Chapter 19 The divorce application has arrived
Zhong Qiao put down the book in his hand, and suddenly recalled the scene in the yard earlier.
The young man in the Zhongshan suit was carrying a suitcase. His eyes were cold and aloof, like the unmelted snow on the cold mountain for thousands of years. His whole aura was telling everyone to stay away, and he blended into the snow.
Crane White.
The name is quite fitting for me.
Zhong Siqi noticed that she was not in the right mood, so he leaned over and asked, "Sister, what's wrong?"
Zhong Qiao was stunned for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"It's okay, I must have been worrying too much."
This name sounds a little familiar. It’s the same name as that of a great man in my previous life.
Zhong Qiao lowered his eyes, tapped the table slowly with his index finger, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
I am really a frightened bird, becoming so cautious at the slightest sign of trouble.
Their family shouldn't be so unlucky as to be associated with such a sinister and vicious big shot.
after all--
In the previous life, he was a ruthless and murderous villain who was not to be messed with.
It is said that he was disfigured in his early years due to revenge from his enemies and became extremely ugly.
But from what Zhong's mother said, Ji Hebai studied medicine, and looking at his appearance, she directly disparaged her scumbag ex-husband to the point that they were completely unrelated.
"Qiao Qiao!"
The door opened, interrupting Zhong Qiao's thoughts.
Mr. Zhong came in happily, followed by a chubby auntie with a grin that showed her teeth.
She didn't come in, but just stood outside the door. When she saw Zhong Qiao, her expression changed slightly and she nodded at her in a friendly manner.
Zhong Qiao smiled back politely.
Zhong Shao waved at her and motioned her to come in.
The fat aunt shook her head, picked up the vegetables in her hand, turned and left.
Mr. Zhong was so happy that his face was beaming with joy. He ran to the bed with a piece of paper tightly clenched in his hand.
He handed over the paper in his hand and said, "Qiao Qiao, the Xu family has already applied for divorce, but we have to wait until the end of the month. We have to go to the Xu family. The court staff will go to the countryside. You have to confirm the contents of the divorce decree with that beast of the Xu family in person and sign it."
Zhong Qiao's eyes lit up and he quickly took the notice.
It was clearly written in black and white, and the production brigade reported it to the court. Xu Shaojun applied for divorce, but clearly asked Zhong Qiao to give up the custody of Xu Yaozu.
And this is exactly what Zhong Qiao has always dreamed of.
"That's great." Zhong Qiao murmured to himself as he stroked the divorce application written in black and white.
She had been waiting for the divorce decree for half her life, and finally got it.
She was finally going to be free.
After a long while, Zhong Qiao seemed to have thought of something, and said solemnly, "Mom and Dad, in addition to getting a divorce, I also need you to accompany me to the factory. They are holding part of my salary."
"Factory?" Father Zhong was shocked for a moment. "You still want to work in the factory to support those people from the Xu family?"
Zhong Qiao nodded awkwardly.
Alas, it's all a dark history. She is more love-brained than Wang Baochuan. She gave up her good life as a Hong Kong lady and went to work to support her husband's family and her scumbag husband!
She really doesn't want to mention it anymore!
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong were overwhelmed with emotions.
I loved my daughter for more than ten years and never let her touch the dishwater. But because I didn't know the right person, I got married and she suffered so much.
Alas, they didn't know what to say.
Zhong Qiao lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
In her previous life, after she applied for maternity leave, it was not approved, so Zhou Ping forced her to stay at home to take care of the Xu family. After she gave birth to two children, she wanted to return to work, but was made difficult by Director Zhou from the factory.
It seems that anyone can ride on your head and pee and shit.
Maybe it was because he had been a soft persimmon for too long, so in this life, no matter divorce or anything else, Zhong Qiao was determined to take back everything that belonged to him.
"Qiao Qiao."
Mrs. Zhong held her hand.
"Don't worry, your dad and I will be with you this time, no one will dare to bully you."
Zhong Qiao glanced at the hand being held, felt warm in his heart, and nodded.
After a long time, she raised her head and looked at the evergreen trees outside the window.
The Xu family, Xu Shaojun, everything, it's time to put an end to it all.
Time passes.
Apart from the days in Hong Kong, Zhong Qiao can be said to have lived the happiest and most comfortable time.
Mother Zhong felt sorry for Zhong Qiao's weakness after giving birth, so she didn't let her worry about any household matters and tried her best to nourish her body.
In the difficult environment of 1976, other families had to eat porridge and cabbage for every meal, but the Zhong family always gave the good food to her.
After school, Zhong Siqi took Wanwan to the yard to play with the dog and appreciate the flowers.
Zhong Siwan was still young and didn't understand anything, but children always like to scratch things with great strength. He often grabbed Zhong Siqi's hair with lightning speed and wouldn't let go.
Zhong Siqi screamed in agony after being caught, his face twisted in pain, but he was still saying in surprise: "Wanwan, you are awesome! You can even catch your uncle! You are so smart."
Even if Zhong Siwan farted, he would follow behind and say it smelled so good and was so loud.
