Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 485 In the end, it's just that he wasn't ruthless enough.

Lu Qiaoge glanced at the eggs in the basket and estimated that it would be enough for her sister-in-law to eat for a while.

Just then, someone called out to her from behind: "Qiao Ge, Qiao Ge, wait for me!"

Lu Qiaoge got off her bicycle, stood by the roadside, and looked back. She saw a middle-aged woman riding a bicycle hurriedly toward her.

This person is Sister Lu from the factory office.

Lu Qiaoge greeted her with a smile, "Sister Lu, did you need something?"

Sister Lu got out of the car and looked back at the intersection one last time.

Lu Qiaoge looked in the same direction as her, but had no idea what Sister Lu was looking at.

Sister Lu frowned and said, "Qiao Ge, did you hear those two talking when you passed by just now?"

Oh, so that's why.

Lu Qiaoge nodded knowingly and said, "Yes, I heard that."

"Don't take what those two said to heart."

Although Lu Qiaoge was a little surprised that Sister Lu was telling her all this, she still nodded obediently: "Don't worry, Sister Lu, I won't take it to heart."

"That's good. Qiao Ge, I came all this way specifically to tell you that these two people are problematic."

The woman with short hair is Old Chen's wife, whom he married last year. She's the other woman.

Of course, Old Chen wasn't a good person either.

Old Chen's first wife had three children with him: two girls and a boy. The eldest is in junior high school, and the youngest is in elementary school.

Old Chen's first wife had a particularly good personality. She was the older woman who used to cook in the cafeteria. You should have seen her. She had a long braid, a round face, and two dimples when she smiled. She was a great cook, had a good personality, got along well with her colleagues, and managed everything at home and outside.

As a result, Old Chen insisted on getting a divorce, and the organization even tried to persuade him, but the divorce was finalized in less than a month.

Old Chen married the short-haired woman a month later.

Prior to this, many people had seen them frequently going to and from get off work together, and even watching movies together.

After a pause, Sister Lu continued, "Old Chen's ex-wife took their eldest daughter with her, while their second daughter and youngest son stayed with Old Chen. It's not that our organization doesn't care, but alas, it's a pity that Old Chen's ex-wife doesn't say anything. We still don't know why they divorced or what that third party did."

Lu Qiaoge frowned.

Is this what they call a guilty conscience?
Sister Lu said, "The other woman, in our words, is a 'jerk.' I don't know why, but she just can't stand her sister-in-law, and her mother is the same way. The two of them gang up on people."

They're from the Qianjin Subdistrict Office; you wouldn't recognize them. The Subdistrict Office did criticize her, but she didn't take it to heart. She even said she didn't hit or yell at anyone; she just pointed out some shortcomings in her sister-in-law's life. How did that become her criticizing and instigating their divorce?

Fortunately, that young wife was quite capable, but even so, life was still frustrating.

Do they live together?

"The young wife naturally lives with her parents-in-law, but she can't resist her older sister-in-law going back to her parents' home for lunch every day."

"Our houses aren't finished yet, are they? I reckon these problems will be solved once they're built."

Lu Qiaoge sighed: "Then this life must be miserable enough."

The whole family lives together, and the eldest sister-in-law goes back to her parents' house for lunch every day.

Even without physical or verbal abuse, the mental torment from being constantly criticized and nitpicked is still quite severe.

Lu Qiaoge had encountered this kind of person before.

For example: A young wife cooks millet porridge and boils eggs in the morning, but a picky person criticizes her for not making poached eggs but boiling eggs instead.
If the young wife makes poached eggs, she'll ask why she didn't make egg pancakes. So she's really nitpicking.

Living with someone like that means you either have enough power to suppress them and silence them, or you have to endure this disgusting torment.

Many times, even Lu Qiaoge couldn't control such matters.

After telling her all this, Sister Lu patted Lu Qiaoge on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Qiaoge, you are a promising young cadre in our factory. Once someone becomes outstanding, there will definitely be people who are jealous and gossip, so don't take it to heart."

Lu Qiaoge nodded. So that's what Sister Lu was worried about.

Lu Qiaoge thanked Sister Lu.

Sister Lu waved to Lu Qiaoge with a smile and said, "Oh dear, I should go home and cook then."

I hurriedly rode my bicycle home.

Although Sister Lu saw it and felt it was wrong to ignore it, she also had her own selfish motives.

It wouldn't hurt to take this opportunity to get acquainted with Director Lu.

Besides, she already disliked those two women.

One is a destroyer of a family, and the other is a busybody.

And coincidentally, she overheard what the two were saying.

She had considered criticizing the two people to their faces. After all, she was two grades above them.

But after thinking about it, if I were to give those two a harsh scolding, given their personalities, they would inevitably drag Qiao Ge into it.

It was just a few words; there was no need for such a confrontation. That's why Sister Lu went after Lu Qiaoge to tell her about the two of them.

Although Lu Qiaoge wouldn't take these words to heart, she appreciated Sister Lu's kindness.

I'm quite curious, how did Old Chen's ex-wife agree to the divorce?

If we don't hit or scold them... they might end up like Lin Junfeng, threatening to kill themselves.

Lu Qiaoge gave a cold laugh.

If it were her, she would just tell him to go die. If he dies, she'll become a widow, and maybe her life will be easier.

Ultimately, it's just that they weren't ruthless enough.

Thinking of this, Lu Qiaoge thought of Tan Ying.

She came to the last meeting and seemed to be in good spirits.

The materials being acquired now also include reed stalks—there's a large swamp to the east where there are special reeds, and the reed stalk craft factories also buy them.

However, this purchasing point is different from the one in Guzitun Brigade; the purchasing point in Shangen Brigade only had Tan Ying. Now she has been given a job opening, which is under the jurisdiction of the arts and crafts factory branch, and there are no days off.

However, Tan Ying doesn't need to rest; she wants to go to work every day.
-
After lunch, Lu Qiaoge didn't take a nap. She went to her workplace first and told Meng Qingshan that she was going to the Shangen Brigade.

Then he also told Meng Qingshan: "The factory will send down a deputy factory director. He is a college graduate and is quite outstanding in all aspects. He will be on duty in a week."

Meng Qingshan clenched his fist, but still said honestly, "Factory Director, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate well with him."

Lu Qiaoge smiled and said, "Don't worry, just do it the same way you did before. Although we're learning from each other, our management model is relatively mature now, especially at this stage, so it's not suitable to make unnecessary changes."
