Qian Shulan suppressed her anger. Divorce was inevitable. She had to make them divorce quickly before Wang Shouzhi found out about Li Caiying's affair. With Wang Shouzhi's filial piety towards her and his pent-up dissatisfaction with Li Caiying, she felt that as long as she talked to Wang Shouzhi, he would listen.
This matter needs to be dealt with as soon as possible. This kind of thing cannot be covered up. People in this era are not like those in later generations who do not like to meddle in other people's affairs. People in this era, because there are no other entertainment activities, like to stare at others and gossip about their affairs. Maybe someone in this family area has already known about it.
If the incident gets out of hand, Wang Shouzhi will lose all his face.
Moreover, if the two do not divorce, when she completes her mission and returns, will her original self still be able to give her a high score after knowing about Li Caiying
Obviously it is impossible. According to the older generation's thinking, Li Caiying is a slut and should be thrown into the pig cage.
Don't think that the original body will be tolerant after living a lifetime. From the fact that she only reformed her son and daughter-in-law but not her daughter, we can know that the original body still has the old-fashioned thinking. Think about it, even the idea of favoring boys over girls will not change. Then the view on sluts will definitely not change.
Therefore, no matter from which perspective, the two must divorce, and as soon as possible.
But how to get a divorce? She needs to think about it carefully.
Qian Shulan frowned as she walked out of the family compound, but before she could take a few steps, she ran into Wang Shouzhi coming back. There were several bloody scratches on his face, and it was obvious that he had been in a fight. Qian Shulan frowned slightly, "What's wrong with your face?"
"Mom, why didn't you go back to the village?" Wang Shouzhi was a little surprised to see that his mother was still in the county town. Where had his mother been living these days
Qian Shulan looked at his worried eyes with a complicated expression. If she told Wang Shouzhi now that Li Caiying was cheating on her, he would definitely run to catch them, and the situation would definitely get out of control.
Therefore, she suppressed her thoughts, looked at him with some sympathy, and sighed heavily, "Xiaowu, mother did this all for you!"
Wang Shouzhi was slightly surprised to hear his mother's words. For him
Qian Shulan didn't wait for him to speak, she sighed heavily again, and looked at him with eyes full of pity and regret, "Xiaowu, I think your life is too hard, and I feel bad watching you, otherwise, you should divorce Caiying!"
Wang Shouzhi was shocked and subconsciously wanted to object. If he got divorced, he would have to go back to his hometown to farm, and he didn't want to live a hard life.
Qian Shulan seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and immediately told him the good news that she was about to tell him, "The Grain and Oil Bureau is recruiting workers, and I've already signed you up."
Although Wang Shouzhi was somewhat surprised by his mother's news, these units in the city generally do not announce their recruitment to the public, and only insiders can get some information. How did his mother know
However, even if he knew the news, it would be useless. They still had to interview and take written tests, so it was not certain that this would succeed. Therefore, Wang Shouzhi was only surprised but not happy.
Qian Shulan saw that he had a calm expression, and after a brief thought, she understood what he was thinking, so she smiled and said, "They have already announced the task. Whoever can buy 1,000 kilograms of rice and negotiate the cheapest price will be able to become a formal employee. Mother has already bought 1,000 kilograms of rice for you, and you can just take it to the Grain and Oil Bureau."
Wang Shouzhi didn't expect that his mother would even dare to buy rice for him. He was not a fool. Liuguan County did not produce rice. His mother must have spent a lot of thought to buy so much rice. He felt deeply guilty and held Qian Shulan's hand for a moment, not knowing what to say.
These days, he lived in the factory, and he was tormented all the time. On the one hand, he was thinking about the look in his mother's eyes when she left, and on the other hand, he was thinking about his comfortable life now.
He knew that Li Caiying was waiting for him to give in. But he didn't want to give in so easily. So, he kept avoiding and refused to go home. But today was the day to collect food, and he had to go home to get the food and oil book.
