Chapter 24 Revealed

"Are you selling your sewing machine?"

Yu Abao's voice suddenly rose a half tone, "Why are you selling the sewing machine for no reason? How can I sew at home with my hands?"

It is so convenient to have a sewing machine, especially in summer. You can buy some cloth and sew a sweatshirt. You can also take old clothes that you don’t need and sew them. You can make clothes for children by altering the size of adults’ clothes.

Pu Xiang had already made plans, so she didn't want to keep it a secret at this time. Besides, the divorce would become unavoidable sooner or later, so she might as well tell it now.

"Aunt, and uncle, I'm not going to hide this from you. Actually, Shi Dafu and I are divorced."

Huh!

The whole family was shocked.

However, the title of Puxiang, the village's first divorced family, was taken away by Mo Yang and his wife. Now when people talk about divorce, although it is still a big deal, the impact is not that great after all.

The wrinkles between Yu Abao's eyebrows are so tight that they could pinch a fly to death.

"The child is already this old, why are you so depressed? Shi Dafu is a little lazy, but his father can control him. When the child grows up, won't you be able to get through this?"

Pu Xiang smiled. She didn't want to change the thinking of the older generation, nor could she.

Because she once thought the same way.

Pu Xiang said, "Mom, Shi Dafu is not only lazy, he also hooked up with another woman outside. I divorced him because I couldn't live like this anymore. I had no choice. He also took back the wedding gift. He was determined not to live with me. I had no choice."

Yu Abao usually has a bad mouth and a bad temper, otherwise he wouldn't have such a tough reputation in the village.

"What? He took the gift back? That doesn't make sense. He has never seen money in his life."

For Yu Abao, it's no big deal if a man cheats on his wife.

Obviously the bride price is more important.

Pu Xiang said nothing and took out the receipt written by Shi Dafu and the letter of guarantee.

Words are not enough, she has evidence in black and white.

Yu Abao and her husband could hardly read. Shi Wenya only graduated from primary school, but the man she married only had a junior high school education, so they could still understand this simple document.

Shi Chunmu, Yu Abao's man, said: "Shi Dafu is too outrageous!"

He felt that if this happened at home and his son behaved like this, he would be too embarrassed to go out.

Putting aside the divorce, look at Pu Xiang. Where can you find such a daughter-in-law? She is hardworking and a great cook. They are from the same production team. No matter which family she is in, she must have been married to Gao Xiang.

Wealth cannot last for more than three generations. It is true what our ancestors said was absolutely right. Shi Hai is such a smart man, but what kind of son is he?

Pu Xiang waited for Shi Chunmu and Yu Abao to stop scolding Shi Dafu, and then continued, "Uncle, Aunt, I don't want to say anything more to Shi Dafu about taking the money back. At that time, 666 yuan of betrothal money sounded good. People said that our Pu family married a daughter and the whole family enjoyed it. In fact, my parents are honest people. This betrothal money is not only for my wedding, but also for my family. "I took the rest of the dowry back to the Shi family. It's better to pay it back now so that I don't have to bear this in the future. Shi Dafu and I have agreed that he will take the money back and let me take my dowry. My parents think that my divorce is shameful and now they don't care about me. I'm thinking of selling all the dowry at a low price, and then rent a house outside with the money. Aunt, if you feel sorry for me, please help me and sell all these things."

Yu Abao wanted to persuade Pu Xiang a few more words, but when he thought about the receipt, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

This Shi Dafu is really not a human being.

"Okay, I'll ask around for you. It's not cheap to buy a new sewing machine these days. I'm sure there are people who want one."

Yu Abao agreed readily.

After this, Pu Xiang knew that things would be easy, so she said, "Aunt, here's what I'm thinking. Tomorrow I want to go to Shi's house to move my dowry. You can move the sewing machine here. It will fit in our house, and I'll give it to you at half the price. You can sell it later and ask for five or ten more yuan. It's up to you. It's convenient for me. You can just take the money and leave."

Huh?

Yu Abao thought about it and realized that was right. If she just transferred the money in the middle, as long as Pu Xiang didn't tell anyone, who would know how much she paid for it from Pu Xiang?

She could earn a little money by helping out.

Everyone is short of money these days, so Yu Abao became excited when he had the chance to make money.

"How can I accept this? I am just helping you. How can I ask for more money?"

Pu Xiang smiled, "Aunt, I don't have any money right now, and I can't go back to my parents' home. If you can help me, I'll thank you. It's only right that you make some money by selling it. I also have a men's watch, and you can ask for half the money. I also need to move my dowry tomorrow morning, and I'll need your help from uncle and Weiye. I'll sell all the pots, pans, bowls, and boxes and cabinets at a low price, so you can help me shout and take care of things."

Yu Abao and Shi Chunmu looked at each other and thought in their hearts that there would be a big show to watch tomorrow morning.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't interfere in other people's family affairs, but think about the sewing machine and the watch, they are all discounted, they are all good things.

If you help me, you can make a few dozen bucks by reselling it.

Yu Abao hesitated for only a moment, then immediately slapped his thigh and agreed.

"Okay, I'll help you with this, Third Sister, don't worry."

Even if she didn't do it, someone else would have done it. The money was earned in vain. If Shi Hai wanted to blame someone, he couldn't blame them. He should blame his own son.

Bah, this Shi Dafu thing is really worthless!

