Chapter 62 Fly Fly Fly Fly
"I can understand that you don't want to appear on camera because you are afraid of affecting your child. After all, when a woman becomes a mother, she lives for her child." Shen Qingqing stood opposite Sister Liu, analyzing the current situation in which she was unwilling to appear on camera.
Sister Liu held Shen Qingqing's hand gratefully. "It's okay as long as you understand me. I really didn't mean to find fault with you. I have to think more after becoming a mother. I divorced for my daughter."
"But Sister Liu. It's difficult for me right now. Filming during the pandemic is like treading on a minefield, groping for a safe place. We have to go back and be quarantined, which is also a huge expense. Now most of the money for filming is paid by myself. Before coming here, I happened to meet with an investor. The investor asked us to provide a good plan for them to do product placement. If we get this money, we can continue filming."
Sister Liu looked at Shen Qingqing and asked her, "Sister, what do you want me to do? As long as it doesn't appear on camera, it's fine."
Chen Qingqing felt that this situation was a bit difficult to handle. "This might be a bit difficult. My advertisement is for electric vehicles. You have to ride a bike to go through the motions anyway."
Sister Liu sighed and said nothing more. After a long while, she said to Shen Qingqing, "But no child would fail to recognize their mother's back."
The little girl from the production team raised her hand cleverly and said, "I see there's an elementary school in town. Usually elementary schools have doll costumes. I'll try to borrow some."
The producer borrowed two sets of doll costumes in total, one for an eagle and the other for a mother hen. It was said that they were specially purchased when the school played the game "Eagle Catches Chickens"... She made an appointment with the client's husband to come in the afternoon, and as the time was almost up, she asked Sister Liu to go to the bedroom to change clothes. The two sets of doll costumes were spread out in the room. Both people thought she would change into the mother hen's doll costume, but when the door opened again, it was the "eagle" who came out.
Sister Liu in the doll costume said, "I've been bullied by him all my life, and now I want to be an eagle."
"It's okay, it's fine, you can wear whatever you want, it doesn't matter what you wear." Shen Qingqing said.
Mr. Qi didn't arrive until about three o'clock. The moment she saw Mr. Qi, Shen Qingqing felt that she had misjudged him. She thought Mr. Qi had a ferocious face, full of flesh, and looked the type that was not easy to mess with. However, she didn't expect that Mr. Qi standing in front of them was actually very elegant.
Shen Qingqing looked behind him uncertainly, and when she saw that there was no one behind her, she hesitantly asked, "You are Mr. Qi, right?"
The other person sat down on the sofa, nodded calmly, and then asked, "What do I need you to do?"
He reached out to pour himself a glass of water, but he looked around and couldn't find the cup. Shen Qingqing and the producer looked at each other and realized that the other party had not been back for a long time.
Shen Qingqing sat on the other side of the sofa. "This time, we mainly want to adjust the relationship between you and Ms. Liu and align your demands. For the sake of your daughter, can you change into a doll costume?"
Mr. Qi, who was still looking for a water cup, was stunned. After hearing the word "daughter", he raised his head and glanced at Shen Qingqing and asked, "Where can I change it?"
-
When he changed into his doll costume and came out, the lawyer and Sister Liu were already sitting in the yard waiting, while Shen Qingqing and the producer stepped aside and started filming.
After Mr. Qi took his seat, the lawyer got straight to the point. "Ms. Liu's request is for a divorce and a 50/50 split of the property."
Mr. Qi glanced at Sister Liu and asked her, "Is that what you think? Why do you have to ask someone else to tell me? Can't you just express your own demands?"
Because she was hiding in a hood, no one could see Sister Liu's face. They could only see her wringing her hands awkwardly, "This lawyer said exactly what I wanted to say."
Mr. Qi sneered and looked her up and down: "You see, you are always like this, your ability to express yourself is weak, and you can't even speak clearly."
The lawyer frowned and stretched out his hand to block Mr. Qi. "As a lawyer, my duty is to speak for my client. She has the right to remain silent in any situation where I am around."
Sister Liu still didn't say anything, so Mr. Qi continued, "I'm not talking about the current problem. I'm talking about the fact that she was silent most of the time during our marriage of more than 20 years."
Shen Qingqing put down her kettle heavily in front of the monitor, feeling very bad.
Mr. Qi was still pressing, "You never look for me, but suddenly you come to me, calling so many people to your house and setting up a Hongmen Feast for me. Why won't you let me go until you get what you want today?"