When Qian Shulan saw that Wang Shouzhi was still thinking about getting food, she panicked and just wanted to take him away, so she immediately dragged him to where she lived. When she left, she had already put 1,000 kilograms of rice on the cart in the yard.
The Jiang family's courtyard was built of blue bricks, and the walls were quite high, so she wasn't worried about being seen.
Wang Shouzhi was pulling the cart and listening to his mother talking as he walked. He was shocked to hear his mother say that when they got to the Grain and Oil Bureau, the rice would be priced at 1 cent per pound.
"Mom, how can such good rice be quoted at such a low price?"
Qian Shulan interrupted him and said earnestly, "Although this grain is very expensive to buy, you have to bid a low price, because those people will also bid low. Then, how can you compete with them?" In fact, they were competing on the price-performance ratio, not simply on the quality of the rice.
This was also to increase her bargaining chips. Compared with those people with backgrounds, Wang Shouzhi, a farm boy, had no advantage at all. Although the leaders said that they should compete fairly, there was no absolute fairness in this world. She didn't want any accidents to happen, so she played a little trick. As for how much she paid for the grain per pound, sorry, she didn't know how to calculate it.
Wang Shouzhi hesitated. "What if my boss asks me to buy rice at this price again?"
Qian Shulan patted her chest and assured, "It's okay. Mom can still afford this loss!" She still had more than 20,000 kilograms in her space.
In the future, as long as she sells more goods and saves gold coins, she can buy more rice, so she is not worried about not having rice.
Wang Shouzhi felt a little guilty. Qian Shulan didn't want anything to go wrong, so she repeatedly reminded him, "You must quote 10 cents per pound."
Wang Shouzhi couldn't do anything about his mother and could only agree with a heavy heart.
When the two men pulled the grain to the Grain and Oil Bureau, the person in charge of reception was surprised to see the amount of rice they brought.
He looked at the young man with a complicated expression and nodded to the accountant next to him, "I'll go find the director to take a look first." He couldn't make the decision on this matter.
Soon, the director came over. Seeing that the young man was in good spirits, well-mannered, wearing a pair of glasses and dressed decently, he was very satisfied with him.
He took a handful of rice in his hand, and seeing that the quality was good, he nodded with a smile, "How much is one pound?"
Although the director had a smile on his face, Wang Shouzhi inexplicably felt that he was a bit majestic. He was introverted, and it was the first time he lied in front of so many people. He subconsciously lowered his head and stammered, "One...cent."
The director immediately put away his smile and looked at the young man with a scrutinizing look. He looked him up and down, then smiled and patted him on the shoulder. "Not bad, young man!" Pretty smart! Then he frowned and said, "From now on, you have to send 1,000 kilograms of rice every six months, still at this price. Can you do it?"
Wang Shouzhi thought that he had indeed come, but when he thought of his mother's instructions, he gritted his teeth and nodded.
The director was very satisfied to see that he was so flexible and could take a loss. Rather than doing a favor to someone below him, it would be better to use it to cultivate a confidant who belongs only to him.
Now he didn't know who his subordinates would join, and he didn't dare to use them easily, so he came up with this idea. As a new director, if he didn't even have his own people, how could he arrange work in the future
Although it seems that this guy does not have a good background, at least he has many connections and is an honest person, otherwise he would not be able to buy such good rice.
This quality is obviously from the black market.
The director nodded to the accountant and said, "Write down his name. And the price, too."
The accountant nodded, pulled out a pen from his coat pocket, and wrote quickly in his notebook.
Wang Shouzhi breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to the director, and said with a smile, "Thank you, leader."
The director nodded, and as he passed by, he whispered to him, "Come for training next month."
Wang Shouzhi immediately looked up and turned to look at the director. Seeing that the other party was looking at him with a smile, he was so surprised that he almost jumped up.
He was hired. A big smile appeared on Wang Shouzhi's face.
He excitedly shook hands with the accountant beside him and said, "Thank you, thank you, accountant."
The accountant who was recording the accounts was immediately startled by his action and almost dropped the pen in his hand.
