Chapter 85 Not Brother and Sister
"I want a divorce." Chen Xiumei said.
She thought this was the best way for herself.
She didn't want to live like this anymore.
In this family, anyone can order her around, even Tong Mingxin.
As long as she expressed her thoughts a little, Tong Mingxin would only comfort her and advise her to be patient.
Your parents are old, so you should respect them.
My sister is young, so I need to give in to her.
He is a man, listen.
Chen Xiumei found it ridiculous.
Everyone is taken into consideration, only your own thoughts are unimportant.
Tong Mingxin only needs to move her mouth, she does the work and she takes the scolding.
She didn't want to go on living like this. As for other things, she didn't want to think about them anymore. It was really tiring.
She has a job now and is getting paid, so she can live a good life. Why should she think so much?
Tong's mother suspected that she was hallucinating. She stared at Chen Xiumei and asked, "What do you mean by that?"
In Tong's mother's view, even if they want a divorce, it should be her son who speaks out.
Now hearing these words from Chen Xiumei's mouth, Tong's mother found it unbelievable.
This woman has been married to their family for two years and has not been pregnant. They don't dislike her, so why does she dare to file for divorce?
Tong's mother pointed at Chen Xiumei with a trembling hand, "How dare you divorce my son? If you divorce my son, who would want you, a hen that doesn't lay eggs?"
Since they were planning to divorce, Chen Xiumei would naturally not be polite to Tong's mother at this moment, "It might be your son's fault that he can't have children. Your son hit me, maybe he knew he couldn't have children, and he got angry out of shame."
Last night, she and Tong Mingxin also mentioned the topic of children. At that moment, he suddenly became angry, for no apparent reason.
Now that I think about it, could it be that Tong Mingxin is really infertile?
Thinking back calmly to the details of the past, Chen Xiumei felt that something was wrong.
"I'll beat you to death, you bitch. Are you divorcing my son because you're having an affair with someone else?"
Tong's mother naturally would not think that it was her son's fault that he could not have children. She thought that Chen Xiumei must be talking nonsense.
She has never heard that a woman's inability to have children is the man's problem. Now that Chen Xiumei dares to file for divorce, maybe she has someone else outside and has cuckolded her son.
She wanted to beat this shameless bitch to death.
Before the slap could land, Director Ji and Secretary Li stopped him from the left and right.
"What are you doing? Just talk, why are you using force? If you don't talk properly, go to the small dark room and talk." Director Ji said to Tong's mother.
Tong's mother moved her mouth but still couldn't say anything.
Tong Nianqing, on the other hand, came over at some point, stared at Chen Xiumei and said, "My mom is not wrong. If she hadn't done anything to offend my brother, why would she divorce him? Besides, she really didn't give birth to a child. Isn't that her fault?"
"You little girl, you look young and you're not married, but why are you staring at what's going on in your brother and sister-in-law's room? Aren't you ashamed?" Director Ji knew that it was Tong Nianqing who instigated Tong Mingxin to hit someone, so naturally he didn't have a good face towards her.
Tong's father also quickly stood up and said, "Director Ji, Nianqing is still a child. She is still young and doesn't understand things. You must not bother with a child."
"She is still a child even though she graduated from high school. Then aren't the educated youth who came to our commune right after graduation also children? And the babies who are still breastfeeding are even more children. Only your family is a child, and other people's children are not children?"
Director Ji looked in the direction of the voice and was a little surprised to see Zhou Xian coming over.
"Xiao Zhou, why are you here?"
"I saw that Comrade Chen Xiumei was a little absent-minded and had a wound on her face. I was worried that something might have happened to her, so I told Secretary He that they were all employees of our pickle factory and came to check on her."
Of course this is not the main reason.
When Chen Xiumei came to her just now, the system reminded her that Chen Xiumei was a supporting female character in a book.
The male protagonist is her husband, and the female protagonist is Chen Xiumei's sister-in-law.
Zhou Xian had met Chen Xiumei before when she was at the pickle factory. The system had given her a reminder at that time, but she was busy at the time and didn't pay attention.
A quick glance at the introduction revealed that it was a pseudo-brother-sister period piece.
Zhou Xian directly advised Chen Xiumei to divorce and stop adding fuel to the fire of the relationship between the male and female protagonists.
After she left, he found the original novel and read it. He could not sit still anymore and hurriedly followed Chen Xiumei.
This marriage must be divorced.
Director Ji was quite happy to see Zhou Xian, but now was not the time to be happy.
Zhou Xian greeted Director Ji and turned to look at Tong Nianqing, "Director Ji, this comrade Tong Nianqing likes to meddle in the affairs of my brother and sister-in-law because she is secretly having an affair with Tong Mingxin."
"What?" Director Ji didn't expect Zhou Xian to say such a thing.
"You're talking nonsense!" Tong's mother didn't care that the person in front of her was a commune cadre, and she cursed directly.
"They are siblings."
Zhou Xian looked at Tong's mother, shook his head at her, and said, "Before coming here, I went to the small dark room to meet Tong Mingxin. He admitted in person that Tong Nianqing is not his biological sister. They just can't be together because of their identities as siblings, so he married Comrade Chen Xiumei to cover up their scandal."
"Impossible, you are talking nonsense. Nianqing is my child, how could he not be my biological child?" Tong's mother was unwilling to believe Zhou Xian's words.
She was pregnant twice, the first time she gave birth to Tong Mingxin, and the second time she gave birth to Tong Nianqing.
How is it possible that the daughter is not yours?
This female cadre is so vicious that she actually said such things and tried to label the brother and sister as traitors.
"I see. You must have been bribed by that bitch Chen Xiumei. Director Ji, I want to report you... No, you are all in the same group. I will go to the county and sue you in the provincial capital."
