Time passed quickly, and soon it was time to go home. In addition to what she exchanged through the system, Qian Shulan bought a total of 2,000 and 200 kilograms of grain in the city.
Five hundred kilograms of grain were given to her by Director Chen of the grain and oil store, and she needed to take it back home. Four hundred kilograms of grain were bought from grain dealers, and the rest were all bought by her from the grain and oil store and on the black market, which was not easy.
She spent less than two-thirds of the more than 1,000 yuan she brought with her, and she also had 800 yuan left by Wang Shouzhi. She felt very regretful. Liuguan County was a small place, and all things were distributed according to quotas. The extra things were very limited, and there was very little food circulating on the black market. She really had money but couldn't spend it.
She had no choice but to go to the department store and buy more ironware. Because these things were in limited quantity, what she could buy by herself was very limited, so she asked Zhang Shitou to find someone to buy them for her.
Then she paid him for his service. Zhang Shitou might have just started the scalping business, so he had very few tickets and was often out of stock. So when he heard that she wanted these things, he immediately agreed.
Industrial products such as iron pots, locks, enamel basins, enamel pots, stainless steel pots, knives, flashlights, etc. do not require tickets now, but these things are in fixed quantity.
After the county department store issued a stop-sale notice, Zhang Shitou even went to several nearby counties to buy it for her. Qian Shulan was very grateful and even paid him an extra five yuan as a fare and reward.
After buying it, she asked Wang Shouzhi to take a day off.
She was going back, but she had promised him that she would treat him to a dog-eat-dog show.
Although Wang Shouzhi has become more cheerful these days, he is still upset about Li Caiying.
Qian Shulan naturally understood this, so in order to get him back to his former self as soon as possible, he had to watch this play.
When Wang Shouzhi heard what his mother said, his eyes lit up surprisingly.
The two of them packed up the things they had collected and tied up the bags with ropes.
These 500 kilograms of food are the food rations for their family.
After they were done, they went to the family quarters of the cotton mill. As soon as they entered, they heard a quarrel. There were three layers of people gathered in front of the Li family's door, all of them were people who wanted to watch the fun and were not afraid of making trouble.
"Xiaowu's wife? What's wrong with you? Where's my mother? Where's my Xiaowu? Where did you hide him?"
This was Wang Shouren's voice. It was still dark, and we drove for several hours before entering the city. As soon as we arrived at the family quarters, we saw Xiaowu's family holding a wedding.
There was a red wedding character on the door, and two strings of firecrackers were set off. But the people getting married were Xiaowu's wife and another man.
Wang Shouren was immediately furious. What was going on? He hadn't seen Xiaowu's wife for only half a month, and she was actually having an affair with another man
Where's his mother? Where's Xiaowu
Wang Shouren didn't care that this was not his home and exploded immediately.
When he thought about how his mother had been sleeping on the streets and suffering these days, he wanted to slap himself. He was such a fool, why didn't he think of going to the city to take a look
Didn't he already know what kind of personality Li Caiying had
But he originally thought that no matter how excessive Li Caiying was, she would not do anything to his mother. After all, his mother was her mother-in-law.
But who would have thought that this would happen.
When Li Caiying saw Wang Shouren, she was also stunned. Seeing that the onlookers were all pointing at her, she was also annoyed in her heart, but she still explained in a gentle voice, "Your mother and Wang Shouzhi are at the Water Conservancy Bureau, you can go to the Water Conservancy Bureau to find her. Wang Shouzhi and I have divorced, and we have no relationship now."
Wang Shouren couldn't listen. Where was the Water Conservancy Bureau? He didn't know. These city folks were more cunning than the rice he had eaten. He didn't believe them. They must want to get her out of the way so they can get on with their business.
He insisted on dragging Li Caiying to give him an explanation. He firmly believed that his mother and fifth brother were harmed by the Li family.
These city people are so bullying.
He sat at the door of the Li family and refused to leave no matter what, and kept asking them to compensate his mother.
Li Caiying and Li Guocheng have never seen such a shameless person. If you want your mother, go find her yourself. Why are you standing in front of their house
People are coming and going, relatives and friends are all watching, and this beautiful day has been turned into a mess by this country bumpkin.
