Chapter 190 You two brothers are really interesting
At the brigade headquarters, Song Xingzhi was packing his things, preparing to go home after get off work.
As soon as he stepped out of his office, he saw Zhong Chengfa and Li Hongjuan walk into the brigade headquarters one after the other.
Li Hongjuan looked somewhat embarrassed, while Zhong Chengfa had a sullen face and still owed Zhong Hongqing money.
Song Xingzhi pretended not to see it and prepared to leave without even saying hello.
Zhong Chengfa, however, gave Song Xingzhi a forced smile: "Director Song... you're off work?"
Since everyone else had spoken up, Song Xingzhi couldn't pretend he hadn't seen it, so he nodded slightly and said, "Mm."
Zhong Chengfa still wanted to leave a good impression on his mother, so he quickly said, "Director Song, I...I'm here to divorce Li Hongjuan!"
Song Xingzhi was stunned.
He stopped and looked Zhong Chengfa up and down: "Divorce?"
"We're doing just fine, why get a divorce?"
“No good, what’s good about her?” Zhong Chengfa made no attempt to hide his complaints about Li Hongjuan in front of Song Xingzhi. “Li Hongjuan is lazy, greedy, doesn’t like to work, and likes to subsidize her family…”
"I'm only getting a divorce because I simply can't take it anymore."
He had expected Song Xingzhi to offer some insights, such as "You've finally figured it out" or "Your mother will definitely be happy to hear this news," but Song Xingzhi simply nodded again.
"oh."
Zhong Chengfa: "..."
He was still somewhat unwilling to give up: "Director Song, is that all you wanted to say?"
Song Xingzhi raised an eyebrow: "What else?"
But then he seemed to remember something: "Oh right, there is something I really need to tell you."
Zhong Chengfa's eyes immediately lit up, just like a student waiting for a teacher's praise.
Song Xingzhi said calmly, "Old Liu, who's in charge of registering marriages and divorces, is already packing his things. If you keep lingering here, he might go home soon..."
"Then you'll have to come back tomorrow."
Zhong Chengfa: "..."
Depend on!
He quickly turned around and ran to the office next door.
Li Hongjuan looked at Song Xingzhi, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
She didn't know what she wanted to say to Song Xingzhi, but she just wanted to say something, yet she didn't know what to say.
Song Xingzhi didn't even glance at her, turned around, got on his bicycle, and left the brigade headquarters.
Zhong Chengfa turned his head and saw Li Hongjuan still standing there staring at Song Xingzhi. He was immediately furious and shouted, "Li Hongjuan! We're not divorced yet! How can you stare at another man like that! Have you no shame!"
His voice was loud, and the cadres in the brigade headquarters and other villagers also came over out of curiosity.
Li Hongjuan realized that everyone's eyes were on her, and she felt both ashamed and annoyed.
"Zhong Chengfa! You shameless bastard! What nonsense are you spouting!"
Zhong Chengfa sneered, "I have no shame? You think you have any shame if you stare at other men's backs?"
He said impatiently, "Hurry up and get the paperwork done! Once it's done, you can keep an eye on whoever you want!"
Li Hongjuan stomped her foot in anger and went into the office as well.
Old Liu had just finished packing up and was about to leave work when Zhong Chengfa and Li Hongjuan came in, and his face immediately fell.
"Everyone's off work already, why are you only arriving now!"
Zhong Chengfa immediately put on a fawning smile: "Uncle Liu, please help me! Please help me! We usually don't have time either! We have to go to work!"
Old Liu put down what he was holding, took out his tools, opened the locked drawer, and asked with a long face, "What do you want?"
Zhong Chengfa immediately declared, "I want a divorce!"
Upon hearing this, Old Liu was stunned: "You want a divorce?"
He clicked his tongue: "Your second son just got married, and you're already getting a divorce?"
Zhong Chengfa was also taken aback when he heard this: "Second brother? He got married? To whom did he marry?"
"Oh, Meng Wanshu from the grain and oil station in town," Old Liu said casually, then looked at Zhong Chengfa with some curiosity, "She didn't even tell you about her wedding?"
"Aren't you his older brother?"
Zhong Chengfa forced a smile: "He's my older brother..."
"That brat hasn't come back since the family split up... I don't even know when he started dating someone..."
Old Liu couldn't help but click his tongue: "Your family is quite torn apart..."
Zhong Chengfa pursed his lips and remained silent.
Old Liu could tell that Zhong Chengfa wasn't happy, so he smiled faintly and said, "Alright! I guess I was just being nosy!"
"Hurry up and get the paperwork done! I need to get back for dinner!"
Eager to leave work, Lao Liu quickly completed the formalities, gave each of them a certificate, then hurriedly packed his things, locked the drawer, chased the two out of the office, locked the door, and left on his own.
After sending the message, Zhong Cheng didn't look at Li Hongjuan again, and turned to leave with Zhong Hongqing in his arms.
Looking at the certificate in her hand, Li Hongjuan felt a little uneasy.
Getting divorced means she has to go back to her parents' home...
It's alright, she can just find someone else to marry later! She's not even twenty-four yet, why would she worry about not finding a good family to marry into?
These days, no woman worries about getting married!
But her things are still at home, so she has to go back and pack them!
After riding his bicycle to the county town and meeting Zhang Chunxue, Song Xingzhi couldn't wait to tell her about Zhong Chengren and Meng Wanshu getting their marriage certificate and Zhong Chengfa and Li Hongjuan getting their divorce.
Both of these things were quite surprising, but Zhang Chunxue didn't react much, only giving a mocking smile.
"Zhong Chengren and Meng Wanshu... these two are practically tied together!"
She said casually, "I just wonder if their relationship will still be this good after Zhong Chengren's leg is broken!"
Song Xingzhi tilted his head and thought for a moment: "When they came here just now, they were holding hands!"
"Meng Wanshu kept rolling up her sleeves, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't see the gold bracelet on her wrist!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chunxue suddenly realized: "So they came to the county town to buy gold bracelets?"
"Speaking of which, they were in the county town just two hours ago? Zhong Chengren is like a blind man, he's come to my stall again!"
Song Xingzhi was speechless: "He really loves braised food that much?"
However, Song Xingzhi couldn't help but laugh when he imagined Zhong Chengren's reaction after squeezing into the stall and discovering that the person selling braised food was his mother.
After all, he was present when Zhong Chengren caused this trouble last time.
I really thought about how many sad and heartbreaking moments I had to hold back from laughing out loud.
Zhang Chunxue thought for a moment and said, "Probably not! Zhong Chengren doesn't drink much. Zhong Guosheng used to buy braised food to drink with, but he wasn't very interested. Zhong Chengfa likes it more than him."
