At the same time, the affair between Liu Aimei and Tong Hongyun was eventually exposed.
Not long after Tong Hongyun's wife, Zhang Liqin, suffered a miscarriage, she refused to have sex with Tong Hongyun, who was a womanizer and could not possibly stay faithful.
After Tong Qiang was executed, Zhang Liqin was counting on the child in her womb to solidify her position in the family.
However, due to her advanced maternal age, the baby could not be saved.
Tong Hongyun has been coming home later and later lately, and his shirt collar is often stained with lipstick.
Zhang Liqin, unable to bear it any longer, reminded Tong Hongyun to be more careful.
Tong Hongyun scoffed, "Be sensible. You can't have children, so what, you're not going to let other women have them for me?"
Zhang Liqin angrily replied, "Once my body has recovered, I can have a baby!"
Tong Hongyun: "Come on, I'm getting old, I'm going to sleep."
Zhang Liqin was furious and woke her up again, saying, "I won't care what you do outside, but you have to give me some face at home. If you, my mistress, don't be honest, don't blame me for going after someone else!"
Tong Hongyun opened his eyes.
Zhang Liqin sneered, "You clearly know you're a married man, with such a big mark on your face, do you think I'm blind? You're not even divorced yet, and you're already trying to take my place. Tong Hongyun, let me tell you, keep an eye on your mistresses."
Tong Hongyun still had some feelings for Zhang Liqin. Upon reflection, he realized that Liu Aimei had gone a bit too far lately.
He reassured Zhang Liqin, "Okay, I understand. I'll be more careful next time."
Seeing that Tong Hongyun had agreed, Zhang Liqin didn't say anything more.
The next day, Tong Hongyun decided to break up with Liu Aimei.
Liu Aimei is off today. She specially sprayed perfume and changed her clothes before coming to this house.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Tong Hongyun's words.
"……What do you mean?"
Tong Hongyun stood up. "You've gone a bit too far lately. My wife minds. Let's part ways amicably. Here's three thousand yuan. Take it and don't come here again."
Liu Aimei's face turned pale.
During this period, she and Song Guomin were still in a cold war.
Song Guomin had long been ready to back down, but Liu Aimei stubbornly refused to budge, keeping a cold face at home every day. Song Guomin had been panicking these past few days and hadn't mentioned the five hundred yuan that Liu's mother had borrowed.
"...I didn't mean to." Liu Aimei deliberately feigned weakness, her eyes reddening again.
Having finally managed to hook up with a rich guy like Tong Hongyun, she didn't want to go back to face Song Guomin's deadpan face.
Tong Hongyun clicked his tongue, "We both have families, and I can't get a divorce, nor can you. Alright, stop crying, stop it."
Tong Hongyun is just a womanizer; he can't possibly get a real divorce.
Tong Hongyun was about to leave.
Liu Aimei immediately hugged his waist, "This is the last time."
The perfume she wore was Tong Hongyun's favorite.
Tong Hongyun, who was about to push Liu Aimei away, grasped her hand again, saying, "This is the last time."
...
Liu Aimei didn't get home until evening. She looked like she had just finished get off work. On the way, she bought groceries and picked up her two children from daycare.
Tong Hongyun wanted to end things, so Liu Aimei had no choice but to return to her family.
When Song Guomin returned home that evening, he saw Liu Aimei cooking in the kitchen.
Song Guomin breathed a slight sigh of relief.
This is the first time they've had such a long cold war, almost two months.
After Liu Aimei finished cooking, she glanced at Song Guomin and said coldly, "Let's eat."
The two kids have been much better behaved lately, not making a fuss or crying.
The family of four had a rare quiet meal together.
After finishing his meal, Song Guomin took the initiative to wash the dishes. As he washed, he thought to himself, "The money has already been lent out, so I'll just wait for the Liu family to pay it back."
It's impossible for him to divorce Liu Aimei just because of this.