Chen Jianguo's face flushed red. It was because Wang Shouren saw the red flower of the groom on his chest and punched him directly.
Chen Jianguo didn't pay any attention to his movements and was hit unexpectedly, causing his nose to become crooked.
Because he secretly married another woman in the city, he did not inform his brothers and parents in the countryside. So naturally, no one helped him.
The only man was Li Guocheng, but he was an old man and could not compete with Wang Shouren, a strong laborer.
He couldn't be beaten, and he couldn't be persuaded, so what was supposed to be a lively wedding was turned into a mess by Wang Shouren, this brainless idiot.
Qian Shulan's mouth twitched. She didn't expect the boss to be so powerful. This was totally Xu Sanduo. She was secretly proud of herself, but thinking of the next scene, she squeezed through the crowd and walked in.
When Li Guocheng saw the old lady appear, he rushed to her, looking at her as if she were his savior. Although the old lady was old and cunning, she was at least reasonable. Unlike the man sitting on the ground, who was in his thirties and could not make sense no matter how many reasons he gave. He felt like he was playing the lute to a cow.
Qian Shulan waved her hand to interrupt what he was about to say, and bent down to pat Wang Shouren on the shoulder, "Boss, let's go home."
When Wang Shouren heard his mother's words, he immediately raised his head and looked at her as if he were looking at the sun, "Mom, are you okay?"
Li Guocheng next to him wanted to roll his eyes. Even if he really wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't be so impatient. He stabbed someone just a few days after the divorce. Was this to make the police suspect him, or to suspect him
Qian Shulan smiled and patted his arm, pulling him up, "Of course, mother is fine." She glanced at Li Caiying, who had been pale and afraid to speak since she saw her coming, "This daughter-in-law is not filial at all, so mother let Xiaowu divorce her. Mother is looking for a good daughter-in-law for Xiaowu. Let's go home."
Hearing this, Wang Shouren immediately understood and agreed, "You should have retired long ago. You haven't been home to see your parents for more than six years. You haven't given a dime to honor your parents. It's right to retire! It's good to retire!"
Li Guocheng's face darkened. Although he was a little angry about what the old lady said, he was still somewhat satisfied, at least she didn't directly say that his daughter was cheating on him.
Otherwise this happy day will be ruined.
Qian Shulan naturally noticed Li Guocheng's relieved expression.
She snorted in her heart and thought, when the people come, let's see if you can still laugh.
Qian Shulan led Wang Shouren out of the family quarters immediately, and the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Red Flag Hotel.
Wang Shouzhi didn't say anything and just ate in silence.
Qian Shulan then explained to Wang Shouren how she had asked Wang Shouzhi to divorce her and then helped him change jobs. In order to save Wang Shouzhi's face, she certainly could not tell him about Li Caiying's affair.
Wang Shouren had no problem with Qian Shulan's words, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with his mother asking Xiaowu to divorce.
After dinner, Qian Shulan glanced at the door again and saw a group of people walking towards the family area from a distance.
He looked aggressive, as if he was ready to fight someone.
Qian Shulan asked Wang Shouren to drive the carriage to the backyard and asked Du Dahai to help look after it. She took her two sons to the family area to watch the fun.
The family quarters are now in chaos.
Chen Jianguo never thought that his wife, who had always stayed in her hometown and never left the village, would run to the city. Moreover, not only that, even his eldest brother-in-law came with him.
"Dad, why did you get married again?" Chen Jianguo's eldest son Chen Manjin was already ten years old, so he naturally knew what a stepmother was. When he saw that his father had married another wife in the city, he immediately cried out.
The two remaining boys, one five years old and the other three years old, saw their eldest brother crying, and they also rushed forward and hugged their father's legs and howled together. The three rascals cried as if they were performing a big opera, and their cries were earth-shaking.
Chen Jianguo's eyelids kept twitching. No wonder his right eyelid kept twitching when he woke up this morning. He always felt that something was going to happen today. Unexpectedly, something really happened one after another.
First it was Li Caiying's ex-husband's family who came to make trouble, and now it's his turn.
