Chapter 6

Aunt Jiang gave me a few more words of advice.

Then she said earnestly, "Your parents left early, but we're still here, their old comrades. As long as we're around, we won't let anyone bully you."

"Actually, if you hadn't been so fond of that Ye Chuan back then..."

She paused, "Don't worry about this matter. When Ye Chuan comes back, I'll personally give him a good talking-to. From then on, he'll definitely listen to you without question."

"No need."

I looked up and wiped away the tears from the corners of my eyes, "Aunt Jiang, I just want a divorce now, can you help me?"

"Of course I can. Actually, for years I've wanted to advise you to leave, but seeing how reluctant you looked, I couldn't bear to do it."

"I never thought you'd come to terms with it yourself."

Aunt Jiang's voice was full of happiness.

Actually, before the earthquake, I had already made up my mind to get a divorce.
