Shen Huanxi was also a thin-skinned person. She couldn't retaliate against the old woman who was making such a fuss.
"You get up first. If you have something to say, just tell me directly. Don't talk about nonsense." Shen Huanxi pulled his foot back.
If there weren't so many people watching, she might have kicked him.
Yao Cuihong sat on the ground and wiped her tears.
"Didn't Shenghui beat someone up? He was put in jail and is still in the detention center. He is your ex-husband after all, and you are now a city dweller. For the sake of our past friendship, can you help him and our Feng family?"
"Got in?" Shen Huanxi suddenly felt happy.
That’s right. The police went to the village that day. Chen Fugui is still in the hospital now. It seems that he was seriously injured. At that time, Chen Fugui was still a public servant. Even if he hadn’t been promoted to a regular employee, he was still considered a half-public servant…
Yao Cuihong nodded.
"Yes, he has been in prison. You know that he is the only child of our Feng family in this generation. You must save him. You are from the city and you have connections. I have also asked around. You can get him out for 800 yuan..."
"So you're here to ask me for money?" Shen Huanxi frowned. This was not the first time that Yao Cuihong asked her for money.
When Yao Cuihong heard her say this, she cried even louder and came up to hug her legs again.
"Huanxi, don't say such harsh words. Why are you asking you for money? You are going to save people. Huanxi, you must save Shenghui. If I had no other choice, I would not come to you.
Think about it, your parents died when you were young, and it was our Feng family who was willing to marry you so that you could have a family. We didn't say anything to you when you couldn't give birth to a son over the years.
You also know that rural people cannot hold their heads up or stand straight without a son. Over the years, because of your poor pregnancy, many people in the village have gossiped about us.
You got divorced and married someone else, and Shenghui didn't say anything. How many men would be willing to remarry the woman they once married? Did he stop you?
After you married and moved to the city, we helped you clean your parents' house out of consideration for our past friendship. Please remember our past friendship and help them.
He was just angry that day and did something stupid. He didn’t do it on purpose. Now his child is still waiting for him at home. The child can’t be without a father, and I can’t be without a son either…”
Yao Cuihong said these words to Shen Huanxi, but as if she was afraid that others couldn't hear her, she shouted at the top of her voice. More and more people from the neighbors came over to watch.
The incident of Feng Shenghui beating Chen Fugui caused a big stir. Many people even went to the Sanbei Command to get brochures for gossip. Now, after hearing the old lady shouting like that, they realized that the man who beat people was Shen Huanxi's ex-husband.
How could this be allowed? After finally getting so close to gossip, everyone started talking about it.
The men all said they could understand Feng Shenghui and that if they were in his shoes they would also beat someone up.
The women said all kinds of things, some said Feng Shenghui was impulsive, and some said Feng Shenghui was unlucky.
But no matter whether they were men or women, no matter what they said, they all felt a little sympathy towards Feng Shenghui.
Yao Cuihong cried and shouted, but she was listening to the discussions of people around her. When she saw that everyone sympathized with Feng Shenghui, she tried even harder to beg Shen Huanxi for money.
Shen Huanxi kicked the old woman away when she was not paying attention, turned around and walked quickly back to Xiao's house. With a "clang", he closed the big iron gate of Xiao's yard and locked it from the inside.
Yao Cuihong quickly ran over, but the door was locked and she couldn't get in, so she knelt in front of the Xiao family's iron gate and cried.
"Huanxi, why are you so heartless? Huanxi, aren't you watching someone die without helping him? Are you just watching the father of your two children being locked up in a detention center?"
"Divorce doesn't mean we have to become enemies. We don't consider you as an enemy. How can you be so heartless and ungrateful?"
"Wouldn't Chang'an and Changning be sad when they came back and found out that their biological father was locked up? Whatever conflicts you had in the past are between you and your wife, and you can't take your anger out on Chang'an and Changning."
"Huanxi, can't you have mercy on an old woman like me? My son has been locked up, and I'm an old woman alone at home. You're the only one who can help me. Please help me for the sake of Chang'an and Changning."
