The work has been taken care of, and the next thing is to take care of the children.
Qian Shulan didn't want Wang Shouzhi to have any involvement with Li Caiying anymore, and she had to break off the relationship completely, so fighting for the child was the key.
So when Li Guocheng said, "Xiaodie belongs to our Li family, and we will give you 500 yuan," Qian Shulan immediately objected, "No, this child is from our Wang family, we will never give her to you. Besides, everyone has a clear eye for your daughter's character. I don't want Xiaodie to grow up to be like your daughter. That would be a disgrace to our Wang family, and I will never be able to rest in peace in the grave in the future."
Hearing such humiliation, Li Caiying's eyes widened, her eyes were full of poison, as if she wanted to tear Qian Shulan to pieces. All the suffering she had endured in prison was caused by this old woman.
Although her father bailed her out, she still stayed in prison for seven days. During these seven days, she was beaten more than a dozen times, and each time she was beaten until blood was drawn before those people let her go.
That would have been fine. What was even more hateful was that right after she came out of there, the factory notified her to go through the procedures for retirement due to illness. It was called retirement due to illness, but in fact it was a euphemism for dismissal. If it weren't for her father, she would have been asked to pack up and leave. These days, she has been looking for Chen Jianguo, hoping that he would marry her, but he kept talking about other things and failed to give her a clear answer. Li Caiying was a little suspicious, so she asked someone and found out that Chen Jianguo already had a wife in the countryside. He was not a widower as he said before. For the sake of her own reputation, Li Caiying had to swallow her anger and endure it.
When she saw Qian Shulan, who was dressed in new clothes, Li Caiying felt sick in her heart. It was all the fault of this old hag. If she hadn't come to the city, she and Wang Shouzhi would have lived happily as before. She cast her eyes on Wang Shouzhi, her eyes blinking with tender love. In the past, she used this trick to make Wang Shouzhi fall deeply in love with her, but she obviously miscalculated. Since he came in, Wang Shouzhi has been keeping his head down and not saying a word. Li Caixiang's seductive eyes were like throwing them to a blind man.
Li Guocheng originally thought that the old lady was just bluffing and would never let her son divorce his daughter, so he asked someone at the street office to help suppress Wang Shouzhi's divorce application temporarily. However, the other party insisted on getting a divorce. In the end, the people at the street office felt that the old lady had embarrassed herself too much in front of their door, so they wrote them a letter of introduction. The government has also approved his divorce application.
When Li Guocheng's plan failed, he asked his friends in Beitai Steel Plant to put pressure on Wang Shouzhi. He wanted to let Wang Shouzhi know that if he continued to make trouble, he would lose his job. But who would have thought that the old lady was not playing tricks. She actually knew the county magistrate's youngest son and changed his job to someone else. It was clear that she wanted to fight him to the death.
He has scolded this old lady a thousand times in these days, but he has never seen a mother who would betray her son like this.
Li Guocheng looked at Wang Shouzhi, who was extremely cowardly, and cursed him in his heart. The old people in this world have never been able to get over their own children. But he was so good! He actually asked his mother to take the lead for him in everything.
Qian Shulan saw that Li Guocheng's eyes were always on Xiaowu, so she frowned and said straight to the point, "All the money Xiaowu earned over the years has been saved by your daughter. I can make a profit by raising a pig, but raising such a son is simply giving it to your Li family for free. You, the Li family, are doing something very wrong. Don't blame me for being cruel! I was forced to do this."
Hearing this, Li Guocheng turned back to look at his daughter. Seeing her evasive look, he knew that the old lady was right. He originally thought that his daughter just didn't give money to her in-laws, but he didn't know that she even held Wang Shouzhi's salary in her hands. He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. No wonder the old lady was so cruel. It turned out that his daughter went too far. In front of outsiders, he didn't want to lose face for his daughter, so he scolded Li Caiying sternly, "Take out the money quickly and share some with others."
