Chapter 402: Remarried Couples, Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 Divorce is OK, Money...
Mao Ling was detained for several days and had no idea that Peng Dajun was lying.
She leaned over to take a look at the noodles in clear soup and immediately lost her appetite. She could only ask, "Can't you go to the Zhou family next door and borrow some money?"
Peng Dajun really wanted to roll his eyes. What a psycho! She was brainless and got into trouble for beating someone up, and even had to pay 600 yuan in compensation. Now she has the nerve to ask him to borrow money. No way.
But he didn't want to argue with her. This woman was too noisy. He was a respectable man and couldn't afford to embarrass herself. After all, this was in the family building and many colleagues were watching.
So he said in embarrassment: "You know, the Zhou family has many children. Don't their own grandchildren need to eat? Even if they can't save face, they can't lend us money. Besides, they usually take care of us so much, how can I ask for this?"
Mao Ling was speechless. Although she had a bad temper and liked to be a hands-off boss, leaving her children to their mother, she didn't want to owe foreign debts.
This is a big issue concerning face.
She could only ask, "What did the police station say? Was the thief caught?"
Peng Dajun simply blamed the times, sighing, "Nothing's happening. With reform and opening up, many farmers are moving to the cities for work. Population mobility is high, and with so many influxes, the police station can't handle it all. Let's wait and see."
Mao Ling was furious and muttered, "The country spends so much money every year to support these police officers and public security officers. Is it just to let them eat for free? No, I have to go ask!"
Peng Dajun was afraid she would get into trouble again at the police station, so he quickly stopped her. "Stop it! I just checked with them today. Won't they be annoyed if you go again? The police station is just for you. You have to be understanding. Their work is already very demanding. If we ordinary people don't show some understanding, who will they turn to for justice?"
Mao Ling refused and still wanted to go. When she lived in Ba Tiao Hutong, there was no one to intervene even when she fought with Kong Badou in the middle of the night!
Now that the family has lost so much money, it would be reasonable for her to urge them to pay. After all, the police station is supposed to serve the people!
She shook off Peng Dajun and was about to leave. Peng Dajun got angry, pushed his glasses, and warned her with a sneer, "Okay, go ahead. I'll go with you. I can't afford to lose face. Since you won't listen, let's get a divorce."
"What do you mean?" Mao Ling was shocked. Why did Peng Dajun suddenly want a divorce without any reason?
In fact, it is not so unreasonable. In the past six months of this year, Peng Dajun has obviously worked more overtime. She was bored at home alone, so she went to her neighbor's house to play cards. When she came back, Peng Dajun was asleep.
Although she didn't want to admit it, the relationship between the two had indeed cooled down during this period.
Could it be that Peng Dajun has someone outside?
Not really. He looked clean and fresh, without any scent of makeup, and you couldn't see anything through his underwear.
Then he...
Could it be that her mother paid Kong Badou 600 yuan in compensation and Peng Dajun didn't want to help pay the debt?
No, if that was the case, she had to go to the police station! His income over the past few years was joint property, she had to get it back, at least split it in half!
If he really wants to divorce, then so be it, as if neither of them can't live without the other, but she has to figure out the financial aspects.
However, Peng Dajun is now furious. If she continues to confront him, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle.
She had no choice but to take a step back. "Fine, I won't go. Why are you so angry? I'm really worried. It's such a big thing happening at home, isn't it right for me to ask about it?"
Peng Dajun didn't know if she had really given up or was just stalling for time. In any case, he couldn't push her too hard, so he had to relent and said, "Eat, and stop causing trouble for me all day. I still want to make further progress in the unit, and there must be no problems with your family."
Mao Ling didn't say anything. She took the bowl full of noodles and planned to go back to Bajiao Hutong to discuss it with her mother. She always felt that something was wrong with Peng Dajun.
After Peng Dajun went to work in the afternoon, she rode her bike to Kong Badou's house to check on him. At least she wanted to confirm how serious Kong Badou's injury was.
If he was bluffing, she would definitely not agree to pay 600 yuan in compensation. She would at least get half of it back. If he was really seriously injured, she would just accept it.
Kong Badou anticipated her coming, so he took sick leave from work and was lying in bed pretending to be dead.
As for Maodan and his sisters, they were playing in the yard of the family compound.
Maodan was on summer vacation. He was the eldest child on his father's side of the family, so it was easy for him to bully his younger sisters. That's why when Mao Ling arrived at the gate of the family compound, she heard the crying of several little girls.
Wang Dengdi was doing needlework in the house. When she heard the noise, she quickly dropped what she was doing and went to the yard to take a look. She saw Maodan found some ropes from somewhere and tied up all three sisters, and made them stand in a neat row.
Of these three children, two were her biological children, and one was adopted by Kong Badou, who said that if he adopted this child, he could bring a younger brother. However, he did not bring a younger brother, but instead brought a trouble-making older brother.
