The 107th day of being eavesdropped
Since being suspended from the hospital, Song Mei has not been out to work. She eats and sleeps at home every day. If she runs out of money, she asks Zhao's parents for it.
Zhao's parents do have complaints in their hearts, but as soon as they say no, Song Mei loses her temper, smashes cups, hits the bed, and says she will tell others about Zhao Donglai's failures. Zhao's parents have no choice but to be controlled.
Today.
Song Mei is still watching TV at home, waiting for Zhao's mother to come home from work to cook.
When she heard the footsteps, she didn't even turn her head and said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "Why do you get off work so late? I'm starving!"
But it was not Zhao's mother who answered her, but Zhao Donglai's suppressed angry voice, "Song Mei, get out of here!"
Song Mei was startled at first, but after she realized what Zhao Donglai said, she immediately refused to do it. She jumped up from the sofa and pointed her finger at Zhao Donglai's nose, "Who are you telling to get out? Zhao Donglai, you have no conscience, but I am your wife!"
"My wife, I don't have a wife who cheated on me, get out, get out!"
Zhao Donglai picked up the fruit plate on the table and slammed it to the ground with a bang. His cheeks were flushed, his face was tense, and the veins on his neck were bulging.
Song Mei showed a panic on her face, but she still said stubbornly: "You are talking nonsense, you slandered me, well, you Zhao Donglai, I didn't even give up on you, but you actually accused me of cheating!"
When Zhao's father and mother came back from work, as soon as they entered the yard, the neighbor rushed over and said, "Oh, you are back, hurry up, your son and daughter-in-law are fighting at home." When
Zhao's father and mother heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, and Gu She had no choice but to climb upstairs. The front door was crowded with people. The quarrels in the house could be heard. Song Mei's sharp and piercing voice was particularly clear: "Zhao Donglai, even if I had something with the doctor, it was you who forced me to do it. You can't do it, but can't you let me find a man who can do it?"
When Zhao's mother heard this, her feet staggered and she almost fell. Thanks to the neighbors who supported her, she was not hurt.
Zhao's father had already pushed the crowd away. The living room was a mess. The thermos and water cups were all smashed. Zhao Donglai and Song Mei had ferocious faces. The couple looked at each other with eyes that made them want to eat each other.
"Hey, your dad is back, just in time. You are all bastards, bullying me, but why can't I make up for myself!"
Song Mei straightened her messy hair and touched her slapped face.
Zhao's father's heart felt like being stabbed by a needle. He held his hand and walked to Zhao Donglai's side, "Donglai, how did you make such a fuss?"
Zhao Donglai's situation was not much better at this time. Song Mei scratched his face with several bloody marks, and he was punched in the nose.
He was abnormally calm at this time, "Dad, she had an affair with Dr. Sun in the hospital, I want to divorce her!"
"Divorce?!"
Zhao's mother heard this as soon as she came in, and her head buzzed.
Song Mei was panicking. Zhao Donglai had mentioned divorce before, but he had never looked so resolute.
"Zhao Donglai, do you dare to divorce? If you dare to divorce, let's get divorced right now!"
"Let's go! Whoever doesn't divorce is a grandson!"
Zhao Donglai, who had always let Song Mei do whatever she wanted, was so resolute for the first time.
Zhao's mother pulled him, tears welling up in her eyes, "Donglai, this, this divorce is not a joke, what will we do if we get divorced?"
Zhao Donglai pushed his mother's hand away, "Mom, if we don't get divorced, do you want your son to be a living cuckold and raise a child for others? Yes, I can't do that, I would rather marry a widow with a child than her!"
Song Mei was furious, "Okay, divorce, don't regret it!"
The two really took the marriage certificate to register for divorce.
The Civil Affairs Bureau was still open, and the two got the divorce certificate in less than half an hour. Zhao Donglai even asked Song Mei to move all the luggage and dowry away overnight. It
was late at night.
Every household had to eat dinner.