The lawyer said, "You're overthinking it. We're here to solve problems, not to create conflicts."
Mr. Qi stood up suddenly, pointed at Sister Liu and asked, "Why are you still silent? What's your purpose in calling so many people to watch your husband and wife's affairs?"
Sister Liu finally spoke. She said, "My goal is to get a divorce and divide the property."
Mr. Qi slapped his thigh in frustration. "Don't you know this land will be relocated in three years? If you get divorced, your household registration will be moved out. How much money will you get then? You're uneducated, not good at speaking, and short-sighted. How are you going to live after the divorce?"
Sister Liu also stood up and looked him in the eye, but she was still a head shorter than him and her aura wasn't as strong. "You ask me what I'm going to do after the divorce? If I don't divorce, won't I still be a widow? For me, isn't life the same whether I'm divorced or not? Convert the house into money for me, and I'm going to get a divorce. I can't wait another three years."
Mr. Qi paced the yard, rubbing the back of his head. He said, "You've endured it for so many years, why are you unwilling to endure it after three years?"
Sister Liu stretched out her hand, pointed at him, and her voice trembled as she spoke, "Because you've gone too far. Fen and I grew up together, and Jingjing has called her aunt since she was a child. Now you are together. Do you take us seriously or not?" At the end, her voice became sharp and she shouted.
Because he was in a doll costume, no one knew what Mr. Qi's expression was. Everyone only saw him standing still in the yard. It seemed that he was silent for five minutes. Suddenly, Sister Liu began to slowly back away until she reached the corner of the wall, exited the painting, and came to Shen Qingqing's side. She whispered, "Let me go, let me go quickly, he's going to hit me, he must hit me."
Shen Qingqing didn't hear clearly at first and asked her what she was talking about. Before she finished speaking, Mr. Qi on the other end was really angry. He kicked the electric bike beside him. The electric bike issued a sharp alarm. Seeing the electric bike was destroyed, Shen Qingqing shouted and was about to open her mouth to curse when Sister Liu suddenly grabbed Shen Qingqing and ran out. In fact, the moment Mr. Qi went crazy, he was caught by everyone, but Sister Shen still couldn't control her fear and ran out with Shen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing turned around and called the cameraman behind her to follow. Sister Liu took Chen Qingqing outside and got on an electric car of unknown brand.
So there was a scene like this: Chen Qingqing and "Eagle" were riding electric bikes in the fields. "Eagle"'s expression could not be seen, but Chen Qingqing, who was sitting in the back seat, looked quite painful, because Mr. Qi's kick basically cut off her way to wealth.
She sat in the back seat, feeling worried, and took out a cigarette from her pocket to smoke. The strong wind made the cigarette burn quickly, and she finished it in a short while.
Shen Qingqing flicked out the cigarette butt and shouted from the back seat: Sister Liu, where are we going?
Sister Liu said: I don’t know, let’s run away first and see.
Shen Qingqing said: But... no one is chasing us.
Sister Liu acted as if she didn't hear it and kept muttering to herself: Run first, run first and talk later.
Shen Qingqing reached out and patted her on the back “Do whatever you want to do, don’t be afraid.”
She sat in the back seat, heading to an unknown destination. In fact, Shen Qingqing was in a very miserable mood. She turned her head several times and looked at the camera car behind her with a blank expression. In her heart, these shots were actually wasted because they would no longer have the money to shoot. Maybe it was not just these shots, but everything they had filmed in the past would be wasted.
-
Sister Liu rode too fast and took several shortcuts, so the filming car couldn't get in. Now no one caught up with her, and finally she stopped in a deserted place.
Shen Qingqing jumped out of the car, squatted aside and started lighting a cigarette again.
After Sister Shen parked the car, she took off her hood. Her eyes were red inside the hood, and it was obvious that she had been crying. "I'm sorry."
Shen Qingqing took out a tissue from her pocket and handed it over. She wanted to open her mouth to comfort the other person, but she couldn't open her mouth, so she just squatted there and continued to smoke. She thought to herself, was it really so difficult for Wang Shu to do his business?
She reached for her phone, wanting to send Wang Shu a message, but paused and put it down. While she hesitated, Sister Shen continued, "Actually, we're not the same type of people. We didn't get married for love, but because his father thought I was an honest person. He was going to study in another city, and his father didn't want him to go. To keep him, he found someone to introduce him to someone. He went on many blind dates, and I was the most honest, so we got married."
