Chapter 333 Let’s remarry. After I’m released from prison, we’ll remarry…
Chu Lingyi was really angry. She just wanted to go to college, why was it so difficult?
One by one, they all wanted to trip her up. Was it because they were jealous of her? Of course they were. Before the divorce, Zhang Tieshan never said he wouldn't let her have sex.
But she did have something on him, and now that she was pregnant, it was not very convenient for her to go to school. She had no choice but to compromise.
The two went through the divorce procedures, and the custody of their daughter was given to Zhang Tieshan, and Chu Lingyi was not required to pay child support.
Chu Lingyi sneered, "Half of your salary is deducted every month. Can you afford it?"
"That's my problem, none of your business." Zhang Tieshan didn't want to have any contact with Chu Lingyi anymore, so he didn't want any child support.
As for what to do if he ran out of money? He had already considered this. When Yao Zhizhi came to see him before, she mentioned that the country was about to liberalize the individual economy.
At that time, he can get the goods from the factory and sell them himself.
However, the new economic policy will have to wait until after the Third Plenary Session of the Eleventh Central Committee, that is, the guidelines will be determined by the end of this year and officially implemented in the early spring of next year.
So during this six-month transition period, he needs to borrow some money from someone.
Unfortunately, it is very difficult to borrow money these days. After hitting a wall everywhere, he could only ask Lu Yuan if she had any money.
"I'll just have to hold on until the beginning of next spring." Although Zhang Tieshan has no great prospects, he will not shirk the responsibility of raising his child.
Lu Yuan had already heard about his involvement with Director Xiao, so she wasn't surprised when he asked to borrow money. She asked, "Are you divorced from Chu Lingyi?"
"Let's get divorced. The child will stay with me and I'll raise him." Zhang Tieshan felt more at ease when facing his ex-wife than when facing Chu Lingyi.
After all, Lu Yuan's situation is not as good as his, and once Chu Lingyi really marries Luo Diaozhi, her social status will definitely be higher than his, even if her reputation is very bad.
However, Zhang Tieshan still had to save face. If he didn't mention Chu Lingyi's affair, Lu Yuan would laugh at him.
Lu Yuan really didn't know about these dirty things yet. She asked, "Will she still go to school? Yao Zhizhi promised me that as long as I can find a way to make Chu Lingyi give up going to college, she will give me a thousand yuan when I get out of prison. This thousand yuan is calculated based on the current market price. If prices rise in a few years, the amount will also be adjusted accordingly. If you are really short of money, then find a way to stop Chu Lingyi--"
"She won't go. I have the leverage over her." Zhang Tieshan didn't know about the agreement between Lv Yuan and Yao Zhizhi. Now that he had accomplished something by accident, he would be happy even if the credit went to Lv Yuan.
Lu Yuan was a little surprised: "What kind of handle do you have that can make her obey you obediently?"
"Don't ask me about that. I'm short of money right now. Can we split the money in half?" Zhang Tieshan was not greedy and wanted half. After all, he had two children to support.
Lu Yuan pondered for a moment and agreed: "I originally thought this was a bit of a loss, after all, you have to use this money to support Chu Lingyi's daughter. But when I think about Chu Lingyi provoking me before, I feel unhappy. Then let's split it in half, but I have a condition."
"You tell me." Zhang Tieshan didn't know what they had argued about before, and he was quite curious.
Lu Yuan scoffed, "She threatened me that only my children would call her Mom, and her children wouldn't ever call me Mom. As long as you promise to remarry me after I get out of prison, you can take 70% of the money."
"Did she really say such a thing?" Zhang Tieshan was a little surprised. Although he had long known that Chu Lingyi was not a good person, such arrogant words were still beyond his imagination. He was a little angry. "Does she think she is a good person? Just wait and see, she will be in jail sooner or later. Just for the matter of going to college, she has had two crooked ideas in a row. If she had obtained these grades by herself, I wouldn't have been able to threaten her successfully."
"After all, I'm serving my sentence, so I can't refute her when she scolds me." Lu Yuan felt a little happy when she saw that she had successfully provoked the man's anger.
Even though this man has remarried and divorced once, he is still the same at heart and is very easy to manipulate.
This probably proves the old saying that it is better for a couple to stay together as they are originally married. She likes him much more now.
Zhang Tieshan noticed her eager gaze and his old face flushed: "Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not the factory director anymore. If you remarry me, you will only live a hard life."
"It's okay. I'm not innocent either." Lu Yuan pinched his cheek with a wry smile. "Have you thought it over? If you have, I'll write to Yao Zhizhi to ask for money."
"If I remarry you, will you give me all the money?" Zhang Tieshan was not greedy, but he wanted to do business. If Lu Yuan could provide financial assistance, he would not have to shamelessly borrow from others.
Lu Yuan smiled. "I can't give it to you. I talked to her nicely and she paid part of it in advance and asked me to send it to my mother for medical treatment. I also need to keep some for myself for self-defense. Giving you 70% is already the limit."
"So that's how it is. She is really a nice person." Zhang Tieshan sighed silently. Why did he not think it through and offend such a good person?
He is capable, reliable, and willing to help those who are truly in need.
In the final analysis, it was him and Lu Yuan who were stupid. One of them did not follow the right path, stole someone else's manuscript, and refused to admit it. After he was caught, he became even worse and even wanted to kidnap someone else's child; the other one was short-sighted, refused someone else's request to cooperate in producing new products, and was also entangled with Director Xiao.
It’s all your own fault!
In short, now that things have come to this, we can only learn lessons and move forward.
Lu Yuan also sighed. No matter what grudges she had with Yao Zhizhi, at least this woman was trustworthy.
Prejudice in interpersonal relationships is really unacceptable. If she had not underestimated Yao Zhizhi's academic qualifications, she would not have made such a series of mistakes.
