Chapter 23: Being the most reliable person is good, but being a man is not necessarily good 

Ji Xiaoyue brought Fu Liye to her house today for a reason.

She didn’t want to wait any longer, she wanted Sun Dahua to know about Li Dahai’s matter sooner.

She had originally thought that Li Laotai was paralyzed, and she would take the children there, Li Dahai’s house would definitely be in chaos, and life would be difficult.

They wouldn’t be able to endure it for long and they would come back. Then, they would reveal the truth and directly expose Li Dahai’s remarriage.

But waiting for Li Laotai to come back was too passive, who knew when they would be unable to bear it. What if Li Dahai’s new wife was someone who could endure and was filial to her mother-in-law, and she endured for a year or two before making a fuss, would they have to wait until then?

She remembered the book mentioning that Li Dahai was a military doctor under Fu Liye, so she brought him over today.

“Comrade Sun Dahua, didn’t you get a marriage certificate when you married Li Dahai?” Fu Liye asked her.

Sun Dahua was stunned and shook her head blankly, “In the village, getting married and having a banquet is considered married. I don’t understand.”

Fu Liye paused for a moment and asked Sun Dahua, “What do you think? Do you still want to live with Li Dahai?”

Sun Dahua paused for a moment, looked at Ji Xiaoyue, then at Wang Guihua, “I don’t want to anymore. It’s just that I feel uncomfortable, I took care of my mother-in-law for so long, and he still wants me to take care of his child, and now my reputation is ruined.

If I go out and remarry, I’ll be a divorced woman. I don’t know if people in the city care about this, but in the countryside, if something like this happens, we can’t hold our heads up.”

Sun Dahua took a deep breath and twirled her fingers, “People who are rejected by their in-laws come back to their natal family. My parents don’t care about these things, so they let me come back.

I just don’t understand. What did I do wrong to Li Dahai that he would treat me like this? If he doesn’t want to marry me, then don’t marry me, why does he have to be so disgusting?”

Sun Dahua had been reading books with Ji Xiaoyue, and now she spoke more coherently than before.

She had been feeling resentful, but she didn’t know how to express it. Now she could express herself smoothly.

“Okay! I’ll let the organization investigate this matter. He’s behaving improperly, he’ll come back and explain himself to you personally.” Fu Liye nodded.

Next, Fu Liye didn’t continue talking about Li Dahai, but kept asking about Ji Xiaoyue’s situation.

Wang Guihua was also asking about Fu Liye’s situation.

The more she looked at Fu Liye, the more satisfied she was.

When Fu Liye was leaving, Wang Guihua warmly said to him, “Liye, come and play anytime.”

Fu Liye smiled and nodded in agreement.

As he left, he asked Ji Xiaoyue, “Do you really have plans to marry me? If you do, I need to report to the organization and apply for marriage.”

Ji Xiaoyue paused for a moment and hesitated, “Comrade Fu Liye, go back and think carefully about whether you really want to marry me.”

Then, she said goodbye to the children.

Fu Liye rode his bicycle back to the county with the two children.

On the way, he asked the two children, “Would you like to be taken care of by Sister Ji?”

Niuniu asked him, “Are you going to marry Sister?”

Fu Liye paused for a moment and said, “Yes, Uncle wants to get married, I think Sister is very good, so I’m asking if you like her.”

The two children nodded, “We like her! She smells like Mom.”

Fu Liye nodded, “Okay, then Uncle will work hard and marry Sister.”

The two children said in unison, “Uncle, we’ll help you.”

…

After Fu Liye left, Ji Xiaoyue was pulled aside by Wang Guihua and Sun Dahua for questioning.

“Xiaoyue, what’s going on with this Fu Liye? Is he really Li Dahai’s superior?” they asked Ji Xiaoyue anxiously.

Ji Xiaoyue briefly told them about Fu Liye’s situation, “Yes, he’s Li Dahai’s direct superior.”

Wang Guihua’s face was serious. She hesitated for a moment and said, “Anyway, my Dahua is still a virgin, so let’s just forget about it until they come back and explain.”

Wang Guihua was a little hesitant.

Ji Xiaoyue took a deep breath and looked at Wang Guihua and said, “Auntie, we’ve already been bullied enough, how can we just let it go? Li Dahai’s behavior is improper, he should be punished.”

“But I heard that Comrade Fu said that Li Dahai married the daughter of a commander, my Dahua can’t compare.” Wang Guihua was hesitant because she heard Fu Liye say that he married the daughter of a commander.

Ji Xiaoyue said to her, “It’s precisely because the commander’s family cares about face that this matter needs to be exposed. Auntie, we haven’t made a fuss yet, we’ve already given Li Dahai’s family face.”

Sun Dahua paused for a moment and gritted her teeth, “Mom, I think Sister is right, we can’t be afraid of them, Li Dahai is the one who did wrong.”

She had thought about it these days, why was their family always bullied by the Sun family?

Because they were afraid of trouble.

They would back down when they were bullied, so others knew they were easy to manipulate and would continue to bully them.

“Mom, Xiaoyue will get married sooner or later, in the future, we can only help ourselves. We have to stand on our own two feet. We don’t bully others, but we can’t be bullied.” Sun Dahua had changed a lot after following Ji Xiaoyue these days.

The original Ji Xiaoyue was also someone who would endure and was afraid of trouble, so her ending was so tragic.

“Since Comrade Fu said that he would send someone to investigate, then there will definitely be a result. Let’s wait.” She said, and then said to Wang Guihua and Sun Dahua, “Let’s make our money first.”

Wang Guihua asked her again, “That Comrade Fu Liye, are you really…”

“Are you really going to marry him? He seems like a good person, but I don’t know what his personality is like.”

Then, she said with a little pride, “But just thinking about him being Ji Dahai’s superior makes me feel good. Xiaoyue, you’re smart, take a look yourself, Auntie’s eyes aren’t good.”

Ji Xiaoyue smiled and put her arm around Wang Guihua, disagreeing, “Nonsense! Your eyes are great. If your eyes weren’t good, how could you have married such a good man like my uncle?

In this era, it’s already very rare to not be patriarchal and to love your wife and daughter.”

Sun Gensheng is good to his wife and children, he’s also honest and kind, he’s just too afraid of trouble.

To be honest, Sun Gensheng is much better than those men who beat their wives, cheat on them, and then think their daughters are burdens.

“I’m talking about your business, don’t change the subject.” Wang Guihua pointed at her nose.

Ji Xiaoyue paused for a moment, “Let’s see. A woman’s path doesn’t necessarily have to be through marriage.”

She wanted to hold onto Fu Liye’s leg. Because she knew about Fu Liye’s future achievements, he would rise rapidly and reach a position that others couldn’t.

Having him as a backing would be great. But having him as her husband wouldn’t necessarily be good.

“He said he wanted to get married because he wanted to take the children away. Maybe he’ll change his mind after thinking about it.” Ji Xiaoyue said.

Wang Guihua paused for a moment and then nodded,

“We’re doing well selling pig head meat and cold dishes now.”

“Yes, we’re all happy now.”
