Zhou Yanhong: "Yes, Song Zhiqing and Li Haisheng got married and registered their marriage at Erdan's father's place."
Yes, the people who came over tonight to share gossip with her were Zhou Yanhong and Jiang Damei.
Both of their sons studied martial arts at the Yu family home, so they often visited the Yu family.
In the countryside, few people think of going to town to get a marriage certificate when they get married. Most people just register with the village head and that's considered getting married.
Jiang Damei: "Don't even mention you, I was just as shocked when I heard the news. Back then, Song Zhiqing kept Li Haisheng around, making him do chores and bring her food. But then a better Comrade Hao came along, and Song Zhiqing immediately dumped Li Haisheng."
"She even jumped into the water to marry Comrade Hao. Unexpectedly, in just two years, after being paraded through the streets and exposed to so many people, the two of them suddenly got married."
"If they had known it would turn out like this, why did they go through all that trouble in the first place? Why didn't they just get married directly? Don't they feel uncomfortable about it coming to this?"
Being paraded through the streets for adultery meant being stripped naked, with women left only in their underwear and men only in their underwear. This went on for a week, meaning that at least tens of thousands of people saw their naked bodies.
After a few hours of calming down, Zhou Yanhong had figured it out and said calmly, "It's not surprising that Li Haisheng can't find a wife and Song Liyun has ruined her reputation. It's not surprising that two people who are both disgraced are forced to come together."
Yu Rujia: "They're both equally dark-skinned, so neither of them should complain about the other. It's just that Captain Huang is going to have to worry again."
Li Haisheng and Song Liyun wanted to register their marriage at his place, and he couldn't very well stop them. He could only reluctantly accept that Song Liyun would return to Shangfen Brigade.
Zhou Yanhong: "How could I not worry? When the two of them came to register, Lao Huang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot."
"Another troublemaker has joined the team. Who knows when he might cause even bigger trouble. After registering them both, Lao Huang didn't have a good look on his face for a long time."
The last time they came to the Yu family for treatment, the two families were at loggerheads. This time, Song Liyun and Li Haisheng came together for a follow-up examination. There was no longer any confrontation between them, and Song Liyun even took the initiative to let Li Haisheng go first for the examination.
After Yu Rujia finished the re-examination for them in a professional manner, she explained their situations to the two of them one by one.
Yu Rujia: "Song Zhiqing's legs were injured from kneeling for so long. To fully recover, she needs corrective surgery at the hospital; otherwise, she will have a limp after the injury heals."
"Aside from the scars on his face that can't be removed, Comrade Li can recover his health as long as he takes good care of himself."
After her divorce, Song Liyun was kicked out of the Hao family home, which ruined her reputation. Some hooligans took the opportunity to harass her, further aggravating her leg injury.
If Song Liyun, who is penniless and has a bad reputation, continues to stay in the Red Central Brigade, she will surely be bullied to death by hooligans. Returning to the Li family with Huang Caihong is the only way for her to save her life.
Just as she expected, she returned to the Shangfen Brigade for a few days and was finally able to recover from her injuries. But Huang Caihong refused to pay for her medical treatment and wouldn't even let her leave the house.
Song Liyun could only rub the medicine she had previously obtained from Yu Rujia.
Today, the pain became unbearable, so Song Liyun used the excuse of going for a follow-up check-up for Li Haisheng to successfully leave her home and come to Yu Rujia's place to see about her injury.
Upon hearing Yu Rujia say that her leg would become lame without surgery, Song Liyun's face involuntarily turned pale.
When she endured the public humiliation, she was relieved that her body had not suffered any lasting health problems. She planned to start over in a new place a few years later, when the reform and opening up had begun, and no one there would know about her past.
When she was with the Hao family, she was harassed by some hooligans, but apart from the severe pain, she wasn't worried about her chastity. However, now that her leg is like this, Huang Caihong definitely won't give her money to go to the hospital for surgery.
If her leg is really crippled, even if she gets to the new map, those rich people won't want her.
Song Liyun asked anxiously, "Yu Zhiqing, your medical skills are so superb, is there really no other way?"
She really had no money. Ever since she got married, her family stopped giving her subsidies after they found out she had married a soldier.
After all, everyone knows that soldiers have high salaries. Her family was not well-off to begin with, and they knew that her life was secure, so why would they give her any more subsidies? It was already good enough that they didn't ask her to subsidize her family.
Although Hao Jianguo did not share a room with her, he still took some responsibility and would send her five yuan every month.
Unfortunately, the money never reached her. Every time she went to ask for it back, she would make a huge fuss, and whether she actually got the money was another matter entirely.
Even if she finally got the money, it would be taken away by Li Haisheng and Zhou Likang. The twenty or so yuan she had saved over two years was paid to the people who brought her to Shangfen Brigade and Yu Rujia a few days ago, and now she was penniless.
Yu Rujia: "You can see what the situation is like here. There is no equipment at all. No matter how skilled I am, I can't cook without rice."
After leaving the Yu family, Song Liyun tried to persuade Li Haisheng, hoping to get his support.
Song Liyun: "Haisheng, I was sorry for what I did to you before. After going through so much, we finally became husband and wife and will spend the rest of our lives together. Can you help me?"
Li Haisheng sneered, "What's the value of being married to you? You and Hao Jianguo are husband and wife, but you still cheated on me. Hao Jianguo is much better off than me, yet you still betrayed him."
“I wouldn’t be surprised if you betrayed me one day, so why should I pay for your surgery?”
He's just a bum, not a fool; how could he not see through Song Liyun's true nature?
Undeterred, Song Liyun pleaded, "If my leg is healed, wouldn't it be easier for me to work? Don't you want more income for the family?"
Li Haisheng: "I know what kind of person you are. Back when you were still able-bodied, you made me and Zhou, the educated youth, work for you."
“How could you possibly work properly now? I know exactly how many work points you earn each day.”
"Don't treat me like a fool. If you ask me, we're a perfect match, one of us is disfigured and the other is crippled; don't even think about surgery."
"Of course, if you dare to cheat on me with someone else, I will personally send you to be paraded through the streets and then beat you to death. If you don't believe me, you can try."
As Li Haisheng spoke, his face became distorted. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't find a wife and that Song Liyun was still fertile, he really wouldn't have wanted to marry this piece of trash.
In his eyes, Song Liyun is now just a tool. Once she gives birth, he can beat her however he wants; if she gets hurt, he'll just throw her out.
Now that things had come to this, Song Liyun knew it was impossible to get money from him for the surgery.
