Chapter 181 Divorced
With everything settled, Xiao Taohua didn't try to get attention. Lin Yushan, who had successfully confessed his feelings, took Zhu Zhu out for a walk after asking for leave, giving the onlookers something to talk about again.
As for Wang Qiu, he returned home completely dejected.
She couldn't understand why her two sons wouldn't listen to her. The older son was disobedient, and the younger son, who usually seemed gentle, was just as disobedient as the older son.
For her youngest son's sake, Wang Qiu had been talking herself hoarse every day, trying to find him a good marriage. But to her utter surprise, her youngest son had found a female educated youth on his own.
When Wang Qiu heard the news about the female educated youth, and one who had a relationship with the male educated youth Jiang Shang, she was furious, but she couldn't bring herself to say anything hurtful in front of her son.
Wang Qiu knew that she was afraid of her son, even though he was usually gentle and mild-mannered. She couldn't forget the cold look on his face when he disagreed with their methods.
The eldest son said it was for work convenience in town, which sounds good to outsiders, but who knows the real story?
Wang Qiu couldn't afford to lose her youngest son, so she finally compromised.
Wang Qiu sometimes wondered why their family's life had turned out this way. Perhaps it really was retribution, that everything was retribution.
While everyone else was overjoyed, Lin Guangyi's family remained unchanged even after his return. Hearing that his second son had confessed his love to a female educated youth, he showed no change whatsoever. This finally broke Wang Qiu's heart, and she burst into tears, hitting him: "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! My sons aren't close to me, my daughters aren't close to me, and now my husband and I are both bad people! Ah, how did I end up marrying you?"
Lin Guangyi said coldly, "I also want to say why I married you in the first place. Don't blame me, we're both in the same boat."
"Waaah!" A shrill and miserable cry echoed throughout the room, and Lin Xiaoguang, who had originally intended to come in, turned around and went out.
That evening, Lin Guangsheng and his wife also heard about this, and Lin Yushan even brought Zhu Zhu to them.
Looking at his unusually shy nephew, Lin Guangsheng smiled and said, "Now that you've confessed, live your life well. Remember your responsibilities and don't let people down."
"Don't worry, Uncle, I will," Lin Yushan assured him.
"Yes, I believe you." He still trusted his nephews' character.
To be honest, sometimes Lin Guangsheng didn't understand what his brothers were thinking. But he wasn't like them; they were no longer connected, and whatever happened to their parents was none of his business.
As the head of the family, Lin Guangsheng's heart was only so small, barely big enough to hold his wife and daughter.
While the uncle and nephew were talking, Yin Qing was also chatting politely with Zhu Zhu. She had heard of these educated youths before, but this was her first time meeting them.
Overall, Lin Guangsheng and his wife were quite mild in their attitude toward this matter, which made Zhu Zhu, who was meeting the parents for the first time, breathe a sigh of relief.
As for Wang Qiu, whom I met earlier, that occasion wasn't about meeting the parents; it even had a bit of a chaotic, confrontational feel to it.
but……
Zhu Zhu couldn't help but glance at Lin Yushan, who was having a lively conversation with Lin Guangsheng. Hmm, they would be a couple from now on. Looking at Lin Yushan, Zhu Zhu felt that she had made the right choice. Perhaps she would experience a bad mother-in-law relationship in the future, but as long as that person was by her side, she could overcome it.
At this moment, Zhu Zhu couldn't help but think of Qin Jiajia and Jiang Shang, and seemed to understand them a little. However, when it came to forgiveness, she wasn't so generous in forgiving them. At most, they would remain as strangers, not interfering with each other.
After confirming their relationship, Lin Yushan discussed with the brigade leader about building a house in the production team and happily got married before the cold winter arrived.
Wang Qiu disagreed with the marriage, but still attended the wedding banquet with a stern face. Lin Guangyi did the same. Afterwards, Lin Yushan and his wife moved out of the mansion and into their newly built house.
Speaking of the wedding banquet, Zhu Zhu's family was not present. Everyone had heard rumors about the breakdown of Zhu Zhu and Jiang Shang's relationship, and the fact that Zhu Zhu's family did not attend this time seemed to confirm those rumors.
However, none of that matters. As long as the child agrees and both parents are capable, other things don't seem to matter much. In fact, in Zhu Zhu's eyes, they really aren't that important.
After Zhu Zhu got married, Jiang Yan felt a bit lonely, but thankfully, Mi Ya was still there with her at the educated youth settlement.
However, Jiang Yan heard that Jiang Shang's parents had a strong reaction to Zhu Zhu's marriage. As for whether it was true or not, she didn't care.
Winter is cold, and for most people it's a tough season, but that doesn't apply to Kobayashi Village.
After all, it was a well-known wealthy production team, so even in difficult times, nothing bad would happen. Every household had plenty of charcoal and other necessities, and no one would go hungry. However, the quality of the food was not guaranteed.
However, just before the Lunar New Year, news broke that the once-happy young couple, who had been sent to the countryside during the Cultural Revolution, were on the verge of divorce!
Little Peach Blossom stared wide-eyed in shock: "Really?"
"Really!" The messenger clicked his tongue. "It's true what they say, poverty makes life miserable for couples."
"They have such a good relationship..."
"The relationship is quite good, but even if it's good, there's nothing you can do if you can't survive. But Comrade Jiang Shang's parents are really ruthless. They said they wouldn't help their son anymore and they really didn't care about him at all."
From the messenger, Little Peach Blossom understood the whole story; in short, it was caused by a lack of money, ration coupons, and food.
Jiang Shang used to be the son of a wealthy family. When a son is born, his parents would compensate him to some extent. But ever since Jiang Shang got together with Qin Jiajia, his parents have long since stopped compensating him. As for the work points Jiang Shang earns himself, they are simply not enough to support the couple's expenses.
Qin Jiajia might be more frugal, but Jiang Shang, who is used to a lavish lifestyle, won't change in a short time.
As a result, many conflicts become irreconcilable.
Love is no match for material things. If you can't even fill your stomach, where do you find the leisure for romance?
Little Peach Blossom: ...
What about love?
A look of confusion.
Even Xiao Taohua couldn't resist flipping through the panel. The contents of the panel in her memory clearly appeared in her mind. Qin Jiajia and Jiang Shang lived a happy life without Zhu Zhu's obstruction or their parents' obstruction.
Well, now that Zhu Zhu isn't interfering, and Jiang Shang's parents aren't interfering either, why are they getting a divorce?
It's outrageous, utterly outrageous. Little Peach Blossom refuses to believe that material things have triumphed over love.
Even though she was unwilling to believe it, and even though she was confused about many things, Xiao Taohua understood that Qin Jiajia and Jiang Shang were truly divorced.
The promise of being a perfect match is gone.
A happy life is out of the question.
The villainous female supporting character didn't cause any trouble at first.
Therefore, setbacks are inevitable on the road to love.
Little Peach Blossom couldn't help but guess.
