Chapter 7: The Fire Pit: One abandoned his sick wife, the other was violent...
The next morning, Wang Fang borrowed a bicycle from her neighbor and rushed to the commune guesthouse.
Zhu Ben and the others were already preparing to leave, and were quite surprised to see her coming.
Liu Yue smiled and asked, "Fangfang, what's the hurry? Look at you sweating so much, are you reluctant to leave the child behind?"
"Sister-in-law, you guys should think of another way to find someone who is first married. That damn girl Lao Wu refuses to marry someone who is second married." Wang Fang was panting and hadn't even had breakfast.
Liu Yue handed her a box of cookies. "First marriage? That's hard to find. Few people in the city are willing to marry someone lower than them. How about this? When other girls get married, let the fifth child go to see them off. By then, there will surely be young men among the relatives and friends. If they see her in person and are attracted to her, it will be easier to talk her out."
Wang Fang thought this was a good idea and agreed: "Sister-in-law, thank you for your concern. Brother, the child is naughty, please bear with him. I'm going back now."
Zhu Ben smiled and nodded. After Wang Fang left, he couldn't help but sigh, "Wife, why did you agree so easily? It's not that easy. People in the city have high standards when it comes to marriage. Few people only care about looks."
"A few doesn't mean there are none." Liu Yue had no choice but to delay and delay the bus.
Zhu Ben thought about it and it made sense, so he called his son and went back.
When we arrived at the staff compound of the Power Supply Bureau, it was lunch time. A group of people gathered around us, all curious about who the young man Zhu Ben brought back was.
When I heard that he was his adopted son, I couldn't help but worry about him: "Old Zhu, it's been hard to find a job recently. You can't support a rich idler, right?"
Zhu Ben smiled and said, "Don't worry, take your time to find one. Liu Yue and I are a dual-income family, so we don't need a bite of rice to eat."
Having said that, his colleagues still thought he was too optimistic and sighed.
However, a colleague asked, "Your son is quite handsome. Is he dating?"
"Not yet, Old Qin." Zhu Ben smiled. "Do you want to introduce someone to my son?"
"If you are willing to make some sacrifices, I know someone with good conditions, but the woman has a little flaw." Qin Sanshan meant well.
After all, for an unemployed country kid, finding a partner in the city is already marrying up.
What's more, the girl's parents are both respectable people.
Zhu Ben was unhappy, but he didn't want to offend anyone, so he smiled and asked, "Who is it? Tell me."
"She's my cousin's second daughter. She stutters a bit when she speaks and is a bit old." Qin Sanshan looked at the young man carefully. He was indeed handsome and okay.
His cousin is an officer, so it is not difficult to arrange a job for him.
Zhu Ben politely asked about his age. When he heard that he was 27, he immediately pretended to be sick: "Ouch, my stomach is cramping. Lao Qin, let's talk later. I need to go to the bathroom."
Qin Sanshan smiled and said nothing.
We are all thousand-year-old foxes, why are we pretending?
But it doesn’t matter, he told Liu Yue.
Liu Yue was a little tempted, but her cousin was in the Northeast, too far away, and he was unwilling to let his daughter marry far away. After all, she had a physical defect and was afraid that her son-in-law would bully her.
Liu Yue was a little conflicted, but she didn't say anything definite. After all, they had previously wanted to adopt a daughter, and their friend's family just happened to have a son of the right age.
She could introduce her friend's son to the girl so as not to offend anyone.
So she asked, "Do you have a photo, Lao Qin? You have to let us know what the girl looks like."
"Oh, that's not the case. I'll ask my brother to send one over, and you guys can prepare one for me and I'll send it over." Qin Sanshan was quite happy to act as a matchmaker. After all, this kid was really good-looking and big in build.
Liu Yue agreed immediately and took her adopted son to take photos in the afternoon.
After Qin Sanshan left, Yao Genbao grumbled unhappily, "Mom, it's not good to stutter. What are the conditions of his cousin's family? You agreed to it right away."
"From the Northeast Construction Corps." That was all Liu Yue said.
When Yao Genbao heard this, he thought, "Wow, that's really good."
Unfortunately, it's too far.
Forget it, let’s just take a look first.
In the afternoon, he urged Liu Yue to take him to take photos.
He would definitely be attracted to the idea of being the son-in-law of an officer. It depends on how pretty the girl is. Maybe he can compromise.

Yao Taotao typed a letter of introduction and booked a car for the next day.
She handed the ticket to Yao Zhizhi: "Old Five, don't say anything. Just say you're going to help a classmate tomorrow."
Yao Zhizhi didn't bother to make excuses and jokingly said, "These two Zhou Paopi will definitely not be happy."
"It's okay. I saved some pocket money and will say it's the wages from my classmate's family." Yao Taotao naturally knew what kind of people his parents were.
Yao Zhizhi felt relieved, thinking that her second sister was quite smart.
The next day, the two of them set off early in the morning, bringing some water with them and leaving food for later.
Two hours later, I got off at the bus station in the city and changed to another bus.
Fifteen stops is not very far. The two sisters sat together, staring at the streets on both sides, looking around curiously.
An auntie in a police uniform came up on the way. She looked to be about 40 years old and was in high spirits.
