Chapter 321 Is he old, or does he not bathe?
Shen Zhixia didn't find it strange; husbands and wives are like birds in the same forest, but when disaster strikes, they fly away separately.
If Xiaoya's husband stays by her side after this incident, then he is truly devoted to her. However, the probability of this happening is extremely small; everyone is inherently selfish.
Aunt Qian clicked her tongue and said, "I heard that Xiaoya asked many people for money, but no one was willing to lend her any. She is also a bad person, so everyone stays away from her. Her husband also refused to help her and betrayed her at a critical moment, which hurt her deeply. As a result, Xiaoya refused to get a divorce and wanted to drag her husband down with her."
Shen Zhixia asked, "Didn't they leave?"
Aunt Qian gossiped, "They're divorced, but Xiaoya isn't someone to be trifled with. She said she gave the 3,000 yuan she embezzled to her husband and demanded that he return the money. She even claimed they were accomplices. Anyway, even though she's in trouble, she won't let her husband have an easy time. You can't believe how things turned out like this after all these years of marriage. It's truly a tragic sight."
Xiaoya had no way to repay the money anyway, and her imprisonment was a foregone conclusion. But she didn't want to see her husband living happily with someone else after the divorce. So she simply framed the other party for knowing about it and claimed that the money was all in her husband's hands. This caused her husband a lot of trouble, and he couldn't explain it at all.
So the police conducted a series of investigations on her husband. Fortunately, the police were not to be trifled with. After the investigation, they stated that the whole thing was done by Xiaoya alone and had nothing to do with her husband. Xiaoya's husband was also exonerated.
After this incident, Xiaoya's husband believed that Xiaoya was a heartless woman and was determined to divorce her. So after the divorce was successful, he quickly left Xiaoya, who then faced imprisonment.
Aunt Qian used to hate Xiaoya, but now that she knows what Xiaoya went through, she sighs: "She was a terrible person. I heard that after the accident, not a single relative or friend came to see her. It's so cold-hearted."
Shen Zhixia smiled in response, giving Aunt Qian a little feedback so she would know she was listening attentively to the gossip.
A few days later, Chen Gang left the factory. The cannery's business was booming, and they started selling to Inner Mongolia. So the factory manager sent him to Inner Mongolia to investigate. This trip would take at least a month.
Aunt Qian was quite happy about this: "The factory is much quieter now that he's gone. You don't know, he hasn't given up harassing Lin Xiao, but now that Lin Xiao is a school teacher, he doesn't dare to do anything reckless."
Although Lin Xiao was sent down to this place with a lowly status and no choice in her own life, she now lives in the school dormitory and has a good relationship with the teachers at the commune primary school. She is no longer someone that Chen Gang can bully at will.
Shen Zhixia nodded: "It's better that he left."
She would occasionally run into Chen Gang at the factory. Every time, Chen Gang would look at her with a sticky, unfriendly gaze, which Shen Zhixia disliked.
She had no connection with Chen Gang, but she didn't want to run into him.
Chen Gang was away for more than a month. When he returned, he announced to everyone: "I'm getting married. Everyone is welcome to come and celebrate!"
Aunt Qian disliked Chen Gang, but if Chen Gang were a leader in the factory, many people would still try to curry favor with him.
So someone asked, "Manager Chen, are you going to be with that girl who was sent to the countryside?"
The fact that Chen Gang had harassed Lin Xiao before hadn't been completely publicized, but it wasn't exactly a secret either. He would go to see Lin Xiao every few days and even tried to force her to be with him.
The Lin family was originally sent here, and no one looked down on them, so no one helped them. However, everyone saw what Chen Gang did.
I originally thought that Chen Gang had finally won over Lin Xiao. After all, even if Lin Xiao was arrogant, that was in the past. The current Lin Xiao is not the same as before. For her to marry Chen Gang is already a step up for her.
Chen Gang denied it: "What Lin Xiao? She's a lowly intellectual who was sent down to the countryside. How could she be worthy of me? People like that are fine to play around with, but how could we get married?"
Aunt Qian rolled her eyes when she heard this.
Lin Xiao didn't hide the fact that Chen Gang went to see Lin Xiao every few days. You know, Lin Xiao always rejected him cleanly and decisively. She didn't even think much of him. Now, Chen Gang was actually feeling smug.
The others, however, were quick to understand and asked, "Manager Chen, who are you marrying? Did you go on a blind date?"
"Your girlfriend must be very beautiful to have caught Manager Chen's eye."
"You were in Inner Mongolia last month, did you meet someone there? Did you bring us a sister-in-law from out of town?"
Aunt Qian loves gossip. She knows all the gossip about the factory. Although she doesn't like Chen Gang, she is still very interested in the gossip about him. However, she didn't know that Chen Gang had a girlfriend. In fact, she had never heard of it. She also suspected that Chen Gang met his girlfriend in Inner Mongolia. It was only after Chen Gang went to Inner Mongolia that she had no news of such gossip from so far away.
A smile appeared on Chen Gang's face: "That's right, I found my partner in Inner Mongolia."
Someone asked curiously, "Is she a local from Inner Mongolia?"
Chen Gang shook his head and said, "No, she's from Shanghai."
"Wow, that's a girl from a big city, Manager Chen. You've got some good stuff. You've found a rich girl."
Aunt Qian asked in a low voice, "Little Shen, I remember you're also from Shanghai, right?"
Shen Zhixia hummed in agreement.
For them, Shanghai was a big city, full of young ladies. Shen Zhixia came from a good family. If it weren't for the political movements that suppressed capital everywhere, she would have been a high-class person. But that was all in the past. The Shen family had long since declined, and Shen's father was still in prison.
Chen Gang said, "She's very beautiful, otherwise how could I have fallen for her? Moreover, she's very educated. She was a sent-down youth to Inner Mongolia, and she volunteered to go to the countryside. She has a very high level of ideological awareness."
Aunt Qian found Chen Gang's words unbelievable. Chen Gang was a person of extremely poor character, yet he had found such an outstanding girl. Was that girl blind? How could she possibly be interested in Chen Gang?
Chen Gang is not young. He is very short. Aunt Qian is 1.73 meters tall. Chen Gang is a head shorter than her. Moreover, he is fat, ugly, and bald. What did that girl see in him?
Is it because he's old, or because he doesn't shower?
Chen Gang's face was full of pride. This guy was strange. He wasn't a good person and didn't have any good qualities, but his girlfriend was so beautiful, and he liked this kind of beautiful person. Of course, most importantly, the girl was indeed beautiful, and he was just lusting after her looks.
He showed off, and seeing everyone's envious expressions, he felt quite satisfied.
He continued, "By the way, it's quite a coincidence that she's from Shanghai and also surnamed Shen. Comrade Shen, aren't there many people with the surname Shen in Shanghai?"
