Chapter 176: Marriage Competition 3: Oh, this pair of enemies, remarrying on the same day...
Kong Badou made a big fuss.
Because Peng Dajun completely outshined him.
He was a city dweller, a college graduate, and a respectable surveyor, earning much more than a workshop worker like him.
He was fair and gentle, and tall, unlike him. He had been working in the fields since he was a child, and was tanned. He was not very tall either, and looked like a half-black tree stump struck by lightning.
Comparing the two, the self-esteem of those who know they are not as good as others but still want to save face will explode.
He insisted that Mao Ling and Peng Dajun had been in love before his divorce, and even threatened Peng Dajun that he would go to his workplace to cause trouble.
As for Peng Dajun, he is a scholar and does not know how to argue. It is true that when a scholar meets a soldier, he cannot explain himself clearly.
He could only push up his glasses and repeatedly emphasize, "How can you call it infidelity when we can discuss it after the divorce? You're so shameless to defame someone's innocence out of thin air!"
Kong Badou was not going to listen at all. He just had one idea in mind: to make a fuss as much as possible so that he could force his ex-mother-in-law to introduce him to a date.
He must get married before Mao Ling, he must not lose!
Mao Ling was so angry that she picked up a broken stool, removed the legs, and shouted that she wanted to beat Kong Badou to death and get rid of the family.
When Yao Zhizhi arrived, Aunt Mao had already called the police. Xiao Jin and Lao Qiao were there, so Tang Fengyuan would naturally not be absent.
A group of people rushed over and separated these people.
Xiao Jin couldn't deal with the female comrade, so he went to look at Peng Dajun, while Lao Qiao held down Kong Badou. The boy picked up a small stool and wanted to have a fight with Mao Ling.
As for Mao Ling, she was handed over to Yao Zhizhi and Tang Fengyuan, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, to stop her.
Li Jing quickly picked up her camera and took a few photos, which she could publish as social news and also send to Zhou Ying to show her daughter the good things she had done.
Li Jing is a talented person. She specially chose an angle when taking the photos. Except for Kong Badou whose side face can be seen, only the backs of the others can be seen.
I just happened to capture the scene where Kong Badou was holding a small stool and was about to hit someone. It was perfect.
After taking the photos, Li Jing turned around and saw that Yao Weihua had also arrived. She quickly handed the camera to him for safekeeping and turned around to persuade Aunt Mao.
This old man is really worried sick. At his age, he still can't enjoy the happiness of family. It's a sin.
After all, it’s all because of a surname.
The dregs of the Chinese people for thousands of years have bewitched the minds and thoughts of countless people, making them willing to live and die for them, and even to turn their lives up to their knees for them.
It’s ironic when you think about it.
Yao Zhizhi and Li Jing looked at each other. If this matter was explored in depth, it would even be enough to be published in the Public Life section as a special report.
However, the most urgent task is to persuade these angry parties to calm down.
But the problem is, although Kong Badou has no evidence to prove that Mao Ling and Peng Dajun were having an affair while married, Mao Ling also has no evidence to prove that she and Peng Dajun were not having an affair while married.
This is where the problem lies.
How can I prove my innocence? If I can't, then all I can do is vent my emotions.
Mao Ling called Kong Badou an ungrateful and ungrateful person, and Kong Badou called Mao Ling fickle and shameless.
Yao Zhizhi's head was buzzing after hearing this, so she turned around and glanced at Kong Badou. "You're slandering your child's mother like this, are you trying to get rid of her job? Well, then, you can raise the four children later, and I'll see how you find a second wife. By the way, let me remind you that even if you raise the children, you still can't change their surnames as long as Mao Ling refuses to sign and agree. Of course, you can also go to the countryside and bribe the clerk there to change it for you secretly, but we can also report this clerk and send him to jail. I don't believe that as long as the Mao family gives you a heads up and clearly states that they don't want to change their surnames, there will be any blind clerk who will help you."
Kong Badou silently put down the small stool in his hand and muttered, "What kind of crappy law is this? After a divorce, the woman has to sign to change the child's surname?"
