Rebirth 78: Hunting for Treasure in the Mountains, Spoiling My Wife and Daughter to the Heavens

"What's going on? Isn't that the tofu seller from outside our school? How come she's living at Teacher Wang's house?"

"Wasn't Teacher Li cheating on her boyfriend? What's going on between them?"

"You don't know, do you? I noticed something was off between Lao Liu and that tofu seller a while ago. But that tofu seller tastes so good, hahaha, who could resist?"

"What? You've been there too?"

"Those who share the same path, all those who share the same path."

"..."

In an instant, everyone in the entire tenement building started talking about it.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Rumors spread even faster, and by the time work started, almost all the school staff living in the dormitory building knew about it.

The result can be imagined.

All the male teachers in the school got excited, constantly tugging at their clothes and pants, thinking they should hurry up and tear them so they could go to Wang Guidian's place to find the tofu seller to sew them up.

Wang Guidian sighed as he listened to the discussions outside.

The scars on his face made him afraid to go out at this moment, but after all, he needed to get a divorce to retrieve the family's household registration.

Put on a hat and the thickest coat, ignoring the stares of others, and rode off as if escaping.

He used to be the undisputed authority in the tenement building.

He has money in his pocket, no children at home, and his wife lets him not spend money on drinking.

Everyone who sees him calls him Brother Wang.

But from today onwards, this back will never be able to straighten up in the tenement building for the rest of its life.

He had been so preoccupied with messing around with Sun Guihua that he only heard so many rumors about her now.

A fellow traveler?

Which fellow traveler?

Wang Guidian's hometown is also located in a large compound.

Both parents work, and the father is a former school leader.

However, he moved into the house allocated to his mother's family because they needed to provide him with a separate room.

These days, everyone is carefully calculating their housing allocation quotas.

Within reasonable limits, gain more benefits.

Of course, many working families do this.

This is also one of the reasons why workers in Northeast China were highly sought after in those days, and why even later generations considered having a government-affiliated job an important factor.

It was just getting light. The residents here are mostly retired workers. The water is too cold, and they don't have the habit of getting up this early.

When he pushed open the door and entered the house, Wang's father had already gotten up and was sitting inside reading a book, while his mother was sitting on the stove knitting a sweater according to the book.

The sweater was made with the latest stitches, and its size clearly indicated it was knitted for a child.

Wang Guidian stood at the door, his face bruised and swollen, almost unrecognizable.

Her eyes were so swollen they were barely open, and she was missing several teeth. When she pursed her lips, she looked like a toothless old woman.

The rest of the body is fine, just swollen.

The fire in the stove inside wasn't very strong. The old lady, wearing her reading glasses, turned her head to look at the person who had come in.

When he realized that the person who came was his precious son, he stood up abruptly.

He grabbed Wang Guidian and dragged him to the fireside, gently pressing his hand against the wounds on Wang's face, his voice urgent and shrill: "Old man! Come out here!! Look at your son!"

My dear son, what happened to you? Who hit you? Was it Xiuhe? That was too harsh!

Wang Guidian abruptly pulled away from Wang Mu's hand and plopped down on the bench.

With his head down and a look of frustration, he took several deep breaths before saying, "Mom and Dad, I'm getting a divorce from Li Xiuhe."

Wang Guidian's parents had him late in life and spoiled him.

In this day and age, the value of being an only child is self-evident.

They treated it like a precious treasure, afraid of dropping it.

I'm afraid it will melt if I hold it in my mouth.

She was spoiled rotten from a young age.

But upon hearing about divorce, this couple, who were already rare "highly educated" people in this era, immediately became anxious.

"Divorce? Why do you want a divorce? Do you know what divorce means? If you get a divorce, even if your father dies, you won't be able to hold your head up in front of our ancestors!"

"Just because she hit you? Come on! I'll take you to her. Hitting someone in the face is normal, it's just playful bickering between husband and wife!"

The older generation doesn't value divorce.

It means that if a couple can't make it work, as long as they haven't made any political mistakes, it's for life.

"It's not because of that, it's... it's because of her... she's having an affair, I..." Wang Guidian looked at his parents' murderous eyes and suddenly didn't dare to tell the truth.

"What?! That unfaithful bitch! Her parents are both teachers, and this is how they raise their child?! I'm going to find her! Let's go, right now!"

The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this. In their time, a woman who did not uphold the proper conduct of a wife would be drowned in a pig cage.

Even in this situation, it would be an unforgivable mistake.

Parading through the streets is no longer common.

It's possible to bring something back to school and have it scorned by teachers and students.

Teachers care a lot about their reputation; let's see how she'll face people after this.

"Mom, no need. Let's get a divorce, let's just get a divorce..."

Wang Guidian dared not let his parents go to Li Xiuhe.

"What! You're still protecting that bitch at a time like this? I told you, you're too soft-hearted. Oh, your grandpa always said you'd be controlled by women for the rest of your life."

How could the Queen Mother possibly see her son in such a state?

"Wait a minute! Don't you know what kind of person your son is? Is he the kind of person who can take a loss lying down? Make him explain what really happened, so you don't embarrass yourself twice more."

Wang's father put down the book, read the entire passage, and then came out of the house.

A father understands his son, and a man understands another man.

Wang's father knew that there were definitely other things he hadn't mentioned.

"Father, I..."

"Just tell me what happened, and it'll be over."

The older generation has no insurmountable problems. Hearing his father say this, Wang Guidian lowered his head and dared to whisper the rest of the story.

"I...I also cheated, and...Xiuhe's cheating was orchestrated by me..."

Wang Guidian didn't dare to say anything bad about Sun Guihua, after all, he couldn't get rid of her.

If his parents also dislike her, he will be caught in the middle and in a difficult position.

Another reason was that he was also quite timid, afraid that if he revealed Sun Guihua's personality, his parents would beat him to death.

"You!! Oh my god, what can I say about you? How could anyone do such a thing? Xiuhe is such a good person. People just can't resist temptation and tests. I've told you so many times!"

Regardless of whether you two have children or not, and regardless of what illness Xiuhe has, you two should just live your lives well. If it really doesn't work out, you can adopt one.

Our Wang family has no money, no inheritance, we just want you two to have someone to take care of you in your old age. You know... oh dear."

The Queen Mother sat down heavily on the ground, utterly bewildered as to how someone could do such a thing.

The father slammed the book to the ground with a bang.

Pointing at Wang Guidian, his lips trembled, and the wrinkles on his face shook back and forth. After holding back for a long time, he pointed at the Queen Mother on the ground and said, "It's all because you spoiled her!!"

"Let's get a divorce. It's okay. I... I made a mistake. I'll marry that young widow after the divorce. Mom and Dad, I'll live a good life from now on."