…
Yao Cuihong shouted in a variety of ways.
Today she had specially worn a linen dress that had been washed so white that you couldn't tell its original color, and she had taken off all her gold and silver bracelets and gold and silver rings.
Not long after the reform and opening up, Shen Huanxi went out to do business and often bought fine clothes and fabrics for the family. When did Yao Cuihong start wearing such old clothes all these years?
The clothes she was wearing were several years old and were wrinkled because they were stuck at the bottom of the closet.
She was just pretending to be pitiful.
But the onlookers didn't think so. When they saw that she had white hair, was wearing shabby clothes, and was crying so miserably, they felt pity for her.
Some men have already put themselves in Feng Shenghui's shoes and helped Yao Cuihong shout into the Xiao family's yard.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, look at how pitiful your ex-mother-in-law was. Now that you have a job and live in such a big yard, you must be quite capable, so just help her."
"Your ex-husband didn't mean it. All men get angry in that situation. Just understand and help him."
There are also men who want to help Yao Cuihong.
But Yao Cuihong was pretending to be pitiful, so how could she be willing to get up?
Shen Huanxi heard what the men said in the room and couldn't help feeling angry.
It turns out that it is impossible for a man to really help a woman. These men even morally blackmailed her.
She walked out of the house.
"You need to understand clearly. Look at the date on the photo in the brochure. The photo was taken in June this year. At that time, Feng Shenghui and I had not yet divorced, and Feng Shenghui had already started dating Li Cuixiang. Now, Old Lady Yao has the nerve to come to me for help!"
After hearing what she said, the women asked people around them if anyone had the brochure. Someone happened to have one, and when they took a look, it turned out to be the one.
Yao Cuihong tried hard to squeeze out tears.
"Yes, Shenghui is sorry for you, but you have remarried now and you are living a good life. Can you please not mention the past? Can you help me, an old woman, just help me..."
The men helped Yao Cuihong again and did not take Feng Shenghui's affair seriously at all.
"Comrade Xiao Shen, you can't just look at the past. Look at how pitiful your aunt is now. Just help her."
"Huanxi, Huanxi!" Yao Cuihong pulled the door of Xiao's house. "Huanxi, I watched you grow up, and I know you are kind-hearted. People in the village always say you are kind-hearted. You don't want to change their view of you, so that they will say you are heartless and ungrateful in the future, right? Huanxi..."
Shen Huanxi sneered in her heart. Is Yao Cuihong threatening her?
Those men are still helping Yao Cuihong commit moral kidnapping.
She walked to the door, unfolded the paper in her hand and held it up.
"If I'm willing to help, I have to have the skills. Look at what this is." Shen Huanxi shouted to the men who had just helped Yao Cuihong.
Now both men and women ran over and looked at what she was holding.
Only upon closer inspection did I realize that it was a "divorce agreement".
It is the divorce agreement between Shen Huanxi and Feng Shenghui.
"Comrade Xiao Shen left the house with nothing?"
"Oh, it's true. All the properties and family savings were given to Feng Shenghui."
"Yes, then Comrade Xiao Shen didn't ask for anything, so where did she get the money to give to her ex-mother-in-law?"
"Ah, asking Xiao Shen to leave the house without paying a penny, the Feng family is capable of doing such a thing."
"It would be fine if you had done it, but now you have the nerve to ask Xiao Shen for money. How can Xiao Shen afford it?"
…
Several women spoke in surprise and looked at the men who had just helped Yao Cuihong.
"You men are so eager to help Feng Shenghui, do you also want to cheat?"
"Men are unreliable. Women get angry when they see men cheating, but men want to help when they see men cheating. No wonder the saying goes, if men are reliable, sows will climb trees."
"You men are just as annoying as this old woman."
…
After being confronted by women, men dare not say anything.
Wei Zhenzhen and Nie Dongxiang happened to be selling soybeans nearby. When they heard the commotion, they ran over to see what was going on. After learning the whole story, they were very angry and couldn't help but speak up for Shen Huanxi.
