this shop alone is enough to make one's mouth water.

He swallowed hard, thinking that he would have to have a good talk with his mother once she finished this busy period.
