008.
As soon as Song Chunman left, Song Zhiqiang turned around and slapped Song Yushan in anger, "It's all your fault. Now I'm not only threatened, but I've also lost 20,000 yuan!"
Song Yushan was so dizzy from the slap that her eyes were blurry and her mouth was bleeding, but how could she dare to say anything at this time?
Liu Yongli, who was standing by, felt incredibly distressed as she watched her daughter. However, she could only angrily say, "It was Song Chunman who asked you for money, and it was also her who threatened you. If you want to blame someone, blame her. Why did she hit Yushan?"
Song Zhiqiang pointed at Song Yushan and gritted his teeth, "If she hadn't caused all this, would Chunman have become like this?"
"What's so good about that Sun Wenbin? How dare you get involved with someone like him? He's still your brother-in-law. Even if you have no shame, we still want you."
Song Yushan actually wanted to tell them that the child was not Sun Wenbin's, but Xie Jinhe's.
Xie's father works in the municipal government. Xie Jinhe is the only son in their family and she is a college classmate. She originally thought that Xie Jinhe really liked her, but she didn't know that he was just playing with her, looked down on her at all, and refused to acknowledge the child.
She didn't want to abort the child and was thinking of waiting until the child was older before looking for the Xie family, but she really couldn't find anyone to take over.
She knew that Sun Wenbin had always liked her, so she could only rely on him!
Of course, Song Yushan doesn’t dare to say these things now.
"Dad, I was wrong." Song Yushan said with red eyes, "Please help me this time. The child is still young, and I can't go to jail."
Liu Yongli had the same idea as Song Zhiqiang, but at this time she could only say, "Old Song, it's already happened. What's the point of blaming her? You should find a way to resolve the matter quickly."
Song Zhiqiang was now deeply regretful. Why had he given Yushan an apology letter when Song Chunman had asked her to? If he hadn't given it to her, how could he have any evidence against her now?
But there was no use regretting it, right now she could only find a way to raise the money.
On this side, after Song Chunman came out of the Song family, it was almost time to go to work, so she went straight to the workshop.
She had been lucky these past two days and things were going relatively smoothly. She was in a good mood and it felt like the afternoon at work had passed in a flash.
She got off work and had just finished lunch with her children when she saw Yang, the real estate agent who had gone out to look for a house yesterday at noon, come to the guesthouse to find her. She said she had found a few houses for her and wanted to take her to see them.
Although it was a little late, the days were long and it was not yet dark, so Song Chunman immediately took her children with her to look at the house.
Sister Yang told her that there were three houses, two tube-shaped buildings and one bungalow.
The tube-shaped building was a little far away from them, so the three of them went to see it first. The houses were all single rooms. Although the environment inside was okay, the environment outside was not so good.
The corridors of the tube-shaped building were so narrow that two people had to turn sideways to pass each other. The walls were mottled and chipped, and coal stoves and pickle jars from each household were piled in the corners. The greasy air was mixed with coal smoke, the smell of rotten food and urine, and the water stains were sticky when stepped on, which was really uncomfortable to look at.
Song Chunman directly rejected these two houses, and Sister Yang didn't expect her to decide on one right away. Then the three of them went to see the bungalow together.
The bungalow is in an alley in the old city, which is relatively close to them. The surrounding environment is very good, with schools, department stores and hospitals.
The house is also nice. Although it only has two bedrooms and a living room, it is not small and can be converted into three bedrooms. It is also very clean. The only bad thing is that there is no independent toilet.
Even so, she is much better off than the tube-shaped building over there.
Song Chunman was delighted. "That's great. How much does the landlord want per month?"
Sister Yang smiled and said, "This is a bit expensive, fifteen yuan a month."
"So expensive?" Song Chunman stared slightly.
Sister Yang nodded. "Look, this house is nice, isn't it? The surrounding environment is good, and most importantly, it's close to where you work."
The house and location are both good, but the problem is that it is a bit expensive. Now their workers' average monthly salary is only 35 yuan, and she has rich work experience and only earns 38 yuan a month. If she really rents it, the cost of the house will account for one-third of her monthly salary.
Although she will be rich soon, she tries to save as much as possible.
"Can it be less?" she asked with a smile.
Sister Yang was a little embarrassed, but she told the truth, "He originally wanted 18 a month, but then I said it was too high, so he agreed to 15 a month. It can't be any less, otherwise he would just leave it there and not rent it."
Song Chunman liked this house. She was about to divorce Sun Wenbin and urgently needed a house. If she looked for another one, she might not find one that suited her so well.
