Chapter 15 two friends
The divorce case between Wang Yucai and his wife Qiuchan is still pending in the file of Judge Zhao in the civil court.This protracted case has been going on for five years.Wang Yucai, Qiuchan, and their relatives and friends were exhausted by the lawsuit, but they couldn't stop.
In the past five years, Wang Yucai sued three times, and was judged not to grant divorce by Judge Zhao three times.According to the current rules of the civil court, once the ruling is not to grant a divorce, if you want to sue again, you must have a new reason and it must be half a year later.Reasons can always be found, but time cannot be accommodated, and no matter how hard it is, it will take more than half a year, six months, and more than 180 days and nights.The civil court also stipulates that if both parties or one party in the divorce ignore the judgment and file an appeal and the higher court rejects and upholds the original judgment, the time limit for filing a lawsuit should be one year later in addition to more sufficient reasons.This happened to Wang Yucai when he sued for the second time, and it took a whole year to bring the old case to the civil court again for the third time.Now, he has made all the preparations for the fourth prosecution, the main one is of course the pleadings, and he has spent more effort in excluding relatives and friends than in the last three times.
When Wang Yucai walked into the small courtyard of the Civil Court of Sangshu Town with the black leather bag containing the divorce petition, he happened to meet Judge Zhao who was in a hurry to go to the bathroom.Judge Zhao just slowed down his pace and said without stopping, "The regular customer is here again." Wang Yucai smiled wryly and said, "I can't live a good life if I don't come." Then he pretended to be careless and said, "If you I'm bored, just give me a divorce, and I won't bother you anymore." Judge Zhao has already walked to the toilet door in the corner of the small courtyard, subconsciously unbuttoned his trousers with one hand, turned around and smiled : "Don't bother, don't bother, I don't bother, I eat this bowl of troublesome rice! You have only sued four times, which is nothing. In a divorce case that I handed down, the man sued eleven times. Seven years. Your four or five times are just general records."
Wang Yucai became dumb when he heard this, as if he had been ordered by a Zen master with boundless spells to fix his body, he stood there with his hands and feet frozen.
Tiu Chan had just pulled back a cart full of corn stalks with a wheelbarrow, sweating all over her face, untied the tied leather ropes, and then piled up the dry corn stalks in the yard.A little daughter-in-law next door who was holding a baby was half-naked, and while breastfeeding the baby, she said: "Sister-in-law, what are you doing with that bag of grain stalks now? If I were you, you wouldn't even grow wheat." Qiu Chan smiled and continued Unload the grain stalks on the cart.She has heard too many words like this and doesn't bother to explain.She went to the chicken farm to buy chickens, and women and even men said, "Tiu Chan, why are you still buying those fluffy things?" When she went to sell eggs, people said, "Tiu Chan, what are you doing now?" Still selling eggs? You should eat eggs!" Everyone said she shouldn't do what she did.You should eat well, sleep well, go shopping, eat well, sleep well, shop well, and enjoy yourself.The self-evident reason for this is that her man has made a lot of money now, so much money that the neighbors in the village can't guess the amount, in short, it is a lot.Why does Ticicada bother to sell eggs by basket by basket and haul grain stalks by cart by cart?Although Qiu Chan knows exactly how much money she has saved, she is definitely not as powerful as people have been rumoring, but she has indeed saved thousands of dollars in savings.In any case, while she felt the pressure of being famous, she also felt the pleasure of being envied.As of now, she has no plans to eat, sleep or go shopping.She continued to carefully raise chickens, gritted her teeth and sold eggs, and continued to pull corn stalks as firewood, which not only saved the cost of buying coal, but also heated the kang.Yucai bought her an electric mattress and she locked it in a box and didn't use it.People say that they are afraid of getting an electric shock and that they will not sleep well, but in fact they are afraid of spending electricity bills.The electricity bill is charged at 20.2 cents by the public and 35 cents by the electrician in the village.The electrician raises the electricity bill privately and confidently: "Nowadays, from a small needle to the size of a color TV, which price has not increased by a few pounds? If there is no price increase, there is only a conscience, but the price has dropped. I don't care if the price of electricity does not increase. Tell me to drink the wind and eat the fart?" Qiu Chan pulled the corn stalks with all her strength, saving coal and electricity, no matter how expensive you are, it will not be worth it, so I don't need to buy it.
There was still a bag of grain stalks left in the car, and her eldest son, Xiaoqiang, came back from school by bicycle and stuffed a yellow leather envelope into her hand.Seeing that the signature was actually the red letters of the Civil Court of Sangshu Town, she couldn't help but frowned. An ominous shadow immediately filled her heart, and her fingers trembling nervously as she tore open the envelope.The letter was a printed one-page summons notice, asking her to appear in the court of Sangshu Town in the future. Her husband Wang Yucai proposed to divorce her, and he had already appealed to the civil court of Sangshu Town.
It is not too much to say that it was a bolt from the blue.After reading the notification, Qiu Chan saw darkness in front of her eyes and almost fell down, a nauseating turbidity rose from her abdomen and rushed to her throat, where it was blocked.Her son Xiaoqiang held the car with one hand and his mother with the other, screaming in fright.The little daughter-in-law who was breastfeeding the baby ran over, helped her while looking at the letter skin and letter that fell on the ground, and never said that sister-in-law shouldn't be joking about bagging rice stalks.Tiu Chan no longer had the strength to unload the last bag of grain stalks from the cart, so she struggled to walk home, threw herself on the kang and began to howl.She felt humiliated and wronged.She didn't have the slightest mental preparation, and couldn't bear the blow like a bolt from the blue.She was knocked unconscious with one stroke of the most unfortunate domestic disaster.Now she can't sort out the ins and outs of this sudden disaster at all, she just feels that she has reached the end of her life, the ninety-nine suns and ninety-nine moons shining on her are all extinguished in an instant, and before her eyes is a night that will never return.Her mind was filled with darkness and confusion.Her chest was suddenly full of bad breath and could not be excreted, which caused her to hold her breath several times. Fortunately, the women in the next door poked her cold fingers with needles and pricked the base of her nose, which was sweating coldly, and she was able to recover. angry.In an instant the gray atmosphere of chaos and dilapidation permeated the back rooms and courtyards of this enviable family.
