Chapter 2 I Don't Know Her
The weather was cool in the morning and Jiang Haitang was wearing thin clothes. She quickened her pace and gradually warmed up.
When I walked to the town, I just caught the bus to the county seat.
After swaying in and out of the bus and changing buses, when the setting sun cast golden rays of light, Jiang Haitang found the unit where Li Ergou worked - the municipal textile factory.
Li Ergou served in the army and was demobilized. He is now the workshop director of the city textile factory.
Later, he became a factory director and was transferred to the provincial government, where he enjoyed great success.
Standing at the gate of the textile factory, looking at the tall factory buildings that were out of place for a country girl like her, Jiang Haitang was not afraid.
She came here to cause trouble. If she didn't beat the scumbag Li Ergou to death, even if she could leave the Li family, her reputation would be ruined.
It is better to destroy others than to destroy yourself.
Of course, it would be even better if you could fight for compensation.
Jiang Haitang strode towards the factory gate with his head held high.
As soon as I reached the door, I was stopped by the gatekeeper.
"Stop, stop... girl, why are you barging in like that?"
The old man stopped Jiang Haitang and looked her up and down, fearing that she was a bad element.
It was no surprise that Jiang Haitang was stopped. Her clothes were out of place with the other female workers in the factory, and it was obvious that she was from outside.
"Uncle, I came from the countryside to find my man." Jiang Haitang greeted the old man with a sweet smile.
"Your man?" The old man looked up and down at the dark-skinned man with a bright smile in front of him.
"My man, Li Shengli!" Jiang Haitang said crisply.
The pipe in the old man's hand fell to the ground with a puff.
"Girl, who are you talking about?" The old man scratched his ears.
"Uncle, my man is Li Shengli. We got married a few years ago. I am in the countryside serving my mother-in-law and taking care of my brother-in-law and sister-in-law."
Jiang Haitang smiled brightly, revealing her neat and beautiful teeth, which made her very pleasing.
The old man looked at Jiang Haitang for a long time before asking, "You said Li Shengli is your man?"
"Yes, sir. We had a banquet. That's what people in the countryside recognize."
Nowadays, many people believe that having a wedding banquet is the same as getting married, and getting a marriage certificate is not important.
The expression on the old man's face was subtle.
After a while, the old man sighed and muttered, "What a sin!"
"Girl, I'll call someone to take you in! But no matter what you see, stay calm!"
The old man gave some instructions and called a boy of seven or eight years old who was playing nearby, asking him to take Jiang Haitang to find someone.
Jiang Haitang thanked the old man sincerely and politely left him a boiled egg before entering the factory gate.
The old man held the egg in his hand, sighed twice, and then went back to the message room.
The boy's name was Kong Shunan. He was very talkative, especially after Jiang Haitang gave him an egg, he explained everything very enthusiastically.
When Jiang Haitang heard Kong Shunan say that Li Shengli was getting married today, a smile appeared on her lips.
It’s a happy wedding, and as a country wife, I should at least congratulate her properly!
"My mom said that this is a new society and a man can only marry one wife. If you are Uncle Li's wife, how can Aunt Liang still marry Uncle Li?"
"I don't know." Jiang Haitang replied in a low voice.
Kong Shunan didn't notice that Jiang Haitang's expression was wrong.
But a tall man with an upright posture and handsome features not far from them saw Jiang Haitang's expression clearly.
He heard the conversation between Jiang Haitang and Kong Shunan. He thought the girl would be sad or even crying, but she was actually laughing.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
The man decisively decided to follow the two.
Kong Shunan continued chattering.
"My mother is the women's director of the factory. She knows everything. I'll ask her later!"
Director of Women's Affairs, it seems that the old man at the gate chose this kid for a reason.
There was a hint of smile in the corner of Jiang Haitang's eyes.
The doorman is a good man!
The factory was very large, and it took Kong Shunan and Jiang Haitang more than ten minutes to walk to the family compound.
The two of them walked all the way to the family compound without noticing anyone following them.
"Here, it's right there. Go there by yourself. I'll go find my mom."
After Kong Shunan pointed the way, he ran away.
Jiang Haitang clenched her fists and walked towards the busiest dormitory.
The door was open, with a big red wedding character pasted on it. There were two tables in the room, and a dozen men and women were eating and drinking.
Surrounded by the crowd was a young couple. The man was wearing a brand new Lenin suit and the woman was wearing a red floral blouse. Both of them had big red flowers on their chests. They were obviously the newlyweds today.
The woman's fair face was full of shyness, while the man looked very proud!
Jiang Haitang looked closely at the person and no longer hesitated.
She strode in and shouted, "Li Ergou!"
The crisp voice and the three words "Li Ergou" immediately quieted the originally noisy space.
More than ten people looked at Jiang Haitang at the same time.
Jiang Haitang has been malnourished for a long time. She is skinny, with dry and yellow hair, and looks like a typical bullied young wife.
But at this moment, the little person gives people a very imposing feeling.
"Comrade, you may have found the wrong person. There is no one named Li Ergou here." A young woman spoke.
Jiang Haitang didn't look at anyone else, she only stared at Li Shengli!
"Li Ergou, what are you doing?"
After saying this, Jiang Haitang covered her chest with her hands and tears fell down.
As for Li Shengli, the smile on his face gradually faded.
He recognized her and panicked. Why did this woman come here?
Didn’t we agree to keep it a secret from her?
Li Shengli secretly blamed several people in his family, asking how they couldn't even keep an eye on a woman?
"Who are you? I don't know you, and I'm not Li Ergou." Li Shengli spoke calmly.
"I don't care what your name is now. For the past eighteen years, you were called Li Ergou! When you held your wedding banquet with me, you were also called Li Ergou."
"You got the wrong person!" Li Shengli defended.
"On the ninth day of the eleventh month of that year, you held a wedding banquet with me before joining the army. Now you say you don't know me? Li Ergou, you took a concubine behind my back. Where is your conscience?"
Liang Suya's face turned pale instantly. She clenched her fists and stared at Jiang Haitang.
Why is there such an unlucky person on such a happy day?
What do you mean by taking a concubine? How did Liang Suya become a concubine?
No, that’s not the point. The point is that Lee Seung-ri has a wife in the countryside?
"Li Shengli! What's going on?" Liang Suya asked gritting her teeth.
Li Shengli hurriedly coaxed Liang Suya and said, "Suya, I don't know her, really!"
Li Shengli would never admit what Jiang Haitang said even if he died.
He stared at Jiang Haitang intently, gritting his teeth and saying, "Who are you? What nonsense are you talking about? Who bribed you to ruin my reputation?"
The people around them looked back and forth between the three people.
What's going on?
