Chapter 542: That's wishing for a fart

Old Han cursed a few more times in his heart.

But he had to say: "Reasonable, it must be reasonable."

But if some families don't give it, saying they would rather smash it than allow it to be taken back, what can be done?

Thus, Old Han said again: "But we must be based on the opinions of both sides, right, Old Hu?"

Old Hu also laughed out loud, then said: "Saying it like this is also no problem, but there is a premise here, that is, whose responsibility is greater, who made the most mistakes in this marriage, then this party at fault still wants the other party's things, that's wishing for a fart."

Director Han: "……"

Zhao Zhao Jianjun and Zhao Zhao Daxue: "……"

Auntie Liu's eyes lit up. These words were too bright.

Director Han on that side said thoughtfully: "Old Hu, I've learned this too."

Learned it is good, Old Hu thought in his heart, can't always hit each other fifty boards, must distinguish who is the party at fault, protect the party who was hurt. Actually, this was also learned from Lu Qiaoge.

The cadres of the neighborhood office all knew.

But these words couldn't be said to Director Han on the phone.

Director Han on that side put down the phone and said to a cadre beside him: "You go investigate what is going on with the Old Zhao family, mainly ask how Jiang Mu Guiying performed in the Zhao family, and how the Zhao family treated her?"

This cadre agreed and prepared to walk out.

Another cadre said: "My younger sister is their neighbor. Actually, the couple really had good feelings. Zhao Zhao Jianjun likes Jiang

It's just that Zhao Zhao Jianjun's mother and Zhao Zhao Daxue don't know why they can't stand Jiang Mu Guiying; they really find fault with everything. It was fine during the time they first got married. Now that a year has passed and Jiang Mu Guiying hasn't gotten pregnant, that old Mrs. Zhao started pointing at the mulberry tree to curse the locust tree, and Zhao Zhao Daxue, instead of stopping her, followed along to add fuel to the fire.

That Zhao Zhao Daxue also has issues; her workplace isn't far from home, yet she insists on running back to her maiden home every day to eat, leaving all the housework to her mother-in-law, who is in poor health. She has plenty of things to say at her maiden home; no matter how the young daughter-in-law cooks, she can always pick out faults. The young daughter-in-law isn't a professional chef and hasn't cooked much at home, so the food certainly isn't very delicious, but this sort of thing takes time, doesn't it? Otherwise, if you're so good at it, you come and teach her. You're nothing yourself, yet you pick on other people's faults."

Another cadre said: "Exactly, I really can't stand people like Zhao Zhao Daxue. Zhao Zhao Jianjun is also a spineless coward. What era is this? If they really get a divorce, why shouldn't Jiang Mu Guiying be able to take what belongs to her? The Zhao family says they won't give it, so they don't give it? They've been spoiled!"

Old Han: "..."

These people, one by one, are all so clear-headed now.

Why didn't you all say that in the beginning?

You all followed along, muddling through and acting like good people; now you're being so decisive.

However, Old Han certainly wouldn't say that. He had that cadre go investigate, and then when Zhao Zhao Jianjun and Jiang Mu Guiying came to get a divorce, Old Han handled the matter personally.

He sternly told Zhao Zhao Jianjun to return the things belonging to Jiang Mu Guiying to her, and for what had already been used, to convert it into money.

Zhao Zhao Daxue naturally came along too, and blurted out: "Isn't the food Jiang Mu Guiying ate worth money?"

Auntie Jiang Jiang Liushen cursed her for being shameless: "My daughter has a job; she makes thirty-two yuan every month and eats at the cafeteria at noon. She lived with Zhao Zhao Jianjun for a year; this nearly four hundred yuan of hers was enough to support herself. She didn't take advantage of your Zhao family one bit, unlike some shameless people with foul mouths who go back to their maiden home to eat every day, not only without bringing a single cent but also being picky about the food. Zhao Zhao Daxue, you're happy now, aren't you? You don't have to struggle every day to pick faults with my daughter. Stay away from me, you stink..."

