As soon as Liu Xiaofen sat down, she spread out the divorce certificate in front of Shen Guihua with a smile.
"Sister-in-law, if you hadn't helped me last night, my marriage wouldn't have gone so smoothly." Liu Xiaofen paused. "By the way, sister-in-law, did you really see Sister Liu at the clinic?"
Shen Guihua shook her head, "No."
"So last night you..."
"I tricked her, but she exposed herself."
When Liu Xiaofen heard that it was Shen Guihua who tricked her out, she couldn't help but laugh, "Sister-in-law, you are really amazing."
"Just good luck."
Chen Guihua nodded repeatedly without further explanation. Liu Xiaofen didn't care too much about it and got straight to the point.
"Sister-in-law, regarding the winter melon issue, I happened to see the village chief when I came back today and mentioned it to him. He said it would cost 500 yuan a year, which is not cheap. And what about the food factory..."
500 yuan was not a small amount of money for a rural woman in the 1980s!
If you can make money, that would be the best. If you lose money, you probably won’t even be able to get any relief.
The pressure is quite great.
Chen Guihua noticed Liu Xiaofen's hesitation and smiled, "It's okay. I'll talk to the village chief later to see if I can pay less."
Liu Xiaofen didn't know whether Chen Guihua could negotiate the price, but she just nodded without expressing much opinion.
"Oh, Xiaofen, tomorrow is the big market day. Come with me to the town to sell bread and earn a little money to support yourself."
"Will anyone buy this bread?"
"Of course I do. Last time at the market, when I set up a stall there, business was booming. I couldn't handle it all by myself. Tomorrow you can come and help me. I'll feed you and give you 3 yuan a day. What do you think?"
Liu Xiaofen was worried about what to do, but when she heard that she could have enough food to eat and earn 3 yuan a day by accompanying Chen Guihua to set up a stall, she happily agreed.
After the two chatted about some family matters, Liu Xiaofen returned to her new home and started to get busy. After all, she had just moved back last night and many things were not sorted out, so she had to clean them up again today.
After Liu Xiaofen left, Chen Guihua continued to mend her child's schoolbag. The child would start school in two days, and how could she do without a good schoolbag?
After repairing the schoolbag, she gave it to the two children to try carrying. After making sure they were comfortable, she went out to the village chief's house.
When she arrived at the village chief's house, she happened to meet the village chief who was about to go out, so she greeted him.
"Village chief, where are you going?"
"Nothing, just going to the fields to check. What's wrong?"
Chen Guihua said with a smile, "Yes, there are some things, but I wonder if you are free to chat for a few minutes now?"
The village chief put his hands behind his back, looked at the sun above his head, and nodded. "It's okay, tell me, I'm not in a hurry."
Chen Guihua looked around and found that there were no people around. She whispered, "I heard that Liu Xiaofen wants to contract the untended land at the village entrance. Will you charge her 500 yuan a year?"
The village chief didn't think much about it and nodded, "Yes, you want to contract it too?"
Chen Guihua smiled and said, "I want to work with Liu Xiaofen on that piece of land, but can the money be lower?"
When the village chief heard that Chen Guihua was going to contract the land with Liu Xiaofen, he was a little confused.
Liu Xiaofen contracted the land because she was divorced from Niu Fugui and had no land and no income. However, Chen Guihua was not divorced and her family still had land to farm. How could she have so much energy to open up new land?
"Guihua, you suddenly want to contract the land with Liu Xiaofen, are you planning to work with Niu Dali..."
The village chief didn't say anything else. He clapped his hands and made a separation gesture.
Chen Guihua still had a kind smile on her face. "Don't worry about this. I just want to ask you, can the contract fee for that piece of land be reduced a little?"
The village chief pursed his lips and shook his head. "No! This is already a concession given to Liu Xiaofen because she's a local villager and doesn't have anywhere else to go."
Chen Guihua did not show any surprise or displeasure at the village chief's refusal, and continued to smile, but the words she said made the village chief feel cold all over.
"Village Chief, you should know that Niu Fugui was the one who took the blame for someone else last night, right?"
"What do you mean by that?" The village chief turned his head away, his eyes evasive.
Chen Guihua smiled coldly and continued, "Others may not know, but I do know that Niu Fugui and Liu Damei are innocent, and the child in Liu Damei's belly belongs to someone else. She was forced to let Niu Fugui take the blame."
"I don't know what you're talking about!"
"Since you don't know, then I'll go talk to your wife. I feel like she guessed something last night, but she's not sure yet. If I..."
Shen Guihua hadn't said anything else, but the sense of compulsion emanating from her made the village chief break out in a cold sweat.
"Okay, I'll take a little less of the contract money, and you can stop here!"
Originally, Chen Guihua only guessed that the child that Liu Damei aborted was the child of the village chief, but she didn't expect that it would turn out to be true after such a trick.
In her previous life, Chen Guihua accidentally saw the village chief pulling up his pants when he came out of Liu Damei's house. She didn't think much about it at the time, and just thought that the village chief was talking to Liu Damei about something, and his pants happened to be a little loose.
Last night, when she saw the village chief's wife stop Liu Damei in the crowd and ask her to tell her whose child the child was, she became suspicious.
When the news of Liu Damei going to the hospital for an abortion came to light, everyone naturally thought of the relationship between Liu Damei and Niu Fugui, otherwise Liu Xiaofen would not have filed for divorce because of this.
But the village chief's wife was different. She actually used Niu Fugui's evidence to prove her innocence and forced Liu Damei to tell her who the child belonged to. It can be seen that the village chief's wife knew some things, but she had no evidence for these things and only guessed.
As a result, when Niu Fugui was about to tell who the child was, the village chief's reaction was even more intense than that of the idiot Niu Dali.
Putting these scenes together, Chen Guihua built a new layer of relationship, that is, the village chief's wife discovered some clues between the village chief and Liu Damei, but not much. Last night, the village chief's wife just wanted to test it out.
Chen Guihua used her guess to negotiate with the village chief. In order to avoid wrong guesses, Chen Guihua never mentioned the village chief's name, but always leaned in this direction in her words.
Finally, the village chief couldn't stand the pressure and fell into Chen Guihua's trap.
"Let's put it this way, 450 yuan a year, and this money also has to go into the village's public funds, I can't afford to pay too little!"
"350 yuan. Xiaofen just got divorced and is short on money."
"What 350 yuan? You're not afraid of being scolded by the villagers, but I am!"
The village chief was so angry at the force of Chen Guihua's blow that he rolled his eyes.
But this was within Shen Guihua's expectations. She didn't get angry and simply held up four fingers. "Then 400 yuan, let's all take a step back. This is also my bottom line."
