Lucky husband

On the way back to Shanghe Village, Old Madam Li leisurely shook her feet a few times, feeling quite good.

After a while, she looked at the box on the bullock cart, and frowned: "Second brother, didn't I tell you that you can't put too many valuables in a locked box, why didn't you listen to your mother?"

Speaking of this old lady Li was a little angry, if it wasn't for brother Jin, all these things of the second child would have been taken away by Qian Xinghua, a poor woman.

Li Chengli smiled naively twice: "Mother, no."

Old Madam Li said angrily: "Nothing, Mother is talking to you about something serious, you have made it clear, don't be so hippie."

"Mother, there are no such things in the box." Li Chengli scratched his neck in embarrassment, he didn't know how he said those words just now.

Mrs. Li didn't understand, so she said, "No, what kind of things are there?"

"Well...the box is actually salt." Li Chengli stopped the ox cart, turned around and opened the box with the key.

Old Madam Li poked her head over, and really only saw a large bag of white salt in the box, her eyes widened.

To be honest, Granny Li was very surprised when she heard her second son say so stubbornly that she wanted to send Qian Xinghua to the county government. She really never thought that her second son would be able to bluff people without changing his face After passing everyone, let everyone think that there are really those things he said in the box.

"After you told me that day, mother, I changed the contents of the box, put the salt in the box, and hid the box under the bed." Li Chengli looked at his mother's surprised eyes, ears flushed.

"Second, you can do it!" Mrs. Li laughed twice, feeling very relieved and happy. This stupid son of his family is finally not stupid, and honest people are very good at tricking people.

Li Chengli was even more embarrassed. He always felt that what he did today was very strange. After telling Granny Li what he thought, Granny Li patted his arm: "Mr. Qian will take the wooden box, it is because of her You know that there are valuable things in the wooden box, so your actions are not wrong, if you meet Qian Shi again in the future, you must not soften your heart and deal with her like today."

After learning the truth of the matter, Mrs. Li taught Li Chengli a lot of things along the way.

What Qian Xinghua did, apart from increasing everyone's conversations after dinner, did not cause much impact in the two villages, and the end of the month came within two days.

This time, Li Chengshi can go home and rest for a day. The county government is too busy. It has been nearly a month since the children were tied up. The county government works.

Because the county government was too busy, it was already late when Li Chengshi came home that afternoon. Everyone in Li's family had already had dinner. After seeing him coming back, Jiang Zhiyun quickly cooked a big bowl of noodles for him.

Granny Li looked at her son who seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and she felt distressed: "Third son, how many days will you go home to rest this time? When will you leave? Tomorrow, mother will buy a large piece of meat and come back to make you your favorite peanuts." Roast meat."

"I have to leave after eating tomorrow afternoon, and I have to be busy the day after tomorrow." Li Chengshi ate a large bowl of noodles and drank up all the noodle soup.

"Why only one day?" Mrs. Li asked quite dissatisfied.

Li Chengzhi came over and said, "Third brother and the others are really busy recently. We sell rice noodles at the gate of the city, and every day we can see their county government officials leaving the city early in the morning. "

Busy in and out every day, the guards and Zhao Chengze really cleared up a lot of old cases, and also rearranged all the population and household registration. Now it is faster and more convenient to go through the county's information. .

Old Madam Li didn't know what the county government was going to do. She heard the eldest son say that the third child and the others were busy with business, so she didn't say anything else. The work arranged by the county magistrate must be completed first.

After Li Chengshi finished eating the noodles, the old lady Li talked about her second son: "Third son, your second brother has finally decided to divorce that hapless wife Qian, and is waiting for you to come back and write a divorce letter for him. You get ready."

"Second brother is going to divorce his second sister-in-law?" Li Chengshi asked in surprise, how could he not know what kind of temperament his second brother was, and what kind of temperament was his second sister-in-law?

The old lady Li told what happened during this period of time in a few simple words, the corners of Li Chengshi's mouth twitched, the second sister-in-law was too much, no wonder such an honest person like the second brother made the decision to divorce his wife!

"Okay, I got it. Let's call the second brother over now. I'll write the divorce letter right away. He can take it to Qiantan Village tomorrow morning, and then let Mrs. Qian give his fingerprints." Since she is no longer the second sister-in-law in the future, Li Chengshi's name for Qian Xinghua is naturally changed to Qian's.