Grandfather and grandma walked into the small courtyard of their daughter-in-law when it was dark.The old couple went to the mill in the afternoon, and there was no idler in the rumbling mill room to deliver the news.When he was walking home with a layer of white flour on his hair and clothes, he was pushed home by a bag of flour. Immediately, a well-meaning neighbor informed him of the accident at his daughter-in-law Qiuchan’s house, and the old man ran away without dusting off the flour. Here it comes, the woman rushes over with a pair of rare little feet.Grandma has an idea: "Don't cry! Qiu Chan. He left if he wanted a divorce? It's all up to him? If he wants a divorce, he must bury me first! Don't ask me to go during the courtroom, let him tell me this How can a marriage be divorced..." Grandpa sat on a chair, smoking a cigarette, neither persuading nor sighing.After the women left one after another, the grandfather said: "Don't panic, there is always a reason for things. I will call him back tomorrow and ask him to explain to me first." Speaking of this, the old man suddenly thought of , I don't even know where my son Yucai lives.He asked his daughter-in-law Qiu Chan and she didn't know.His son made a fortune in Xi'an, but they were never invited by his son to be guests. When they needed to find him in an emergency, they couldn't figure out his work unit and address.At this moment, the mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandfather thought of one person, Wang Yimin, almost at the same time.Wang Yimin is a good friend of his son Yucai, and he knows much more about Yucai than his parents and wife.So Weng, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law immediately unified their actions: go to Wang Yimin immediately.
Wang Yimin is the director of education at the primary school in the village. He lives in the school at night. The old man Wang Zijie found his home and then the school. Why did he give birth to six fingers? The peaceful and peaceful life was turned upside down in one fell swoop! You lead me to find him tomorrow, and I will only tell him to kill me first before going for a divorce. Tomorrow is one day, Yimin, no matter what you say, you have to take time off and take me to find that stupid thing..." Wang Yimin was also shocked, but it was far less intense than the old man Zijie.In fact, he had a premonition or mental preparation for a long time, and what happened today is just a confirmation of a premonition before.Still, he showed a natural shock.He first comforted the furious old man, and then immediately promised to go to Yucai tomorrow, no matter what he was busy with, he would have to drag him back to see his father and explain the truth.If I come down again, I will persuade the old man not to go in person. Once the words are not good, Yucai pulls up his bow and does not go home. It will be even worse... The old man Zijie listened to Yimin's calm and reasonable advice with complete trust, and put the most important points to heart Leave matters of the heart to Yimin to handle.
Wang Yimin left the school early the next morning.He was ready to find someone so he rode his bike into town instead of taking the bus.The fields in early winter have shown the austerity and coldness of winter.The root of all the changes may have started when Yucai left school.Yucai was lured by a high school classmate to start a company. He wrote a report to the township government on suspension of pay and stayed at work, and then went to work as an accountant in a company founded by his old classmate.During the winter vacation of that year, Wang Yucai knocked on his door in the middle of the night, saying that his wife and sister could not stay in the house and asked for the key to his school office.The next day he went to school to chat with him, but he was nowhere to be found, nor did he leave the key.He found Yucai's house again, and Qiuchan opened his eyes wide and said that not only did no girl come to the house, but also Yucai was not seen.Wang Yimin began to feel suspicious.He thought it would be his turn to guard the school if Yucai couldn't get the key, so he broke the lock and entered the door.He saw cigarette butts with handles all over the floor, sugar wrapper pastry boxes and drink cans, and there was a stain on the crumpled bed sheet, which was the remains of a man's excrement, which was disgusting to see.Judging from the pile of phlegm that hadn't dried up on the ground, Wang Yucai was still sleeping here last night.Therefore, he was completely sure what Yucai would do with his house.It was not until the Spring Festival of this year that Wang Yu returned to Guidu King and handed him the key. He teased his old classmates angrily and said, "Leave this key to you as a souvenir! The lock has been broken and thrown away. What are the keys for?" Wang Yucai apologized again and again, saying that he forgot to return the keys, and never expected that he would fly to Guangzhou on an urgent business the next day.Wang Yimin wanted to expose this lie, but he couldn't save face, so he pretended to understand and listened to him talking about the new trends and scenes in Guangzhou.The new semester begins after the Spring Festival, an old teacher thoroughly revealed to Wang Yimin the secrets that happened in his office——
That night it was my turn to take care of the school with Teacher Xiao Liu.Director Wang, you know that the two of us are old rivals, and we couldn't get out of the chess game until three o'clock. If I wanted to take a shit, I hurried to the toilet.When I came out of the toilet and passed the door of your office, I was surprised to hear the sound of snoring inside. When did you sleep in there quietly, Director Wang?When I went back to the house, I talked to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu said that Director Wang is also a chess fan. How could he not come to watch the game and fell asleep quietly?He dragged me to find out what happened, and after listening for a while under the window at the door, he heard a woman groaning in her sleep.I ran away in fright, thinking to myself, why did Director Wang and his wife come to the school to stay overnight with the hot kang on?Teacher Xiao Liu came to me again and said that it must not be Director Wang.We have to figure out who's sleeping in it and that's the responsibility of the nursing school.So we knocked on the door.It took a long time to answer, and I didn't turn on the light for a long time.After the light came on and the door opened, it was never expected to be Teacher Wang Yucai and a woman.Who do you think that woman is?It's Lu Hong.I was too ashamed to talk to Teacher Wang Yucai.Teacher Wang Yucai is an acquaintance, which is a bit embarrassing, but he has seen the world now, and he is not as good as us "little teachers" enclosed by the four walls who are ignorant and uncivilized. The two of us smoked, and talked a lot about whether he went out on a plane or a soft sleeper. He ate more than 2,000 yuan for a table meal, and Lao Guang was stunned.We poor "little teachers" let him brag so much that we forgot what we were doing here...