The Gu family and Yinxing and his wife had just come back from a restaurant and were drinking tea together. Today, the Investiture of the Gods was being shown, and everyone was watching Daji ordering a pregnant woman to be cut open alive to see if the baby was a boy or a girl. Then they heard sobbing sounds coming from outside.
It was dark early in February and it was cold.
The north wind was blowing, and the leaves were rustling, which, along with the sobbing, was eerie and terrifying.
Gu Yinxing couldn't help shivering, hugging Yan Qian's arm, "Who is crying outside? It's so scary in the middle of the night?"
"It sounds like it's us outside. I'll go check it out."
Yan Qian put down his teacup and said, "Maybe something happened."
Gu Jinshui said hurriedly, "I'll go with you. If there's anything, I can help you. The street light outside broke a few days ago. Maybe someone fell down."
He Chunlian said, "Then I'll get you a flashlight."
So, originally two or three people came out to check, but suddenly it became a whole family holding flashlights to check the situation.
Gu Yousi also had a whistle. When they opened the door and walked out to take a look, they shone the flashlight and saw a woman squatting on the ground crying at the corner of the alley in front of them, with a pile of boxes and luggage next to her.
Gu Jinshui, holding a flashlight, walked up to him and asked sternly, "Comrade, what's wrong with you? Do you want to call the police?"
"Call the police, what police? Are you here to laugh at me on purpose?"
The woman's hand loosened and she raised her head. Everyone saw that she was Song Mei.
"Why is it you?"
He Chunlian was stunned for a moment, and looked at the suitcases on the ground. "Are you going back to your parents' home?"
"None of your business, get out, you are all here to laugh at me, get out!"
Song Mei was very rude, and swung her arm, almost hitting Gu Jinshui's hand.
Thanks to Gu Jinshui for avoiding them, he was not in a good mood, rolled his eyes and said, "Okay, Mom, let's go home."
He Chunlian looked at the arrogant Song Mei, and felt a little sorry for her. She said to Gu Jinshui, "Go to their house and tell them that someone has to help carry all the luggage."
Although Gu Jinshui was reluctant, he still went.
The Gu family went back early. Song Mei might have been in trouble. If they stayed there, people might think they were just joking.
Huang Xirong and her son were shocked to hear that Song Mei was crying outside with her things. They hurried out and asked Song Mei, but Song Mei did not answer. They had to take the person and the things home first.
When they entered the house, Song Mei covered her face and burst into tears, "Mom, that bastard Zhao Donglai, he actually divorced me!"
Huang Xirong's face changed suddenly. He was about to pour her water, but when he heard this, his hand shook, and the tea spilled out. He turned around and questioned, "You divorced Zhao Donglai!"
"Yes, that bastard didn't remember my kindness at all. He deceived me into marriage, and now he turned his face and said divorce!"
Song Mei gritted her teeth and said that half of her face was swollen, which made her look even more pitiful.
Lin Lianhua asked, "Did their family compensate you?"
Yes, Huang Xirong and his mother immediately pricked up their ears and stared at Song Mei.
Song Mei showed a suspicious look on her face, "How could that bastard be willing to give me money? His family kicked me out overnight!"
"This is simply outrageous. I'm going to ask their family for justice. We didn't give up on him even though he was not good enough, but he kicked you out!" Song Jianshe couldn't stand it anymore, and slammed the table and was about to leave.
Lin Lianhua grabbed Song Jianshe and said, "Jianshe, don't rush to go. We have to find out what's going on. My aunt and Zhao Donglai didn't ask for a divorce before, but the Zhao family always gave in first. Why would the Zhao family divorce my aunt this time?"
Song Jianshe thought it made sense and looked at Song Mei.
Song Mei's face changed, and the handkerchief in her hand was rubbed like a rag.
Lin Lianhua knew Song Mei very well. When she married Song Jianshe, she was often irritated by Song Mei. Song Mei, the sister-in-law, was not a good-tempered person. She said that Zhao Donglai was wrong in every sentence, but she didn't say why she agreed to the divorce, which showed that she was the one who was wrong in this matter.
