After Xu Xiaoyu came to Liu Moli's house and told her about the college entrance examination policy, Liu Moli felt like a cat was scratching her heart. She was unwilling to accept it. She really didn't want to stay in Zhoujia Village. She wanted to go back to the city and leave Zhou Daniu.
However, in Zhoujia Village, if no one supports her, Liu Moli's ideas are destined to be just dreams.
Liu Moli thought about it for a few days before she went back to Zhou Hongming. Liu Moli had decided that it was much more cost-effective for her to go with Zhou Hongming than with Zhou Zhigang. She could use Zhou Hongming to deal with Zhou Daniu and Zhou Zhigang, and he could also help her find a way to divorce Zhou Daniu.
That's right, Liu Moli was planning a divorce. Didn't Xu Xiaoyu say that after graduating from university, those with husbands or wives in the countryside would be assigned back to the countryside? So, wouldn't she just let her divorce Zhou Daniu? After she got into university, she would definitely never return to this hellhole of Zhoujia Village.
In rural areas, divorce is no small matter. Especially for someone like Liu Moli, who lacks her natal family's support, divorcing Zhou Daniu is a dream. However, with Zhou Hongming's support, things are different. Zhou Daniu, a coward, is terrified of officials. All Zhou Hongming needs to do is intimidate him while offering him benefits, and he's sure to comply.
Liu Moli was talking to Zhou Hongming about her plan to take the college entrance exam. Just as she was about to ask Zhou Hongming to find a way to help her divorce Zhou Daniu, the door of the brigade headquarters was pushed open with a bang, and Li Cuilian and two half-grown boys walked in aggressively.
"Cui... Cui Lian?" Zhou Hongming was so scared that he stuttered.
"Zhou Hongming, you bastard, how dare you treat me like this?" Li Cuilian saw Zhou Hongming and a woman hugging each other naked. She was so angry that she raised the hammer in her hand and hit them hard, making Zhou Hongming and Liu Moli scream.
Li Cuilian was relatively lenient with her club. Of the dozen or so blows, seven or eight landed on Liu Moli, while Zhou Hongming only took two or three. Despite this, Zhou Hongming was still furious, especially when he saw his son and nephew curiously looking from him to Liu Moli. He felt completely embarrassed by Li Cuilian.
Some people are like this. When they make a mistake, they won't reflect on it, but instead try to put the blame on others. Zhou Hongming was the same at this time. He didn't think that he shouldn't have been having an affair with Li Cuilian and Liu Moli behind her back. Instead, he blamed Li Cuilian for making him lose face in front of his son and nephew.
After hitting it more than ten times, Li Cuilian felt that she had let out some of her anger, so she stopped.
"Aunt, do you want to catch this woman and parade her through the streets?" Li Cuilian's nephew Li Dashan was eighteen years old this year. He was curious about women. When he saw Liu Moli's naked body, Li Dashan felt that such a woman should be caught and paraded through the streets of the village.
Li Cuilian's son, Zhou Tiechui, tugged on Li Dashan's hand, signaling him to be quiet. Although only fourteen, Zhou Tiechui was much more shrewd than his cousin, Li Dashan. Zhou Tiechui knew from the way his mother walked in that Li Cuilian didn't want to make a big deal out of it. Didn't he see how loudly her mother kicked the door, but kept her curses low?
Li Cuilian really ignored Li Dashan's advice. Instead, she sat down on the ground and burst into tears: "Wow... Zhou Hongming, you bastard, you said you only loved me in this life, then what's the matter with that little devil Liu Moli? You two have been together for a long time, right? Oh my God! I don't want to live anymore! I don't want to live anymore!"
Li Cuilian recalled that Zhou Daniu had come to her house to insult her just over ten minutes earlier, also because Zhou Hongming had touched Liu Moli. At the time, Li Cuilian had thought Zhou Daniu was talking nonsense and had driven him away. Unexpectedly, the affair between Zhou Hongming and Liu Moli was real, and Li Cuilian had caught them in it herself. This made Li Cuilian feel like the sky had fallen.
"Howling? I'm not dead yet!" Zhou Hongming took the opportunity when Li Cuilian stopped to quickly put on his clothes. Once he put on his clothes, Zhou Hongming regained his lost dignity. Seeing Li Cuilian throwing a tantrum, Zhou Hongming not only did not try to persuade her, but instead continued to scold her: "Old women, every family has long hair and short knowledge. If you keep howling, you will be happy if I call everyone over here, right?"
After Zhou Hongming scolded Li Cuilian, her crying became quieter. Li Cuilian was afraid! Family disgrace shouldn't be aired in public. If her crying really drew the attention of the villagers, how could she, the wife of the village chief, save her dignity?
Seeing that Li Cuilian's crying had subsided, Zhou Hongming became more excited. He glared at Zhou Tiechui and Li Dashan and scolded them, "You are so young and yet you are following a spendthrift woman. Go home quickly." Zhou Hongming had just seen that these two brats were staring at Liu Moli's white body in a daze, which made Zhou Hongming very unhappy.
"Mom, let's go back!" Zhou Tiechui was scolded by Zhou Hongming like this. Although he was not convinced, he did not dare to talk back to Zhou Hongming in person. He had to walk to Li Cuilian and prepare to help Li Cuilian who was sitting on the ground.
Li Cuilian didn't want to leave yet. She had just cursed a few words! She hadn't even seen the vixen weeping and apologizing to her yet!
"Mom, let's go home to see grandpa." Zhou Tiechui whispered in Li Cuilian's ear. Li Cuilian's eyes lit up and she got up from the ground.
Li Cuilian knew that Zhou Hongming was most afraid of his father, Zhou Dazhu. She knew that Zhou Hongming had let her down today, and she believed that Zhou Dazhu would definitely teach him a lesson once he found out. Her son was indeed smart, and he immediately came up with this good idea.
When Li Cuilian burst through the door, Liu Moli lowered her head and said nothing, minimizing her presence. When Li Cuilian's club came at her, she shielded her head with her hands. The club struck her arm several times, excruciatingly painful. Aside from a cry of pain at first, caught off guard, Liu Moli gritted her teeth and remained silent, her heart sinking.
If Li Cuilian had come a few minutes later, Liu Moli would have been able to tell Zhou Hongming that she wanted a divorce from Zhou Daniu. Just a little bit of time had ruined her plans.
While Li Cuilian and Zhou Hongming were arguing, Liu Moli quickly put on her clothes. After all, there were so many people watching, and no matter how shameless Liu Moli was, she felt a little embarrassed.
The brigade headquarters was at the entrance of the village, and the closest place to it was Zhou Daniu's home. Li Cuilian didn't dare cry too loudly at first. After all, her husband was the village chief. If the villagers heard the noise and rushed over to watch, Zhou Hongming's position as village chief would be over.
If Zhou Hongming fails to become the village chief because of her negligence, not to mention that Zhou Dazhu will help Li Cuilian teach Zhou Hongming a lesson, it would be good enough if he doesn't send her back to her parents' home.