After she was released from prison, she wanted to plot against others again, but in the end, the other person was not harmed at all, and she was the one who ended up going back to prison.
Lu Yuan has been feeling a little depressed about being locked up lately. From time to time, she would sort out the events of the past few years in her mind. Now, like Zhang Tieshan, she can only look forward.
We are all people who have suffered setbacks in life, so no one will look down on anyone else. When the day comes when we are released from prison, we will live a good life.
Unfortunately, that day is a bit far away. Lu Yuan is really not sure if she has the patience to wait for that day. Maybe it won’t be long before she gets sick.
Being in jail is indeed a torture. She longs to breathe freely.
When she wrote to Yao Zhizhi, she couldn't help but complain. After all, Yao Zhizhi knew all about her embarrassment and filthiness, so there was no need for her to pretend.
Yao Zhizhi quickly replied to her letter and transferred the balance.
Lu Yuan opened the envelope and was surprised and happy after reading it. She immediately went to find the prison guard.
"What? You want to read a book?" The prison guard looked confused.
Lu Yuan nodded excitedly. "Yes! Read books, mechanics, please. I'm eager to learn. I want to be useful to the country."
The prison guard rolled his eyes. What use could a prisoner be?
However, prisoners also have human rights and can apply to borrow books to read, and the prison itself has a reading room.
The prison guard thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute. I'll ask my colleagues to look it over. If the reading room doesn't have it, you can contact your family to buy it for you."
"Okay, thank you, thank you!" Lu Yuan pressed the letter tightly against her chest. That's great. If she can transform existing technological products, increase production or improve precision, or come up with new inventions during her sentence, it can be considered a major meritorious service, and she can get her sentence reduced and be released earlier!
This letter is like a lighthouse that illuminates a miserable life, giving Lu Yuan, the stranded boat, hope of sailing out of the port.
Soon, the prison guard came to tell her that there was no library in the reading room, so Lu Yuan could only ask Zhang Tieshan to do it for her.
She handed the remittance slip to Zhang Tieshan: "I asked her to write your name. Here you go. Take the money and buy me some books and send them over—"
Zhang Tieshan wrote them down one by one and couldn't help but wonder: "Why are you looking at this?"
Lu Yuan quickly took out Yao Zhizhi's reply letter. After reading it, Zhang Tieshan couldn't help but give a thumbs-up. "Great, you're ambitious! I'll go buy it for you right away and wait for your good news. If you need any parts or materials in the meantime, just let me know and I'll arrange it."
"Okay!" In fact, Lu Yuan was not very confident in herself. After all, she had never learned any mechanical knowledge in her life.
All this requires her to start from scratch and climb on her own.
However, rather than wait for a long time, she would rather take action and strive for a chance to regain her freedom.
Two days later, Zhang Tieshan came to give her some books. Lü Yuan then reminded him, "When you have time, go to Yicheng University and try to get close to a few people in the Mechanical Engineering Department. If I don't understand something, I'll write it down and you can ask for me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Tieshan was also touched when he saw Lu Yuan being so positive and optimistic.
Ever since he was implicated by Director Xiao and fell from his position as factory director, he has turned back into the ugly duckling he used to be.
He was surrounded by contemptuous and mocking eyes, and even his second wife wanted to cheat on him. His life took a sharp turn for the worse, and in an instant he fell from the sunny midsummer to the harsh winter with howling north winds.
He thought that this would be his life, but now, he saw another possibility.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Let me learn with you. I just heard from Editor-in-Chief Yao that the machines at the provincial level seem to be more advanced than those at my factory. I'm a workshop operator, so I have some knowledge of these machines. When I have time, I'll go to the provincial level and try to find a way to modify the current machines. I'll work with you, and it'll save you a lot of trouble."
"That's great!" Lu Yuan was very happy. She hooked her arms around Zhang Tieshan's neck, moved over the meeting desk, and kissed him.
Zhang Tieshan kept smiling foolishly until he went to bed at night, touching his cheeks from time to time, and always felt like he was back to his honeymoon days.
Work hard, move forward, forward, forward, our life is heading towards the sun!
After falling asleep, Zhang Tieshan had a dream. He dreamed that Lv Yuan had really made an amazing invention, won an award, and came out several years ahead of schedule.
The day he went to pick her up, the weather was beautiful, the grass was green and the birds were singing, just like when they got married, everything was revived and full of vitality.
When he woke up the next day, he wrote a love letter to Lu Yuan and a letter to Yao Zhizhi, thanking her for her help and telling her all about his and Lu Yuan's plans.
Yao Zhizhi felt relieved after reading the reply.
The existence of prisons is indeed meaningful. It’s great that people like Lu Yuan will have a day to turn over a new leaf.
At the same time, Cao Guangyuan, who had a son, devoted all his heart to his son.
As for the daughter he had with Ma Xiangqin, and the adopted daughter, they all became embellishments.
Of course, he didn't treat them harshly, he just couldn't see them.
So, it was his day off, so he went to the market early in the morning and bought some crucian carp to make soup for Ma Xiangqin to nourish her body.
He was used to putting a radio next to him to listen to the broadcast while he was working. Now he held the kitchen knife in his right hand and held down the jumping fish with his left hand. He cut open the fish's belly steadily and accurately, cleaned the internal organs, and began to scrape the scales.
When the radio mentioned the household contract responsibility system, he pricked up his ears to see what the system was all about. At this time, two little girls ran out behind him, holding hands and calling "Dad" several times, but he didn't hear them at all.
Helpless, the two girls had to take the fifty cents they picked up from under the bed and ran out.
Before they even reached the supply and marketing cooperative, a strange man rushed over, picked them up by the waist, and took them away from the main road, one in each hand.
