I Became Rich by Eating Melons in the Era of Literature (1970s)

Chapter 29: Chapter 29: Shocking News



  Wow, what a good guy. Jiang Youtao never thought that after eating the melons of Zhao Chunhua and the team leader, she could continue to eat the melons of Zhao Chunhua and Secretary Su.

  Secretary Su's son is the same age as his eldest grandson, and he is 20 years old now. Secretary Su must be at least 61 or 62 years old now.

  And according to seniority, Zhao Chunhua should call Secretary Su an uncle.

  Exciting, too exciting, this feeling of sin is too overwhelming. Jiang Youtao was so excited that her hands were shaking.

  This kind of excitement and sense of participation was something she could not feel through the computer screen or mobile phone screen in her previous life.

  So cool!

  Not only Jiang Youtao found it exciting, but even the villagers found it exciting.

  They had known that Zhao Chunhua had an affair with the team leader, but the village party secretary had never revealed anything about his relationship with Zhao Chunhua.

  Secretary Su didn't expect Zhu Yuemei to say such a thing. He was stunned at the time. After he realized what was happening, he was furious: "Zhu Yuemei, what are you talking about?! Are you sick? Or are you still asleep? If you are not awake, get out of here and stop talking nonsense here."

  Secretary Su looked around in panic, but found everyone's eyes were shining, and his back was suddenly soaked.

  Zhu Yuemei said those words just now because she was too angry. But now that she had said it, she just wanted to go ahead and throw the jar away. There were some things that she had kept in her heart for decades.

  "I'm talking nonsense? Am I talking nonsense? Su Changshan, don't you know what's going on? Su Changshan, are you feeling guilty? Are you afraid that I will trample on the face you have saved for so many years?"

  "I'm going to step on you anyway. I'm going to step on you into the dirt, so that you won't be able to stand up for the rest of your life!"

  "On the night of the movie screening on Mid-Autumn Festival 32 years ago, what did you and Zhao Chunhua do when you went to the leeward valley in front of Widow Liu's house, one after the other? Do you dare to tell me? In the following years, you often went out late at night and came back only after the roosters crowed. What did you do? Do you dare to tell me?"

  "You don't dare, right? Then I will help you say it today."

  Zhu Yuemei got engaged to Secretary Su at the age of sixteen, married Su Changshan at the age of eighteen, gave birth to her eldest son at the age of nineteen, and then gave birth to two more daughters. In eight years, she gave birth to three children for the Su family.

  When she was pregnant with her fourth child, Zhu Yuemei discovered the affair between Su Changshan and Zhao Chunhua.

  That night, the village was watching a movie. After she put her child to sleep at home and asked her mother-in-law to watch over her, she went to join in the fun. Before she reached the venue, she saw Su Changshan walking towards the village entrance like a thief. Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly followed him.

  She saw Su Changshan go to the small valley, and then the voices of a man and a woman talking were heard from inside. Zhu Yuemei heard the man's voice every day and was very familiar with it. She was also not unfamiliar with the woman's voice, it was Zhao Chunhua's.

  At that time, Zhao Chunhua had just been married to Liushugou for less than half a year. On weekdays, you couldn't tell that Zhao Chunhua was a dissolute person. She was bullied by her mother-in-law and her husband. She always kept her head down when she went out, and sometimes she didn't say a word all day.

  Zhu Yuemei was young at that time. When she saw her mother-in-law beating and scolding her, she spoke up for Zhao Chunhua several times.

  The whole time Zhu Yuemei was following Su Changshan, she was wondering who the woman was who was having an affair with Su Changshan. She thought of most of the women in the village, except Zhao Chunhua.

  Is this how Zhao Chunhua repays her? By stealing her man?

  She wanted to jump out and expose it at that time, but when she was not far from them, Zhu Yuemei stopped, walked to the other side of the wind and sat down, listening to Su Changshan and Zhao Chunhua doing it again and again.

  They did it three times that night, each time lasting longer than the last. In the end, Zhu Yuemei left first because she couldn't stand the stomachache anymore.

  Half an hour after she returned home, Su Changshan did not come back. Zhu Yuemei did not sleep and kept waiting.

  Zhu Yuemei and Su Changshan have been married for so many years, and even when they were at the peak of their love, they never had sex so many times in one night.

  Humiliation, resentment, and unwillingness all surged into Zhu Yuemei's heart. She even thought about rushing up and making a scene regardless of everything, so that the villagers could come and see this couple.

  But when she thought of her three children at home and the baby in her belly who was about to make sounds after just a few months, Zhu Yuemei stopped.

  She didn't want her child to be talked about by others, nor did she want her child to question her why she exposed his father's scandal when he grew up.

  "Haven't you been asking me why I had a miscarriage when I was three months pregnant with the fourth child? Well, I'll tell you now. It was because I sat on the ground for too long that night listening to you guys having sex, and the cold air entered my body and he couldn't bear it." When the fourth child miscarried, the fetus was almost fully formed, and it was a boy. After the fourth child, Zhu Yuemei never got pregnant again.

  Zhu Yuemei originally thought that she would take this matter to the grave, but she didn't expect to tell it out today. After speaking it out, the depression in her heart was relieved a lot, but when she thought of the child who had no chance to come to this world, Zhu Yuemei couldn't shed tears.

  Because she cried so much and was so sad, she could hardly move at that time!

  "You want to divorce me, right? I'm telling you, Su Changshan, don't dream. I will die in your Su family's territory even if I die in this life. It's wishful thinking for that cousin Zhao Chunhua to want to enter the Su family."

