Chapter 40 Encounter

As soon as Shi Wenya returned to the village, she naturally ate the melon. She originally wanted to stay at home for one night, but she was so excited that she couldn't stay at home. She glanced at her son, and after dinner she couldn't wait to come back and share it with Pu Xiang.

It’s wonderful, really wonderful!

Compared to the affairs of Shi Dafu and Lin Meihua, Pu Xiang's divorce is nothing. Even Zhou Xiaorou's divorce and stealing something before leaving are nothing compared to this.

Lin Meihua said that the baby in her belly was Shi Dafu's, but no one in the village really believed it.

This person was Mo Xiaochun's wife the day before, and the next day she was Shi Dafu's wife. So this child belongs to whoever she says it belongs to?

Although Pu Xiang thought that Lin Meihua, a shameless person, would definitely want to do something to let her marry into the Shi family, she never thought that she was so "capable".

Moreover, they are so proactive.

None of the chaos that Pu Xiang had expected happened, and Lin Meihua achieved her goal.

Looking at Shi Dafu's feelings towards her, it can be said that he truly loves her.

The two of them got married as they wished in this life, and Pu Xiang really wanted to see how their life would be like.

Shi Wenya's face was filled with exclamations: "My mother-in-law said that Uncle Shi Hai was almost mad to death. After Lin Meihua moved into the Shi family, he just lay in bed and never got up again."

This is really like being mad to death. No matter which family it is, they would not be able to bear this, not to mention that the Shi family is well-off and Shi Hai is a person who particularly cares about face.

If my son really likes a divorced woman, but she is not from his village and he doesn't know her well, then it's fine.

But now, it’s not just the same village, but also the same production team. What’s even more exaggerated is that this person was someone else’s daughter-in-law the day before, but left her own family the next day.

Other families marry their daughter-in-law from her parents' home, but his family is different and they marry her directly from her ex-husband's home.

No, I didn’t marry her. I just packed my bags and came to my house.

It's so funny to tell others about it.

Pu Xiang has suffered a lot in the Shi family throughout her life, but she is a person who cares about her reputation and cannot do such a disrespectful thing.

Now that the Shi family has a new daughter-in-law, Shi Hai, the father-in-law, still wants to behave in the same way as before. He appears to be sensible, but in fact he dotes on his son and does not treat his daughter-in-law as a human being, but just as a working ox or a horse. Do you think this will work?

Shi Wenya saw Pu Xiang was actually laughing and immediately pointed at her: "You can actually still laugh, it seems like you really don't care about this."

Pu Xiang said: "I really care. I really hope that Lin Meihua will marry Shi Dafu. Now that I have fulfilled my wish, it will be Lin Meihua's turn to feel that her man is constantly having mistresses outside."

Don’t say that Shi Dafu will change and that he truly loves Lin Meihua. She only knows that this man is a stubborn person who can’t change his bad habits.

Apart from Lin Meihua, he couldn't count the number of people he had worked with on both hands.

Pu Xiang smiled even more happily: "After we finish work tonight, let's go have a midnight snack to celebrate. I'll treat you."

Although she has lived in the county town for some time, Pu Xiang has rarely eaten out.

Except for the noodles from the neighboring house.

Speaking of the word "midnight snack", Shi Wenya thought it sounded very fashionable and immediately nodded with interest.

"Okay, okay, what shall we eat? I noticed that Station Road sells the most food at night."

The two discussed for a long time and finally decided to go to a shop selling salted pig's trotters on the other side of the station road.

The aroma of the brine-cured pork trotter slices is so fragrant that it can kill you.

There are many female customers coming to the store. After getting familiar with each other, they will inevitably mention these food, clothing and daily necessities stores during their conversations.

When the shop closed, Pu Xiang and Shi Wenya couldn't wait to ride their bikes there.

There were quite a few people there at night, both men and women.

It turns out that there is always a shortage of rich people in this world.

Pu Xiang and Shi Wenya entered the store, ordered a plate of salted pork, and took two bottles of soda.

Although Pu Xiang wanted to have a drink to celebrate, she restrained herself considering that they were two women and this was not the future.

The whole store was filled with the aroma of halved pig's trotters. Pu Xiang and Shi Wenya were drooling as they waited.

When the pig's trotters were served, the two of them started eating without any hesitation, each using chopsticks.

The pig's trotters are so soft that they melt in your mouth.

After eating three pieces in a row, the gluttony of the two was finally suppressed a little.

"It's delicious! Next time I go home, I'm going to buy some to take back!"

Seeing such delicious food, the first thing Shi Wenya thought of was to let her family taste it.

She has money now, so she is willing to buy this little food. Besides, she doesn't buy it every day.

When Pu Xiang heard her say this, similar thoughts flashed through her mind. Unfortunately, she no longer had anyone close enough for her to think of bringing back something delicious when she ate it.

Forget about my son and ex-husband. The only people from my mother's family are my sister-in-law, nephews and nieces. But I have to go back to my mother's house to see the three of them. So let's forget about it. The only ones left are Mo Yang and Mo Jingjing?

These two people are now her closest family members in name only.

Husband, stepdaughter.

Pu Xiang soon stopped thinking about these things. She had just filled her stomach, so there was no need to think about some things so urgently.

It's good to be alone.

"Xiaoling, you're not going to go back alone later, let me take you there, or I won't be able to rest assured that you'll be walking at night like this."

The man's friendly voice came from behind Pu Xiang. There were people coming and going in the store, and she had not paid attention to the people around her. But when these words came out, it sounded like a couple in love having a quarrel, and her gossipy heart suddenly emerged.

It wasn't just Pu Xiang, almost everyone in the store turned around to take a look.

