"She could have picked up trash to earn money to support you, but she didn't want to do it. She insisted on asking you to show up in public and run to the front door to borrow money. It doesn't mean she loves you that much."
Jiang Zao spoke seriously, looking at Xiao Chengda pitifully, as if he was admiring and pitying some great injustice.
Xiao Chengda didn't feel sorry for himself at first, but after what she said, his life after the divorce became even more miserable!
"She's a middle-aged woman from the countryside. She doesn't have much money to eat or drink. Her life is hard enough, and you actually want her to pick up trash. How can you be so cruel at such a young age?"
Xiao Shuisheng is so blind that he found such a wife. He is so unlucky.
Seeing him getting carried away, Jiang Zao asked, "Three thousand five hundred was gone in the blink of an eye. Is her life hard? She spent three thousand five hundred in a few months. She couldn't finish it even if she ate pork every day."
"The money hasn't been spent yet! We still have money in our hands." Xiao Chengda's face turned purple and he didn't allow anyone to say anything bad about Qin Taoxian.
Tao Xian was a good woman, virtuous and family-oriented, warm to her family, willing to devote herself, always spoke softly, and never disobeyed him. After the divorce, he felt that his life was very happy and he had no regrets at all.
Jiang Zao's eyes flashed with a gleam. "Oh? You have money, but you still come back to borrow it. Could it be that your second wife and your stepdaughter whispered in your ears, why did you divorce and move out, why did you give all your son's money to your ex-wife? She loves you so much, she really loves you too much. If you divorce her, she will definitely not say a word."
"You think Qin Taoxian is really nice, and you also feel like you've been wronged by your ex-wife. Coincidentally, someone whispered something in your ear, saying you didn't have any money and went home to ask your son to borrow it. It's only natural for a son to be filial to his father. If you don't pay them back, they can't do anything to you. Can they even sue you?"
How is it possible that three thousand and five hundred is gone just like that?
If Qin Taoxian spent all the money recklessly or lent it to relatives and friends, would Xiao Chengda live with her honestly and borrow from his son when he was short of money?
If you think about it carefully, nothing makes sense.
Jiang Zao thought about it for a moment and guessed the whole story.
Xiao Chengda had already realized that he had said the wrong thing, but Jiang Zao's words came at him like a barrage of cannonballs, leaving him powerless to defend himself.
“You…you…”
"I have money in my pocket, but not that much. Three thousand five hundred is almost all I've spent. Doesn't renting a house cost money?"
After Xiao Chengda finished speaking, he felt unconfident.
How come Jiang Zao’s guess was so accurate?
She had guessed the characters, the dialogues, the causes and consequences. No wonder the family was in turmoil because of her. How many tricks did she have?
Xiao Chengda was afraid that if he stayed here, Jiang Zao would reveal more things to him: "If you don't want to lend it to me, then don't lend it to me. I don't need your money."
After all, he was a prominent figure in the past, but now he left with his head down and a little panicked, which was really sad to see.
With so many people in the streets, no one could have guessed that Xiao Chengda was pretending to be poor!
Xiao Wensheng's vision darkened. He raised his hand to his forehead, his cheeks crackling as he bit them. "He's truly unreasonable. Fortunately, I didn't lend him the money. He even cheated his own son. He's hopeless."
Xiao Shuisheng had never had as much affection as Xiao Wensheng since he was a child. He had never invested too much emotion in his life, so naturally he wouldn't feel disappointed. He comforted him: "It's good to see things clearly through this incident. At least you made the right choice this time."
Gu Xiufang sighed, and couldn't understand why Xiao Chengda had become like this.
It had been a few months since the divorce.
She slowly recovered from her hurt mood, and had no other emotions except anger. It was good to take care of the children by herself. She could spend her own money, and the children would give her a few dollars from time to time. She had to work to pass the time, and she had little free time, so she lived a fulfilling life.
There is also less laundry to do, as I only have to wash my own. No one will snore next to me at night, and I can go back to my parents' home whenever I want during the holidays.
The neighbors looked at Gu Xiufang with pity in their eyes and said a few words to comfort her. Gu Xiufang responded with a smile and called her family home for dinner.
Xiao Chengda did not leave immediately. He walked to the entrance of the alley, turned around, stood still, and secretly looked over here.
He found that Gu Xiufang was not angry or crying at all. Instead, she was talking to the neighbors with a smile. She also said that the sweet potatoes from the garden would be harvested in a few days and she would share them with everyone. She didn't pay any attention to him at all.
I feel inexplicably empty inside.
I was happy when I got divorced.
In middle age, he changed his wife, who was his childhood sweetheart, the one he had been thinking about for several years. At first, they were very passionate on the kang at night. Taoxian always brought him fresh feelings, and he couldn't stop. After sleeping for several nights, his body could not bear it.
Everything was fine, but it didn't feel real to him.
I hugged Qin Taoxian at night, but the person in my dream was Gu Xiufang.
He dreamed of her dancing. When she was young, her cold eyes and face didn't like flattery, which was another kind of good. The feelings that were difficult to express in his dream were suppressed in his heart.
He still felt that divorce was right, but...
He wanted so much to see Gu Xiufang come back to please him.
Xiao Chengda returned to his new home with a heavy heart, and all his family members were there.
It was the weekend and Xiao Qiang also came back.
When Xiao Chengda looked up, his anger surged from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.
In the yard, Qin Taoxian washed clothes for Xiao Qiang and Huang Wanqing brushed shoes for Xiao Qiang. The mother and daughter worked diligently, but what about Xiao Qiang?
In her hand, she was holding a small basket made of playing cards. In this era, people would do some small handicrafts. There were snack baskets made of playing cards, and there were string baskets made of playing cards. They were convenient and durable, and the patterns were more beautiful than those made with kraft paper and paste.
Xiao Qiang sat on a chair with her feet on a stool, holding a basket in her hands. In the basket was the Mao Ke fried last night. The Mao Ke skin was slightly browned and cooked just right. She vomited while eating, and the ground was covered with the Mao Ke skin.
Xiao Qiang was wearing Huang Wanqing's slippers, and her feet were swinging happily.
This scene fell into Xiao Chengda's eyes.
Qin Taoxian and her daughter were tolerant in everything, but Xiao Qiang couldn't sit or stand properly.
Xiao Chengda was already in a bad mood after being offended, and seeing this scene made him even worse. He closed the door with a sullen look on his face: "Xiao Qiang, take your feet off the floor and sweep up the hair and skin!"
"Your stepmother washes your clothes and your sister brushes your shoes, but you don't even bother to help out. You're so lazy and gluttonous you're almost as fat as a pig. What a disgrace!"
Qin Taoxian was so kind to Xiao Qiang that Xiao Chengda felt guilty. He shouldn't have had such a wild thought about Gu Xiufang right at his doorstep. How could he be worthy of Taoxian?
Xiao Qiang was eating with relish. The melon rind was crispy and fragrant, and she couldn't stop eating. But suddenly she heard her father yelling and cursing, which scared her so much that she almost fell off the chair.
Xiao Qiang wasn't afraid either. She said to Qin Taoxian coquettishly, "Aunt Qin, look at my dad. He's scolding me again. I finally have a day off, so why does he just want to be mean to me? Doesn't he know that I'm under a lot of pressure from studying?"
