Chapter 079 You owe me the mayor's wife
To be precise, it was Lin Wanxia who underestimated Wang Cuiping's fighting ability.
In the evening, squad leader Zhang came to apologize and brought bedding.
Lin Wanxia generously said that the matter was over.
But they were over it, but Wang Cuiping was not.
Wang Cuiping had developed the habit of taking advantage or suffering losses since she was a child.
When she came back from the infirmary and saw that the door of the closet was open, she went forward to take a closer look and saw a corner of white handkerchief exposed in the pocket of her coat where she hid her money.
When she took it out and looked at it, she was almost angry to death.
Her money was missing.
Only squad leader Zhang knew that the money was hidden in the coat in the closet.
When squad leader Zhang came back from upstairs and just walked in the door, a tea bowl flew towards him.
He dodged subconsciously, tilted his head, and the tea bowl flew past his face and fell on the doorstep behind him with a crisp sound.
Without waiting for squad leader Zhang to speak, Wang Cuiping came over with a feather duster.
"Zhang Rulai, do you really want to stop living? Someone bullied me, came to my house and ruined our bedding, and you dared to steal my money to compensate that jerk." Wang Cuiping hit him and cursed.
Squad leader Zhang didn't dodge at first, thinking that she would let out her anger by hitting him twice and then the matter would be over. Unexpectedly, Wang Cuiping didn't hold back at all, and her words were not clean.
Not only did she curse him, Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian, but she also cursed his parents.
Squad leader Zhang was from Shandong and valued filial piety.
I couldn't stand it any longer, so I snatched the feather duster and threw it on the ground, "Wang Cuiping, have you made enough trouble? I made the money! I want to pay you back. If you don't go to make trouble, will they come to make trouble with us?
You have been married to me for three years, and I ask myself if I have never treated you unfairly, right? I have always given in to you and tolerated you, but what about you? You are getting more and more domineering in the family compound every day, making the sisters-in-law complain.
They complain to their husbands, and then of course my comrades-in-arms will find me. I smile and say nice things to people every day.
What do you want, Wang Cuiping?"
"You are useless?" Wang Cuiping snorted heavily. "If you were not a squad leader but a company commander or battalion commander, what would they dare to say? Just because you like to be bullied doesn't mean I am a soft persimmon. I tell you, go upstairs and get the quilt back, and let them pay me. Otherwise, I will complain to the military commander."
Squad leader Zhang squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, his voice full of pain and confusion, "Wang Cuiping, what do I owe you that you are torturing me like this?!"
"You owe me the mayor's wife!" Wang Cuiping said bitterly.
...
The upstairs and downstairs are not soundproofed, not to mention that squad leader Zhang didn't have time to close the door when he just entered.
The neighbors heard it clearly.
Lin Wanxia and the others also heard it clearly.
Lin Wanxia was a little curious, "What do you mean? Why do you say that Zhang owes her the mayor's wife?"
In fact, she was more curious about why Zhang would marry such a woman.
Jiang Si sighed, "You can't know a person
's heart by just looking at his face!" Zhang rarely went home because of his military service. When he occasionally went home on leave, the matchmaker would arrange blind dates for him from the day he just came home to the day before he came back from leave.
But at that time, Zhang's family conditions were not good. His father was paralyzed in bed and was taken care of by his eldest brother and sister-in-law. Life was very tight and he couldn't come up with any decent betrothal gifts.
Wang Cuiping had originally talked about a marriage and was engaged, but the man's family was suddenly implicated because of the class issue.
Wang Cuiping's family immediately regretted the engagement and refused to marry him.
However, a girl who is already engaged and finds it difficult to cancel the engagement because the other party has difficulty will have a bad reputation in the surrounding area, and it will be more difficult to marry.
When Wang Cuiping was washing clothes by the river, she slipped and fell into the river. She was pulled out by squad leader Zhang.
It was summer then, and people wore thin clothes. Wang Cuiping was a playful person, so she bought white clothes. Whoever got wet got exposed.
Squad leader Zhang gave Wang Cuiping his coat.
But it was summer then, and there were other people washing clothes by the river, as well as Squad Leader Zhang passing by. There were also people working in the fields nearby.
Everyone saw it.
Wang Cuiping had a bad reputation to begin with, and now no one wanted to get wet.
Wang Cuiping was like the snake that the farmer saved. Instead of being grateful to Squad Leader Zhang, she hated him.
But the Wang family would not allow Wang Cuiping to make trouble again, and asked a matchmaker to match the two people.
Wang Cuiping's reputation was so bad that she had no better choice.
Lin Wanxia was angry when she heard this, "What kind of talk is this? Did Captain Zhang save her and make a mistake?" It would be better to let her drown.
"When Captain Zhang saved her, he didn't know she would be such a person. Plus, her family was not well off. According to the saying in her hometown, Wang Cuiping's marriage to Captain Zhang was considered marrying down, so her family must provide for her?" Jiang Sinian shook his head, obviously not agreeing with this marriage. "
Captain Zhang is seven or eight years older than Wang Cuiping, and in their place, men tend to dote on their wives, so Wang Cuiping, who is already rude, became even more lawless.
And in Wang Cuiping's eyes, it's not that Captain Zhang dotes on her, but that he owes her, so he treats her like this."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
She had read a lot of period novels before, but she had never seen such a weird one.
"What about the mayor's wife?"
"The family that Wang Cuiping broke off her engagement with, they rushed to restore the situation and got her original position back not long after she got married to squad leader Zhang. She was even promoted last year, and I heard that she will be promoted to deputy mayor."
Lin Wanxia didn't know how to describe what she heard now. "So, what she meant was that if she didn't marry squad leader Zhang, she would have planned to marry someone else, and now she is the deputy mayor?"
Jiang Sinian nodded. "That should be the case."
Wang Cuiping often fought with squad leader Zhang, and everyone in the courtyard knew about it.
"How shameless is she? Hasn't she thought that even if she doesn't marry squad leader Zhang, the man won't want her?"
Jiang Sinian hesitated, and still said what he heard, "One of my teammates is squad leader Zhang's fellow villager. He said that the family of the future deputy mayor didn't like Wang Cuiping, but they had a good relationship with the older generation and got engaged.
In fact, that incident had nothing to do with their family. They just did it on purpose to get rid of Wang Cuiping. But they probably didn't expect Wang Cuiping to be so ruthless."
In fact, he was the future deputy mayor, and he married a new wife not long after Wang Cuiping broke off the engagement.
"It seems she was willing!" Lin Wanxia was speechless, "Is squad leader Zhang still so used to her? Can't divorce?"
Jiang Sinian looked at Lin Wanxia strangely, thinking that not everyone is as reverent about marriage as you are.
Most people get married for a lifetime.
It's normal to have quarrels from time to time.
Anyway, no one he knows, whether old or young, treats marriage as a joke like Lin Wanxia.
You can get married for real or fake, and you can get divorced at any time.
Of course, Jiang Sinian was embarrassed to say it directly, so he said tactfully: "Team Leader Zhang's family is not well off. Even though the Wang family didn't ask for much dowry, Team Leader Zhang still spent all the family savings. He even owed some foreign debts. Getting married and then getting divorced will not only hurt the reputation of both families, but also their money.
If they get divorced, Team Leader Zhang's family can't afford to marry a new daughter-in-law."
