Chapter 57 Abandoning Wife and Children

This Zhao Meihua is also funny.

A lot of things happened in her family not long ago. It was the town police and village officials who stepped in together and finally mediated the issues in her family.

Not only does she not learn her lesson, she also goes out and causes trouble everywhere.

It's disgusting.

When Jiang Mingyue and the others came over, they happened to see Zhao Meihua walking with her tail tucked between her legs. She glanced at Zhao Meihua's back and didn't take her seriously.

"Comrade Gu."

Someone stopped Gu Dongqing and said they had something to tell him.

Jiang Mingyue took a look at the other person and found that it was Zhao Tiezhu, a villager who was a few years older than her.

According to her generation, she is called Brother Zhao Tiezhu.

So when she saw him, she smiled and greeted him, "Brother Tiezhu."

A fire suddenly ignited on Zhao Tiezhu's dark face, and he didn't dare to meet Jiang Mingyue's curved brows.

Turn your eyes away immediately.

"Ming Ming Yue..."

She raised her eyes and wanted to secretly look at Jiang Mingyue again, but Gu Dongqing blocked her way and put his hand on Zhao Tiezhu's shoulder.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"

His voice brought Zhao Tiezhu back to his senses. Zhao Tiezhu quickly remembered that he had called Gu Dongqing for something important.

"Um, Boss Gu, I have something to say to you."

While Zhao Tiezhu was speaking, he signaled to Gu Dongqing with his eyes that it was not convenient to say this in front of Jiang Mingyue and the others.

Gu Dongqing understood.

He looked at the car not far away and said, "Wait for me, I'll go open the door."

"good."

Gu Dongqing walked over, opened the car door, and let grandpa, grandma, and Man Yue sit in the back seat.

Jiang Mingyue sat in the passenger seat.

"I'll go over there for a moment."

Gu Dongqing explained to her softly, and out of sight from the back seat, he reached out and pinched her cheek.

This frivolous action earned her a cold eye from Jiang Mingyue.

"You"

"Are you going soon?"

She complained quietly.

Gu Dongqing laughed heartily, rubbed her hands again, and then left to find Zhao Tiezhu.

When he arrived in front of Zhao Tiezhu, the smile on Gu Dongqing's face disappeared. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the embarrassed man in front of him.

"What do you want?"

"That's right."

Zhao Tiezhu looked at the off-road vehicle not far away, and whispered how Zhao Meihua had stigmatized Jiang Mingyue in the village.

Gu Dongqing frowned.

Before he could say anything, Zhao Tiezhu said, "Mingyue had a very hard life in the past..."

What he meant was that he didn't want Jiang Mingyue to live such a hard life even after getting married.

Gu Dongqing raised his eyes and his gaze fell on Zhao Tiezhu. His eyes were narrow and deep, and his eyes were dark.

He glanced at Zhao Tiezhu, and caught a glimpse of Jiang Mingyue in the car, who was smiling gently and had no idea what they were talking about. His expression also softened.

"Thank you."

Gu Dongqing was not unable to understand the hidden emotions in Zhao Tiezhu's eyes.

He also understood that since his wife was so nice, there must be many people who liked her.

If he had not been shameless enough and had not given up, his wife would probably have become someone else's wife.

Gu Dongqing inadvertently recalled the past and felt only thankful.

Jiang Mingyue and her four grandparents and grandchildren hadn't said a few words when Gu Dongqing came back.

His expression was normal, with no discernible change in emotion, so Jiang Mingyue couldn't guess from his face what Zhao Tiezhu had said to him.

When Gu Dongqing started the car, she asked in a low voice, "Brother Tiezhu, do you have something to ask?"

"It's OK"

The man started the car and slowly drove down the road. "He said the flies were too annoying and asked me to find some fly-killing medicine."

"Flies?"

Jiang Mingyue repeated Gu Dongqing's words.

Jiang Manyue in the back row had a suspicious look on her face, her small face full of seriousness, "Where are the flies? The weather is cold and there are still flies, it must be Brother Tiezhu who is unhygienic."

When Man Yue said this, everyone in the car laughed.

These are Xiao Manyue's words, not Zhao Tiezhu's joke.

Jiang Mingyue also stopped her sister and told her not to talk nonsense. "Manyue, you can't say that about Brother Tiezhu."

"Their family is in a special situation, we can't say anything irresponsible."

In the past few years, everyone was poor, and Zhao Tiezhu's family was even poorer. Not only was they poor, their situation was also very special.

His mother is from the village, and his father was an educated youth who came to their village to work in the countryside in 1962.

He married Zhao Xiuyun in 1963, and Zhao Tiezhu was born at the end of the same year.

In 1977, the college entrance examination was resumed. His father was admitted to university and left the village and returned to the city.

I heard from the villagers that when the educated youth returned, he repeatedly promised Zhao Xiuyun that he would come to pick them up after he had settled down.

Zhao Xiuyun agreed without thinking too much.

Although everyone in the village said that the educated youth had left for the city and would never come back to the village, Zhao Xiuyun insisted on believing them.

She stayed in the village, working while waiting for her husband to come back.

At first they kept in touch, and she occasionally received letters from the city.

Every time I received a letter, besides casual words of concern, I often received endless complaints of various kinds.

He said that life in the city was not easy and the various difficulties he faced, and asked Zhao Xiuyun to wait a little longer.

Just wait a little longer, he will definitely come back to pick them up...

In the first year, the letter was just to wait, and wait some more.

Everyone else said that the educated youth had other thoughts, but Zhao Xiuyun still mailed him things every now and then.

Every item they sent was accepted, but they never said when they would be picked up to go to the city.

In 1979, Zhao Xiuyun's parents were trapped in a mine in an accident while working. When they were finally rescued, they were already stinking.

For the first time, Zhao Xiuyun called the phone number her husband left, hoping to ask him to come back and help with the funeral arrangements.

But the answer she got was that there was no such person on their side and she said she had dialed the wrong number.

With the help of her clansmen and villagers, Zhao Xiuyun handled her parents' funeral and took Zhao Tiezhu to the city to look for someone.

The result was naturally nothing.

Not only did they not find the person, it is said that Zhao Xiuyun was also scolded by someone. She was originally a gentle person, but she endured the discomfort and returned to the village with Zhao Tiezhu. She fell ill as soon as she got home.

Zhao Tiezhu, who was only 16 years old, dropped out of junior high school and took on the burden of the family on his shoulders.

His original surname was Hu, but he changed it to Zhao.

From then on, he had nothing to do with anyone named Hu.

In 1980, Zhao Xiuyun fell and became paralyzed in bed, and died in 1983.

In the past few years, every time I passed by Zhao Tiezhu's yard, I would indeed see some flies.

That's because Zhao Tiezhu was buried underground and there was no one to help him take care of his mother, so the hygiene conditions must not be very good.

Now Zhao Tiezhu is the only one left in the Zhao family, so the health situation is definitely beyond reproach.

After recalling this incident, their car left the village.

According to Jiang Mingyue's idea, that Hu Zhiqing might have had another woman in the city a long time ago...

Jiang Mingyue looked at Gu Dongqing who was driving seriously and was about to ask him a question, but after thinking about it, she held back.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"