Under the fiery gazes of the crowd, Chen Jianguo suppressed his anger and looked at the rural wife who was dressed in a rustic manner and wearing patched clothes.
He frowned and scolded, "Why are you here?"
Zhang Chunhua kept her head down, rubbing the corner of her clothes with one hand. Her tanned face turned red. She wiped her tears and said with great grievance, "I heard people say that you got married in the city. You are my man, and we live well. Why do you want to marry again?"
Everyone was shocked. This man was really brave. He dared to marry two wives. This was really feudalism.
Those who were curious about the matter quickly slipped out to find the police.
After hearing her words, Chen Jianguo wanted to shake off the three children who were clinging to his legs, but when he thought that he was still relying on these three kids for his retirement, he didn't dare to make any big moves.
He bent down and pulled the hands of the three children apart one by one, explaining to them one by one, "Dad and Mom were arranged by our parents to get married, and they should have divorced a long time ago. Don't worry, Dad has left money for your mom."
The three children didn't understand what was going on, and they just kept crying. Chen Jianguo's head hurt because of their noise, but he didn't mean to explain it to them, but to the onlookers.
So he took a handful of food from his pocket and stuffed it into the hands of the three children.
The two little ones stopped crying immediately when they saw the beautifully packaged candies, but the older one slapped them away. He was already ten years old and knew what divorce was. Naturally, he wouldn't be coaxed by a few candies. He glared at his father, and when he saw a flash of displeasure in his eyes, he shrank back and glanced at Li Caiying next to him.
She was wearing a beautiful flowery dress, her face was whiter than white flour, and her eyebrows were drawn like willow leaves. She looked like a vixen. He immediately rushed towards her like a cannonball, "It's you, the vixen, who stole my father away. I'm going to kill you!"
Everyone was shocked by the boy's actions. After Li Caiying was hit, her stomach felt like it was stabbed by thousands of burning blades. A heart-wrenching pain spread throughout her body. She pushed the boy away fiercely.
The little boy fell to the ground, then quickly got up, his two big round eyes staring at him ferociously.
That look makes one's scalp tingle at a glance.
The brother-in-law who had been chatting with Li Guocheng got furious when he saw his nephew fall to the ground. He ignored Li Guocheng's warning and immediately pushed Li Guocheng away, picked up the little boy, and yelled at Li Caiying, "What's wrong with you, bitch? You are so grown up, but you bully a child. Do you have any shame?"
Zhang Chunhua also had a kind heart and resented this vixen who had stolen her man. When she saw her eldest son being pushed to the ground by her, she immediately pounced on Li Caiying like a lion with its fur standing on end.
The two of them started fighting. Li Guocheng was worried that his daughter would be bullied, so he didn't care about covering up the scandal and immediately ran over to stop the fight.
Chen Jianguo also joined the team to mediate the fight.
There were four or five people, some were trying to stop the fight, some were trying to persuade the fight, some were fighting, and some were fighting back.
It was even more lively than a big opera. But no one came forward. They were all scared by the time Wang Shouzhi went crazy and beat someone up.
Besides, they were not close to Lee Chae-young, and there was no benefit in joining in, so they all became spectators.
Qian Shulan stood in the crowd, tiptoeing and looking inside. Her gloating look was funny to everyone who saw it.
Wang Shouren opened his mouth wide and said in disbelief, "Is that man crazy? He didn't even want his three sons, just to marry this vicious woman."
Wang Shouzhi snorted and curled his lips, explaining, "He did it for work." It seemed that when he thought of his past self, he felt a strange sense of pride in his heart. Although he married Li Caiying for work, he did not hinder others, let alone destroy other people's families. Unlike Chen Jianguo, who abandoned his wife and children for work, he was simply a beast. What else in the world could be more exciting than seeing your ex-wife marry a man who is inferior to you in every way
He looked down on Chen Jianguo anyway, and his original anger at him for stealing his wife was gone. The other party was so stupid that he could kill himself in the future, so why should he be angry
When the police arrived, they quickly separated the three families who were fighting each other.
All three families had scars on their faces.
Li Guocheng, the man who tried to stop the fight, was also affected and had bruises on his face. Not to mention Li Caiying, who had several bloody cuts on her face, which was very creepy.
