Chapter 86: Parting on good terms
"Sister-in-law is beautiful and looks good in anything she wears." Su Jiaojiao recognized at a glance that the girl was Liang Kun's wife, Su Xiumei's nemesis. She had met her once in her previous life, but they had no intersection. This was the first time they had met face to face.
Liang Kun has good vision.
The girl is tall, fair-skinned and beautiful. She is very beautiful.
"This is my cousin Su Jiaojiao," Liang Kun said to the girl. "She's currently studying at Jiaoxian No. 1 Middle School."
"Hello, cousin." The girl greeted Su Jiaojiao generously with a sweet smile, "I'm Liang Kun's girlfriend, Peng Shumei. Nice to meet you."
"Cousin, where did you find such a good sister-in-law for me? You are so lucky." Su Jiaojiao looked at Peng Shumei with a smile. The future cousin-in-law seemed to have a good family background and her every move was graceful and elegant.
"Hey, it's my colleague from work." Liang Kun scratched his head, remembering that he had confessed his love to Su Jiaojiao not long ago. Now he has a girlfriend so soon, which makes him feel a little embarrassed. He took out his wallet and prepared to pay, "How much is this down jacket?"
"Cousin, this is the first time I meet my sister-in-law, so consider it a gift to her." Su Jiaojiao refused to accept it. She really wanted to give the down jacket to Peng Shumei, but Liang Kun insisted on giving it to her because he knew she needed money for school.
Peng Shumei knew the price of the down jacket. She took Liang Kun's wallet and took out three hundred yuan, giving it to Su Jiaojiao. She smiled and said, "I appreciate your kindness, cousin, but this down jacket is a birthday gift from your cousin. He has to spend money. We have a long way to go. If you find something good in the future, just keep it for me."
"Since this is my cousin's intention for my sister-in-law, I won't refuse." Su Jiaojiao took the money and picked out a short red down jacket. She placed it in front of Peng Shumei and measured it. "Then I'll give this to my sister-in-law as a birthday present. Please don't refuse it."
Last time, Liang Kun vented her anger and specifically told her that Su Houli wanted to divorce.
She had to repay this favor no matter what.
"Thank you, cousin." Peng Shumei said to Liang Kun happily, "Your cousin is so nice."
This short down jacket costs more than a hundred yuan.
My cousin is very generous.
"Thank you, Jiaojiao." Liang Kun was also very happy and laughed, "We still need to buy some other things. Let's eat together when we have time."
"Okay." Su Jiaojiao smiled.
After seeing them off, Chen Guilan asked Su Jiaojiao, "Are all the village affairs settled?"
"Done." Su Jiaojiao picked up the account book and recorded the two down jackets. "I gave all the chickens at home to my cousin to save her the trouble of running back and forth."
"It's fine to give it to her." Chen Guilan nodded. She glanced at Su Jiaojiao, then turned to look outside the door. "Your father came this morning. He wants to go handle the paperwork tomorrow. He also said that the Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed for the holiday."
"Mom, if you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, we can go another day." Su Jiaojiao patted Chen Guilan's hand and comforted her, "No matter what day it is, I will go with you."
"No, I can go by myself." Chen Guilan shook her head, expressionless, "I want to do this myself. You're still young, and I don't want you to go to that kind of place. I'll listen to you on everything else, but you have to listen to me on this one."
"Then I'll wait for you outside and not go in." Su Jiaojiao was still worried, "My dad is leaving the house with nothing. If he changes his mind, just come out and don't sign."
"I know." Chen Guilan's expression was gloomy. "I've thought about it. Instead of living like this, it's better to let him go and part ways amicably."
The Civil Affairs Bureau is not far from Shuangzhu Park.
Su Houli arrived half an hour early and waited for Chen Guilan at the door.
Su Jiaojiao took a taxi and sent Chen Guilan over, then sat in the lobby waiting for her. When Su Houli saw the mother and daughter get out of the taxi, his face darkened. After selling clothes for several days, he didn't even know their last names. Even if he wore a long down jacket, he couldn't look like a city dweller.
They were just getting divorced, and their affairs had nothing to do with him anymore.
But he felt he still had to make it clear to Su Jiaojiao in advance: "We have an agreement in place. The house and land are given to you. I will not pay for any of your expenses in the future, including child support, tuition, and living expenses. These must also be written into the agreement."
"I agree." Su Jiaojiao knew that Su Houli's monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan, and he still owed hundreds of yuan in foreign debt. She would starve to death if she relied on him for child support. "Don't worry, no matter how difficult our lives become, we won't come to you for help. I hope you won't interfere in our lives. As your daughter, I also hope that you will get better and better in the future."
Su Houli found her words particularly harsh and didn't respond to her. He said to Chen Guilan, "Let's go in. I have to go back to work!"
"Jiaojiao, wait for me outside." Chen Guilan didn't look at him and walked in without hesitation.
Su Jiaojiao looked at the two people's backs, feeling depressed and suffocated. She left the hall and stood in front of the green belt at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. She picked up a withered yellow leaf and looked at it carefully. A familiar voice called her from behind: "Su Jiaojiao!"
Su Jiaojiao turned around and saw that it was Chen Yi. She smiled and asked him, "Squad Leader, why are you here?"
"My mother works here." Chen Yi was very surprised to see her. "I didn't bring my key. Come and get it from my mother."
He often goes to the grocery store next to her house to buy vegetables.
Her doors were all locked.
He thought she had returned to her hometown.
Su Jiaojiao said, "Then go in quickly!"
No wonder the family can afford a piano.
The family conditions are really good.
Some people are born in Rome, how lucky they are.
"It's so cold outside, come in and sit for a while!" Chen Yi greeted her. Su Jiaojiao smiled at him and said, "I won't go in. I'll just wait here."
"Then I'll go in first." Chen Yi trotted into the hall. Less than two minutes later, he came out with the key and asked her, "You don't live in the snack street anymore?"
"Yes." Su Jiaojiao replied.
"Sometimes when I go to buy groceries, I find your door locked." Chen Yi looked down at her. She was wearing a long khaki down jacket and had a bun on her hair. She didn't look like the original Su Jiaojiao, but rather looked like the stars on TV. After not seeing her for a few days, she seemed like a different person. He felt that she was familiar yet unfamiliar.
"I'm selling goods at Wujiaohua Company right now," Su Jiaojiao said truthfully. "I'll be back at the snack street in the evening."
"Oh, I compiled a set of math problems and wanted to give them to you." Chen Yi said, perhaps feeling that it was inappropriate, and added, "Everyone in our math group has one."
"Thank you, monitor." Su Jiaojiao understood. She looked at the clean-cut boy in front of her and felt that youth was truly beautiful. "I don't need it. I went to Xinhua Bookstore and bought several sets of math papers. I haven't finished them yet!"
Boys of sixteen or seventeen have pure and passionate feelings.
As a person who has experienced many vicissitudes of life, she cannot provoke others.
