Chapter 114 Missing Him
The case between Huang Jialin and Jiang Tao did go to trial.
Because the case was small and the process was simple, it was completed in less than an hour.
On the way from the school to the bus station at the town entrance, Meng Changli told her sister about the situation in general.
The case was decided in court, and Huang Jialin and Jiang Tao were each sentenced to three years.
If Jiang Tao had not taken all the blame at the beginning, she would not have been sentenced so severely. But there is nothing she can do now. The initial step had a huge impact on her.
Meng Changli: "I think she was quite happy. She was even smiling at the audience when she was taken away."
Meng Changli could probably guess what Jiang Tao was thinking. Their sentences were similar, and they would be released at the same time, so there was no need for them to wait for each other.
Meng Shulan: "Did anyone from the Women's Federation go there?"
Meng Changli nodded.
"After the trial, those people also said that they have prepared the relevant materials. I will go to the county with them on Monday to submit the application."
Huang Jialin is going to go to jail, but he is still unwilling to give in on the issue of divorce from Meng Changli.
Mediation is no longer possible, so we have to sue.
In this case, the Huang family is the party at fault, and they will definitely be able to get a divorce as long as they file a lawsuit.
However, Meng Changli had a verbal transaction with Jiang Tao last time.
At that time, Jiang Tao took on everything for Huang Jialin in order to marry him.
When Meng Changli went to see her that day, she told Jiang Tao that she would only divorce Huang Jialin if he went to jail, otherwise Jiang Tao could forget about marrying into the Huang family.
Huang Jialin was at fault in his marriage. In the current social environment, divorce is only possible with the woman's consent, otherwise it is impossible.
At first Jiang Tao didn't believe it, because she knew Meng Changli, a very pure and strong person who could not tolerate any injustice.
This matter has been reported to the police station, so the marriage must be divorced.
Who would have thought that Meng Changli would also start to give up and insist on keeping that position and not letting her take it.
That day, Meng Changli tempted Jiang Tao by saying, "Instead of spending a few years in jail and being looked down upon, it's better to drag Huang Jialin down with you. Then no one will have to look down on anyone, and Zhuang Bailu won't be able to use this to pressure you. It will be good for you."
And since both of you are in there, you don’t have to worry about him meeting someone else outside and forgetting about you. It’s double insurance.
Jiang Tao, whether Huang Jialin and I can divorce depends on you.
Don't worry, I'm a man who keeps his promises. The case will be decided today, and I will file for divorce tomorrow..."
In order to get married, Jiang Tao listened to the advice this time.
The mother and her two daughters arrived at the station. He Jinqiu took the ox cart that came to pick up passengers and went back first. Meng Changli had something else to do and wanted to take her sister to see the yard she had found in the town a few days ago.
A few days ago, when looking for a store nearby, Meng Changli took a fancy to a courtyard, but the house was not privately owned, but belonged to the street and was public property.
This yard faces the street, so it would be convenient to do business in the back if we take it over, and we can even set up a stall in front of the door.
The yard is next to the town cinema and used to be a small food processing factory that made tofu mooncakes and the like.
After the policy was relaxed in the past two years, some villagers started making tofu themselves and selling it from village to village. The tofu business in the town was not doing well, and mooncakes were now supplied by the non-staple food factories in the city, so this place was closed and abandoned for almost a year.
Meng Changli went in to take a look through the people at the cinema. The place was very nice, with houses, yards, and specially separated workshops.
It's just that the other party doesn't rent it, which makes her a little angry.
But now, they have obtained the business certificate, although it is temporary, they can give it a try.
Meng Changli went to the cinema first, found an acquaintance she had made in the past two days, and then asked this person to take them to the street office.
It was Saturday and the office had to be working, so when the three of them arrived, the person in charge of the street was there.
The three people were received by a middle-aged man in his forties. After looking at the certificate handed over by Meng Shulan, he did not agree immediately. He said he wanted to inquire about the situation and discuss it with the people in the town office.
From a flat refusal to the possibility of negotiation, this is already a big progress, and the official opening policy will be released in a few days, so this matter can basically be accomplished.
But we still have to keep a close eye on it. Once it is fully opened, there might be competition in this area.
On the way back, Meng Shulan said to Meng Changli, "Sister, go to the town office these two days to find Director Tang and tell him about this matter directly to see if he can help us. If we really have to wait for news from here, I'm afraid someone will compete with us."
Apart from having an older brother in the army, the Meng family has no other background or foundation.
Although Meng Chenggong is very capable, he is so far away that only big things can be done with him, and he can't take care of these small things at all.
At present, the only person their family has some contact with in the town is Director Tang.
Meng Changli said: "Okay, I'll listen to you."
The next day, since it was not a market day, Meng Shulan spent the day at home reading.
In the afternoon, when riding a bike to return to school, Meng Shulan told her sister about the divorce and the house rental, and said she would go to the school to find her if there was any progress.
Riding her bike to the town, Meng Shulan subconsciously looked at the road leading to the city.
Although she knew very well that it was impossible to see anything, she still had some inexplicable expectations.
It has been ten days since Gu Hansong left.
When he left, he said he would be back in about half a month. I don’t know if things are going well outside or whether he can come back on time.
He still has the car.
So, if he comes back, he will come to the school to find me first.
According to the plan, it will be around Thursday or Friday. I don’t know which day I can see him.
I didn’t feel much when he was around before, but now that he’s gone, I still miss him a little.
Meng Shulan felt that their friendship could no longer be maintained.
If she continues like this, she won't be able to hold on for much longer.
In the few days after returning to school, Meng Shulan was always on the lookout to see if anyone would come to see her.
Until Friday, she didn't wait for anyone, but the news of liberalizing private enterprises was officially announced.
There is a special place next to the school bulletin board for posting newspapers, and someone changes it every day.
Because newspapers contain some content related to social trends and current political affairs, many people read them, especially the classes that are about to take the college entrance examination. After school, everyone will find time to line up under the newspaper column.
It was Hu Bifang who told Meng Shulan the news of the liberalization of private enterprises. The two of them hurriedly finished their breakfast, went to the kitchen to put the rice bowls, and then ran to the newspaper stand holding hands.
Although Meng Shulan already knew that the news would come out in the next few days, she was still very excited when she saw the newspaper.
At noon, Meng Changli also came to the school to find her sister.
She was wearing a coat and had her hair tied up, and her smile was bright and beautiful.
"Shulan, you're coming down, you're finally coming down."
Meng Changli opened her arms and held her sister in her arms.
