On the way back, Tian Shengnan sighed, "I never thought that Qian Qiusheng was so great. He's already cheated on, but he still broke with his family for Chu Wan'er."
"It's pointless for Qian Qiusheng to make a fuss anymore; Chu Wan'er has already decided to marry that older man," Wen Xi said helplessly.
Chu Wan'er had already spent the night with that older man, so naturally she couldn't marry Qian Qiusheng. Moreover, the Qian family disliked and despised her so much that she knew she wouldn't have a good life if she married into the Qian family. Furthermore, Qian Qiusheng had broken ties with his family, which meant that even if she married him, she wouldn't be able to live in such a nice house. She had originally wanted a big house, but now that she didn't have the chance, she naturally gave up.
Although the man was old and had three sons, older men love their wives, and since she didn't have parents-in-law yet, she could take charge of the household as soon as she married into the family.
After comparing the options, Chu Wan'er chose that man. Captain Qian had already issued them a marriage introduction letter, and now they were just waiting for him to go to work to get their marriage certificate.
Chu Wan'er didn't want to get a marriage certificate because she was still dreaming of returning to the city. She thought she could go back to the city quietly in the future. However, everyone in the team knew that you had to get a marriage certificate before you could get married, and the old man was afraid that he would end up with nothing, so he naturally wouldn't agree to her not getting a marriage certificate.
Chu Wan'er has moved out of the educated youth settlement and into her husband's house to live with him. After all, they are already together and will be getting their marriage certificate in a couple of days, so no one can say anything about her.
Now Qian Qiusheng is all alone, heartbroken and devastated. He's truly lost everything. For Chu Wan'er, he dumped his fiancée of two years, whom he was about to marry. Now his fiancée is gone, and Chu Wan'er is with someone else. Not only has his family lost 500 yuan, but they're also being gossiped about by everyone. His family now hates him to the core.
His fiancée was lucky to discover he was this kind of person before marriage. Otherwise, if she had found out Qian Qiusheng was cheating on her after marriage, she would have had to suffer for the rest of her life, because divorce was not an option at that time.
It's better to suffer for a while than to risk your entire life.
Zhu Jiawen's wife left their son with the Xu family, letting Zhu Jiawen take care of him. Everyone assumed that Zhu Jiawen's wife had returned to the city alone. Little did they know that Zhu Jiawen's wife was also a ruthless character. She actually reported that Zhu Jiawen had married two wives, so Zhu Jiawen was quickly taken away for investigation.
Actually, she was supposed to go to the countryside with Zhu Jiawen back then, but unexpectedly, her family found her a temporary job, so she didn't have to go to the countryside.
Zhu Jiawen said he was afraid that their relationship would fade after they went to the countryside, so he wanted to get married first. She was in love at the time, so she agreed. After that, she married Zhu Jiawen, but they did not get a marriage certificate; they only held a wedding banquet.
After Zhu Jiawen went to the countryside, she lived with her parents-in-law. She handed over her entire monthly salary, because her parents-in-law would get angry and act sarcasticly if she didn't.
After being tormented by her in-laws for several years, what didn't she understand? Zhu Jiawen was afraid that his parents would be left without anyone to care for them, so he married her before he went to the countryside, so that she could use her salary to support her in-laws and send them supplies to Zhu Jiawen.
She was certain that if her job had been permanent instead of temporary, Zhu Jiawen would have coaxed her into giving him the permanent position, and she would have gone to the countryside alone.
She suffered so much at Zhu Jiawen's house, so naturally she should repay Zhu Jiawen for it all. Why should she suffer so much while Xu Xiaohong gets to live a good life with Zhu Jiawen?
So she chose to report Zhu Jiawen. When they investigated, it was true that Zhu Jiawen did have a wife in the city and a wife in the countryside. As a result, Zhu Jiawen was sentenced to ten years in prison, and his family's social class was changed to the "bad" kind. She also took her child and published a notice in the newspaper to sever ties with Zhu Jiawen, because she didn't want her child to be affected by Zhu Jiawen.
Wenxi and her friends were sent-down youth. They had no relatives to visit, and they didn't have much to do every day, so they spent their time figuring out how to use the ingredients they had to cook delicious meals.
Wenxi was a little busier, because she had to teach Zhao Yuanyuan and Zhao Huihui in the evening. After they went back, she would go to the river bend to haul in the nets and catch fish. Then, on Thursday morning, she would go to the black market to trade and queue up to buy meat. She didn't just buy meat; she would buy offal, bones, trotters, whatever she could get her hands on.
If they stock up on more, they can eat meat every day.
Days passed by in this way, and before they knew it, it was almost the Lantern Festival. However, on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, a military vehicle suddenly drove up to the door next to Wenxi's house. Wenxi realized that Jin Changfeng might have been discharged from the hospital and returned to recuperate, so she quickly took out her keys and went over there.
At that moment, the door of the military vehicle opened, and Jin Changfeng got out of the vehicle. Wen Xi was about to step forward when she saw the passenger door open and a female comrade in a white coat get out.
"Comrade Jin, Aunt Da Hua entrusted your house keys to me for safekeeping." Wen Xi stepped forward and handed a bunch of keys to Jin Changfeng.
Upon seeing Wen Xi, Jin Changfeng's eyes sparkled with a smile, and the corners of his lips turned up slightly. This inconsistency in Jin Changfeng's behavior set off alarm bells in the hearts of the female medical staff, and they looked at Wen Xi with a more probing gaze. Jin Changfeng had never been so gentle with female colleagues before, not even with the nurse who took care of him every day.
“You are…” the nurse began.
"I am Comrade Jin's neighbor." Wen Xi had read the original text and learned some things from the perspective of the female protagonist, Lin Yiwan. That is, outstanding men always have a few admirers around them. Some of these admirers even domineeringly believe that the man belongs to them and no one else can covet him, thus engaging in some underhanded tactics.
Wenxi just wanted to live peacefully for the next few years and didn't want to be targeted by anyone.
"The homeowner gave me the keys when they moved out and asked me to pass them on to Comrade Jin," Wen Xi explained.
Jin Changfeng probably realized that this nurse had a powerful background and was not someone he could afford to offend, so he didn't exchange any pleasantries with Wen Xi.
He was just a young man from the countryside, and it wasn't easy for him to climb to this position through his own efforts. But if others wanted to bring him down, it would be an easy thing for them to do.
This also made him realize that he couldn't actually protect Wenxi, and there was no possibility between him and Wenxi, because he couldn't even show that he liked Wenxi. If others found out and took action against Wenxi, he would regret it for the rest of his life.
Wenxi saved him, and he couldn't let Wenxi get hurt. From now on, he would work hard to climb higher and reach a higher position so that he could protect Wenxi.
I just don't know if I'll still have the chance to protect her by then.
"Thank you." Jin Changfeng reached out and took the keys. "Comrade Wen, I mentioned before that I wanted to hold a family reunion banquet during the Spring Festival when things weren't too busy, so we could become sworn siblings. I didn't expect this incident to happen, which delayed the matter. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, so let's take this opportunity to hold the banquet. What do you say?"
