Chapter 75 Return to the Village
When we went to look for Mo Yang, it was Pu Xiang who drove. After we finished our meal and returned to the village, it was Mo Yang who drove again.
The two of them went to study for their driver's license together. Pu Xiang said that it would definitely be useful in the future. Mo Yang thought, no matter whether it would be useful or not, it wouldn't matter if they learned it or not, so they went together.
He thought more about it and thought that since he opened a factory and used trucks to load goods, he still studied for a truck driver's license just in case.
Pu Xiang also changed into a pair of high-heeled shoes in the car.
Mo Yang smelled the faint scent of perfume from the person next to him. He looked at her "fully armed" appearance, then looked at himself, and said, "How about I go back and change my clothes? I seem a little too casual in what I'm wearing?"
He was wearing his usual clothes, clean, simple and elegant. They were definitely not ugly, but still a little far from formal attire.
Pu Xiang thought of a funny joke from later generations and smiled: "No need, if we walk together like this, no one will think you are poor."
Mo Yang's mind suddenly turned and he finally understood what this meant. He immediately couldn't stop laughing.
"That's right. If I say I have business in Haishi with the way you are dressed now, people will believe me."
She is beautiful and fashionable, just like a rich lady.
Because of this, the two of them were in a good mood throughout the journey.
They kept talking and laughing until they reached the Shi family production team and turned off the road.
"A few years ago, I never would have dreamed that I could come back in a car."
Mo Yang suddenly felt a little emotional.
Pu Xiang was okay in this regard. She had been rich before. Not only could she drive a car, she had also bought a house in Haishi. These were nothing to her.
But she also sighed: "Yes, no one can predict the changes in life. I never thought that one day, I would come back with you."
They were just next-door neighbors before, but unexpectedly, they became a couple now, and they get along pretty well.
It's really unpredictable.
Mo Yang drove his car to the sun-drying field in front of his house. Normally, no one lived there, but now he saw some dead branches and leaves fallen on it.
The house, too, looked uninhabited and somewhat desolate.
Pu Xiang took a look and didn't go in: "It's not good for this house to be empty. It will deteriorate too quickly."
Mo Yang turned off the car and walked over to her.
He said: "I originally wanted to do something with the house, tear it down and turn it into a building, but then I thought, I don't have time to live there, so I just gave up."
There is also Shi Dafu's family in the village, and the two families are neighbors. He was afraid that Pu Xiang would feel uncomfortable if she came back to live with him.
Besides, he and Pu Xiang were both busy and had no time to come back, so he gave up on it.
Puxiang doesn't care about Shi Dafu now. This place will be demolished in a few years. If it is not demolished, it will be really nice to retire in the countryside.
While the two were talking, the neighbors next door had already gathered around.
The time Pu Xiang chose to return was exactly the time for the villagers to have dinner, and some people came over with their bowls in hand to look at the car.
"Hey, Mo Yang is back. Mo Yang is now a boss and has a car. He's really amazing."
Aunt Lin was the closest and ran the fastest. As soon as she saw Mo Yang, she started to exaggerate in a surprised tone.
This is a well-known person who loves to watch the excitement.
Mo Yang smiled and said, "It's not my car, I just borrowed it to drive it for a while, but I have to return it."
Aunt Lin shoveled two mouthfuls of rice into her mouth, swallowed them anxiously, and then quickly spoke: "Hey, hey, hey, they are all the same, all amazing. In two years, you will definitely be able to buy it yourself. Hey, this is... your girlfriend?"
In fact, she had already been glancing at Pu Xiang halfway through her words.
Aunt Lin asked carefully, but she was actually suspicious. Didn't she hear that Mo Yang married the third sister of a wealthy family? Why did he bring back another beautiful woman? She was tall, about the same height as the third sister.
Pu Xiang saw that Aunt Lin's neighbors hadn't recognized her for many years, and when she thought back to her past self, she really shook her head for herself.
"Auntie Lin, it's been such a short time since we last met, and you don't recognize me anymore?"
When this familiar voice came out, Aunt Lin couldn't help but take two steps forward, and she narrowed her eyes and stared at Pu Xiang's face.
"This is... Third Sister?"
Pu Xiang responded with a smile.
However, after she responded, Aunt Lin seemed not to believe it and stared at her for a long time.
"No, he really doesn't look like before."
That is to say, now, the villagers are still not familiar with the word plastic surgery. In a few years, it is guaranteed that Aunt Lin will immediately ask "Did you have plastic surgery?"
While Pu Xiang was greeting and talking to people, other neighbors also gathered around.
In addition to people like Aunt Lin who never leaves the village, there were also people who went to the county town for business during the New Year and other holidays and had been to Pu Xiang's store. Although they thought Pu Xiang was dressed particularly beautifully today, they all recognized her face.
"Mo Yang, Third Sister, what are you doing here this time? Are you planning to have a banquet?"
In the crowd, an old lady asked this question with a smile, and everyone else started laughing too. After thinking about it, they all felt that it made sense.
In the past two years, the villagers have watched Shi Dafu get divorced and remarried. Which one of them didn't cause a stir?
On the other hand, Mo Yang and Pu Xiang have been living a quiet life, so people have a better impression of them.
Of course, there are still people who think that Pu Xiang was wrong to get a divorce, but in front of others, she is living such a good life now, and unless they are stupid, they will not open their mouths to make trouble.