Zhou Xian looked at her, and his expression did not change at all when he heard about the report.
"You have to ask your husband about this. I think he would know why the daughter you gave birth to is not your biological daughter."
After hearing what Zhou Xian said with such certainty, Tong's mother turned her head and happened to see Tong's father's guilty face.
As a couple for many years, Tong's mother believes that she still understands Tong's father.
"Old man, you said that Nianqing is my biological daughter, right? They colluded to deceive us, right?"
Facing everyone's gazes, Tong's father looked visibly panicked, but he still pretended to be calm.
"Yes, they are all talking nonsense and trying to slander us."
"Secretary Zhou is not talking nonsense." Chen Xiumei suddenly said.
She looked at Tong Nianqing dimly, "Several times, I saw Tong Mingxin and Tong Nianqing hugging each other secretly."
She didn't take it seriously before, she just thought it was a close relationship between siblings.
But I have never heard of any 18-year-old sister secretly hugging her 20-something brother late at night, and if they were seen, they would still be praised for their good brother-sister relationship.
After hearing what Chen Xiumei said, Tong's mother also remembered that she had encountered this situation several times as well.
There are also many small details that seem to become clear in my mind.
She was fooled by Tong Nianqing's coquettishness. She also laughed at Tong Nianqing for not growing up and liking to stick to his brother like when he was a child.
Now some people say that Tong Nianqing is not her daughter and is secretly having an affair with her son.
That is to say, Tong Mingxin had already known that Tong Nianqing was not her sister.
Moreover, Tong Nianqing has been outstanding since she was young, so beautiful that she doesn't look like her biological child.
Whenever she muttered about this, Tong Jiang would say she was just imagining things.
"Tong Jiang, tell me, who is she? Where is the child I gave birth to?" Tong's mother was already 70% convinced and began to question Tong's father.
Director Ji and Secretary Li were both confused. How did the matter suddenly become so complicated?
Tong Jiang refused to speak.
Tong Nianqing on the side couldn't help but stood in front of Tong's father and said, "That's right, I am indeed not your daughter. How can you be my mother?"
"Shut up, you are her daughter, don't talk nonsense." Tong's father, contrary to his usual behavior, yelled at Tong Nianqing.
"Dad, you actually yelled at me for her?" Tong Nianqing turned his head and looked at his father in disbelief.
"Shut up!" Tong's father glanced at Director Ji and Zhou Xian, and also winked at Tong Nianqing.
It’s a pity that Tong Nianqing has been spoiled since childhood and can’t understand Tong’s father’s intentions at all.
Instead, she felt aggrieved because Tong's father kept yelling at her.
Director Ji's mind was also in a mess at the moment, but he still had to sort out the true relationship between the brother and sister Tong Mingxin and Tong Nianqing.
If these two people really get involved with each other in private, it would be really lively.
Director Ji remembered that he only brought militiamen to capture Tong Mingxin, and did not bring militiamen here. Fortunately, Xiao Zhou was here, and she could fight off several people alone.
Take Tong Nianqing back and interrogate him. The commune cannot allow such a scandal to happen.
"Director Ji, this is all my fault. I didn't educate my child well. Nianqing is still young and doesn't understand. Please let her go." When Tong's father saw that Zhou Xian easily pinned Tong Nianqing down and made her unable to move, he immediately became anxious and quickly pleaded with Director Ji.
Seeing that Tong's father was so partial to Tong Nianqing and didn't react much when he heard that his own son Tong Mingxin was arrested, Tong's mother also knew what was going on.
But understanding doesn't mean she will accept it.
Tong's mother couldn't bear it any longer, she let out a roar, and rushed towards Tong's father.
"Tong Jiang, you bastard, you will die a miserable death. Is Tong Nianqing your bastard? Where is the child I gave birth to?"
Director Ji tried to stop them, but Tong's mother had lost her mind now and would definitely get hurt by mistake if she went forward. Zhou Xian had no choice but to let go of Tong Nianqing and went forward to hold Tong's mother down.
Tong Nianqing took this opportunity and ran outside immediately.
Seeing Tong Nianqing trying to run away, Zhou Xian was about to chase her. As soon as she let go of Tong's mother, she rushed out, pounced on Tong Nianqing, pinned her to the ground, and rode on her, attacking her left and right.
"Bastard, you bastard, you dare to seduce my son, I will not forgive you."
Thinking about how she loved her like her own daughter, but her own child had gone to nowhere, all the hatred in Tong's mother's heart was directed at Tong Nianqing.
The neighbors all came out when they heard the noise. After hearing such explosive news out of the blue, they were reluctant to leave.
Director Ji quickly asked Secretary Li to call someone to help.
Zhou Xian pulled them apart one by one, but Tong's mother still tried to pull Tong Nianqing's hair.
Tong Nianqing's face was swollen from being slapped. He looked at Tong's mother mumbling something, but no one knew what she was saying.
Fortunately, Director Li brought people over quickly and took away all the members of the Tong family except Chen Xiumei.
Director Ji didn't want to follow this group of people, and couldn't help but sigh with Zhou Xian, "What do you call this?"
Li Lingling couldn't help but ask, "Why did you think of looking for Tong Mingxin?"
"Originally I just wanted to ask him why he attacked Comrade Chen Xiumei, but as I was asking, he let the cat out of the bag."
Of course it was fake. How could Tong Mingxin let slip such a thing? Zhou Xian relied on his knowledge of the plot to deliberately lie to him.
"It's their fault!" Li Lingling looked at the Tong family with contempt.
As an officer in the Women's Federation, she did learn a lot of unbelievable things, but what happened to the Tong family was even more unbelievable than anything she had known before.
