Before two o'clock, Tian Tian appeared at the gate of the Wen family.
"Wen Guo, hurry up and get out! The Civil Affairs Bureau will be closed soon if you don't hurry up. Are you deliberately stalling for time and not daring to divorce me? You're such a coward! You're the worst man in the world!"
She looked at everyone in the Wen family courtyard with disdain.
The Wen family members looked at her with grim expressions.
Even though Wen's mother had wanted to persuade her and Wen Guo just now, she couldn't give Tian Tian a good look.
Thanks to her loud voice, the neighbors around also heard what she said and came out in surprise.
The eldest son of the Wen family and his wife are getting divorced?
What is going on? Why is it so sudden?
Everyone looked at Tian Tian outside, and then at the Wen family inside, with the words curiosity and gossip written all over their faces.
Father Wen frowned and looked at Wen Guo: "Go and take care of things."
Wen Guo nodded, picked up his things, and walked out of the Wen family yard with his bicycle.
Although he felt uncomfortable with the gazes of his neighbors, he had no choice but to face them.
After all, it is impossible to keep this matter secret, so it is better to make it public as soon as possible.
As for the reason for divorce.
He looked at Tian Tian. If she didn't want to speak, he would give her a little mercy.
Tian Tian was not really so shameless. Seeing that everyone was looking at her as if they were watching a big show, she just waved her hands impatiently.
"What are you looking at? What's so good about it? Haven't you seen divorce before? I'm so fed up!"
The people around felt a little embarrassed when they heard what Tian Tian said. They murmured that it was no wonder that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wen family was divorced. Just based on her bad temper, no one would be willing to live with her.
Tian Tian heard this and laughed out of anger.
"I was divorced? I was the one who filed for the divorce, okay? I didn't want him, Wen Guo, anymore!"
Huh?
Is there such a thing?
Although divorce is less common these days, the term is not new.
But isn't divorce usually because the man doesn't want the woman anymore, so he forces her to divorce? How come there are still women who take the initiative to file for divorce? Isn't she afraid that she won't be able to get married after the divorce?
Tian Tian was pleased by the surprised looks of the crowd. She felt that she had surpassed Wen Guo and was very proud of herself.
"I, Tian Tian, am putting this on the line today. I will only live a better life after leaving this incompetent Wen Guo. I will find a better and more capable man. I will definitely not regret it!"
Wen Guo's face darkened. He couldn't stand being ridiculed by Tian Tian in front of so many people, no matter how good his temper was.
He looked at Tian Tian solemnly and swore through gritted teeth: "Okay, then I, Wen Guo, will also put my words here today. I will definitely make a name for myself in the future and marry a wife better than you, so that you, Tian Tian, will regret it for the rest of your life!"
The former couple now made vows to each other in order to prove themselves, and the people around them sighed.
But soon, Wen Guo and Tian Tian left with bated breath and rushed to the town to handle the divorce procedures.
After they left, even if this group of people wanted to watch the fun, they were too embarrassed to go up and ask the Wen family directly, so they dispersed.
However, everyone in the Wen family knew that within a day, the news of the divorce between their eldest son Wen Guo and Tian Tian would spread throughout the entire team.
"Hey, don't go out for the next few days."
Father Wen instructed Mother Wen.
She especially loved going out and chatting with those old ladies. If she went out again after this incident, she would probably become the center of gossip, which would be extremely embarrassing.
Mrs. Wen also had the same idea.
It just so happened that she was trying to see if she could exchange some more money for Wen Wan these days so that she could take her third brother to the county for medical treatment.
Speaking of this, she quickly called Old Man Wen into the house to inform him.
Wen Tai took the two children to the yard to check on the fish that was fed in the basin but not eaten. The third brother Wen Min went back to bed because he was too weak.
Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng were the only ones left in the outer room.
This was the only time in the whole day that Liang Jinheng had time to be alone with his wife Wen Wan.
Even though there was nothing to say, he felt comfortable being with Wen Wan.
Wen Wan suddenly spoke after sitting for a while.
"I plan to go to the county town in a couple of days to see the family housing you mentioned."
