Chapter 86 Marriage Fraud
Both sides are working-class families, so they are a good match.
Such a union offered neither party a superior or inferior position, neither taking advantage of the other. Both Wang Gang and Liu Meilan were known for their strong personalities, unwilling to yield. When a matchmaker introduced them to a woman from a wealthy family, both Wang Gang and Liu Meilan politely declined.
They think that they are not much worse than others, so why bother to marry into a better family and spend their whole life trying to please the girl.
There's no need for that.
So when Wang Mingjie officially started dating Song Sanchun, the whole family was very satisfied. Because Song Sanchun was exactly the daughter-in-law they imagined, with a stable job, decent looks, and good at managing life. That was enough.
Having said that, no one thought about it anymore. Even though Liu Meilan noticed that Wang Mingjie's behavior was a little strange, she thought he was getting married and was too embarrassed to say it.
It was not until the wedding was over and the New Year was approaching that Liu Meilan noticed some clues.
At first, everyone was taking things home.
Wang Mingjie received some cooking oil, milk, meat, and other items for the Lunar New Year. When he took them home, Liu Meilan went out to meet him, took them in the courtyard, and walked around several times, saying they were gifts from her son's workplace.
Because the cotton mill didn't give out anything and the retired workers didn't get much this year, Liu Meilan could show off as much as she wanted.
After showing off for a while, Wang Mingjie returned home and took out another card, saying it was a shopping card issued by his company, from a department store.
Liu Meilan was going crazy. Holding the card, she sighed repeatedly, saying that her son was really promising.
While waiting for Song Sanchun to come back, Liu Meilan saw that she had empty hands and asked in confusion why she had not given anything.
Song Sanchun stammered that the factory's performance was not good this year, so no distribution was made.
The hat factory and the cotton mill were far apart, and none of her friends or relatives worked in a hat factory. Liu Meilan learned about Song Sanchun's job from a matchmaker. She only knew that the hat factory had been restructured some time ago and merged with several garment factories to form a limited company.
No matter how bad the performance was, it was too unethical for the factory not to give out a single melon seed during the New Year. After Liu Meilan scolded him harshly, she wondered while cooking whether Song Sanchun had taken all the food to his mother's house.
This kind of thinking is like a flood that has been released, rushing down without stopping.
Liu Meilan was wondering how many things her daughter-in-law had sent to her parents' home. After thinking about it, she asked quietly during dinner. The meaning was very clear. She meant that if a factory didn't give out some things during the New Year, it didn't mean that they didn't give out any things, but that they sent them to her parents' home.
Song Sanchun couldn't stand such questioning. She had just married and hadn't figured out Liu Meilan's temper yet. She was also shy and couldn't help crying.
She wiped her tears while eating, not daring to say a word, just crying.
Liu Meilan became a heinous criminal, and her son scolded her, and her husband also criticized her.
Liu Meilan was angry and quarreled with the two men. Finally, she glared at Song Sanchun fiercely, stood up and went out.
In the next few days, Liu Meilan didn't say a word to Song Sanchun.
The New Year soon arrived, and Wang Fang brought Xin Tianyi back to the cotton mill compound from the provincial capital.
Li Zhiye also boarded the train back home, planning to spend the New Year at the cotton mill with Wang Fang this year.
Wang Fang came back two days early and lived in the house she had bought before.
The house had not been lived in for a long time and was covered in dust. It took Xin Tianyi and I a whole day to clean it.
The next day, Li Zhiye also came back. It was New Year's Eve, so the three of them went to pay New Year's greetings to Wang Yuxiu.
Li Zhiye rarely comes here, but when he does, he'll empty the shop. The three men, loaded down with stuff, so full they couldn't fit even a single needle or thread, happily entered the house, but there was no sound from inside.
Xin Tianyi walked in first, and there was no one in the living room.
Xin Tianyi put the things down and called out, "Grandpa, Grandpa."
Wang Yuxiu came out of the bedroom and finally relaxed his frown when he saw Tianyi. "You're here."
Li Zhiye quickly called out "Dad" and presented all the health products he had bought.
The old man didn't care about this. He just glanced at them and asked everyone to sit down and talk.
After chatting for a few minutes, Wang Fang had already walked around the kitchen and saw that there was nothing in the kitchen, empty everywhere.
In previous years, during the Spring Festival, the family would prepare some buns, meatballs, fried foods, etc. Although it was not as rich as when Xie Mei was around, there was never a time when nothing was prepared. But today, I looked around the kitchen and found that nothing was prepared.
And Wang Yuxiu was the only one at home.
Wang Fang asked, "Dad, where are my family members?"
Wang Yuxiu's brow furrowed again and he sighed, "Don't mention it."
Not long after the wedding, Liu Meilan, the mother-in-law, stopped talking to her daughter-in-law. She grew increasingly angry, and, wanting to prove she had not wronged Song Sanchun, she thought over and over again, and finally came up with a plan: she rode her bike to the hat factory.
The original hat factory no longer exists. It changed its name after the merger. Liu Meilan didn't recognize anyone and just wandered around the door.
I struck up a conversation with the old man guarding the gate and asked him if he had received any gifts for the New Year.
The old man smiled from ear to ear and said, "Yes, it's quite a lot. After the reform, the benefits have increased. Even he got a share during the New Year."
Liu Meilan was immediately annoyed, thinking, "I've caught you now." She was also afraid that Song Sanchun would deny it, so she decided to go all out and directly drag her out to confront her face to face, thus clearing her name.
After saying that, she did it and asked the uncle to help her call Song Sanchun from the previous hat factory.
This call didn't matter, everything came to light.
Liu Meilan didn't know how she got home. She sat on the sofa in the living room and thought for a long time. Finally, she called Wang Mingjie and said that she was not feeling well and asked Wang Mingjie to come back quickly.
Then he called Wang Gang and took Wang Mingjie to Song Sanchun's house.
When they arrived at Song Sanchun's house, they blocked her in.
It turned out that Song Sanchun was laid off during the restructuring and lost his job, but he kept it a secret and didn't dare tell anyone.
Later, Wang Mingjie found out and helped to keep it a secret, but he was afraid that the secret would not last long. Once Liu Meilan and Wang Gang knew that she had lost her job, there would be no chance of getting married.
After discussing it, the two decided to just get married without asking for permission later.
After Song Sanchun got married, she still left early and came back late every day, but she went directly to her parents' home every day and returned home after get off work in the evening.
Liu Meilan was so angry that she almost died. What was the point of celebrating the New Year?
The Song family is clearly committing marriage fraud!
This is not over yet!