Wang Shouzhi quickly caught the pen that was about to fall.
He apologized to the accountant sheepishly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so happy."
When the accountant saw that he had caught the pen, he snatched it away and tried to write two words on the notebook. Seeing that there was no problem, he did not blame him for his rudeness. He muttered, "How reckless you are." After that, he turned around and left.
Wang Shouzhi was not angry and immediately pulled the cart out the door.
Qian Shulan was waiting outside, feeling extremely nervous. She was afraid that Wang Shouzhi would be too rigid and would not speak according to her instructions.
There is only one vacancy for a formal employee, and 500 people are eyeing it, including some leaders. If she doesn't use some tricks, she probably won't have even a 10% chance.
Hadn't she been squeezed out of the written test in her previous life even though she ranked first? She couldn't miss this good opportunity.
Just as she was feeling anxious and lingering at the door, it opened.
Wang Shouzhi rushed out with a cart and smiled at Qian Shulan. He looked around and saw too many people. He was afraid of arousing jealousy, so he immediately put away the smile on his face.
Qian Shulan also noticed that they were powerless, and if others knew in advance that the quota fell on them, they would definitely have bad intentions, so they had to be careful.
It was not until the two of them had pulled the cart several hundred meters away that Wang Shouzhi told Qian Shulan the good news.
Qian Shulan also became happy and said to Wang Shouzhi, "Xiaowu, now that the job has been confirmed, you should divorce Li Caiying as soon as possible. She is not a good wife at all."
Wang Shouzhi was a little hesitant. Although Caiying had a bad temper and was arrogant, she had helped him after all. Moreover, they had a child named Xiaodie. He didn't want to be a Chen Shimei. He knew that his mother was very dissatisfied with Caiying now, and begged, "Mom, please give Caiying another chance. I will make Caiying change for the better." Now that he had a job and confidence, Caiying could no longer control him like before.
However, Qian Shulan didn't want to live under the same roof with such a fickle woman at all.
But if Wang Shouzhi divorced Li Caiying like this, would he think that she was unkind and would destroy the bridge after crossing the river? It was really hard to guess what he was thinking. Qian Shulan didn't want to fail at the last hurdle. After thinking for a while, she said, "Then you agree to my three conditions."
Seeing that his mother had given in, Wang Shouzhi quickly agreed, "Okay, you decide."
Qian Shulan thought about it again and again before saying, "First: You can't sleep with Li Caiying." Li Caiying had just had sex with another man, and if she slept with Wang Shouzhi, who would the child belong to if she got pregnant? There was no DNA test these days, and even if there was, it would cost money, and she didn't have so much money that she had to burn it.
Wang Shouzhi was a little embarrassed, but when he met his mother's serious gaze, he quickly nodded and agreed.
Qian Shulan was very satisfied to see that although he was a little hesitant, he still agreed to her request. "Second, my mother must also live in your house to see if Li Caiying has really changed."
Wang Shouzhi thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement.
"Third: Don't tell Caiying about your new job yet. I'm afraid she will ruin your job again."
Wang Shouzhi nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Qian Shulan stepped into the room again, feeling quite proud. Well, she thought she was just a mean person. She wanted to see what kind of expression Li Caiying would have when facing the rising Wang Shouzhi.
Li Caiying walked out of the room in her pajamas. Seeing her calm face, Qian Shulan suddenly had a bold guess in her mind: whose daughter is Xiaodie? Could she be the daughter of Li Caiying and her adulterer? It's possible, but she didn't know when Li Caiying had an affair.
She looked at the photo on the wall. There was a photo of Xiaodie there. Xiaodie looked exactly like Li Caiying. The only difference was their mouths. Li Caiying had thick lips, while Xiaodie had thin lips. Wang Shouzhi had thin lips, so they matched. Their lip shapes were also quite similar, so Xiaodie might really be Wang Shouzhi's child.
However, she had to see what Li Caiying's adulterer looked like to be sure.
