It didn't take long for Liu Xiaojing's family to arrive. As soon as Liu Xiaozheng entered the door, he saw Zhou Wen's leather bag on the coffee table. He immediately rolled up his sleeves, pulled out a kitchen knife from his waistband and shouted: "Zhou Wen, give me your brother-in-law."
come out!"
"Why are you shouting!" the old man yelled and sat down on the sofa. The old lady and Liu Xiaozheng's wife walked into the bedroom. Liu Xiaojing threw herself into her mother's arms: "Mom, I'm not alive anymore!"
"My child, don't seek life and death. Mom is venting your anger. Where is Zhou Wen, let him come out." The old lady patted her daughter on the back and said.
"He went out and probably went to find that little slut again." Liu Xiaojing gritted her teeth while her tears were still wet.
The family sat down in the living room. Liu Xiaojing took out Zhou Wen's phone bill and explained the whole story clearly. Deputy Secretary Liu lowered his head to smoke and sighed: "Oh, Zhou Wen still didn't take my words to heart."
Above all, the issue of work style is the most critical issue for cadres.”
The old lady said: "Is it interesting for you to mention it now? Zhou Wen is raising a child outside. Is he still a human being? If he doesn't apologize to Xiaojing, this matter must not be brought down."
Liu Xiaojing said: "I don't want him to apologize. I want a divorce and I won't live with him."
Deputy Secretary Liu said: "Divorce is a big deal and we need to think carefully about it. Zhou Wen is at the county level at a young age and may continue to move up in the future."
Liu Xiaozheng said angrily: "Dad, you are still protecting him now. When he is the county magistrate, do our family get a penny advantage? When someone sends money home, he won't let his sister accept it. They arrange for me cheaply."
He was not happy when he heard about renting a house. None of the cadres at the county level lived in a large house of several hundred square meters in the luxurious community of Jiangjing. Looking at his sister's house, it was still the same shabby house of eighty square meters.
Zhou Wen is just a white-eyed wolf, no matter how high an official he becomes, our family will not benefit."
Liu Xiaozheng's wife also fanned the flames: "That is, if you don't provide benefits to your family when you are an official, then you will be in vain."
"Shut up, everyone!" The old man suddenly became furious. After all, he was the deputy secretary of Chenguang Factory. The old man was so powerful that everyone did not dare to speak.
"Xiaojing, besides the call records, do you have any other evidence?" the old man asked.
"That's enough."
"That means no more, Xiaojing, you are no longer young. Dad asks you, if you get divorced, what kind of man can you find?"
"This..." Liu Xiaojing fell into confusion. The old man's words were cruel, but the reality was that she was already in her thirties and had a child. Although she had a good job and was living casually in a public institution, it was because of Zhou Wen's face.
If you really want to get divorced, you may not know when you will be laid off, and it will be very difficult to start a family again.
Zhou Wen is different. For a man, he is in his prime when he is in his early thirties, not to mention a county-level cadre. After divorce, he is a standard diamond king. What kind of girl can't be found?
No, we must not divorce, we must not take advantage of this bad couple, Liu Xiaojing suddenly woke up.
"Old man, please make up your mind." Liu Xiaojing's mother said.
Deputy Secretary Liu pondered for a moment, and seemed to have found the feeling he had when presiding over the party committee meeting. Holding a teacup in his hand, he said categorically: "Our old Liu family is reasonable. We invited Zhou Wen's mother to talk face to face with gongs and drums."
Clearly, if he reins in the precipice and returns from the lost path, the matter can be discussed. If he insists on taking risks and becoming the enemy of the people, we will never forgive him. You little bastard, you will raise your tail when you become the county magistrate. Humph, with this salary, I will waste my time on him.
Some training.”
…
It was already dark, and Zhou Wen was still wandering alone outside. The neon lights on the street were flashing, and the noisy crowds were passing by. He walked through the streets and sat down on a bench on the river beach, his stomach growling.
, but I didn’t have a penny on me. Thinking back to the time when a family of three were playing in Jiangtan Park, I felt as if I was in another world.
Suddenly his cell phone rang. Zhou Wen thought it was a call from home. He took a deep breath and prepared to respond, but found out that it was Baina's number.
"Mr. Magistrate, have you eaten? Today my colleagues and I went to eat Haidilao. It was funny. One friend said he wanted to eat KFC, and the waiter actually went and bought one..."
Baina kept chattering, her cheerful voice gradually driving away the unhappiness in Zhou Wen's heart.
"Why aren't you talking? Are you at home?" Baina talked to herself for a while and then suddenly asked.
"Oh, it's nothing, I'm outside."
"Okay, I won't delay you anymore. I know you have a lot of social activities, so drink less and pay attention to your health, 88."
Baina hung up the phone, and a busy signal came from the receiver. Zhou Wen sighed, got up and dragged heavy steps towards his mother's house.
Zhou Wen is a single-parent family. His father was a factory driver and died in a car accident. His mother was a childcare worker at a factory-run nursery. She worked hard to raise Zhou Wen. In order to buy a wedding house for her son, the old mother sold the house and took all her life savings.
After she came out, Liu Xiaojing refused to live with her mother-in-law, so her mother quietly rented a small bungalow outside. She usually did not dare to disturb her son and daughter-in-law. Sometimes she missed her grandson, so she would call her son, fearing that her daughter-in-law would be disturbed.
