Chapter 1
"Meiling, go home quickly. Old Mrs. Qian came to your house to cause trouble again. She just left."
Cheng Meiling's heart tightened as she held a cloth bag made of several pieces of scraps of cloth, which contained a few steamed cakes. They were supplied by the canteen today, and she bought some sweet cakes for her children.
I had been carefully protecting him along the way, but now I didn't care about anything else. I held him in my arms and rushed home.
"How pitiful! Divorced women have a hard time these days. The dirty talk outside is enough to make them suffer."
"She is indeed pitiful. Her previous husband thought she was uneducated and out of step with the revolution, so he was determined to divorce her."
"She used to be a popular girl here. Many young men liked her, but unfortunately she had a bad fate. She was also a seductive woman. She just got divorced and is getting remarried now."
"Bah, don't talk nonsense. Her ex-husband is fighting with her for the child. He didn't want the child when they divorced, but now he regrets it. She is anxious to marry far away, all for the child."
"I heard that her ex-husband had someone else, so they divorced. This is a secret, don't say it was me who told it."
"real or fake......"
Cheng Meiling walked through the crowded corridor. Cheng's mother was sitting at the door, sighing. When she saw her suddenly come back, she immediately shut up.
The soundproofing of the tube-shaped building is poor, and the neighbors around are busy with their own things, with one ear sticking out.
Cheng Meiling pushed Cheng's mother into the door and put on her clothes, blocking out the gossiping eyes outside.
"She's here to ask for the baby again? Didn't I tell you that if she dares to come, you can go to the state-owned restaurant to find me, and I will leave work and go home immediately."
Cheng Meiling gritted her teeth. When she was young, she was ignorant. Seeing that Zhao Li was handsome and worked as an officer in a textile factory, she took great pains to marry him.
But she was also good-looking, with two black braids, a delicate round face, and big eyes, and many young men chased after her.
For the sake of her marriage, she was willing to endure the complaints from her mother-in-law after marriage and she took care of the housework diligently on weekdays.
Who would have thought that Zhao Li hooked up with the factory director's widowed daughter and wanted to divorce her, saying that the child would belong to her after the divorce. Now, no one knows what went wrong and he wants the child back.
"She comes here often recently, and I call you every time. You are just an apprentice, and the chef will be dissatisfied." Mother Cheng patted her hands and comforted her.
"Mom, I've already told you that I'm going to be a chef soon and no one will make things difficult for me." Cheng Meiling put the cloth bag in her hand on the big table and asked again.
"Where is my sister-in-law? And where are Momo and Xiaoquan?"
Mother Cheng pointed towards the kitchen.
"She let you deal with Old Lady Qian alone?" Cheng Meiling's face changed immediately. Ever since she got divorced and returned home, this sister-in-law has been sarcastic and never given her a good look.
"They are of different generations, and as a junior she can't do much. She just needs to take care of the children." Cheng's mother advised.
Cheng Meiling knew that Cheng's mother was afraid that she would have a conflict with her sister-in-law, so she didn't know what to say at the moment.
