Chapter 74: Divorce ruins my life
"No need to check. Even if you do, it's not like you're infertile," Qi Shixin said. "You'd have to use connections to get someone to check for you. It's completely unnecessary."
Qi Shixin was a little impatient. He looked at his wife and asked, "Don't you want to have this child?"
"No, no." How could He Jingxian say that she didn't want to have this child? She was thinking, if this child is a girl, is it worth having it? He Jingxian had no right to choose and could only listen to the Qi family.
"As long as you give birth to the child, it will be our child. I won't mind, and neither will my parents." Qi Shixin said.
"Hmm..." He Jingxian said, she looked down at her belly. He Jingxian thought of Jiang Moli again. Jiang Moli was already married, so when would Jiang Moli get pregnant and give birth to a child?
The day after Niu's mother arrived at Niu Cuihua's house, she helped make tofu. The last time Niu's mother came was before the Lantern Festival, and at that time, Niu Cuihua made less tofu. Now, she makes more.
Zhao Guodong still took the two children to school. In the evening, when they finished, Niu Cuihua would pick them up and have dinner. After dinner, Niu Cuihua would take Zhao Jiaojiao to guzheng lessons. Sometimes, Zhao Guodong would come home early, so that was when he took her to guzheng lessons. He was usually the one to pick her up in the evening.
When Jiang's mother went to Niu Cuihua's place, she happened to see Niu's mother and Niu Cuihua busy in the yard together.
"Mother-in-law." Jiang's mother walked over. "You're here. When did you come?"
"I came here yesterday." said Niu's mother.
"You're just in time. With you here, you can help Cuihua and the others." Jiang's mother said, "We don't live here, and we don't come here every day, so we can't help that much."
"You've helped them a lot," said Niu's mother. "If it weren't for you, they wouldn't be able to live in a house like this."
Jiang's mother was naturally pleased to hear Niu's mother's words, but she was afraid that Niu's mother would climb up the ladder and still think that they were not good enough to Niu Cuihua and her husband. Jiang's mother had already emptied her savings and now relied mainly on her pension.
Of course, Jiang's mother lived with Jiang Moli and her husband, so she didn't need to go shopping for groceries on weekdays. The servants bought all the cakes, fruits, and vegetables. Jiang's mother and father just told the servants what they wanted to eat, and they would buy it. Jiang's father and mother didn't need to pay the servants, so these things didn't need to be taken care of by the old couple.
When Jiang's mother came to visit Niu Cuihua and her husband, she bought some fruit and other things outside instead of bringing them from Jiang Moli's house. Jiang's mother believed that since she and her husband lived with Jiang Moli, they should still be more sensible. If it was for an elder like Old Lady Jiang, then it didn't matter and they could just take it from Jiang Moli's house. But if it was for Niu Cuihua and her husband, then they couldn't take it directly from Jiang Moli's house.
Even if Jiang Moli and her husband didn't mind, Jiang's mother herself felt it was not a good idea.
"When you are free, come over to our place for a meal." Jiang's mother said.
"How can this be so embarrassing?" said Niu's mother.
"Since you're here, I have to treat you to a meal." Jiang's mother said with a smile, "Let's go to my daughter's place. My husband and I both live there."
"It depends on when you have time." Mother Niu said, "We can all do it."
"Yes, we can do it anytime, it depends on my younger sister and brother-in-law's schedule." Niu Cuihua agreed.
"Then tomorrow evening," Jiang's mother said, "you can go over for dinner tomorrow evening. Jasmine doesn't have a performance tomorrow, and her husband will be home early."
"Okay." Niu Cuihua said, "Mom, please come inside and sit down first. We still have to be busy here for a while."
"You guys are busy." Jiang's mother stood by for a while with her bag. She looked at how Niu Cuihua and Niu's mother made tofu.
It was indeed much more convenient for Niu Cuihua to make tofu with her mother. Niu's mother was also very strong. Seeing her mother's great strength, Jiang's mother thought that it was Niu's mother who really needed to help Niu Cuihua. Jiang's mother couldn't help Niu Cuihua much because the things were too heavy.