Zhao Zhao Daxue was told she had a foul mouth countless times today.

It's all Lu Lu Qiaoge's fault; if she hadn't brought it up first, how would others have noticed this matter?

She just knew that anything this meddlesome woman got involved in never ended well.

The furious Zhao Zhao Daxue, her face flushed red, was just about to speak when Director Han waved his hand, telling her to shut up.

Subsequently, Director Han said: "I have already investigated clearly. In this marriage, Comrade Jiang Mu Guiying is not at fault; on the contrary, your Zhao family did not treat Jiang Mu Guiying well, especially you, Zhao Zhao Daxue, who still have the nerve to spout nonsense here. Haven't you realized your own mistakes even now?

Our neighborhood office has always preferred to tear down ten temples rather than break up one marriage. But you, Zhao Zhao Daxue, are something else. You meddled until your brother and sister-in-law got a divorce, and not only did you not think about helping to save it, but you also made unreasonable trouble and didn't want to return the person's things to them. What on earth are you thinking?

Zhao Zhao Jianjun, Zhao Zhao Daxue, you two return everything that belongs to Comrade Jiang Mu Guiying to her. If you withhold it and don't return it, then the neighborhood office will have to have the security department step in. If it really reaches that point, your Zhao family might not necessarily have any face left."

Zhao Zhao Jianjun's eyes were red and swollen, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I... I will return the things to Mu Guiying."

Auntie Jiang Jiang Liushen sneered: "Don't put on this pathetic act, making it seem like you're so sad and heartbroken. Just the fact that you brought your eldest sister along to your divorce shows you're a heartless coward. I was truly blind back then, listening to the matchmaker's one-sided story and introducing you to my daughter, only to ruin her whole life.

If you ask me, the person who is the least decent is you. Are you deaf, dumb, or blind, just letting your mother and eldest sister run wild at home bullying my daughter while you didn't even dare to let out a fart? What were you doing before, instead of crying here now?"

Director Han pointed at Zhao Zhao Daxue and also said to Auntie Jiang Jiang Liushen: "Alright, you two stop arguing for now; argue after the matter is settled."

Because the woman was determined, the two divorced, and Jiang Mu Guiying also got her things back, including her one-hundred-yuan dowry.

Old Man Zhao stood in the crowd, feeling ashamed.

He was still muttering about how it was just an argument, so why did they get a divorce just like that?

An old lady couldn't stand it and said directly: "Don't play dumb here. You are the head of the household; if you had any sense and kept things in check, could your son and Jiang Mu Guiying have gotten a divorce? Let me tell you, the girls in our military factory aren't like they used to be, getting married just for the sake of marriage. Now, no one dares to say anything even if you don't get married. I heard that they are going to build dormitory buildings, and single people will also be assigned housing. So, after losing Jiang Mu Guiying, your Zhao family really might not be able to find anyone better than her. You don't believe it, right? Let's just wait and see!"

Old Man Zhao was so angry he stopped pretending, and with his neck stiff, he shouted: "My son is so outstanding, girls are scrambling to find him; he'll get divorced today and married tomorrow!"

The old lady sneered: "You're certainly confident!"

Jiang Mu Guiying naturally came along too; she had to get her things back. In fact, she felt lost and helpless inside. Although her mother said she could support her for the rest of her life, there were her brothers and sisters-in-law at home, and there would be conflicts in the future.

But hearing what the old lady said, she suddenly remembered that it seemed to be the case.

Then she listened to Old Man Zhao's words.

It felt truly disgusting.

She took another look at Zhao Zhao Jianjun, who was keeping quiet and pretending to be innocent, and let out a long, heavy sigh.

Suddenly, she felt that life wasn't so bad after all.

And just as Old Man Zhao was about to speak again, he suddenly touched his forehead—ah, bird droppings, and quite a lot of them. It was practically plastered all over his head.

Six birds did it together; how could there not be a lot?

This was the work of Taotao and the others who were watching the spectacle.