On the contrary, the farmers, whose skin was tanned and thicker due to working in the fields all year round, were not scratched.
When the police heard that someone dared to marry two wives, they were outraged. Now is the time to abolish the old feudal ideas, and someone actually dared to commit a crime against the law. This should be set as an example.
The police officer stared at Chen Jianguo and was about to give him a lecture when he heard someone pointing behind Li Caiying and shouting, "Blood, so much blood!"
Everyone looked towards Li Caiying and saw a lot of blood between her legs. Was she having a miscarriage
Qian Shulan frowned slightly. So, whose child is this? Qian Shulan looked at Wang Shouzhi, who was also confused. It was estimated that even Wang Shouzhi could not figure out who this child was.
Li Caiying held her stomach and started to cry out in pain. Chen Jianguo supported her and wanted to take her to the hospital, but Li Guocheng pulled him away and glared at him fiercely, "You tell me what to do first, Caiying will be left to me."
After saying this, he didn't care about Chen Jianguo's reaction and found a colleague in the crowd to help carry the person.
The crowd automatically made way for a path. Li Caiying covered her stomach with her hands, sweat dripping down her forehead, and she kept yelling in pain.
When Li Caiying saw Qian Shulan's sarcastic and slightly surprised look in the crowd, she felt that today's incident was related to her.
After the people left, the police began to question, "You and this lesbian are obviously already married, why do you want to get married?"
Chen Jianguo hurriedly explained, "Comrade police officer, Comrade Zhang Chunhua and I were in an arranged marriage by our parents. A few days ago, I applied for a divorce from the Liuguan County Government, and the organization has agreed." As he said this, he took out a divorce certificate from his pocket.
He asked his uncle to write a divorce letter for him, unilaterally filing for divorce on the grounds that his parents arranged the marriage. After writing it, he specifically didn't let his uncle tell anyone.
After the government staff went to the lower level to review, they found that it was indeed an arranged marriage, and they stamped the marriage certificate when they came back. However, Zhang Chunhua was sent back to her parents' home by Chen Jianguo at that time, so she didn't know about it.
Although some people in the village saw the government personnel coming, they did not dare to approach them. In the end, it was the Chen family who was responsible for the reception. Naturally, what they said was what they did.
In the end, they were granted a divorce. However, Zhang Chunhua knew nothing about it, and no one in the village knew about it except a few close relatives of Chen Jianguo.
Seeing that the other party had a divorce certificate, the policeman thought there must be some misunderstanding. He looked at Zhang Chunhua with a stern face and said, "Lady, since you are already divorced, why are you still making trouble?"
Zhang Chunhua was about to open her mouth to explain. Chen Jianguo said, "Comrade police officer, I want to say a few words to Comrade Zhang Chunhua. Is that okay with you?"
Seeing his good attitude, the policeman nodded and said, "Okay, hurry up."
Chen Jianguo nodded and thanked him quickly.
He pulled Zhang Chunhua aside and begged, "Chunhua, it's my fault for the divorce. I did this for your own good. If the villagers knew you were divorced, how would they look at you? I know you blame me. But I have no choice. If I don't marry Li Caiying, she will take back my job. Then how will we raise the children? Our family is burdened with so much, and our father is still sick. I have no choice, so I asked uncle to keep it a secret from you. For the sake of the children, please don't tell anyone about this. If I go to jail, what good reputation will our children have? They might even be labeled as the "five black categories" by then. Can you bear to let the children suffer?"
Zhang Chunhua was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help crying. It was really ridiculous. He divorced her and said it was for her own good. But he was not wrong. Because of her father-in-law's illness, her mother-in-law emptied the family assets. The children have never had a full meal since they were born. She gritted her teeth and said harshly, "Okay, I can not tell the truth, but you have to give me twenty yuan a month. Also, since we are divorced, the children and I have to move out of the Chen family. You have to pay for the new house."
Chen Jianguo was a little unhappy. Isn't this a division of the family? Who will take care of his father? His mother
But seeing that Zhang Chunhua was acting like she was going to tell the truth to the famous policeman if he didn't agree to her, he had no choice but to agree.