Jiang's mother sat at Niu Cuihua's house for a while. Niu Cuihua even cut two pieces of tofu for Jiang's mother to take home. After Jiang's mother took the tofu home, she handed it to the kitchen staff to cook. Jiang's mother didn't compete with the chef for work. After eating the food cooked by the chef, she had to admit that her own cooking was indeed just some simple home cooking, and the taste was not as good as her own.
Regarding the wedding banquet of Bo Meiqi and Shi Nan, the Bo family naturally hoped to hold it in a better hotel, and the dishes couldn't be too bad. The price and dishes of each table were very particular.
When Shi's mother heard what the Bai family said, her heart trembled. It was just to marry a daughter-in-law who had not attended college, so why would it be necessary to spend so much money? Shi's mother went to a restaurant with the Bai family. After the Bai family left, Shi's mother asked the restaurant manager for a discount, which embarrassed the manager.
"Don't put too much on each plate, just enough to eat." Shi's mother said, "One or two chopsticks per person is enough."
"But this...hasn't it been decided?" said the manager.
"It hasn't been decided yet," said Shi's mother. "When the time comes, will we pay you, or will they? Just do as we say. You don't need to set up so many tables, just two or three will be enough."
Shi's mother said to the manager, "Do you think I've never been to the market to buy vegetables? Those vegetables don't cost that much. You can make less money. That's enough."
“The vegetables at the market are different from those in our store,” said the manager.
"Then go to the market and buy some vegetables," said Shi's mother. "Buy cheaper ones and larger quantities."
"..." The manager didn't expect Shi's mother to say this, "Our restaurant has regulations. All raw materials must be..."
"Are we eating, or are you eating?" Shi Mu was unhappy. "You just do as we say."
"Do you want to bring your own ingredients?" the manager asked. "If you do, our chef will still need to cook them, and that costs money."
The manager reminded Shi's mother that if they brought their own ingredients, it would be better to hold the wedding banquet at Shi's mother's home and hire a few wedding chefs to cook. There was no need to hold it in a hotel.
"Just accept it. You can't avoid it." Shi's mother didn't want her son and daughter-in-law to hold their wedding banquet in such a good hotel. But after thinking about it, she felt that they had to hold the wedding banquet in such a good hotel. This would let others know how capable Shi Nan was and let relatives and friends know that Shi Nan had a good job.
Bai Meiqi's parents had no idea that Shi's mother had said these words to the manager. They thought everything had been arranged and were preparing to send out invitations to relatives and friends to come for the banquet.
As Shi's mother was leaving, the manager reminded her again, "You bring your own food. You are responsible for food safety issues. Our restaurant is not responsible."
"You guys talk too much." Shi's mother found these people annoying. "I've made you money, and yet you still have so much to say."
Shi's father was right next to Shi's mother. He didn't think his wife was wrong. He thought the wedding banquet could be more frugal. The Bai family had asked for quite a bit of betrothal gifts for their son's wedding. Shi's mother had reduced the amount, but it was still quite a bit. After gritting her teeth and taking out the betrothal money, she decided to save as much as possible elsewhere.
When Jiang Moli and her husband got married, the Jiang family did not invite Shi's mother, but Shi's mother had the nerve to prepare invitations for Jiang Moli and her husband. Shi's mother not only asked someone to send invitations to Jiang Moli, but also to Fan Xiaoxue and others.
Shi Nan knew about this matter, and he thought it was a good thing. They were all old friends, so how could he invite others but not Jiang Moli?
"They are your friends after all. Didn't you always say you had a great time together?" Shi's mother sat in the living room at home writing invitations. The name list had been finalized long ago, before going to the hotel, and now she was writing the invitations. "You are all getting married now, and you may not have time to get together in the future. Take advantage of your wedding banquet to give them a good meal."
"Please come in." Shi Nan said.
"You and Meiqi are getting married, and we've booked a hotel for your wedding banquet so yours won't be too shabby," said Shi's mother. "I originally wanted to have a grander wedding banquet, even grander than Jiang Moli's, but... after giving your Yue family such a large dowry, we're short on money, so I can only let you down a bit."
It's not that Shi's mother didn't want to have a wedding banquet similar to Jiang Moli's, but the family didn't have the money. Sheng Jiahao and the Shi family were not on the same social level, and Sheng Jiahao was much richer than the Shi family.
