Pan Zhaodi was looking for a date at home at the moment. She was very satisfied with the man in front of her. Not only was he a real city dweller, he also had a stable job as the captain of the security team of a county textile factory, with no less than 30 people under him. He also promised that as long as she nodded, he would arrange for her to work as a temporary worker in the county.
Pan Zhaodi was extremely happy. She really had wasted so much of her youth on Xie Zhenghe. That man had no ambition and was not as impressive as the man in front of her.
Although this man looks rough and even a little scary, he has three children at home. But what's the big deal? He still has three children.
Xie Zhenghe is good-looking, but he still works in the fields to make a living. The women he married don't have to go to the bathroom every day, and they have fine lines on their faces and their hands are much rougher.
Seeing Pan Zhaodi lowering her head, Pan's mother was extremely anxious. It was already very good for Zhaodi, a divorced woman, to find a man like him. He just wanted someone who had given birth to children and could take care of his own children. Otherwise, there would be nothing wrong with finding a virgin girl.
"Zhao Di! What are you thinking? You see, Daguo is a really good man. If you marry him, you won't get a monthly stipend of 18 yuan. Daguo is willing to give you a 100 yuan and a sewing machine as a betrothal gift. What a good offer! Why are you still hesitating?"
"Yes! Third sister, you should agree to it quickly!" Pan Jiabao was also anxious. This man's conditions were really good. He could get a salary of more than 40 yuan per month, plus his third sister's.
His third sister knew how to feel sorry for his parents, unlike his other sisters. None of his other sisters had a conscience and were all poor. As long as his third sister married well, he would have a good life in the future. If his third sister could give birth to a child in two years, he would want to find a job in the county town, and this brother-in-law would definitely agree.
Zhou Daguo was also very satisfied with the woman in front of him. Although he had his work, because of his appearance, not many people were willing to live with him. There were some before, but they treated his children very badly after getting along with him. Some even secretly beat and scolded his children for being a burden.
Although the woman in front of me is divorced, I learned from her that she is reluctant to leave her child. However, her in-laws are too powerful and have connections in the police station. How can a weak woman like me fight against them?
Pan Zhaodi smiled at Zhou Daguo and said, "We can get married, but I think we can get along with each other first. On the one hand, I wonder if your child will like me. If not, there's no need to force it. On the other hand, we can try to get along with each other. After all, we're going to spend our whole lives together. I don't want to be abandoned again. We need to know each other's feelings. What do you think?"
Pan Zhaodi's words really touched Zhou Daguo's heart. "That's exactly what I mean. You are so kind-hearted. My three children will definitely like you. They are all good children and want to have a mother to love them. If you are willing, I will come to see you in two days and take you to visit the county town."
"Just come pick me up. Forget about going out for a walk. I can go to your house and spend some time with the children. I'm a pretty good cook. You can try my cooking sometime."
"Hey! Okay, okay, then... I'll go back first. Please accept this gift. I'll come to see you in two days."
Zhou Daguo kept the canned fruit, 1 ounce of liquor and a pound of sugar he brought with him.
Pan Zhaodi saw him out gently and considerately, and stood at the door until he was far away before turning back.
Pan's mother doesn't dare to provoke Pan Zhaodi now. She gets scared whenever she thinks about her little daughter plotting against her in secret.
Pan Zhaodi returned to the main room and just sat down and took a sip of water when she heard Xie Zhenghe's voice outside the door. Pan Zhaodi frowned.
"What are you doing here? You are not welcome in our home. Haha. You haven't discovered my sister's goodness and want to persuade her to go back?" Pan Jiabao looked at Xie Zhenghe sarcastically.
"That's right. Our Zhaodi doesn't like you now. You'd better leave as soon as possible! Look at what kind of person you are now. You are so shameless." Pan's mother swept the door with a broom, and she was about to hit him with it.
Pan Zhaodi also thought so, otherwise why would he come? After all, she was very good-looking at the time, and she was still a virgin when she was with him. It was impossible for him to have no feelings for her at all. Thinking of this, Pan Zhaodi walked out, looking at Xie Zhenghe with arrogance.
Xie Zhenghe didn't care what they thought, "Pan Zhaodi, I have something to tell you, please come out for a moment."
