Today, Zhao Donglin went to the town for a meeting. After the meeting, he went back to the village with several village Party secretaries. When he passed the supply and marketing agency, he saw a group of people gathered at the door to see the excitement. At the center of the crowd, there were two women who were pushing and shoving. To be more precise, one of them pushed and shooed the other one unilaterally.
Accompanying Zhao Donglin were several other village Party secretaries, including Xiang Kaiming of Xiaoling Village and also Dong Haotian of Dayu Village.
âHey, isnât that Lu Chengyuan and his two wives?â
Hearing the phrase âtwo wivesâ, Zhao Donglin turned to Xiang Kaiming, the Secretary of Xiaoling village branch. Xiang Kaiming explained with interest to Zhao Donglin, âYou just came back, so you donât know. That is Lu Chengyuan, the one in white was Lu Chengyuanâs previous wife. She is quite good. She was married for three years and wasnât able to get pregnant. Because of that, the Lu family drove her out of their house and gave her back to her motherâs family, saying that there are three ways to be unfilial; having no sons is the worst. The other one in blue is Lu Chengyuanâs current wire. Itâs said that sheâs a powerful one. The Lu familyâs top bosses fell into submission.â
It is reasonable to say that men should not talk about this gossip behind their backs, but this fact is too new. It has also made trouble in the street. In addition, Xiang Kaiming is only in his thirties and seventies. Naturally, he is not as calm as those old leading cadres.
Those people surrounding the three wanted to see the excitement. Before they could not understand the relationship between the three characters, now listening to what Xiang Kaiming said, they were instantly enlightened.
âNot bad. He found two wives. The Lu family is lucky.â
âIf I remember correctly, it seems that Lu Chengyuanâs father is still the leader of the production team.â
âYes, he is Lu Yougenâs son.â
âNo wonder they wanted to kick out the first wife. Lu Yougen, people from the ancestors are looking forward to the Lu familyâs roots.â
âSo itâs true, but Lu Chengyuanâs former wife looks better than this one now.â
âThe good-looking wife must be the first one. white and clean and gentle. Itâs just that the body looks weak, unlike the new one. She looked strong, is certainly a hit, three years to hold two.â
It must be a hit and two in three years.â
âHey, director Xiang, tell us quickly. How about this new wife? Is she pregnant?â
Xiang Kaiming did not put up any airs leadership. He turned his head and said with a smile, âI have not heard, if she was really pregnant, that Luâs wife must be banging gongs and drums to let the whole village know.â
The crowd laughed.
The Secretary of Dayu village branch is also surnamed, Dong. Although he is not related by blood to Dong Changguiâs family, he was in the same family five hundred years ago. He could not watch Dong Jiahui stand there and be pointed out. Dong Haotian frowned and walked forward to help her out.
âWhatâs the matter?â
âBrother Haotian.â
Dong Jiahui turned around and saw Dong Haotian as if she had seen her relatives. Since she accidentally bumped into Li Caifeng, the whole thing went in a strange direction. Her ex-husband, Lu Chengyuan appeared. Li Caifeng immediately pulled her like he robbed his man and refused to let her go. She said she was a fox and seduced men or something. After a while, she was surrounded by a group of people, but there is also a problem with Lu Chengyuanâs brain. He said: âitâs none of Jiahuiâs businessâ and âdonât hit her, sheâs weakâ. The more he said something, the more Li Caifeng would push her, and the more energetic she was. Dong Jiahui wanted to take a stick to knock on Lu Chengyuanâs head to see if his brain was filled with straw.
Dong Jiahui canât beat Li Caifeng, her throat was not as high as Li Caifengâs, and he canât be a rural shrew rolling all over the floor. In just a few minutes, Li Caifeng has portrayed Dong Jiahui as a fox who seduces men, or the one who catches adultery in bed.
Dong Haotian came to the meeting. When Li Caifeng didnât pay attention, Dong Jiahui quickly stood behind Dong Haotian and told Dong Haotian about the matter.
âItâs really a coincidence. I knew I would meet them today. I would never go on the street.
Dong Haotian nodded and signaled that he knew and he believed Dong Jiahuiâs character very much. When she left Luâs house, she sought death. It can be seen how much she loves her reputation and cares about the eyes of others. This kind of person will never quarrel with others in the street and make things difficult to prevent others from not knowing.
It was almost as if everyone had forgotten about it, so the whole thing will be talked about for a long time again.
In public opinion, it is the woman who suffers.
âLu Chengyuan, take your wife back. Stop making a noise in the street.â
Li Caifeng gasped, Lu Chengyuan squinted at Dong Jiahui, Dong Jiahui skimmed his face, Dong Haotian also frowned.
âMy familyâs business is not your business.â
âWhy is it your familyâs business? Jiahui is from our Dayu village and from our Dong family. Do you have reason to catch people, scold them and damaging othersâ reputations for no reason? Do you want me to take you to the Reform Committee for an explanation before you realize your mistake?â
Li Caifeng naturally did not want to go to the Revolutionary Committee to ask for an explanation, she stared at Dong Jiahui viciously and said with a sneer, âHumph, how do you know that I hit someone for no reason, she must have known that Lu Chengyuan was coming to town today before she came, otherwise how could she have met him so coincidentally!â
Dong Jiahuiâs eyes fell to the ground in surprise at Li Caifengâs words. She was simply amazed at Li Caifengâs logic.
She frowned and stood out from behind Dong Haotian and said in a loud voice, âPlease keep it clean, I donât know or care who you are, I went to the street to buy something and was bitten by a dog indiscriminately, I am now very worried about my personal safety.â
The group of people watching laughed at these words, and outside the crowd, Zhao Donglin, who had been waiting for Dong Haotian, also hooked up the corners of his mouth.