Yao Zhizhi raised an eyebrow. "What else? Our country's laws don't stipulate whose surname a child must take. It's OK for a child to take the mother's or the father's surname. But if either party wants to change the child's surname, the other party must be present to sign."
Kong Badou was so angry that he almost died. If he continued to make trouble, he might really have to raise four children alone, and they wouldn't even have his surname. Wouldn't that be a huge loss?
How could a person like him suffer a loss?
I could only snort coldly: "Okay, I won't say anything, but you must ask them to introduce me to a woman, otherwise I will come here every day to disgust them. I don't think Peng Dajun will still be in the mood to marry her!"
Mao Ling was furious. She pushed Tang Fengyuan away, rushed forward, grabbed Kong Badou by the collar, and roared, "Kong Badou, if you want to die, just say so. I will die with you today!"
Seeing that the two were about to fight again, Xiao Jin quickly pulled Kong Badou away, while Tang Fengyuan and Yao Zhizhi pulled Mao Ling away.
These two enemies are really frustrating.
Yao Zhizhi quickly leaned over to Mao Ling's ear and whispered a reminder, "Pay attention to your image. Peng Dajun is a scholar. If you scare him and he doesn't agree with you, then you can cry."
When Mao Ling heard this, she immediately glanced at Peng Dajun. Sure enough, Peng Dajun's shocked and disgusted look hurt her nerves.
She didn't want this to happen either. She also wanted to be a gentle and decent woman, but Kong Badou kept making trouble every now and then, and she really couldn't stand it anymore.
She could only lean on Yao Zhizhi's shoulder and start crying.
Seeing that she was still listening, Yao Zhizhi patted her shoulder and asked her mother-in-law to keep an eye on her. She stood up and went forward to negotiate with Kong Badou: "I don't have the time to waste on your affairs every day. Let's make things clear today."
"What do you want?" Kong Badou had to give her this face. Yao Jingzong lived in Qi Tiao Hutong. If he really wanted to deal with him later, it would be just a matter of a word.
Yao Zhizhi knew he had concerns, so she called him outside and had a private chat: "Your behavior has affected the daily lives of the neighbors in the entire alley. If the Mao family is really pushed to the limit, they can take back your job and sell it to someone else. It will also make money and provide for four children. But you, without a job, how can you stay in the city? Even if you return to the countryside, aren't you afraid of being laughed at? If I were you, I would quietly find a matchmaker to help me find a marriage. I also have to maintain good relations with my mother-in-law, so that losing your job will not be worth the loss."
Kong Badou didn't say anything and was sulking. He understood the reason, but he just couldn't control his anger.
Yao Zhizhi could only advise, "Look at the bright side. If Mao Ling can find someone, won't that help share the burden for you? Four children's monthly expenses are so huge. I don't believe Peng Dajun would be so stingy if he really married her."
Kong Badou sighed silently: "What if they have their own children?"
Yao Zhizhi couldn't just say that Peng Dajun was infertile, right?
That is someone's privacy. The matchmaker can say it when introducing them, but she cannot touch someone's sore spot behind their back.
She directly brought up Mao Ling's reluctance to have a baby: "No, Mao Ling doesn't want to have a baby anymore. They've already agreed on it."
"Really?" Kong Badou was a little surprised. How could there be such a stupid man in the world? Help him raise a child?
That was a good feeling, but what if something happened? He was still worried.
Yao Zhizhi could only ask him back: "Why? Do you want to lie under someone's bed every day and eavesdrop on whether they want a child? Even if they do want one, so what? It won't have your last name anyway."
"Don't always use this to irritate me." Kong Badou felt aggrieved.
If it weren't for the surname issue, he wouldn't have filed for divorce.
Really, I have four children, but I’m not willing to give one of them his surname. Why?
Yao Zhizhi was too lazy to bother with him anymore and only reminded him, "If you're sincere, apologize to Aunt Mao and the others. Maybe she can find a matchmaker to help you find a woman willing to live with you. If you keep making trouble, don't blame me for having Aunt Mao take away your job and send you back to farming."
Kong Badou sighed silently: "If she is willing to help me find one, I won't make a fuss."
"Really?" Yao Zhizhi turned around and called Aunt Mao over.
What else could Aunt Mao do? She had to let her daughter live a good life. She could only nod and say, "I'll look for her."