Wang Yimin first told the old teacher who had already discovered it, and later told Teacher Xiao Liu to stop here and not to spread the word.He then changed the office house for himself.In that room, he stared inexplicably at the place where he found the sputum that day, and looked at the place on his bed sheet that had been washed without any traces, still unable to stop his nausea.He changed houses.He tore the sheet into strips and tied the mop.After washing and ironing the quilt, he still felt hairy inside, so he spent a lot of money to buy a quilt cover to cover the quilt.Ever since the old teacher thoroughly uncovered this secret until he completed the series of purification work, he always murmured a word in his heart: Why is this person not ashamed?
Wang Yimin and Wang Yucai have been friends since childhood, from elementary school to junior high school graduation, Wang Yimin was recommended to normal school and Wang Yucai was admitted to high school.Wang Yimin once regretted that he could only go to teach elementary school after going to a normal school and lost the opportunity to fight for higher education. However, the evolution of his life later made him very fortunate. He returned home and became a farmer.Wang Yucai's father had been a security chief for two years before liberation and was included in the dictatorship, so he naturally became the most unlucky young man in the village.The matchmakers for Wang Yimin stepped down the threshold, but Wang Yucai's house was deserted and no one came to visit him. Until Wang Yimin wanted to have a son, Wang Yucai was still alone.
Every time Wang Yimin saw Wang Yucai bowing his head, he felt very uncomfortable.He realized more and more clearly that if he didn't help him find a way, Wang Yucai's life would be finished.Just when Wang Yimin was promoted to be the director of education and had the status and opportunity to speak, he boldly recommended Wang Yucai to the commune to be a private teacher in his school.The commune actually agreed.When he told Wang Yucai the good news, Wang Yucai waved his hands repeatedly and said that he was not suitable to be a teacher at all.
It seems that it is not humility, nor is it entirely political pressure from Baochang's father. The main obstacle comes from Wang Yucai's introverted personality.Wang Yucai was shy. This man was still shy in his twenties.He never said a word in front of anyone.Several people chatted together, but he always quietly stood on the periphery or sat behind the people and listened quietly, smiling shyly.Not to mention that there are few men with such a shy look like him, even female students and young girls inspired by the spirit of rebellion cannot compare with him.His shyness is not pretended but real. In class, he was suddenly called by the teacher to answer questions. Before he stood up, he blushed. As soon as he blushed, there was a mist of shyness in his eyes. Let’s just say something up.During the long study life from elementary school initiation to high school graduation, he has changed from a slender boy to a strong man, naturally there have been many major changes, but his shyness has not diminished.His study throughout high school is an important stage for him to know himself.He was always at the top of the grade in mathematics and theory subjects, and his interest in these subjects grew stronger and stronger.He believes that he will definitely enter a prestigious university.Even so, when he was praised by the teacher and admired or even jealous by his classmates, he still shyly couldn't lift his head up.In contrast, those students who are good at learning but also arrogant and arrogant form a completely different contrast with him. Classmates and teachers prefer him to love him and get close to him, and feel that Wang Yucai's deep-rooted shyness contains charming colors .
Wang Yimin and Wang Yucai grew up playing together since they were young, and there are footprints of them accompanying each other everywhere on the hillside behind the village and the river in front of the village.In the spring, they carry the grass cages and carry the grass scythes to the slopes and river banks to cut grass. In winter, like adults, they wear ropes around their waists and carry their heads on their shoulders to dig firewood on the hillside.They searched for green grasshoppers in the thorn bushes in summer and caught crickets with more interest in autumn. For this reason, they almost leveled every thorn bush on the hillside and rummaged through every pile of bricks and rubble in the village.When they first walked out of the remote village of Guiduwang to middle school in Sangshu Town with their mothers' steamed buns mixed with white flour on their backs, they realized their friendship for the first time almost at the same time and had the desire to continue to deepen this friendship.It can be said that there is complete equality and complete trust between them.They can play together and talk together but not the other way around.One of them is the shadow of one, and the other is the sustenance of one. If one of them is of the opposite sex, then they may be Liang Zhu of Guiduwang Village and they will have the most perfect and romantic ending.Wang Yimin's mother once said to Wang Yucai's mother: "It would be great if either of them was born with one less piece of luggage." Neither of them understood the true meaning of the luggage, and later learned the meaning of it. At that time, even Wang Yimin was a little ashamed, and Wang Yucai was so ashamed that his neck turned red.
