Chapter 90 The annulment of the marriage: a trip to the provincial capital



After seeing Zhao Di off, Zhao Zhigao arrived.

Zhao Zhigao hesitated and stammered, "Well, sir, I'm really sorry, I... I probably can't help you with this."

"What's the meaning?".

"My marriage to Zhou Mingjiao is dissolved. I feel that a marriage without love is not a good one. Besides, there is no happiness in forcing it. If my dad finds out, he will definitely break my legs," Zhao Zhigao finally said.

"What about the letters you have?" Shen Banxia thought of a question.

“I have already returned it to Comrade Zhou Mingjiao. I feel that it is immoral for a man to keep a girl’s letter in his hands. Since there is no longer any emotional foundation, I should not act like a petty person.”

Shen Banxia never expected that Zhao Zhigao would come to talk about this matter.

However, given the current situation, there's no point in forcing Zhao Zhigao to comply since he's unwilling.

Thinking about Xiuzhu who had inexplicably pushed her, and about Zhao Zhigao, she felt that there was something she didn't know about.

This feeling of not knowing anything made Shen Banxia uneasy.

Zhao Zhigao looked at Shen Banxia with a nervous expression, "Boss, why don't you beat me up to vent your anger?"

Shen Banxia glared at him, annoyed. "Alright, why would I hit you? If you hadn't agreed to this in the first place, I wouldn't have bothered with it. Now that you're unwilling, then forget it. After all, it's a major life event for you."

"Then, what about my dad's medical treatment?"

Okay, so this is what was waiting for me. Thinking of the task left by the script, "It won't affect anything."

"That's wonderful," Zhao Zhigao finally felt relieved.

"By the way, there are only two days left. Why did you suddenly decide to call off the engagement? Has the Zhou family not reacted at all? They've already notified the whole village. Aren't they afraid of losing face?" Shen Banxia asked curiously.

Zhao Zhigao scratched his head. "This matter is not under my jurisdiction. Comrade Zhou Mingjiao said that she will handle it entirely."

Well, Shen Banxia thought she might be able to find out some information.

Meanwhile, Zhou Mingjiao felt like her head was about to explode, but the joy of receiving the letter and the relief of annulling the engagement made her eager to tell her father about it.

She couldn't wait until it was time to finish work and went straight to the brigade headquarters.

Seeing her father still dealing with the matter, Zhou Mingjiao happily said, "Dad, my marriage with Zhao Zhiqing has been dissolved."

Seeing his little girl's happy expression, Zhou's father couldn't help but frown. After listening to what she had to say, he said, "You're being ridiculous."

Zhou Mingjiao just wanted to share her joy, "Dad, I've already told you everything, I'm going back to find Mom."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Zhou's father to reply.

Accountant Zhang never expected to hear such explosive news. This youngest daughter of the Zhou family is really something else, going back and forth like this.

"Old Zhou, your son-in-law is gone again. It seems you'll really have a hard time getting to drink this wedding wine."

Zhou's father glared at him.

Accountant Zhang didn't care at all. "Old Zhou, tell me, what are young people thinking these days? One minute they want to get married, the next they don't. If this were our time, tsk tsk tsk," he shook his head, his meaning unspoken.

Mr. Zhou also felt ashamed and angry. Why didn't he think to do it in private?

Isn't it a bit embarrassing to just say it so casually?

Does she really not care about getting married in the future?

Now, even Zhou's father is starting to doubt whether what the old monk said back then was true.

Could it be that the old woman was deceived?

Seeing that Mr. Zhou did not respond, Accountant Zhang touched his nose and ultimately did not continue to press Mr. Zhou's lungs.

While busy in her private plot, Zhou's mother was furious after hearing what her youngest daughter had to say.

"Jiaojiao, you, you're so impulsive! Don't you know what others will think of you? How will you ever get married like this? Also, what's the deal with that Zhao Zhigao? And what's the relationship between you and that Liu Zhe?"

Two days ago, Zhou's mother saw her daughter getting quite close to that educated youth named Liu Zhe who wore glasses. She was originally going to remind her, since she was about to get married.

And what was the result?

She heard something that, if it weren't for the fact that it was her own daughter, she would have loved to give the person a good dressing down.

"Mother, don't worry about it so much. Anyway, I don't need to get married now, and you don't need to worry about the letter. As for Liu Zhe's money, Mother, I won't tell you for now. I'll tell you after things are settled."

Zhou's mother was furious. "You, you're always so secretive. Mingjiao, don't do anything bad! Look at that Xiuzhu, she looks so gentle and refined, but I never expected her to be so wicked."

I still feel scared now. "How could she be so vicious? If she had told your fourth brother, his life would have been ruined. That good-for-nothing fourth brother even wanted to ask your father for help to plead for him. Ugh, that ignorant fool. She was a poisonous snake."

"Thank goodness the police officers were wise; it's truly a blessing from heaven."

Zhou Mingjiao was impatient to listen to all this. She knew the truth of the matter, and she felt as if her mother's words of abuse were being said to her.

"Alright, Mother, let's not talk about those things anymore. What about that matchmaker Wang? Didn't you ask her for compensation?" She changed the subject directly.

"Do you think I don't want to look for her? I clearly asked her to help me inquire, but what happened? But your fourth brother will need her help in the future, so I can't offend her. Let's just forget about it."

Zhou Mingjiao nodded indifferently, "So what are Fourth Brother's thoughts now?"

"He's such a short-sighted guy. He said he's not going to get married in the future. It makes me so angry."

“Mother, Fourth Brother isn’t that old anyway, let’s take it slow,” Zhou Mingjiao comforted her, though she had other plans and was ready to try again.

"He's still young. Some people his age already have children. I told you, the ones in the county town aren't all that great."

Zhou Mingjiao secretly curled her lip. You didn't say that when you used to go out and show off.

"Alright, Mother, take your time with these things. I want to go to the provincial capital."

"No way," Zhou's mother said, her face darkening as she thought of what had happened last time. Her sister-in-law looked down on her, and even her daughter was on good terms with her aunt. She wouldn't stand for that.

"Mother, I have important business to attend to." I had already found out the details of what I was asking my aunt in the letter I wrote last time.

Moreover, she had another idea about Su Yu, and also, she had another dream that was related to her uncle's boss.

However, thinking about how Madam Zhou and Shen Banxia had become close last time, she felt that they couldn't stay in the village. She had a feeling that something bad would happen; it was just a gut feeling.

But Zhou's mother was determined not to agree. Zhou Mingjiao felt her head buzzing. She already had a headache, and now she felt dizzy and her body went limp. Then she lost consciousness.
