Seeing that her mother had no misunderstanding and was not angry, and even took her hand and went home together, Lin Xiaoyu immediately relaxed.
After walking for a while, Li Shuping began to say, "Xiaoyu, you are still a student. Your main task is to study. Do you know that?"
"Mom, I know. Zhang Tiejun and I are just ordinary classmates." Lin Xiaoyu explained again.
Li Shuping: "Mom knows that you definitely treat 놛 as an ordinary classmate, but tell me honestly, does 놛 like you and is pursuing you?"
Lin Xiaoyu nodded, "But I really don't care about you. I don't like you at all. I just want to study hard, get into college, find a good job, and let you live a good life."
Zhang Tiejun is a poor student in their class. He always likes to get together with a few bad boys in the class to play tricks on the girls.
She was also one of the targets of Zhang Tiejun's frequent teasing. She was very annoying, but once during a physical education class, it was very hot and she was very thirsty. Many classmates bought popsicles, but she had no money, so she could only watch her classmates swallow their saliva.
Zhang Tiejun bought her a popsicle and wanted to treat her to it. She wanted to refuse at first, but she was so thirsty and hot and wanted to eat the popsicle so much that she accepted it.
When the classmates saw this, they started to make a fuss, saying that Zhang Tiejun liked her.
Later, Zhang Tiejun kept hanging around her, and her classmates started to make a fuss when they saw him.
She didn't like Zhang Tiejun, but when her classmates started to tease her and said that Zhang Tiejun liked her, she would become shy and blush. She felt embarrassed, but also had an indescribable feeling.
To the extent that, even though she thought Zhang Tiejun was quite annoying, she gradually felt that he was not that annoying anymore, and even started to pay attention to him.
But these feelings disappeared since she made up her mind to study hard, get into college, and give her mother a good life.
Faced with Zhang Tiejun's harassment, I just felt annoyed.
"Mom believes in you." Li Shuping patted Xiaoyu's hand, "But if Zhang Tiejun keeps pestering you and does anything extreme, you must tell mom and the teachers at school. Mom doesn't want you to get hurt."
Lin Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, leaned her head on Li Shuping's shoulder affectionately, and said coquettishly, "Mom, you are so kind."
She wanted to find an opportunity to tell Zhang Tiejun to stop pestering her, as it was impossible for her to like him.
After seeing Zhang Kexin off, Gu Zhenyuan was about to go back when he saw Xiao Liu taking a basket from the car, which was filled with a lot of vegetables.
"Where did this come from?"
Xiao Liu: "This belongs to Comrade Li Shuping. It was left in the police car."
"Li Shuping." Gu Zhenyuan remembered that she said she went to the river to dig shepherd's purse, and wanted to make dumplings with shepherd's purse and egg filling.
"Did you leave her address?"
Xiao Liu nodded, "Yes, it seems to be No. 23 Lihua Lane."
It was only asked not long ago, so Xiao Liu remembered it.
"Give it to me." Gu Zhenyuan stretched out his hand. "My home is not far from Lihua Lane. I'll give it to her when I go home."
Xiao Liu handed over the basket.
Li Shuping took her daughter's hand and walked into Yard No. 23.
"Mom will make sweet and sour pork for you tonight."
Liu Mingxiang and several other girls in the compound gathered together to gossip. When one of them saw Li Shuping and her daughter coming back, she winked at her.
There was no doubt that they were gossiping about Li Shuping.
Liu Mingxiang found out the reason why Li Shuping moved from the steel plant's staff quarters to their yard, so she called a few gossipy women in the yard together to talk about it.
When Liu Mingxiang saw this, she raised her voice and said in a sarcastic tone, "What decent and good woman would get divorced? I feel ashamed to live in the same courtyard with a woman who divorced her husband and abandoned her children. I'm afraid she will corrupt the atmosphere of our No. 23 courtyard in the future."
When Lin Xiaoyu heard what 그 said about her mother, she frowned and was about to go up and argue with 그.
Li Shuping held her back, shook her head at her daughter, and motioned for her to do it herself.
"Oh, if you think it's too much to live in the same yard with a divorced woman like me, then just move out. I'll bring bad influence to the No. 23 Yard. Has there ever been a good atmosphere in the No. 23 Yard?"
“…”
Everyone was speechless. They definitely didn't have such a good atmosphere on the 23rd.
Not only that, their Courtyard No. 23 is almost becoming a cancer in Lihua Lane.
"..." Liu Mingxiang choked, "Why should I move? If anyone should move, it should be you."
Li Shuping spread her hands and smiled, "I don't mind living with you, why should I move?"
Liu Mingxiang then laughed and said, "I didn't make a scene at my son's wedding, nor was I beaten by my own man at his wedding, nor did I abandon my husband and children and divorce him. I'm not as shameless as you, so why do you dislike me?"
Li Shuping was not angry either. She straightened her back and said, "I made a scene at my son's wedding. I made a scene because the bride's brother deliberately made a scene to humiliate me as a bridesmaid. I felt humiliated, but I stood up for myself and beat up that little jerk. How can that be considered shameful? If you are humiliated but don't dare to stand up for yourself and even smile at the other person, that's shameful!"
Gu Zhenyuan parked the police car at the entrance of the alley. Just as he walked into the gate of Yard 23 with the basket, he heard Li Shuping's voice and involuntarily slowed down his pace.
The gossips in Yard 23: That seems to be the case.
Li Shuping continued, "I was beaten by my boyfriend at my son's wedding, but it wasn't because I was wrong. It was because that old man couldn't tell right from wrong. Of course, I fought back and didn't let that old man get away with it."
"Shu Ping, you beat your own man, and you think you are so proud of it." Aunt Yuan, who was sitting nearby sewing shoe soles, stopped pretending and said sarcastically, "If it were the old society, someone like you would have been divorced by your husband's family."
"So I am grateful to the new society and the new China for letting us women stand up," Li Shuping said passionately. "It allowed me to divorce the rotten man who could not distinguish right from wrong and only knew how to wrong and beat his wife."
The corners of Aunt Yuan's eyes twitched wildly. Not only was she glorious in beating the man, she was also glorious in getting a divorce.
Liu Mingxiang looked at Li Shuping as if she was crazy, "Haha, it's quite glorious for you to get a divorce."
"Of course I am honored." Li Shuping said confidently, "Why does the country allow divorce? And if the couple cannot agree to divorce and one party disagrees, the other party can sue the other party for divorce."
"That tells us that if you are unhappy in your marriage, if you are treated unfairly, betrayed, violently, or oppressed, you can separate from your partner and start a new life."
"I was unhappy in my marriage, I was treated violently and was not respected. I didn't want to be a nanny for my partner anymore, so I chose to divorce. The state laws and regulations support me. I dared to resist and walked out of an unhappy marriage and family life. Of course I am honored."
Li Shuping: "You said divorce is shameful? But if your own man treats you badly, beats you violently and scolds you for a long time, and you still have to swallow your anger and serve him, then isn't it shameful?"
Of course this is lost.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many women who would close the doors and windows when being beaten and scolded by men, for fear of being heard or seen by their husbands.
There wouldn't be so many people who would protect their faces when being beaten, for fear of getting hurt and being discovered by their friends.
