The Clever Wife of the 1960s Chapter 84 (Part 2)

Li Mei begged him to take her. She didn't want him to be responsible. She just wanted to repay him, really wanted to repay him, that's all.

Li Dayuan knew that this was not a good idea. It would be fine if he was in the provincial capital, but the county town was too close and something could easily go wrong.

But even though I knew it was not good, I didn't know what happened in the end, it just happened naturally.

Li Mei leaned in his arms for a while, then said, "Brother Dayuan, go back. I told you I just want to repay you, that's all. I don't want anything else even if you give it to me. Brother Dayuan, you can come whenever you want, but I won't let you stay overnight, you can go back home."

"Buy some medicine tomorrow, don't run out of it." Li Dayuan said with some regret.

He really shouldn't be so impulsive.

"No need to take medicine. I had a vasectomy shortly after giving birth. It's okay." Li Mei said.

Li Dayuan didn't say anything, but he felt a little regretful in his heart.

But the next day, Li Mei acted as if nothing had happened, and didn't say a word the whole day.

Li Dayuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that she would get entangled with him, but obviously that wouldn't happen.

He decided that he would never go there again, but once something like this started, there was no turning back. How could he just go once and never go again? That was impossible.

Especially since the other party was so considerate, just accompanying him, not letting him stay overnight, not asking him for anything, not asking for anything from him, just taking fifty yuan salary every month, it's that simple.

What a good woman.

Earlier, she occasionally whispered that she wanted to invite him over for dinner, and he nodded hesitantly and went.

But later on, she didn't tell him to come over, and gave him an extra fifty yuan per month for living expenses.

From the first month of the year until June, a whole period of time had passed before Xu Yumei discovered that the employee hired by Li Dayuan's grocery store was actually a woman!

Xu Yumei disagreed immediately and asked Li Dayuan to fire the man. Of course, she had not discovered what was going on between the two of them, but she was not stupid. Keeping a woman in the store would only cause trouble for herself, wouldn't that?

She had always thought that she was going to hire a male employee, but who knew it turned out to be a woman!

Li Dayuan refused and said, "What do you mean? Li Mei is innocent. It's not easy for her to raise a child by herself. Besides, I go home every day and have contact with her in the shop. With her around, I can breathe easily. I don't have to clean up the shop. Where can you find such a cheap and hardworking employee for me? Since she came, her monthly income has been higher than before. Aren't you very happy with it?"

Even though it cost fifty dollars to hire the employee and gave him another fifty dollars in bonus, the store's revenue was still a little more than before.

Xu Yumei stared at him suspiciously, and thought about it. It was true that he had never spent the night outside. Although they didn't have their own room, she would go to his room after returning home and find that he was always asleep.

He came back late once or twice and said he went to Guobin's house to drink, but that was okay because she knew he had a good relationship with Han Guobin.

But even so, Xu Yumei still came to ask Chen Rou privately.

"They did come over to have a drink with Guobin, and I even fried a plate of pig ears for them to go with the wine." Chen Rou said. It was true, and there was nothing wrong with talking about it. After saying this, Chen Rou asked Xu Yumei, "Why do you ask this, sister-in-law?"

"Nothing." Xu Yumei temporarily believed what Li Dayuan said.

But she would still secretly come over to observe from time to time, but every time she came over, she saw Li Mei either mopping the floor or picking vegetables and making some spoiled ones. She was always busy, and she didn't see any interaction between her and Li Dayuan, so Xu Yumei was satisfied.

After all, the amount of money I took home was limited and it was higher than last year.

Moreover, she couldn't play mahjong recently because of this incident. She was addicted to mahjong. How could she delay? After warning Li Mei, she went to the mahjong table to fight.

Li Mei said to Li Dayuan with red eyes that they should just break up. She still had to make money to support her son, so she would not let him go there again.

But she was still as gentle to him as ever and would bring him delicious food every day.

Li Dayuan whispered that he wanted to come over that day, but Li Mei wouldn't let him: "Brother Dayuan, we can't let my sister-in-law down. I'm very satisfied that I can come to work here. I really don't have any other delusions that I shouldn't have. Brother Dayuan, please don't come again. If my sister-in-law finds out, I will definitely not be able to stay here. What should I do then?"

But Li Dayuan came anyway. Seeing Li Mei's mother and children were there, he felt a little embarrassed, and then said, "Li Mei, I brought you a bag of rice."

"Okay." Li Mei glanced at him and took it.

"I'll go back first." Li Dayuan gave it to her and left.

"Meizi, I'll take my grandson home for dinner." Li Mei's mother said quickly.

"Okay." Li Mei nodded and saw her mother off.

After a while, Li Dayuan came over again. Seeing her mother leaving with the child, Li Mei looked at Li Dayuan and said, "Why are you here? Didn't I tell you not to come?"

"I just came here to have a meal, nothing special." Li Dayuan said.

