After the two parties reached an agreement, Li Yue'e said: "I will take Xiaolan's things back first and see you at the commune tomorrow morning."
Fang Chunfang sneered, "Jingming, go help clean up."
Yang Jingming sat motionless, with tears in his eyes. Why was he suddenly about to get divorced? It's not like the family issues can't be solved, so why are they forcing him so?
"I don't want a divorce." Yang Jingming said.
"We have raised you so much, and you want to see your father die?" Fang Chunfang asked bitterly.
This slender head, can't he see that his wife's heart is no longer there? But seeing her son like this, she couldn't find it easy to criticize him for the moment, so she could only tell him slowly in the future. It was more important to rescue Lao Yang first.
Yang Jingming lowered his head and said nothing. Seeing his appearance, Fang Chunfang got up and went to pack things with Li Yuee.
Lu Xiaolan took away all the valuable things when she went back, leaving only clothes and shoes. Li Yue'e took a big bag and packed up the rest.
Fang Chunfang watched with cold eyes and saw that Li Yue'e didn't take anything he shouldn't have, so she snorted and left.
The next day, Lu Changzheng and Li Yuee accompanied Lu Xiaolan to the commune office to file for divorce with Yang Jingming.
Yang Jingming looked like he was mourning for his heir, and looked at Lu Xiaolan hesitantly, but with Fang Chunfang watching, he finally signed.
That’s it! He should rescue his father first, and then remarry Xiaolan later. As long as they have each other in their hearts, no matter how big the obstacle is, it won't be a problem.
Lu Xiaolan didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She was really relieved when she got the stamped divorce certificate.
Divorce certificate from the 1970s
Finally left! From now on, I will live well by myself, respect my parents and father more, and remember my third brother and sister-in-law.
When leaving, Fang Chunfang said coldly: "Remember what you said yesterday."
Lu Changzheng nodded, "He will be back tomorrow."
*******
During the busy autumn harvest, the Lujiacun brigade had something to talk about after dinner, that is, the party secretary's daughter got divorced and returned to her parents' home. From time to time, there were aunts spreading gossip on the edges and corners of the fields.
"Tell me, why did the party secretary agree to give up? His son-in-law has such good conditions. He is tall and handsome. He is also a cadre of the commune. He is also very kind. He even said hello to me last time he saw me."
"It's just that the son-in-law who was so hard to find at such a low price was actually divorced. If she were my daughter, I would have to kidnap her back."
"It's really embarrassing. There has never been a divorce in our team. If my daughter dares to come home, I will break her legs."
"Do you think there is something wrong with Lu Xiaolan and she was divorced by her husband?" Someone whispered.
"Look, her third brother got married later than she did. Now he has two children, and Lu Xiaolan's belly hasn't moved yet."
After a few people heard it, it was really possible. Who would want this hen that doesn’t lay eggs?
"Don't talk nonsense. It was the old party secretary who gave in. The man's father committed a crime. You also know that the old party secretary has a lot of trouble in his eyes." An aunt who had a good relationship with Li Yue'e said quickly.
Li Yue'e also took great pains to protect her daughter's reputation. On the same day, she found a few aunts with whom she had good relations to cry out and asked them to help explain when gossip spread in the brigade.
"Committed a crime? What did you commit?"
"The man's father worked at a grain station. He was caught for allegedly adding sand to the grain. Isn't this harmful? Everyone is not full, so you still add sand to the grain. The old party secretary knew that his in-laws were such a thing, so he immediately asked him Lu Xiaolan’s choice is either divorce or sever the relationship.”
"Lu Xiaolan is a filial person, so she can only get a divorce."
"Why do you add sand to the grain?" Some people didn't respond.
"You stupid old bitch, everyone buys grain by the pound. If there is sand mixed in, doesn't the extra grain belong to him?"
"Oh, isn't this just trying to plunder socialism and commit corruption? It's really hard to get along with such a family."
All the aunts agreed.
I don’t know what everyone is thinking in their hearts, but on the surface, they still hate this kind of corruption and theft.
"The old party secretary is right to do this. It's just that Lu Xiaolan is pitiful. A good daughter has become a second-married woman. From now on, I'm afraid she will have to marry a widower."
"No, so when you get married, you really have to be careful, otherwise you will really harm your daughter for the rest of her life. This Li Yuee is very smart, why didn't she notice it in the first place?"
"Lu Xiaolan was the one who talked about this at the beginning. Besides, there is no way that people's corruption can be spread everywhere. We ordinary people can't see it."
"Then Lu Xiaolan has been married for such a long time, you should know it, right? Why is it that something happened now, so you are getting divorced?" Some people thought about Xiao Jiujiu, the old party secretary... doesn't seem to be that honest.
"There is someone above me, and they have been hiding it well. Lu Xiaolan's father-in-law was arrested, and she only found out what happened when she returned to her parents' house to ask for help. Lu Changzheng felt sorry for his sister, and he went to the county to find out."
"The old party secretary is an old revolutionary, and Lu Changzheng is a senior military officer. How can we get married to such a person? We can only divorce Lu Xiaolan."
"It is said that someone is covering him up there. He will be released in two days."
"Then if this person is released, why should we get divorced?" Isn't this going to harm my daughter for the rest of her life?
"You don't understand this. Such a person will have to be reckoned with sooner or later. If you don't leave now while you can still escape, will you wait until the whole family is dragged into the water before you leave?"
"If it were me, I would let my daughter-in-law separate the family and live alone." The old party secretary still didn't know how to adapt.
"We only have one son, how can we separate the family?"
"That's better than divorcing my daughter. How can she get married in the future? Which good family would marry a second marriage?"
…
Li Cuihua was working and listening to everyone's discussions, and she felt so happy.
I thought I would have to be suppressed by Li Yue'e for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that everything would turn around and this would happen.
Although her two daughters were not as well married as Lu Xiaolan, they at least lived a stable life and had children.
Unlike Li Yue'e, she was just a daughter. She had been in terrible pain since she was a child. Now she's better. Even though she's divorced, she's still a hen that can't lay eggs.
I'm afraid I won't be able to find a good family in the future!
It's hard to say that she will have to live in her parents' hands and be an old aunt for the rest of her life.
"Don't talk about people like that. Xiaolan is handsome and has a job. Her monthly salary is more than 20. How many people in our team can be like her?"
"Besides, my father is the branch secretary, my brothers all have jobs, and Lu Laosan is still a high-ranking military officer. How can I not get married?"
"I'm afraid a lot of people are thinking about this opportunity to marry an officer."
Seeing that Li Cuihua actually said good things to Lu Xiaolan, everyone was very surprised, "Li Cuihua, you actually changed your gender?"
When Lu Xiaolan was a daughter, she often helped Li Yue'e fight against Li Cuihua.
"What I'm telling you is the truth. You country wives are short-sighted. If you live in the city and have such conditions, I'm afraid someone will come to propose marriage the next day."
Li Cuihua's words made many aunts think about it.
yes! Although Lu Xiaolan is married for the second time, she can't stop her mother's family from doing well. If she marries the incompetent person from her own family, her mother's family may still try to pull her out.
Li Cuihua watched, secretly laughing in her heart.
It would be best if more people come to propose marriage.
This cracked egg will only end up being thrown away if it is bitten by a swarm of flies.
