Two years ago, Zhang Qinsheng rented a shop in the west district of Licheng County with the money saved by his family.

The West District is a place where the three religions and nine streams of the county are concentrated. Almost no one in the county lives here. Most of the people who live here are people from the villages below to make a living, and they are not very rich.Zhang Qinsheng's shop usually sells groceries.He has only one store, the location is not good, the flow of people is not good, and the goods inside are also common. He can earn 20 taels a month, excluding the rent and daily needs. A local hooligan can drop ten taels of silver a month, which is not too much.

Recently, the facade was about to expire. Zhang Qinsheng approached the landlord to discuss rent renewal, but the landlord wanted to increase the rent, and the rent would be increased by ten taels of silver in half a year.Zhang Qinsheng has always felt that the landlord is not kind, he is a poor place, who else wants to rent this poor frontage besides him.But he is also very helpless. He has opened a grocery store for two years, and the money he has saved is less than 150 taels. This money can easily be found in the western district, but in several other districts of the county, there is still a lot of money. And he doesn't want to deal with those endless land hooligans anymore.He had always thought that he would stay in the West District for another year, and when he had saved enough money, he would move the shop to the South District. The people living there were from wealthy families, and his shop would definitely have good business by then.

Since he opened this shop, he has been used to going home every half a month. Before going back this time, he went to the owner of the house, hoping that he would lower his attitude a bit. The attitude of the other party has always been ambiguous. What Zhang Qinsheng was thinking at the time was , If it really doesn't work, just eat this loss, pay the ten taels of rent, sell the family's autumn harvest this time, wait for another half a year, and still have enough money to move to the East District.

But he didn't expect that the shop would be sold by the owner after he just went home.The new owner came to inform him that he would move out when the lease expired, and there was no room for negotiation.

Zhang Qinsheng was still thinking about Gu Fangqiu's affairs, but suddenly everything was gone, and he was very annoyed by the old landlord's actions, so he had to go to the East District to inquire about suitable shops. The East District is not like the West District. All the shops on the side are rented at least one year.Even a shop with the lowest rent costs more than 200 taels a year.

Zhang Qinsheng came back disappointed from the Eastern District, he could only think about resting in the county town for one night, and going back tomorrow to discuss with his family and see where he could borrow some money.

It's just that when he returned to his own shop, he saw a group of people surrounded by the usually empty shop door. When they saw him, they gathered together and smiled strangely while looking at him.

Zhang Qinsheng ran outside for a whole day today, and was extremely tired. Seeing this situation, he knew something had happened, and the expression on his face became more and more cold. He ignored these people and entered the shop.

As soon as the boy in the store saw him coming back, he hurried over and closed the door of the store to block the prying eyes, and looked at Zhang Qinsheng hesitantly.

"Speak up if you have something to say!" Zhang Qinsheng was unhappy, and his face was not much better when facing the servant who was begging for food under him.

The young servant pursed his lips, and then said bluntly: "Half an hour ago, two ladies came outside the door, saying that the newly married wife of the master is his father's outer room, and because she is pregnant with evil seeds, she is afraid of being killed by the mistress." She was arrested and had an abortion, so he hooked Mr. Lang into marrying her to save his life, and wanted to use the child to enter the house after the child was born."

Zhang Qinsheng said angrily, "Nonsense!"

The servant came: "That lady spoke loudly, which alarmed the neighbors. Before the master came back, many people had dispersed outside the door." The servant looked at Zhang Qinsheng's face, "Those two ladies don't look like you. Ordinary people, they even described their wife's appearance."

The boy said that the other party was not aimless, Zhang Qinsheng was furious, and he scolded: "Shut up! This is a rumor, someone hurt me!"

The servant curled his lips secretly. Before Zhang Qinsheng married Lu Xiaoman, that woman often came to the shop. At that time, the ex-wife was still in Zhang's house. It's not that Lu Xiaoman didn't know that Zhang Qinsheng had a family. However, the two of them have to stay in the back room for a long time every time, and they don't know what to do.

At night Zhang Qinsheng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep, thinking about the scene when he saw Gu Fangqiu that day, thinking about the shop for a while, but mostly thinking about Lu Xiaoman.

Zhang Qinsheng met Lu Xiaoman on his way back to the city. At that time, she sprained her ankle. Zhang Qinsheng rented a donkey cart and took her along.At that time, I learned that Lu Xiaoman was doing laundry for people in the county. He lived in the suburbs of the county. There was only one old woman in the family. There were two older brothers in the family, but the two older brothers and the old father had accidents one after another. Lu Xiaoman was so delayed because of his filial piety. up.

Zhang Qinsheng, a man in his prime, always stays alone in the county town, without a woman who knows the cold and the hot around him. Lu Xiaoman's appearance perfectly fills the emptiness of Gu Fangqiu's absence. Fangqiu is also gentle and gentle, but she is very bold in love affairs, which gave Zhang Qinsheng a very fresh experience.

But at that time, although the two had done a lot of embarrassing things, they hadn't had zero-distance contact. Lu Xiaoman always said that although she liked Zhang Qinsheng, she didn't want to be a profligate woman. She knew that Zhang Qinsheng had a wife at home. She cried several times and said that as long as she could stay by Zhang Qinsheng's side in this life, she would be content.