Li Mei cooked a meal for him and asked him to eat and leave quickly. Li Dayuan refused to leave, but Li Mei was determined.

In the end, Li Dayuan had no choice but to go back.

It's just inevitable that I feel a little depressed.

Li Mei's mother came back in the evening and asked, "Can you really do this?"

"Don't worry, mom. I will definitely catch him this time. His woman is not a good person. He will definitely go back and make trouble with him!" Li Mei said firmly.

"You said the same thing to the pork seller last time, but in the end, didn't he fail?" said Li's mother.

"That guy is a loser. This one is different from him." Li Mei said.

The last time, someone ruined the plan before she was fully prepared, so it was interrupted halfway, but this time she had observed it carefully.

No matter which aspect it is, it is now in her hands. How can he escape from her palm?

She was right. Li Dayuan had an argument with Xu Yumei as soon as he got home, because Xu Yumei played cards until almost twelve o'clock and Li Dayuan was watching TV. When he saw her come back, he immediately turned hostile and took out his anger on Xu Yumei.

Wasn't it her fault? If it weren't for her, he would have lived a comfortable life, and could have gone to Li Mei's house for dinner from time to time. But now she wouldn't even invite him to dinner, fearing that he would lose his job.

In short, I'm just full of anger.

Life is just like this noisy pot.

When Han Guobin came to have tea with Li Dayuan that evening, he saw the couple arguing with their faces red and their necks thick.

It was because Li Mei only brought him lunch and didn't cook dinner for him to avoid suspicion. Whenever he went to dinner, she would close the door and not let him in. She would only talk to him during the day.

Li Dayuan had no choice but to go home for dinner, but there was not even a hot meal at home. After several incidents, he got angry and went straight to the neighbor's house and overturned the mahjong table. How could this be tolerated?

Xu Yumei had lost all face in front of her poker friends and would never give up easily.

"Divorce, let's get a divorce tomorrow. I can't live like this with you anymore. After we get divorced and divide the property, you can fight me however you want!" Li Dayuan roared.

"You want a divorce, but you still want to divide the property? Don't even think about getting a penny. All that's mine!" Xu Yumei said angrily.

She has been fed up with it recently, quarreling every day, and today he even dared to come over and overturn the mahjong table. Her hand of cards was so good just now, with three, six, nine and three doors, and it was only a short time since the cards were opened, and they were all ruined by him!

Han Guobin also felt that he did not check the almanac before going out and encountered such a thing, so he naturally tried to persuade him.

She even pulled Li Dayuan over to her house and said, "What are you doing? You guys are fine, but you still quarrel like that and want a divorce. You are already so old."

"Guobin, don't try to persuade me. I really can't live with her anymore. I'm determined to get a divorce. I'll give her the property. I'd rather give up the marriage than get a divorce!" said Li Dayuan.

They really got divorced. Xu Yumei never thought that he would actually divorce her. She went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a divorce on impulse, and when she came out, they were already divorced.

Li Dayuan left without looking back, went home to pack his things, and then moved out just like that, leaving the house with nothing!

"I'm waiting for the day when you regret it. I want to see how you regret it. Don't come back to beg me in the future!" Xu Yumei said as she was shaking with anger.

Li Dayuan ignored her and Xu Yumei just cried at home. Halfway through her crying, she was called to play mahjong.

A fellow player said, "He can leave so resolutely, he must have someone else outside."

The second poker player said, "That's right. Didn't I hear you say last time that the grocery store hired a woman? I think it must be because of her!"

The third poker player said: "None of these men are good people, they are all the same kind of people, this is what they call a dog that can't change its nature, shit!"

Xu Yumei played her cards with red eyes and said, "But I went to see it several times and didn't find any clues."

"If you found out, would it still be called stealing? If you go and check again later, you'll find that they both must be living together now." said the third poker player.

"That's right, but he still has a conscience. He gave you the money and the small house and didn't compete with you for it." said the second poker friend.

"There's no doubt about this. My eldest aunt's son-in-law didn't give my cousin a penny when they divorced. My cousin was left with nothing. That was so unfortunate. You're lucky. Don't cry. There's nothing to cry about. Now you can still play cards in peace. We've already had a separate room anyway. What difference does it make whether he's here or not?" said a card-playing friend.

There is still a difference. Although they have separated their rooms a long time ago, the feeling of having a man at home is different. Now that she has finished playing cards and returned home, the house is empty and she is the only one left.

After playing cards, Xu Yumei went back home and cried for half the night.

She came directly to find Chen Rou. Chen Rou had heard everything from Han Guobin. She really didn't expect that Li Dayuan and Xu Yumei would end up like this.

Let’s not talk about the situation on Li Dayuan’s side for now, but as for Xu Yumei, Chen Rou felt that she had not fulfilled her responsibilities as a wife.

Li Dayuan had complained that he couldn't even have a hot meal when he got home and had to go out to play cards every day.