Li Caiying pouted and sneered, "I won't! You even helped him find a job. Why should I give her the money I earn?"
Li Guocheng was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
Qian Shulan didn't care whether Li Guocheng was sincere or not. She stood up from the chair and said, "You two should discuss it carefully. We don't need the house. We can leave it to Caiying. The money earned by Xiaowu and Xiaodie in recent years must belong to our Wang family. In the future, we can just pretend that we don't know each other." The house was definitely not available. This house was allocated to the cotton mill employees. After Wang Shouzhi and Li Caiying divorced, the house would probably be taken back by the factory and allocated to other employees. After all, this house was just a temporary residence, and the ownership did not belong to them at all. She said it generously, but in fact everyone knew it.
When Li Guocheng heard that she wanted to snatch Xiaodie away, his face turned ugly and he immediately objected, "Absolutely not." He glanced at his daughter and saw that she had not taken the money, so he gritted his teeth and said, "In addition to the money your son earns, I will give you an extra 500! As long as you give up Xiaodie."
Li Caiying was a little embarrassed. She was her father's only daughter, so shouldn't his money belong to her? She immediately stood up from the stool and shouted, "No! I absolutely disagree!"
Qian Shulan didn't want to waste time arguing with the two of them, so she whispered to Wang Shouzhi, "Xiaodie is about to finish school, go pick her up first."
Wang Shouzhi nodded his head, and Li Caiying sneered disdainfully, "You are so useless!"
Wang Shouzhi looked at Li Caiying with a gloomy face, which made her hair stand on end. Qian Shulan didn't want Wang Shouzhi to be upset, so she patted his shoulder and urged him, "Go quickly."
After Wang Shouzhi left, Qian Shulan sat down again and stared at Li Caiying's eyes, "Li Caiying, let me ask you, is Xiaodie Xiaowu's daughter?" She was testing whether Xiaodie was Wang Shouzhi's daughter. She couldn't be sure just by looking at her appearance. So she had to see Li Caiying's reaction. After all, people's subconscious minds will not lie.
As soon as these words came out, Li Guocheng and Li Caiying were stunned. After they realized what was going on, they both stood up from their stools with an embarrassed look on their faces, staring at her angrily with their eyes wide open, as if they wanted to fight Qian Shulan to the death.
Li Caiying pointed her finger directly at Qian Shulan's nose and shouted, "What do you mean? How dare you doubt that Xiaodie is not Wang Shouzhi's daughter?" She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly realized, "Oh, I was wondering why you wanted Xiaodie. So you wanted to throw dirty water on me and extort money from me. You vicious old hag, how can you be such a vicious elder?"
Seeing Li Caiying's extreme reaction, Qian Shulan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Xiaodie was Wang Shouzhi's daughter. Otherwise, when she won the custody of Xiaodie and raised the child with great effort, she would find out that the child was not Wang Shouzhi's. Wouldn't Wang Shouzhi be upset
Qian Shulan, feeling relieved, waved away Li Caiying's hand, and looked straight at her with an icy voice, "Why would I ask this? Others may not know, but how could you, a woman of loose temperament, not know? Last Sunday, I went to the family compound to look for Xiaowu, and saw with my own eyes you and Comrade Chen... making love in this room. Tell me, did I slander you?"
After hearing this, Li Caiying was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she looked at Qian Shulan as if she had seen a ghost.
Li Guocheng was obviously shocked by Qian Shulan's words. He quickly looked at Li Caiying to confirm whether this was true.
But when he saw his daughter's expression, he knew it was true! It was over! It was over! It was true! His daughter actually dared to do such a thing!
This is actually adultery, a disgrace even more serious than being unfilial.
She. She. She.
Li Guocheng slumped down on the chair, and Li Caiying followed him and sat down timidly.
