To be precise, after the divorce, we're just neighbors living in the same house, business partners, nothing more.
Divorce is like a mountain separating people. Legally, they are both single and have the right to find a partner and get married. No one can interfere with who one of them dates or marries.
After a divorce, it's like a pigeon being released; whoever wants to fly away can fly away. Unless their hearts are still together, their marriage has truly come to an end.
The most terrifying thing is that a third party will invade in the future. Both unmarried men and women have the right to be pursued by others, and neither party can interfere with the other. Unless the two people have a firm belief, it will be a different ending and a different world.
After breakfast, Dong Sanmei left for work. Li Yuzhu said, "Wait for me on the tractor to avoid gossip. Try not to go in and out with me in the future. I'll change my clothes and then come down."
Divorce is divorce. It's not good to continue the same way you used to, being inseparable and infatuated. Everything should be done in moderation. Blindly touching on things will only make you a laughing stock.
Dong Qing watched Li Yuzhu's figure disappear through the bedroom door, shook his head helplessly, and turned to walk downstairs.
Li Yuzhu went into the bedroom to change her clothes, walked to the living room, picked up her handbag, slung it over her shoulder, locked the door, and went downstairs.
She walked to the tractor and got on. Dongqing said, "Let's go to the pig farm first, and get ten people there to load the truck."
“Don’t go. We have to load and dispatch goods tomorrow, there’s not much time. Go to the machine factory, have your brother-in-law drive a truck, and you drive a truck too. You two bring back lime, stone powder, and cement today. Su Wei and I will haul bricks all day, and tonight we’ll go to Shahe to haul four truckloads of river sand.” Li Yuzhu paused for a moment and said, “How about this, don’t go to the pig farm to get people, you two just drive to the brick factory. I’ll bring the people there, and you can haul two truckloads of bricks back first.”
Dongqing said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Li Yuzhu shook her head helplessly and said nothing. Dong Qing pushed open the car door and got out of the car.
Li Yuzhu sat at the steering wheel, glanced at Dong Qing outside the vehicle, started the tractor, and drove towards the pig farm in her hometown.
Li Yuzhu drove to the pig farm, where the pigsties and warehouses had already been built, and the ground in the yard was being paved.
Li Yuzhu walked up to Dong Daming and said, "Uncle, can the work here be finished today?"
Everyone in Dongcun knew about Dong Qing's divorce, and Dong Daming was no exception. Even after the divorce, Li Yuzhu was still the boss here, so it wasn't surprising that she was here to guide the work. He said, "The only work left is paving the yard; we can finish that today."
Li Yuzhu said, "The construction of houses in the city will have to wait. Tomorrow, I'll take some people to Sucun to build a few factories. You should meet with Dongqing in Sucun at noon today to get a budget for how much material they'll need!"
Dong Daming said, "Okay, I'll definitely be there at noon."
Li Yuzhu took the opportunity to visit the pig farm. All the newly built pig pens were already in use, and the 2,600 piglets she had bought had been separated into different pens.
The pigpen was thoroughly cleaned with water, and the pigstykeeper was feeding the pigs a mixed feed consisting of fresh tofu residue, soybean cake, wheat bran, and corn.
Mix the feed with fresh tofu residue. The tofu residue itself is wet. Add a small amount of water and the resulting feed will be loose. It will clump together when you grab it in your hand, but will fall apart when you throw it on the ground. The piglets will eat the feed and then drink the water.
Dongtao ordered all thirty male workers to get on tractors and go to the brick factory to load bricks.
Li Yuzhu looked around the pig farm, then walked to the tractor, got on, started the tractor, and drove out of the pig farm.
She drove to the brick factory, where Dongqing and her brother-in-law had already arrived in two trucks.
Li Yuzhu got out of the car and said, "Dongqing, arrange for someone to load the truck first, and then you can go back."
After making the arrangements, Li Yuzhu asked the brick factory to find her a bicycle, which she then rode to Su Village.
As Dong Qing watched his ex-wife ride away on her bicycle, he felt a mix of emotions. Such a capable woman had divorced him just like that. At that moment, he felt mostly lost and helpless.
Dongqing arranged for 30 people to load three vehicles simultaneously, with 10 people loading one vehicle.
Li Yuzhu rode her bicycle to Su Village and got off at Su Wei's house.
She parked her bicycle in front of the tractor, turned and walked into the yard. Su Wei was unusually free today, sitting in the yard chatting with her mother. She saw Li Yuzhu stand up and say, "Sister-in-law is here."
Su Wei usually calls her sister-in-law, which is perfectly normal for her.
It's understandable that Su Wei didn't know that Li Yuzhu and Dong Qing had only divorced a few days ago. She said, "Don't call me sister-in-law anymore. I divorced Dong Qing a few days ago. Just call me 'sister' from now on."
Su Wei was shocked and couldn't believe her ears. She asked, "I must have misheard. How could you two suddenly get a divorce? Won't your business disappear after the divorce?"
Li Yuzhu said, "You heard me right, we are indeed divorced. The divorce simply means the marital relationship is over; our assets haven't been divided. We'll continue doing things the same way we always have. Go back inside and change your clothes; you're coming with me to the brick factory to haul bricks today."
Su Wei was puzzled after hearing this. What kind of divorce is it if the property is not divided? She felt like she was really out of touch with the times.
No matter what she was thinking, she didn't ask any further questions. Whether or not the property was divided after the divorce was their own business. She was just an employee, and as long as she could make money, that was enough. She said "okay" and went inside.
Su Wei went back inside to change her clothes and shoes, then turned and walked into the yard.
Li Yuzhu bid farewell to Su's mother and walked towards the gate with Su Wei.
Su Wei climbed onto the tractor trailer, Li Yuzhu handed her the bicycle and put it in the trailer, then got off the trailer, the two of them got on the tractor, started the tractor and drove towards the brick factory.
They drove to the brick factory, and the thirty people loaded the trucks quickly, filling both trucks and the tractor to capacity.
Dongqing said, "We'll each take five people, leaving twenty for you. I'll go back and fetch lime from the mountain, and my brother-in-law will go to the cement factory to get cement."
Li Yuzhu said, "That works too. There are people at home who can unload the truck. When you get back, have them help you unload it."
Dong Qing said it was fine, and twenty people got on the truck and went back. He and his brother-in-law got on the truck at the same time, started the two trucks, and drove out of the brick factory.
Li Yuzhu told Su Wei to drive behind the truck back, saying, "After the ten people finish unloading, they can stay home. I'll go back and unload these two trucks later."
Su Wei said okay, started the tractor, and drove home.
After Su Wei drove away, the ten people continued loading another tractor.
After the truck was full, Li Yuzhu left ten people at the brick factory to load the truck, and she started the tractor and drove towards Su Village.
Li Yuzhu drove back to Su Village and parked the tractor in the wheat field.
The wheat had just sprouted and the ears of wheat were destroyed like this, which is a great pity. Only ten acres of wheat fields were destroyed along the highway, and many farmers were cutting wheat in the fields to feed their cattle and sheep.
Two tractors can only carry a maximum of six loads of bricks in half a day. The two tractors returned to Su Village at noon and had just finished unloading when Dongqing and his brother-in-law's truck also returned, and they arranged for people to continue unloading.