Old Madam Li didn't delay, and immediately went to find someone. When Li Chengli came over, Li Chengshi had already laid out the pen and paper and was grinding them.

There is a child in the Li family who is studying in the school, and another child who is an apprentice in the bookstore. Pens, inks, papers and inkstones are all regular items, and there is no shortage.

"Second brother, it's still early, you sit down and drink some water to rest." Li Chengshi called Li Chengli politely when he saw Li Chengli.

The second room of the Li family is now Li Chengli cooking at home, no one else is helping him, so they eat late, and at this moment Li Chengli has just finished eating and packed up.

"Third brother." Li Chengli was a little embarrassed, it was not a good thing for him to divorce his wife, and it was a bit embarrassing for the third brother to write for him.

Li Chengshi and Li Chengli first talked about the work in the field without opening their mouths about writing the divorce letter, because Li Chengshi usually went to work in the field when he returned home, so he didn't feel any disobedience when he talked about the work in the field, and Li Chengli gradually fell in love with it. There is no nervous feeling anymore.

When the two brothers talked about the same, the old lady Li walked in watching the time, and said: "Okay, okay, I will talk about it later if you two brothers have anything to say, and write this divorce letter tonight, so as not to waste time." Waste my oil lamp, old woman."

"Okay, okay, we'll start right away." Li Chengli quickly nodded and agreed.

Li Chengli first outlined his thoughts, and he said it more tactfully, but also very straightforwardly. Mrs. Li frowned immediately after hearing this, and added a lot of messy things Qian Xinghua did, and asked Li Chengshi to write it down.

When writing this for the first time, Li Chengshi first used a piece of paper to write down all the points his second brother and his mother said, and only after confirming that they had said the same thing did he start to write the first draft.

Although Li Chengshi didn't read many books, he read official documents all the year round, and what he wrote when he wrote this divorce letter was not bad. Mrs. Li was quite satisfied, so she decided to write it like this.

Li Chengshi nodded, and copied two copies of the revised manuscript. When the time comes, both the Li family and the Qian family will be fine.

It took nearly an hour to finish writing the letter of divorce. It was quite late. Li Chengshi returned to the left room. The oil lamp in the main room was still on. Jiang Zhiyun was sitting on the table drawing patterns with charcoal. Under the gentle light of the oil lamp, he looked quiet and beautiful, which made him suddenly lose the feeling of physical and mental fatigue he had before.

Jiang Zhiyun heard Li Chengshi's opening the door, and raised her head happily: "Sir, are you done?"

"Yes." Li Chengshi went in and sat down.

Putting down the charcoal pencil, Jiang Zhiyun stood up and poured him a glass of water, let him drink, and then went to fetch water for him to wash his face and feet.

Li Chengshi grabbed her who was passing by, sat down with his arms around her, and buried his head in her neck.

Jiang Zhiyun's face turned red, she stretched out her hand and lightly tapped Li Chengshi's shoulder: "We're still in the main room, it would be bad if Brother Jin came out and saw it."

"Brother Jin has already fallen asleep. When he falls asleep, he is almost like a little piggy. He can't be woken up by thunder." Li Chengshi joked.

"How can you describe your brother as a little piggy? You can really do it." Jiang Zhiyun smiled. She also knew that Li Chengshi was tired recently, so she didn't struggle to get up. Li Chengshi's leg, then reached out and massaged around his temple to soothe him.

"Yunniang, what's the matter with the second brother and the Qian family? Just now, my mother said something. It's not convenient for me to ask more questions when I helped the second brother write the divorce letter. I only know what they asked me to write down." Li Chengshi was taken by his wife. After massaging for a while, I felt much more comfortable and asked curiously.

Jiang Zhiyun thought for a while, then began to talk softly about how Li Chengli made up his mind to divorce his wife: "Well, it still has something to do with Xia girl..."

"Brother Jin dreamed that Mrs. Qian went to the second brother's house to steal something?" Li Chengli almost suspected that his ears had misheard Mrs. Qian's brain, but she could do such a thing.

