"Then have you decided on the reasons for divorce?" Su Mo asked again.
Lu Xiaolan shook her head, "I haven't thought about it yet. I just have this idea. Since mother doesn't agree, then I don't think about it."
"Mom is right, don't see everything so clearly, and be a little confused, maybe you can live a better life." Lu Xiaolan said bitterly.
"It's just that in the future, the third brother and the third sister-in-law may have to suffer a little more and have to put up with their faces. If they ask for anything, you don't have to help. It's hard to satisfy your desires. If you help once, there will be another time."
"You don't have to worry about me. I've already figured it out and won't wrong myself. If they dare to do anything to me, I'm not someone to be trifled with."
Su Mo didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, it was her first time to experience marriage.
At this time, it is no different than in later generations, when couples can get divorced based on the breakdown of their relationship. Or they can just live apart for two years and sue at that time.
At this time, if there is no suitable reason, it is possible for the man to continue to disagree and delay you for ten or eight years. By then, things were even worse.
Although she suspected that Yang Jingming had azoospermia, the medical condition at this time could not be detected, and it seemed impossible to divorce on this ground.
According to the calculations of the Yang family, Xiaolan will not be easily divorced before finding a new backer. If you want a divorce, you may have to bleed a lot.
Therefore, we still have to wait until we find a reason to escape smoothly.
"Xiaolan, if you feel miserable staying at that house, come back to your parents' house more often. When your third brother comes back, I'll talk to him and see if he can do anything." That's all Su Mo could say.
"Thank you, Third Sister-in-law." Lu Xiaolan was grateful in her heart. Even when her mother didn't understand her, Third Sister-in-law was the only one left.
"Third sister-in-law, my current salary still has to pay 15 yuan to his family every month. I don't want to pay that much now, what do you think I should say?"
Su Mo was startled and almost forgot about this. They were separated, so they took care of the money themselves. Mother-in-laws like Lu Xiaolan had to pay.
"Wouldn't your previous dowry also be given to your mother-in-law?"
Su Mo remembered that when the family was separated, Lu Qingan had said that not only would he bring back the betrothal gift to Lu Xiaolan, but he would also give her a dowry of 100 yuan.
"That's not true. I'm keeping the money."
"I think that from now on, I can only pay 10 yuan a month, which will be enough for food. I work in a supply and marketing cooperative, and my mother-in-law asks me to bring some things from time to time, but she doesn't give me any money."
This put Su Mo in a difficult position. It seemed that this was the trend in this era, and those who earned money had to pay to the public school, unless their parents told them not to.
"Why don't you buy some milk powder or something to drink? You want to take care of your health. If you don't have enough money to spend, why don't you pay less?" Su Mo suggested.
Lu Xiaolan couldn't think of a good way for a while, so she said, "I'll give it a try."
Those who couldn't sleep were not only Lu Xiaolan but also Li Yuee.
Lu Qing'an saw her tossing and turning and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Yue'e thought for a while and said, "It's okay."
If this old guy knew that his daughter wanted a divorce, he would probably get angry too.
"It's okay, why are you running around?" You treat him like a fool. It doesn't look like he's okay.
"I told you it's okay." Li Yue'e roared.
Lu Qingan was startled and fell silent for a moment. He shouldn't have asked!
Lu Qingan turned around, out of sight and out of mind, and continued to sleep.
On the morning of the third day of the lunar new year, Lu Xiaolan went back to the commune to work after breakfast, while Su Mo stayed at home and started knitting a sweater for Geng Changqing.
At noon, Ma Xiaojuan came to visit and told Su Mo some things about educated youth.
For example, if Lin Xia goes home and has a successful blind date, she writes a letter and comes back, and when spring comes, she will come back to go back to the city.
For example, there was a male educated youth in the same batch as them, and the elder in his family turned out to be a high-ranking official.
Ma Xiaojuan sighed, "Educated Youth Point is really amazing."
*******
The three-day vacation passed quickly, and it was back to work again in a blink of an eye.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the young men from each brigade who signed up to build roads also started building roads.
People of this era are indeed very active in work. Early every morning, you can see young men carrying tools and going to work.
Su Mo records the growth data of vegetables every day and conducts her research.
On February 22, the first page of "People's Daily" published an important piece of news. The leaders of our country and the heads of Country M met.
Some keen people sense that the wind direction may be changing.
On February 28, "People's Daily" reported the news that the two countries signed a "Joint Communiqué" in Haishi, marking the beginning of the normalization of relations between the two countries.
The people who work in the news are all smart people, and they immediately smelled the difference, and the Haishi newspaper office even took notice of it. A week later, I began to serialize a translation of a novel from Country M in a remote place, just to test the waters first.
Su Mo also wrote a letter to the editor of Haishi Newspaper in March, saying that if translation was needed, she could help translate.
The editor did not disappoint her, and sent two medium-length articles for her to translate. It took Su Mo two days to translate and polish them well before sending them back. Half a month later, I received a translation of a novel and a remittance order of 30 yuan.
That novel was a very famous novel in later generations. Su Mo read it several times, so the translation was particularly smooth.
The editor first sent her about one-fifth of the content, and the original manuscript was about 200,000 words. Su Mo basically translated whenever he had time. In more than half a month, he finished translating the manuscript and sent it back.
By the time Su Mo finished translating the novel, it was already mid-April, the ground had begun to thaw, and spring plowing was about to begin.
Tractors were also issued to the brigade, and the tractor driver was the youngest son of brigade leader Lu Baoguo. The young man is only 18 years old, and he is very clever. After three months of training, he has become proficient in basic operations.
When Su Mo went to work, she found that he had already started plowing the fields with his tractor.
Spring plowing was about to begin, so the task of sending Su Mo to work was changed from Li Yue'e to Lu Boming.
After the canal was put into use last year, the brigade planted a lot of rice, and the yield was very good. The leader of the Institute of Agricultural Sciences also suggested that they grow more rice. After deliberation, the brigade cadres decided to continue to increase the rice planting area this year.
Growing rice is much more troublesome than growing wheat. After the ground is plowed, water must be soaked to soften it and then raked again.
Grain seeds must first be germinated and seedlings grown. After the seedlings are almost grown, they can then be transplanted into the fields. After working on rice transplanting for a whole day, I could hardly stand upright.