Wang Yimin thought about Wang Yucai's shyness intentionally or unconsciously more than once.Yucai's mother is honest and simple, not shy.His father had been the security chief for two years before liberation, and he naturally became the leader after liberation.Wang Yimin had no memory or impression of Uncle Bao before liberation. As long as he could remember, he only remembered Uncle Bao's fawning smile.He used to hate that smiling face very much, and Wang Yimin, a child, could also feel that nine out of ten of that smiling face was fake and forced, and only when the smile on that face faded away did it show a bit of truth.The impression is too deep, that disgusting smiling face, this strong middle-aged man sees anyone with a soft voice and flattering tone and expression, even if it is not a cadre of King Guidu but a red border A bad-eyed mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, even a child who doesn’t know how to eat and drink, will smile when he sees him, greet people from afar, and ask people like they care about other people’s daily life all day long.” Have you eaten?" That smile seemed to be Monkey King's golden cudgel in his ears and could be pulled out at any time to cover his entire eyebrows, eyes and face.But in their home, Uncle Bao didn't smile at his wife and children. From morning to night, from spring to winter, he always had a cold and stern face. Sleep silently.Few people came to this small courtyard filled with solemn and deserted atmosphere all the year round.When the children spoke loudly, Uncle Bao would yell coldly: "What are you crazy about?" The children all shrank their necks in panic and made a hoarse voice.Wang Yimin was very unaccustomed to this depressing family atmosphere. He always stood outside the courtyard of Wang Yucai's house, barking a dog or crowing a rooster, to lure Yucai out.The password had to be changed from time to time to prevent Uncle Bao from recognizing the flaw.
I remember that when Wang Yucai was recommended by him to come to the school for the first class, this talented student who was famous in the whole school faced dozens of rural children who had just entered the wearing cap middle school class. He was ten times more nervous than the students, and his face was red Standing on the podium, I don't know whether to put my hands on the podium or stick them to the seams of my trousers. The beads of sweat on my head are rolling down from small to large.His shyness and nervousness were passed on as a joke by the teachers and students of the school. The principal said to Wang Yimin worriedly: "Director Wang, even if the person you recommend has a belly full of butterflies, it will be useless if they cannot fly out!" Wang Yimin was full of confidence: "It doesn't matter, the butterfly will fly out naturally after unblocking the obstruction in the throat. The key point is that we know that there are butterflies in his stomach, so we are more reliable than those whose stomachs are full of straw and even haven't eaten much straw." The principal said. Don't hold on to anything.Wang Yucai went from being nervous to not very nervous to not nervous at all, and his belly full of economics and economics was full of butterflies. He danced as he wanted, and became an authoritative teacher in the middle school class of wearing hats in elementary schools.Many teachers who can only teach elementary school and dare to mention middle school classes, often buy goods from Wang Yucai first, and then sell them in class the next day.Wang Yucai's character is excellent, he seldom gossip, he only concentrates on preparing and teaching lessons, he is active and down-to-earth whenever he has labor, and he is respected and loved by leaders, teachers and students.Wang Yimin felt relieved because of this.
In less than a year, Wang Yucai fell in love with his first love.The woman was a young girl who had just graduated from a normal school. As soon as she was assigned to Guiduwangcun School, she was assigned to teach in a middle school class.If the girl had a little less vanity and did not teach in the middle school class but in the elementary school class, then what happened later would not have happened, at least it could have been postponed.The girl's name is Lu Hong. The Cultural Revolution happened before she finished her first grade of junior high school. Later, she was recommended from the countryside to a teacher's school for two years. In fact, she spent more than a year engaging in revolutionary criticism. To be honest, she was still at the level of junior high school, at best. It will exceed the second year of junior high school, and now it is inevitable to teach a junior high school class full of fools and flaws.She went to ask Wang Yucai for advice, buying first and then selling.Wang Yucai treats people extremely peacefully. He has always adhered to the principle of treating comrades equally and not participating in factional struggles in the school. My own patience.As time went on, Lu Hong's feelings began to swell as her knowledge increased. In order to repay the time he spent on tutoring for her, she almost instinctively willingly washed the dirty clothes thrown under the bed for him, and brought some delicious food when she came from home. Things are often the first thought that should be given to Wang Yucai.Apart from tutoring, she and he began to talk about things unrelated to teaching and even jokes. She spent more and more time in Wang Yucai's house, and wanted to run to that house whenever she was free.Although Wang Yucai is shy, he is not stupid. He is far beyond the age of late marriage, and his love for men and women is hotter but calmer.One night, Lu Hong bought two catties of mooncakes and sent them to Wang Yucai's house, explaining that it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and she thanked him in advance.Wang Yucai shook his head anxiously and said: "What is this for? How dare I ask the teachers to repay you? Revolutionary comrades learn from each other and improve each other. How can we send moon cakes?" Then he pushed Lu Hong out of the door.The moment he was about to open the door, Lu Hong suddenly ran in, hugged Wang Yucai's neck, and couldn't stop crying.Wang Yucai lowered his hands in a daze, he couldn't breathe under Lu Hong's neck, but he didn't have the courage to raise his hands to hug her.
After that, the two fell in love.Lu Hong's red plump cheeks and his blue cheeks have been together for a long time, and they are inseparable.This very happy marriage was completely destroyed by Lu Hong's father.Lu Hong's father is the party secretary of the village. He had already heard some rumors, so he asked his daughter Lu Hongzheng'er to teach him: "Dad is the secretary of the party committee. I believe you will not engage in a feudal marriage for you. Your free love father firmly supports it. You choose the next one." Wang Yucai's father also thinks that young man is good, but Wang Yucai is the target of the dictatorship of the puppet security chief. You are already a member of the Communist Party. Wang Yucai has never been a member of the league. You are already a public teacher. There is still hope for the false security chief to become a public office. What will you do after you marry Yucai? You will get dark spots when you have children in the future. Grandpa is a false security chief. See what you can do? Marriage is a lifetime You should calm down and think about it."
Lu Hong fell into pain and finally made the same choice as her father.Wang Yucai quickly turned from pain to regret.He said to Wang Yimin with deep regret: "I'm such a complete bastard! Why did I forget my nickname when I just got a little eyebrow? If you didn't help me, I'm still digging shit in the team." Why did I get carried away all of a sudden? How dare I fall in love with the party secretary's woman..." These words came from the bottom of his heart, Wang Yucai quickly calmed down, and repeatedly confessed to Lu Hong that he didn't blame her.So the two broke up peacefully.By the beginning of the next semester, Lu Hong had already been transferred to another elementary school and got married.Not long after, Wang Yucai also completed an important matter calmly and got married.Wang Yimin and his wife worked together to introduce one of her distant cousins to Yucai, Qiu Chan.