"It's not me who is wronged, it's Meiqi who is wronged." Shi Nan said.
"She has nothing to feel wronged about. It's her honor to marry a college graduate like you." Every time Shi's mother thought of Bo Meiqi's diploma, she felt that Bo Meiqi was too inferior. "She's not very good-looking either, much worse than Jiang Moli. I can't even hold my face when I go out and talk to people. People say that you've been looking for such a partner, and everyone is laughing at our family."
"Mom." Shi Nan frowned, "Don't say those things to them."
"I didn't tell them, but they insisted on telling me." Shi's mother said, "What can I do?"
Mainly because Shi's mother always said those things in front of others, so now others have to say a few more words in front of Shi's mother, and they have to ridicule her a few times. If they don't ridicule her now, they may not ridicule her in the future. Those people know what it means to be the boss's niece. It means that Shi Nan will have an easier time in the company and will easily get a promotion.
"Those people are just jealous of our family and you," Shi's mother said. "They see that you haven't found a good partner, so they want to step on you as much as possible. Living next door to those people is really unlucky."
Jiang's mother told the chef she was hosting dinner that evening, and the chef asked what dishes Jiang's mother wanted. Jiang's mother told the chef to oversee the preparations, suggesting that he prepare more meat. The chef, upon hearing that, knew what to do. Since they were hosting ordinary people, it would be better to have more meat dishes, and larger portions would be better. Jiang's mother didn't say much, but the chef understood. The chef didn't consider himself merely a small-portion cook; working in his employer's home, the employer's wishes were paramount.
Early in the morning, Jiang's mother heard the doorbell. She went out and saw that it was the person from the same street.
"Shi Nan is getting married, and his family asked me to help send out the invitations." said the man.
"..." Jiang's mother twitched her lips slightly and took the invitation.
"I'm going to the next house." The man didn't expect Jiang's mother to let him in to sit down. When handing out invitations, he just put them down quickly. If the person wasn't home and the door was open, he would just leave the invitation on the table. When delivering an invitation, he still had to knock on the door, just in case the person was home.
Jiang's mother looked at the invitation. The names of the invitees listed on it were Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao. Most wedding invitations only have one guest's name, but the Shi family included two. Jiang's mother thought about it and knew what Shi's mother was thinking. Jiang's mother had no intention of hiding the invitation, nor did she intend to let Jiang Moli go.
In the afternoon, Niu Cuihua and the others packed up their things and brought their children to Jiang Moli's house. It was Niu's first time at Jiang Moli's house and she was shocked. "Such a big and nice house, is this really where people live?" she asked. "And that sofa, how could it be so soft?"
"Eat some fruit and drink some beverage first." Jiang's mother said.
The servants brought fruits and drinks. Mother Niu looked at those things and just thought that the lives these people lived were really different.
"Jasmine and the others won't be back for a while." Jiang's mother looked at the clock. "They should be back soon."
"We thought of coming over early to help with cooking, but we didn't expect that we wouldn't have to do it," said Niu Cuihua.
After Jiang Moli and Sheng Jiahao got married, Niu Cuihua and her husband rarely came here. They would not come if they could avoid it. Jiang Moli and her husband moved here almost a month ago, and this was the first time Niu Cuihua and her family came here after the wedding banquet.
"Just sit down." Jiang's mother said with a smile, "Not only do you not have to do it, I don't have to do it either. Jiahao hired a chef, and Jasmine can't cook. The food I cook doesn't taste that good, so it's better to let the chef do it. Jasmine said that professional things should be left to professionals, so we can enjoy it more."
Jiang Moli told her mother several times that she was worried that she would have to do more. It wasn't that Jiang Moli disliked the taste of her mother's cooking. Occasionally eating her mother's cooking could make her feel good. Jiang Moli just didn't want her mother to be tired.
They have already moved in, so of course they have to enjoy themselves and take it easy.
Jiang's mother had originally thought of inviting Mrs. Wen from next door over for dinner, but then decided to wait for another day. Mrs. Niu and the others weren't familiar with Mrs. Wen, and Jiang's mother was worried they wouldn't be used to sitting together, so she decided to wait for another day.