Liang Jinheng was stunned for a moment, then immediately nodded after realizing what was happening.
"Okay, I'll go clean the house that day. If I can do it quickly, we can stay there that day."
He was also thinking that the journey was too far, so he might as well leave the two children, Da Wa and Er Niu, at his parents-in-law's house and let them take care of them for two days. Then he and Wen Wan would have a chance to be alone together, and maybe even have the chance to sleep in the same bed with his wife!
Wen Wan didn't think too much about it. She just felt that Liang Jinheng didn't know how hard it was to clean up the house. She said unhappily, "How can we finish putting away so many things in one day?"
It's so easy to say.
Seeing that she didn't explicitly refuse, Liang Jinheng immediately said, "Don't worry, daughter-in-law, I'm the best at housekeeping, just leave it to me!"
Wen Wan looked at him strangely. Why was he so enthusiastic about cleaning the house?
But since he is willing to do it, that would be the best. She probably won't be free by then anyway.
After all, she had more to do than just checking the house when she went to the county town. She also had to -
"When we go to the county town, I also plan to take my third brother to the hospital for a checkup. A friend of mine also has something to do and should go with us."
Liang Jinheng, who was just excited about being able to spend a day or two alone with his wife, said: "......"
His expression suddenly dropped.
Wen Wan frowned when she saw this.
"Why, you don't want me to take my brother with me?"
"Of course not!" Liang Jinheng waved his hands quickly, not daring to let Wen Wan think too much.
Seeing that he really didn't seem to be lying, Wen Wan asked suspiciously, "Then what was that expression on your face just now?"
Liang Jinheng touched his nose embarrassedly and thought to himself, "Didn't I just want to do this and that with you?"
But he would definitely get beaten if he said that, so he could only find a vague excuse.
"I'm thinking about how to stay when the time comes. I'm worried that the guesthouse will be too crowded and difficult to stay in."
This is indeed a problem.
Wen Wan thought about it, and finally said: "Didn't you say you could finish the house in one day? Then just work harder."
Liang Jinheng: “….”
Okay, I can’t take back what I said, but I can’t let my wife look down on me!
As for Lin Cuicui, she would go over to take a look when she got home and ask her if she had gotten any information about the man from her parents.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Wen Guo and Tian Tian finally came back.
The two parted ways at the entrance of the village and returned to their own homes.
The moment they turned around and walked away with their backs to each other, there was no longer any relationship between them.
When Wen Guo returned home, his family members hurried to greet him and ask what happened.
He smiled at everyone, took out his divorce certificate, and said with relief: "Divorced, nothing happened."
"Well, it's better to get divorced, it's better to get divorced."
Mother Wen patted his arm, cheered herself up and said, "Let's live a good life in the future. I will try to find you a better wife!"
Wen Guo nodded, as if to agree, but in fact he was thinking that he might not consider getting married in the next two years.
What he said in front of Tian Tian in the afternoon was not really to save face, but he really wanted to make a career for himself and make some changes.
In fact, Tian Tian was right. If he continues to be as useless and incompetent as he is now, I'm afraid no good woman will marry him.
So he must strive to make a career!
It was getting late, and Wen's mother and the others had wanted to invite Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng to have dinner, but Wen Wan took a look at the sky and was afraid that it would be dark before they could get home after dinner, so she had to regretfully decline.
Anyway, she will come to pick up the third brother in two days, so she can still have dinner.
Only then did Mother Wen and Father Wen reluctantly bid them farewell.
Liang Jinheng got on his bicycle and was about to go home with his children and wife, just like he did in the morning. But just as he was about to leave the Wen family's yard, Wen Wan tugged at his clothes and said quickly, "Don't leave in a hurry. Turn the corner and I'll go find someone."
Although Liang Jinheng was puzzled, he obediently turned his bicycle in the direction Wen Wan said.
Wen Wan asked him to stop not far from the Lin family and wait for her there for a while, while she hurried to the door of the Lin family and called Lin Cuicui a few times.
Lin Cuicui came out soon, and the two of them chatted for a few minutes. Wen Wan then learned that Lin Cuicui's parents had agreed to let her meet that man in the afternoon.