Finding someone who is divorced, has no family to rely on, and has nowhere else to turn to, may be a good match for Kong Badou.
The matter was resolved. Before Yao Zhizhi left, she gave Mao Ling some advice: "Peng Dajun is a scholar. You must not behave so harshly in the future. You will scare him away. He is a little older, but he is infertile. You don't have to suffer the pain of getting an IUD, and the treatment is good. Where can you find another suitable one like you?"
Mao Ling understood, and after the crowd dispersed, she quickly coaxed Peng Dajun.
Peng Dajun was also helpless. It was too difficult to find the conditions he wanted. Otherwise, based on Kong Badou's antics today and Mao Ling's crazy attitude, he really had to back out.
Fortunately, Mao Ling compensated him privately, and he had a great time that night, so the matter was over.
In the dead of night, he hugged the sweaty woman and asked, "Will he come to make trouble again in the future?"
"Probably not. Xiao Yao said that if he makes trouble again, I will fire him from his job." Mao Ling was still very grateful to Yao Zhizhi.
After all, this is a clear stand on her side, helping her to fight against Kong Badou.
Most people really don't want to get involved in this mess, so she reminded him, "When we get married, she, Xiao Qi, and Aunt Tang can sit at my parents' table. Is that okay with you?"
"No problem, no problem." Peng Dajun smiled, "Are you willing to marry me?"
"I'm willing." Mao Ling snuggled in his arms like a little bird. "I'm sorry for scaring you today."
"Be more restrained in the future. You are an adult now and you should be reasonable in everything." He started to give a thought lesson by showing off his knowledge.
Mao Ling was tired and fell asleep after listening for less than two minutes.
Peng Dajun had no choice but to turn off the lights and talk about it later.
A few days later, the story of Director Zhu of Qiandeng Commune was reported in the newspapers. The old beast was paraded through the streets and it was initially estimated that he would be sentenced to death.
Aunt Mao's eyes lit up when she saw the newspaper.
Go to Qiandeng Commune right away and see, oh my, those victimized women don't want to be treated like objects by men anymore, so they've had abortions and are getting divorced.
Maybe she could really find someone who was willing to marry Kong Badou, and then they would both get what they wanted, and he would no longer bother her daughter.
When Aunt Mao came back, she specially invited the blacksmith to go with her to take a look.
I actually found two lesbians who were not liked by their natal families after divorce.
When he heard that he could get married in the city, he immediately expressed his willingness to go with Aunt Mao.
Aunt Mao brought the people back directly to see which one Kong Badou liked.
Kong Badou was overjoyed when he received the news.
He chose a fair, slim and petite woman and set the wedding date immediately.
The other Aunt Mao didn't want the other person to come in vain, so she adopted the other person as her goddaughter. She usually lived in Aunt Mao's house in the alley and took odd jobs.
Xiaoqiao was about to take an exam, and Ye Sheng had gone to the provincial capital for an internship. Aunt Mao introduced her to Yao Weihua's bamboo product shop, asking her to help run the shop and make bamboo products. She would find an opportunity in the future to introduce her to a good in-law.
When Yao Zhizhi got home from get off work that evening, she received an invitation from Aunt Mao: "Ah, this pair of enemies got remarried on the same day. I can finally put my mind at ease."
Yao Zhizhi smiled and looked at the date. It was almost time, only half a month left.
A few days later, she and Li Jing went to Qiandeng Commune again, talked to the women's director there, and resolved several neighborhood disputes.
After coming back, one of them wrote press releases, and the other prepared articles for public life. They were very busy.
After returning from get off work in the evening, Yao Zhizhi clicked on the settlement page of Chigua. One million was enough, and there were still 70,000 tokens left.
I quickly upgraded and bought a space storage bracelet for my third brother.
Then he packed the treasures that his third brother brought back into the room, leaving only the set of teapots from Jian Kiln.
The next morning, Yao Zhizhi handed the bracelet to Yao Weihua: "Brother, take it, I'll teach you how to use it. There's also plenty of dry food and drinking water in it, as well as clothes, shoes, and tissues. If you want to go to Hong Kong, you can go anytime."