Now Wang Yimin, with a heavy mission and a very eager mood, came to the gate of the hotel in this ancient city by bicycle, and he couldn't help being overwhelmed by the majestic tall buildings.God!That one marble column must have knocked off all the belongings of the Hatting School.
Wang Yucai entertained Wang Yimin with the best cigarettes, candies, pastries and drinks, and he was casual, and it was that casual to the point of indifference that showed a kind of magnanimity.Those high-end consumer products that are delicious, drinkable, and easy to smoke are already commonplace for Wang Yucai, but for elementary school education directors like Wang Yimin, they have become a super-extraordinary and advanced enjoyment.What he felt in enjoying these high-end consumer goods was not pleasure but pain, and the value of that can of aluminum-skinned drinks drank his entire day's wages.Even though it was Wang Yucai's money that was spent, he still felt it was a pity.Before he could open his mouth, Wang Yucai guessed why he came to him, and bluntly revealed the whole truth: "I want a divorce, and I want to marry Lu Hong. My marriage with Lu Hong is the best marriage." Morally, my marriage with Qiu Chan is a marriage of death without emotion. Although I still thank you for helping me marry a woman in my most difficult time, my feelings cannot be transferred from Lu Hong Qiu Chan. When I made the decision to divorce, I thought of you first, and my parents second. I know that the result of the divorce will hurt our friendship first. As for cutting off the relationship between father and son, I have no burden. You and I I can guess what my parents scolded me, but I still decided to divorce."
Wang Yimin had nothing to say.Along the way, the army of words he organized to persuade Wang Yucai that he should not divorce all collapsed.On the contrary, Wang Yucai's frankness moved him.He knew that Wang Yucai and Lu Hong had a very strong relationship and an unforgettable old relationship.Now he can only raise some specific difficulties for Wang Yucai to consider: "What about the children? The three children are in the elementary school stage, and they need to be raised by others, but also need the warmth of the heart. Think about it, you can fight for yourself after divorce. In fact, the pain is not getting rid of but passing on to the child's body and mind. Instead of doing this, it is better to take it all for the child."
After mentioning the child, Wang Yucai became dumb, just smoking a dull cigarette, and then cried: "Only the child is innocent. To the child, I am a heinous sinner. I was 9% in the process of deciding to divorce. Nineteen's brains are all hurt by this. I can only guarantee them financially to study and study, and meet all their needs in life. Of course, if Qiuchan can understand a little bit, I will give my children a father's love without hesitation Yes, I'm just worried that Qiu Chan won't give me this chance. There's no way, Lu Hong and I are inseparable. She also fell out with her husband. I can't turn back and don't want to turn back. I already feel like I can live without Lu Hong If you don't go on, parents and old friends, you can't appreciate my feelings. I just hope you can explain more to Qiu Chan. Firstly, Qiu Chan is your relative, and secondly, you kindly facilitated this matter. .You don't have to worry about anything else."
Wang Yimin had nothing to say.He felt that persuasion was useless, so he didn't want to spend more words.He wanted to scold him but couldn't, Wang Yucai was more frank now than before.The shyness in Wang Yucai's eyes has faded away, a kind of indifference, a kind of indifference, a kind of mature sternness, a kind of sophistication after seeing the big world without being surprised. A deep-rooted shyness covered or excluded.He was smoking Yucai's high-end cigarettes, each worth twenty-five cents, equivalent to the market price of a catty of grain.While working as the education director, he farmed the responsible field. Half of his brain was filled with all the educational affairs of Guidu Wang Daimao Middle School, and the other half was filled with fertilizer seeds and market prices of various grains and vegetables.He has fully felt that Wang Yucai is no longer the old Baozhang son, nor is he the "poor little teacher" of Guiduwang School. He is undoubtedly the most active, courageous and life-savvy person in contemporary society.He thought, what would happen to Wang Yucai if he did not come to this company and continued to teach at King Guidu?Will he propose a divorce with Qiu Chan and pursue a real "moral marriage" with Lu Hong?Take a step back and say that if he continues to bear the political pressure of Baochang's son?Thinking of this, Wang Yimin blamed himself again. This kind of thinking is bad in itself, as if he hoped that Wang Yucai would continue to be a son of a bitch.
I remember that after Lu Hong got engaged to someone else, Wang Yucai repented and scolded himself like a toad who wanted to eat swan meat.He persuaded him and comforted him, and he fulfilled a friend's duty of benevolence and righteousness.He went to Qiu Chan's house in person, convinced Qiu Chan and Qiu Chan's parents, saying that Wang Yucai was an absolutely good young man, Baochang's father belonged to Baochang's father, and Wang Yucai himself was the most reliable.To put it bluntly, Qiuchan's father made up his mind and said that he completely believed that Quandang Qiuchan was not marrying Wang Yucai, a private teacher, but Wang Yucai, a farmer, as long as he was reliable.Wang Yucai was very grateful to the couple at that time, and Baochang and his wife were even more grateful.Wang Yimin used to feel at ease because of his sincere help to his friends.Now, instead of being able to persuade Wang Yucai, he put himself in a difficult situation, how should he speak to Qiu Chan?How to meet Qiu Chan's parents?
I remember that when Wang Yucai and Qiuchan got married, he went to a wedding in the countryside. Wang Yucai invited him to be the best man, and he readily agreed and brought Qiuchan back.Wang Yucai couldn't help saying to Wang Yimin after a week of newlywed life: "Qiu Chan is good. She is hardworking and thrifty, and has a good temper. It is just suitable for a family like ours. I am enough for such an innocent poor peasant woman to marry into our family." It's over." Wang Yimin wanted to tell Wang Yucai what he said again, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, so he left.
