The dumb wife died with hatred, and she was not obedient after rebirth

Ling Zhao glanced back and saw that it was someone from Mrs. Min's circle.

These ladies either have prominent families in their mother's family or prominent families in their husband's family. None of them became rich by relying on their sons.

In their eyes, Huo's mother, who had no background and whose husband had died, was a vulgar commoner. How could she enter their small group and lower their social status?

Perhaps it is this invisible PUA that makes Huo's mother attach great importance to the position of director of teaching.

They knew that Mrs. Min had bad intentions, so they encouraged Mrs. Huo to agree, coaxed Mrs. Min and stood on the same side with her, and waited to see the show.

Anyway, they won't lose out anyway.

After the Min family fell, these ladies changed their circles and the people around them were still celebrities and nobles.

Ling Zhao turned around and continued to watch the show with Madam Xu.

Mrs. Xu also heard the discussions of the people behind her, but she just drank tea and listened to the opera calmly, pretending she didn't hear anything.

After a while, Mrs. Xu suddenly asked, "Zhao Zhao, do you plan to stay like this and be a full-time wife?"

Ling Zhao was stunned.

She had long since decided not to be Mrs. Huo, and did not agree with the term "full-time housewife," but she would not tell Mrs. Xu that she wanted a divorce.

In the eyes of these people, she and Huo Yixiu are husband and wife, and they are a good wife and a loving husband.

She could only put on a clear look like that of a little white rabbit, ignorant of the world.

Mrs. Xu put down her teacup and picked up the hammer again. She said, "Mr. Huo's career is getting better and better, and his net worth is getting higher. There will be as many women throwing themselves at him as butterflies in a garden. You have no background and you are dumb. Those women will not take you seriously. They will only think of replacing you."

She hit it so hard that the walnut fragments flew out and the remaining half was smashed into pieces.

Ling Zhao saw the cruel look in Madam Xu's eyes.

She remembered what Huo Yixiu said, about the several lovers that Mr. Xu kept outside. When she looked at Mrs. Xu again, there was a little more complexity in her eyes.

[Shall I crack the walnuts?] She tried to take the hammer from Mrs. Xu, but Mrs. Xu dodged her hand and said, "No need."

She took another walnut and said, "I like to crack it myself."

Ling Zhao wondered if she mistook the hickory nut for the skulls of those women.

"…You can't just be his wife, you have to have your own strength, and let others see you and respect you."

Ling Zhao pursed his lips and took the half walnut handed to him by Mrs. Xu.

Huo Yixiu took her to the banquet, nominally to respect her and give her dignity, and also to show the public that they had a good relationship. She had countless opportunities to show her face.

However, the celebrities only knew that she was Huo Yixiu's wife. They called her Mrs. Huo, but they didn't remember her name. She was just a vase to suit the occasion.

Like Fan Wenxin, they not only knew her as Secretary Fan, but also knew her name. Without Huo Yixiu, she was still Fan Wenxin, smart, beautiful, and skillful. Her opponents were afraid of her, but also envied her.

There are very few women who dare to go against Fan Wenxin, at least those women in the company's secretarial office don't dare to do so.

Fan Wenxin hated Ling Zhao simply because she took Mrs. Huo's place.

Fan Wenxin had never respected her. In her previous life, she treated her like a clown and played with her as she pleased. When she had enough fun, she sent her to heaven...

The edges of the walnut were uneven and had sharp thorns, which hurt Ling Zhao's fingertips. She came to her senses and used a small tool to dig out the meat inside and ate it clean.

The shell was thrown into the trash can, and she gestured and asked: [How can I have my own power? ]

She has no work experience and is looking for a job only so that she can live independently after her divorce.

She couldn't get a divorce, so she had to be strong in this cage. Even if she couldn't fight Huo Yixiu, at least she could protect herself and no longer be manipulated by others.

Mrs. Xu smiled at her and said, "My family is just average. When Lao Xu was young, he and I worked in the same unit. When he came in, I was his superior. He made mistakes, and I helped him make up for them. That's how he fell in love with me. After a while, we got married."

Simply put, Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu are in a relationship between an older sister and a younger brother, or a relationship between a superior and a subordinate.

There was a saying in that era: Behind every successful man there is a great woman.

At that time, it was possible to get promoted by relying on one's background, but ordinary people still had a way to rise. Mr. Xu was one of the lucky ones. His promotion was helped by Mrs. Xu.

Mr. Xu became the head of a state-owned enterprise, and Mrs. Xu did not continue on her career path.

Externally, she has earned a reputation and won respect from others; internally, she has been married to Mr. Xu for many years and has a lot of leverage over him.

If Mr. Xu dumped her, he would be abandoning his wife and being ungrateful. If she then reported him with her real name, Mr. Xu's position as a senior executive would be over.

Ling Zhao silently listened to Madam Xu's affectionate speech, every word was a teaching!

She picked up the teapot and poured her tea.

Mrs. Xu finally said, "You are a quiet person. I see that you are organized and low-key. I heard that the Disabled Persons' Federation is short of people. You can look for opportunities there."

Most people don't pay attention to places like the Disabled Persons' Federation and the Red Cross, but once you go in, you'll find that they are good places.

Ling Zhao herself is a disabled person, so it was not difficult for her to get in. Her husband is rich and can collect donations from time to time, so she was promoted quickly.

Ling Zhao understood Mrs. Xu's good intentions and thanked her.

After returning home, she sat alone in the attic, sewing on her machine, thinking over and over again about what Mrs. Xu had said.

The Disabled Persons’ Federation is also a municipal unit. After joining the organization, she has a legitimate identity and is no longer just Mrs. Huo.

But... although Mrs. Xu is a good person, she is also from the noble circle.

The people in the upper class are all very cautious. Madam Xu can control Mr. Xu and is above those ladies. She would not be so kind as to simply point her a way...

"Why are you sighing for no reason?"

I don't know when Huo Yixiu came up, holding medicine in his hand.

The attic is a small place, so smells tend to gather together. It took Ling Zhao so long to smell the medicine, which showed how long she had been in a daze.

Ling Zhao took off his headphones and pretended that he was listening to music and didn't hear him.

Huo Yixiu put down the medicine bowl and said, "Did you go to the opera with Madam Xu today?"

Ling Zhao nodded.

Huo Yixiu looked at the fabric she had stepped on.

It looks like sleeves, but they are too long and have no edges, like the sleeves used in opera.

"Making clothes again?" He held up the long sleeve and teased her. Ling Zhao's face turned slightly red and she snatched the sleeve back.

[It's not for you, so leave it alone. ]

Huo Yixiu raised his eyebrows, but his eyes darkened: "If it's not for me, then who do you want to make it for?"

He looked at the material and the design and realized that this was not women's clothing.

Ling Zhao: [Just doing it for fun.]

Huo Yixiu sneered, and Ling Zhao said: [Mrs. Xu said that I can work at the Disabled Persons' Federation. What do you think? ]
