Chapter 279 It's good to be divorced
With her words, Old Lady Wei Shufen set the tone for the matter. Liu Lishi wanted to waile a bit, but after glancing at Chen Dong's ambiguous gaze as he stood by supporting the old lady, she didn't dare to make a sound.
Seeing this, Fang Songmao knew that things were hopeless and sighed. At this moment, Chen Zaiguang also rushed back from the factory. When he arrived, the onlookers automatically made way for him.
Upon seeing Liu Guomin again after a year, Chen Zaiguang struggled to suppress the urge to punch him and said, "You're in a real hurry! My sister's only been back for less than three days, and you're already rushing to the Civil Affairs Bureau to urge us to get a divorce!"
Liu Guomin wanted to say that he was not there to divorce Chen Lianxiang, but to take her back to continue their life together. However, since the old lady Wei Shufen had already said what she wanted to say and Chen Xiangui, the father-in-law, had also said what he wanted to say, there was no going back. So he just stood there silently.
"Eldest son, you've come at the right time. You and the fourth son, along with the others, drive Lianxiang and Guomin to the county civil affairs bureau. Let's get them divorced today," Chen Xiangui said, looking at his eldest son, Chen Zaiguang, and then to Tian Chulian. "Secretary Tian, could you please go and get a certificate now so we can transfer Lianxiang's household registration back later?"
"good!"
Chen Zailong sidled up to his older brother, Chen Zaiguang, and asked, "Brother, it's Sunday today, the Civil Affairs Bureau is probably closed, right? How about we go tomorrow?"
"It's alright, Fourth Brother. I'll call Director Zhao at the Civil Affairs Bureau," Chen Zaixing smiled, borrowed a mobile phone from his eldest brother Chen Zaiguang, and dialed Director Zhao's home number. The phone rang for a while before being answered. "Who is this?"
A woman answered the phone. Chen Zaixing guessed she was Director Zhao's wife, so he said, "Is Director Zhao home? This is Chen Zaixing from Huaxingsheng. I need to speak with Director Zhao about something. Is it convenient for you to take this call?"
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone before a man answered, "Boss Chen, what's up?"
"Director Zhao, I hope I didn't disturb your rest by calling you on your day off?" Chen Zaixing didn't get straight to the point. Instead, he exchanged a few pleasantries with Director Zhao before saying, "It's like this, Director Zhao, my sister wants to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau today to take care of some things. I was wondering if it's convenient for you there, and if you could make an exception?"
"What's the matter? Why the rush?" Director Zhao thought it was about marriage registration or something, and was about to offer some congratulations, but Chen Zaixing suddenly said the word "divorce," making Director Zhao swallow back the celebratory words he wanted to say.
"Divorce! Mr. Chen, divorce is a big deal. Why don't you reconsider? After all, it's a major life decision," Director Zhao thought, wanting to offer some advice. The Chen family had Chen Dong, an overseas tycoon, who was now the economic backbone of the entire Nanshan County. Director Zhao had to curry favor with them.
Chen Zaixing smiled. "No need to think about it anymore. My sister has been in America for a year, and she just came back from New York a couple of days ago. She just wanted to get things done and put an end to this worry. Director Zhao, please help her out!"
Director Zhao didn't want to pry into other people's private affairs. Since Chen Zaixing said he had thought it through, it wouldn't be a big deal to help send one or two people over for temporary overtime. So he said, "Okay, Boss Chen, I'll send someone over for temporary overtime right away. You can just go directly there. Do you need me to come too?"
"No need to trouble you, Director Zhao. I'm already feeling bad for troubling you today, it's my day off. How could I trouble you to make the trip? I'll treat you to dinner another day!"
"Alright, then please give my regards to Mr. Zai Dong!"
"Okay, I'll definitely deliver it. Okay, bye, Director Zhao," Chen Zaixing said, handing the cell phone back to Chen Zaiguang with a relaxed and relieved expression. "Alright, we can just go to the Civil Affairs Bureau. There are people there."
Tian Chulian stood next to Chen Zaixing and listened to the whole phone call between him and Director Zhao of the Civil Affairs Bureau. He sighed inwardly, thinking that Chen Zaixing, who used to be a troublemaker in the village, was now a well-connected person in the county!
One phone call and the people at the Civil Affairs Bureau had to work overtime for his sister. I bet the person who was notified to work overtime is cursing.
Xiao Lin and Xiao Li, who were suddenly notified to work overtime at the Civil Affairs Bureau, were indeed cursing. Only the two of them were left living in the Civil Affairs Bureau's dormitory. The security guard opened the door, and the two of them sat in the lobby waiting for the director to say who was coming to handle business. They wondered who was so arrogant as to come on Sunday, when everyone was off.
Two Mercedes-Benz 450s, one black and one silver, drove into the Civil Affairs Bureau compound. Fang Songmao, who had come with them, nudged Liu Guomin, who was still lost in thought, and Liu Guomin finally snapped out of it.
They first went to the Liu family's place in Shangzhai. After Liu Guomin dawdled and finally got his household registration book, the two Mercedes-Benz cars stopped in front of the Shangzhai Village Committee office. When the villagers of Shangzhai saw Liu Guomin and Fang Songmao get out of the cars, they assumed that the Liu family had reconciled with the Chen family.
Some people, eager to curry favor, followed behind Liu Guomin and Fang Songmao, asking, "Guomin, why didn't your wife Lianxiang come back with you?"
"Yes, Guomin, why don't you invite your brothers-in-law over for a chat and some tea?"
"Guomin, you're definitely going to prosper along with the Chen family from now on. Don't forget me, we grew up picking up cow dung naked!"
Liu Guomin's face turned red with embarrassment. He wanted to yell, but felt too ashamed to say the word "divorce." Fang Songmao smiled wryly and waved to the fawning crowd, "Don't follow us, everyone. We have things to do and need to go to the county!"
"What are you going to the county for, Songmao? Did Guomin's brother-in-law arrange a job for him?"
"Songmao, you've got a job too, haven't you? Look at how happy you are, you definitely have! Help me put in a good word and ask the Chen family to give us a few more job openings in Shangzhai!"
"Yes, Guomin, we're all from the same village, and we even share the same surname. You can't forget about us, your relatives, once you've become successful!"
"roll!"
Liu Guomin finally lost his temper and roared at the onlookers, "Get out of here! I'm going to the county civil affairs bureau to divorce Chen Lianxiang!"
Fang Songmao covered his face. His brother-in-law still couldn't hold back. How could he say it in public like that? He had completely humiliated himself. Before long, everyone in Shangzhai would probably know about it.
Upon hearing that Liu Guomin had gone to the county's civil affairs bureau to get a divorce, some people showed a slight smile, not obvious, but Liu Guomin still noticed it. His face turned ashen, and he turned and walked home.
There are always people who can't stand to see you doing well, especially with Liu Lishi, that troublemaker, in the Liu family. When the people of Shangzhai Village found out that Chen Lianxiang's family had become successful, some of them secretly made sarcastic remarks, saying that if someone like Liu Lishi became rich and powerful, who knows how arrogant and domineering she would be in the village. It's really a shame that God has no eyes!
Unexpectedly, the Chen family isn't stupid. Hehe! It's good that they're divorced!
