Ye Weijun suddenly broke into a cold sweat. If he really went in, no matter what the charge was, those people always found ways to get you with reasons you couldnāt even imagine. When Du Guangjun said that, he believed him.
This life, he still had plenty of time to enjoy himself. He didnāt want to fall in this unlucky place called S City.
"Fine, divorce it is. But Qiu Hualan has to go home with me to handle the divorce," at least heād still have two thousand yuan in his hands. With that amount, he could live happily for a few years. "When will you give me the money?"
"Weāll leave the day after tomorrow, Iāll go with you, and Iāll bring the money. As soon as you complete the divorce, Iāll give you the money on the spot."
"Humph. Letās go then," once theyāre back home, it wouldnāt be S City anymore, and then, heād be the one calling the shots.
Du Guangjun saw that he had intimidated Ye Weijun. To avoid complications, he went to Qiu Hualan that night to tell her that Ye Weijun agreed to the divorce.
"Two thousand, but... but I donāt have that much to give him," Qiu Hualan said, taking out her bankbook from the wardrobe. "I only have five hundred yuan in there. If necessary, Iāll just sell the house."
"Donāt worry, keep your money, Iāll pay the two thousand for you."
"Old Du, Iāve already owed you so much, how can I have the face to ask you to advance the money for me? How can I live with myself?"
"Whatās with this divide between us? In my heart, weāre already family. Ye Weijun is easy to fool, he hasnāt yet thought about the house. If he knew the house was yours, the house might not stay safe. Weāre already so old, the house is a priority, it definitely shouldnāt be sold. I told him, weāll leave early the day after tomorrow. Iāll go with you."
"Old Du, this..."
"I donāt trust you going alone, I fear heāll be up to something fishy."
"Hmm..."
After discussing it, the next day, Du Guangjun boldly took Qiu Hualan home to stay with him.
Ye Weijun was furious, grinding his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He could only watch helplessly as they acted like shameless lovers. It was strange, nearby neighbors clearly knew, yet acted as if they didnāt, even not gossiping behind their backs.
Ye Weijun didnāt know that Du Guangjun held weight in the Urban Construction Bureau. Although he retired early, he still had influence. Any major decision needed Du Guangjunās approval.
Besides, his daughter and son-in-law were capable, no one dared to offend them in this area. Even if they knew about Du Guangjun and Qiu Hualanās affair, they would only talk behind their backs, they wouldnāt be foolish enough to speak out openly. Certainly wouldnāt be around the neighborhood broadcasting it like a loudspeaker. That would be like putting a wrench in their own future.
... But what they originally agreed upon ran into an issue at the train station the next day. Just when Du Guangjun went to buy tickets, Ye Weijun pulled Qiu Hualan onto a train heading south.
No matter where they were going, heād first shake off Du Guangjun.
"Damn it, in S City, I couldnāt beat you, but once back home, it will be my domain."
"Ye Weijun, let go of me, where are you trying to take me?"
"Where to? Of course home. Qiu Hualan, you bitch. Let me tell you, donāt think youāll escape my grip in this life. Donāt think I donāt know. If you divorce me, our Ah Qing will instantly turn her back and disown me. In the future, I wonāt be able to get a penny from her. You think Iām stupid enough to let you both, my money tree, walk away. That cheap nature in your bones, you canāt hide it anywhere you go. After just a few days away, youāve gotten cozy with someone else. This green hat youāve put on me is thick enough... Growing old yet never behaving, a day without discipline, you wouldnāt even know which way is north, south, east, or west.