Li Caiying was furious when she saw Qian Shulan coming back. She pointed at Qian Shulan and shouted at Wang Shouzhi, "Why is she back?"
Without waiting for Wang Shouzhi to answer, she sprayed at Qian Shulan, "You took the money for five years and promised not to return it. You actually broke your promise!"
Qian Shulan forgot about it after she reminded her. Could she say that she came here to make her son divorce you
But before she could say anything, she saw Li Caiying ready to pounce on her with her teeth bared.
Qian Shulan subconsciously wanted to fight back, but when she raised her leg, she suddenly remembered that she was an old lady now and in poor health, so she couldn't fight her head-on.
Wang Shouzhi was shocked by Li Caiying's desperate attitude.
Not to mention, he has a job now. Even if he didn't have a new job, he couldn't bear to watch his mother get beaten!
He rushed over immediately, pulled Li Caiying's arm away and pulled her aside.
Because he was concerned that she was still his wife, he didn't use too much force, but Li Caiying still refused to give in.
She pounced on her again, and repeated this three times. Wang Shouzhi became annoyed and pushed Li Caiying to the ground.
Li Caiying sat down on the ground and started cursing.
Qian Shulan was pulled several times by Li Caiying. The clothes she was wearing were newly bought by her, and several buttons fell off after she pulled them.
She immediately got angry, sat down on the chair, and said to Li Caiying with a weird smile, "Today, I'm not leaving. There has never been a mother who was driven away when she lived in her son's house. If you dare to be dissatisfied, I will go to the yard and shout, and let everyone in the family compound know how filial you, Li Caiying, are to the elderly. Besides, I said at the beginning that I would not come to disturb you because of the alimony issue, but I didn't say I would not come to disturb you for other things. I miss our Xiaowu, and I came to see him, what? You still want to stop me! "This is a matter of principle. She asked for money to buy food, and she lived here to reform Wang Shouzhi. How could she dig a hole for herself? !
Li Caiying knew that she had been tricked by this old woman. She had never expected that a country woman would play word games with her. Li Caiying could not win the argument, so she picked a weak target. She pointed at Wang Shouzhi and started to curse, "Okay, Wang Shouzhi, what did you promise me? As long as I don't pursue the matter between you and Lin Fang, you will drive your mother away. You promised me with your own mouth, and you dare to go back on your word. Are you still a man?"
When he heard his wife yelling about this, he subconsciously went to look at his mother, only to see that her face looked frighteningly gloomy, and he became frightened as well.
His mother spent both money and effort on him and stayed in the city to help him find a job without any complaints.
Unlike Lee Chae-young, who treated him like a cow just because she found him a job.
What happened between him and Lin Fang happened before they got married. After they got married, he never met Lin Fang once, and he had nothing to do with her at all. But Li Caiying was unreasonable and insisted on making trouble with him.
He had no choice but to agree to her and send his mother back to her hometown.
He always regretted this, especially when he knew that his mother did not return home, lived in someone else's house, and helped him find a job, his guilt reached its peak.
Now, he was annoyed by Li Caiying's suggestion and said to her, "Even if I regret it, so what! There is nothing wrong between me and Lin Fang! You are the only one who keeps making a fuss. This is my home, and the house was allocated to us as a wedding house by the company. Why don't you let my mother move in?"
Seeing his face turn red and look like he was going to eat her, Li Caiying shrank back in fear, and only felt relieved when her back hit the wall behind her.
Qian Shulan was a little dumbfounded. This man's spine was really strange. As long as he had it, he would have everything. The Wang Shouzhi who used to be timid to Li Caiying and didn't even dare to speak loudly was back. She was very grateful and found a job. Of course, she was also grateful for Jiang Yuying's help.
Li Caiying was frightened by Wang Shouzhi's unusual expression. She seemed to remember the scene when Wang Shouzhi pinned her to the ground and beat her that day. Her body trembled twice and she dared not raise her head. While her eyes were dodging, she suddenly saw the black and white photo hanging on the opposite wall. It was a family portrait, which contained her, Wang Shouzhi, her father and Xiaodie.