Know.
This situation didn't change until Zhou Wen became the mayor's secretary. Zhou Wen rented a small apartment for his mother. At least it had gas and a bathroom. He didn't have to light the briquette stove himself. In the middle of winter, he had to queue up to go to the public toilet. Liu Xiaojing also
Gradually, I started to feel better, and I often took Bo Rui to see my grandma.
Zhou Wen walked to his mother's house. No one answered the knock on the door. A neighbor poked his head out and said, "Hey, County Magistrate Zhou is here. Your mother took Bo Rui to your house."
"Oh, thank you." Zhou Wen turned around and walked back to his home. Thinking of his mother and his son, he felt that everything should be cherished. Although Liu Xiaojing made a bit of a fuss, he was also at fault, so it would be better to explain.
…
Zhou Wen's family looked like a three-room interrogation, with Zhou Wen's mother sitting on a wooden chair, Liu Xiaojing's family sitting on the sofa, his brother-in-law leaning against the door with a cigarette in his mouth, and Zhou Borui having been coaxed into his room to sleep.
"My mother-in-law, I have always treated this child Zhou Wen as my own son. I am very sad when something like this happened..." Deputy Secretary Liu expressed his heartache.
Liu Xiaojing's mother interjected: "My mother-in-law, I'm not talking about you, how did you teach your son? Our family treats him well. At the beginning, he was poor and had nothing. We married our daughter to him without any hope of enjoying any happiness.
, just because this kid is honest and responsible, who knows he is a white-eyed wolf! Your son's conscience has been eaten by dogs, and he is hooking up with Xiaojing outside, is he still a human being! "
"Sister, if you have something to say, don't get excited." Zhou Wen's mother hurriedly advised her. She was called over by phone. As soon as she sat down, she was scolded so hard that she felt dizzy.
"How can you not be excited? Your son is having a mistress outside. The evidence is conclusive! Fortunately, he only became a county magistrate. If he became a mayor or governor, he would be so proud!" Liu Xiaojing's mother became more and more excited as she spoke.
She was frothing at the mouth and vented all her anger on her mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law said weakly: "Don't be angry. Is there some misunderstanding? Xiaowen is not such a person."
This sentence angered his brother-in-law, Liu Xiaozheng jumped up and said: "Don't fucking do this and misunderstand me. Don't think that your son will be great if he becomes the county magistrate. Later I will find a few people to post online to make him look bad and return the county magistrate."
, he can’t even be a township leader..."
My mother-in-law was so frightened that she dared not speak.
Suddenly the door opened, and Zhou Wen appeared at the door, his face ashen.
Liu Xiaozheng stopped talking and looked away.
"Xiao Zheng, come here." Zhou Wen's tone was very calm.
"What do you want, why don't you explain the matter clearly today..." Before Liu Xiaozheng could finish his words, he was slapped on the face with a loud mouth, which was as crisp as the sound of swatting mosquitoes in summer.
"You!" Liu Xiaozheng covered his numb cheek and looked at the county magistrate's brother-in-law in shock, not daring to fight back.
"Keep your mouth clean in front of my mother. If you don't know how to respect the elderly, I will teach you." Although Zhou Wen has not been in politics for a long time, he has dealt with several group incidents and has a high prestige in the county. His own official authority has also been
Cheng Cheng, her mother-in-law's family were all dumbfounded. After being stunned for a moment, Liu Xiaojing suddenly became hysterical: "Okay, Zhou Wen, if you dare to hit my family, if you dare, beat me to death. I really can't live this life. Leave, leave!"
A vein popped up on Zhou Wen's forehead. He originally wanted to go home and reconcile, but he heard his father-in-law and his family scolding his mother at the door. Scenes of the past came to mind. In the past, he just had to live with others and compromise, but now as the county magistrate,
Why should I suffer from their family's idleness anymore? Years of grievances welled up in my heart and suddenly exploded, like a volcano erupting. There was no sense left.
"Just leave, whoever is afraid of you, I don't want anything. I will give you all the house and son's savings. Are you satisfied? Mom, let's go!" Zhou Wen picked up his purse, picked up his mother and walked out.
Liu Xiaojing was stunned, with tears streaming down her face, and she cursed: "Go, you go, and don't come back after you leave." Her son, who had been hiding behind the door and eavesdropping, also started crying, and Zhou Wen's footsteps seemed to have stopped.
For a moment, but still walked out.
The situation has taken a turn for the worse. An experienced political worker like Deputy Secretary Liu has been blinded. The situation is completely out of control. The old man wants to make peace with the situation. After all, his son-in-law has a bright future and a limitless future. Divorcing for a trivial matter is not worth the gain.
However, my wife and son made trouble and intensified the conflict, making it impossible for both parties to get out of the situation.
"That's outrageous!" the old man yelled angrily. He suddenly felt that half of his body had lost all feeling and he fell crookedly. The whole family was suddenly shocked.
A few minutes later, the ambulance came screaming downstairs, and Deputy Secretary Liu was taken away for emergency treatment. The initial diagnosis was cerebral hemorrhage caused by emotion.
While Zhou Wen's family was in turmoil, the office building of Chenguang Factory was full of laughter and laughter. Lao Wen, Xiao Ye, Lu Tianming, the secretary and driver were all ready to go, and their destination was Jiangbei Civil Aviation Airport.
