The leader is my girlfriend

Chapter 235: Cheng Yanzi's Story of Going to the Countryside (3)

Wang Yiming took a sip of tea, refilled his cup, and continued to ask, "So he really doesn't dare to hit you?"

"People are afraid of having to worry about something, just like those with bare feet are not afraid of those with shoes. Now that I am alive, I have nothing to worry about, so I confronted him directly.

If you dare to touch me, you'd better never close your eyes and sleep, because I will definitely boil a pot of hot water and pour it all over your face when you sleep.

Or when you turn your back to me, I will go up and chop you with a knife, and you will either die or be crippled and paralyzed from the waist down.

Of course, don't expect me to serve your family obediently, washing clothes and cooking for you like I did before, because I will throw all the clothes into the toilet, and put the leftover rat poison in your food, so that we will all eat it and die together."

Wang Yiming couldn't help but admire him. He continued to complete his supporting role, "Then aren't you afraid that he will ignore the consequences and force himself on you?"

Cheng Yanzi thought for a moment. "At first, I was worried about this, too, so I always secretly carried a pair of scissors with me just in case. But after a period of observation and experimentation, I unexpectedly discovered the secret to solving the problem. Whenever I sensed he was about to lose his temper, I would preemptively vent my anger. Then, all the problems were solved. Sometimes, even when I asked him to kneel down and admit his mistakes, he would do so obediently, not daring to resist at all. The whole process was like a process of domestication."

"What about his mother, your mother-in-law, and your sister-in-law? Didn't they hit you?" It's impossible for a family to compromise easily when one of them is beaten. Wang Yiming pointed out the point he didn't understand.

"How could I not do it? His mother was interesting. She thought I would just stand there like a fool and let her beat and scold me, but she never expected... I suddenly dodged it, but his mother didn't brake in time and stepped on the pickaxe on the ground. You can imagine the scene at that time!

The huge lever force generated when the pickaxe was suddenly stepped on hit her nose with a "bang", and her nose was bleeding. The village doctor could not treat her at all, so she had to be rushed to the county. After diagnosis, it was said that she had a broken nose and a moderate concussion. She was confused when she woke up and could not see clearly.

His sister-in-law is even more ridiculous. She actually boasted that she would teach me, a lazy and gluttonous woman, a lesson on behalf of her brother-in-law. Please, she didn't even open her eyes and see clearly. Putting aside other things, just consider my physique. I've worked in the fields for so many years, and now I can eat my fill every day. It's not easy to deal with a cunning and cunning woman like her. It's so..."

Cheng Yanzi suddenly got stuck...

Wang Yiming quickly took over the conversation, "So easy! I didn't expect you could speak English!"

Cheng Yanzi was stunned for a moment, then replied a little embarrassedly, "Well, actually, I only know a little bit."

Wang Yiming pretended to be nonchalant and asked curiously, "Oh? Did you also learn it by yourself?"

Cheng Yanzi nodded and responded, "Yes, I learned it by myself."

Wang Yiming smiled and exclaimed, "It seems you are interested in quite a lot of things!"

Cheng Yanzi smiled modestly and said, "It's just average, third in the ranking."

Wang Yiming was amused by her words. Once the truth was discovered, more and more would be revealed. "Haha, then, can you continue?"

Then, Cheng Yanzi cleared her throat and continued to tell the story vividly.

"Ever since that time, I've been able to completely let go. Today I'll use white flour to make omelets, tomorrow I'll kill an old hen and make soup, and the day after tomorrow I'll order him to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy all kinds of snacks and cakes. As for me, I simply stopped going to work and focused on taking care of my health.

To be honest, even I was puzzled. I had already come this far. According to common sense, he should be eager to divorce me! But in the end, he had no such intention at all. Isn't this amazing?

He didn't cherish what he had, and then he regretted it when he lost it. Cheng Yanzi used to work hard and live a good life with him, but he treated me like that. After I got my life back, he went back to being a bootlicker. He cooked when I asked him to, washed my clothes when I asked him to. I'd send him out to buy me mung bean cakes, peach cakes, apples, and watermelon. If I wanted something, I'd send him out to buy it. If he couldn't find it, he'd come back and apologize, even buying me other things to appease me, afraid I'd get angry with him again. No matter how much his mother and sister-in-law complained, he was adamant he wouldn't divorce me.

"So how did you finally succeed in getting a divorce?" Although the topic was just getting to the point at this moment, Wang Yiming listened with great interest.

"Then I'm going to tell you the third story. It stems from what I said at the beginning. He's a good man, kind-hearted, selfless, and willing to lend a helping hand. So, how could there not be people in need in the same village? Look, the widow at the east end of the village is in great need, and she's eagerly awaiting his assistance."

"I still have soda in the cabinet. I'll open another bottle for you. Wait a minute!" After saying that, Wang Yiming stood up and opened a bottle of soda and handed it over. "Go on, go on."

"The widow's husband was once her best friend, and now he's passed away, leaving behind a helpless brother and sister-in-law, plus a young niece. Just imagine, they're in such a desperate situation, and they need help!"

Wang Yiming hesitated for a moment and asked cautiously, "Don't they say...you shouldn't cheat on your friend's wife?"

Cheng Yanzi answered without thinking, "Maybe there's another homophone for it - 友友妻不客气."

After confirming that they were fellow villagers of similar age, Wang Yiming nodded in agreement, "That's right, please continue."

"It was such a coincidence. I asked him to buy me a watermelon that day, but he left too late and the watermelons were sold out. Fearing I would cause trouble, he bought me a hairband from the supply and marketing cooperative, saying it was a new model that had just arrived and that it was out of stock after he bought it. I didn't think much of it at the time. After all, I didn't want to carry it, so I put it aside and went out for a walk.

But unexpectedly, when I walked to the big tree on the east side of the village, I saw that his sister-in-law, Widow Li, was wearing the exact same hairband on her head!

You know, in the city, a woman with a stable job can basically guarantee food and clothing, at least her personal food, clothing and daily expenses are completely worry-free. But in remote rural areas, if there is no strong and able-bodied labor force in the family, then life will definitely be very poor.

So, the hairband on Widow Li's head, the new shoes on her feet, the clothes without patches on her body, and even her daughter, compared with other children of the same age in the village, all look particularly bright and beautiful. Where did all these come from?

Before her husband died, the mother and daughter had a hard time. So why did things suddenly get better after he died? It must be because kind people helped and generously donated money!

Wang Yiming couldn't help but interrupt, "So this good man is your husband?"

"Deputy Minister, please use the correct wording. It's ex-husband." Cheng Yanzi corrected.

"Okay." Wang Yiming clasped his hands together and apologized deeply.

"My life was filled with suffering and hardships. Every penny and dime he gave was like blood sucked out of me. Since everyone says he's a good man, then what he wants most is face. So what if he loses it?

I didn't even need to ask for help from outsiders. I just gave his nephews and nieces a gentle reminder, telling them, 'Your uncle is a very kind person and bought you a lot of food and daily necessities, but for some reason, all of these things ended up with Panpan at the east end of the village.'

Never underestimate children's jealousy and ability to stir up trouble. Just like that, when he went in to deliver rice and noodles, he was 'accidentally' discovered by the villagers amid the children's shouts.
