Chapter 237: Separate early, be neat early
Even if a gold mine was discovered, it was a secret and would definitely not be announced to the outside for the time being.
Little Cangcang had a natural sensitivity to metal. It said it could help Lu Qiao find the gold mine, and Lu Qiao believed it.
So when Little Cangcang said there was a gold vein under the old gold mine, Lu Qiao also believed it.
She appropriately reminded Qin Hengzhi and then stopped paying attention.
She was still a mediator of the Neighborhood Office. Even if the higher-ups wanted to promote her, it didn't comply with regulations. Now that she had filled out the application form for cadre transfer, it was already an exception.
Lu Qiao also wrote another application letter, wanting to go down. This identity was necessary.
So Lu Qiao was not in a hurry.
She followed Sister Qiao to investigate households with dogs. Small ones were fine, but large ones were notified to tie them up.
Walked through two-thirds of the bungalow area in the morning.
Seeing it was almost noon, Sister Qiao and Lu Qiao prepared to get off work, made an appointment for the meeting place in the afternoon, and just when they were about to separate, they heard the sound of quarreling in front.
Sister Qiao and Lu Qiao looked at each other, conditioned reflex, and even without thinking, rode their bicycles toward the front.
Arriving at the place, they saw a man holding another man, shouting sternly: "Meng Liben, why bother? The children you raise are my seeds. When they grow up, the one they will be filial to is me, their biological father. You eat hard and don't please, why don't you divorce Wu Xiaoxia?"
The man called Meng Liben had a scar on his face. He clenched his fists, forcibly enduring the anger in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Let go!"
Lu Qiao looked, wasn't one of them Ding Zichuan who sold the 36.89 yuan, 18 catties of grain coupons, and 1 catty of meat coupons in a book and then framed Wu Xiaoxia?
And the other man with a scar on his face was known to Sister Qiao and Lu Qiao.
It was the man Wu Xiaoxia married later.
So his name was Meng Liben.
More and more people were surrounding, and then Wu Xiaoxia squeezed into the crowd and grabbed Meng Liben's hand: "Go, let's go home."
But if you listen carefully, you can hear Wu Xiaoxia's trembling that she was forcibly enduring.
Meng Liben was about to follow Wu Xiaoxia, but his face was gloomy and looked quite scary.
Don't know if it was toward Wu Xiaoxia or toward Ding Zichuan.
Naturally, you can't just leave after watching the fun when encountering such a thing, but you can't rush forward and mess around either.
Sister Qiao and Lu Qiao said: "Look first, maybe it will disperse if it's fine."
In this world, people with correct values still occupy the majority.
Someone accused Ding Zichuan: "Don't be unreasonable. Why do you speak so harshly? When you divorced, I advised you, but you didn't listen. What's the matter? Now you regret it and find trouble with Meng Liben. You are simply a person who doesn't understand anything. Let go quickly."
"That's right, it's noon, and it doesn't look good to be pulling and dragging like this."
Ding Zichuan's face was gloomy, and he had to let go.
But the next moment, he went to pull Wu Xiaoxia.
Blocked by Meng Liben, who was quick-eyed and fast-handed, he roared: "Ding Zichuan, if you dare to pester again, I will find the Security Section."
Ding Zichuan seemed to have let go of everything: "You find it, you go find it. I come to see my son, can you manage it? In this world, which law stipulates that after divorce, I, the biological father, cannot see my son?"
This really didn't exist.
Meng Liben's face was gloomy and he didn't speak.
He also couldn't say anything about Wu Xiaoxia. If he did, what if this bastard said
Suddenly, Ding Zichuan wailed loudly at Wu Xiaoxia: "Xiaoxia, I was wrong, I was wrong, please forgive me. I truly regret it, I have regretted it for a long time, I regret it so much that I could kill myself, boohoo..."
This scene from Ding Zichuan startled everyone around.
They say men don't shed tears easily, only because they haven't reached the point of heartbreak.
It was truly the first time seeing a grown man cry so sorrowfully.
Wu Xiaoxia's face turned pale instantly.
For some reason, her eyes also turned red; it was her first time seeing Ding Zichuan shed tears.
She actually looked a bit at a loss.
This won't do.
Lu Qiaoge wanted to step forward to interrupt, but then she thought, no; it wasn't about testing the relationship between Wu Xiaoxia and Meng Liben, but if Ding Zichuan kept pestering like this and Wu Xiaoxia softened her heart again, while unfair to Meng Liben, it might not necessarily be a bad thing.
It was the kind of situation where a clean break early is better.
Otherwise, it would drag on endlessly, and no one would be able to live in peace.
Lu Qiaoge saw Meng Liben glance at Wu Xiaoxia's expression, then slowly let go of Wu Xiaoxia's hand.
His expression also turned cold.
Actually, from the outside, the handsome Ding Zichuan and the beautiful Wu Xiaoxia were a good match.
As for Meng Liben, he had scars on his face, and several intersecting ones at that; if not for his upright and firm temperament, he truly couldn't compare to the handsome Ding Zichuan.
Someone whispered: "Sigh, actually, a couple is best when they are the original pair; no matter what, there are two children, and they are their own biological parents."
"That's right, Ding Zichuan is so regretful now; look at how miserable he looks crying, sigh, he looks quite pitiful."
"Who's to say otherwise? I saw him buying treats for the two children; the father and his two sons were laughing and talking, very close."
"Actually, Ding Zichuan isn't wrong; they all live in the same family compound, and the two children aren't young anymore. How meaningless is it for Meng Liben to be a stepfather? Isn't he just raising children for Ding Zichuan's family?"
"If it were me, Meng Liben would be better off finding a widow with children; that way, the children can be raised to be close."
Lu Qiaoge frowned; could it be that Ding Zichuan and Chen Dafeng had divorced?
She turned to look at Sister Qiao: "Did Ding Zichuan get a divorce?"
Sister Qiao shook her head: "This... I'm not sure either."
Then Sister Qiao lowered her voice: "Matters between men and women are never easy to resolve. You can't blame Ding Zichuan for how things are now; you also have to look at Wu Xiaoxia's attitude. And don't forget Meng Liben; if he has a knot in his heart, his life with Xiaoxia won't last."
She paused, then added: "They aren't wrong either; living in the same family compound, who can stop Ding Zichuan from seeing his children? You can't make the children not acknowledge their own father, right?"
Lu Qiaoge frowned and said bluntly: "If the two of them were to get back together, with Ding Zichuan's petty nature, could they be as free of grudges as before?"
The world is just like this.
The demands on women have always been harsh.
A cheating man has merely committed a mistake that all men under heaven would commit, yet there are so many disgusting terms for a cheating woman.
A man who has divorced several times still looks for young girls, but a woman who has divorced once is basically seen as problematic.
Just like Wu Xiaoxia.
She is on her second marriage, married to another man, and they have been together for almost a year; it would be strange if Ding Zichuan didn't mind.
Sister Qiao thought about it carefully and felt it seemed right.
But just then, a woman rushed in from outside the crowd.
It was Ding Zichuan's current wife, Chen Dafeng.
She rushed into the crowd, ignoring the weeping Ding Zichuan, and lunged at Wu Xiaoxia.
