Seeing the two heads shaking vigorously without any suspense, Yan Xinan sighed inwardly. Duoduo had missed Minghua many times and didn't want to think about her own mother. What a tragedy.
When Tang Jianjun saw Southwest come in carrying large and small bags, he already understood what Southwest was thinking. He sighed inwardly, it seemed that Tang Xiaoling's wish was going to be in vain this time.
Let's get a divorce then. Southwest is a college student now and the factory manager of a furniture factory in Beijing. Tang Xiaoling really isn't good enough for him.
If Xiaoling were like Xuemei—well-behaved, dutiful to her in-laws, loving to her children, and knowing when to advance and retreat—she would never have gotten divorced, given Southwest's personality. It's such a pity.
I neatly organized everything, and well, all the food, drinks, and other necessities I needed for the New Year were basically in place.
Southwest took out another two hundred yuan and handed it to Tang Jianjun: "Master, this is for you. Buy whatever you like, don't skimp on yourself."
Tang Jianjun was deeply moved. No matter how much he gave Tang Xiaoling, she would accept it without any pressure. Only Southwest would think of showing filial piety to him.
Tang Xiaojun was even better; he sent a letter informing them that he was already married and that if their parents were willing, they could go to the military region to find him, but if not, they could do as they pleased.
At this moment, Tang Jianjun had made up his mind. He didn't want his son and daughter anymore. He would take his wife and follow the Southwest. Even if they ate coarse food, they would live a comfortable life.
When Bei Nan learned that Tang Xiaoling had already boarded the train, her eyes flickered, and she asked Xinan seriously, "Xinan, are you sure you want a divorce and won't regret it?"
Southwest nodded. If they didn't get a divorce, Nan Nan's furniture factory would likely be constantly troubled by her. After all, Uncle Village Chief had called him many times, all because of Tang Xiaoling.
Since the logging team was established in Mushroom Village, Tang Xiaoling has often acted as if she were the factory director's wife, demanding that the Qinglin team provide her with firewood, and she has been arrogant and domineering in the logging team.
At first, no one took her seriously. She was a woman, and besides, she was a daughter-in-law from the Southwest, so they had to give her some face.
But Tang Xiaoling went too far, partly because she had no land or children, and her life was too leisurely. She often went to the logging team to give orders.
When Village Chief Ma said a few words to her, she glared at him and said, "It's my husband who set up the logging team. What business is it of yours, Village Chief?"
The old bachelor said a few words to her, then curled his lip and said, "Without my man, would you be the captain of the forest patrol team?"
The logging team leader was a retired soldier with a bad temper. Unlike the old bachelor and the village chief, he didn't mince words and directly used a wooden stick to drive her out of the logging camp, threatening to beat her every time she came.
Southwest was furious when he received the call. He told Tang Xiaoling to answer it and yelled at her on the phone, but Tang Xiaoling just sneered and slammed the phone down.
Southwest immediately understood that Tang Xiaoling was deliberately picking a fight with this attitude. If Southwest couldn't take it anymore, she would agree to let her go to the capital, and then her goal would be achieved.
But would Southwest agree? Of course not, but he couldn't find a solution, so he went to Yan Xiaonan, explained the situation, and felt extremely guilty.
Yan Xiaonan sighed. Her second brother was too honest, letting a rural woman hold him hostage and not knowing how to fight back. She returned to the living room, picked up the phone, and it was Village Chief Ma who answered.
Yan Xiaonan instructed the village chief to install two large doors at the entrance of the dormitory building, and to close them whenever people came in or out. He also posted a notice that the logging team was strictly prohibited from disturbing them while they were logging, otherwise they would be handed over to the police station as troublemakers.
Tang Xiaoling was illiterate, so Aunt Ma kindly read the contents of the notice to her. Tang Xiaoling was so angry that she almost bit her gums to pieces. Tang's mother sat at the door of her house and sighed silently.
Yes, Tang's mother has already moved back to her old house. They're getting a divorce anyway, so why would she stay at someone else's house? Besides, the villagers are incredibly polite to the Yan family now, so who would be so blind as to bully her?
Bei Nan laughed. Some people you can't reason with. If they don't want to live a good life and don't know what's good for them, then you might as well play dirty tricks.
If Southwest didn't agree, how could the scheme be set up? So, Tang Xiaoling assumed that Southwest couldn't withstand her antics and arrogantly asked Village Chief Ma to issue a letter of introduction.
Watching Tang Xiaoling's departing figure, Village Chief Ma couldn't understand how she had become like this. Sister-in-law Ma laughed, saying that when a woman cares too much about a man, her IQ drops to zero.
Village Chief Ma scoffed, "That's a stupid woman. Smart women know their limits, like my wife. She's fierce when she needs to be, and gentle when she needs to be."
Mrs. Ma glanced at her husband sideways. Ever since the village started its economic development, this man had become glib and smooth-talking.
The train chugged along, and Mrs. Tang's heart grew heavier and heavier. She had a feeling that the Southwest's relenting was not a good thing, but she was too inexperienced to guess what it was.
Bei Nan had already quietly taken action, taking out a stack of money and handing it to the Hong Kong man who had hired the hairdresser, explaining his requirements.
The Hong Kong Island resident shook his head seriously: "I'm a decent person, I wouldn't do such a despicable thing."
"All expenses are mine; I'll give you ten thousand afterwards."
"No, no, I don't like country people, they're too unsophisticated."
"Twenty thousand"
"Too old, over twenty years old."
"Thirty thousand"
"I'll stop here. I've already had two children, I can't bring myself to do it."
The voice of "Siwan" from the north and south had already turned somewhat cold.
"Fifty thousand, give me fifty thousand. Once I've settled this, the teaching will be finished, and I can start playing skis."
"Deal. Here's 20,000. 10,000 for deposit, 10,000 for expenses." Bei Nan tossed the money over.
At the same time, Yan Aidang's best friend approached him: "I'll give you a side job. You'll get a thousand yuan after it's done. Want to do it?"
"What kind of side jobs? I won't do murder or arson."
"Take a few hot photos, develop them, and you're done."
"That's easy, let's do it, and let me know when it's done."
"Hmm, probably two or three months, after the New Year."
"Okay, I'll go prepare more film and give you the negatives together."
The winter sun shines on you without making you feel warm at all. As soon as the wind blows, even a small gust will make you shrink your neck and shiver all over.
Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chen'er finally finished their third-year exams. After the New Year, they will apply for internships at the university and won't need to come back to school anymore.
The two exchanged a relieved smile, finally able to focus wholeheartedly on their careers.
With her big belly, Ye Chen'er took out her unfinished design from before. Her child was about to be born, but Nan Nan's eight-courtyard house was still in the retro style, which was too slow.
