Chapter 109 The Rumormonger (2/2)



At night, the captain's house

The captain said to Qin Xianglian in front of the whole family: "Let's get a divorce."

Qin Xianglian was terrified when she heard this. "National Treasure, why? Is it because of something that happened yesterday? I haven't figured it out either. How would I know it was just a rumor made up by someone else?"

Yu Guobao is now the team leader and the most powerful person in the village. She has waited so long for him to take this position and will never let him go easily.

Yu Guobao sighed: "It's not just because of this incident. Think about what you've been doing these past few days. Who did you quarrel with yesterday? Who did you have a conflict with the day before yesterday? Ever since I became the team leader, you haven't been quiet."

"Guobao, please don't divorce me. I'm going to apologize to Xu Zhiqing right now. I shouldn't have misunderstood her. I'm going to apologize to her and ask her to forgive me."

Yu Guobao called out to her, "Don't go looking for Xu Zhiqing. Our divorce has nothing to do with him. Even if nothing happened today, won't you cause trouble again in the future? Divorce me sooner so I can have less worries. Don't worry, even though I don't have much money, I will still compensate you."

Qin Xianglian was still unwilling to leave. She was still young, but she didn't know whether her son and daughter-in-law would let her into the house.

"Guobao, please forgive me. I will change. I promise to change and never make such a mistake again."

Yu Guobao didn't say anything. She went to find her two sons. Yu Jingang and Yu Yingang didn't say anything either. In fact, since this stepmother came into the family, she didn't help much, but caused a lot of trouble. She also often made things difficult for their wives. They didn't say anything for the sake of their father's face, but they would not object if their father wanted to divorce her.

"National treasure, national treasure, please forgive me for this. I swear, I will never make the same mistake again."

Finally, perhaps because Yu Guobao softened his heart and considered the potential gossip the villagers might have if he divorced at this critical juncture, he said, "You have to go pick up pig manure every day for three man-months."

"Ah? National Treasure, how can you be so cruel?"

"If you don't pick, then divorce."

"Okay, okay, I'll choose. I'll choose."

After that, everything went smoothly during Xu Nuannuan's house construction. Three days later, all the adobe bricks were made, and the foundation was dug and needed to be rammed.

At this time, the tamping method is to tie a large stone with a rope, and several young and strong men lift it up and then drop it to hit the foundation. After repeating this many times, the foundation can be made solid.

The Yu brothers, Tong Qingmin, Feng Zhiwei, Jiang Ye and Jiang Yang were tamping the adobe. After the tamping, the adobe was dry and it was time to build a house.

Xu Nuannuan wanted to finish building the house before the ground was damp and it was too hot to walk on.

The three adobe houses were easy to build, and Xu Nuannuan asked Mei Xiangcao to find two experienced bricklayers in the village. They basically built the houses in two days. They also built the courtyard wall and built a special stove. After drying it for two days, they could move in.

It has been five or six days since Yu Qingqing reported Xu Nuannuan, but the Youth League Office has not yet given any results.

Yu Qingqing was a little anxious and asked Lin Ruyan, "What happened? It's been five or six days. The Youth League Office should have been able to thoroughly investigate Xu Nuannuan's family background. Why haven't they sent anyone to deal with it yet?"

In fact, Lin Ruyan was also anxious. She was looking forward to Xu Nuannuan being sent to the farm as soon as possible.

"Don't worry, maybe they've already found out about it and will be able to deal with it soon."

"Well, let's wait then."

They were talking in the yard when a man in a uniform came in pushing a bicycle.

Lin Ruyan and Yu Qingqing's eyes lit up when they saw the person coming. However, when they saw clearly that the person was wearing a dark green uniform, that the car was painted dark green, and that there was a dark green bag on the car, they seemed to lose their joy again.

Because the green bag had the post office logo printed on it, this person was from the post office, not from the Educated Youth Office.

The man stood in the yard and called out, "Comrade Xu Nuannuan, Comrade Xu Nuannuan, come out for a moment."

When Xu Nuannuan heard the sound, she rushed out of the dormitory.

"Comrade, do you have a letter for me?"

The postman took out a letter, a withdrawal slip, and three parcel slips from his bag and handed them to Xu Nuannuan: "These are all yours. You can pick them up at the post office when you have time."

Xu Nuannuan took a look and saw a remittance slip that was mailed from the Southeast Daily. It must be the royalties for Mo Wuwei's manuscript, and the letter was also mailed from the newspaper. As for the three parcel slips, she was confused.

After taking a look, she found that one of them was from An City, and Chang Chunli sent her a package. Another one had the mailing address in Jing City, and it was Mrs. Guan who sent her something. Another one had the mailing address in the Mo Province Military Region, and the sender was Zhang Jianjun.

Brother Jianjun actually knew that she had gone to the countryside to work, and even mailed something to her.

She put away the letter, remittance slip, and parcel slip, and thanked the postman: "Comrade, thank you for your hard work. I'll get you some water."

"No, no, I brought my own water cup."

As he spoke, he subconsciously reached for the water cup he had left on the car railing, opened it and prepared to take a few sips, only to find that there was no water in it.

Then he handed the cup to Xu Nuannuan: "Then please pour me some water for your educated youth."

Xu Nuannuan took the cup to the kitchen, poured hot water from the thermos for the postman, and came out to return the cup to the postman.

"Thank you, young comrade."

"Nothing."
