Chapter 167 Why divorce just like that?
Zhou Qingmin stopped and turned around: "I've made it very clear. Is there anything else?"
Zhang Lanxiang stepped forward and tried to pull his arm, but Zhou Qingmin dodged her.
"Please be mindful of the impact and don't pull or tug."
Zhang Lanxiang didn't bother to explain now. She looked at Zhou Qingmin and asked, "You and Ruonan were in a free relationship and your relationship has always been good. Why did you divorce just like that?"
Zhou Qingmin said with disdain: "Shang Ruonan has been sentenced and has been in prison for a year and a half. He has also lost his job. Our Zhou family can't afford such a person."
"What? You said Ruonan was sentenced to one and a half years?" Zhang Lanxiang didn't know the news yet. Now that she heard it from Zhou Qingmin, she couldn't accept it at all.
"This is impossible... You must be mistaken, Qingmin, let's go to the police station now and ask them..."
Zhou Qingmin didn't like Zhang Lanxiang in the first place, and now that he was divorced from Shang Ruonan, he had even less patience for her.
"If you want to ask, go ahead and ask yourself. I don't have time to bother with you."
After saying that, he strode away, leaving behind a sentence: "Since I'm here, I'd like to tell you that Shang Ruolian has been detained for three months. If you have time, go and give them some clothes to change into!"
Zhang Lanxiang stood there blankly, not knowing whether she heard what Zhou Qingmin said.
She subconsciously thought that both daughters were harmed by the little bitch Shang Ruoting, and was about to run back to find trouble with her, but Shang Ruoting was nowhere to be found.
Zhang Lanxiang couldn't accept the situation of having two daughters, so she ran home to discuss countermeasures with Shang Lichun immediately.
Shang Ruoting was also dissatisfied. She felt that the punishment for the two was not enough to teach them a lesson. She sent the cart back to the chicken coop and went straight to find Tan Chen.
After hearing this, Tan Chen was more open-minded than her.
"I know you think their punishment is too light, but no matter what we do, we must abide by the rules and regulations."
Shang Ruoting also knew this, but she felt unbalanced and just talked about it with Tan Chen.
Seeing her unhappy look, Tan Chen advised: "This time, let's teach them a little lesson. If they still refuse to repent after they come back, we'll continue to deal with them."
Shang Ruoting nodded: "This is the only way."
The villagers didn't know how they found out, but the two sisters of the Shang family were both sent to prison, and this was basically the topic of conversation among them recently.
Without Zou Meihua causing trouble, and without having to worry about Shang Ruolian doing anything bad, Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen have had a rare smooth life recently.
Time passed, and it was mid-July in a blink of an eye. Unless they had other things to do, Shang Ruoting and Tan Chen would usually bring their textbooks to the cowshed. While they were studying with several teachers, they would also often bring some food to these people.
Over time, Shang Ruoting, Tan Chen, Zhao Dongsheng and others also established a deep friendship.
In July, the sun was like a furnace, scorching the earth fiercely. The clouds seemed to be melted by the sun and disappeared without a trace...
The new house has been built and the furniture has been neatly arranged. Now we just have to wait for it to dry before we can move in.
Whether in her past life or this life, Shang Ruoting was most afraid of the scorching hot weather. Now, it was the most difficult day for her.
Sihe Village still doesn’t have electricity, and even though we can see ceiling fans sold in the city, they don’t work.
She tried to get up before dawn every day and finish the work in the tofu shop and the chicken coop while it was not too hot. Now that Tan Chen did not need to oversee the construction of the house, he would go to the team to take on some work to earn work points when he was free.
When Tan Chen came back in the evening, he brought back a big watermelon.
"Ruoting, this is the watermelon we grew in the backyard. It looks quite big, so I'll pick one to try."
Shang Ruoting has rarely gone out recently because of the hot weather. The vegetable garden over there has always been taken care of by Tan Chen, so she has not paid much attention to the growth of these crops.
Looking at the big watermelon in Tan Chen's arms, it weighed at least twenty kilograms.
Normally, their watermelons were planted late and would take some time to mature. Fortunately, she had watered them with some spiritual spring water, so they could now see such big watermelons.
Although Mrs. Shang didn't say it, who wouldn't feel hot in such weather? When he saw the watermelon that Tan Chen brought back, he immediately took it to the kitchen to cut it.
The watermelon was indeed ripe, and it tasted much better than ordinary watermelons that were not watered by the spiritual spring water.
The only drawback was that it was not cool enough, so Tan Chen put the remaining half into the well, hoping to lower the temperature.
Shang Ruoting watched him use the old method to chill the watermelon, and suddenly came up with an idea, which was to make ice with saltpeter.
This method shouldn't be a big secret here, but not many people know about it.
The level of education people have is one factor, and there was no Internet, so you could just look up the method and find out.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruoting pulled Tan Chen aside and asked, "Have you heard of the method of making ice with saltpeter?"
Tan Chen is no longer surprised that Shang Ruoting knows more than the average country girl. During the past few months of getting along with her, she often behaves in a way that is difficult to understand.
"When I was in the army, I heard from an old comrade that saltpeter could be used to make ice, but he didn't know the specific method."
