These days, getting a divorce requires the village chief to mediate and issue a letter of introduction before you can go to the police station to complete the divorce procedures.
Meng Shuyun walked quickly ahead, her feet barely touching the ground; her youthful body was indeed full of vitality!
He walked so fast without even panting. In the past, he would have had to rest after just a few steps, as his old arms and legs would struggle to move even slightly.
His eyes were exceptionally bright, and he could see very clearly, even the scene of his grandson being spanked by his mother in the village chief's yard.
Su Dahai's face was dark as he watched Meng Shuyun walk faster and faster, his heart filled with anger.
That damn woman is serious. She walked so fast, like she was rushing to be reincarnated, as if she couldn't wait to get a divorce.
So what if he asked me for money a couple of days ago and I didn't give it to him? How can he be so petty and inconsiderate? He doesn't even have half of Qin Meizi's gentleness, thoughtfulness, and understanding.
Thinking about the job I've built up over the years, I absolutely cannot get a divorce!
Wanting another thousand yuan? This old woman is dreaming.
Enraged, Su Dahai grabbed Meng Shuyun's arm and said in a condescending tone:
"You just threatened me with divorce to get money from me, right? Now that you've succeeded, I'll give you an extra ten yuan every month, okay?"
You're acting like this just because I didn't pay you a couple of days ago. I'll pay you back tomorrow. Now come back with me, and we'll pretend today never happened.
Shameless old man, your children are all grown up, and you're still talking about divorce.
You may be shameless, but I still have my pride!
Meng Shuyun clicked her tongue, looking at Su Dahai's expression that suggested he had already given her charity and that she should be grateful for ten yuan, and felt disgusted.
I must have been blind to have fallen for that selfish and arrogant bastard.
A loud "smack" echoed in the ears of the village chief's wife, who was washing dishes in the yard. She heard it clearly. She peeked out to watch the commotion.
"Ouch, just hearing about Sister Meng's slap makes my face hurt. What's going on with this couple? They're arguing on the street?"
The village chief's wife, Zhang Laidi, didn't even wash the dishes. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and leaned over the wall to watch the show.
"Su Dahai, do you think I care about your ten yuan? Who's shameless here? With all your lousy affairs, believe me or not, I'll yell all the way to your workplace."
I'd like to ask your leader who this shameless bastard is, clinging to that vixen's belly and unable to get off.
Meng Shuyun put her hands on her hips, exhaled through her nostrils, and spat a mouthful of phlegm onto Su Dahai's dark face.
"Pah! You shameless old geezer, if I were you, I'd find a river and jump in, hang myself on a wall as soon as possible, and live a quiet life, instead of coming out and harming society."
"Meng Shuyun, don't push your luck."
Su Dahai's eyes turned fierce as he warned, "You're an old woman in your seventies or eighties, you wouldn't be seeing someone else outside, would you? Are you trying to divorce me so you can live with another old man?"
The more Su Dahai talked, the more likely it seemed. Thinking back, Meng Shuyun was always kind and gentle when talking to other old men, but she would always have a long face when she saw him.
She must be seeing someone else!
With just one look, Meng Shuyun knew what Su Dahai was thinking, and slapped him again.
"Su Dahai, you messed up yourself and then tried to slander me, thinking everyone is as old and lewd as you."
If I don't get the divorce certificate today, I'll go to your workplace tomorrow and shout it from a loudspeaker.
And that vixen you seduced, don't think I don't know who she is.
I'll strip her naked, tie her up, and take her to her workplace. I'll let the leaders judge this. I want to see if she'll still be as stubborn as she is today then.
Su Dahai's eyes seemed to kill, his fists clenched, and he warned, "If I'm not having a good time, you won't either. What exactly do you want?"
"First: I have to pay 1,000 yuan for the job transfer."
Second: I need to see the money when I go to the police station tomorrow to process the divorce.
Don't tell me you can't come up with that much money. If I don't see the money, I'll go to your workplace and cause a scene right now.
The last one: Take your good son and get out of my house right now.
Upon hearing Meng Shuyun's request, Su Dahai's face darkened even more, his eyes seeming to want to devour her.
"I don't have any money. Where am I supposed to find that much money? I only make thirty-five yuan a month. After that goes to household expenses, and I don't have any money for socializing or giving gifts. It's all gone every month. I have nothing."
When Su Dahai heard that she wanted a thousand yuan, he really had the idea of beating the old woman to death.
Asking for a thousand dollars right off the bat? Why don't you just rob someone? Do you think money grows on trees?
Meng Shuyun didn't waste any words with him. She picked up a stone from the road, weighed it in her hand, and gave him an address.
"Red Star Compound, third floor of Building No. 7, Family Building..."
"I don't have a thousand yuan, five hundred at most, take it or leave it."
Su Dahai stiffened his neck, his face flushed red, and upon hearing the address, he wished he could cover her mouth.
"One thousand, not a penny less," Meng Shuyun replied firmly, her eyes brimming with eagerness.
Su Dahai said, "I have a trial position for a railway broadcaster. A junior high school education is enough. It's worth 500 yuan. Don't push your luck. If you don't want it, fine. Even if you make a scene at the company, I can't come up with that much money."
Upon hearing the word "work," Meng Shuyun snorted coldly, dropped the stone in her hand, and walked towards the village chief's house.
This job opportunity is perfect for my youngest daughter, Xiuju. She went to the countryside last month, and I don't know how she's doing.
Meng Shuyun decided to go to the countryside to find Xiuju after completing the divorce procedures, and after bringing her back, she wouldn't let her go to the countryside anymore.
Lost in her thoughts, she didn't listen to a word of the village chief's advice.
She raised her head and said firmly, "There's no need to say more. My mind is made up. There's no point in trying to persuade me any further. I'm starting to suspect that you're covering for this old geezer."
Village chief Li Quan slammed the enamel mug on the table with a loud bang, his expression hardening. He looked at Su Dahai and said, "Brother Su, I'm not trying to criticize you, but how did things escalate to the point of wanting a divorce?"
Apologize to your sister-in-law, life goes on, and this matter should be left alone.
Su Dahai turned his face away and snorted coldly; his attitude said it all.
He cannot apologize.
If anyone should apologize, it should be that old hag. How can he possibly apologize?
Meng Shuyun sneered and slammed her hand on the table. "Quanzi, where do you get the nerve to think that an apology is all it takes to settle this?"
Are you speaking up for this cheating man because you're in cahoots with him, or do you just want the cheating old man to speak up for him?
I'll grant your wish right now. We'll write the paperwork now, and you'll get divorced tomorrow. If you want to live with him, you two can go to his place.
These days, it's not uncommon for two men to live together.