"I look at my second sister-in-law on weekdays, no, it's Qian who loves Mingcai very much. In fact, I don't think she loves Mingcai that much." Jiang Zhiyun can only say a few more words from her heart to her husband, "If Qian, she I really feel sorry for Mingcai, why would he want to steal all the belongings of the second brother, let's not talk about the impact on Miss Chun and Girl Xia, just say that without a house, without a field, without money, Mingcai What to do with the food we eat in the future, let alone go to school to read and write."

Jiang Zhiyun also couldn't figure out what Qian Shi was thinking. When she heard her mother come back and tell her what was in the box, she was shocked.

"She only has herself in her heart. She treats Ming well because Ming is the son. She thinks that after giving birth to a son, she can gain a firm foothold in her husband's family. If Ming is successful in the future, she will be able to benefit from the glory." Li Chengshi sighed Tone, the second brother is actually pretty good, he has been delayed by Qian's all these years.

Li Chengshi still remembered that when the brothers were not married, although the second brother was taciturn, at least he had vitality and hope in his heart. After Qian's marriage came in, his second brother became more and more lifeless.

Fortunately, during the drought, Qian was sent away for a while, and he finally saw a little bit of the old second brother, but so many years have passed, and the second brother will never return to the past.

The husband and wife expressed their feelings about the changes in the second room, and Li Chengshi heard Jiang Zhiyun talk about the interesting stories about the two children during this period, imagining the jokes made by his son learning to speak, Li Chengshi put the matter of the second brother's family behind him, Without Qian's in the future, the second brother will definitely make life better.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Chengshi, who had been so excited all night and only slept for a while, woke up at dawn, pretending that he couldn't fall asleep again.

He placed the divorce papers in duplicate by his bedside, and he carefully looked at the densely packed words on it through the dim light coming in from the window, as if he wanted to print each of these words in his heart. In fact, He only knew the names of himself and Qian Xinghua.

Last night, Li Chengshi read the divorce letter several times after finishing it, and gave it to him after confirming that Li Chengli probably remembered it, so Li Chengli was thinking about the contents of the divorce letter while recalling these years. The details of getting along with Qian Xinghua.

It is the most simple and sincere hope of every rural man to have a wife and children on the kang. When he first married Qian Xinghua, Li Chengli was full of energy. Every day when he went to the fields with his father, he always wanted to work more and let his wife follow him. Don't be wronged.

Then when did he start to become more and more numb, and he didn't care if life was good or bad?If it wasn't for his daughter's accident, if his elder brother didn't wake him up, he might have to live like this.

The sky outside is getting brighter and brighter, Li Chengli let out a breath of foul air slowly, all this is finally coming to an end, from now on he will take a few children to live a good life, save the dowry for Miss Chun and Girl Xia, and see if he can't study, Send him to study if he can read, and let him learn a craft or learn to farm with him if he can't study. You don't want to be rich and rich, but you just want to be fed, clothed, comfortable and safe.

Wiping the corners of his eyes, Li Chengli got up from the bed, washed his face, solemnly put on these two thin papers and went out the door.

At this time, Qian Xinghua still had no idea that the divorce letter was about to be delivered to her. When Li Chengli was going out, her sprained ankle suddenly felt a sharp pain, which woke her up from her sleep.

Seeing that it was already very bright outside, Qian Xinghua frowned after counting the time: "What's the matter, my heart is beating wildly and flustered, maybe something is going to happen."

After rubbing her ankle indiscriminately and feeling that the pain was gone, Qian Xinghua fell down and continued to sleep. Even though she heard her mother, sister-in-law, and younger siblings getting up in the yard, she had no intention of getting up to help.

After half an hour, Li Chengli came outside Qian's house. He walked here by himself this time, and he walked in a hurry. He was sweating all over early in the morning, but he wrapped the divorce paper with oiled paper, so the two pages It is important that the paper does not get wet.

Standing at the door to calm down his shortness of breath, Li Chengli knocked on the door of Qian's courtyard: "Aunt Qian, I'm Li Chengli, is anyone at home?"

The old man Qian married to Mrs. Qian was the third in their house. Mrs. Qian was two years younger than Mrs. Li, so after Li Chengli couldn't call Mrs. Qian's mother-in-law, he changed to the third aunt Qian.