"Huanxi used to work with us in the state-owned hotel. She also carried a load on her shoulders and sold things in the streets with us. She got up earlier than chickens and went to bed later than dogs. She gave all her earnings back to the Feng family, divorced and left the house. Now, old lady of the Feng family, what qualifications do you have to ask Huanxi for money?"
"It was the Feng family who forced her to leave the house, and now they want her to help. She has to come up with money! Before the divorce, Feng Shenghui often came to the city and forced Huanxi to give him money. Sometimes Huanxi didn't have enough money and had to borrow from us. Why, now that we're divorced, he still wants to suck Huanxi's blood?"
After listening to Wei Zhenzhen and Nie Dongxiang, the women who came to watch became angry.
Men cannot understand women, and not many men will sincerely help women, but women will.
The angry women surrounded Yao Cuihong and started cursing at her.
"You old woman, how can you still be so evil at such an old age? You are half-dead and still doing such immoral things. Aren't you afraid of going to hell after you die?"
"You damn old woman! If you are such a good singer, why don't you go to the stage to sing? Why are you pretending here? Do you want those stupid men to help you? We are not so easily fooled by you. Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
"I think your son's imprisonment is God's will! He is punishing you. This is your retribution in this life! I have never seen an old woman as hateful as you!"
…
Shen Huanxi was very grateful to see so many neighbors helping her, but she also didn't want to see Yao Cuihong again.
She put away the divorce agreement, walked up to Yao Cuihong, and spoke through an iron gate.
"Auntie Yao, if you want to make trouble, go ahead. But you have to give me some ground first so I can go to the police station and report it to the police. I will say that you came to me to extort money. Maybe you can be reunited with Feng Shenghui in the detention center."
"you……"
When Yao Cuihong heard Shen Huanxi say to call the police, she was really scared.
After Feng Shenghui was arrested, many people told him that we now live in a society ruled by law and that people are not allowed to break the law and cause chaos, which is why Feng Shenghui was arrested and that it is useless to pay for his medical expenses.
Yao Cuihong was so frightened that she just sat paralyzed on the ground crying out to the sky as if she had lost her parents, but suddenly she felt strong enough to stand up and run away in shame.
Wei Zhenzhen and Nie Dongxiang stayed to comfort Shen Huanxi, saying that she was right not to give her money.
Just at this moment, Xiao Shanhe came back pushing a wheelchair, and some people were talking in a low voice.
"Why did Dashan come back? Xiao Shen's ex-mother-in-law is here to make trouble. I'm afraid Dashan will be unhappy."
"Which man would be happy? Xiao Shen is unlucky too."
…
Xiao Shanhe had a stern face, and those who had been talking just now didn't dare to say anything, for fear that the quarrel between the couple would be embarrassing.
Wei Zhenzhen and Nie Dongxiang were also thinking about whether they should stand in front of Shen Huanxi to protect her and explain to Xiao Shanhe that Shen Huanxi was innocent, but then they saw Xiao Shanhe standing in front of Shen Huanxi with a sullen face.
Shen Huanxi's heart also skipped a beat.
Many men are reluctant to marry a woman who has been married for a second time, probably because they are afraid that a woman’s previous marriage will bring trouble to her second marriage.
You have to remember that this is the 1980s.
Her heart beat faster and then she heard Xiao Shanhe speak.
"Happy, sorry."
"Ah...ah?" Shen Huanxi was nervous just now, but now he is confused.
"Your ex-mother-in-law came to you to trouble you just now, right? Many people are talking about this matter. I heard it all. It's my fault for not being by your side and protecting you."
"I... I'm fine... I'm fine..." Shen Huanxi had just relaxed when he felt his face getting hot again.
In her previous life, she had been a strong woman for several decades, but she was exploited by two gigolos. How could she have experienced the feeling of being a weak woman and being cared for by men?
She was totally unprepared and Xiao Shanhe said something so corny.
Wei Zhenzhen and Nie Dongxiang breathed a sigh of relief for Shen Huanxi, but couldn't help but laugh.
Xiao Shanhe looked over.