-
Xu Songyuan's shop has been open for almost half a month.
It's getting colder and colder now, and the workers want something warm to eat at noon. They come to Xu Songyuan's place for fried rice and hot egg drop soup.
Xu Songyuan's small business is getting better and better. Not only do people from the construction site come to eat, but people who work nearby also come.
In addition to setting up a stall at the night market in the evening, he can make a net profit of more than 80 yuan a day!
Money is the driving force.
Xu Songyuan is full of energy now!
On December 11th, the verdicts for Xu Zhongtang and Xu Chenggang were also announced.
Xu Zhongtang was sentenced to death, and Xu Chenggang was sentenced to twenty years in prison.
That day, Xu Guiying and her husband took leave to accompany Xu Songyuan to the court.
Xu Xue, Sun Xiumin, and Xu Peng were also there.
After leaving the courthouse, Sun Xiumin launched into a tirade against them, blaming Xu Guiying and her brother for being merciless and disregarding their past brotherly bond.
They keep repeating the same things over and over again.
Xu Songyuan was tongue-tied and couldn't utter a word for a long time, so Xu Guiying stepped in and not only cursed Xu Chenggang and his son, but also the Xu family ancestors. She also cursed Sun Xiumin's family for not raising her well, and said that Sun Xiumin and Xu Zhongtang had problems, and that their offspring Xu Xue and Xu Peng were social scum.
You often see people arguing outside the courthouse.
But this is the first time I've ever seen someone insult someone to such an extent that they are left speechless.
Xu Xue was so angry her blood vessels were about to burst!
She suppressed her anger and told Sun Xiumin to take Xu Peng back first.
Xu Xue caught up with the three people in front of her.
Xu Xue and her family have been in the city for a few days and have rented a small house to live in. Sun Xiumin has also found a job cleaning in a shopping mall. Xu Peng is not in school, so Xu Xue is forcing him to work as a porter. Twenty yuan a month is still money!
Xu Xue kept a distance from them at a moderate level until they reached a crossroads.
Xu Songyuan parted ways with them.
Xu Xue followed Xu Songyuan to the alley where he lived. She didn't dare to go in. After waiting for a while, she saw Xu Songyuan pushing a cart out.
Xu Xue squinted and murmured, "Where are we going?"
It wasn't until they followed Xu Songyuan to the night market that they saw people queuing up to buy fried rice. They were so busy collecting money that they stuffed it all into the apron pocket in front of Xu Songyuan.
After standing there for only half an hour, I saw Xu Songyuan actually sell about ten servings of fried rice!
Earning so much money in just one day...
If Xu Songyuan were still her father... then all this money would be hers.
Xu Xue's face turned grim.
This period was a dark time in her life. She experienced all kinds of hardships. It was true that her father had killed someone, but she hadn't killed anyone. Thinking of her fiancé's resolute words when he broke off the engagement, Xu Xue felt so depressed that she vomited blood.
I haven't been able to find a suitable job these past few days, and our family's money is almost gone.
Xu Xue didn't stay long before going home, where she told Sun Xiumin and Xu Peng about it.
Xu Peng's face darkened. "We're like rats in the street now, everyone's chasing after us, but he's doing just fine, he can still make money by setting up a stall."
Sun Xiumin was also angry, and she said a few words to Xu Xue.
Xu Xue narrowed her eyes slightly: "Don't rush this. I'll go take a look again tomorrow. We'll discuss it further."
The next morning, Xu Xue went to the alley outside Xu Songyuan's house again.
After waiting for almost an hour, Xu Songyuan finally set up his stall.
They followed Xu Songyuan to the vicinity of the construction site.
Starting at 11 o'clock, people began to come and buy fried rice.
Xu Xue was envious. She found a place to sit down and heard some diners praising Xu Songyuan's fried rice as delicious.
Xu Xue clenched her fists, and the plan took shape in her mind.