After the two discussed it, Zhang Chunhua said to the police, "Comrade police, I know they are getting married. I didn't come here to cause trouble. I just wanted to discuss the child with him. You can't just leave the child to me without giving me a penny. Who would have thought that the child would make a fuss when he saw his father getting married."
The police understood her explanation and enthusiastically gave her some advice, "Do you want us to be your witness? Make a written agreement or something. If he doesn't fulfill his promise in the future, you can go to the police station and sue him."
In the countryside, few people call the police to deal with family affairs. Most of the time, the two families negotiate. However, this policeman is a warm-hearted person and is very responsible, so he actively helps her with advice.
Seeing the police officer being so enthusiastic, Zhang Chunhua immediately nodded and agreed excitedly, "Okay, okay, thank you, police officer." Then she told the police officer the conditions of their divorce.
Chen Jianguo has to pay 20 yuan in alimony to his three children every month, plus build a house.
The Zhang family was satisfied and left with the three boys. The oldest boy looked at his father with hatred before leaving.
Qian Shulan looked at this scene, shook her head and sighed, what's the point of giving money? This kid clearly hated Chen Jianguo.
The crowd watched the group of rural people leave and pointed at Chen Jianguo.
Although it was popular in that era to oppose feudal marriage and choose to divorce one's country wife, everyone still regarded such people as Chen Shimei, and would undisguisedly ridicule and mock them when they saw them.
After leaving the family quarters, Wang Shouren was still a little incredulous, "Mom, do you think that man is stupid? What does he want? Is his job so good? He doesn't even want his son anymore."
Qian Shulan sneered, "I think this family is going to be in trouble."
She patted Wang Shouzhi on the shoulder and asked him maliciously, "Do you feel relieved?"
Wang Shouzhi nodded somewhat embarrassedly, "I feel relieved."
Qian Shulan then told the whole story of her involvement in the matter.
It is no exaggeration to say that she directed today's scene alone.
Chen Jianguo wanted to conceal the truth, but Qian Shulan naturally couldn't let him do so.
As early as when she knew that Chen Jianguo had a wife in the countryside, she asked Zhang Shitou to help her go to the countryside.
Qian Shulan asked Zhang Shitou to find the wife that Chen Jianguo had married in the countryside and tell her that Chen Jianguo was going to remarry in the city.
Fearing that the daughter-in-law was too timid to make trouble, Qian Shulan asked Zhang Shitou to go to the daughter-in-law's parents' home and told him to tell her that Chen Jianguo's new wife was very rich, so maybe he could extort some money from her.
Regardless of whether the woman's family is interested in profit or out of friendship, the other party should take action.
Sure enough, the person showed up at the time she said.
When Wang Shouzhi heard his mother tell him the whole story, his mouth opened in surprise.
He could never have imagined that his mother would do so much for him.
But he still felt a little regretful, "It's a pity that the two didn't fight, and they reconciled."
Qian Shulan curled her lips with a look of disgust, "If you want to wait for their retribution, you have to wait until Chen Jianguo knows Li Caiying's temper, right? This is only the first day of marriage, what can he understand? Even if you wanted to divorce at that time, it would be a year later. Even if he can't tolerate it anymore, he will at least tolerate her for a month. Besides, Li Caiying just lost a child, so it can be regarded as retribution."
Wang Shouzhi thought so too. But the other party could even abandon his wife and son. A Chen Shimei like him could kill himself. Why should he make things difficult for himself
He was really angry about Li Caiying. When she was pregnant with Xiaodie, the doctor told him that Li Caiying had a cold constitution and it was not easy for her to get pregnant. Once she got pregnant, she had to take good care of herself, otherwise it would be difficult to get pregnant again after a miscarriage.
Now that the child has been aborted, she will never be able to have another child. He can guess what the outcome will be. What else is there for him to say
As for whether that child was his, Wang Shouzhi said he didn't want to know at all. It was gone anyway, so there was no point in worrying about it.
After arriving at the Labor Bureau, Qian Shulan took Wang Shouren to Wang Shouzhi's residence and loaded the things she wanted to take home into the carriage.
The two men waved goodbye to Wang Shouzhi and left the Water Conservancy Bureau.