Qian Shulan snorted and threatened, "If you don't give me Xiaodie, I will let everyone in the county know that your daughter is having an affair with a man. Let's see if she can go out again in the future." Then she pretended to be annoyed and deliberately slapped herself, "Look at what I said, your daughter is not forbidden to go out, I'm afraid she will never be able to enter the house again." In this era, the punishment for adultery is very severe. Although she didn't have any specific punishment from her original memory, Qian Shulan had seen people mention it in the forum when she was online before, so she could remember a little bit. If it weren't for Wang Shouzhi, she would have revealed this matter a long time ago. Just thinking about it makes her angry.
Qian Shulan saw Li Guocheng looking at her and smiled at him strangely, "Are you curious why I didn't tell you until now?" She curled her lips and showed a very creepy smile, "Because I want Xiaodie. I don't want our Wang family's children to be as shameless as your daughter! Such a disgusting woman is not worthy of being a mother. If she had a little love for her daughter, she would not do such a shameless thing!" Of course, she couldn't say this for Wang Shouzhi. Anyway, these two people never really understood Wang Shouzhi's character. Otherwise, they would have seen that Wang Shouzhi had psychological problems.
Qian Shulan had tears in her eyes. Li Caiying's incident reminded her of her mother. Like Li Caiying, her mother was caught having an affair with another man in the woods.
At first, everyone would scold her mother for being so fickle and her adulterer for being so hateful. But gradually, everyone turned their attention to her father and her. They said her father was useless and not a man, and couldn't even take care of a woman. They said she would be like her mother and have affairs with others sooner or later. When she was a child, she suffered a lot because of these bad reputations. At first, she would argue with others, but later, as more and more people started to talk about it, she slowly learned to be patient.
Sometimes rumors are like a knife. No matter whether the other person is guilty or not, you will be stabbed as long as you stand in front of it.
Just like her father, why did he have to move to the city? It was because he was afraid of being criticized by others behind his back, so he had to live in the city. He even cut off contact with his family.
Although she has grown up, she will never forget the scene of being scolded by other children when she was a child. How can parents put their children in such a difficult situation just for the sake of momentary pleasure
Therefore, she hated her mother, and even when her mother wanted to restore the mother-daughter relationship with her later, she decisively refused.
Some harm, no matter whether you intended it or not, once done, cannot be undone for life.
Li Caiying looked pale, lowered her head and said nothing. Li Guocheng also looked ashamed. He never thought that his daughter would one day follow in her mother's footsteps.
Seeing their expressions, Qian Shulan said bluntly, "Xiaodie must belong to us. If you insist on having Xiaodie, then there is no need for me to keep this secret for you. Don't think that I have no evidence and haven't caught the adulterer. My son just divorced your daughter. If I tell this now, everyone will know that your daughter was divorced by our Wang family because of her improper behavior. It is better to guard against the mouths of the people than to guard against the river. You should understand this principle."
Li Guocheng looked at the old lady in front of him. Although she had a warm smile on her face, the light in her eyes was like a devil that had escaped from hell, holding sweet candies to lure people into her trap.
He now finally understood one thing: this old lady was not simple.
Seeing her daughter-in-law cheating with her own eyes, the old lady was able to hold back until this moment, and it must be said that her calmness was a hundred times stronger than his. No, there are definitely no more than a hundred people in this world who can endure such a great humiliation.
He could now guess why the old lady had waited until now to reveal Caiying's affair. If she had let on a little in advance, he would have found a way to fight back.
But she kept it a secret. When he was busy processing the bail procedures for Caiying, she quietly changed her job. When the two families started negotiating, she revealed the matter. The ownership of the child and the money Wang Shouzhi had earned over the years must be handed over. It was a good hand. It was a waste of talent for such a person to stay in a small place like Liuguan County.
While Li Guocheng was in admiration, he felt nervous and even scared. His throat rolled, and he took the teacup to his mouth to drink some water, but found that his left hand was shaking. He quickly suppressed it with his right hand, put the cup down, looked into the old lady's eyes, and finally said, "Okay, Xiaodie is yours!"