"Heh~ What? Is there anything you can't say here? Why do you have to go out?"
When Pan Zhaodi heard Xie Zhenghe asking her to leave, she became more certain of her thoughts.
"Are you sure you want to talk about the subsidy certificate here?" Xie Zhenghe was too lazy to talk nonsense and asked directly.
Pan Zhaodi's expression suddenly changed. "Go out and talk, go out and talk."
Walking into the grove at the door, Xie Zhenghe looked at her and said, "Pan Zhaodi, hand over Baoya and Tiedan's subsidy certificates."
"How did you know it was with me? Su Li told me. Haha~ I said that the person I saw last time in the county town seemed to be her. Sure enough."
"Zhengchuan already knows. You know how important Baoya and Tiedan are to Zhengchuan. This is the money of those two children. You should hand it over honestly. Zhengchuan will not pursue you for the sake of Laifu, Xiangzhi and Xianglan. Otherwise, you will be sentenced to labor reform for pretending to be a military dependent."
Pan Zhaodi was annoyed when she saw Xie Zhenghe's careless look. "I have moved the passbook one cent at a time, but I have spent some of the more than 300 yuan I received, and there are still 185 left. I will give it all to you, but I have a request..."
"You are not qualified to make demands. I am already being very polite by coming here first. Zhengchuan will take office as the chief of the police station in two days. If he comes, he will take you directly to the police station. And you'd better return the money to me in full, otherwise you will bear the consequences."
"You...can't you just stop arguing with me for the sake of the child? I'll give you the remaining money, passbook, and subsidy certificate. Isn't that enough?" Pan Zhaodi looked at Xie Zhenghe with tears in her eyes.
Unfortunately, the man in front of her no longer wanted to watch her act.
“How about I go back first and let Zhengchuan come over to talk to you?”
"Okay~ Xie Zhenghe, you're so cruel, just wait." After saying that, she turned around and went back to the Pan family. After a while, she took something wrapped in black cloth and threw it into Xie Zhenghe's arms, "Here you go, hurry up. Oh! By the way, I guess I'm going to get married soon, so don't come to see me in the future. Even if you see me, it's best to pretend that you don't know me." Pan Zhaodi said retaliatorily.
"As you wish, but I'm really curious. Not to mention Xiangzhi, Xianglan, Laifu was loved by you since childhood. You really don't want him anymore."
Pan Zhaodi's expression froze for a moment, but she recovered immediately. "Of course I feel sorry for him, but I know he can't endure the hardship in the Xie family. I'm different. My father and mother didn't love me since I was a child. I can only live better if I stick close to them. Unfortunately, my sisters at home are ignorant. I put my hope on you, but you are still a mud-legged peasant with no ambition. You won't be able to live the life of a city dweller in your next life."
"Haha~ People with different ideas cannot work together. If you had said it frankly a few days earlier, you would have been relieved sooner." After Xie Zhenghe said this, he turned around and left.
Pan Zhaodi looked at his back and her lips moved slightly. No matter how much she refused to admit it, she knew in her heart that she had truly liked him. After all, he was educated and gentle, and he worked hard after they got married. It was just that she did not realize her wish in the end. She could only say that they were not destined to be together.
Pan Zhaodi was a little distraught after returning home. Pan Jiabao looked at his third sister like this and was afraid that she still had feelings for Xie Zhenghe and was unwilling to marry Zhou Daguo.
He hurriedly asked, "Third sister, what's wrong with you? Did he bully you? Don't worry, your younger brother will teach you a lesson. No matter what he says, you can't turn back! Don't forget that Big Brother will come to pick you up and take you to the city in two days."
Pan Zhaodi rolled her eyes and said, "I know, Jiabao, I just... I just can't bear to leave my child."
She was sobbing softly and looked pitiful.
Pan Jiabao slammed the table angrily, "I knew he was here to ask you to go back. He wanted to use the child to act pitiful. Bah!"
After saying that, he turned around, went out into the yard, and rode his bike out.
Pan Zhaodi wiped her tears with her hand and smiled as she watched Pan Jiabao leave. "Jiabao, don't blame me for being cruel. My good days are coming soon, and I will never allow anyone to ruin them."