"Are these two your friends?"
"Well, this is Wei Zhenzhen, this is Nie Dongxiang, they both used to work with me in a state-owned hotel. Zhenzhen, Dongxiang, this is my man Xiao Shanhe." Shen Huanxi briefly introduced both parties.
"Now that you're here, why don't you come in and sit down?" Xiao Shanhe called.
Wei Zhenzhen and Nie Dongxiang shook their heads.
"We are just passing by. The children at home are waiting for dinner, so we will go back first. Now we know that Huanxi lives here, so we will come to see Huanxi when we are free." Wei Zhenzhen said.
Nie Dongxiang also nodded.
In order not to delay them, Shen Huanxi said goodbye to them first.
She has to go home and prepare dinner.
Zhang Guifen is staying at her parents' house tonight, so she has to cook dinner.
She went out to sell stamps for the first time today. She wanted to start earning her first pot of gold after her rebirth, and planned to cook a good meal to celebrate.
I killed a chicken at noon and planned to make kiln chicken.
There was no tin paper in those days, and no lotus leaves in the Northwest at this season. She even went to the drugstore to buy dried lotus leaves to wrap the chicken, and soaked the dried lotus leaves in cold water at noon.
Shen Huanxi picked up the lotus leaf from the enamel basin and saw that it was already softened and ready to use.
She took out a mortar and put dried galangal, bay leaves, garlic, cumin powder, five-spice powder, and salt into the mortar and mashed them into powder. She then poured in some cooking wine and soy sauce and mashed them into a paste. She then used the mortar to smear the paste all over the inside and outside of the chicken, wrapped it in a softened lotus leaf, covered it with another layer of paste, and put it in the oven to roast.
The local chickens of this era do not eat feed and are relatively small in size, so Shen Huanxi cooked two kiln chickens. She didn’t know if they were enough for the children, but she could still cook other meals.
Xiao Yutang took his younger brothers and sisters to play on Nanjing Road and came back when it was almost time for dinner. Shen Huanxi saw that the four children looked strange.
Yao Cuihong came to the Xiao family's gate and made a big fuss. The news spread all over the area. The children also heard about it and it was hard to describe how they felt.
Chang'an and Changning were afraid when they thought of Yao Cuihong. They felt distressed when they thought of Shen Huanxi who had just faced Yao Cuihong alone, so they came up to comfort them. Shen Huanxi smiled and asked them to go out.
"You two only heard half of the gossip, didn't you? Didn't mom get angry and run away? The aunties and uncles in the neighborhood, as well as your aunt Wei Zhenzhen and Nie Dongxiang, also helped mom. Didn't you hear that the old woman got angry and ran away?"
"I heard that, but I just feel sorry for mom. Mom, I will definitely be successful in the future and protect you."
"Me too!" Changning nodded.
"Okay, okay, okay, Mom is waiting for you two to succeed." Shen Huanxi smiled and thought that her daughter was really a little sweetheart, and what she said was really right.
"Okay, you guys go out, Chang'an. When you came back from school just now, didn't you say that you couldn't pronounce some pinyin? Go ask your father." Shen Huanxi said.
Chang'an Changning nodded and ran out.
In recent years, Chinese Pinyin wall stickers have been very popular. They are used for children's enlightenment. Many families with children in the city will buy them and stick them on the wall.
Even without such wall stickers, city children have many ways to be enlightened, so their foundation will always be better than that of country children.
Thinking of this, Shen Huanxi felt even more guilty towards Chang'an. She really missed Chang'an's growth over the years, and she would make it up to him throughout her life.
After Changan Changning left, Xiao Yuzheng also followed him out, and only Xiao Yutang stayed behind.
"You are so stupid." Xiao Yutang spoke when only Shen Huanxi and he were left in the kitchen.
"Hmm? What do you mean?" Shen Huanxi asked while stir-frying the vegetable leaves in the pot.
"Why do you want to leave the house with nothing when you get a divorce? Didn't you earn the money? You don't want the house or the savings. You are really stupid."
"Ah...right." Shen Huanxi did not deny this.
