Chapter 239

Chen Dafeng, standing in the crowd, learned for the first time what it meant to have bitterness one cannot speak of.

Looking at the pen and notebook in Lu Qiaoge's hand, and knowing her identity, Chen Dafeng finally shut her mouth.

Thus, the once arrogant Chen Dafeng now looked like a bicycle tire that had lost all its air.

In the crowd, there were people who had been bullied by Chen Dafeng; seeing this scene, they cursed in their hearts: Serves you right, you met someone tough, didn't you? If you're so capable, why don't you open your mouth and curse? So you aren't afraid of heaven or earth after all, you know fear too, don't you?

It seems everyone likes to bully the weak and fear the strong.

Seeing Chen Dafeng shut her mouth, Lu Qiaoge said gently to everyone: "Everyone, hurry home and eat."

Old Liang in the crowd turned away quietly, unable to help but think of the Lu Qiaoge of the past.

That girl, was she ever this sharp?

It seems that under the sudden change of life and death, a person can really be stimulated to strive for self-improvement.

Just like Shen Yun now; under Lu Qiaoge's stimulation, she really seems like a different person compared to before.

Not to mention her, even his son, Liang Aishu, is different from before.

In the past, he would stand by the window reciting poetry at the drop of a hat, but ever since he broke up with Lu Qiaoge, he hasn't been heard reciting it again.

It's quiet, but something still feels off.

Secretary He happened to be passing by and saw this scene; he was actually quite surprised that a Lu Qiaoge could hold the ground.

But in fact, he also felt it was only natural.

She presented facts and reasoned; every sentence was logical and every word was based on evidence. Dare I ask, what fault can you find in her?

Everything she did could withstand scrutiny and was not afraid of it.

Just like what she did just now.

Go look for it, there are indeed such clauses and regulations.

Those were promulgated in the sixties, but in reality, how many people have used them to protect their own rights?

Just like Chen Dafeng; there are many people who have been insulted by her. Are they angry? Of course they are.

For example, Master Liu from logistics; just because he gave her one less glove when distributing labor protection supplies, he was cursed by Chen Dafeng until he was covered in spit. Old Liu was so angry he trembled all over and almost ended up in the hospital, but he never thought of using these regulations to deal with Chen Dafeng. At most, he would curse a few times behind her back, saying she was a rolling knife and not to pay her any mind, just consider it bad luck.

Secretary He found it very interesting.

He also remembered what the Women's Federation Chairwoman told him, that the patriarchal thinking in the family compound had improved a lot now.

Not to mention Lu Qiaoge, even Fan Xiaoyu is a typical example.

Secretary He left with his hands behind his back, feeling very reassured.

At this time, the onlookers couldn't continue to crowd around and left one after another.

But almost all of them greeted Lu Qiaoge.

Some said: "Qiaoge, you and Sister Qiao are coming to my place for dinner."

Others asked: "Qiaoge, when is your food factory hiring?"

Still others smiled: "Qiaoge, does your younger sister have a partner? What kind is she looking for? I have many young men in my hands..."

The atmosphere that should have been on the verge of breaking out became gentle.

Lu Qiaoge greeted them one by one. After everyone left, Lu Qiaoge suddenly tightened her little face, looked at Ding Zichuan, and said bluntly: "Comrade Ding, I must criticize you. Resolving private matters in public is the most unwise approach. You are not a child anymore; you cannot do as you please. Today's matter was you pestering unreasonably first; shouldn't you apologize to Comrade Meng?"

Meng Liben didn't want to get entangled, but Lu Qiaoge meant well, and he couldn't be ungrateful.

So, he stood in front of Ding Zichuan and looked at him coldly.

Ding Zichuan didn't expect things not to go according to his plan.

He wanted to force Meng Liben and Wu Xiaoxia to divorce in front of everyone.

And he also wanted to divorce Chen Dafeng.

He truly loathed this woman; compared to Xiaoxia, she was truly worlds apart.

But Chen Dafeng wouldn't agree to a divorce.

He could only force Meng Liben and Wu Xiaoxia to divorce first; if they waited a few more years and their feelings deepened, Xiaoxia wouldn't have any possibility of turning back.

He had also gone all out.

For this moment today, he had planned for more than half a month.

He also knew Chen Dafeng was unpopular and surely no one would bother to notify her, but who would have thought that there really were shameless people who loved to watch the excitement and ran to tell Chen Dafeng.

Otherwise, Chen Dafeng couldn't have returned so quickly.

He also didn't expect a sudden intervention.

Lu Qiaoge, the mediator from the neighborhood office.

She suppressed Chen Dafeng, but what about his own affairs?

Still have to apologize to Meng Liben?

But he still said: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive today."

At this time, Wu Xiaoxia, who had been blocked behind Meng Liben, stood out and tried to calm herself down.

She knew that today, the matter had to be resolved.

Otherwise, after going back, her life with Meng Liben would be impossible to continue.

She said in a cold voice: "Ding Zichuan, in this world, no one can't live without someone else, and there's no rule that says you must spend your whole life together once you're married. Look, we divorced, I remarried, and you also married a wife; isn't it all quite good? You live your life, I live mine."

"You are unwilling to give up simply because Chen Dafeng couldn't endure you like I did, so you felt uncomfortable and unhappy. Later, when you found your month's salary, you thought, 'Oh, so Wu Xiaoxia isn't a thief after all, so she didn't steal my money to subsidize her maiden family,' so you, Ding Zichuan, came to find me, wanting me to divorce, wanting to turn back. But how did you know I would still be waiting for you in the same place for you to turn back and regret?"

Lu Qiaoge looked at Wu Xiaoxia with surprise.

She didn't stop them immediately just now because she didn't want Meng Liben to continue living with a fickle Wu Xiaoxia.

After all, seeing Ding Zichuan cry, Wu Xiaoxia was truly so upset she was about to cry along with him.

But she didn't expect her to be able to say these words.

Ding Zichuan stared blankly at Wu Xiaoxia.

Wu Xiaoxia was still the same as before, gentle and beautiful, always speaking in a slow, soft voice.

But something had changed.

Yes, her aura and behavior had changed.

She couldn't win an argument against him before, and every time she was so angry she would wail loudly.

But now she had logic and evidence, actually leaving him unable to say a single word of rebuttal.

A hint of a smile and tenderness finally appeared in Meng Liben's eyes.

Xiaoxia finally wouldn't endure in silence anymore, and finally knew how to refute Ding Zichuan.

Wu Xiaoxia continued: "Seeing you wail loudly today, I was indeed quite upset, but I was upset for my past self."

"In my memory, Ding Zichuan was not such a person. You never had a time when you were sad, and you never felt you were wrong. It was always me who was wrong, me who was sad, and me who wailed loudly."

Ding Zichuan frowned, his eyes fixed on Wu Xiaoxia, not quite understanding what nonsense Wu Xiaoxia was spouting again.

Wu Xiaoxia: "Actually, there's no point in saying anything to someone like you. Whether it's wrong or not doesn't matter; everything is in the past. Everyone is a person who cares about face, and for the sake of the future, I also hope you will behave yourself."
