Immediately, Aunt Zhang and the others in the car looked at Su Jiaojiao with a strange expression, but dared not say anything else, in case she really wanted to jump out of the car, that would be bad.
Upon arriving in town, the two quickly went through the divorce proceedings.
The next morning, the whole brigade was filled with news of Su Jiaojiao's divorce.
When we were assembling at the brigade headquarters, we took advantage of the fact that the brigade leader had not yet arrived.
The old women started chatting downstairs.
"Have you heard? Su Jiaojiao and Xie Feng divorced yesterday."
"Why? I noticed that Su, the educated youth, is already heavily pregnant. Why did she get divorced? What will happen to her now?"
“I heard Xie, the educated youth, say on the oxcart yesterday that it was Su, the educated youth, who insisted on getting a divorce. She threatened to kill herself if she didn’t agree, forcing Xie to agree. You didn’t see how heartbroken Xie was.”
"Xie Zhiqing is a decent worker and quite handsome. What's Su Jiaojiao up to? What's she thinking? If I were a few years younger and could marry a man like Xie Zhiqing, I would never get a divorce."
"Old Mrs. Zhou, you're dreaming! You're practically half-buried in the ground, and you're still eyeing that young man."
...
Lin Pandi was overjoyed when she learned about this.
She even casually mentioned to those gossipy old ladies that Su Jiaojiao forced Xie Feng to divorce her because the child wasn't Xie Feng's and she wanted to be with her lover.
Once this news spread, Su Jiaojiao's reputation in the village was completely ruined.
Su Li noticed Xie Feng was everywhere these past few days; ever since his divorce, he's been constantly trying to get close to her.
For example, right now, she's just cutting some pig feed at the foot of the mountain, and they've even come to help her.
Su Li, Jiao Jiao and I are divorced.
She rolled her eyes. Who wanted to know about his petty secrets?
Besides, the village aunties are so gossipy these days, the news's already spread, she'd heard about it long ago. And what does their divorce have to do with her anyway?
"Okay, I understand. If you have nothing else to do, you should go now."
Get out of her sight! Don't get in her way.
Now that this person is divorced, she keeps hanging around him, and soon there will be more gossip circulating in the village.
She didn't want anything to get out of him.
Xie Feng smiled bitterly, "I'm just heartbroken. I never expected her to do something like that behind my back."
Su Li was speechless. She didn't want to listen to his rant at all. She wasn't his emotional dumping ground.
"Comrade Xie, I just want to cut pig feed in peace and quiet. Can you please not bother me?"
Seeing that the man was stubbornly refusing to leave, Su Li carried her basket to another spot and began quickly cutting pig feed.
She quickly filled a basket with pig feed, and planned to deliver one basket in the morning and come back to cut more in the afternoon.
I really don't want to stay here with this person any longer.
Su Li quickly handed over the pig feed, and Xie Feng followed at a distance.
He only walked quickly to Su Li when he saw that there were no people on the path.
“Su Li, I don’t understand. We were both sent-down youths, why are you so annoyed with me? Did I do something to offend you? Tell me and I’ll change.”
Su Li, unable to bear it any longer, said, "Xie Feng, get this straight, I have a boyfriend. What's with you always following me around? If people see us, it's bound to cause misunderstandings."
At this moment, Xie Feng looked at her with deep affection and said, "Su Li, I like you."
Su Li felt more disgusted than if she had swallowed a fly when she heard this.
She turned around and glared angrily at Xie Feng. "Do you want to hear what you're saying? You're a man who just got divorced, is it appropriate for you to say these things to me? Besides, I have a girlfriend."
"Su Li, do you mind that I've had other women? Nothing happened between me and Su Jiaojiao. I've never touched her, and the child in her belly isn't mine."
"I really like you. I thought it was impossible for us, but now I'm divorced from her. Please give me a chance?"
Su Li was too lazy to bother with him anymore. She had already said that she had a boyfriend, and this person was still spouting a bunch of nonsense.
She turned around and left immediately.
Xie Feng's words were overheard by Yuan Shuo, who was passing by. He had come to visit his niece today because he was taking a break, but he didn't expect to see his niece's husband confessing his love to another woman, the vicious Su Li.
He was instantly enraged, stepped forward, and without saying a word, slapped Su Li across the face.
Su Li touched her face and saw that Yuan Shuo, who was still angry, wanted to hit her again. She laughed in anger.
Without thinking, he slapped Yuan Shuo across the face twice.
Why did you hit me, comrade?
Yuan Shuo was furious that Su Li would fight back, and said, "You seduced a married woman, so what if I hit you? You deserve it. Don't you know Xie Feng is Jiao Jiao's man? Are you that shameless, that desperate for a man? I think you just can't stand to see Jiao Jiao doing well."
Xie Feng didn't want his good deed to be ruined by others, so he quickly stepped forward to stand in front of Su Li to block Yuan Shuo.
Uncle, you've misunderstood. Jiaojiao and I are divorced. I genuinely like Su Li.
Please don't treat her like that, or don't blame me for being ruthless next time.
He spoke with great seriousness, his tone leaving no room for argument. Even Yuan Shuo was somewhat taken aback.
He quickly became even angrier; "Is it because of this little vixen that you divorced Jiaojiao? What's so good about her? Do you know how vicious she is? How badly she's hurt Jiaojiao?"
With that, he stood up and grabbed Xie Feng, saying, "Get out of my way! Today I'm going to teach this bitch a lesson. Let's see if she dares to steal Jiaojiao's things again!"
