Chapter 91 Huang Tao
It was already very late when she returned to Xixia Village. Her mother-in-law didn't care at all that she hadn't returned for a day and two nights. Jiang Shuya was also used to her neglect and naturally didn't mention it.
The next morning, while having breakfast, Jiang Shuya heard Huang Guohua mention that Huang Tao from his second uncle's family had returned. Hearing this name, Jiang Shuya felt a little dazed. In his previous life, this man was a thief, a fraud, and had been in jail for several years. He was Huang Minghao's cousin, and the two had a good relationship and had never been married.
I heard that when he was a child, there was a flood on Jiang Island one year. His second mother went to the vineyard to pick vegetables. She missed a step and fell into the pond next to the vineyard. Because she couldn't swim, she drowned. Her body was later discovered when it floated up.
Huang Tao did not go to school for many years, and did not even finish elementary school. He often got into fights and caused trouble. He hung out with bad elements in society all day long. He traveled to several major cities for a long time, stealing and robbing, and committed numerous evil deeds. The police came to his home several times. He was arrested in Yunnan a few years ago and spent several years in prison, but was released early because of his good performance.
"After that thing came back, the old man came to his house twice to persuade him to build a house quickly. The father and son lived in those two houses. The house was bare, leaking wind and rain, and they were fooling around outside all day. After the New Year, the demolition office came to the village. I wonder what he can use to wait for the demolition."
Huang Guohua said with a sad face: "I'm almost 30 years old and I don't want to find a partner to live with. It's really terrible!"
The mother-in-law sneered: "His father doesn't care about it, and he wants you to care about it. Who do you think you are? How can he take you seriously?"
The old man lowered his eyes and said, "You have never seen him be so cowardly. Yesterday I went to his house and pretended to be on the phone, saying that I was discussing business. When I told him about building a house, he said disdainfully that he had already bought a house in the city and did not need to build an illegal building. He also said that he did not care about the compensation at all."
The mother-in-law added, "Don't worry about that. His father doesn't care about you, so why should you care? How can the money for the demolition and housing allocation be given to you? Are you really meddling in other people's business?"
Jiang Shuya was not interested in the conversation between the two. Thinking back to the incident before she got married to Huang Minghao, it still bothered her to this day. Because of that incident, Huang Minghao beat Huang Tao, and since then Huang Tao has never appeared in front of Huang Minghao again.
Two years ago, Jiang Shuya and Huang Minghao were in a passionate love affair. During that time, they met Huang Tao. Later, Huang Tao found an excuse to ask Huang Minghao for Jiang Shuya's mobile phone number and harassed Jiang Shuya every now and then. At first, she was quite polite in her conversations with him. Later, Huang Tao actually asked Jiang Shuya to accompany him for one night, or she might as well agree to be his girlfriend. He also said that Huang Minghao had no shortage of girlfriends and he didn't mind his girlfriend being slept with by Huang Minghao.
Hearing these words made Jiang Shuya's scalp tingle. She decisively blocked the phone call and never answered it again. She even found Huang Minghao to confront him. She even suspected that Huang Minghao was deliberately testing her and treating her in such a despicable way.
That was the time when they had the biggest fight. They didn't see each other for a month and thought they were going to break up. But one day Huang Minghao suddenly proposed to her with flowers and a ring made of foxtail grass. They got married quickly after knowing each other for less than half a year. I never saw Huang Tao again after that. My sister-in-law said that she was beaten by Huang Minghao and had to stay at home for a month, and then left Jiangdao in shame.
When people in the nearby Xixia Village heard that he was back, they no longer dared to go out, for fear that important property might be lost at home. They were very wary of him. Although he had been in jail a few years ago and received an education, his gangster-like temperament had not changed at all.
The mother-in-law suddenly said, "Xiao Ya, your aunt's Xiao Lei gave birth to a son yesterday. I plan to go see her today. I know you are busy. I will take Tang Bao with me. I may not come back tonight and stay at your aunt's house. Grandma Haohao hasn't seen me for a long time. I miss her a lot. Your aunt is busy in Liu Kai's store and can't leave. I am afraid that you will come back to find Tang Bao at night, so I say hello to you first."
Jiang Shuya thought that her mother-in-law was not at home at night and that old man Huang Guohua lived downstairs, so she nodded without thinking too much.
After breakfast, Jiang Shuya came to the mall. She unexpectedly met her cousin today. She came to see her specially. She wanted to contact her again, but she ran into her not long after entering the mall. She was carrying large and small bags on a cart. The two quickly arrived at the entrance of the mall, waited for Wang Ziliang, handed the goods to him, and then entered the mall and found a restaurant to sit down.
Jiang Shuya said with a smile: "Third sister, how come you have time to come to see me today? Last time you said you were busy, so I didn't dare to call you."
Jiang Shuyue's eyes relaxed: "Isn't the Chinese New Year only a month away? I'm waiting for the year-end bonus to be paid out, and I'll ask you to buy down jackets for my parents and my two sisters. Also, the last time we met, I was in a hurry and didn't have time to ask you, are you doing well?"
Jiang Shuya held her hand and said, "I'm doing well, Third Sister, don't worry. Feel free to come to me when you want to buy a down jacket. I'll ask someone to get you a lower price." Then she tilted her face and asked in a low voice, "Third Sister, I have a question for you! Do you still like Senior Lin all these years?"
Her words were like a mouthful of rice cake blocking her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe freely. Jiang Shuyue stared at her curious eyes and said in a low voice, "Did he look for you?"
Jiang Shuya said mischievously, "He invited me to a concert last time. The classical music in that concert was all his mother's work. The music was really beautiful. If you like it, let's go to the concert next time the Grand Theater has one."
Jiang Shuyue: "Xiaoya, last time you said you didn't have a husband, did you divorce your husband? Or were you just saying that in anger?"
Jiang Shuya shook her head. "It's not just an angry remark. He and I are really going to divorce. He is on the ship and hasn't come back yet. I have made an appointment with him to go through the divorce procedures when he comes back. He agrees."
Jiang Shuya didn't want to talk about the betrothal gift, that was her biggest problem. Her main goal now was to save up enough money so that she could leave with confidence. She didn't want to live without dignity and be trampled on by him at will.
At this time, Jiang Shuyue kept imagining Lin Moxiao and Jiang Shuya together in her mind. She knew that there was no possibility for her and Lin Moxiao. When she found out that Lin Moxiao still asked her to watch a musical even though he knew that Jiang Shuya was married, the inexplicable pain in her heart kept rising, making her sad and upset again.
She didn't expect Lin Moxiao to be so stubborn. She suspected that he was paranoid about not getting what he wanted, or that he wanted revenge. She said in a trembling voice:
"Have you ever thought about what to do after your divorce? Will you consider someone else, like remarrying?"
Jiang Shuya stretched out her hands and said, "Stop. I just want to live a good life with Tangtang, not rely on men, and be a valuable person myself."
Jiang Shuyue didn't believe it: "If someone doesn't care that you have a child, is divorced, and loves you deeply, you won't consider it."
Jiang Shuya: "Third sister, are you going to interrogate me today? I admit that I was willful once and suffered a heavy price. I deserved it and I deserved it for not listening to advice. So I suggest that you must see clearly before getting married. Don't look for someone you love. You must consider how much that person is willing to pay for you and whether he is reliable."
