◎First update◎
"You smashed it?" Zhou Guoping thought he had misheard. Why would Liu Nianhua smash the sign of the Five Good Family in his home?
And the tone of her voice just now was a little strange. It felt like it was colder than the weather. A cold face makes people feel uncomfortable at night.
Liu Nianhua seemed to have changed his demeanor again. He picked up the broken sign on the ground and threw it into the trash basket next to the stove. There were a few rotten vegetable leaves in the trash basket. "Oh, it wasn't smashed. I don't know when the sign fell to the ground. I didn't pay attention when I came out, and I stepped on it and broke it into two pieces."
"What did you throw away!" Zhou Guoping watched the sign fall into the basket with a clang, feeling extremely distressed. He didn't have time to care about Liu Nianhua stepping on something and breaking it. He hurried forward to pick up the sign, rubbed it with a few fingers, and muttered, "I'll stick it back on tomorrow."
This brand of "Five Good Families" is my own reputation. In this stall in Yueya Hutong, who doesn't know my family? Who doesn't know that he is a good man?
Zhou Guoping put the brand into his trouser pocket and went home.
Liu Nianhua looked at Zhou Guoping's cautious movements indifferently and became more and more disheartened. It seemed that this brand was more important to him, more important than the person.
——
Liang Baozhen was preoccupied with something on her mind and was lying on the bed in a daze.
What Liu Nianhua said today shocked her greatly. It was true that one could never know a person's true heart from his appearance. How could Zhou Guoping be such a person? She could guarantee that if she told anyone about it now, no one would believe it.
When Xu Shengjie returned to the room, he saw his wife with a serious face, not knowing where she was looking.
"What's wrong?" After closing the door, Xu Shengjie also lay on the bed and touched Baozhen's cheek, but Baozhen was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't respond at all. "What are you thinking about? You're so absent-minded."
Liang Baozhen finally came back to her senses after being called several times. She was still thinking about what Zhou Guoping had done, and the first thing she blurted out was, "How can you men be like this!"
Xu Shengjie:?
"What happened?" Xu Shengjie had never seen Liang Baozhen like this since he met her. Her face was wrinkled and her eyebrows were knitted. It was obvious that something was wrong. "Did someone bully you?"
Xu Shengjie sat up straight instantly. Could it be that Chen Siming was bothering him again?
"No, it has nothing to do with me."
Hearing this, Xu Shengjie finally let go of his stress and leaned back against the bed. "Then why are you so worried?"
Liang Baozhen turned around and told Xu Shengjie what Liu Nianhua had said. It was not for any other reason, but today the two of them had discussed it and decided to ask Xu Shengjie for help!
Liu Nianhua was determined not to continue living with Zhou Guoping, but she wanted to leave her job and children behind, and she had no one to help her, Liang Baozhen was one, and the other was Xu Shengjie.
The man is a veteran, and Liu Nianhua believes him.
Liang Baozhen recalled the plot she had read in the book and felt that Liu Nianhua was quite similar to herself in the book, as if she could empathize with the characters. There was no guarantee that Zhou Guoping might be the next Chen Siming.
After talking about Zhou Guoping, Liang Baozhen looked at Xu Shengjie with a kind of sweeping look, "Look, is this human nature?"
Xu Shengjie didn't have much contact with the neighbors in the compound. He had just returned from military service and had met Zhou Guoping several times. He was always polite to him, and he didn't expect him to do such a mess outside.
"He's really a worthless person." Xu Shengjie thought of Liu Nianhua, who worked very hard to take care of the family, but he didn't expect to run into a man like this. "Do you mean to help Sister Hua get a divorce?"
"Well, she doesn't want to live with Zhou Guoping anymore. But Zhou Guoping took over her father's job, and now if she wants to get it back, Zhou Guoping must give it up voluntarily." Liang Baozhen has been thinking about it all night, "And Xiaolong and Xiaohu are still young, and Liu Nianhua is reluctant to let Zhou Guoping take either of them away."
Liang Baozhen expressed Liu Nianhua's concerns.
She had no one to rely on. Now that she knew the place where Zhou Guoping and his mistress Wang Fang had their trysts, she could either go to their house and cause a scene, or better yet, report the matter to the public transportation team. Now that they were cracking down on work style issues, Zhou Guoping's job would definitely be in jeopardy and he would be fired. If Zhou Guoping and Wang Fang were taken to prison for having an affair, the Liu family would not be able to get the job back.
