After having lunch at his grandmother's house, Gao Mingcheng went to visit his own grandmother.
Grandma Gao broke the bone in her left leg after a fall. She couldn't move at all in the first few days. After she felt a little better, she was finally able to go to the toilet by herself, but that was all.
As people get older, their body functions deteriorate and their recovery ability is not as good as that of young people. Grandma Gao looks as if she has aged several years.
She lay on the bed with a radio beside her to entertain herself.
Originally, Gao Yuanjian wanted to put the TV in her room, but Grandma Gao herself refused.
Many people come to watch TV every night. Grandma Gao doesn't like too many people crowding in her room, which makes her uncomfortable.
Besides, she has severe presbyopia and can't see clearly on the TV screen.
"I have to come back to shake honey tomorrow. Grandma, do you want to eat anything? If so, I'll bring it back to you tomorrow." Gao Mingcheng felt sorry for her listless look.
Ever since she saw Gao Mingcheng's ability to make money, Grandma Gao is no longer as hard on herself as before.
Hearing Gao Mingcheng's question, she thought for a moment and said, "I want to eat candied fruit. My mouth has no taste."
"Okay, then I'll bring you some candied fruit tomorrow!" Gao Mingcheng agreed immediately.
Satisfied Grandma Gao immediately smiled, and it was then that Gao Mingcheng noticed that Grandma had lost another tooth.
Gao Mingcheng felt a little sad for a moment. He wanted to take his grandmother to the hospital to get some dentures, but then he remembered that his grandmother's leg was broken and she couldn't move around.
Time is always merciless and makes people grow old quickly.
After Gao Mingcheng came out of his grandmother's room, Gao Mingli immediately approached him and asked in a low voice: "Second brother, are you going back to the county town?"
Gao Mingli felt that the days at home were like years, so he couldn't wait to return to the county town.
After returning to the county, he felt very relaxed. He went to work as usual, did something within his ability after get off work, had a hearty dinner, and watched color TV. How comfortable!
Gao Mingcheng's face darkened, and he asked bluntly: "Mingli, do you still want this wife? If not, don't waste her time. She can still remarry while she's still young."
Gao Mingli was stunned and had no idea why his second brother said that.
But he instinctively said, "Yes, why don't you want it?"
In order to marry Zhang Jinling, the family spent a lot of money on dowry.
Besides, divorce is not popular in the village. Divorce is certainly disadvantageous to the woman, but the man will also inevitably be gossiped about. If he wants to find another one, it will cost the family a lot of money.
Although Gao Mingli is a formal employee of the sugar factory, his salary is less than 100 yuan. After his daily expenses, he can save 20 yuan a month, which is considered good.
Now most of the betrothal gifts in the village are 680 yuan, but some families have already paid 880 yuan. In the county, it is more than 1,000 yuan.
Therefore, it would be difficult for him to save enough money for a dowry to marry a wife by himself. If he relied on his family, it was estimated that his family would not have much money in the next two years.
No matter how you look at it, divorce is not cost-effective, and Gao Mingli has never thought about divorce at all.
But he didn't want to get divorced, but he also didn't want to live a good life with Zhang Jinling, so he just muddled along like this.
When Gao Mingcheng saw him like this, he became angry, because he saw the ugly side of his past life in Gao Mingli.
In the previous life, Xuanyimei had threatened to divorce him, but he could neither understand Xuanyimei's grievances nor was willing to divorce, so the matter dragged on.
It was delayed until many women got breast cancer.
The doctor told him that it was caused by depression and fatigue. Many beautiful mothers died of cancer, so she was also at high risk of cancer.
In this life, Gao Mingcheng gave Mei a life without worries about food and clothing, and separated from the family early on. Without those troublesome things, many beautiful days were easy and happy, and even her fierce temper before marriage was restrained a lot.
Now everyone in the county knows that the proprietress of Xinxin Clothing Store is beautiful, kind-hearted and has a good personality.
If you tell others that many Americans have hit people with brooms and cursed for a long time with their hands on their hips, I'm afraid no one will believe it.
Environment shapes character, and character determines destiny.
It is said that men are afraid of choosing the wrong career and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. In her previous life, Zhang Jinling had a good personality, was hardworking and family-oriented, and had no major problems except that she loved playing mahjong.
