Chapter 91 Give an Explanation
In the past few days after the heavy snow, Meng Shulan was at school and did not feel anything. She had no idea that the village was in turmoil because of the matter between Meng Changli and Huang Jialin.
There are too few entertainment activities these days, and there is not much work to do in the fields in the winter. The only pastime is gossiping.
This incident happened in Tongguan Town, which is far away. Except for a few parties involved, other people didn't know the relevant situation at first. They just felt it was a little strange and that the atmosphere between the Huang and Meng families was a little wrong.
As for the Huang family, the old couple must be trying their best to cover it up in order to save face.
It was a scandal in the first place, and the Meng family would never tell anyone about it.
Everything was calm in the past few days. Although the atmosphere was a little strange, no one thought about it that way. They thought that something had gone wrong with the Meng family's business. After all, the sound of sewing machines had not been heard in the past few days, and the mother and daughter of the Meng family had not been seen setting up a stall outside.
This actually satisfied some people, but they were secretly laughing at the Meng family for overestimating their own capabilities and thinking that it was easy to make money out there.
It was not until this morning when the police station and the Women's Federation came to the door that everyone realized that it was not a business matter, but a matter of that nature.
The courtyards in the countryside are all made of earthen fences and have no sound insulation at all.
With those people coming over, everyone rushed over to watch the fun, and some things naturally could not be kept secret.
In fact, the Meng family did not hide it, they just didn't tell anyone.
When they heard that Huang Jialin was imprisoned, everyone gasped. This was a serious matter. Not to mention his job, he might even have to go to jail.
For a while, the village was as lively as New Year's Day. There were many different opinions about this matter. At first, everyone was shocked and puzzled, and some even called Huang Jialin a good-for-nothing.
But after I calmed down after cursing, I started to think that this matter might have become too big a deal, and in the end both sides would suffer and no one would benefit.
Between husband and wife, especially men, some things are unavoidable. They can be overcome by being patient. Why do you have to fight to the death and ruin someone's job? What will happen to the two children? Who will raise them?
In everyone's mind, even if Meng Changli got divorced, she would definitely remarry.
What woman doesn’t want to get married?
But if she remarried without a child, it would be fine, but who would be willing to marry with two children? Of course, she could also find those old bachelors who were incapable of finding a wife, but judging by the way the Meng family loved their daughter, this was impossible!
There were also some people who were very angry and felt that Meng Changli did nothing wrong. Who could endure that situation? It was reasonable for them to call the police.
But these are other people's ideas and have nothing to do with the Meng family.
Meng Changli's determination to divorce has not changed.
So, when the old couple of the Huang family came to discuss things with their daughter and son-in-law at noon, she simply drove them out of the yard.
Those people used her two children to negotiate conditions, but she was not afraid. She drove them out of the village with a grass rake made of bamboo strips.
Seeing that there was no room for negotiation, the Huang family also made some harsh remarks.
They can divorce, but the two children are the Huang family’s own and cannot be given away.
Meng Changli’s marriage had already failed, and her two children are now her life.
The villagers are not well educated and don't understand these things. No one around them has divorced and there are no precedents to look at, but everyone generally believes that the child belongs to whomever's surname the child takes.
After all, Meng Changli had been to the city and shook hands with senior leaders, so her thinking was no longer on the same level as these people.
However, she did not understand the law and was still a little worried. What if the Huang family insisted on taking action? Would the Women's Federation and the police station support them?
Meng Shulan said: "They are just kidding. They are the party at fault and will not get support even if they go to court. In addition, Huang Jialin is unemployed now. If he has to go to jail later, he will not be able to raise the child and the case will not be awarded to him.
Sister, don’t be afraid. Not only do you want the custody of the two children, but you also want the Huang family to pay the child support.
They came here to make trouble, just to bet that we don't understand and deliberately try to cheat us."
Xu Huajun also said: "Shulan is right. As for this matter, let's go to the town together tomorrow and report the relevant situation to the Women's Federation. We can't let them delay, they must solve it for us immediately."
Although Xu Huajun is not irritable, he is also impatient.
Who can tolerate their family being bullied like this?
Meng Changli nodded, and her eyes slowly turned red.
These days, she has been handling all the big and small matters by herself. Although she has the energy to do anything while holding her breath, she is still holding on.
Now that my brother and sister-in-law are back, I have someone to help me and someone to rely on. As soon as I relax, I start to feel uncomfortable and aggrieved.
The next day, the family finished their breakfast and prepared to go to town.
This time, the whole family is out, and it depends on how the Women's Federation and the people in the town deal with it.
The family had just packed their things and carried their bamboo baskets when Meng Chenggong came back driving a donkey cart.
The donkey cart belonged to Captain Ye. Meng Chenggong didn't say anything. Not long after he left, the donkey cart was delivered to his door.
hehe……
So if you want to get something done or borrow something, face is very important.
Meng Chenggong and his wife were wearing coats and military caps, and the family looked very imposing.
When he met villagers he knew along the way and asked about what happened to Meng Changli, Meng Chenggong said, "The Huang family bullied my sister, and I have to ask the town for an explanation."
When the villagers heard this, they gasped.
Before Meng Chenggong joined the army, he was the village troublemaker who liked to use his fists to negotiate things with people.
Later, when he joined the army, I thought he would learn a lesson and his temper would be restrained, but he only learned the rules, his temper did not change, and he was still very irritable.
Meng Chenggong had many merits in the army, and he married a woman with a good background. Not to mention their small town, even people in the county and city would think twice before offending him.
Now, those people in the town office are probably going to have a headache.
Sure enough, the Huang family's donkey cart had not yet reached the town. The people waiting at the intersection saw it from afar and hurried back to the office to report the news.
In the small office in the town, Secretary Wu and the old couple of the Huang family were discussing this matter.
When they heard that Meng Chenggong had arrived, the three of them looked unhappy.
Secretary Wu suddenly felt his collar was a little tight. He pulled it, took out a small cloth bag from his pocket, handed it to Huang Yaozhong and said, "Old Huang, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I can't. I can only guarantee you, and you can handle the rest by yourselves."
Huang Yaozhong directly pushed Secretary Wu's hand back and said, "Big Brother, I know you tried your best. These are just to invite you to drink, there is no other meaning, don't think too much."
Zhuang Bailu also said, "Yes, Brother Wu, you have already done a great favor by helping to transfer Jialin over and act as a guarantor for him. We will handle the rest ourselves."
The old couple looked at each other, got up and went out.
Outside the office, Huang's two daughters and sons-in-law came over.
The two sons-in-law had different expressions and it was hard to tell what was going on, but the two daughters were sad and looked worried.
Zhuang Bailu said, "I'm here. It's just in time. Let's go pick up your brother together."