Who can guarantee that they won’t have to ask others for help in the future?
If anything, it should be said behind the scenes.
When Pu Xiang heard someone ask this, he smiled and said, "Don't put the wine away. Let's just live like this. I came back today for something else."
Naturally, someone asked what was going on.
Pu Xiang also said frankly: "It's not a big deal, it just has something to do with my child's schooling."
I won’t explain any more.
Pu Xiang took Mo Yang's hand and walked into Shi Dafu's house next door.
Someone else was busy, and although the neighbors liked to watch the commotion, they were also more sensible and just gathered outside to chat and talk, casually listening for any noise, but no one followed them into the house.
Shi Dafu and Lin Meihua were also at home, having dinner with their children. They saw the car passing by their door.
At this time, all cars are driven in the county town. You will never see them in the village. The small roads in the village are all paved with gravel and are only wide enough for one car to pass. If a car gets stuck in the middle of the road, it has to back up to the outside of the village.
There is no room at all.
Shi Dafu's heart skipped a beat when he saw the black car. There weren't many families like him in the area, and he didn't even have a relative who could afford a car. The only person who might have anything to do with cars was Mo Yang.
In the past, Shi Dafu had never cared about Mo Yang. With his parents having died early, his family being poor, and his brothers and sisters marrying far away, he was no different from an orphan.
However, in the blink of an eye, he became the boss.
Who can I go to for justice?
A poor guy like this can be a boss?
Shi Dafu was jealous, but he could only feel jealous.
The neighbors next door all gathered together. Shi Dafu listened to the voices and realized that Pu Xiang had also returned.
The ex-wife came back in a car.
This thought made Shi Dafu feel uncomfortable, but before he could say anything, Lin Meihua, who was feeding her baby, glanced over at him.
"Your wife is back. Why don't you go see her? She's very pretty now. She even opened a shop and is her own boss. She's very capable."
When Shi Dafu heard what she said, he immediately glared at her: "You're crazy!"
He discovered that Lin Meihua was losing her former gentleness and was no different from the gossipy women in the village. When it came to food, she was as angry as if she had taken gunpowder.
So now he is more and more willing to go out and unwilling to stay at home.
The couple here were sitting at the dinner table glaring at each other. They said a few words outside, but then he went straight into their house.
When Shi Dafu looked up, he saw this tall couple walking in arm in arm.
Mo Yang still looked the same, nothing good to see, but when Shi Dafu's eyes fell on the woman with long curly hair next to him, he was immediately stunned.
This is...cattail?
If you think about it carefully, Shi Dafu hasn't seen Pu Xiang for quite a long time.
He had always looked down on Pu Xiang. When they got married, he had hardly looked at her. He always thought she was ugly, tall, and tomboyish.
After she got divorced, Pu Xiang opened a shop and changed her style. Although he had met her once before, she still had short hair and wore mousse. At first glance, he thought she was a tomboy with lipstick and earrings.
But now it is different. Pu Xiang now has long hair, which is curled into big curls that look very feminine to some men. She has delicate and beautiful makeup on her face, and her lips, painted with red lipstick, also look small and plump.
This mouth must taste good to kiss!
Shi Dafu stared at his ex-wife as if he was meeting this woman for the first time.
The four people in the room were all acquaintances. None of them missed Shi Dafu's gaze, and none of them misread the other's thoughts.
Pu Xiang was the most surprised. How could Shi Dafu, this bastard, look at her like that?
Is he crazy?
Lin Meihua hadn't seen Pu Xiang for a long time, and was also shocked by Pu Xiang's appearance and the temperament he exuded.
Then, her gaze quickly fell on Shi Dafu.
As expected, this man is just like that. He always thinks the food in other people’s bowls tastes the best!
A wife is not as good as a concubine, a concubine is not as good as a mistress, which accurately summarizes him.
After a brief silence, Pu Xiang turned his gaze to Lin Meihua.
"What about dinner? I need to go back and discuss with Uncle Shi Hai about buying a house for Jiajie in the county. If you are almost done eating, why don't you come with us? After all, this is a big deal. As Jiajie's biological father and stepmother, you should know about it."
Lin Meihua's ears suddenly stood up.
"Buy a house, what house, what house?"
Lin Meihua had long wanted to buy a house in the county town, but Shi Dafu had never thought about it. Every time she mentioned it, he either pretended not to hear her or turned around and left.
Look now, her father-in-law is going to buy a house for his eldest grandson!
No, if this house can be bought, she wants it too. She must live in a commercial house. She will give birth to the eldest grandson of the Shi family, so it must be the same!
Pu Xiang paid attention to Lin Meihua's expression. She had just said this today, and it seemed that she was not far from achieving her goal.
Sure enough, she was on the right track.
Pu Xiang said slowly, "The child's grandfather wants to buy a house so that the child can go to school in the county, but he doesn't have enough money, so he wants me to pay half. Then the house will belong to the child and you can't get involved. I don't have any opinion on this matter, but I just want to make it clear to you in advance to avoid any unpleasantness caused by the house in the future. That would be meaningless."
Lin Meihua understood that the old man wanted to buy a house for his eldest grandson, and there was no share for her and the children!
This won’t work. Absolutely not!
She wants a house too!