When Jiang Moli and her husband came back, Niu's mother was chatting happily with Jiang's mother.
Mother Niu looked at Jiang Moli, and she only felt that Jiang Moli was even more beautiful.
Everyone is here, let’s eat.
At the dinner table, Niu's mother didn't dare to say a word. Jiang's mother said a few words to Niu's mother, telling her not to be so nervous.
"We planted some vegetables in the backyard, but they haven't grown very big yet," Jiang's mother said. "We'll have to wait a while before we can eat them."
"Are you growing vegetables?" Mother Niu was surprised.
"Yes, we planted it in the backyard." Jiang's mother said.
"There is a vegetable garden here?" Mother Niu thought it was not right, as the front yard was only planted with flowers and plants.
"It's a vacant lot, used as a vegetable garden." Jiang's mother said.
After dinner, Jiang's mother took Niu's mother to the backyard to look at the vegetable patch. Jiang Moli gave the dolls she had bought to Zhao Jiaojiao and her brother. When Zhao Guodong was talking to Sheng Jiahao, he sometimes thought that he was just an ordinary worker and what could he say to Sheng Jiahao. When Sheng Jiahao was talking to Zhao Guodong, he didn't deliberately talk about complicated things, but only about simple things.
Sheng Jiahao didn't need to make things difficult for Zhao Guodong, he still had to make his brother-in-law happy.
"Mom, it's time for us to go back." Niu Cuihua looked at Niu's mother and Jiang's mother who had been looking at the vegetable garden for a long time.
You have to take a bus to go back here, and it’s too far to walk back.
"I'll have the driver take you back later." Jiang Moli said, "Don't worry about not having a car to take you back."
"Is this too much trouble for you?" Niu Cuihua asked embarrassedly.
"No trouble." Jiang Moli said, "Next time, if you want to come over, give me a call and ask the driver to pick you up."
"No, no, we can take the bus here by ourselves." Niu Cuihua waved her hand quickly, not really asking the driver to pick them up.
Because there was a car to pick them up, Niu Cuihua and her family played for a while longer before going back.
After Niu Cuihua and her family returned home, Jiang's mother handed the invitation from the Shi family to Jiang Moli.
Jiang Moli didn't open the invitation at first, "Which relative is getting married?"
"They're not relatives," Jiang's mother said. "Shi Nan is having a wedding banquet and wants to invite you two to attend."
"Invite us to the wedding banquet?" Jiang Moli thought it was a good thing she wasn't drinking tea. If she had, she would have choked on the tea. "We didn't invite them to our wedding, and they invited us?"
"Who knows?" Jiang's mother said, "Shi Nan marrying his boss's niece is a great honor. Of course, we have to invite more people to let everyone know how outstanding Shi Nan is."
“…” Jiang Moli handed the invitation to Sheng Jiahao.
Sheng Jiahao looked at the invitation and was speechless.
"Don't attend their wedding banquet, and don't give red envelopes." Jiang's mother said.
"I guess I'll have to attend." Jiang Moli said, "He married the niece of the head of the Development Zone Investment Promotion Office, and Shi Nan also works there. Jiahao has a factory in the Development Zone, so he might need to ask him for help in the future."
"Is that so?" Jiang's mother hadn't thought of this. "If that's the case, then I really have to go, to avoid offending anyone."
"It doesn't matter if you don't go." Sheng Jiahao said, "Just say you don't have time."
"Go ahead." Jiang's mother said, "I was just saying that."
"You can go," said Jiang's father. "As long as the red envelopes are almost ready, it's fine. Jasmine, ask your friends."
"Well, I'll ask when the time comes." Jiang Moli nodded. "Shi Nan got it for free."
After returning to the bedroom, Sheng Jiahao said to Jiang Moli, "You don't have to go."
"It's okay, it's just a wedding banquet." Jiang Moli said, "It depends on whether I have a performance at that time. If I do, you can go by yourself. If not, we can go together. If they dare to invite us, we will go."
"Okay, it all depends on you." Sheng Jiahao said.
When Zhou Yiran learned that Shi Nan had sent an invitation to Jiang Moli, she couldn't help but sigh, "This guy is really shameless."