"Tell me, why are you mute!"
Huang Xirong urged, "What's going on? Tell me now. Your brother is trying to support you, but you are still mute?"
Song Mei lowered her head and squeezed out a sentence from between her teeth: "He, he just heard nonsense from others. Others said that I had an affair with Dr. Sun, and he believed it, so he had to divorce me!"
The room was quiet for a moment.
Huang Xirong and Song Jianshe were silent.
How could they not understand Song Mei? Song Mei has done many things of cheating. She was like this when she was young and dating someone, but she didn't expect that she would still be like this after getting married.
Lin Lianhua was so happy at this moment, she sneered, "So, it's impossible. Then we will go and testify for you. It's better to demolish ten temples than to break up a family. Since Zhao Donglai has a misunderstanding, let's clear up the misunderstanding."
"Don't, don't go!"
Song Mei grabbed Lin Lianhua's hand.
She stiffened her neck, "Divorce is fine. I have long looked down on Zhao Donglai, the eunuch. I, Song Mei, am still young. I don't believe that I can't find a better partner than him!"
Huang Xirong had a glimmer of hope in her heart, hoping that the concubine was innocent, but the concubine's behavior clearly showed that she was trying to cover up the truth.
What else did she not understand?
Huang Xirong didn't know what to say when Song Mei had such confidence in him.
Song Mei and Zhao Donglai divorced in a hurry. She didn't bring back some things. The Zhao family sent them to her the next day and also gave her two hundred yuan.
The person who helped to send the money was a relative of the Zhao family. He knew about Song Mei and Zhao Donglai and was very disgusted with the Song family. He threw the money down and said, "This money is given by my uncle. Although you girls have nothing to do with it, my uncle thought that after all, you girls have been married for so many years and now your girl has been suspended. You can't be without money. This two hundred yuan is for her. Let's part ways in peace!"
Song Mei was very angry, but she didn't have the guts to say no.
She really didn't have any savings, because she had no children and felt that she was deceived into marriage. She spent every penny she had over the years and asked the Zhao family for money when she had no money. She
was used to eating and drinking lavishly. When she wanted to buy breakfast this morning, she realized that she only had ten yuan on her.
The Song family didn't say anything, and the person who sent the gifts looked down on this family even more.
If anyone had any backbone and threw the money back, he would still look up to them.
When the person who sent the gifts was leaving, he said, "By the way, our two families are no longer relatives after the divorce. I have to tell you that Donglai has already started looking for a partner."
These words were purely meant to provoke the Song family.
As soon as everyone left, Song Mei was so angry that she pointed at the door and cursed. She gritted her teeth and said, "Looking for a partner, who doesn't know how to find a partner? He Zhao Donglai is a living eunuch. Any woman who likes him will be in trouble!"
Song Mei said decisively, "Mom, I also want to find a partner. I want to find a man who is a hundred times better than Zhao Donglai!"
Gu Yinxing didn't pay attention to the farce between the Zhao and Song families.
At first, she tried to remind Song Mei that Zhao Donglai was not good enough, but he didn't listen. After getting married, Song Mei probably found out about it early, but she didn't divorce. Instead, she was forced to divorce Zhao Donglai because of the rumors about her and Dr. Sun.
She has long realized that some people's suffering is really self-inflicted.
But she avoided things, but she couldn't help but find them.
Zhao Donglai got married for the second time. He brought the invitation to the hospital and gave it to everyone.
Chen Dengdeng looked at the bright red invitation and exclaimed, "Are you getting married?"
"Yes," Zhao Donglai looked much better today than before, no longer so gloomy. When he came before, his face was scary: "My husband is a martyr. There are three children in the family. It just so happens that I can't have children. We can get what we need."
Chen Dengdeng sighed and said quickly: "Very good, very good, as long as the parents raise this child, it will be their own."
Zhao Donglai said: "I think so too. You must come if you are free. This time the banquet will definitely be rich."