When she saw her father, she immediately felt confident. She got up from the ground, brushed off the dust on her body, and said to Wang Shouzhi, "Okay, okay, Wang Shouzhi, just wait and see!" Then she pushed open the door and rushed out.
After she left, Wang Shouzhi moved over hesitantly and looked at his mother's face carefully. Seeing that her face was still as gloomy as ink, he felt a little regretful. "Mom, I, I didn't mean it. Caiying threatened me, saying that she would report that I had an improper relationship with Lin Fang. I was worried that she would cause trouble for Lin Fang, so I had no choice but to agree to her."
Qian Shulan gave him a cold look and said, "You don't want me anymore in order to protect Lin Fang?"
Wang Shouzhi lowered his head, feeling extremely guilty.
Qian Shulan looked at his forehead and saw that the filial piety value had become 10. Although it was worth celebrating, she felt that she could not forgive him easily.
"It's right for you to protect Lin Fang, and mother doesn't blame you! Don't you think that Li Caiying's temper was caused by you? Your repeated tolerance will only make her more arrogant. That's why she is so arrogant and has no respect for her elders. You married your wife yourself, and mother didn't force you to do so! You can't blame mother, right? No one is perfect. After you marry your wife, you have to discipline her well instead of blaming others! Xiaowu, when did you become so irresponsible? Where is your backbone? Do you still remember that you are a human being? Why do you lose your human backbone like a cartilaginous animal?" Qian Shulan would never have said this before. Once she said it, Wang Shouzhi's filial piety would definitely plummet.
But now, his filial piety has reached full marks, and now he feels extremely guilty towards her. He should be able to listen to her and reflect on his own behavior.
Just as she thought, Wang Shouzhi's eyes turned red after hearing her scolding, and he knelt down in front of Qian Shulan.
Qian Shulan subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but when she thought of her current identity, she sat back down after standing up.
Not to mention how much Wang Shouzhi regretted. On the Li family side, Li Guocheng repeatedly asked Li Caiying several times, "Are you sure? Do you really want to sue Wang Shouzhi for his poor work style?"
Li Caiying's eyes were full of ruthlessness. She repeated through gritted teeth, "I am sure, I am very sure. I will make Wang Shouzhi suffer. I will make him never be able to raise his head again."
Li Guocheng wanted to persuade her, but he couldn't do it.
He was also annoyed that the old lady didn't keep her word, and was also worried that Wang Shouzhi would puff himself up and bully his daughter. He couldn't let that happen.
Wang Shouzhi cried for a long time, his eyes were swollen, Qian Shulan did not express her opinion, but just let him go to his room to sleep for a while. She got up and went to the kitchen to cook.
Before she finished cooking a dish, she saw several tall and strong men walking towards her.
Qian Shulan quickly pulled out the firewood from the kitchen and stuck it into the stove ash. After the fire was completely extinguished, she took off her apron and walked out.
"Comrade, who are you looking for?"
The leading man was about thirty years old. He glanced at her and said with a smile, "Hello, I am Wu Zhengyang from the union of Beitai Steel Plant. I want to check with Comrade Wang Shouzhi about the situation."
The trade union is responsible for the lifestyle issues of all male employees at Beitai Steel Plant. In a few years it will be renamed the Revolutionary Committee.
Qian Shulan frowned, having a bad feeling in her heart, "Comrade Wu Zhengyang, I am the mother of Comrade Wang Shouzhi. I want to ask, what do you want to see him about?"
Before the man in the front could answer, the shorter man next to him became impatient, "Why are you asking so many questions? This is a confidential matter in our factory. There's no need for an old woman like you to get involved."
Qian Shulan was about to speak when she heard the door behind her being pushed open. Wang Shouzhi came out rubbing his face. When he saw them, he was stunned for a moment and said to the man in front, "Brother Wu, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Wu Zhengyang frowned slightly and said to Wang Shouzhi, "Comrade Li Caiying reported that you are too close to female comrades and have problems with your lifestyle."