Qian Shulan smiled with satisfaction and took out an application form for household registration transfer from her bag.
Li Guocheng uttered a "huh". His original plan of "agreeing first and delaying time until I come up with a plan" was also thwarted by the other party. She was telling you clearly that if you don't sign now, she will run to the yard and spread the news.
By then...
Li Guocheng shook his head, not daring to think further.
He touched Li Caiying's arm, but Li Caiying looked scared.
As long as you are human, you have a sense of shame. Li Caiying felt ashamed to death when her dirtiest and ugliest side was seen by the person she hated the most. She was now worried that this old hag would expose her affairs.
At that time, she would definitely be sent to a labor camp for reform, or be walked on the street with her worn-out shoes hanging on her shoulders and watched by people.
No matter which outcome, she couldn't bear it.
So, Li Caiying did not struggle and signed obediently.
After signing, Qian Shulan clasped her hands together, her expression very relaxed, "I just calculated Xiaowu's salary over the years. It's a total of seven years. During these seven years, Xiaowu's salary fluctuated greatly, so I took the average, 35 yuan a month, 420 a year, and 2940 for seven years. Minus the 600 yuan pension for me, there is still 2340 left. Xiaowu has no bad habits, does not smoke or drink, and has no other expenses except food and clothing. I will assume that he spent 730 yuan on clothes over the years. You just need to pay me another 1600 yuan."
Seeing her calculate so quickly, Li Caiying was unwilling to accept it, but she still went into the house to get the money. But when she opened the money box, she found that there was only more than 2,300 yuan in the house. How did the old woman calculate the account
Li Caiying has the habit of keeping accounts, because she loves money very much. Every time Wang Shouzhi brings home his salary, she will write it down. She opened a small book in the cash box and found that the total price recorded in the last line was almost the same as that calculated by the old woman. Li Caiying was so upset that she wanted to let her father find such a good job for Wang Shouzhi if she had known this day would come. She made so much money, but in the end she didn't get a penny. For so many years, she has been an accountant, and not a penny of the money belongs to her.
Even though Li Caiying was reluctant, she had to bow her head under the eaves. In the end, she still took the money obediently.
After Qian Shulan finished counting the money, she took out another piece of paper and said, "It is written on this paper that you can come to see the child on the first day of every month. If you want to take the child to live with you, you must get the consent of Comrade Wang Shouzhi or me. Otherwise, you cannot take the child away privately. You are not allowed to marry the child off without our consent."
Li Guocheng naturally had no objection to the contents of the paper. He really liked Xiaodie. This agreement had no major impact on them. Why bother to upset the other party
As for Li Caiying, although she didn't love Xiaodie very much, she was the child's mother after all. Did she need to be sneaky to see the child? As for getting married? Xiaodie was only five years old. It would take at least ten years for her to get married, right? This old hag was really hard to describe. After signing and pressing her fingerprints, Li Caiying wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but she thought of her threat and swallowed the words back.
Qian Shulan packed her things into her bag and left without looking back.
Li Guocheng's outstretched hand was retracted awkwardly.
He patted his clothes and said to Li Caiying, "Who is the adulterer?" He just said it? How could there be a mother in this world who hoped that her children would divorce? This is where the emotion came from.
Li Caiying was a little scared when she met Li Guocheng's red eyes. She shrank her neck, lowered her head, and replied uncomfortably, "It's Chen Jianguo."
When Li Guocheng heard that it was him, he slammed the table in anger.
This man came to his house half a month ago and asked him to help find a job. At first, he saw that the man was generous, so he thought that he could just write a recommendation letter and find a temporary job, so he agreed.
A few days ago, he just arranged for someone to work as a temporary worker in the factory, and it turned out that he had an affair with his daughter.