"After getting married, he felt very bored and went out to find another woman. My child has a very high IQ and was admitted to Beijing. It's all because of him that he's so smart. He always feels that he was wronged by this small town. He has been complaining about everything for so many years, so he is always moody. Every time before he hits someone, he would be silent for a few minutes. He said that was when he was thinking about the consequences of the beating. He was thinking about it for five minutes just now."
Seeing that the other party had said so much, it would not be good not to respond, so Shen Qingqing said, "It's okay, life will start anew after the divorce, and he will never beat you again."
"At my age, what's the point of starting over? I'm so cruel this time because my daughter can start a new life. She's in a relationship in Beijing. If the other party knew her family's situation, he would look down on her." Sister Liu's hair was soaked with sweat, strands sticking to her forehead. She also smelled of sweat and looked extremely embarrassed. At the end of her speech, she started crying again, then glanced at the electric bike next to her and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you at all. I didn't expect that damn guy to lose control of himself again."
Shen Qingqing asked again, "Do you love him then?"
"What is love? When I was eighteen or nineteen, I went on blind dates and married the person I liked, thinking it was love. Later, I found out it wasn't, and I started avoiding the person I liked. In fact, someone came to me when he was out and about, but I would subconsciously avoid him because I was afraid of meeting someone like him."
Shen Qingqing tried to force a laugh, but it was uglier than crying. She couldn't laugh at all. It was getting dark, and Sister Liu said, "Wait for me to go to the bathroom, and then I'll take you back."
After saying that, Sister Liu went to the wild field nearby. Shen Qingqing squatted there, holding up her face and looking up at the sky. The sky was so bright in the evening in Guizhou. She numbly wondered if she could ask the post-production team to adjust the electric car to become the investor Fei La's family car. She took out her hand to use Taobao image recognition, but the network was too poor in the wilderness. After taking the picture, she walked back and forth along the field, praying to find a decent signal for her to recognize the image.
About fifty meters away from the original spot, Chen Qingqing finally found the signal. On Taobao's image recognition, the electric car was identified as a 2010 Feila model. In other words, the electric car that took them away from the violent man was actually produced by the investor.
Shen Qingqing screamed and couldn't help but reach out to cover her temples. Sister Liu came back from the bathroom, already wearing a headgear and preparing to get on the electric bike. Shen Qingqing shouted, "Sister Liu, Sister Liu, did you buy this electric bike?"
The other party was about to speak, but Shen Qingqing made a stop expression, and then Shen Qingqing took out her mobile phone again to take a video of this eagle in the evening.
Shen Qingqing yelled, “Ride over here, Eagle, ride over here yourself.”
Sister Liu rode an electric bike towards her from a distance and then stopped in front of her.
Shen Qingqing asked: Did you buy this electric car yourself?
The old eagle said, "No, last year I went to the market to carry vegetables, and the market inspector saw that I was working too hard and gave me his electric bike."
"Have you ever had any problems with this electric car?"
"No, I can carry a lot of stuff on both sides of the rear wheels, and I can drive it for two days on a single charge. I've had almost no problems."
"Then do you know what brand this electric car is?"
"It seems like, flying, flying something."
"Fila! Fila! It's Fila!"
Shen Qingqing finally couldn't control herself and burst into laughter. Then she walked to the eagle, turned the camera over, and kissed the eagle fiercely through the hood in front of the camera.
-
The filming car had been waiting for them at a street corner in a small town that was previously inaccessible to other cars. When she came out, the cameraman asked, "Sister, the lawyer called and said the other party has agreed to the divorce. Do you want to get in my car? After we finish a few shots tomorrow, we can go back to Beijing."
Shen Qingqing's heart settled down, she turned around and said, "Sister Liu, you go up, I'll ride the electric bike back."
Shen Qingqing shouted again, "Who has headphones? Give me a pair of headphones?"
The girl from the production team threw out the Beats noise reduction headset, and Shen Qingqing caught it and put it on her ears.
The crew was worried about her, so they opened all the windows and drove slowly behind her. The girl from the production team held Sister Liu's hand and said to her, "The other party has agreed to the divorce. Our crew will help with the follow-up matters. We won't just leave it alone after filming. If you want to live, work, or settle down elsewhere, you can contact us again."
"After all, the purpose of doing this is to ensure that divorced women receive the best protection."
The sky was full of rosy clouds, and Chen Qingqing rode an electric bike under this orange sky, forward, forward, and forward again.