"How about you try asking the landlord for me?" she said with a kind smile.
Sister Yang laughed. "Aren't you trying to embarrass me? That single room in the tube building is only seven yuan, and you're not happy about it."
The environment in the tube-shaped building was too bad, and Song Chunman was with her child, so she really didn't want to live there.
After hesitating for a moment, she asked, "How about you help me make an appointment with the landlord, and I can talk to him myself?"
Sister Yang was stunned for a moment. "He's very busy at work. If you go to him to ask for a lower rent, it might be difficult to get an appointment."
"It's okay, just ask him to come and sign the contract, and I'll talk to him then." Song Chunman said. If they really couldn't reach an agreement, then they would have to bear the pain and rent it.
Sister Yang hesitated for a moment, thinking, wouldn't this mean she could trick the landlord into coming here? That didn't seem right.
Before she could respond, the little girl beside her took Sister Yang's hand and said in a baby voice, "Okay, Auntie, please make the appointment for my mother."
Seeing the delicate little girl looking at her eagerly and even pulling her hand to act coquettishly, Sister Yang couldn't bear it any longer. "Okay, then I'll try to contact him tomorrow morning. If it works, I'll come back to see you."
"Thank you, Sister Yang." Song Chunman said with a smile.
After finishing her morning shift the next day, Song Chunman returned to the guesthouse with her lunch box. Her child was playing at the front desk. When she asked the front desk, she learned that Sister Yang had not come to see her that morning.
But that's normal. It's only been half a day, and it probably won't be easy for the landlord to make an appointment.
She took the child back to the room, and after the mother and daughter finished their meal, she went back to the staff quarters to find Sun Wenbin.
Before she could speak after entering the room, Zhang Cuihua smiled and said, "Chun Man, you're here. Come and sit down."
Zhang Cuihua has never been in a good mood towards Song Chunman, but now she is smiling, which must be bad news.
Song Chunman said directly: "No need, I'm here to get the money today. After I get the money, Sun Wenbin and I will go to get the divorce certificate."
She was so impatient that it felt like she was throwing away some garbage, which made Sun Wenbin very unhappy. "The money hasn't been collected yet, give me two more days."
Song Chunman narrowed her eyes slightly and laughed, "Sun Wenbin, we agreed to get the money today, but you're dragging it out. Are you really reluctant to let me get a divorce?"
Sun Wenbin didn't really want to divorce, but when he heard her say that he couldn't bear to leave her, he immediately became anxious, "Do you think six thousand yuan is sixty? You can just take it when I say so?"
After that, he went into the room, took out a wad of money, and put it on the table. "Here are three thousand and two. I'll give you the rest tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Song Chunman picked up the money and counted it carefully. It was indeed three thousand two.
Zhang Cuihua, who was watching from the side, was heartbroken and could not help but say, "Chun Man, why don't you just take this money? It's enough. I'm still taking medicine, and Hongxia is going to take the college entrance examination soon. Everything costs money, and we really can't get that much together."
"It's none of my business." Song Chunman raised her eyes slightly and looked at her. "You're still short of 1,800 yuan. Pay it tomorrow. Otherwise, I'll not only give the evidence to the factory leaders, but also to the Public Security Bureau, and I'll accuse you of hooliganism!"
After saying that, he left without caring about the mother and son's expressions.
She went to the bank to deposit the money before returning to work at the factory.
She was about to get divorced, but she didn't know if she could make an appointment with the landlord. If she couldn't rent a house, she would have nowhere to put her dowry, which made Song Chunman feel a little anxious.
But she had already figured out how to negotiate with the landlord this afternoon.
When it was time to get off work in the afternoon, the security office at the factory gate called the workshop and said that someone named Yang was looking for her.
Song Chunman knew who it was, so she asked for leave from get off work immediately. As soon as she walked out of the factory gate, she saw Sister Yang.
Sister Yang said excitedly, "Hurry up, the landlord is here, if you're late he'll leave."
Not knowing when she would be back in the evening, Song Chunman immediately went back to the guesthouse, took her child with her, and then rode a bicycle with Sister Yang to look at houses.
After about ten minutes, the three of them arrived at their destination.
The door of the house was open. When Sister Yang entered and saw no one, she quickly called out, "Comrade Gu Tingzhou, I'm here with someone."
Just a moment after she finished speaking, a tall man walked out of the master bedroom.
When their eyes met, Song Chunman was a little surprised. Isn't this... the man she bumped into at the hotel entrance with her daughter the day before yesterday?