Jiang Moli and Zhou Yiran were in the cafeteria of Provincial Xiaobaihua School together. Zhou Yiran always said that the food in Provincial Xiaobaihua School cafeteria was better than that in South City Theater. Jiang Moli said that Zhou Yiran could come to the cafeteria to eat when she came. After Zhou Yiran ate there a few more times, maybe she wouldn't think it was good anymore.
Zhou Yiran has eaten in the cafeteria of Provincial Xiaobaihua many times, and she still thinks the food here tastes better.
"Has the chef at your company changed?" Jiang Moli asked. "When I was there before, the food tasted pretty good."
"No, you feel okay because you're not picky about food." Zhou Yiran said, "By the way, are you really planning to attend Shi Nan's wedding banquet?"
"For the sake of the bride's uncle." Jiang Moli said, "Jiahao runs a factory in the development zone, so it's inevitable that we'll run into each other. It's better to resolve a feud than to create one."
"You think so, but others may not." Zhou Yiran said, "Although I haven't met Shi Nan many times and don't know him very well, I can tell from his family that they are all petty people. Didn't Shi Nan confess his love to you? You didn't agree to it, so he might still be holding a grudge against you and your man. You still have to be careful, it's hard to guard against villains."
"Yeah." Jiang Moli nodded. "What about you? When are you going to get the marriage certificate and hold the wedding banquet?"
"We agreed to hold the wedding banquet in the first month of the lunar year," Zhou Yiran said. "There's still time. There's no need to rush to get the marriage certificate."
"It's okay to get the certificate before the wedding banquet." Jiang Moli said, "Even if we get it after the wedding banquet, it doesn't matter."
"That's right, why are you so anxious?" Zhou Yiran said, "I don't want to rely on a man to live."
When Fan Xiaoxue and the others learned that Shi Nan had sent invitations to Jiang Moli and her husband, they were all speechless. Shi Nan really didn't feel embarrassed at all. Fan Xiaoxue and the others didn't ask Shi Nan why he invited Jiang Moli and her husband. Maybe he just thought that the past was over and it was a good opportunity to ease the relationship between everyone during the wedding banquet.
Soon it was the day of Shi Nan's wedding. Jiang Moli was going to perform in another city, and Sheng Jiahao went with her. Jiang's father and mother thought that their names were not on the invitation, so they didn't go.
Fortunately, Jiang's father and others did not go, as something big happened at this wedding banquet.
Logically, the colder the weather, the less likely the ingredients would spoil. The problem was that Shi's mother, in her pursuit of cheapness, hadn't sourced the best ingredients, figuring that the restaurant's chefs would naturally make the dishes taste good, and that at most they'd just add a little more oil and salt to enhance the flavor, making it impossible to tell that the ingredients were bad.
Some people had good stomachs and didn't have any major problems. The key was that some people had poor stomachs and suffered from vomiting and diarrhea after eating, and they had food poisoning. Even Shi Nan's unit leader was like this, and Bo Meiqi's uncle was also hospitalized.
After this incident, Shi Nan and Bai Meiqi had no way to deal with other things first, and they were still thinking about what to do with the hospitalized people.
The Bai family went to the restaurant, and the staff said that the ingredients were sent by the Shi family. The hotel staff also warned that the ingredients were not fresh, but the Shi family said that they were still good, so the chef cooked them anyway. Other families held wedding banquets at the hotel and ate ingredients prepared by the hotel. There was nothing wrong with them. If there was a problem, it could only be the ingredients sent by the Shi family.
This made the Bai family stunned? They never thought that the Shi family would do such a thing!
If the Bai family had not been busy for the past few days and had not eaten much vegetables, they would probably have been admitted to the hospital.
"Shi Nan, what is going on?"
"How could your family do such a thing? Your uncle is in the hospital, as are other leaders in your unit."
"Do you know how big a mistake you made?"
…
Bai Mu was very angry. Her brother had invited other leaders from the company to come in order to help Shi Nan get better development. Those leaders came because of Bai Mu's brother's face. Otherwise, it would be impossible for others to come to Shi Nan's wedding banquet, as Shi Nan was just a small employee who had just joined the company.
Now that things have come to this, what will others think?
