That evening, she talked to Wu Yongliang about this matter.
Wu Yongliang was also worried about his son and grandson. After hearing Lü Yazhi's words, he said:
“I usually say I don’t care about them, but now that something’s really happened, I’m worried too.”
“Jiandong’s mood was obviously off when he came back from the south. If he had said something, I wouldn’t have been so worried. The fact that he hasn’t said anything suggests that something must have happened in the south.”
Lu Yazhi paused in her tidying of clothes.
"Old Wu, should we send someone to the south to inquire? If we find Li Sumei, we'll bring her back without saying anything else."
Lu Yazhi knew perfectly well that Li Sumei must have a lover outside.
Otherwise, how could her own husband go looking for her and not come back?
Wu Jiandong still looked so lost and dejected.
Wu Yongliang said, "I'll ask Jiandong about it in a couple of days."
Wu Yongliang sighed as he spoke, pounding his arms and legs. When Lü Yazhi saw this, she immediately went over and helped him pound and pound his arms and legs.
He said, "From now on, you shouldn't go to restaurants anymore. I'm afraid your body can't handle it."
Wu Yongliang said, "Since I'm just staying at home with nothing to do, going to a restaurant can at least liven things up."
Wu Yongliang was also worried that if he stayed at home for too long, his feelings for Lü Yazhi would gradually fade. She was busy with work, while he was idle at home. It wasn't that Lü Yazhi cared about that.
It was Old Wu himself who was afraid that in Lü Yazhi's heart, he would become a useless good-for-nothing.
The rumor about Li Sumei finding a lover in the south was still circulating widely, and the person who said this was none other than Li Xue.
It seems that Li Xue took Li Sumei to the South. Li Sumei is, after all, a cultured person. She is tall and thin, and when she dresses up, she is quite charming. Now she not only owns a large clothing store in the South, but also lives in a high-end house.
Li Xue was just an ordinary person. She and her husband lost their jobs and then decided to try their luck in the south.
At first, they did stumble upon a good opportunity and made some money. However, when they were sourcing goods in the south, they encountered an unscrupulous merchant who paid for the goods but only gave them half of the goods. They couldn't even finish the other half.
They sought out small factories to get low-priced goods, but those factories later went out of business.
Li Xue went to the factory to cause trouble several times, but no one was there. Now she has neither money nor goods, so she went to Li Sumei, hoping that Li Sumei could lend her money. Li Sumei knew that Li Xue was in debt, so she naturally did not want to lend her any money and refused without hesitation.
After Li Xue returned to Beicheng from the south, she began to spread rumors that Li Sumei had found a lover in the south.
He drives a luxury car, lives in a high-end house, and even claims to own a clothing store.
Li Xue's words first reached the Li family, and Aunt Li went to the hospital to find Wu Jiandong and ask about her daughter Li Sumei.
Wu Jiandong didn't want to say much, only saying that he still had work to do, and dismissed Aunt Li perfunctorily.
Looking at Wu Jiandong, who always looked down on their family, Aunt Li said unhappily:
“Jiandong, I’m not trying to be mean, but our family used to rely on your Wu family. But now, my Sumei owns a clothing store and a car. If you continue to treat your mother-in-law badly, I’m telling you, if Sumei wants a divorce, I won’t stand in your way.”
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiandong became extremely angry.
He slammed the pen on the table and said coldly, "Then go find Li Sumei now and tell her to come back and divorce me. It's me, Wu Jiandong, who doesn't want to live with her anymore."
Seeing Wu Jiandong suddenly become angry, Aunt Li stopped talking and turned to leave.
Afterwards, she returned home and sent her son to the south to find Li Sumei.
Aunt Li also harbored resentment towards Li Sumei. She had gone to the south to make money, and had previously said that she would quit her job and go to the south to do business, and that once she made money, she would help support her younger siblings.
Now that she's made money, she wants to live a life of luxury and doesn't want to care about her younger siblings anymore.