Wang Shouzhi opened his eyes wide in disbelief, "What?"
The short man next to him looked him up and down. Seeing that he was fair and handsome, he looked like the kind of handsome scholar described in books who loved to flirt with young girls. So he looked a little cold and repeated it again.
Wang Shouzhi was sure that Li Caiying had really reported him. He wanted to laugh. At noon, he told his mother to give Caiying another chance. Now, his reward came.
He laughed, and laughed so hard that he fell backwards, with tears flashing in his eyes.
Qian Shulan patted his back nervously and kept calling him, "Xiaowu, Xiaowu, are you okay? Don't scare me."
Could it be that Wang Shouzhi was like Fan Jin who passed the imperial examination and became stupid due to the stimulation? Qian Shulan was really panicking.
Fortunately, her worries were completely unnecessary.
After Wang Shouzhi finished laughing, only sadness remained in his eyes. He wiped his tears and said to Wu Zhengyang, "Brother Wu, I believe I have a decent style and have never had any ambiguous relationship with any female comrades."
Wu Zhengyang naturally knew this. He knew Wang Shouzhi. Wang Shouzhi had been working overtime because he felt depressed at home.
He often works overtime for other employees without asking for money.
Everyone in his group likes him very much.
Because it was a steel mill, except for a few female colleagues in accounting and personnel, the workshop was full of men. So it was normal for Wang Shouzhi to say that.
Wu Zhengyang reminded, "She has an affair with Comrade Lin Fang."
Hearing this, Wang Shouzhi breathed a sigh of relief. He said to Wu Zhengyang, "I'll go with you to investigate."
Wu Zhengyang nodded and quickly took the person away.
Before leaving, Wang Shouzhi said to Qian Shulan, "Mom, wait for me at home. When I come back, I will agree to what you said before."
Qian Shulan was stunned when she heard this, and then she realized that he was talking about divorce.
I was so happy that I couldn't contain myself.
Not long after Wang Shouzhi left, Li Caiying came back from her father's place.
When she saw Qian Shulan, she regained her previous arrogance.
Maybe she didn't pounce on him because there were people in the yard.
Qian Shulan, who got what she wanted, didn't care about her attitude at all.
Just based on what Wang Shouzhi said, she could guess that Wang Shouzhi and Lin Fang had nothing to do with each other.
Wang Shouzhi should be back soon.
Seeing her standing there in a daze, Li Caiying shouted at her, "Hurry up and cook!"
Qian Shulan was almost amused by her. She gave her a cold look and said, "I cook for people, what about you? You are worse than pigs and dogs!" After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
She didn't have to cook anymore, she had to find a place to fill her stomach.
The investigation of Wang Shouzhi and Lin Fang was quick. Wang Shouzhi had not been back to the countryside for six years. The subdistrict office had never issued him a letter of introduction, so the investigation revealed this very quickly.
Lin Fang married someone from the next village and had never left the village, so the two had little contact in the past six years.
The dream that Li Caiying described is not enough to prove that Wang Shouzhi and Lin Fang have work style problems.
Wang Shouzhi was soon released.
Qian Shulan did not live in the cotton mill’s family quarters. She was worried that she would vomit if she saw Li Caiying’s face, so she still lived in Jiang Yuying’s house.
Jiang Yuying knew that her son and daughter-in-law were getting a divorce, and she supported their divorce. Qian Shulan was afraid that Wang Shouzhi would lose face, so she did not tell Jiang Yuying about her son being cuckolded. She only said how bad Li Caiying's character was and how bad her temper was.
Jiang Yuying was shocked when she heard this. "How can there be such a shameless woman? She is a disgrace to all of us female compatriots."
Of course, Jiang Yuying also looked down on Qian Shulan's extremely cowardly son. To be able to tolerate such a woman for seven years, he must be a turtle or a reincarnated tortoise.
It must be said that Jiang Yuying guessed the truth of the matter. However, although she thought so in her heart, she did not say it on the surface, otherwise Aunt Qian would not look good. It can be seen that Aunt Qian is really good to her son, otherwise she would not be driven out by her son and continue to worry about him.