After agreeing to sell the dowry the next day, Pu Xiang and Shi Wenya cleaned up the table together, then said something and went out.

Now that the person involved was gone, Yu Abao's family could speak without any scruples.

Yu Abao asked his daughter-in-law directly: "What else did she tell you about the matter between Third Sister and Shi Dafu? Is she really not going to live with Shi Dafu anymore?"

It's no wonder she asked that; that's how family affairs are. They're just afraid that outsiders like them will take it seriously; the couple quarreled mightily, but then reconciled.

The disturbance made these outsiders feel like they were neither accepted nor accepted.

Shi Wenya thought for a moment and said, "It should be over. I saw that she went to the county town to find a job. She doesn't seem to be angry."

Yu Abao immediately asked: "Go to the county town to find a job? She is really brave."

Shi Chunmu said, "There are many private factories now. There is a color printing factory in our town. I heard that many people have gone there. There are probably more factories like this in the county. Workers in the factories get paid every month. Even if the salary is not as high as those in state-owned factories, it is not difficult to support yourself. Shi Hai, you have miscalculated this time. No matter how good your son is, you can't keep him even if you marry a good daughter-in-law."

Yu Abao nodded repeatedly and looked at his son again: "Did you hear me? Don't learn from Shi Dafu. Live a good life after you get married. Marrying a wife is not for you to be a servant. Don't go out and flirt with other women, otherwise I will break your legs! How can those be decent people? They are all after the money in the pockets of the masters!"

Shi Weiye: “…”

Shi Da* is rich and has nothing to do with other people's business. What does it have to do with him? Besides, he has no money in his pocket. Even if there are some improper women who want to be cheated, they will not choose him like this.

Isn't that a free gift? How could there be such a fool!

As soon as he saw that the topic was about to involve an innocent person like himself, Shi Weiye turned around and ran away. He would rather go out and fight with others than stay at home and be nagged by his mother.

Just a game, no money involved.

Yu A'mei ignored him and told her husband about Pu Xiang's plan to sell her dowry.

Finally, she thought this was a feasible thing to do, especially since Pu Xiang had a lot of dowry, as well as pots, bowls, and pans. She asked the women in the team to share the items. That way, if the Shi family wanted to blame someone later, it wouldn't be her alone.

…

Pu Xiang went out and headed east to find Zhou Fang.

Zhou Fang's family of three lived together in a small bungalow that looked a bit shabby. Her parents-in-law lived with Zhou Fang's husband's eldest brother and did not live with them.

It was dinner time, and few people in the countryside would close their doors. So her family was eating inside with the door open.

Pu Xiang walked straight in.

When Zhou Fang saw her, she immediately greeted her with a smile: "Why are you here, Third Sister? Please sit down. Do you want to ask about Jiajie? He is very well behaved in school."

Pu Xiang didn't sit down either, but stood there and said, "I'm not going to sit down. I just came to talk to you. Shi Dafu and I are divorced. If you want to do anything with him, leave as soon as possible. It's going to be cold soon. You should go behind the firewood pile every day. Don't catch a cold."

The slight smile on Zhou Fang's face disappeared instantly. Her face turned pale for a moment, and soon turned red again.

“You, you…”

She didn't know how to defend herself for a moment, and quickly looked at her man. How could Pu Xiang know about her and Shi Dafu? If she knew it earlier, why didn't she show it when she saw her before?

Zhou Fang’s husband is called Mo Xiaodi, who is well-known in the village for his good temper and honesty.

He had three brothers, and when the family property was divided, none of them got any share. These three bungalows were built with borrowed money from his two elder brothers. After they got married, the couple still couldn't pay off the loan for several years.

It was only after Zhou Fang became a teacher in the village school that things got a little better.

Brother Mo was really a little confused, and he asked Zhou Fang: "What are you doing behind the firewood pile?"

I really don’t know why Zhou Fang agreed to marry a man like this.

Pu Xiang finished what she wanted to say, turned around and left.

Zhou Fang didn't want to think about how she was going to spend the rest of her life. This was a problem that Zhou Fang should worry about herself. If she dared to cheat, she should have thought about the consequences of being caught.

Pu Xiang doesn't play the game of beating up the mistress. If she has to beat up someone, she will beat up both the scumbag and the scumbag. Once, after knowing these things, she chose to save everyone's face, worrying that her child would grow up with the reputation of having an unfaithful and scumbag father. She didn't say a word about these things, but the result was that she was miserable for half her life, while those who did wrong things lived a glamorous life.

Now, nothing can stop her from talking. Others dare to do it, so as a victim, there is nothing she dare not say.

Anyway, she is ready to fall out with them, so these people don't have an easy time.

Unfortunately, she can't go to Lin Meihua's house at this time.

Lin Meihua had just gotten married and had not yet met Shi Dafu.

The remaining women who had hooked up with Shi Dafu were either from other villages or in the town. She couldn't find them tonight for the time being.

After sleeping at Shi Wenya's house for a night, Pu Xiang got up early the next morning.

After packing up, she first rode her bike to the home of the village party secretary Shi Wenliang. Mo Yang's approach gave her inspiration. With the village party secretary keeping watch, it would be easier for her to get the dowry later. If it really didn't work, she could go to the town to call the police and get them to come. The police were still useful at this time.

She had a divorce certificate and Shi Dafu's receipt, so no one could find fault with her taking back the dowry.