If it's just diarrhea, staying in the hospital for a day or two is fine, but if someone dies, that would be bad.
Fortunately, not all people had problems, only a small number of people had problems. For the others who did not have problems, Bai Mu had to comfort them and ask them to take some medicine to avoid any problems.
The Bai family and the Shi family had an argument in the restaurant. The Bai family felt that they were blind as why they thought that Shi's mother only had a minor problem.
"You really don't know what you're talking about. You're so shameless." said Bai's mother.
"Mother-in-law, this can't be entirely our fault. If you hadn't insisted on such a large banquet, we wouldn't have thought of bringing our own ingredients." Shi's mother said, "We spent so much money, and we had to borrow money. Won't Shi Nan and his wife still have to pay it back in the future? You don't feel sorry for them, but I do."
"Feeling badly? So many people are vomiting and having diarrhea, and you feel bad?" Mother Bo just thought it was ridiculous. "You should think carefully about what to do about this matter, Shi Nan, think about it, think carefully."
"mom……"
"Don't call me mom." said Bai's mother.
"Mother-in-law, look at what you're saying. If my son doesn't call you mom, what should he call you?" Shi's mother said, "My son and your daughter are already married. No matter who is right in this matter, you can't escape responsibility. It's not just us who have to think about what to do, you should think about it too."
"You..." Bai's mother just felt that Shi's mother was a scoundrel, such a scoundrel.
"Divorce!" Bo Meiqi couldn't stand it anymore. Her eyes were red. "Divorce, I want to divorce Shi Nan!"
"What?" Shi's mother was shocked. "What did you say?"
"Yes, divorce, just divorce." Bai's mother had a cold face. With such a big thing happening, Bai's mother could no longer accept Shi's mother as her mother-in-law, nor could she accept Shi Nan as her son-in-law.
Not to mention that this only happened once, I'm afraid that even more terrible things will happen in the future. It would be better to let Bai Meiqi and Shi Nan divorce early.
Bai's mother thought that she should give an explanation to those people, as well as her brother's leader, and she couldn't let her brother be implicated.
"You've already registered your marriage, why are you getting a divorce?" Shi's mother asked, "Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
"Don't be afraid!" said Bai Meiqi.
"There's also the betrothal money. If we really get divorced, you have to give it to us," Shi's mother said. "And the house. That house was allocated by my son's company, so it can only belong to my son, not you."
Shi Nan had just returned from somewhere else when he heard Shi's mother and Bai's mother talking about divorce.
"Meiqi..."
"Shi Nan, let's get divorced!" When Bai Meiqi saw Shi Nan coming late, Shi Nan said he would go to the hospital for a check-up, so Bai Meiqi let Shi Nan go.
When Bo Meiqi thought about the Shi family's behavior, she felt disgusted. She also thought about Shi Nan's past behavior. She had always been resistant to Shi Nan, but at the time, she felt that her parents were right. There weren't so many perfect marriages, so it was okay to just get by. Who knew the Shi family would be like this? Bo Meiqi thought that if she had known the Shi family would be like this, she would definitely not get a marriage certificate with Shi Nan.
"Meiqi, we just held our wedding banquet." Shi Nan frowned.
"Is that a wedding banquet?" Bo Meiqi was about to cry. "People thought we were having a funeral banquet, to send someone off after death."
Bo Meiqi had just heard the restaurant waiter say these things, and she felt that their description was absolutely correct. Bo Meiqi thought that so many people had been in trouble, while the Shi family still acted as if nothing had happened. Bo Meiqi thought that the Shi family must have known that the dishes were not good, so Shi's father and mother did not eat much. The same was true for the rest of the family. They ate less and nothing happened.
"Shi Nan, I, Bai Meiqi, am not unwanted. I don't have to let your family bully me." Bai Meiqi said, "Your mother said I married into a wealthy family and asked our family to prepare such a large dowry. We all agreed. But this is how you treat me. You have made me a laughing stock. How can I face those people in the future? Divorce, divorce is a must!"
Shi Nan wanted to comfort Bai Meiqi, but Bai's father stopped him.
"Let's go and complete the divorce procedures tomorrow," said Mr. Bai.