In the future, everyone in the alley and even the entire elementary school will know that Xiaolong and Xiaohu's father is a cheating woman.
Liu Nianhua is a person who thinks things through clearly. She is now in a very difficult situation and could fall into the abyss if she is not careful.
That night, Liang Baozhen and Xu Shengjie discussed the matter for a long time. After work the next day, they went to Liu Nianhua to talk about the solution. The three of them waited for Zhou Guoping to go out again.
*
Zhou Guoping had a very happy life these days. Wang Fang's man would not be back for another seven days, so whenever he had time, he would sneak into the tube building in the middle of the night to hang out with Wang Fang.
The sign of "Five Good Family" was pasted on. When I looked up, I saw four glorious big words. Although there was a gap in the middle, I couldn't do much about it.
At night, everyone in the compound had gone to bed. The weather was getting colder and it was getting dark earlier and earlier. Everyone hurried to bed and went to sleep early.
"Nianhua? Nianhua?" Zhou Guoping called his wife softly while lying on his side.
There was no movement or response.
Zhou Guoping smiled with satisfaction, got out of bed, put on his shoes and walked out.
Wang Fang was his aunt's cousin's daughter. They knew each other before, but they were not very close. After two years of marriage, he was getting more and more annoyed by the repetitive work of driving a bus and watching his young and beautiful wife gradually become an old woman. Then Wang Fang appeared again.
Wang Fang is not as pretty as Liu Nianhua before marriage, but she has a charm, especially in the years after marriage, she has become more and more attractive.
Her husband doesn't spend much time at home in a month. It's okay at first, but he becomes lonely as time goes by. The two meet on the road. One is annoyed by the unromantic old woman at home, and the other is alone in the empty house without her husband. But they fall in love with each other.
After a while, they ended up getting together.
Over time, the two of them had developed a tacit understanding of each other. When Wang Fang's husband went out for a long distance run, Zhou Guoping would come to her house in the middle of the night. For convenience, Wang Fang simply gave him a key.
The key went into the lock and with a click, the door opened.
Zhou Guoping entered the room, closed the door, and went straight to the bedroom.
Wang Fangjiao's voice came, "Why did you come just now?"
"I went out a little late." As he spoke, Zhou Guoping untied his belt. It was cold all the way here, so he had to go to the bed to warm up.
......
As soon as Zhou Guoping left the house, Liu Nianhua opened his eyes. His heart was tormented. He thought that he should have left the yard, so he hurried to Xu's house to inform Xu Shengjie and Liang Baozhen.
The three decided to catch the adulterer tonight.
Arriving at the tube-shaped building, the three of them went upstairs quietly. The door of Wang Fang's house was closed. Xu Shengjie took out a piece of wire from his pocket and aligned it with the keyhole. This skill was taught to him by Hong Saner.
When Hong San'er was a child, he was naughty and often went out to cause trouble. When his family members went out to work, they would lock him in the house. As a result, this man figured out a way to open the lock with wire.
With a click, the door opened.
Liu Nianhua looked at the darkness in the room. She heard a faint sound of flirting. She closed her eyes and then opened them again. She clenched her hands so tightly that blood marks appeared on her palms.
Xu Shengjie shone the flashlight towards the bedroom, worried about polluting someone's eyes.
"who!"
Zhou Guoping was hugging Wang Fang tenderly when suddenly a bright light came in. Their faces changed and they dared not speak again.
"Did Zhao Qiang come back?" Wang Fang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat and grabbed Zhou Guoping's arm, causing him to feel pain. "What should I do?"
"Hey, let me go and take a look." Seeing Wang Fang panicking, Zhou Guoping immediately put on his macho attitude, picked up his cotton pants that fell on the ground and hastily put them on.
Just as he put on his pants, Zhou Guoping was startled by someone who appeared.
Liu Nianhua stood at the door of the bedroom, pushed Zhou Guoping down, and hit him like crazy, throwing whatever he had in his hand at his face, "Zhou Guoping, are you worthy of me?"
The kerosene lamp in the living room lit up soon after, and Zhou Guoping saw his daughter-in-law Liu Nianhua through the dim light!
"Nian...Nianhua?" The voice was trembling. Zhou Guoping saw her looking at him with a cold face, with despair and numbness in her eyes.
"Zhou Guoping, is this how you treat me?" Liu Nianhua thought about it for a long time. He also thought about how to scold this man at home, but in the end, he even had no energy to speak.
"It turns out to be your wife?" Wang Fang looked up after hearing the noise and finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her man didn't find out, everything would be fine.
