Chapter 11: Winning the Argument
Liu Chunyan rolled up her sleeves and spat out a mouthful of blood. "Who are you trying to scare, you bastard? Your parents are already in jail, why are you still pretending to be so high and mighty? I wasn't brought up to be scared.
If you have the guts, go and sue me? It depends on who will be sent to be criticized! ”
He is indeed an illiterate piece of shit!
Huo Qingqing, "Okay, then you just wait." After she finished speaking, she pulled Han Jianwu and said, "Let's go home and write the petition."
After walking two steps, Huo Qingqing turned back to look at the group of Han family members and said, "Now that the family has been divided, each family should take care of its own affairs. Now it is a new society where the law does not punish collectively. If one person gets sued, it will only affect his or her descendants and has nothing to do with other family members. You don't have to worry about being implicated."
The parents-in-law were so angry that they were shaking and couldn't say a word for a long time. The second son finally spoke, "From the fourth son's family?"
Huo Qingqing looked at Han Laoer, nodded slightly, and said, "What's the matter, second brother?"
Han Lao Er said, "The fifth son's wife is illiterate and is just a blind village woman who only cares about her own affairs. She must have been instigated by someone to slander your father. With her level of ability, she is not qualified to say such things."
Liu Chunyan was about to start scolding the second child, but Han Jianhua kicked her and pointed at her and yelled, "Hold it, if you dare to scold me again, I'll ask your parents to come and take you back."
Liu Chunyan really held it in. At that time, rural women had to endure the hardship and fatigue. Those who really couldn't go on would rather commit suicide than divorce. Han Jianhua's words "let your parents take you back" meant that he didn't want her anymore.
Huo Qingqing, "What does Second Brother mean?"
Han Jianwu pestered his second brother to get Huo Qingqing's job as a substitute elementary school teacher. As a team cadre, the second brother dealt more with the educated youth. According to his observation, Huo Qingqing was not as outrageous as everyone said. Take the current division of the family for example, when they were given such a shabby house, she not only did not make a fuss, but she also paid for the house herself and helped the fourth brother clean up the house. It seemed that she really wanted to live a good life with the fourth brother.
From the quarrel between her and Liu Chunyan just now, we can tell who is more reasonable and has a good vision.
Han Erge said, "My sister-in-law's real purpose is to find out who instigated the fifth daughter-in-law, not to really send the fifth daughter-in-law to court, right?"
Huo Qingqing said, "There are still some sensible people. That was what I meant at first, but I see that she only remembers to eat and not to be beaten, so forget it. This kind of person should be sent to a cell for reform."
Liu Chunyan was so angry that she felt like she was suffocating to death if she didn't utter all the curse words in her heart. But Han Jianhua had her pinned down so she didn't dare to act rashly. What if she got mad and was really sent back to her parents' home? This was all she could think of. As for what Huo Qingqing said about sending her to reform and affecting her descendants' chances of passing college entrance exams, joining the army, or becoming an official, it was simply beyond her ability to think about.
The eldest couple kept their hands in their sleeves and kept silent, and they would not say such profound words. The third couple could speak eloquently about other things, but these were beyond their comprehension.
The second brother looked at Han Jianwu, "Fourth brother, what do you think we should do?"
Han Jianwu said, "As long as the fifth wife can explain clearly who instigated her to say that, we can forget about it. After all, we are a family."
The second child looked at Liu Chunyan, "Old Five, are you still not going to tell the truth? Are you going to protect those bad guys and abandon your children to be reformed?"
Liu Chunyan just couldn't believe that she would be taken away for reform, but everyone seemed to be really worried about her being taken away for reform? Does that bitch Huo Qingqing really have the ability to make her go through reform or go to jail? Aren’t her parents already in jail? Wasn't she also anonymously reported as a traitor and the daughter of a capitalist, and was almost dragged away for criticism and reform because she did not reform herself properly in the production team and instead had a sexual relationship with someone? But she didn't do anything? Just telling the truth.
After recovering from the shock, Father Han looked at his youngest son and shouted, "Jianhua, since she won't tell the truth, call your father-in-law and mother-in-law to take her away!"
Seeing her father-in-law speak, Liu Chunyan burst into tears, "Is it not enough for me to speak?"
Huo Qingqing, "Look at me?"
Liu Chunyan said: "Did that educated youth Gao say that?"
Huo Qingqing, "Which educated youth is Gao? There are several educated youths with the surname Gao."
Liu Chunyan, "That Gao Yunxia, the one you're good with."
Huo Qingqing sneered and said, "I'm good with her? What a joke. What else did she tell you?"
Liu Chunyan remained silent, and her husband kicked her again, "Tell me, what else did that woman say to you?"
Liu Chunyan said, "She also said that Zhang Guohua and she were like pigs and horses, implying that Zhang Zhiqing was her lover, and that Zhang Guohua approached Huo Qingqing only for her money."
Huo Qingqing said, "I know, so I took advantage of the situation and asked them for the money. I just got some of it back, but there is still some left."
Regardless of whether Han Jianwu believed it or not, Huo Qingqing felt that she had cleared the suspicion between herself and Zhang Guohua with the help of Liu Chunyan's words.
Han Jianhua scolded his wife, saying, "You brainless thing, stay away from those educated youths in the future, especially that bitch surnamed Gao, what kind of shit are you."
Mother Han said, "If I hear any of you cheating again, watch out for yourselves. Don't think I can't control you now that the family is divided."
After returning home, Han Jianwu asked Huo Qingqing, "What are your plans next? Are you going to confront Gao Zhiqing?"
Huo Qingqing looked at Han Jianwu, "You still don't believe me? Or do you still think that I have a secret affair with that Zhang Zhiqing?"
Han Jianwu, "I mean that the educated youth deliberately spread rumors to ruin your reputation."
Huo Qingqing said "Oh" and said, "Don't worry about these things. Just get the money and tickets back first." There is still a long time to go, and she will make them experience all the pain she suffered in her past life.
Han Jianwu said: "Just tell me if you need me to do anything. Don't handle it all by yourself. As long as you are here, your problems are not just yours."
Huo Qingqing felt warm in her heart and said, "Okay, I know."
The next day, the commune postman came to Hanjiagou with a express letter from Huo Qingqing, which was brought back to her by Han Jianwu.
When Han Jianwu came back, Huo Qingqing was making dumplings.
Han Jianwu looked at the dumplings that looked like gold ingots and asked in surprise, "You can make dumplings?"
Huo Qingqing, "Of course, otherwise, did these dumplings grow by themselves? By the way, why did you come back so early today?"
Han Jianwu took out an envelope and gave it to her, "Your express letter."
Huo Qingqing quickly wiped her hands on her apron, took the letter and opened it. Inside were recent photos of her parents and two brothers.
There were no sentimental words, but every word her mother said made her burst into tears. Not only did her mother not blame her for getting married and having children without saying a word, she also said that she had her own ideas and that the man she liked must not be a bad one. She also raised her two children well, and they were cute and looked smart.
Finally, my mother said that she would arrange time to visit them in Hanjiagou as soon as possible, and would send her another express letter when the train tickets were booked.