There were two young women sitting at a table behind Pu Xiang, and there was a man who looked older than the two of them standing in front of the table.

These words were said by this man. Looking at the two women sitting there, their expressions were not very good, and each one's brows were wrinkled tighter than the other.

"We are two people, not one. You don't need to send us off."

"Xiaoling, don't be embarrassed. This is a new society. It's normal for men and women to fall in love. You're divorced and I'm single. We don't have to worry about other people gossiping about us. My parents don't care that you're married. We can be together openly."

As soon as these words came out, almost everyone in the store looked at that "Xiao Ling". Now is a new society, but there are not many divorced women after all. How many years has it been since the chastity arch was torn down? How long has it been since women were faithful to one man and men had three wives and four concubines? The term "pig cage" is still on the lips of some old people.

The two young women were so angry that they couldn't take it anymore, especially "Xiao Ling", who was shaking all over.

No matter how delicious the halved pig's trotters were, they could no longer eat them. The other woman stood up and prepared to take the people away.

Pu Xiang felt that "Xiao Ling" looked familiar after she turned around, but she just couldn't remember where she had seen her before. She tried hard to recall, and when she heard that the other person was divorced, she suddenly remembered.

Isn’t this the woman from the divorced couple she met when she came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau on the day of her divorce?

The woman with red eyes from crying even said to the other person, "Come on!"

"Hey, Xiaoling, what a coincidence that I meet you here. Do you remember me? I met you at the entrance of the Civil Affairs Bureau. We got divorced on the same day."

Pu Xiang simply turned around and greeted the woman named Xiaoling.

The other party was stunned for a moment, then when reminded, she remembered that she had met a divorced woman at the gate of the Civil Affairs Bureau that day.

She had a deep impression that she went in crying and the other person came out laughing.

"Sister, it's you."

Xiaoling was stunned and then surprised. She tried hard to connect Pu Xiang's face with the woman in her memory.

But it's really difficult. Apart from the facial features that do seem to be somewhat similar, and the short hair, the rest of the clothing and the overall appearance are not similar at all.

Pu Xiang smiled and turned around a little, moving the empty chair at the opposite table for four a little further.

"It's me. What a fate. You guys are here to eat too. My little sister and I are here too. Why don't we sit together and eat and chat?"

Without waiting for anyone's response, he turned around and asked Shi Wenya to help him take the dishes and move to a seat.

Pu Xiang raised her soda and said to Xiao Ling, "Come on, girl, let's have a drink together to celebrate our escape from those rotten men who ate, drank, gambled and prostituted and our new life. I wish we all have a good life in the future, meet good men, and be grateful for this beautiful new society!"

Pu Xiang acted so arrogantly that Xiaoling, her female companions, and Shi Wenya were all confused by her and just stared blankly at her as they raised their glasses.

However, because of Pu Xiang's words and actions, the people in the store retracted their gazes that were watching the excitement... Because Pu Xiang was too generous and confident, they couldn't help but think a little more in their minds, maybe the divorce was the man's fault?

Yes, in this new society, divorce is no longer a big new thing.

It's really miserable for this woman to meet a bad man. If she can't leave him, she will be dragged down for the rest of her life.

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen to what they said.

After finishing the cup, Pu Xiang raised her head and looked coldly at the man standing by the table, not knowing whether to leave or stay.

"Comrade, nowadays we are against arranged marriages by parents and advocate for free love. But you are in front of so many people, talking about your partner's divorce and your family not caring. Do you really like her, or do you just want to tell others, and yourself, that this woman is a second-married woman and you are single, superior to her, and more than worthy of her, right? You step on someone and then give alms to them from a high position. It's hard for people to believe that you are a good match for them. If you don't think that building a family in the future will be a happy thing, it will only make people feel that they owe you something and should work hard for you and always be inferior to you. Moreover, can't you see that what you said makes people feel uncomfortable? Have you considered other people's feelings? How will others look at her when you casually say divorce? There are so many gay men here, I just want to ask, if you want to be with a girl, will you tell others that she is divorced, and don't you care? "

Of course not.

This is not something glorious. Divorce is legal, but many people still think divorce is shameful.

There were people who, like Pu Xiang, felt uncomfortable after hearing the man's words and also saw through the other party's intentions. Now that someone spoke, a big brother sitting in the corner immediately said "good".

No man should look down upon such a man.

Someone else said, "Yes, comrade, if you want to date someone, you have to think about them more."

The man still had some dignity. In such a situation, his face turned red, he pursed his lips, turned around and left.

It looked a bit angry and embarrassed.

Xiaoling's female companion looked very happy, and she also raised her soda like Pu Xiang did just now: "Sister, I toast you! Xiaoling got divorced because she met a bad man. The man's family was extremely poor and had nothing. He was attracted to Xiaoling's family because she was a dual-career family and her parents both had jobs. He was obsessed with her and after they got married, he took over Xiaoling's mother's shift and took over her job. As a result, he turned around and got together with the factory director's daughter, forcing Xiaoling to divorce, beating and scolding her, and almost beating her parents. It was the man's parents who made up bad things about Xiaoling everywhere, saying that she abused her in-laws and had an affair with others. Xiaoling's parents were so angry that they were sent to the hospital."

Xiaoling looked like a soft-hearted person, and her eyes became red again as she sat there.

Pu Xiang and the other people who heard the gossip felt angry for her. That man was such a jerk.

"Okay, it's all in the past. Think about it from another perspective. It's a good thing to divorce now. The biggest loss would be for you to spend your whole life with a man like this. You are still young now, you can start over. It's not too late."

Pu Xiang looked full of strength. Xiao Ling looked at her and then thought of herself. She would just cry when something happened. Just like before, she just wanted to avoid that man and didn't think of saying anything back.

She is so useless.