Although Mr. Zhong was not happy with the child, he was no longer as repulsive as before.
Zhong Qiao eats well, sleeps well, basks in the sun in the yard from time to time, and reads and writes in his spare time.
Her originally haggard complexion gradually regained its color, and she had some of the liveliness of her girlhood. In addition, after all the experiences in her past and present lives, her temperament became calm, like aged wine that had been settled.
On the other hand, the Xu family has not had a good life since Zhong Qiao was taken back to her parents' home.
At dawn, the Xu family was sleeping soundly when they heard crackling sounds coming from the kitchen.
Zhou Ping took a sip of water, and spat out the saliva on the ground with a "he tui" sound. She finished washing up in one go. She wiped the foam from the corner of her mouth and started to prepare breakfast for the whole family.
I went into the kitchen and cooked.
Zhou Ping grabbed a handful of muddy cabbage from the ground and hesitated.
"Oh, it's not clean, but you won't get sick if you eat it." Zhou Ping sighed, simply rinsed it with water, and then started chopping it with a knife. She boiled a pot of water, added some rice and tofu.
She thought of her two precious sons and made some egg soup.
Breakfast for a family of four is ready.
The Xu family had already been awakened by the noise.
Zhou Lili had to go to work early in the morning. The noise made her head feel dizzy. She kicked off the quilt and rushed to the kitchen.
"mom."
When she saw Zhou Ping, her anger was immediately extinguished and replaced by fear.
"Are you cooking again?"
Zhou Ping poked her head viciously: "You lazy bastard, if I'm not the one cooking, do you do it? Why don't you go call your two brothers to eat?"
"Brother hasn't come back at all. I wonder which woman's bed he's sleeping in and hasn't gotten up yet." Xu Lili covered her head and muttered.
"What?" Zhou Ping didn't hear clearly and frowned.
"It's nothing, nothing." Xu Lili didn't dare to say this to her mother's face, as her mother would definitely get angry again.
Zhou Ping lifted the lid of the pot and a wave of hot steam hit her face. She stirred the egg soup with a spoon until it was evenly mixed.
"Why?"
Xu Lili looked out and suddenly found that the newly built stove was cracked, and the edges of the two large pots and three sinks used for hot water were crawling with ants.
"Mom, when did this stove crack and become crawling with ants? Is it okay?"
Zhou Ping took a look.
She has severe night blindness. It was dawn in the morning and the power was turned off at home. The newly replaced tungsten filament incandescent bulb was of the wrong wattage, and the 15-watt light only dimly illuminated the entire kitchen.
Zhou Ping didn't notice the ants running around on the stove from beginning to end.
"It's okay." Zhou Ping waved her hand. "Your mother cooks very cleanly. Go call your brother and the others to eat."
Since Zhou Ping had said this, Xu Lili curled her lips and naturally had nothing to say.
She turned around and called Xu Shaojun.
Xu Shaojun, who had been reviewing his lessons late at night, was now staring at the wooden beam with empty eyes, his eyebrows twitching.
He is a light sleeper and what he hates most is any noise while sleeping. He can't fall asleep if there is any noise.
After Zhong Qiao returned to her parents' home, her mother started cooking. The kitchen was neither big nor small, but she could make a war-like noise in it.
He hasn't slept for several days!
"Second brother, eat."
Xu Lili knocked on the door three times as if calling out to a ghost, then walked away yawning weakly.
Xu Shaojun tried to close his eyes, but a burning pain came from his eyes which had not been closed all night.
I’m sleepy. So sleepy.
But he still has to go to class.
Xu Shaojun sighed deeply.
Zhou Ping brought out a pot of vegetable and tofu stew and placed it heavily on the dining table.
"Mom!" Xu Lili was about to cry, "Why is it the same thing every meal? I'm about to vomit."
"You're the only one who's meddling." Zhou Ping rolled her eyes at her. "I told you to call me big brother, but where is your big brother?"
Xu Lili muttered softly: "Brother didn't come back all night, how would I know where he went?"
When Zhou Ping heard this, she didn't say anything. After all, the neighbors all knew what kind of person her eldest son was. Today he was either drinking with his friends or climbing into the bed of a married woman.
She has no control over it and is used to it.
Fortunately, I have a smart and sensible second son.
Zhou Ping put on a gentle and loving expression and handed a large bowl of egg soup filled with her motherly love to Xu Shaojun.
"Son, you use your brain a lot. Come, have a bowl of egg soup to replenish your energy."
"Mom, you favor my second brother even when cooking. Why do I only get vegetables and tofu?" Xu Lili bit her lip, her eyes full of resentment.
Zhou Ping frowned and said, "How can it be the same? You are a daughter and will marry into another family in the future. If you want to eat eggs, go to your in-laws and ask for them. Don't beg like a beggar in my house!"
Xu Lili was so angry that she was shaking and her eyes were sore. She couldn't argue with Zhou Ping, so she turned her face away and kept silent.
"Come on, son, drink."
Zhou Ping smiled so sweetly and pushed the egg soup forward.
"This is something my mom made with great care. She even put two eggs in it."
