Chapter 259: Han Mei and Liu Gui quarreled over returning to the city
"Wow--"
The sound of shattering glass shattered the morning tranquility. Wang Na wiped her face and walked out of the house. A thermos lay quietly in the yard, and Liu Gui's curses could be heard from inside the house.
"Han Mei, you are so vicious! I provide you with food and drink, and you actually want to divorce me and go back to the city by yourself? Do you have any shame..."
"I don't want to divorce you, so don't spit blood at me. Liu Gui, I think you want to dump me and go back to the city by yourself, and throw dirty water on me!"
"You don't want to divorce me, so how do you explain this letter?"
Liu Gui picked up the letter on the table and threw it hard at Han Mei's face. Han Mei's face changed suddenly when she saw the letter.
"Liu Gui, how could you peek at my letter?"
"What do you mean by peeking? I'm your husband, can't I read your letter? Han Mei, stop talking nonsense. Tell me what this letter means?
What do you mean your family has already found a good family for you and you can get married when you come back? Why didn't you tell your family about your marriage to me?
Han Mei bit her lip, her momentum diminished by three points, and she said awkwardly, "I told my family..."
"Have you told your family?" Liu Gui's voice rose a few notches, mockingly asking, "Your family knows you're married to me, yet they still dare to find someone else for you? What's the point?"
"You don't have to pay attention to them." Han Mei's face was very ugly. She explained in a low voice: "I just want to calm them down first and let them arrange for me to return to the city. Liu Gui, don't worry, I won't divorce you."
Liu Gui raised his hand, then looked up and saw the people gathered at the door to watch the excitement, and then he put it back. After turning around twice, he was still angry and kicked the bench away.
Han Mei gritted her teeth and closed the door. She pulled Liu Gui to sit on the kang and whispered, "Listen to my explanation. I've told you before what kind of people my parents are. They don't care whether I'm doing well or not..."
Liu Gui said angrily: "It is because they treated you badly that I was so angry when I saw this letter. Han Mei, are you okay?
They knew you were already married to me, yet they asked you to divorce and marry someone they picked. What's the point? They're trying to sell you off again!"
"Keep your voice down..." Han Mei tugged at Liu Gui's sleeve, her eyes fixed on the window as she whispered, "The people outside are waiting to see us make a fool of ourselves!"
Liu Gui shook off Han Mei's hand, gnashing his teeth and said viciously, "Han Mei, I'm telling you, if you want to listen to them and divorce me, you have to return the money I spent on you.
I spent so much money to marry you, and you just want a divorce? Damn, if you make me angry, your whole family will have a hard time! "
"Keep your voice down!" Han Mei stood up suddenly, suppressed her anger, and said in a deep voice: "I've already said, I won't divorce you. What I said in the letter was a lie to them.
If I hadn't lied to them, how could they possibly have helped me return to the city? I knew they wanted to use me as a gift to buy a bride for my younger brother.
Don't worry, Liu Gui. Since I've married you, I haven't thought about divorce. Anyway, they don't know whether we're divorced or not..."
"Just know it! MD, what kind of family... I'd be unlucky to marry you..."
Liu Gui opened the door, cursing. Seeing the educated youth gathered at the door, he cursed, "What are you looking at? Haven't you ever seen a couple fighting?"
Li Hongzao kicked the debris on the ground and taunted, "It's not uncommon for couples to quarrel, but this is the first time I've seen Liu Gui throw a thermos. A thermos costs six dollars and a half!"
Liu Gui was stunned for a moment, his heart almost bleeding! Six dollars and fifty cents, how much can he buy with that? It's all Han Mei's fault, that wasted woman...
Although he felt bad, he couldn't lose face in front of so many people. Liu Gui stiffened his neck and said, "What's wrong with six dollars and fifty cents? It's just a thermos. If you break it, I'll buy you a new one."
Han Mei's face turned pale as she ran out in a hurry. Seeing the thermos broken into pieces on the ground, a trace of reluctance flashed in her eyes.
Li Hongzao rolled his eyes and snorted twice.
Zhao Yanhong pulled Li Hongzao through the crowd and walked out, muttering, "Hurry up and get to work! If you're late, the captain will start nagging you again."
Chen Daming looked at the sparse crowd on the threshing floor and cursed with a sullen face, "These people are really going too far! Even if we have to go back to the city, we have to work hard in these last few days!"
Chen Shuning picked up the towel around his neck and wiped the sweat off his face.
Two small black dots appeared in the distance. Chen Shuning looked over and said with a smile, "Captain, look over there. They should be the educated youth coming over."
Ma Lanzhi ran out of breath and rushed into the threshing ground. Seeing Chen Daming with a gloomy face, she said awkwardly, "Captain, we are here..."
"Hmph..." Chen Daming snorted coldly and said, "You still remember to come?"
Wang Na took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Captain, something happened at the educated youth point this morning, so we left home late. Sorry, we'll get back to work right away."
The tractor drove into the threshing floor, and the roller rolled over the wheat ears, making a rustling sound.
Chen Daming raised his hand and shouted, "Shuning, hurry up and register. The educated youth are late today, so let them stack the straw!"
In such hot weather, following behind a tractor with a fork to collect wheat straw and then pile it up was not an easy job. But the educated youth had no choice. The higher-ranking officials had the final say, so until they returned to the city, they could only obey Chen Daming's arrangements.
Chen Shuning found a shady spot, took out the notebook from his messenger bag, and wrote down the names of Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi.
"Lanzhi, start over there and stay away from the tractor."
Chen Daming looked in the direction of Chen Shuning's finger, his expression slightly grim. He wanted to punish these educated youth, but Chen Shuning was...
Chen Shuning secretly pulled Wang Na and motioned her to wait a moment.
"Captain, it's unsafe to get too close to the tractor." Chen Shuning explained with a smile, "We have to consider safety issues. If something really goes wrong, no one can bear the responsibility."
Chen Daming kept a straight face and said nothing. He looked up and saw Liu Gui and Han Mei running over. He pointed and said, "You two, follow the tractor and collect the straw."
Liu Gui paused and glared at Han Mei fiercely.
Han Mei ignored Liu Gui and took the initiative to pick up the fork and followed the tractor to pick up the straw. The roar of the tractor was in her ears, and the billowing black smoke blew in with the wind, making her cough.
Chen Shuning glanced sideways and asked quietly, "Wang Na, why are you all late today? The captain has a sullen face and has been scolding for a long time."
"Don't mention it." Wang Na explained in a low voice: "Han Mei and Liu Gui had a fight. From what I heard, it seems that Han Mei's family asked her to divorce."
"Divorce?" Chen Shuning packed up his notebook, picked up his fork, and walked into the threshing ground with Wang Na and Ma Lanzhi.
Chen Shuning asked curiously, "Why do you want to get a divorce?"
Ma Lanzhi stood on tiptoe and took a look. Seeing that Han Mei and Liu Gui had walked away, she said, "Han Mei's family has found her a husband in the city.
Only after she got divorced did her family agree to process the paperwork for her to return to the city. When Liu Gui found out about this, he threw a thermos this morning and got really angry.
Wang Na agreed, "Liu Gui spent six dollars and a half on that thermos. He was so reluctant to throw it away. He broke it completely and the thermos cover is all rotten."
Chen Shuning sighed and said, "It's all because of the issue of returning to the city."
"Oh, everyone wants to go back to the city." Ma Lanzhi sighed, "But it's not easy to go back to the city! Han Mei's family favors boys over girls, and all the money she has has been drained by her parents.
Now that there's this whole situation, they won't let her go back to the city unless she gets a divorce. I think her parents just want to get her back and make some extra money."
