They divorced on the eighth day of the lunar new year.
On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Grandma Fang and her companions suddenly arrived at the factory and began crying and cursing at the factory gate.
The holiday wasn't over yet, and no one was working at the factory; there wasn't even a security guard at the gate. Shen Qianqian didn't open the gate, nor would she allow anyone else to, leaving the Yu family outside crying. The factory was located in a remote area, with only a few houses for miles around.
Old Mrs. Fang, relying on her age, first cried and then cursed at the door, but no one paid any attention to her. Feeling embarrassed, she was helped to the other side to rest.
Then Yu Jianshan and Feng Xiang took over.
"Yu Jianhua, come back with us right now! What are you doing, making a scene when we're living a perfectly good life?!"
"Is the Zeng family having a hard time? Is it because of their household registration? The mother-in-law is kind, and the husband has a stable job..."
"Isn't it good to just stay at home and be a pampered housewife every day?"
"Come back with us and apologize to your in-laws properly, and this matter will be over!"
Yu Linxiu, who was standing to the side, could hardly bear to listen anymore.
This morning at home, she couldn't stop several people from talking to her. She was scolded for saying even one more word, and they even said that Qianqian and her aunt were enemies.
The teaching materials have corrupted me...??
She was speechless and could only follow along.
"Mom and Dad, Grandma, let's go home!"
"The factory's holiday isn't over yet, nobody's here!" But the group refused to believe it and insisted on waiting.
Even in winter, the sun is blinding, and when it's high in the sky, the heat can make people dizzy. Old Mrs. Fang was already finding it hard to bear.
Feng Xiang had been shouting for a long time until her mouth was dry and her legs were weak. She turned to look at Grandma Fang: "Mom, Auntie..."
"Is your son determined not to come out? Otherwise, let's go back first and come over after they go to work. We need to make a big fuss about this, otherwise my sister-in-law won't take it seriously, and we'll still have to get a divorce!" Yu Jianshan agreed with his wife.
"Yes, Mom, how many people actually get divorced these days? Seeing Hua would be a disgrace to the Yu family!"
Yu Linxiu hesitated, wanting to speak but ultimately suppressing the urge. She decided it was best not to say anything for now, lest she interfere with Qianqian and her aunt's important matter.
My parents and grandparents have all gone completely mad. I don't know what Hu Guihua said that day that made them so determined not to let my aunt get a divorce.
The Yu family members shouted at the door for a long time but returned empty-handed.
Shen Qianqian looked at Yu Jianhua with a calm expression, but her eyes revealed a hint of indifference, indicating that she was truly disappointed in her family.
"Tomorrow, we'll go see Zeng He first. We have something on him, so he won't refuse to get a divorce."
Spending even a second more with a cunning man like Zeng He only adds to your bad luck; it's better to get a divorce first.
Once we're separated, everything else will be easier to discuss.
The next morning, Yang Wang, Zhou Cai, and Yu Jianhai arrived early at the Dongxing Factory to wait for them. When they were about to go to the county, several female workers from the factory also wanted to go with them.
The group set off.
Of the dozen or so people, apart from Shen Qianqian and Yu Jianhai, the others were all wearing Dongxing Factory uniforms. Unlike the uniforms of other factories, which were either green, blue, or gray, the uniforms designed by Shen Qianqian were light yellow, and the factory manager's name and logo were embroidered on the chest pockets.
The uniformly dressed, impressively long procession attracted a lot of attention on the way.
Yang Wang leaned closer and said, "After the holiday, we'll still need to recruit workers, right? I was thinking, we could..."
Let the factory workers walk around outside in their uniforms, and look at the way their eyes are glued to them!
Shen Qianqian had the same idea.
"You're quick-witted."
"Hehe, I have to hurry, after all, this is making money for myself. If the factory is doing well, I'm doing well. I'm still waiting to marry Ah Xiu."
Yang Wang scratched his head. Well, ever since what happened with Aunt Yu, Ah Xiu came directly to him and said that her parents weren't very good people, and if they were together, they would definitely have to get past her parents' approval. *cough cough*
He has no choice but to work harder if he wants to get married.
Shen Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, my uncle and aunt love money. With money, everything is easy. But I advise you two not to be too honest. If you get taken advantage of once, you'll get taken advantage of again. Your lives won't be easy from now on."
Yang Wang nodded repeatedly, indicating he would heed the advice. That was exactly what he was planning; he figured he could bribe his way through!
Suddenly remembering something, Shen Qianqian asked, "The factory is doing well now, so the student aid program we planned before can be implemented."
You have to walk well, but you also have to walk steadily.
Yang Wang: "I understand. We'll hold a meeting to discuss this later."
We arrived at the Zeng family's residence.
Red couplets were pasted everywhere in the old alley, making it look quite lively. At this moment, a group of elderly women were sitting in the alley chatting.
Someone saw Yu Jianhua and greeted her, asking why she hadn't been home lately. Yu Jianhua smiled and replied, "I've been busy with work lately."
"What kind of job is it that you can't even come home for the Chinese New Year?"
At this moment, Shen Qianqian took the bag of candy and gave each of the old ladies a handful, smiling broadly.
They said, "Grandmas and aunties, we have something to do, so we'll have to stop chatting now. We'll talk to you again when we come out later."
This candy was bought by Yu Linxiu from the supply and marketing cooperative. She bought a lot and distributed it to the workers to take home for the New Year. There was still some left in the factory. Before leaving, Shen Qianqian gave the candy to Zhou Cai to carry, saying that it would be useful later.
See, here it comes in handy!
The elderly women took the candy, their smiles became even more amiable, and they no longer looked at them with those suspicious glances.
"Okay, you guys go ahead."
"This little girl is so pretty, with fair and delicate skin."
Shen Qianqian gave the old lady who praised her another handful of candy.
They arrived at the Zeng family's residence.
Yu Jianhua suddenly spoke.
"You guys wait for me outside. I want to talk to Zeng He myself."
Shen Qianqian: "Then just call out if you need anything, we'll be right outside."
Yang Wang: "Yeah, if there's any problem, just shout and we'll rush in." Shen Qianqian rummaged in her bag and took out two photos.
"Take this. If he refuses to leave, just throw this in his face."
Yu Jianhua took the photo and went straight inside.
Shen Qianqian wasn't idle outside either. She looked around and then led Yang Wang back to the alley entrance.
Chatting with a few old ladies,
Upon learning that Shen Qianqian was the top student at No. 1 Middle School, the group was as affectionate as if they were seeing their own granddaughter.
Some people are curious.
"What's your relationship with Jianhua from the Zeng family?"
Shen Qianqian: "She's my aunt. She hasn't been feeling well lately. She finally found a job at a factory, but my uncle insists she go back home and won't let her work there. The factory is just sewing and mending, very easy work. It only pays 25 yuan a month, such a good job! But my uncle won't take it. He wants my aunt to go back and cook for him. My aunt refused, and he beat her so badly she had to go to the hospital..."
"Huh? You're asking why my aunt only came back today? It's because her face injury hasn't healed yet, and she was afraid that coming back would affect my uncle's work, since he's always hitting people..."