Qian Shulan lowered her brows in deep thought. In the morning, she heard from the family compound that Wang Shouzhi and Li Caiying had a fight on the day she left, and Wang Shouzhi even threatened to divorce Li Caiying. But in the end, Wang Shouzhi ran to the factory and stayed there for several days without going home.
It can be seen how soft-hearted this man is. He is hesitant and lacks decisiveness. Although he said that he would divorce Li Caiying, Qian Shulan was really annoyed by his indecisive nature and was even more worried that something unexpected might happen.
Therefore, she had to take advantage of Wang Shouzhi's anger and urge them to divorce quickly.
Qian Shulan shared her ideas with Jiang Yuying, who also agreed with her point of view and helped to give some advice.
When Wang Shouzhi came back from the factory, as soon as he walked out of the factory gate, he saw Qian Shulan looking at him with a worried look on her face.
"Xiao Wu, are you okay?" Qian Shulan looked at Wang Shouzhi's bearded face and knew that he must have had a hard time these days.
During these days, Wang Shouzhi lived in the factory and could not go anywhere. He had to submit ideological reports more than ten times a day, and even at night he was not at peace. He almost had a mental breakdown, but Wang Shouzhi was a very patient person and he gritted his teeth and persisted for three days and three nights.
When the time came, the factory could no longer detain people, and the leaders of the steel plant did not want to embarrass Wang Shouzhi anymore. Although they had promised to help Li Guocheng before, this guy was a tough nut to crack and he just wouldn't give in, and there was nothing they could do.
He is a leader after all, and he cannot be caught by others and accused of using personal interests to pursue official duties and deliberately making things difficult for Wang Shouzhi. That would be bad.
So, when the time came, the leader released Wang Shouzhi.
Seeing her mother's worried eyes, Wang Shouzhi felt warm in his heart and curled his lips, "Mom, I'm fine."
Qian Shulan just wanted to cry. She thought Wang Shouzhi was just going to be investigated, but why did Wang Shouzhi look like he had been put in a sack and beaten for three days? He was so weak and had no strength at all.
Qian Shulan wanted to take Wang Shouzhi to where she lived, but suddenly realized that it was inconvenient. After all, Jiang Yuying was still an unmarried girl, and if Wang Shouzhi went there, it would have a bad influence.
Qian Shulan helped him to the guesthouse.
She asked him to wash up first, and she went back to Jiang's house to make chicken soup. She bought this hen at the black market this morning, but she couldn't bear to kill it. She originally wanted to take it home to lay eggs, but now she can't wait any longer.
Wang Shouzhi was really too weak.
Qian Shulan has now guessed that it was Li Guocheng who was behind this. Otherwise, given Wang Shouzhi's honest character, it is impossible for someone to deliberately bully him.
She suppressed her anger.
Jiang Yuying was resting at home today, so she came over to help with the fire.
Qian Shulan told Jiang Yuying about Wang Shouzhi's miserable condition, which made Jiang Yuying very angry.
Qian Shulan put the stewed chicken soup into a clay pot using an enamel jar.
After everything was done, Jiang Yuying also wanted to go to the guesthouse with her to see Wang Shouzhi.
Aunt Qian was so kind to her. She knew her son had suffered a great deal, and it would be unreasonable for her not to go and see him.
Qian Shulan was afraid that she would offend Li Caiying, so she tried to stop her, "Yuying, listen to your aunt. Li Caiying is not a reasonable person. If she sees you going to see Xiaowu, she will definitely throw dirty water on you. Your aunt can't hurt you. Be good and stay at home."
Jiang Yuying could only nod in agreement.
When Qian Shulan arrived at the guesthouse carrying the clay jar, she saw a lot of people gathered there. Qian Shulan suddenly had a bad feeling.