Bai's father thought Shi Nan had no future and that this was the way Shi Nan would live. As long as Shi Nan's father and mother were still around, no amount of help from others would be of any use to Shi Nan. Bai's father had originally been optimistic about Shi Nan's future prospects, but now that something so serious had happened, he felt it was time to cut his losses. His daughter hadn't given birth to Shi Nan yet, and she could still get married.
"Maybe Meiqi is already pregnant with my child." Shi Nan didn't want to get divorced like this. He and Bo Meiqi had already slept together. Shi Nan could only hope that Bo Meiqi would not care about this matter for the sake of the child.
"Yes, maybe Meiqi is already pregnant." Shi's mother said, "Your Meiqi is divorced, so she is second-hand goods. No one wants a remarried woman. You..."
"Then abort it." said Mr. Bai.
The Shi family was very surprised and they all looked at Mr. Bai. Shi Nan felt that Mr. Bai's words were too cold and heartless. That was a living being, how could he just abort it?
"Shi Nan, you and our Meiqi are not meant to be together," said Father Bai. "With your parents like this, we can't leave Meiqi to you. Do you want to get a divorce tomorrow, or wait for us to let you go to court for a divorce?"
"Tomorrow, let's get a divorce tomorrow." Shi Nan's voice was low. He didn't want to divorce Bo Meiqi at all. If he divorced Bo Meiqi, how would he survive in the company?
If the two hadn't divorced, those people would just be suffering from vomiting and diarrhea. They could just take some medicine and it wouldn't be a big deal. Shi Nan felt that this matter could still be salvaged. He could just blame the problem on his parents. As a recent college graduate, how could he know so much? Shouldn't he just follow his family's arrangements?
The Bai family took Bai Meiqi away. Bai Meiqi's brother kept an eye on those people in the hospital. He had to take good care of them and no one should be left behind.
Regarding the divorce between Bo Meiqi and Shi Nan, Bo Meiqi's uncle agreed. Bo Meiqi's uncle also had a headache whenever he thought about the things that Shi's family had done.
"It's all my uncle's fault. I introduced you to such a bad person." Bo Meiqi's uncle felt very guilty for letting his niece get married and divorced, turning her from a first-marriage woman into a second-marriage woman.
"Maybe this is my fate." Bai Meiqi smiled sadly.
The wedding banquet was held the day before and the divorce procedures were completed the day after. This was really fast.
This matter couldn't be concealed. People in the neighborhood quickly found out, especially since some people were hospitalized. Some people's conditions weren't as serious, but they still had diarrhea for a long time. When the divorce happened, the Bai family spread the news, and some people heard the Bai family talking about it when they went to the hospital. The Shi family wanted to keep this a secret, but they couldn't.
"You deserve it. You really deserve it."
"There's only one wedding banquet in a lifetime. What's the point of messing it up like this?"
"Divorce is good. After divorce, Shi Nan can marry a college student instead of a technical secondary school student."
…
Niu Cuihua and her husband were not invited to the wedding banquet, so they naturally did not suffer from vomiting and diarrhea.
After Niu's mother heard what those people said outside, she went back home and told Niu Cuihua. Niu Cuihua was quite surprised. She knew that Jiang Moli and his wife were invited to the wedding banquet, but Jiang Moli and his wife were not in Nancheng, so she did not go.
"Hurry up and check on your parents-in-law," Niu's mother said. "I don't know if they attended the wedding banquet yesterday. I wonder how they are doing."
"Mom, please watch what's in the pot. I'll go check on my mother-in-law." Niu Cuihua quickly took off her apron.
Niu Cuihua quickly took her bag and got on the bus. She had thought about making a phone call first, in case something happened to Jiang's mother and she said nothing happened.
Niu Cuihua was relieved when she saw that Jiang's mother was safe and sound. Jiang's mother didn't know what happened at Shi Nan's wedding banquet yet. She was still thinking about the big growth of the Chinese cabbages in the backyard and whether she could pick some to eat first.
"What's wrong?" Jiang's mother saw Niu Cuihua was a little out of breath and thought something serious had happened. She asked anxiously, "Take a breath and tell me quickly."
"You're fine, that's good. What about uncle, is he okay?" Niu Cuihua asked.