Zhao Qiang is not as good-looking as Zhou Guoping, nor as gentle and considerate as him, but he is good at making money.
Wang Fang was still unwilling to lose such a man who could make her life better.
Besides, Zhao Qiang is definitely much more ruthless than that useless woman Liu Nianhua.
"Then you two go out and talk. You bring your wife back yourself. I'm going to sleep." Wang Fang knew Liu Nianhua. He was the kind of person who could not be beaten with any stick. To put it nicely, he had a good temper, but to put it bluntly, he was a coward.
Zhou Guoping naturally has a way to deal with his wife.
After this interruption, Zhou Guoping calmed down. Although it was troublesome to be discovered by Liu Nianhua, he knew what was going on and just needed to go back and coax her a few more times.
A woman who lives on her own can't make trouble.
"Nianhua, listen to me, let's go home and talk first." The most urgent thing is to take the person away first, and we must not let the people nearby find out. There will be no problem as long as this matter is not made a big deal!
When Liu Nianhua heard Wang Fang's contempt for him, he just felt that his past was indeed a miserable life and he was really blind!
"If you have anything to say, just talk about it here." Liu Nianhua sneered at Zhou Guoping's disheveled appearance, "Since you dare to mess around with Wang Fang, are you afraid of being seen? Do you want me to wake up everyone else in this tube building and come over to take a look?"
"Don't!" Zhou Guoping was not afraid of Liu Nianhua making a noise, but he was afraid of being discovered by others. If he made a noise on the bus fleet, he would probably lose his job.
So, as long as you comfort Liu Nianhua, everything will be safe.
"Nianhua, this is a misunderstanding. Wang Fang's husband went out driving, and the water pipe in her house was broken, so she asked me to fix it. As a result, she and I got drunk and did something stupid. You know that, I have nothing to say to you. I work so hard just because I want you and the children to live a good life." Zhou Guoping's face was full of regret, and he was almost crying.
"Repairing the water pipe in the middle of the night?" Liang Baozhen asked suddenly, her words full of sarcasm.
Zhou Guoping glanced at Liang Baozhen next to Liu Nianhua and Xu Shengjie who was guarding the door. He didn't expect that his wife had become so successful that she even knew to look for help.
"Xiao Liang, this is our family affair, outsiders shouldn't interfere. Look, you and Xiao Xu should go back first."
"Zhou Guoping." Liang Baozhen felt disgusted when she saw him pretending. Liu Nianhua's body was trembling slightly, and it was obvious that she was furious. "Sister Hua and I are as close as sisters. If something happens in her family, how can I be an outsider?"
"You!" Zhou Guoping didn't want to waste words with outsiders. The most important thing was to stabilize Liu Nianhua.
Turning to look at Liu Nianhua, his expression changed again, "Nianhua, think about it, we have been married for so many years, have I been good to you? Who in the hospital doesn't praise you for marrying a good man? You should know it yourself! This time, we were really drunk and confused... Can you forgive me this time, okay?"
"Just once?" Liu Nianhua didn't know how Zhou Guoping could lie with his eyes open. He was not like this before. "Five days ago, you didn't come?"
Zhou Guoping's eyes widened and his face turned pale. He immediately understood that his wife had already discovered it?
Liu Nianhua thought about how he had been married for many years and how good his family had been to him. His father used his connections to get him enrolled in a driving class, so that he learned how to drive, something that many people couldn't do. Then he gave him his job. Zhou Guoping, a man with nothing, suddenly became the envied bus driver that everyone envied.
Liu's mother was also very kind to her son-in-law. She was often concerned about his hard work driving and would buy him some meat and ribs to stew from time to time.
As for myself, I lived frugally for the sake of this family. I knew that he worked hard, so I spent every penny carefully. But this guy ended up spending ten yuan to buy a scarf for Wang Fang!
Bang!
Liu Nianhua slapped Zhou Guoping on the face and said viciously, "Zhou Guoping, are you worthy of me? Are you worthy of my father and mother?"
It was the first time in Liu Nianhua's life that she hit someone, and she didn't expect that the hit would be on her own husband's face.
Seeing Zhou Guoping's stunned expression, she held back her tears and said coldly, "Let's get a divorce."
"Nianhua! No, how can we get divorced?" Zhou Guoping was stunned by the word "divorce" and didn't care about the burning slap in the face.
However, Liu Nianhua had not finished speaking.
"The work and the kids are mine, get out of here!"