He gave an invitation to almost everyone, even Gu Yinxing.
Gu Yinxing also congratulated him.
Zhao Donglai looked at her, his lips moved, and after a while he whispered "I'm sorry" and left.
After he left, Chen Dengdeng ran over and said, "Yinxing, Zhao Donglai got married for the second time too quickly, and why did he send us an invitation?"
"You are really confused, he wants us to tell Song Mei." A nurse next to him whispered, "Otherwise, why would he send us an invitation when he has no relationship with us? However, he is quite honest and dares to say that he can't have children."
"Oh, so that's what happened."
Chen Dengdeng suddenly realized, "Should we still go?"
Gu Yinxing tapped her head, "Why should we go? We're so busy that we can't even handle it, not to mention that we don't have to give red envelopes when we go to a wedding?"
"That's true." Chen Dengdeng nodded, "In that case, we won't go. In fact, he might marry someone who's quite suitable this time."
Gu Yinxing thought so in her heart.
In the first place, there shouldn't be any secrets in marriage. The family's conditions and one's own situation should all be made clear. She heard that the Zhao family had been blackmailed by Song Mei for a lot of money in recent years. In her opinion, this was also the Zhao family's own fault.
Their son was not capable but he cheated in marriage, and Song Mei had such a handle on him, so they couldn't stand up straight, and that's why they suffered for so many years.
If you had faced the reality from the beginning and had met the conditions, why would you have suffered so much?
Gu Yinxing and others did not go to Zhao Donglai's wedding.
However, it was said that the wedding was very respectable. The Zhao family married the daughter-in-law with two daughters and a son. The children appeared at the wedding, and Zhao Donglai treated them very well.
It was said that the conditions of the target were average, but he had a stable job. Although he was not as beautiful as Song Mei and was older, he was capable and capable.
After Song Mei heard that Zhao Donglai had found such a target, she laughed at home for several days, but she could not laugh after that.
The Zhao family's affairs had caused quite a stir, and her reputation of being lazy, mean, and fickle had spread.
If she had a job, the marriage would be easier, and she could find a man who was not particular about things, but she was suspended from work with pay, which was equivalent to not being able to make money.
A woman who could not make money and could cheat on someone at any time, all the matchmakers shook their heads when they heard that it was Song Mei, and no matter how much money Huang Xirong promised, it was useless.
A rude matchmaker said directly, "Big sister, it's not that we don't want to help, it's that your daughter didn't handle things decently. If your daughter wants to divorce, then divorce. Why did she cheat? Which man dares to marry such a woman? But, didn't your daughter have an affair with another man? Why didn't she go back to that man?"
This was heartbreaking, but it was not without reason.
But when Huang Xirong went to ask Song Mei, Song Mei's face turned green.
If Sun Youpeng was willing to marry her, why would she go on a blind date!
"Why, that man doesn't want to marry you?"
Huang Xirong widened his eyes and looked at Song Mei with his hands on his hips.
Song Mei was embarrassed and angry, and turned away, "Mom, don't ask!"
"I won't ask, I won't ask you but don't make trouble for me!"
Huang Xirong was so angry that she almost died, "You cheated on me, but why did you choose such a bad man? You also laughed at Zhao Donglai for not finding a good partner. Now you should find a partner!" "
That's right, you stay at home for free every day,"
Lin Lianhua also had a lot of opinions. Song Mei was used to living a happy life in the Zhao family and never did housework. Now that she is divorced and back, she is still very stubborn and often asks Song Chaohua to run errands: "In the past half month since you came home, the water and electricity bills at home have already caught up with last month's."
"What's wrong with me eating and drinking for free? This is my home!"
Song Mei said very impolitely.
Huang Xirong didn't side with her this time, "If you don't give money to the family, you'll have to move out!"
Song Mei was stunned.
A smug smile flashed across Lin Lianhua's lips.
She had suffered a lot from Song Mei when she was young, and now it was retribution.
The Song family was in chaos.