"I originally did this for Chang'an and Changning. I left home with nothing on the condition that they would help me take care of Chang'an and Changning for a while. And I thought that even if I didn't need the house, Chang'an and Changning could live in it temporarily. They are my children, and I must be thinking about what's best for them.
If I had taken Chang'an and Changning away immediately, I would definitely not have left the house.
Not only will I not leave the house, I will also strive for a lot for Chang'an and Changning. I am their mother, and everything I do is based on what is best for them." Shen Huanxi did not want Xiao Yutang to think she was stupid, so she explained more.
Xiao Yutang suddenly frowned.
Did she leave all her money and savings behind because of Chang'an and Changning?
If she had taken Chang'an and Changning away at that time, she would definitely have gotten more money, right?
It turns out that everything she did was for her children...
Xiao Yutang suddenly thought of his biological mother.
Lan Linxiang didn't care that they followed their father and took all the money she could as her dowry.
If she wasn't in a hurry to get married and the house transfer was very troublesome, she might have wanted to take this yard away with her.
Dad was injured and couldn't go to work anymore. Fortunately, he can now take on some jobs to earn some extra money, and he also has a pension. Otherwise, how would they live? When their mother just passed away, Dad hadn't started to take on extra money yet...
The more Xiao Yutang thought about it, the more upset he became, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
The rice is ready, the side dishes are fried, and the kiln chicken is roasted.
Shen Huanxi called Xiao Shanhe and the children in. She took the fire tongs to pick up the kiln chicken wrapped in soil from the stove and smashed it in front of the children and Xiao Shanhe. A strong aroma of kiln chicken wafted in the air.
Several children couldn't help swallowing.
"Mom, what is this?" Changning asked while sucking on her fingers.
Shen Huanxi asked her to take her fingers out of her mouth, saying it was a bad habit.
"This is kiln chicken. You'll know when you eat it later. It's very delicious." Shen Huanxi explained.
Kiln chicken is a popular way of eating in the southern region. It is rarely made in the Northwest, so it is normal that children don’t know about it.
Shen Huanxi carefully tore open the lotus leaf, placed a plate upside down on the chicken, and then pressed it down from the bottom with chopsticks. With a flip, the whole orange kiln chicken was on the plate.
She put both chickens on the table, and Xiao Shanhe had already consciously gone to serve the rice.
"Mom, you can cook anything delicious! You're so amazing!" Chang'an said with admiration on his face.
The more Shen Huanxi heard Chang'an say this, the more guilty he felt.
In her last life, when she left Chang'an and Changning at Su's house and went out to explore the world by herself, she had not yet learned how to cook.
In their previous lives, neither of their two daughters had ever eaten a meal cooked by her.
"Because I am your mother, I like to make delicious food for my children, and I will make it for you in the future."
"Mom is so nice!" Chang'an Changning nodded.
Xiao Yutang listened to this and felt sad. His mother never liked to make delicious food for him and his brother.
Xiao Yuzheng also suddenly shouted.
“Mom is the best!”
"Zhengzheng, be good." Shen Huanxi touched Xiao Yuzheng's head. "In the future, Zhengzheng, tell mom what you want to eat and mom will make it for you."
"Okay! Thank you, Mom!"
It looked like Xiao Yuzheng had already forgotten about Lan Linxiang.
Xiao Yutang stood aside without saying a word, feeling mixed emotions.
…
The next day, Shen Huanxi went to work, still writing slogans in the streets.
They have already gone to the city government to get a letter of introduction, which makes their work more convenient.
Before, they could only paint slogans on the streets, but now with the introduction letter from the municipal government, they can write slogans on the outer walls of schools, on the office buildings of major government agencies, outside state-owned factories... and in more places.
Their work is not difficult, because it is really difficult; but it is not difficult either, either.
Because it is difficult to plant trees, mobilize people, and increase the survival rate of trees, but they have the support of a strong motherland behind them.
The motherland is determined not to allow this country to become the country with the largest land desertification in the world. The country has invested countless support in the Three Norths Project.