Before leaving, Wang Yucai told him: "Brother Yimin, don't bother. I know you are a kind person, and I will never forget your kindness to me. You gave me the greatest help in my most difficult time. Even I want to get a divorce, but I still appreciate you introducing Qiu Chan to me. Your motives are 100% good. Now I beg you to stop going the wrong way. No matter whether my parents or Qiu Chan are looking for you, you will push them away. Just let them talk to me."
Wang Yimin said: "I don't need you to tell me about this matter, and I won't come again. You can handle your own affairs!"
When Wang Yimin returned to Guiduwang Village, Wang Yucai's father, Wang Zijie, was at the entrance of the village pretending to mow grass, but he was actually waiting for Wang Yimin.Wang Yimin told the story of how he was looking for Yucai. The old man Zijie felt relieved when he heard it, and he said angrily, "Yimin, why are you so confused? I'll tell you to drag that bastard no matter what. Come back, you..." Wang Yimin smiled wryly and said, "Good uncle! How can I pull such a living man back?" And he put on a look of helplessness.The old man Wang Zijie found out the address, and couldn't wait to take the last train into the city that night.
The old man Wang Zijie almost slipped when he stepped on the corridor of the luxurious Ancient Capital Hotel, the floor was too smooth.The two waiters standing at the door, a man and a woman, looked at the clumsy country old man getting up and asked who he was looking for with a sneer.The old man Wang Zijie said he was looking for his son Wang Yucai.He was cleared and started climbing the stairs.He knocked on room No. 19 on the second floor, and saw his son's face exposed through the crack of the door, his blood rushed to the top of his head, and when he stepped through the door and saw a woman reclining on the couch, the old man knew it by feeling It was Lu Hong, who suddenly lost control and slapped her son's face with a flick of her hand.The woman jumped up from the sofa, pulled his arm, and yelled: "Uncle has something to say slowly..." The old man Zijie smelled a strong fragrance, spit it out in a "bah", and cursed: "Bitch!" Son!" The woman walked out the door with a wave of her hands.
The old man Zijie has completely lost control.With a wave of his hand, he swept all the cigarettes, drinks, and candies on the coffee table to the ground, and the cups, bottles, and jars rolled around on the floor.He grabbed the purple tie tied around his son's neck again, and pulled it out the door.His son Yucai was strangled until he rolled his eyes, struggled in embarrassment, and begged his father to sit down and talk in a flattering tone.The old man Zijie said: "Go home and tell me! I don't want to sit in this place! What kind of place is this? A whore's house!" just sat down.