Song Dabao was about to cry, but was slapped by Song Chaohua. Song Dabao covered his head with grievance, "You hit me? I'm going to tell grandma."
"Go tell her, tell her not to expect me to buy you snacks in the future."
If there is one good thing about this life, it is that Song Chaohua has realized what it means to beat children as early as possible.
In her previous life, she was bullied by her younger brother and was often treated like a slave. It's not that Song Dabao didn't want to bully her in this life, but Song Chaohua was strong and an adult, so it was easy for him to control a child.
Song Dabao was stunned for a moment, and weighed in his mind whether it was better to vent his anger or to have snacks. In the
end, he chose snacks.
Song Chaohua took him out to buy popsicles, which cost five cents each. Song Chaohua bought one for herself, and she and Song Dabao sat on the curb outside the canteen.
When Gu Yousi and Lan Lin came back, she called them.
"Gu Yousi." Song Chaohua called her, stood up, and looked at her straight in the eyes.
Gu Yousi glanced at Song Chaohua, a little surprised. Song Chaohua had already walked over and said, "I have something to tell you."
After sending Lan Lin away, Gu Yousi looked at Song Chaohua with some curiosity, not knowing what Song Chaohua wanted to say.
To her surprise, Song Chaohua said, "Thank you for the previous doll."
Gu Yousi was stunned for a moment, "Nothing, after all, you sweep the most and cleanest streets."
Song Chaohua is indeed very capable.
Song Chaohua shook her head, "I'm not taking your things for nothing. Isn't your grandmother going to the Forbidden City to film a movie soon? Let me tell you, tomorrow there will be a trafficker in the Forbidden City who wants to steal a child. His parents are leaders, and your family helped him. He will repay you a big favor. I'm telling you this news, and we're even now."
Gu Yousi looked at Song Chaohua in surprise, and before she could ask, Song Chaohua had already left. It seemed that she really came here just to say this.
Gu Yousi was feeling very confused. Lan Lin ran over and saw her in deep thought, so he asked, "What's wrong with Niuniu?"
"Yeah, nothing's wrong."
After traveling for so many years, Gu Yousi naturally didn't really think that she was living in a book. She had long realized that many things were different from the content in the book. Although the book didn't mention the human trafficker, Song Chaohua came all the way to tell her, so it was very likely true.
But why did Song Chaohua come all the way to tell her?
Was it because of the Barbie doll?
There were many thoughts in her mind that she couldn't figure out. During the meal, Gu Yousi was a little absent-minded, thinking about how to convince her grandmother to go to the Forbidden City with her, and how to catch the human trafficker tomorrow.
Moreover, we don’t know the time and place where the trafficker committed the crime. Such general information is really a headache.
She didn't notice at all. He Chunlian and the others slowed down their eating.
Liang Ying looked at He Chunlian and asked, "Mom, do you know what's going on?"
He Chunlian blinked. How could she know? But it was true that they were going to film in the Forbidden City tomorrow, but she hadn't had time to tell her family yet.
So? Niuniu, this is very likely to happen!
Gu Jinshui looked very serious.
"Mom..."
"Grandma..." Gu Jinshui and Gu Yousi spoke almost at the same time.
The father and daughter looked at each other, and Gu Yousi said first: "Are you going to the Forbidden City to film tomorrow?"
"Yes." He Chunlian was very cooperative, "Do you want to come and take a look?"
"Then our whole family will go!" Gu Jinshui said immediately.
Gu Yousi: "..."
Although the result was a little different from what was expected, it was not necessarily a bad thing.
She was only a few years old, and even if she saw people selling things, what could she do? She still needed adults to help.
"Then why not just ask Yan Qian and his family if they are free, and we can go together."
Liang Ying suggested.
So, it was originally just the Gu family's business, but suddenly Yan Qian and his wife also came, and Lan Yeping and his family heard that they were going to the Forbidden City, and they also said they wanted to go and take a look together.
The number of visitors increased several times, but Gu Yousi felt relieved.