The policewoman was about 1.7 meters tall, looked heroic and had a strong physique. She was escorting a thief who was cursing and asking him to behave himself.
The thief was handcuffed and couldn't break free, so he kept cursing all the way.
The policewoman was not angry. She just smiled and got out of the car under the gaze of everyone.
Yao Zhizhi saw that this aunt had a good mental state, and subconsciously followed her back to take a closer look.
It turns out he is from Nancheng Police Station. Look at the way he walks. Wow, he is so brisk and heroic.
Yao Zhizhi admired this kind of strong and capable woman. She touched Yao Taotao with her left arm and said, "Look, second sister, what a powerful auntie! Even men are not as strong as her."
Yao Taotao smiled and said, "I saw her last year when I came to my uncle's house to deliver mooncakes. I think her last name is Tang. She has been a widow for many years. She also has a son who is very handsome, but unfortunately he is a sickly child and will not live long."
Yao Zhizhi didn't pay much attention to it. She got off the bus two stops ahead and pretended to look for a job at the non-staple food factory.
The gatekeeper was kind enough to help, but when he heard they were from the countryside, he immediately shook his head and said, "Go back, my girl. We can't even arrange for people in the city, let alone those in the countryside."
"But uncle, my family has too many children and we are poor. If we can't find a job, my parents will want to marry us sisters off to any man. Uncle, please have pity on us and see if there is anyone in a hurry to get married. Can you help introduce one to them?" Yao Taotao was smart and bought a pack of cigarettes after getting off the bus at the bus station.
After handing them one, the old man didn't mock them. He took a closer look and couldn't help but exclaim: "You two are quite good-looking. But don't count on a man who's married for the first time. I can introduce someone who's married for the second time."
When Yao Taotao heard there was a chance, she subconsciously shook Yao Zhizhi's hand and asked, "Uncle, who are you talking about? Is he willing to find a girl from the countryside?"
The old man then introduced their factory director in this way.
The praise was so exaggerated.
When Yao Zhizhi asked about the reason for the divorce, the old man began to hesitate.
Yao Taotao quickly stuffed two dollars and a cigarette over.
Only then did the old man reveal the truth.
Sure enough, my uncle had hidden some information.
Director Cao divorced his wife not because she was unfilial, but because she was sick.
incurable disease.
Yao Taotao used various tricks to get the girl's address, and then took Yao Zhizhi away.
"I knew my uncle had bad intentions." Yao Taotao was furious. "If my elder sister marries a heartless and ungrateful man like him, she's bound to suffer."
Yao Zhizhi remained silent.
Yao Taotao stopped and looked back at her: "Why don't you speak?"
"Go see his ex-wife? What if this is also one-sided?" Since Yao Zhizhi wanted to persuade her elder sister to change her mind, she must verify the information.
Abandoning a sick wife is truly heartless and callous, and precisely because of this, it is even more important to clarify things.
Yao Taotao nodded: "Let's go to the hospital."
You can use the excuse of visiting relatives and pretend to go to the wrong ward.
When they arrived at the place, they found out that the woman named He Meiqi was in the gynecology ward, so they went looking for her.
I knocked on the door and a weak voice came from the ward saying, "Come in."
The two sisters followed the plan, made up a name called Liu Erya, and asked the patients inside if there was such a patient.
He Meiqi shook her head: "You've got the wrong person, I'm the only one here."
Yao Taotao and Yao Zhizhi looked at each other, one stayed to continue chatting, while the other pretended to go to another ward to look for someone.
When Yao Zhizhi came back, Yao Taotao was sitting beside He Meiqi's bed, wiping her tears.
Yao Zhizhi didn't urge her. She waited until He Meiqi calmed down before saying, "Sister, Second Aunt is in the ward downstairs. I found the wrong one."
Yao Taotao stood up and said, "Sister, we are leaving now. Please take care of yourself."
He Meiqi smiled weakly. Although they met by chance, the kindness shown by this strange girl made her feel warm in her heart.
The two sisters walked downstairs together. Yao Taotao looked solemn. "The security guard didn't lie. Director Cao didn't want to be branded a widower, so he forced her to divorce."
Yao Zhizhi was quite disappointed, but when she thought about the kind of people Yao Erdan and Wang Fang were, she was no longer surprised by Wang Aiming's character.
If they weren't in cahoots, could they have plotted in the kitchen for so long?
It's so shameless.
The two of them went around the government compound and found out Director Hu's information.
I walked towards the bus stop with a heavy heart.
"Director Hu has such a bad temper. Who can guarantee that his wife wasn't beaten to death by him?" Yao Taotao began to worry now.
She originally thought that if a man was not a good match and her parents insisted on forcing their daughter to get married, she could take over to prevent her sisters from suffering.
But in this situation, she is really worried, and she can't split herself in half.
Yao Zhizhi knew that she had a spirit of sacrifice, but it was better for her not to jump into these two fire pits.
"Go back and persuade elder sister first, I'll think of other solutions." As Yao Zhizhi was speaking, the car arrived.
The car stopped after two stops and I saw the policewoman again, carefully helping a young man get on the car.
The man was tall and slender, with a pale face. His handsome features were stained with illness, making him look particularly haggard and weak.
The seats were full, so Yao Zhizhi quickly stood up and said, "Auntie, let him sit here with me."
