Chapter 57 Arrangement
Su Houli gritted his teeth and went to the staff quarters of the meat processing plant.
When he arrived downstairs of Su Xiumei's building, he smoked a cigarette and lingered for four or five minutes before going upstairs.
As soon as he entered the room, Su Xiumei scolded him rudely: "You are not even the deputy factory director yet, but you are getting more and more arrogant. If you become the deputy factory director in the future, I am afraid you will not even recognize me as your sister."
"Sis, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't talk about these trivial things." Su Houli had long experienced his sister's hot and cold sarcasm, but today he was in a bad mood, so the sound was particularly harsh. "I have to go back to work overtime later, so I don't have much time to listen to your lecture."
"Mom, listen, that's how he spoke to me." Su Xiumei said unhappily, "It's Mom who wants to talk to you, not me. I have no interest in your affairs at all."
"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Xu Yuxiang saw that the brother and sister were about to quarrel, so she walked over and pulled Su Houli to sit on the sofa. "Houli, let me ask you, have you told Guilan?"
"No." Su Houli regretted telling his mother about this. She couldn't help and would only cause him more trouble. Xu Yuxiang sat beside him, counting on her fingers as she discussed his plans after the divorce. "Those three acres of land at your family's home are lying idle anyway, so let your brother farm it. Then I'll move into your house and look after the house for you. You don't come back often anyway."
"Mom, that's all for the future." Su Houli was very impatient. "The most important thing right now is how to ask Chen Guilan for a divorce. How can I get her to divorce me smoothly? I don't want to cause a big fuss. I just want to resolve this issue peacefully."
"What else can I say? Just tell her directly!" Xu Yuxiang didn't expect Su Houli to be afraid to ask Chen Guilan for a divorce. She said in disbelief, "How can we get a divorce if you don't ask her? This isn't something that can be done by one person alone."
"Okay, I'll tell you the truth!" Su Houli was speechless after being asked this question. He simply told Xu Yuxiang and Su Xiumei about Su Jiaojiao calling him. Su Xiumei was surprised and asked, "You didn't even tell Chen Guilan, how did Jiaojiao know about this?"
"I'm wondering too!" Su Houli looked at Xu Yuxiang, "Mom, who have you told this to?"
"I've already told your sister, and your sister-in-law and brother know too. Who else can I tell?" Xu Yuxiang said, turning to look at Su Xiumei. "We can't even get in touch with Jiaojiao. Did you say something at home?"
"I didn't say that!" Su Xiumei saw Xu Yuxiang and Su Houli looking at her, and said with a dark face, "You don't have to look at me. How could I possibly tell this to Jiaojiao?"
"If you don't tell her, someone must have told her." Su Houli understood instantly, "Did Liang Kun know?"
If Liang Kun knew about this, that would be it.
He must have said that.
"Maybe Liang Kun heard Mom calling me." Su Xiumei just remembered this. She frowned and said, "I didn't know he was so quick to tell Jiao Jiao."
"She'll know once she finds out!" Xu Yuxiang thought it wasn't a big deal. "She'll find out sooner or later anyway. Besides, if she doesn't let you look for Chen Guilan, then you won't. If she has the guts, she'll go to your workplace and cause trouble."
"Mom, why don't you understand? I can't let the company know about this." Su Houli saw that Xu Yuxiang still couldn't understand what he meant, and said depressedly, "If this really gets out of hand, my position as deputy factory director will be completely over."
"Then don't rush into a divorce!" Xu Yuxiang started talking over and over again. "Let's wait until you're confirmed as deputy factory director before we talk about it. It's been so many years anyway, so a few days won't make a difference."
Su Houli became even more depressed after hearing this.
He thought so too, but Gao Meifeng didn't think so. He was really in a dilemma.
"I understand. It was Gao Meifeng who asked you to divorce." Su Xiumei was also a woman. Women understand women best. She knew Gao Meifeng very well. "She was probably worried that you would forget about her after becoming deputy factory director, so she urged you to do that."
"Yes and no," Su Houli said hesitantly, "We are just considering the problem from our own perspective. She has her own ideas too. When two people are together, I can't just think about myself."
"You don't have to speak for her. I don't know her little tricks..." Su Xiumei actually looked down on Gao Meifeng. It was Gao Meifeng who took the initiative to show her kindness, and that's how they started interacting. Now seeing Su Houli's hesitation, she knew what was going on. "If she really cared about you, she wouldn't rush you at this time. You still don't understand her."
The topic has reached a dead end again.
Su Houli stopped talking and said he had something to do at work, so he left first.
As soon as he got downstairs, he saw Liang Kun coming back on a motorcycle. When he saw Su Houli, Liang Kun took off his helmet, tossed his hair, and grinned, "Uncle, did you get your salary?"
Su Houli: “…”
He knew that this kid was a bad guy and not a good person.
"Uncle, I heard you're getting a divorce to marry that mistress?" Liang Kun was bringing up all sorts of issues, making Su Houli so angry that he didn't even say a word. He pushed his bicycle away, and Liang Kun shouted behind him, "Uncle, be kind. Don't forget to give Jiao Jiao living expenses."
Su Houli swore secretly.
He would never come to their house again.
After Su Houli left, Xu Yuxiang sighed, "I didn't expect that Jiaojiao would actually control Houli. She told him not to tell Chen Guilan, and he really didn't mention it. That damn girl is really arrogant."
"Su Jiaojiao is completely different now, like a completely different person." Su Xiumei empathized with this point. "I think Houli's marriage won't be easily divorced."
"If he can't bring himself to do it, I'll go talk to Chen Guilan." At this point, Xu Yuxiang lost her temper. "I just can't stand seeing that damn girl taking control of the generous gift."
"Oh, Mom, you'd better not get involved in this." Su Xiumei was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and stopped her, "Just listen to me, just pretend you don't know anything about this."
As the mother and the daughter were talking, Liang Kun walked in from outside. He greeted Xu Yuxiang politely and asked Su Xiumei, "What did my uncle come here for?"
"Nothing." Su Xiumei didn't want to tell him about Su Houli. Liang Kun smiled and said, "I thought he came to pay me back!"
Su Xiumei was speechless for a moment.
Xu Yuxiang didn't expect Liang Kun to say that. Seeing that Su Xiumei didn't say anything, she didn't know what to say, so she just shut up tactfully.
"Mom, you must remember that my uncle owes me money, otherwise I will go to their unit to ask for it. That's my monthly salary." Liang Kun said and went into the house. Yes, he did it on purpose to embarrass them.
