Xu Fangfang let out a bitter laugh, "Thank you, Master Li, for your concern. I've now secured a teaching position in a city school, so I probably won't return to Pingxi Town. With time, things will get better."
Li Jianbing admired her resilience.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
After a few rounds of drinks, Li Jianbing asked a few more questions than usual, "It's not easy for a woman to get divorced and live alone in the city. Do you have any plans for the future?"
Xu Fangfang thought for a moment, clenching her teeth, "I do have some ideas. My sister is so independent because she has her own apartment, far away from the family's reach; as long as she doesn't rely on others, she's not afraid of anything.
I've carefully considered this during this period. A woman should have her own place to have confidence. Since I probably won't marry again, I plan to save up for a few years. When I have enough money, I'll buy a small apartment in the city and settle down."