I ran over quickly and pushed through the crowd. Looking inside, I saw Wang Shouzhi sitting on the steps, holding his chest and breathing heavily. Li Caiying next to him kept criticizing him. From what she said, it seemed that Wang Shouzhi had a problem with his work style.
Qian Shulan put the clay pot aside and walked in front of Wang Shouzhi, only to find that his face had turned from pale to flushed, and his lips were as red as blood. He was obviously having a fever. Her heart skipped a beat. Fever was not a minor illness in this era. She reached out to touch his forehead and felt that the temperature on his head was indeed abnormal. She panicked and looked around for tools, but found that there were no bicycles, carts or the like.
At this time, Jiang Yuying, who had been worried about Aunt Qian, squeezed in from the crowd with a young man who looked like a doctor. The young man seemed to have been prepared. He touched Qian Shulan's forehead, gave her a fever-reducing injection, and told Qian Shulan, "The patient needs to rest well."
The young man and Qian Shulan carried Wang Shouzhi to the guesthouse. Jiang Yuying stood outside with her medicine box, sizing up the man in front of her. She remembered what Aunt Qian had said before and was worried that Li Caiying would talk nonsense again, so she rushed forward to make her uncomfortable, "You are the one who bullied my cousin?"
Li Caiying squinted her eyes and looked at people with disdain, "Who is your cousin?"
Jiang Yuying frowned, "Who else could it be! My cousin has been married to you for seven years, and you didn't give him a penny, leaving him homeless. A woman like you should go to hell, you are unworthy of being a human being."
The crowd all started pointing and talking at Li Caiying. Even though Li Caiying had a thick face, she felt a little uncomfortable at this moment.
Li Caiying tried to squeeze through the crowd, but Jiang Yuying held her elbow tightly. She didn't know what this girl ate to grow up, but she was so strong that Li Caiying couldn't get away. Seeing that the onlookers were all pointing at her, Li Caiying quickly used her hands to pry them away, "You bitch, let go of your hand."
Jiang Yuying naturally refused and held her arm tightly and refused to let go.
Seeing more and more people gathered around, Li Caiying was so anxious that she blurted out, "Hurry up and let me go, or I'll go to the police station and sue you for intentional injury."
Before Jiang Yuying could answer, she saw Qian Shulan coming out of the guesthouse. She squeezed through the crowd and sat on the ground, howling at the top of her lungs. There was nothing she could do. She would definitely lose a fight with Li Caiying, so she could only learn from her original self and become a shrew.
"Oh my God, what kind of wife did I marry? She is a rich lady at home, cooking, doing the laundry, and pushing all the work to my son. Seeing that my son is honest, she orders him around as much as she wants. Oh my God, New China has been established for nine years, and there are still people bullying us poor peasants. Chairman, please come and see, this capitalist lady is bullying us lower-middle peasants, please come and save us." Qian Shulan grabbed Li Caiying's legs and refused to let her go. She slapped the ground and shouted, "My son has been bullied to the point of having a fever, and she is still here making sarcastic remarks and ruining my son's reputation. I will not live any longer."
Li Caiying was furious at this time, especially the onlookers and colleagues who usually looked down on her behavior, who squeezed in and saw her being scolded by her mother-in-law. They all pointed at her. Li Caiying had never been humiliated like this before, and she was so angry that she lost her mind. She kicked her and said, "You dead old woman, you old rural widow, what qualifications do you have to be my mother? You have so many sons, why don't you just think that Shouzhi died outside, why are you still looking for him?"
The onlookers were shocked to see that she refused to repent and began to believe that this girl was really like the old lady said, a rich girl who did nothing.
Seeing her kick, Qian Shulan followed the force of her foot and knocked to the side, pretending that her head was broken. She took out the chicken blood she had prepared from the space and smeared it on her head, then began to scream, "Murder, murder!"
Li Caiying opened her eyes wide and looked at the scene in disbelief. She had just kicked lightly just now. It was impossible, impossible.
Just as everyone was in an uproar, whispering and talking to each other, as if it was a noisy annual meeting, suddenly a cry was heard from the crowd, "The police are here!"