The old man Zijie sat down and still taunted furiously: "I thought you were doing a decent job in the city, so you were shopping in brothels! Look at the people running upstairs and downstairs, what kind of goods are they running around? What are Tu's ears hanged? Old society kiln yards are not so powerful! Can you learn well by living here? Go home with me to farm like a bastard!"
Wang Yucai just persuaded in a low voice: "Dad, just scold me, don't scold the waiter..."
"Ball! What a ball waiter!" Wang Zijie didn't buy it. "I was a security chief, and I was educated after the liberation of the Communist Party. I didn't expect you to learn bad things and become blind. I have never lived as a security chief. Such a rich house! You see, your grandson looks more like a kid in a foreign suit and tie and pretends to be a thief! If you don’t come home today, I will die in front of you.”
Wang Yucai no longer had any power to fight back.他佯装尿尿就走出房子躲进另一间屋子，让他的公司的同志去打发丧失了理智的父亲。同时叫来一辆出租汽车连拉带哄把子杰老汉送回近郊乡村龟渡王，王育才才得以从尴尬中解脱。
解脱是暂时的。第二天，当王育才坐在桑树镇民事法庭里向赵法官申诉一条一条离婚理由的当儿，他父亲王子杰老汉正站在民事法庭大门口的街道上向赶集上街的男女揭露儿子离婚的内幕，针锋相对。王育才真诚地列出好几条足以说明他和秋蝉没有感情因而是不道德的婚姻的理由，赵法官冷静地甚至无动于衷地问了一句：“既然没有丝毫的感情，那么三个孩子是怎样出来的？”一句话问得王育才张口结舌，虚汗交流。与此情此景形成强烈对比的王子杰老汉获得了完全的成功。他慷慨陈词，言真意切，一件件一桩桩历数自己在前多年顶着黑斑头的困难日月里，王育才的龟孙相可怜样儿，秋蝉怎么来到这个家，怎么贤慧，怎么勤俭，根本不多嫌这个倒霉的家庭，一下子把听他演说的男女感动了，一齐骂王育才忘恩负义不是个东西。王子杰老汉得到众人的呼应，更加来劲地斥责儿子的背叛行为，骂儿子是无情无义没有人性的畜牲，是豺狼是混蛋是陈世美是杂种。人们纷纷议论，像王育才那样的儿子如今并不少见而像王子杰这样知情仗义的老子倒是少有的。消息从桑树镇反馈回龟渡王，子杰老汉的威望空前高涨。
王益民听到这一切时很平静。他是教育主任经常读书看报，一知半解当今社会潮流总的趋向是有利于玉育才追求“真正的符合道德的婚姻”的，然而乡村人依然敬佩王子杰这种重情义的侠贤心肠。他无法确定自己站在哪一边去反对另一边，只觉得自己已无能为力只好任其自然发展。
王子杰老汉时常来找他，不断把这桩离婚案的进展情况汇报给他。“法官判了不准离。”王子杰得胜似的告诉他，“看那狗日的还要咋样？”过了半年，王子杰又神色紧张地说：“益民，那狗日的又告到法院了。”随之又大惑不解地问：“头回告了判下不准离就完了嘛，怎么还容得再告？没完没了了？”他显然不懂得关于离婚法律的特殊规定。过了半年老汉又得意地说：“再告也是白告，赵法官还是判下个不准离婚。狗日的爱告尽管告，赵法官是个好法官，再告一百次也是白告。”这场离婚官司便旷日持久旷年持久地拖延下来，以至王子杰老汉自己也磨得发不起火来。对王益民报告案件进展时的口吻也像说别人的闲话一样：“又告了……爱告告去！”
王益民甚至同情起王育才来。当离婚事件发生时他同情秋蝉是自然的事。现在他依然同情秋蝉也同情王育才。秋蝉虽然得到阿公阿婆的诚心相待全力袒护，毕竟代替不了丈夫。育才和吕红虽然感情呼应仍然摆脱不了偷偷摸摸的被动局面，理想的“符合道德的婚姻”好梦难圆。王益民的同情心产生不久，又被突如其来的一件事冲淡了，这就是吕红丈夫的来访。
吕红的丈夫是个工人，他给王益民第一眼的印象正与他的职业完全吻合。他很率直，衣服穿着很随便，上衣是一件新潮夹克，肩上和臂上以及胸部附加了许多带儿和扣儿，衬衣的领子在脖子里窝迭着。人长得粗壮，一颗硕大的头。他开宗明义说：“我来找你是听说你既与王育才交好也认识吕红，希望你劝一劝王育才也劝一劝吕红。”他声明他之所以不愿意离婚并不是离了吕红就再找不到媳妇，完全是咽不下这口气，王育才太欺侮人了。他警告说他的工友哥儿们早已不能忍受暴发户欺侮已不吃香的工人阶级，要砸断暴发户王育才的狗腿，要把王育才的眼珠挖出来当泡儿踩，只是因为他觉得为了一个吕红臭婊子犯不着让哥儿们受牵连吃官司。
自称已不吃香的“工人阶级”向王益民诉叙了他和吕红成亲的经过。那时候他在省建筑三公司当工人，有三个和他同时进厂的女工追求他，只是因为全是外省籍而遭到父亲反对。父母坚决要给他找一个本乡本上的媳妇，最不行也得是个陕西人，于是吕红大得父母的欢心。他也承认他父母喜欢吕红，见了一面就喜欢上了。他不知道吕红曾经与王育才有过恋爱史，后来知道了也宽容了她。问题在于已经有了一女一男两个孩子了，吕红仍然旧情萌发，把他闪到半路地里真是哭笑两难。他让王益民给王育才捎话过去，暴发户王育才欺侮已不吃香的工人阶级是没有好下场的。
王益民又为王育才深深地担心了。他整日提心吊胆，似乎随时都可能飞来一个王育才被打残的恶讯，他想提醒他警告他又见不着王育才。他又一次找到古都饭店二楼十九号，房子早已换主儿，再也打听不到王育才的下落了。他仍然忧心忡忡。