He was so angry that he rolled up his sleeves and was about to beat the brat, but Li Caiying stopped him, "Dad, if you go to him now, it's obvious that I have something to do with him. You should think about how to suppress this matter now. Do you really believe what that old hag said? I'm cheating on her son, how could she keep a secret for me? I like Chen Jianguo, and I want to marry him."
Li Guocheng naturally didn't believe Qian Shulan's promise. But the situation just now was pressing, so he had no choice but to nod and agree. But was his daughter really going to marry that Chen Jianguo
He is in his early thirties and obviously married. How could Caiying marry such a man
Haha, at this moment he forgot that Li Caiying was also a divorcee and was not much better than others.
Li Guocheng rubbed his forehead with a headache, and said, "Then you should marry Chen Jianguo! After you get married, even if that old woman complains to others, everyone will just think she is taking revenge."
After hearing this, Li Caiying's eyes flickered. She bit her lip, lowered her head, rubbed her toes on the ground, and said hesitantly, "He has a wife in the country."
What? Li Guocheng's eyes widened like cowbells! He stretched out his hand to slap her. But when he saw her ashamed face, he couldn't move his hand.
He sat on a chair, leaning on the corner of the table, exhausted from his daughter's affairs. "What are you going to do?"
Li Caiying thought for a moment, "Isn't my job gone? I'm just looking for someone to take over. As long as Chen Jianguo divorces his country wife and marries me, I'll give him my job."
Li Guocheng disagreed, "Aren't you worried that he will kick you out after he gets a job?"
After hearing this, Li Caiying also hesitated.
Li Guocheng suddenly said, "I'll ask Lao Qi to transfer your position to my department. If he knows what's best for him, I'll make him a team leader in the future. If he doesn't, I'll keep him under pressure and won't let him get ahead."
Li Caiying applauded after hearing this! At the end, she was a little unwilling, "Do we still need to deal with that old hag?"
Li Guocheng was stunned. Want to deal with it? Find a way to get rid of people without anyone noticing. He has done this before.
But if this sure thing is discovered by the old lady, she will definitely take revenge on him. Moreover, in order to rescue Caiying, he had done a lot of favors, and there were still a lot of debts to repay. How could he make another enemy for himself? He shook his head and sighed, "Forget it, the two families have no relationship anymore, why bother to provoke her. She is not afraid of wearing shoes when she is barefoot, but we are not."
Li Guocheng shook his head and refused, and Li Caiying said nothing. In the end, she was still embarrassed and felt that she didn't have the courage to deal with Qian Shulan.
Outside the house, Qian Shulan heard the conversation between the two clearly. Oh, here comes the handle. The man has a wife. If the woman shows up at their wedding, will they fight
By then, the fact that Li Caiying stole someone else's man would be exposed. This bad reputation would make Li Caiying too embarrassed to leave the house. How long could Chen Jianguo tolerate a woman who had no job, no children, no beauty, no good temper, had a history of having affairs, and couldn't do housework
So interesting!
Qian Shulan could even imagine the dog-eat-dog scene between the two.
Qian Shulan was still laughing out loud even when she was far away from the family quarters.
When she arrived at the Water Conservancy Bureau, she gave all the 1,600 yuan to Wang Shouzhi. Wang Shouzhi couldn't open his eyes when he saw so much money, and he kept laughing. He took out half and gave it to Qian Shulan, "Mom, I'll keep half, and you can spend the 800 yuan! It's my way of honoring you."
Qian Shulan didn't refuse and accepted it with a smile, "If you need money in the future, come to me again!"
Wang Shouzhi nodded.
Qian Shulan thought for a moment and said, "In the future, buy more food coupons and store more food. There won't be enough food at home."
Wang Shouzhi didn't think much about it. The countryside was indeed much worse than the city, so he immediately nodded and agreed.
The author has something to say: The reason why the heroine asked her son to change his job at the steel mill was because that job position should not be wasted.
As for the work of the Grain and Oil Bureau, it has not yet begun and everything is subject to change.
