Chapter 34 Provocation
Su Houli and Chen Guilan both grew up in Wutong Village.
But they were not familiar with each other when they were young and had not even met each other many times.
When she was young, Chen Guilan was well-known for her ability and was good at everything. At that time, she was still in a production team. It was Xu Yuxiang who fell in love with Chen Guilan and said that marrying her was equivalent to marrying a hard-working person.
Su Houli was one of the most handsome and intelligent young men in the village. He had been sent out by the production team to study for a period of time and had also worked as a teacher in the village for a year. At that time, he really needed a capable wife.
He couldn't say he liked her, he just felt she was suitable for him.
She admired him more. Every day many students followed him and called him "teacher", and she felt proud of it.
With Xu Yuxiang's help, the two got married and had a daughter.
In the first two years of their marriage, the two of them lived a very sweet life. He came home every day to eat the meals she cooked and changed into clean clothes to go to class. Although he was in the countryside, he rarely went to work in the fields because of his work. Xu Yuxiang's prediction was completely accurate. Because she was capable, he was hardly needed at home or in the fields.
Also because of her ability, she continued to work in the fields when she was pregnant with her second child and accidentally had a miscarriage.
Since then, my stomach has been quiet.
Within a few years, the vigorous production team was disbanded, and each household began to work on their own. The school also moved to the neighboring village and merged into one school. At that time, teachers' salaries were generally low, and he was a private teacher, earning only 50 yuan a month. He had to run to the neighboring village every day. Su Houli returned from school. He was not used to working in the fields, so he went to work in the city.
After that, he didn't come back often.
Even he himself had forgotten when was the last time he and her had sex.
Ever since Gao Meifeng came into his life, he no longer wanted to touch her.
It seemed that touching her meant he had given up his inner dream. He knew that this was not the case, but that was what he thought in his heart.
On the kang, the two tossed and turned, neither of them able to sleep.
But not a word.
The more Chen Guilan kept silent, the more tormented Su Houli felt. He would rather Chen Guilan make things clear now. At worst, they would have a big fight, and then he would have an excuse not to go home. Once his promotion was finalized in a few days, he would divorce her on the grounds of marital discord. What was her excuse?
If Chen Guilan knew about his affairs and kept silent, then this woman would be too cunning and he would find her terrifying.
If she didn't know, then she was really stupid.
It turns out that if you don’t like someone, even breathing feels wrong.
Su Houli was angry at his own thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He simply picked up his pillow and went to the room where Xu Yuxiang used to live and fell asleep. He and this woman really had no understanding at all, and he couldn't even find a reason for divorce.
Chen Guilan pulled the quilt over her head.
Don't let yourself cry out loud.
The next day, Su Houli got up early and didn't even say hello to Chen Guilan. He planned to go next door to have dinner with Xu Yuxiang.
As soon as he walked out of the house, he found that there was a brand new flat-handle bicycle in the yard.
This new type of flat-handle bicycle costs about three hundred yuan. Gao Meifeng has been coveting it for a long time. He promised her that he would buy it for her after some time.
Now, the bicycle actually appeared in his yard, which surprised him.
"Whose bicycle is this?" Su Houli asked Chen Guilan.
When he came back yesterday, it was already dark and he didn't see it.
Chen Guilan didn't say anything either.
"I bought it." Chen Guilan then remembered the bicycle and whispered, "We didn't have a bicycle at home, and it was inconvenient for me to go out, so I bought it."
"Do you know how much this kind of bicycle costs?" Su Houli was very angry. "Where did you get the money to buy a bicycle?"
"We started a small business and made some money..." Chen Guilan also felt that the bicycle was too expensive and felt guilty. She didn't dare to look up at him. "I wanted to tell you, but I forgot last night..."
"Do you know how hard I work to earn money? And you just spend it recklessly!" Su Houli finally found an excuse to vent his anger, which had been pent up all night. He yelled at her, "I work overtime outside, working myself to death, and I still have to pay for the children's tuition and living expenses, and you let you squander it like this?"
No need to ask, it must be Su Jiaojiao who used his money to buy the bicycle.
He was so angry!
"Hou Li, I didn't spend the money you gave Jiao Jiao. I really earned it myself." Chen Guilan was frightened by him and said in a panic, "When you were not at home, I always went to my second brother's house to borrow a bicycle. We should have a bicycle at home."
"You actually dislike me not being home?" Veins popped out of Su Houli's forehead, and he wanted to eat Chen Guilan. "I'm busy as hell outside, and you still dislike me. I tell you, if you can live together, then live together. If you can't, then divorce me. I can't afford to support you two."
"Hou Li, you clearly know that's not true, so why are you still saying this?" Chen Guilan burst into tears. "When have I ever asked you for money? And how much money has Jiao Jiao ever spent on you? Even if I was wrong to buy a more expensive bike, is there any need to file for divorce?"
After being married for many years, she and Su Houli had never quarreled like this.
Whenever he was unhappy, she would keep quiet and everything would be fine after a while.
Xu Yuxiang and Feng Yuefen lay on the wall to watch the fun.
They deserve it for letting the mother and daughter buy bicycles to show off!
It would be best for Su Houli to give Chen Guilan a good beating to see if the mother and daughter dare to show off again.
"Chen Guilan, you'd better take care of yourself!" Su Houli threw what Su Jiaojiao said to Chen Guilan, pushed his bicycle and walked out. When he reached the gate, he kicked it open with one foot. The gate slammed with a loud noise, which scared the passing dog.
Chen Guilan ran into the house crying.
There was no more excitement to watch. Xu Yuxiang snorted and walked from the wall to the door to wait for Su Houli. She stopped him and asked, "When did you come back?"
"Last night." Su Houli parked his bicycle at the door and followed Xu Yuxiang into the yard. Xu Yuxiang continued to exaggerate: "You should have taken control of these two people a long time ago. They have been acting like a jerk these past few days."
As he spoke, he told Su Houli about how Su Jiaojiao had taken her daughter and daughter in the car to Old Lady Yin's house. "They went to the Jiaoxian fair a few times and met some shady people. They even came to our house. Everyone in the village saw it. Your daughter is very capable. She flirted with people on the street and even went to school. What kind of school is she going to? I don't think even working people are as capable as her."
Not to mention cars, even tractors are rare in Wutong Village.
No wonder others gossip about it.
"That's right, it's a generous gift. Your daughter is grown up now, you have to take better care of her. Buying her a bicycle is just a small matter. Who knows what will happen in the future!" Feng Yuefen had long disliked Chen Guilan and Su Jiaojiao. "I heard from Xiumei that Jiaojiao, in order to show off, caught thieves on the street and even alerted the police station. You see, those thieves always hold grudges. If you provoke them, it wouldn't be surprising if someone robbed you on the road one day. You are a girl, but you are too wild."
"That's right!" Xu Yuxiang gnashed with anger as she mentioned this, spitting profusely. "Your sister's colleague was there at the time, and because of Jiaojiao catching the thief, they almost got into trouble. The old lady who came to see her fell off her bicycle, and she almost got blackmailed. Your sister said she no longer has this niece."
The more Su Houli listened, the darker his face became.
That girl spoke very logically when she argued with him, but what was she doing herself?
"If you ask me, there's no need to leave that new bicycle with them. You can just ride it to the city." Xu Yuxiang continued to flatter Su Houli. "It's a waste for her, a farmer, to ride such a new bicycle."
Su Houli thought so too.
I just pushed the old bike back and rode the new one away.
We have to teach them a lesson!
