At fifty, she remarried into a wealthy family; her ex-husband knelt down and begged for reconciliati

The next morning, the door of the small supermarket opened, and a trembling hand reached out and patted He Qiaoyun.

He Qiaoyun, who was sleeping on the chair, turned over, opened her eyes, and met the gaze of Xiao Ye, the shop assistant.

Xiao Ye screamed, "A ghost! Aaaaaaah!"

Then she ran away.

He Qiaoyun calmly sat up and chased after him, "Xiao Ye, it's me, I'm still alive."

Xiao Ye was still in a state of panic and took off running.

As the morning sun rose, many children stood outside the door, having come to buy things. He Qiaoyun stood in the warm sunlight and stretched comfortably.

While she was stretching, the children swarmed in and ransacked the stationery and snack sections.

He Qiaoyun casually tied up her messy hair and then started collecting cash.

A short while later, Xiao Ye timidly walked in, her eyes scanning He Qiaoyun: "Sister, you...I...I'm not dreaming, am I?"

He Qiaoyun laughed, "I don't know how to explain it, but I really didn't die."

Xiao Ye still couldn't believe it. She pinched herself hard, wincing in pain, and muttered, "It's like a dream..."

"Sis, why are you sleeping in the shop...?"

He Qiaoyun shook her head helplessly, "It's a long story. You can handle the cashier, I need to go out for a bit."

"it is good."

He Qiaoyun took some cash and her temporary ID card to the bank to check the balance of all her cards.

Not a penny less.

Fortunately, Xu Hui has been busy with the wedding and funeral these past few days and hasn't had time to withdraw the money from her card.

She withdrew all the money from those cards, then canceled them, opened a new card, and deposited 400,000 yuan in cash into it.

Let alone 400,000, even 40,000 would be enough to live on if one didn't have to raise children, support a family, or occasionally help an old man support his mistress.

What's the point of working so hard all your life? It's ridiculous.

She set aside 30,000 yuan in cash and went straight to the mobile phone store.

As she entered the mobile phone store, the clerk looked her up and down at her simple attire. Although there was no obvious disdain, they were still reluctant to talk to her.

He Yunqiao doesn't know much about mobile phones. Her son and daughter's old phones are not for her to use. They put them on second-hand platforms to make money. She uses the ones that Xu Hui left over.

She didn't mind before, thinking that she should save money wherever possible. Although her old phone was a bit slow, it was enough to make calls and watch videos. She didn't play games, so she didn't need anything too expensive.

Looking back now, I realize how foolish I was. I was a well-off woman, yet I made myself suffer. Why did I do that?

He Qiaoyun picked up the phone on the display stand and was startled when she glanced at the price.

Her sons and daughters all use this phone, and she paid for it all. She loves them and doesn't want others to have it while her children don't.

But when it came to my turn, I found myself a little reluctant to part with it.

The shop assistant noticed her expression, walked over, and said with a smile, "Auntie, the phones here are quite expensive, basically eight or nine thousand and up. Why don't you go and take a look at the domestic phone stores next door? You can get one for one or two thousand."

He Qiaoyun shook her head and gritted her teeth: "No need, just take this one. You can wrap it up for me."

The shop assistant was slightly surprised. "Auntie, are you serious? You're not kidding me, are you...?"

He Qiaoyun took out a wad of cash from her bag and said with a smile, "Of course it's real, I'll pay."

"Okay, I'll get you the new machine right away, just a moment!"

The shop assistant happily processed the order, and He Qiaoyun bought a phone that was completely her own, no longer someone else's leftovers.

"Auntie, please take care."

He Qiaoyun got a new SIM card, and her life was restarted for the second half of her life.

That day, she found a real estate agent and rented a one-bedroom apartment.

The previous owner was a girl. The house was clean and tidy, with one bedroom and one living room, and all the necessary items were provided. She decided to buy it at first sight.

After renting the apartment, she went back to the small supermarket.

When Xiao Ye first glanced at the latest model phone in her hand, she exclaimed in shock, "Sis, you bought a new phone?"

He Qiaoyun: "Yes, I just bought it."

"how much is it?"

"Not expensive, just over nine thousand."

She then realized that the new phone was so good; it didn't lag at all and took very clear photos.

I earn my own money and spend it myself; I can't even imagine how comfortable my life will be in the future!

He Qiaoyun took some daily necessities from her small supermarket back to her one-bedroom apartment.

With the door closed, there was no drunken husband, no dirty socks lying around, and no unpleasant secondhand smoke; even the air was fresh.

If you live alone, you don't need to cook.

She opened the food delivery app and ordered what she used to think was expensive. It wasn't as delicious as she had imagined, but she ate it with great relish.

Two days passed peacefully.

That day, her mother-in-law, Gao Hui, and her two aunts came to the door.

Gao Hui is eighty-three years old this year, but her fighting spirit is off the charts. She pointed angrily at He Qiaoyun:

"All these years, you've eaten my son's food, drunk my son's drinks, and even this supermarket was opened for you by my son. How dare you be so ungrateful and want to divorce him! Have you been seeing someone else on the side?!"

This is blatant blaming! Their son married his first love during her funeral, and they didn't see a thing!

Aunt Xu Yan caught sight of her phone and snatched it away, exclaiming, "How dare you buy such an expensive phone!"

Second Aunt Xu Huan asserted, "Is there any need to think about it? She must be seeing someone else! All this fuss is just her way of trying to get a divorce!"

Even Xiao Ye couldn't stand their slanderous accusations anymore, muttering, "What kind of people are they, spouting nonsense..."

He Qiaoyun was always amicable with everyone and never made enemies, except for her mother-in-law, whom she harbored resentment towards.
