Zhao Hongxia said that she was unwilling to divorce even if she died.
Her husband dragged her to the Civil Affairs Bureau, where she made a fuss and wanted to jump out of the window.
The people from the Civil Affairs Bureau had no choice but to say that if one of the spouses was unwilling to divorce, they could not handle the divorce procedures.
Since the marriage was not divorced, Zhang Guangmao placed Zhao Hongxia's fault on her husband and gave her the lowest overall score.
Half a month later, the list of expulsions was finally determined, including He Dali and Zhao Hongxia's husband.
When Zhao Hongxia left Tongzilou, her eyes and face were swollen, and she had obviously been beaten by her husband.
Li Qinghua carried two bags of luggage and cried all the way downstairs.
Her husband He Dali comforted her, "It's good to be in the countryside. I'm not suitable for factory work, but farming is suitable for me. Qinghua, let's live a good life in the future..."
"How can you live a good life? Your mother must not scold me to death?"
"Why is my mother scolding you? If it weren't for you, how could I get full marks for my overall quality? It's my own professional skills that pulled the score up."
He Dali took his wife's hand and said flatteringly: "My mother gave birth to a stupid pig like me. If she wants to scold me, she will scold me. Wife, just don't think I'm a pig..."
Li Qinghua was amused by him and wiped away her tears.
"I will despise you. If I marry you, a pig, I will be unlucky!"
After saying that, she sniffed, "But there's nothing I can do. Marry a chicken, follow the chicken, marry a dog, follow the dog. I'll follow you, this pig, in my life. I'll go wherever you go. I'll just go back to the countryside anyway.
I won’t die of hunger.”
"No, besides, no one stipulates that rural people cannot come to the city. Maybe we can come back in the future and bring the swallows with us."
After comforting his wife, He Dali snatched the bag from her hand and put it on his shoulder.
"Mom," He Xiaoyan was still stupid, "where are we going?"
"Go back to your hometown and live with your grandparents..."
"When will you come back? I still want to go to elementary school with Xiaosi."
After walking out of the Tongzi Tower, He Xiaoyan looked back at the house behind her, "I want Xiaosi to teach me how to climb trees and catch cicadas."
Li Qinghua felt sour in her heart when she heard this, and couldn't help but shed tears.
Hey! If I had known earlier, I would not have stopped Yanzi and let Yanzi and Su Xiaosi play more.
When they were about to walk out of the staff compound, Su Xiaosi's voice suddenly came from behind, "Aunt Li..."
"Is it Xiaosi?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Yanzi turned around and saw Xiaosi, who was longing for her. She broke away from her mother's hand and ran forward happily.
She smiled and said: "Xiaosi, I am going back to my hometown with my parents to visit my grandparents. When I come back, we can go to elementary school with you and play together, okay?"
Su Xiaosi knew that she could not come back, and couldn't help but think of running around the building with Yanzi all day long when she was a child...
Hide and seek, weave flower baskets, pretend to be a family drinking...
His nose felt sore, "Well, let's play together again in the future."
After saying that, he walked towards Li Qinghua and handed the oilskin bag in his hand to her.
"There is osmanthus cake inside. My eldest brother and second brother picked osmanthus from the mountain yesterday. My family also made it last year, but because we couldn't afford flour, we used sweet potato powder. My mother remembers that swallows love eating this very much, so this time
I specially made an extra portion for you to eat on the way."
When He Xiaoyan heard about the food, her eyes lit up, "Osmanthus cake, the osmanthus cake made by Aunt Bai is so delicious!"
Feeling the heat from the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in her hand, Li Qinghua's eyes became moist again.
"Aunt Li," Su Xiaosi explained to her, "my mother felt that you had been wronged about my tomatoes, and she felt very sorry for you. She was embarrassed to come to see you off in person, for fear that you would be angry with her."
"Why am I angry with her? Although I am short-tempered and a bit snobbish, I am not stupid. Everyone has scolded me and slandered me from the beginning to the end, except Sister-in-law Su..."
Li Qinghua took a deep breath and tried not to let tears fall.
Unable to bear it any longer, she turned her back and wiped away her tears, then turned back to Su Xiaosi and said: "I am blind, making friends with people like Zhao Hongxia, ugh! Now I finally know why Lin Yulan and your mother later
Then it’s better…”
At this point, she sighed and said, "It's too late to say anything now. Thank your mother for me."
He Dali didn't want his daughter to have any regrets, so he said to Yanzi, "You and your fourth brother should hug each other goodbye."
After hearing what his father said, Yanzi happily threw himself into Xiaosi's arms, "Goodbye, Xiaosi."
"Well, goodbye Yanzi." Su Xiaosi patted Yanzi on the back.
"I will definitely marry you when I grow up..."
After He Xiaoyan finished speaking with a smile, she suddenly stood up on tiptoes and kissed Su Xiaosi on the cheek. Before he could react, she took her mother's hand again and left happily.
Most of the workers who were dismissed this time were young singles, without families, living in a dormitory building with several people to a room next door.
In the staff building in the same building as the Su family, only He Dali and Zhao Hongxia's family left.
There were many people in the building who had formed a clique with Zhao Hongxia before and were very close to each other.
Since Zhao Hongxia left, they targeted Xu Qiang's family, saying that Lin Yulan had done much worse things than Zhao Hongxia. Why wasn't Xu Qiang sent back to the countryside by the factory?
"I remember didn't Lin Yulan swear that the fish from Master Su's house must have been stolen that night? Listening to her tone, people who didn't know thought she saw Master Su stealing the fish with her own eyes."
The women who couldn't stand Lin Yulan gathered around and chatted in low voices, "What do you think she wanted to do by reporting Master Su? They are all neighbors, and they didn't offend her, right?"
"She must be jealous! Bai Lu can give birth to a son. Now she has both children and is happy. What about her? She has been unable to conceive for so many years. She only has a daughter..."
Lin Yulan threw the washbasin still filled with water into the pool, causing a large pool of water to splash out.
The person next to him was splashed by the water and shouted angrily at Lin Yulan: "What are you doing?"
"If you want to scold me, just do it openly in front of me, whisper behind my back, and do it secretly. Isn't that interesting?"
"You don't even know whether the fish was stolen or caught, so you just secretly found someone to catch Master Su. Are you reasonable? Tsk! You're such a thick-skinned person! Why are you on the expulsion list?
What if you don’t have a home?”
Lin Yulan put her hands on her hips, "My Qiangzi has been working in the factory for more than eight years, and his performance is excellent in all aspects. Although his grade is not as high as Master Su's, he is still an intermediate fitter..."
"Tsk, tsk, your Xu Qiang is very powerful, but what about you?" Several women gathered around, "I remember your husband was making noises about divorcing you at the beginning of the year, right?"
"If you hadn't shamelessly licked Xu Qiang, I'm afraid he would have abandoned you a long time ago! What the hell? You're such a mean person..."
Lin Yulan was so angry that she was too lazy to continue arguing. She was about to fight with the other party when her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a force.
"Sister-in-law Su?" Everyone looked at Bai Lu who stopped Lin Yulan in shock.
"Director Zhang said that this list is the first batch. There may be a second batch and a third batch in the future. Don't be too impulsive in everything. If things get too big, it will not be good for your hadrons."
Obviously, Bai Lu said this to Lin Yulan with good intentions.