âWho are you calling a dog?â
âIâll scold whoever answers me.â
âYouâŚâ
Li Caifeng wanted to come forward again. Dong Haotian stepped forward and blocked her movement.
There was someone who was protecting her so, Dong Jiahui became brave. She continued to say, âI canât bear you until now. Donât bully people by relying on your strength. I really despise the man next to you. He was too submissive. I donât look like that type of man at all.â
Li Caifengâs face looked brilliant. She sneered and turned to look at Lu Chengyuan, and said sarcastically, âYou see, donât worry about it. She also said that you are not a man. Maybe she was now happy to finally leave you to find the next man, I advise you to sleep honestly in the future, do not dream and call âJiahuiâ Iâm not ashamed of you, Iâm ashamed of myself.â
Her words revealed too much information. You can understand the last two sentences were understood by Dong Jiahui. Li Caifeng means that Lu Chengyuan sleeps and dreams about himself at night. Is this the reason why Li Caifeng is angry with himself?
The onlookers also began to whisper when they heard these words.
âDid you hear that? Lu Chengyuan was dreaming at night and shouting his first wifeâs name?â
âTsk, since you like your first wife, why do you want a divorce.â
âDidnât you say that if you canât have children? The Lu family wanted Lu Chengyuan to have a baby in order to inherit the family.â
âItâs so noisy. If my man goes to bed at night and yells at other women, I will also be angry.â
âWhat does it have to do with his ex-wife when he called him? Itâs already pitiful that she drove out and got divorced.â
âEh, Lu Chengyuan has found a new wife. Why didnât his ex-wife find someone else?â
âWho wants a woman who canât have children, and which man doesnât marry a wife to have children.â
Listening to the crowdâs discussion, Zhao Donglin looked through the crowd. Dong Jiahui did look a little weak, at this time her face was red and white, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she looked a little dignified. Obviously, she didnât expect Li Caifeng to talk about these private things in public.
From her straight back, Zhao Donglin can see that she is actually soft on the outside and hard on the inside. Her standing posture is also full of defensive. She is a person who knows how to protect herself.
After Li Caifeng finished talking, she didnât care what kind of face Lu Chenguan had, and left after finding a gap in the crowd, while Lu Cheng Yuan, who didnât follow Li Cai Feng immediately, turned red and looked at Dong Jiahui to say something, but Dong Jiahui turned her head and ignored him.
The crowd dispersed after the two main characters left, Dong Jiahui was physically and mentally exhausted, she smiled at Dong Haotian who helped her and said lightly, âThank you brother Haotian, I let you see a joke.â
What a bad year, next time I have to read a calendar before going out.
Seeing Lu Chengyuan today, Dong Jiahui felt sorry for the original owner. Itâs not worth spending three years of youth on such a man.
Dong Haotian was considerate and afraid of Dong Jiahuiâs embarrassment. He didnât mention what just happened. Instead, he asked, âHave you finished your work? Iâll take you back when youâre done.â
The two can still be considered relatives, and he is more than ten years older than Dong Jiahui, so he is not afraid of gossip.
Dong Jiahui did not refuse, after such a drama, she wasted quite a long time, and she was also tired. She had to walk back to her home and she was afraid of the dark.
âI also have to buy a piece of plate oil on the way.â
âThatâs fine, the butcher store is right there, Iâll take you there.â
Dong Haotianâs car is parked a few meters away, and only Xiang Kaiming and Zhao Donglin were left in the village party secretary. After leaving, Xiang Kaiming stayed because he was with Dong Haotian and Luâs family belonged to Xiaoling Village. He, as the village secretary, wonât look good if he was to go first, as for why Zhao Donglin did not leave, and no one came to pursue the reason.
âThis is the village secretary of Xiaoling village, this is the village secretary of Shanghe village.â
Dong Jiahui smiled at both of them. She was surprised that both of them were quite young, especially Zhao Donglin, who looked only about thirty years old, with bright eyes, a tall and handsome figure, unlike a village secretary, he looked more like a soldier.
Zhao Donglai has just returned home from the army.
Dong Jiahui went to the butcherâs shop to buy a piece of suet and a few kilograms of big meat. This kind of meat doesnât need a meat ticket, you just have to give money.
These days, people are short of oil and water in their stomachs. They like to eat fat meat. The people in the butcherâs shop have picked almost the meat on it, and there is nothing to eat at all.
âYou donât have much meat to buy.â
âBone soup is rich in calcium. It is good for old people and children.â
When Dong Haotian heard her answer, he felt it was somewhat a little different. Not many people in rural areas know what âcalciumâ is.
âReally? You know a lot.â
âNo, just read some newspapers.â
âI remember you graduated from high school?â
âWell, I have a diploma.â
Dong Haotian smiled at that.
This Dongâs little sister was quite good, literate, speak with reasonable grounds and is very interesting. It is said that now she can earn her own rations by asking people to sew and mend clothes in her motherâs house for a month. Therefore, her brother and sister-in-law have had no opinions in the past few months when she returns to her motherâs house.
Alas, Dong Haotian couldnât understand why such a good woman was divorced and married Lu Chengyuan.
Dong Jiahui went home and told his family that he met Lu Chengyuan and Li Caifeng in the town.
âWhat does the Lu family mean? His soul still lingers. Do you really think Lu Chengyuan is submissive?â
Chen Guiâs face looked terrible and even Dong Changgui, who had always been good-tempered, made a straight face.