It’s nothing like in this life, where she became a shrew just one or two months after marriage.
"Gao Mingli, if you don't want to get divorced, then live a good life with Jinling. Ask Jinling to pack up your things now, and we will go to the county together." Gao Mingcheng said in an unquestionable tone.
He stared at Gao Mingli and signaled him to take action immediately.
Gao Mingli's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.
"But my mother doesn't let her go to the county...she also raises more than 20 chickens..." Gao Mingli subconsciously found a reason.
Gao Mingcheng sneered and bluntly exposed his true thoughts: "You don't want her to go, right? You are really interesting. You don't want to get a divorce, and you don't want to live a good life with her. You leave her alone in this unfamiliar in-laws' house. Do you think she can live a comfortable life?"
"I, I didn't..." Gao Mingli stammered in his defense.
Gao Mingcheng didn't care whether what he said was true or not, and just said: "Then go pack your wife's luggage!"
Gao Mingli refused to move again and just stood there in silence.
At this time, Zhang Jinling, who was hiding on the side and eavesdropping, couldn't help it. She burst into tears, rushed out, threw herself on Gao Mingli, and hit him with her fists.
Zhang Jinling is not the fragile Lin Daiyu. She has very strong hands and even Gao Mingli can't stand her beating.
Gao Mingli kept dodging, shouting, "Second brother, second brother, pull her away!"
"Zhang Jinling, you crazy woman, stop hitting me!"
The commotion here also attracted Luo Xiaohua.
Since the quarrel, Gao Mingcheng seldom came to visit. Now he has come a few times because of Grandma Gao, but both sides were very fake polite. Therefore, when Gao Mingcheng came, Luo Xiaohua went to her room to rest and was unwilling to stay outside.
Now seeing Zhang Jinling beating Gao Mingli like crazy, she exploded and immediately rushed forward to tear Zhang Jinling apart, and in a flash it became a fight between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
After Gao Mingli was released, he was still frightened.
Gao Mingcheng became more disappointed in Gao Mingli when he saw that he did not step forward to mediate the fight.
Gao Mingcheng didn't want to say anything more and turned around and left.
But Luo Xiaohua refused to let him go. While fighting with Zhang Jinling, he cursed: "Second brother, did you instigate this? Whenever you come to our house, there will be no good things at home!"
Gao Mingcheng did not deny it. He had good hearing and knew that Zhang Jinling was eavesdropping nearby. He deliberately tore off Gao Mingli's disguise to let Zhang Jinling see Gao Mingli's true character.
Before this, Zhang Jinling still had fantasies about Gao Mingli, but after this, Zhang Jinling's fantasies were shattered.
At this time, Zhang Jinling was like a madman, beating Luo Xiaohua so hard that he couldn't fight back.
Seeing that Luo Xiaohua was about to be pushed down by Zhang Jinling, Gao Mingli finally moved. He stepped forward to protect Luo Xiaohua and pushed Zhang Jinling away.
The defenseless Zhang Jinling fell to the ground with a look of sadness on her face. She buried her head and cried, cursing as she cried, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Luo Xiaohua also cursed, but she cursed Gao Mingcheng because she felt it was Gao Mingcheng's fault, otherwise Zhang Jinling would not be so crazy today.
"Enough! They quarrel every day, every day, it never ends!" Finally, Gao Yuanjian, who was hiding in the room, couldn't stand it anymore.
Three women make a drama. Zhang Jinling, Huang Su'e and Luo Xiaohua quarrel almost every day. Gao Yuanjian can't even stay out of it.
"Fourth Brother, take your wife away!" Gao Yuanjian knew it very well in his mind, but he just pretended to be deaf and dumb and kept silent.
Before marrying Zhang Jinling, Luo Xiaohua and Huang Su'e got along very well. The second and third daughters-in-law had separated long ago, and the family was harmonious every day.
Ever since Zhang Jinling came into the family, there has been no peace in the family.
So Gao Yuanjian simply asked Gao Mingli to take Zhang Jinling away, to prevent the three women from fighting every day and becoming a laughing stock for the villagers.
Gao Mingli was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that his father also wanted him to take Zhang Jinling away. (End of this chapter)