吕红的父亲接着来访。这位已退位的吕家村的老支书本该休养生息，安度晚年，却被女儿的婚变搅得焦头烂额。他一面痛斥女儿不检点的行为，一面又对自己过去在女儿婚事上的自作主张后悔不及。他说他完全是为了女儿吕红好而想不到弄了窝囊事。他说在当时的情况下，眼瞅着女儿与一个保长儿子结婚，不仅他做党支书的父亲通不过，亲戚朋友也没一个通得过。怎么也想不到而今世事会变成这样。老支书恳切地说：“益民呀！你和叔认识也不是一天两天了，你就好心好意劝一下育才，甭瞎折腾了。都四十的人了，还能再活四十呀！四十岁的人为儿女活着，甭伤了儿女，俩人都有儿有女，折腾不起呀！只要他一收心，我收拾红红也好办了。人到事中迷，需得朋友点明要害……你全当为叔除去心病，好生劝一劝育才。”
王益民被感动了，他送走老支书，心情愈加沉重。我的天爷呀！育才要追求理想的“符合道德的婚姻”的背后，连结着多少人的焦虑忧愁和痛苦。只剩下吕红没有来找他了，所有与这桩离婚案有牵连的人都一次或多次找过他了。王子杰老汉不必说，王育才的母亲不必说，秋蝉自然也不必说。秋蝉的娘家父母找他使他十分难堪地无言以对，吕红的丈夫和吕红的父亲现在也都找过他了，两个家庭的几十个成员都被搅得吃饭不香睡觉不酣。他们都知道他和王育才是朋友，是可以解除他们苦恼的人。然而王益民却毫无办法，他根本说服不了王育才。
吕红最终也来找王益民了。这位女性的到来，才真正摇撼了王益民的心，使他大吃一惊大睁双眼惊骇不已……
又一个灵魂在王益民面前痛苦地颤抖。
当吕红走进龟渡王学校的大门的时候，那些认识她的老师和不认识她的新教师全都像看珍禽异兽一样瞪起了好奇的眼睛。她在龟渡王学校任教时和王育才的恋爱产生过轰动本校的效应。她停薪留职跟上王育才到某公司去挣大钱在全乡教职员中产生了轰动效应。她和王育才在某公司旧情复发的桃色事件的轰动效应扩及全县的教职工。她和王育才偷偷在教育主任王益民的房子作爱的事更使龟渡王的新老职员无人不晓。她现在敢于硬着头皮再次走进龟渡工学校的校园其实已谈不上勇气，王益民第一眼就发现这位女教师的神经有点不大正常。
吕红显然已不是当年在龟渡王学校任教时的吕红了。姑娘特有的红色从脸上褪失净尽，脸色呈一种非自然的白色，那是过多施用脂粉的结果。无论什么现代化妆品都无法挽回已失去的青春。王益民首先感到的不是这些浅显的变化而是吕红的眼睛。吕红的眼睛里是绝望和恐惧，恰如一个人得知了自己的生死簿上的秘密，吕红一坐下就说：“王老师，我是实在无路可走了才来求你，现在只有你能救我了……”
王益民搞不清何以这样？就问：“怎么回事？吕红，你慢慢说。”他顺手关了门。
“你的朋友王育才……是个野兽！”吕红咬着牙说，“是个吃人不吐骨头的豺狼！”
王益民惊奇地问：“你怎么也骂他？”
“他把我害得好苦！”吕红说，“我一直觉察不出他对我设着圈套……”
王益民更迷惑不解：“他怎么会对你设圈套？”
吕红这才告诉他，王育才和她私下里已说好约定：他和秋蝉离婚，她和丈夫离婚。现在，自己己和建筑工人的丈夫离了婚，王育才却突然从桑树镇民事法庭抽回了起诉，不离了……
王益民愈加迷惑：“那为啥？”
“报复！报复报复报复！”吕红癫狂了似地喊，“他要报复我！恶毒的报复！”
“他怎么会报复你？”王益民问，“他和秋蝉的离婚案闹了四五年了，怎么会报复你？”
“全是假的！”吕红说，“他一次一次上诉，又一次一次托人暗里给赵法官塞钱，不要判决离婚。他一直把这场假戏演到我离婚才……”
“啊呀！我的天……”王益民半信半疑。
吕红哭了：“我怎么办？我已离婚了。他在耍我，他记着旧仇。他说他才出了一口气，他说君子报仇十年不晚。他说我当初欺侮了他，我丈夫也欺侮了他，我父亲欺侮了他，全都是欺侮了他有个政治黑疤……现在全都报复了！”
“我信不下！”王益民说，“我信不下去！王育才真会这样歹毒？你们恋爱失败时，他亲口给我说'并不怪责'你吕红嘛！”
吕红苦笑着摇摇头：“王老师，我唯一求你一件事，你去找找王育才，说我死了。他如果还记得我对他全是一片真心，如果还能原谅我当初的动摇，权当说的'势利眼'也行，我只有一丝希望了……”
王益民突然涌起一股强大的责任感，大声肯定说：“吕红你千万别急，绝对不能走绝路，也千万不敢急出毛病来。我明天就去找王育才，你一定等我见了他以后咱们再面谈……”
王益民虽然热诚有余，心中却不免打鼓，如果真如吕红所述，他能扭转王育才吗？他已经比较切实地想另一条路，设法使吕红与那个建筑工人复婚，他说：“万一不行，我去找你丈夫，争取和解……”
吕红冷笑一声：“那样的路我还能走吗？那比死艰难十倍！”
未等第二天王益民去找王育才，王育才当晚打电话找王益民来了。
王益民一接上电话就迫不及待：“育才育才你说你现在在哪里？我有话要找你说。”
王育才却冷静地说：“我们永远不会再见面了我的好朋友。你不要再问我的住址，我们抓紧时间说几句话。”
土益民有点激动，一时找不到说话的头绪。
王育才问：“吕红是不是找你了？”
王益民答：“是的是的，到底怎么回事？”
王育才说：“吕红说给你的事是真的。我已经抽回了离婚诉状，但并不是说我要回龟渡王了。请你告诉父母和秋蝉以及孩子，请他们忘掉我，权当这世界上压根就没有过我。”
王益民急了：“这到底为什么？”
王育才：“不要问'为什么'。我只告诉你，吕红已经离婚了，这是我的圈套。我要报复。我已经报复了，我和吕红恋爱失败时就等着这一天。这一天终于等到了。我当时太痛苦了，她和她父亲完全想不到被扔掉的女婿会是怎样的痛苦，我现在叫他们亲自感受一下。她的那个丈夫当时比我优越的唯一一条是家庭出身好，而吕红选择了他却舍弃了我。让他现在尝一尝此中滋味，也就理解当初我的苦处了……”
王益民实在忍不住了：“你是个毒虫！王育才——你是个歹毒的家伙！”
王育才说：“我曾经是个羞怯的青年……”
王益民说：“假的！你的羞怯是假装的！你的骨子里是歹毒残忍惨无人道！”
王育才却依然冷静：“朋友你说错了，我的羞怯是真实的。我的太多羞怯使我苦恼。我现在又因为那种羞怯丧失殆尽而惋惜。”
王益民骂：“你害了多少人……”
王育才说：“首先是这些人先伤害了我，”
王益民回转了口吻：“育才，我们甭辩嘴了。我需要冷静，你更需要冷静，你无论如何告诉我你的住址，咱们见上一面，想想挽回残局的办法，一切还不是完全无望的。”
王育才说：“不必了，我明天就要走了。”
王益民又急了：“你到哪里去？我敢说世界上没有容你的地方！你的良心也宽容不得……”
王育才说：“我要找一个恰恰能容我的地方。我已经不想再挣钱了。顺便告诉你，我所在的这个公司纯粹是个不摊本只赚钱或者说光骗钱的公司。我对骗钱也觉得腻了。”
王益民：“你到底要干什么？”
王育才：“我要找一个能使我恢复羞怯的地方去。你想想，还不明白吗？”
王益民一时转不过弯：“我想不来！你干脆回学校来吧？”
王育才轻轻叹口气：“我已经不可能再回到讲台上去训导别人子弟了，那地方太神圣，我不配。我正在钻营的这种公司也不干了，越干我越无耻。我又不想自杀，我想在我恢复了人应有的那一点羞怯之后，再论死生之事吧！”
王益民沉默了。