The country is determined to instill the concept of "Green water and green mountains are gold and silver mountains" into every corner of the Three North Regions, and even in the future, into the bones of every Chinese.
Shen Huanxi knows that the work they do has the motherland behind it!
Towards the afternoon, Shen Huanxi and his team arrived at the Municipal Museum. After showing the introduction letter to the museum's leaders, they began to write slogans on the museum's outer wall when they suddenly heard a quarrel.
"You vixen! How dare you go out? You vixen, you are shameless! Why don't you just die? How dare you live?"
"Let me go!"
"I let you go? Why didn't you let go when you were holding someone else's man? You did something so evil and you still have the nerve to ask me to let you go? You seduced my man, I can beat you to death and you won't be innocent!"
"Let me go! Ouch! Let me go!"
"Hey, you vixen, why are you biting me like that? You're so strong, are you using all your strength to seduce men? A vixen is a vixen! I'll beat you to death!"
…
Shen Huanxi listened to this voice and felt it was so familiar.
Isn’t that the voice that keeps cursing “vice queen” and “fox spirit” Zhao Qiu’e’s?
The other voice seemed to be Li Cuixiang's.
Shen Huanxi said something to his colleague and ran towards the direction where the sound came from. When he turned a corner, he saw Zhao Qiu'e and Li Cuixiang.
The two women were arguing and fighting.
To be precise, it was Zhao Qiu'e who unilaterally attacked Li Cuixiang.
Zhao Qiu'e was hitting Li Cuixiang with the shoulder pole she used to sell. Li Cuixiang had nothing in her hands and could not resist, so she was beaten unilaterally by Zhao Qiu'e.
Shen Huanxi was shocked. If the fight continued like this, even if no one died, the person would be seriously injured.
Shen Huanxi still regarded Zhao Qiu'e as a friend, so he hurried over.
"Stop it! Stop hitting me!"
Zhao Qiu'e heard Shen Huanxi's voice and saw Shen Huanxi, and shouted at Shen Huanxi as if she saw an assistant.
"Huanxi! Come here quickly and beat this vixen! It is this vixen who seduced my man and your man too! Come here quickly and beat this vixen to death!"
Shen Huanxi ran over and grabbed the carrying pole from Zhao Qiu'e's hand, but did not hit Li Cuixiang. Instead, he hid behind her.
Zhao Qiu'e was a little confused.
"Huanxi, what are you doing? Hit her! Hit her! It's this vixen!"
"What's the point of beating her? If you beat her, will your man have someone else outside? That's the nature of men. Even without Li Cuixiang, there would be another woman. Flies don't bite flawless eggs."
"What did you say?" Zhao Qiu'e widened her eyes and looked at Shen Huanxi in disbelief.
She didn't care about that anymore. She snatched the stick from Shen Huanxi's hand and wanted to hit Li Cuixiang, but Shen Huanxi stopped her again.
Zhao Qiu'e was a little angry.
"Huanxi! What's wrong with you? This is a vixen. You don't beat her, but you help her? Do you still consider me a friend?"
"I don't let you hit her because I treat you as a friend. Feng Shenghui hit your man and was put in a detention center. Now we live in a society ruled by law. Do you want to go in too?"
"I..." Zhao Qiu'e was frightened when she heard Shen Huanxi say this. She didn't dare to hit Li Cuixiang anymore, but she still glared at Li Cuixiang viciously.
"Why are you here?" Shen Huanxi returned the carrying pole when she saw that Zhao Qiu'e no longer looked like she would hit anyone. Zhao Qiu'e would not normally set up shop here.
"I'm going to bring food to the kid's father. Isn't the People's Hospital just in front? The kid's father will have to stay in the hospital for a while. It's all because of this vixen!" Zhao Qiu'e glared at Li Cuixiang again.
Shen Huanxi frowned.
"Your man has betrayed you and you are still so nice to him, why don't you get a divorce?"
