Chapter 79 This side is a little green
After entering the courtyard where the Lin family lived, Gu Huai went up to the second floor with ease.
When the neighbors in the same yard saw him coming, they greeted him with a smile, then turned around and told others that he was very honest. Lin Siyu had divorced him, but he still brought so many things to see the old couple of the Lin family.
Before Gu Huai even reached the door of the Lin family's small two-bedroom apartment, he heard his brother-in-law Lin Zhongbao's wife scolding him.
"Why did she come back? Isn't she so powerful? Did she say she wanted to return to this family? Why did she come back?"
Qin Shulan: "The school is on summer vacation. If she doesn't go home, she has nowhere to go."
In the morning, Siyu called the public phone of the supply and marketing cooperative, but she was not allowed to answer the phone. She asked someone to tell her that her summer vacation would start on the 28th and she would be home on July 1st.
"It's such a small place, and there are six people living here, plus her, there are seven of us. How can they all fit in? How can a divorced aunt still live at home? She doesn't feel ashamed, but I do." Wei Jingfen's face was full of disgust.
Because her elder sister-in-law was divorced, she, as her younger sister-in-law, had to hear a lot of gossip.
Gu Huai stood outside the door and didn't go in. It seemed that Lin Siyu was going home for summer vacation, and his sister-in-law Wei Jingfen was not happy about it.
Qin Shulan was very unhappy when she heard her daughter-in-law say this about her daughter.
Although her daughter had caused a huge uproar at home because of the divorce, and she also blamed her daughter for divorcing Gu Huai, causing them to lose face in front of relatives, friends, and neighbors, she was still her daughter after all.
"Where else can she go if she doesn't go home? It'll only take a month or two, and it will pass if she just bear with it."
"Where are you going? To her mistress's place..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qin Shulan raised her voice to interrupt her daughter-in-law, her face looking very ugly.
Wei Jingfen sneered, "I'm talking nonsense. If your good daughter hadn't hooked up with someone outside, she would have been able to get into university and divorce Gu Huai."
"Gu Huai is such a good man. If he didn't have someone else outside, only a fool would divorce him. After she got divorced, while waiting to go to school, she ran out every day. If she wasn't seeing her lover, who was she seeing?"
"I've seen that man before. He's a gentle man wearing glasses. They were even holding hands on the street. They really have no shame at all."
Once when she was taking a break, she saw her elder sister-in-law dressed up beautifully and about to go out again, so she followed her and saw her going to the bookstore with a gentle man wearing glasses.
Qin Shulan: “!”
She also saw people.
"She pretends that no one knows and is still pretending. What are you talking about..." Wei Jingfen rolled her eyes and imitated her elder sister-in-law Lin Siyu's way of speaking. "For the sake of this family, you forced me to marry Gu Huai, whom I didn't like. I endured and suppressed it for eight years. Now that my family is doing well, and I have given birth to four children for Gu Huai, I don't owe anyone anything. I want to go to college and pursue the life I want."
"It's obvious that she wants to live with her lover. Who can she be worthy of? The person she feels most sorry for is Gu Huai." Her ex-brother-in-law was really unlucky to marry a woman like Lin Siyu.
Gu Huai gripped the string of the net bag tightly. After Lin Siyu was admitted to university, she insisted on getting a divorce. He had suspected that she had someone else outside and had asked her about it.
But what he got in return was her cold, disdainful rebuke, "You don't care about your own heart, so you can only think about these dirty things. I want a divorce, not because of anyone else, but simply because I don't like you, I hate you, and it's uncomfortable to even breathe under the same sky with you."
He also reflected at the time, wondering if it was because he had a dirty heart and was a bad person, so after so many years of marriage, Lin Siyu didn't like him and even hated him.
But the fact is, Lin Siyu has someone else outside!
Gu Huai only felt a faint green color on his head.
"Fen'er, don't tell anyone about this." Qin Shulan looked at her daughter-in-law in a flattering manner.
Wei Liangfen rolled her eyes. "How can such a thing be glorious? I'm not going to tell anyone about it."
"Your elder sister-in-law is back. Don't make trouble with her. She's a college student. After she graduates, she'll be assigned a job. I heard that when college graduates are assigned jobs, they usually get good jobs as officials."
"When she gets a good job and makes money, you, Zhongbao and Longlong will definitely be there for her." Qin Shulan patted her daughter-in-law's shoulder to comfort her.
Wei Jingfen curled her lips and said, "If she hadn't divorced her brother-in-law, we would have to wait three or four years to enjoy it, right?"
"When she was still married, when did our family ever lack anything? We always brought everything back from my brother-in-law's house. When you weren't taking care of the kids at my brother-in-law's house, you could get ten yuan from me every month. If we needed anything for the family, we would get money from me. What about now?"
"There is nothing left. Longlong can't even eat milk powder. He can only eat meat a few times in a month." Wei Jingfen touched her son's chubby little face with heartache. She always felt that her son's face became thinner after he had no milk powder.
Because my elder sister-in-law didn’t bring money home, the food costs at home plummeted.
Hearing this, Gu Huai frowned. He gave the rest of his monthly salary to Lin Siyu, except for about ten yuan for himself for pocket money.
When he wanted his mother-in-law to take care of the child, he discussed with Lin Siyu that he would give his mother-in-law twenty yuan every month.
Lin Siyu scolded him for treating her mother as a cheap maid and insulting her mother with twenty dollars.
He raised the money to thirty, and two years ago, his daughter-in-law became pregnant, so his mother-in-law stopped taking care of the child and went home to take care of her daughter-in-law.
Naturally, he never gave the money again. He had discussed with Lin Siyu that every Chinese New Year, they would give 20 yuan to each of the two elderly people in both families as a tribute.
But he didn't know that in addition to this, Lin Siyu also gave ten yuan to her mother-in-law's family every month, and she also paid for anything the family lacked.
No wonder Lin Siyu only had 150 yuan left when she divorced.
He earns 100 yuan a month and a 200 yuan bonus at the end of the year. There are many children in their family and she can't cook, so they often eat in the cafeteria. Their expenses are higher than other families, but it's not so bad that they have only saved 150 yuan in the past eight years.
Gu Huai suddenly felt that he was a fool for asking Lin Siyu to take away all the 150 yuan when they divorced because he still remembered that Lin Siyu had given birth to four children for him.
"Sucker," these three words Aunt Wang said to him rang in Gu Huai's ears.
Isn't he just a sucker?
"Mom will buy some meat tomorrow and make you your favorite steamed pork with rice flour." Qin Shulan coaxed her daughter-in-law in a low voice.
Wei Jingfen snorted and stopped arguing.
My mother-in-law is right. My elder sister-in-law is a college student after all. The job she is assigned will definitely be good after graduating from college.
They still can't make things too serious and make their relationship too strained, otherwise they won't be able to enjoy the benefits in the future.
