Fang Hui adjusted her composure and took the initiative to introduce the two parties: "Ting... Comrade He, Comrade Ye, let me introduce you to Comrade Chen Yonghua. He is the son of County Magistrate Chen of Mishan County."
"Comrade Chen, this is Comrade He Tingjun and his...wife."
Yun Qiao was a little surprised by Chen Yonghua's identity, but this also explained why Fang Hui was willing to sit down and have dinner with him.
She controlled her expression, nodded slightly, and said to him politely, "Hello."
He Tingjun didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to show politeness.
"Hello, hello." Instead, Chen Yonghua was unusually enthusiastic and even invited Yun Qiao and the other man to share the table.
Yun Qiao waved his hand, and He Tingjun refused directly: "No need to bother."
Even though he knew that Chen Yonghua was the son of the county magistrate, He Tingjun had no intention of making friends with him.
Chen Yonghua was not embarrassed and said with a smile that they would have dinner together again next time they had the chance.
Fang Hui had no appetite and put down her chopsticks after eating two bites. Chen Yonghua accommodated her and put down his chopsticks as well.
The two said hello to Yun Qiao and the others and quickly left the state-owned restaurant.
Not long after, He Tingjun and Yun Qiao also finished their meal and left the state-owned restaurant.
Yun Qiao was going to visit Uncle Ye's family at the cannery's staff quarters, and he even packed a portion of braised pork with him.
After getting in the car, she held the lunch box of braised pork and said in a somewhat strange tone, "Did Fang Hui really volunteer to go on a blind date with Comrade Chen Yonghua? Although Comrade Chen Yonghua seems very considerate and accommodating to Comrade Fang Hui, I always feel that Comrade Fang Hui is afraid of him."
He Tingjun turned the steering wheel to reverse and replied, "The Chen family has a bad reputation in Mishan. Fang Hui is afraid that he will become normal."
Yun Qiao was a little surprised: "Do you know this Chen Yonghua?"
"I don't really know him, I just heard about him from others." He Tingjun explained.
The East is Red Company was under the jurisdiction of Mishan County and the Mishan government. He Tingjun had some understanding of the county leaders and knew a little about their private affairs.
Yun Qiao asked curiously, "What's wrong with the Chen family's reputation? Tell me about it."
"He's lustful." He Tingjun said, "I heard that he stole his first wife. They were originally in love with someone and were about to get married, but because she was so beautiful, he fell in love with her at first sight and forcibly snatched her away."
"So, he must still like his original wife. Why did they divorce? And why is he still going on blind dates?"
"They didn't divorce. His first wife died during childbirth," He Tingjun explained. "According to insiders, his first wife died during childbirth because he was angry with her."
Combined with what He Tingjun had said earlier about him being a lecher, Yun Qiao quickly guessed, "Because he's promiscuous?"
"Not only that," He Tingjun said, "but also because he had sex with his sister-in-law. The original wife caught them in bed and fainted on the spot. They were sent to the hospital, one dead and two dead."
“This…” Yun Qiao took a breath of cold air: “Beast!”
He Tingjun said 'hmm'.
He cheated on his sister-in-law and made his pregnant wife so angry that she died. Even the dogs passing by would spit at him when they heard about it.
Yun Qiao felt pity for the innocent woman who had lost her life, and said indignantly, "Doesn't he have any guilt at all? How can he still come out and go on a blind date so brazenly?"
"His father is the county magistrate and has kept the news a secret. Outsiders have no evidence, and the woman's family won't pursue the matter. Furthermore, the woman died of childbirth complications, so he wasn't the direct murderer. How could this child live in peace?"
"Isn't there anyone who cares?" Yun Qiao raged. "Isn't he having affairs with other women? Why doesn't the Revolutionary Committee investigate him?"
"His uncle is the director of the Mishan County Revolutionary Committee. Who would dare to investigate him?"
"Snakes and rats of the same nest!" Yun Qiao gritted his teeth in anger. Thinking of Fang Hui, he said speechlessly, "Chen Yonghua is a rotten man. Why did Fang Hui's family let her go on a blind date with him?"
"Could it be that their family is unaware of Chen Yonghua's problems?"
He Tingjun said, "Of course he knows. Fang Lishan himself works in the Revolutionary Committee. The Gongyuan Revolutionary Committee and the Mishan Revolutionary Committee have a close relationship, with superiors and subordinates. He knows all about this."
"Knowing that Chen Yonghua was dead, they still arranged for Fang Hui to go on a blind date with him. Their family didn't even consider their daughter's happiness! What kind of father are they?" Yun Qiao curled her lips. "Fang Hui is also pitiful. She has to live with such a family."
"Yun Qiao, kindness is your foundation, and empathy is your strength, but sometimes you should not be too sentimental towards others." He Tingjun reminded her: "Fang Hui also has the last name Fang. She is not as simple as you think."
“?” Yun Qiao didn’t quite understand.
He Tingjun explained: "It is rare to emerge from the mud without being stained. Those who keep company with vermilion become rubbish, and those who keep company with ink become black. This is the norm in the world."