Therefore, even though he and Lu Xiaoman have been unable to achieve good things, Zhang Qinsheng feels guilty towards Lu Xiaoman, and is usually willing to spend money on her.It continued like this until the first half of the year, and after being unable to help himself again, Lu Xiaoman finally became his man.

After that, Zhang Qinsheng tasted it a few times intermittently. One time, Lu Xiaoman lay under Zhang Qinsheng and asked Zhang Qinsheng to marry her.Zhang Qinsheng was also very disappointed with Gu Fangqiu's disappointing stomach. Two years ago, his parents persuaded him to divorce Gu Fangqiu and marry another, but he was thinking about Gu's in-laws in Shangjing, so he hesitated and refused.At that time, he promised to marry Lu Xiaoman, but he only said that he would take her as his concubine first.

Lu Xiaoman agreed aggrievedly, and Zhang Qinsheng loved her very much at that time.

Later, Zhang Qinsheng found a time and notified his parents, including Gu Fangqiu.He looked at Gu Fangqiu's heartbroken appearance, although he also felt a little pity, but he couldn't just be childless just because he cared about her emotions, who knew when she would be able to conceive a child.

When Zhang Qinsheng was busy welcoming the newcomers, Lu Xiaoman told him shyly that she had his child in her belly.

The child, not only his parents, but also him, has been looking forward to it for several years.Zhang Qinsheng was very excited at that time, but Lu Xiaoman immediately said that it was fine for her to be alone in the past, but now that she is pregnant with a child, do she have to make way for her child and the woman in the family who has not been pregnant for six years?

Zhang Qinsheng understood that Lu Xiaoman wanted him to divorce Gu Fangqiu and become the main room as soon as he entered the door.

Zhang Qinsheng hesitated, so he made a special trip to Wangjia Village, took a look at Gu's family, saw the increasingly dilapidated thatched cottage and the skinny father-in-law, Zhang Qinsheng agreed to Lu Xiaoman's request.

It was unavoidable for Gu Fangqiu to cry and make a scene, so Lu Xiaoman took the initiative to go back with Zhang Qinsheng, saying that he hoped that Gu Fangqiu would make her feel guilty because the child's father was Zhang Qinsheng, and it was easy to persuade.

Later at home, when Gu Fangqiu heard that Lu Xiaoman was pregnant with Zhang Qinsheng's child, she really looked miserable but couldn't say anything.What to say, a woman is the original sin, and a woman who cannot bear children is an added sin.

One of the seven outs is "childless", but the condition is that "the wife is over [-] years old and has no children", otherwise it is not easy to divorce.At that time, although Gu Fangqiu was weak, she was not stupid. It was her fault that she couldn't have a child, but why should she bear the stigma of being divorced and only agreed to divorce.

Being divorced cannot take away the dowry, but reconciliation is possible.Therefore, how could Mrs. Zhang and Liu agree, there is absolutely no reason for her to spit out what she ate.

The two parties started arguing like this. In a panic, Gu Fangqiu was pushed by Zhang Huilan and fell heavily to the ground.Her menstruation has always been inaccurate, so she didn't know that she was pregnant. This fall, the child she had been looking forward to for several years disappeared, and was diagnosed by the doctor as being unable to have children in this life. Son" has been implemented.

After that, Gu Fangqiu was divorced and Lu Xiaoman came in. Everything seemed perfect.

But this perfection was affected by seeing Gu Fangqiu a few days ago, and even cast a shadow by today's rumors.

Zhang Qinsheng scolded those two women who spread rumors in his heart, and believed that someone was behind him to punish him. The owner of this shop sold it without saying a word, which may be because of those people's intentions.He thought of the support behind Gu Fangqiu, who was said to be the young master of the Jiang family who came back from Shangjing.

When Zhang Qinsheng just divorced Gu Fangqiu, he still felt a little guilty towards her. Sometimes he had the idea of ​​going to see her, but he only went back to the village once in half a month, and he was busy with Lu Xiaoman taking care of his son. Before he had time, he would like to ask Jiang Lian from the same village to help, but every time Jiang Lian saw their family members, he didn't look good, so he didn't have any interest in looking at the cold faces. He also missed the great transformation of the Gu family before, and only reacted when he went home this time and heard the little sister and his new wife talk about it.

I have to say that I am very regretful, once again lamenting that my luck is bad, even if the other party came back earlier, or he didn't give up Gu Fangqiu at that time, with the promotion of Young Master Jiang, why would he need to worry about these 200 taels now? The rent, and now because of Gu's family, he has offended the other party.

Zhang Qinsheng thought about it all night, but couldn't keep his eyes open, so he fell asleep in a daze. Early the next morning, he rented a donkey cart and went back to the village.

As soon as the donkey cart arrived at the gate of his house, he saw two carriages parked next to his gate, and many people gathered at the gate. When everyone saw him, they pointed at him and smiled strangely.

How similar to the scene when he returned to the shop yesterday.

Zhang Qinsheng realized that something bad had happened again, and was feeling uneasy when he heard a mournful cry from the crowd: "This is the son of the master, if you dare to hurt him, the master will definitely divorce you !"

Zhang Qinsheng's expression changed suddenly, he pushed aside the crowd, and saw Lu Xiaoman protecting his stomach, confronting a gorgeously dressed middle-aged woman on the opposite side.