"Oh, Huanxi, it's better to demolish ten temples than to destroy one marriage. Don't ask others to divorce just because you are divorced. My man just made a mistake that all men make. It's the vixen out there who have too many tricks. I can't forgive him even once. And I can't let my child be without a father. How pitiful the child will be. Don't encourage others to divorce."
When Zhao Qiu'e mentioned the word "divorce", it was like facing a powerful enemy.
Shen Huanxi had been enduring her for a long time, but finally couldn't help but speak.
"Zhao Qiu'e, don't think that your ideas are all right. You think that not getting divorced is good for Xiaohua and Xiaocao, but what is the reality? Xiaohua and Xiaocao don't even have a piece of clothing that fits them. The last time I saw them, their clothes were too short, and they didn't have a pair of good shoes on their feet. Is this what you call good for the children?
I am divorced and remarried, but my two daughters are dressed beautifully and live happily every day. They are cared for and respected. They are not as timid as your two daughters, who are beaten and scolded by your beloved man at home and dare not even raise their heads when they go out. Even so, you still have the nerve to say that you are doing good for your children by not getting divorced? The people you are most sorry for are your children!"
After Shen Huanxi finished speaking in one breath, he realized that people with different beliefs cannot work together.
"Forget it. If you really think you are a good mother, then just keep doing it. The flowers and grass are your children. Even if I sympathize with their plight, I can't help them. It's up to you."
After saying that, I just ignored her.
After hearing what Shen Huanxi said, Zhao Qiu'e still widened her eyes.
She only knew that divorce was bad for children, that people would gossip about her, and that the children would be without a father...How come she had never thought about these issues?
Now hearing what Shen Huanxi said, it seems to be true.
Zhao Qiu'e felt that she was a little confused. But thinking that Chen Fugui was still waiting for her to bring him food in the hospital, she took the basket, picked up the lunch box and left.
Before leaving, he did not forget to glance at Li Cuixiang and cursed her as a "foxy woman".
Shen Huanxi just felt that this woman was really hopeless.
"How are you? Do you want to go to the hospital?" Shen Huanxi frowned and asked Li Cuixiang with a stern face.
Li Cuixiang was beaten so badly that her hair was disheveled, her clothes were torn, and her body was covered with bruises. Shen Huanxi thought that with Zhao Qiu'e's hatred for the mistress, she would definitely beat her to death. But he didn't know whether Li Cuixiang only had superficial injuries or had broken bones or something.
"It's okay, no broken bones." Li Cuixiang slowed down and stood up, looking at Shen Huanxi with some confusion.
"Why don't you hit me?"
"Why would I hit you?"
"I stole your man. Feng Shenghui's divorce from you has a lot to do with me."
"That's Feng Shenghui's character. If you're not here, there will be others. There's no end to it."
Shen Huanxi was reborn from several decades later, and her concepts are very different from those of people today. She didn't expect Li Cuixiang to understand, so she was too lazy to say so much.
Feng Shenghui is nothing in her eyes. How could she possibly spend energy competing with other women for him?
She even felt a little grateful to Li Cuixiang.
She now looks down on Feng Shenghui. Even if Li Cuixiang was not around, she would divorce Feng Shenghui. With Li Cuixiang, she would divorce him even faster. Why not?
"What are you doing here?"
"Feng Shenghui was arrested and sentenced to more than six months. My mother-in-law came to you to borrow money but you refused to give it to her. So she asked me to find another way. I know a lot of people there."
"You and Yao Cuihong didn't have a quarrel?" Shen Huanxi was surprised.
"I brought a son to marry her, what can she say about me?"
"Okay..." Shen Huanxi was speechless.
This nation's preference for sons over daughters has reached an insane level in this day and age. There are countless cases of baby girls being drowned or induced for the sake of sons.
Compared with killing their own daughter, Yao Cuihong and Li Cuixiang shaking hands and making peace for Feng Fulong was a small matter.
"You...really not going to hit me?" Li Cuixiang still found it hard to believe. Is there any woman in this world who doesn't hate those vixens out there?
Is it because Shen Huanxi is prettier than her that he doesn't even take her seriously?