"Your uncle is fine." Jiang's mother asked, "What's wrong?"
"At the Shi family's wedding banquet, many people suffered from vomiting and diarrhea, and Shi Nan and his wife even divorced." Niu Cuihua said, "We were worried that something might happen to you at the wedding banquet, so we quickly came to check on you."
"It's okay. Your uncle and I didn't attend the wedding banquet. It's okay." Jiang's mother said.
"That's good. I'll go back first." Niu Cuihua said, "My mother is busy over there alone. I have to go back."
"Okay." Jiang's mother nodded. "Wait a minute."
Jiang's mother packed some fruit and pastries for Niu Cuihua to take back for the children. Niu Cuihua had come all this way, so Jiang's mother couldn't let her go back empty-handed, so she asked her to take some pastries back. Some of the pastries were given to Jiang's mother by Old Lady Wen. Old Lady Wen said that the pastries tasted good and asked Jiang's mother to try them. Jiang's mother had a good relationship with Old Lady Wen, so she didn't get too polite with her.
Mrs. Wen was old and not short of money. She didn't care about those things, nor did she think about whether Jiang's mother would have to pay the same amount of money. Money was completely insignificant in the face of true love.
Jiang Moli and his wife were still out of town, and they had no idea what happened at Shi Nan's wedding.
Shi Nan and Bo Meiqi divorced, and he returned home with the divorce certificate. Shi Nan looked depressed, he really didn't expect that he would fall to this point.
"Shi Nan..." Shi's mother reached out to grab Shi Nan's arm, but Shi Nan pushed her away fiercely.
"Are you happy? Are you happy?" Shi Nan's eyes flashed fiercely. He stared at Shi's mother and said, "I don't have to marry a junior college graduate as your daughter-in-law. You are very happy, right? Are you dancing with joy? Do you want to celebrate?"
Shi's mother was a little scared by Shi Nan's stare, "Shi Nan, don't be like this. I really didn't know that something like that would happen. If I had known it would happen, I would never have done it. It's all the fault of the Bai family. They insisted on such a high-end banquet. If they could have stepped back, none of this would have happened. Shi Nan..."
"Blame them?" Shi Nan laughed. "Of course I blame them. Meiqi divorced me, and even if we had a child, she would have aborted it. I have no relationship with the Bai family anymore, and my boss is still in the hospital. Mom, tell me, what should I do? What should I do?"
Shi Nan was so happy that he started to cry. He had already thought about it. If he married Bo Meiqi, his boss would help him more. Then, he would be able to get promoted quickly. Shi Nan thought his future would be smooth sailing and he would have someone to protect him.
Now, Shi Nan wondered if he could continue working at the company. It wasn't certain. Even if he could, would others treat him favorably? Could they really treat this as a one-time incident?
Ordinary colleagues were fine, so Shi Nan didn't invite many of them. But ordinary colleagues weren't that important, what was important were the leaders.
"I...this..." Shi's mother said, "I asked the doctor, they said it's not serious. Take some medicine and stay in the hospital for observation. If you're fine, you can go home. In some serious cases, they just need gastric lavage..."
Shi's mother thought this matter would be over soon, and that those people were being too fussy. She also felt that those people should blame the Bai family. Why didn't the Bai family go to the restaurant kitchen to take a look? If they had, they might have said that those ingredients couldn't be used, and then there wouldn't be any such incidents. And what about the restaurant manager? Why didn't they talk to the Bai family?
At the beginning, Shi's mother specifically told the hotel manager not to tell the Bai family. The Bai family did not go to the kitchen again because they did not want the Shi family to think that they did not trust the Shi family.
"Some are serious. Do you know who is serious?" Shi Nan said, "It's the leader of my unit, do you know?"
Something happened to those people, and Shi Nan still has to pay for their medical expenses. Wouldn't it be better to spend that money on the wedding banquet?
Shi Nan really didn't understand why his mother had to make such a fuss at the wedding banquet. If his mother hadn't made such a fuss, things wouldn't have turned out like this.
"My whole life is going to be ruined by you, ruined by you!" Shi Nan was indignant. "I've worked so hard for so long, but it's all in vain, useless!"