"The 20th of the twelfth lunar month, right? Okay, then we'll meet in town and go to the county seat together."
Lin Cuicui nodded and said gratefully again: "Thank you, Wanwan."
"It's okay, go back. Don't think too much about it for the next two days. We'll see what happens that day."
After parting with Lin Cuicui, Wen Wan got back on the bicycle and told Liang Jinheng that he could go home.
The two of them were talking at a distance from Liang Jinheng, so he didn't really hear anything, only heard something about the twentieth day of the twelfth lunar month.
"What should we do on the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month?"
Wen Wan was stunned for a moment, muttering, "You have really sharp ears," and then perfunctorily said, "Why are you prying into our affairs? Just ride your bike!"
All right.
Liang Jinheng could only shut his mouth and watch the sky getting darker and darker, so he simply pedaled hard to get home early.
Thanks to Liang Jinheng's unremitting efforts, they finally returned home before the last ray of sunlight set.
The lights in the Liang family's main house were still on, and the sound of moving things could be faintly heard. They were probably rushing to pack up within the one-day time that Wen Wan had mentioned.
Wen Wan had no sympathy for this. After she got home and put her things down, she took out some food and prepared to cook.
Liang Jinheng went to the kitchen to help her, while the two children played obediently in the house.
They are both sensible and would not cause trouble or do anything dangerous for no reason.
Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng were cooking and lighting the fire respectively. Since it was getting late, they thought of making some noodles and going to bed early.
However, just as the dough was being kneaded, Erniu's crying and Da Wa's shouting were suddenly heard from the other room.
"That's our stuff, you're not allowed to take it, you're not allowed to take it!"
When Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng heard the voice, their expressions changed and they quickly put down what they were holding and ran into the house.
As soon as I walked into their house, I saw Liang Hongling taking things out like crazy.
What he was holding were some food, which Liang Jinheng had found from the cabinet of the old couple in the Liang family.
Wen Wan just took some food out to cook and forgot to put it away, so it was left on the table.
She knew that the two children would not destroy anything, so she did not take it. She did not expect Liang Hongling to break in.
Seeing this, Liang Jinheng's face darkened. He walked up to Liang Hongling, snatched the thing from her hand, and scolded her angrily.
"Liang Hongling, are you crazy?"
How dare you go straight into his house and steal things!
Liang Hongling was indeed crazy. She spent a whole day and night unable to accept the fact that she would end up living in a shabby little house with her parents!
Not only did she lose her big house, but her parents' money was also taken away by Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng. Even if she wanted to buy a job in the future, she wouldn't be able to do so!
What else can she do in the future? Does she really have to stay at home and farm like all the other women in the countryside?
She didn't agree!
She wouldn't agree!
When she heard the news that Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan had returned, she wanted to come over and beg for mercy, asking her brother not to be so cruel.
She felt that she was his sister after all, so how could she not help her sister when she was so pitiful?
But when she came in, Liang Jinheng and Wen Wan were in the kitchen, and there were only two little ones, Da Wa and Er Niu, in the room.
When they saw her come in, both Da Wa and Er Niu felt as if they were facing a great enemy. Er Niu didn't dare to speak, but still couldn't help looking at her, with diswelcome written all over her little face.
The eldest child was even more obvious. He said angrily that this was their house and he didn't want his aunt to come in!
Wen Wan and Liang Jinheng did not say too much to Da Wa and Er Niu about the division of the family property. After all, they would not understand if they talked too much. However, there was one thing that Wen Wan emphasized several times.
She said, "From now on, our family will be separated from my grandparents, my second uncle, and my aunt's family. You must remember not to enter their houses or take their things without permission."
Of course, grandparents can’t just take things from their house.
Da Wa and Er Niu understood what was said. Their things would be theirs from now on and would no longer belong to their grandparents, their uncle, and their aunt!
So when Liang Hongling came in, Da Wa and Er Niu became particularly alert.
Da Wa wanted to hide the things on the table at that time, but Liang Hongling was an adult after all, and she was faster.
When she saw so many delicious things on the table, and thought about what kind of mushy food she and her parents had eaten in the past two days, the resentment in her heart suddenly overflowed.