Li Cuixiang secretly looked at Shen Huanxi. Her skin was white and delicate, and her figure was slim but not skinny. She had meat where it should be meaty and skinny where it should be skinny. Not to mention her face. Even the cover girls of magazines were not as pretty as her.
Shen Huanxi chuckled.
"Why would I hit you? I can't thank you enough. Fortunately, I divorced early, and Feng Shenghui is no longer the guardian of Changan Changning. Otherwise, if he broke the law and was imprisoned, Changan Changning would be affected if they wanted to do something that required political review. I am so glad that I divorced him early."
"Really... Xiao Shen, don't blame me for being thick-skinned. Can you lend me some money? I will pay you back. I want to get Shenghui out. I'm afraid he will affect Fulong..."
"You are pushing your luck, aren't you? I rescued you because I was afraid Zhao Qiu'e would hurt you and put you in jail. I didn't bother with you, but you acted so familiar with me. Do you think I think you are a big shot? That's a nice thought.
I have no money, I still owe debts. I borrowed the money to build the house for Feng Shenghui, and now I am working hard to pay off the debts. If I had money from business, why would I go to the Sanbei Command to get a salary of 30 or 40 yuan a month?
But now that you've said this, I remember that when Feng Shenghui and I signed the divorce agreement, it only said that I would leave the house with nothing and give all my property to him, but it didn't mention the joint debts of the couple during the marriage. I don't know if I can ask Feng Shenghui to bear half of the debts I owe. "
"Xiao Shen, what are you doing? Come here and see which one to write!" Li Shaohua shouted as Shen Huanxi finished speaking.
Shen Huanxi was too lazy to talk any more with Li Cuixiang, so he returned to his work post.
Li Cuixiang fell into deep thought. Feng Shenghui was arrested, which affected the child's political review. What about Feng Fulong...
She frowned and limped away, and met Yao Cuihong not far ahead.
Yao Cuihong was shocked to see her ferocious appearance.
"What did you do? Did you fight with someone?"
"He was beaten by Chen Fugui's wife."
"Hey, you can't run. What, do you want to go to the hospital?"
"No, it's no big deal."
"Did you find anyone? I just went to look for a few relatives, but no one was willing to lend me money. How about you?"
"I didn't find it either. I just ran into Shen Huanxi."
"Ah, where is she?" Yao Cuihong looked around for her.
"Don't look for it, it's not here. She just told me that she has no money, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to the Sanbei Command to get a salary of thirty or forty yuan a month. She also said that she used to..."
Li Cuixiang told Yao Cuihong everything Shen Huanxi had said to her.
Neither of them knew much about the law, and they were both frightened when they thought carefully about what Shen Huanxi said.
"I don't know how much money she borrowed. What if she really goes to court and asks Shenghui to pay off half of her debt?"
"Then we will never admit it! We will never admit it! Can the judge arrest us?" Yao Cuihong said this, but she was still a little scared in her heart.
It never rains but it pours.
…
Not long after Shen Huanxi went back to write the slogan, he saw Xiao Shanhe coming over pushing a wheelchair.
Recently, Xiao Shanhe was never at home during the day, always going out for something. Shen Huanxi didn't ask much, but she often saw him appearing and disappearing mysteriously. Now, he suddenly appeared in this place at least four kilometers away from home.
The wheelchair he designed himself is really powerful and can be used anywhere.
When colleagues from the Publicity Department saw Xiao Shanhe, they greeted him.
They all knew that Shen Huanxi married a man with disabled legs, and they used to think it was a pity, after all, Shen Huanxi was the beauty of their unit.
Now that I've met Xiao Shanhe in person and know that he's such a handsome man, I feel that they are a good match.
Having a man like this around is a pleasure to the eyes and makes me feel good.
"How did you get here?"
"I have something to do. I've finished it now. I came here when I saw you."
"Oh, Comrade Xiao really cares about Comrade Xiao Shen. It's obvious that the couple has a loving relationship."
"That's not true. Such a relationship between husband and wife is the envy of others!"
"We know that you two are married. If we didn't know, we would have thought you two were still