This really makes Wang and his brother angry to death.
She rushed forward, grabbed Maodan, and demanded, "What do you want to do? Are you a human trafficker? Why are you tying up all these girls? Are you sick?"
Maodan immediately became furious and pushed Wang Dengdi away, shouting, "Are you kidding me? I'm helping you take care of the kids, and you're still not satisfied! I tied them up because they were running around! Dani almost ran out the door just now. Are you happy that she got hit by a car?"
Wang Dengdi didn't believe his nonsense. She turned around and looked at Zhao Tieniu beside her. This was the child of Kong Badou's colleague. Although he usually hung out with Maodan, Wang Dengdi treated him very well. When she cooked edamame and fried peanuts at home, she would send some to the Zhao family.
Wang Dengdi asked, "Tie Niu, tell Auntie, is this really the case?"
Zhao Tieniu didn't dare to tell the truth. His parents had warned him that Uncle Kong valued this son very much and was particularly protective of him. If he said anything that caused a quarrel between Maodan and Aunt Wang, his parents would beat him.
He could only echo Maodan's lies: "Yes, Aunt Wang, the sisters are too young. They don't know anything and just run around the yard. Maodan is doing this for their own good!"
Wang Dengdi stopped talking. She could tell that Tie Niu was lying. Whenever this guy had something to hide, he would pinch his nose all the time.
Wang Dengdi looked away and at the other children. These children were used to being bullied by Maodan, so they had to curry favor with him. Maodan ate a lot and grew tall and strong. He also didn't study hard and was held back. When his peers didn't want to play with him, he would go to his classmates. He was a year or two older than these children, so with his height advantage, he could really fight three of them at once.
So none of these kids dared to tell the truth.
But Wang Dengdi had eyes and she immediately saw the Mao Zedong banknotes that the children hurriedly hid.
There were cigarette cards lying on the ground in front of her three daughters.
She knew that these little bastards were playing with cigarette cards. The way to play was to spread the cigarette cards on the ground, and the children would lie on the ground with their palms facing down, and pat the ground next to the cigarette cards, blowing the cards over through the air.
Those who succeed can win "chips", and the "chips" are her daughters. I guess you can exchange a few of them for a bill?
No wonder the children were forced together and neatly arranged like commodities.
She couldn't help but be furious. She grabbed Maodan's ear and demanded, "You think I'm going to believe your lies? Huh? Did you steal money to play with cigarette cards again? You're so good! You used to gamble with fruit candy, and now you're using my daughter as a raft! You little beast, I'll teach you a lesson!"
Maodan didn't expect that his lie would be exposed. He didn't know how his stepmother saw through it. He only knew that he was going to be beaten again!
And he definitely couldn't beat an adult.
I could only scream at the top of my lungs and call for help.
So Mao Ling, who was hiding outside the yard and eavesdropping, immediately heard screams like a pig being slaughtered.
She instinctively wanted to rush in to protect Maodan, but when she thought of the purpose of her visit, she retracted her leg.
Wait and see if Kong Badou will come down.
If he was really seriously injured, he definitely wouldn't have the strength to protect Maodan. What if he was just pretending...
Okay, just think of it as your son helping her to suffer. Good son, please bear with me.
Mao Ling suppressed her heartache and waited patiently at the door.
Sure enough, within a minute, Kong Badou rushed out. He looked so full of energy, how could he look like someone who was seriously injured?
He was just pretending! Pretending!
Mao Ling was so angry that she turned around and went to find the police. But it was no use. When the police arrived, Kong Badou pretended to faint.
Mao Ling was so angry that she could only swallow this loss in silence.
Fortunately, Wang Dengdi was obviously beaten by Kong Badou and the corner of his mouth was broken.
Mao Ling suppressed her anger and called Mao Dan out, and taught the mother and son a plan to work together inside and outside to expose Kong Badou's lies.
But Maodan agreed verbally, but betrayed Maoling as soon as he returned to his father's presence.
Kong Badou sneered at Wang Dengdi and said, "Listen, listen! Our son is still on our side! If you really want to lose these 600 yuan, then you can beat him every day. Tomorrow I will return the money directly to Mao Ling!"
Wang Dengdi was so angry that her breasts became swollen and painful. She had no choice but to rush to the hospital and get some Chinese medicine prescriptions to regulate her body.
On the way back, Wang Dengdi felt more and more aggrieved. If he had known earlier, he would not have taken the 600 yuan. He should have sent that vicious woman Mao Ling to jail!
She stopped at the intersection, feeling very confused and at a loss.
I had to calm down and figure out who around me could help me.
Just as she was worrying, Peng Dajun passed by after get off work, saw her, and greeted her politely.
Wang Dengdi couldn't help but think of the day in Bajiao Hutong when Peng Dajun deliberately instigated Mao Ling to take action, and he immediately came up with an idea.