Why do they have to clean the house without any rest, and eat some watery food without even a hint of oil? And Wen Wan's heartless family has hidden so many good things!
She is unwilling to accept it, she is unwilling to accept it!
In a fit of rage, Liang Hongling snatched the thing away and headed towards her parents' room.
But before he could run out the door, he was caught.
Liang Jinheng's face looked very ugly. After glaring at Liang Hongling, he went to check on Erniu. Seeing that nothing happened to her and she was just scared, he breathed a sigh of relief.
After checking the condition of the two children, Wen Wan walked angrily to Liang Hongling, picked up a broom and hit Liang Hongling's palm hard.
He beat her and scolded her at the same time.
"Big Boy and Second Girl, watch this! If you dare to be so rude as to steal other people's things, this is what will happen. Whichever hand you steal with will get the beating!"
Wen Wan hit Liang Hongling with great force. Liang Hongling was hit twice before she could react, and she screamed in pain.
She quickly withdrew her hand and saw that her palm immediately turned red and hot, swollen from being beaten!
"Wen Wan, you crazy woman, are you sick? If you dare to hit me, I will tell my parents!"
Wen Wan sneered. Seeing that she had put her hands away, she didn't intend to stop and simply hit Liang Hongling directly.
"Go ahead and call him. If you have the guts, call the captain over too. Let him come and judge who's right and who's wrong! No matter how hard you try, no one can be right for stealing!"
Liang Hongling immediately became timid when she heard this. After what happened yesterday, she was afraid that the team leader and the branch secretary must have been dissatisfied with her family for a long time. How could they stand on her side?
So Liang Hongling could only swallow her anger.
Seeing that Wen Wan was not going to stop and Liang Jinheng was watching from the side, she could only hide and run miserably.
"Just wait for me, I won't let this go!"
He spoke so arrogantly, but the man had already disappeared.
Wen Wan put down the broom and breathed slightly.
You know what, exercising late at night is quite tiring.
When she turned around, she saw the father and his two sons next to her looking at her with their mouths slightly open and the same shocked expression.
Wen Wan felt inexplicably embarrassed and said with a fierce face, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen people being beaten?"
Big Baby shook his head, and his expression when he looked at Wen Wan suddenly became one of admiration.
"Mom, you're so awesome! I want to learn how to fight from you in the future!"
Wen Wan: “….”
She gritted her teeth: "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat!"
Liang Jinheng also came back to his senses, glanced at the broom in Wen Wan's hand, and then recalled his wife's "heroic" behavior just now. For some reason, he suddenly felt a chill on his back.
His wife seems to have really changed.
At least before, she wouldn't hit anyone even if she was angry.
He was really afraid that one day he would offend Wen Wan and she would beat him up too.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the broom from Wen Wan's hand and put it away carefully.
"Next time, let me do the rough work. Don't hurt your hands!"
Wen Wan snorted coldly: "Are you afraid that I will hurt your sister?"
"How is that possible!" Liang Jinheng said seriously, "What she did was wrong in the first place. You are teaching her a lesson."
When Wen Wan heard him say this, she didn't say anything. She just asked Liang Jinheng to stay in the house while she went to the kitchen to cook alone.
She was afraid that someone would come and do something while they were away.
However, Wen Wan still felt uncomfortable while cooking. They still had to stay at home for at least three or four days. If Liang Hongling and the others came to make trouble every day, even if they couldn't make any progress in the end, it would still be really annoying.
So Wen Wan felt that she had to think of a way to make Old Man Liang and Liang Hongling and the others not even have the courage to come find them!
Now, the only people who can intimidate them are probably the team leader and the branch secretary.
In the end, Wen Wan simply decided to go to the branch secretary early tomorrow morning to discuss the matter of renting a house. The better it could be done, so as to avoid Liang Hongling and the others making trouble!
Wen Wan got up early the next morning.
She made some food early in the morning. Last night, she quickly told Liang Jinheng about the house rental. Liang Jinheng had no objection to it. Only then did Wen Wan feel at ease to go to the brigade headquarters to discuss the matter with the brigade cadres.
