Chapter 1901: A Fresh Start
A marriage of dependence wouldn’t last long, so then there was a new question…
Why the frick would I marry you if I’m doing well?
If I can support myself, why should I marry you?
After flying for more than an hour, the plane finally arrived at the city that Ning Shu had selected.
This city had a prosperous economy and many opportunities. More importantly, it also had many universities.
Ning Shu carefully counted the money she had left. It was enough to last a few years if she lived frugally. During that time, Ning Shu planned to study for a bachelor’s degree and then get a lawyer’s qualification certificate.
After much deliberation, Ning Shu had decided to become a lawyer. Doing business would be difficult since she didn’t have much money and she still had a child to take care of.
She would live off of her 100,000 yuan and wait until she could join the workforce before thinking about anything else.
At this time, society was regulated and all professions required certificates. It was different from ancient times, where Ning Shu could set up a fortune-telling booth or make some Chinese medicine masks.
Nowadays, these things were restricted and impossible to do without any qualifications. Without a qualification certificate, it was a criminal offense. Ning Shu didn’t want to be detained and fined.
She booked a room in a small hotel and bought a new SIM card for her phone.
Then, Ning Shu took the child to find a place to live, a house in which to settle down.
The houses in the city center were too expensive, so Ning Shu didn’t try to rent a house there. Instead, she rented a small house with a living room, a bedroom, and a bathroom on the outskirts of the city.
The rent was over 1,000 yuan a month.
Ning Shu was very satisfied with the house. It was pretty good for someone who lived alone with a child.
After signing the contract with the landlord, she went back to the hotel to take her suitcase to the rental house.
The landlord saw that Ning Shu was by herself with a child and couldn’t help but ask, “You’re going to be living alone? Where is your husband?”
“I am divorced,” Ning Shu said.
The landlord looked at Ning Shu with pity, and of course, a bit of contempt as well.
In this society, divorced women were basically thought of as being unwanted by their husband’s family because they weren’t any good.
Ning Shu just ignored the landlord’s gaze. Facing these kinds of gazes was better than suffering in the An family. There was no such thing as perfection in this world.
Ning Shu went to the supermarket to buy blankets and other daily necessities.
After that, she cleaned the entire house. Immediately, it felt like a completely different place to live. She had started a new life. Ning Shu couldn’t hide the excitement in her heart. She didn’t have to open her eyes every morning and see that infuriating family.
There, her existence was always denied.
Once she had settled down, Ning Shu began to look for a law school.
Chen Ning’s academic qualifications were only at the junior high school level. As soon as a female graduated from junior high, she would work to earn money and then get married and have children.
Many women had no doubts about the trajectory of their lives because everyone lived this way. As soon as they grew up, their elders would hurriedly marry them off.
If they didn’t follow everyone else’s way of life, they would be condemned and gossiped about.
