Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 395 No Need to Break Off Ties

Aunt Feng calmed down. She was touched, but this wasn't the time to say thank you. She told Lu Qiaoge to rest, and she and Shao Le and the others tidied up.

Lu Qiaoge happened to have something to say to Zhang Huixin.

So I pulled her to sit down beside me.

In this season, as long as it doesn't rain, the nights in the south are very comfortable, especially where Lu Qiaoge is, there aren't even mosquitoes.

Zhang Huixin said to her with a choked voice, "Qiao Ge, you've all come all this way, you must be tired."

Her heart was in turmoil. She had so much to say to her family, but seeing how travel-worn they looked, she couldn't say a word.

Lu Qiaoge didn't beat around the bush and asked directly in a gentle voice, "Sister Zhang, we came here today because of your matter. Of course, we also mainly want to know what you think. What do you plan to do now?"

Zhang Huixin touched her belly and said with a bitter smile, "What can I do? Even if I go home, I'll still be a burden to my mother and my younger brother."

Lu Qiaoge: "Don't think about the burden or not for now. Since Aunt Feng has reported it to the organization, she is mentally prepared, and we will definitely see it through to the end. Just tell us your current thoughts."

Zhang Huixin was taken aback when she heard this. Looking at Lu Qiaoge's bright eyes under the oil lamp, she didn't know why her anxious heart gradually calmed down.

She clenched her hands, her voice hoarse, and said, "I...can I divorce Fan Tianbao?"

"Why not?"

“I…I’m worried he won’t agree and will hurt my mom and my brother, and maybe even you. He’s ruthless and skilled at manipulating snakes…”

Lu Qiaoge waved her hand: "Don't think about that. We're already here, so obviously these aren't problems. Just tell me, was your divorce a spur-of-the-moment decision, or something you've been thinking about for a long time?"

Zhang Huixin glanced at her mother, who was busy clearing the dishes, and said in a suppressed voice with regret: "I got married on impulse back then. After marrying Fan Tianbao, I realized that divorce is not as easy as I thought, and marriage is not so simple. You can't just get married and divorced whenever you want."

The situation here is that if a man doesn't want a woman anymore, he can dump her without hesitation. But if a woman wants a divorce and the man doesn't agree, she can forget about it for the rest of her life.

A married woman is nothing more than an object, except for bearing sons. Even if you are more capable than him and you are the one supporting the family, the power still lies with the man.

He can scold you if he wants, hit you if he wants, and leave you with no recourse if he wants to. But if you want a divorce and he doesn't agree, the woman may only have one option: death.

Even the organization didn't support me. I went to the commune but no one supported me. The commune clerk even sent me back to the Fan family.

I haven't been able to leave the house since then, and the Fan family is very sexist, so if I don't give birth to a son, they'll torture me to death.

These days are too painful. If it weren't for my concern for my mother, my sister, and my brother, I would have committed suicide long ago.

Zhang Huixin's voice was soft, and she didn't dare let Aunt Feng hear it, but this was what she was thinking at the moment. She couldn't even say it to her mother, but she could say it so easily to Lu Qiaoge. Her mother had just said that Qiaoge was the most outstanding cadre in the street office and had a strong ability to solve problems. She had also seen it just now; a few words from her had made Village Chief Li force the old woman to shut up.

She planned to fake fainting so she could get down the mountain.

But this method was never used.

Lu Qiaoge reached out and patted the back of her hand, comforting her, "Since that's the case, leave everything to me, and I'll try my best to make sure you break up cleanly."

"Really?" Zhang Huixin asked, her eyes sparkling.

“Really!” After a pause, Lu Qiaoge continued, “What if Fan Tianbao disagrees, or threatens or begs you, what will you do?”

"Oh right, what if Grandma Fan comes to cause you trouble or even kneels down and begs you for help?"

Zhang Huixin gritted her teeth: "If I'm going to break ties with them and they won't let me have a good life, then nobody will have a good life either!" Lu Qiaoge laughed: "No need to break ties. I'll tell you what to do then..."

Lu Qiaoge leaned closer to Zhang Huixin and whispered a few words to her.

Zhang Huixin looked at Lu Qiaoge in disbelief.

Lu Qiaoge nodded to her, then said, "Sister Zhang, get some rest!"

Zhang Huixin didn't dare to press Lu Qiaoge for answers. At this moment, Lu Qiaoge was already smiling and talking to Vice President Zhang about how to develop sideline businesses in rural areas.

There were no conflicts or antagonisms. The local village chief and deputy head of the commune did not protect the locals from hostility. At this moment, they all kindly assured Lu Qiaoge that no matter what, their Zhangshu Commune would guarantee fairness and impartiality.

Xiao Gu thought to himself, "That's real skill."

At this moment, the mountains and forests were pitch black without a single ray of light. The distant peaks and the nearby trees seemed like demons lurking in the night, ready to pounce and take lives at any moment.

Fan Tianbao had no idea where the green snake had dragged him to.

But the green snake didn't leave. When he got up, he couldn't tell which way was which. But it was too dangerous here. If the big thing saw him, he would be finished.

But just as he was about to lift his leg, the green snake pounced at him in a flash. What was terrifying was that there were two other things nearby, which seemed to be small birds gently landing on his shoulders.

In the darkness of night, there was no light in the distance, but before him stood the sinister eyes of the divine serpent.

It's terrifying to look at.

Moreover, there are eyes nearby, which, although not sinister, still look quite frightening.

Fan Tianbao knelt down, begged and pleaded, and made countless wishes, but the Green Snake remained unmoved.

And so, he stayed up all night, not even allowed to sleep, not knowing what he had done to offend the Green Snake.

Trying to catch it is impossible.

He was almost bitten to death by it before, and it was only after he begged it that he discovered that this snake was intelligent and could understand human speech.

As the first rays of dawn appeared on the horizon, Village Chief Li and his men arrived at the brigade headquarters carrying steamed vegetable buns and rice porridge.

Most people slept at the brigade headquarters yesterday.

Vice President Wang and the clerk originally wanted to go to his house, but they didn't, and instead spent the night at the brigade headquarters.

The temperature is neither too hot nor too cold; it's manageable as long as you have luggage.

When Zhang Huixin woke up in the morning, she realized that she had really gone down the mountain, really seen her family, and everything had gone smoothly.

Moreover, Village Chief Li, the head of Dagu Creek who favored sons over daughters and liked to incite villagers to fight against outsiders, had a smile on his face and didn't seem unhappy at all.

Perhaps it was because of Vice Director Wang, but she knew about Vice Director Wang. After returning from the commune last time, she realized that these people were all in cahoots. She was a woman, Fan Tianbao's wife, his personal property, and her life and death were decided by the Fan family. Even in this era, they still held this view.

They looked down on women, and the Women's Federation in Zhangshu Commune was just a figurehead. What good was the Women's Federation director? She would still be beaten black and blue by her husband and mother-in-law before going to work.