  Secretary Su and Zhao Chunhua had kept their affair well hidden. They only met in the middle of the night. During the day, they didn't say a word. Su Changshan thought the affair was perfect. He didn't know Zhu Yuemei knew about it, and he didn't expect Zhu Yuemei to talk about it in public.

  Su Changshan has been very proud all his life and has always stood tall in the village. But at this moment, his back bent. He didn't dare to look at the eyes of the villagers, nor did he dare to look at the expression of the team leader next to him.

  Jiang Youtao had pulled Gu Nianwei into the crowd long before Zhu Yuemei started to magnify the picture. She grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed them into Gu Nianwei's hand, and gave some to Li Yunying. The three of them stood in a row, cracking melon seeds and watching with great interest.

  "I really didn't expect that Zhao Chunhua is so playful. Tell me, does she have any lovers in this village besides the party secretary and the team leader?" Jiang Youtao felt that Zhao Chunhua was really a master of time management. Look at her, there is Lin Lao Zhuang at home, a little wolfdog team leader outside, and an uncle and his niece-in-law who are committing such taboos and immorality.

  It's exciting. So exciting.

  "Who knows? Maybe there are still people hiding in the dark who haven't been discovered yet?" Gu Nianwei also witnessed such an exciting thing for the first time. She was eating melon seeds happily. She thought it was a good thing that she had no involvement with Lin Jianzhong, otherwise she would be so embarrassed now.

  Li Yunying was amazed: "It's too well hidden. I've been in Liushugou for eight years, and there's no news of this."

  Xu Dazui pushed Li Yunying aside and said, "What have you been doing for the past eight years? I've been in Liushugou for thirty or forty years. I don't know anything about this."

  Xu Dazui can be said to be a capable member of the Liushugou gossip group. She didn't know about this, which shows how well Zhao Chunhua and Secretary Su kept it a secret. If it weren't for Zhao Yonglan's incident today, I'm afraid Zhu Yuemei would have buried this matter in the ground.

  "Give me some melon seeds." Xu Dazui stretched out her hand towards Jiang Youtao.

  Jiang Youtao gave her some, and Xu Dazui cracked the melon seeds with a crackling sound.

  Zhao Yonglan and Zhang Huihui stood together, both of them looked confused.

  Zhang Huihui did not participate in the fight just now. She and Liu Yingjun went to the team headquarters when they were almost at Su's house. They were the ones who found the captain and his group.

  She obviously didn't expect things to develop to this point, and the same was true for Zhao Yonglan.

  In today's incident, she should have been the protagonist, but now she has become just a spectator. Zhao Yonglan feels a little complicated for some reason.

  Zhu Yuemei calmed down after seeing Secretary Su's expression. She looked at her daughter-in-law, granddaughter Xiaojuan, and said, "Why didn't Zhao Chunhua come? Xiaojuan, go and invite Zhao Chunhua to come. I want her to explain everything face to face today."

  Sun Xiaojuan has been against Zhu Yuemei for more than a year or two, but facing what Zhu Yuemei said now, she was silent for a while and decisively went to the Lin family to find Zhao Chunhua.

  She listened to Zhu Yuemei not only because she was her mother-in-law, but also because she was a woman.

  She still clearly remembers what Zhu Yuemei said to her when she was just two months pregnant when she entered the house.

  At that time, Zhu Yuemei said that she had a miscarriage when she was young and had never been pregnant again since then. After 20 years, she was pregnant again and she wanted to give birth to the child. She also made a promise that even if she had a son or a daughter, it would not shake the status of her children. She would still love her children.

  Later, her child was born one after her brother-in-law. Zhu Yuemei really did what she said. She treated both children equally, never favoring her brother-in-law, nor forcing her son to give in to her younger brother-in-law.

  When things get busy, Zhu Yuemei takes care of the children alone. She carries one on her back and holds another in her arms. The one she carries on her back is usually her son Su Yang.

  It's true that Sun Xiaojuan hates Zhu Yuemei. After all, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are natural enemies. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who are as close as mother and daughter are very rare in this world.

  But Sun Xiaojuan still remembers Zhu Yuemei's kindness. She and Zhu Yuemei had a good life in the past.

  Zhao Chunhua was at home coaxing Lin Jianhua's son to sleep. When she saw Sun Xiaojuan barging in, she was stunned for a moment: "Sun Xiaojuan, what do you mean by barging in? What's the point of having a big mouth? Why don't you say hello before entering someone's house?"

  Sun Xiaojuan looked at the fair and plump woman and sneered, "Stop talking. My mother-in-law is looking for you. She has something to ask you."

  Sun Xiaojuan obviously had bad intentions, and when she heard that it was Zhu Yuemei who was looking for her, Zhao Chunhua's heart skipped a beat. But stealing someone else's man, how could she be so uncultured without any moral integrity?

  She immediately said, "Can't you see I'm busy now? If your mother-in-law wants to talk to me about anything, wait until I'm free."

  "I can't wait for you." Sun Xiaojuan walked up, pulled Zhao Chunhua off the kang, grabbed her arm and walked out.

  Since Lin Jianzhong started sending back his allowance, Zhao Chunhua rarely went to the fields except for the autumn harvest. Over the years, Lin Jianzhong sent back more and more money, and Lin Jianhua's wife became more obedient, so Zhao Chunhua even stopped tending the vegetable garden at home.

  In addition, she was fat and her strength was no match for Sun Xiaojuan, who was in her prime and worked all year round.

  After she was pulled away, she only had time to put on her shoes.

  Zhao Chunhua was dragged all the way here and met many people on the way. The way they looked at her scared her.

  When she saw Secretary Su squatting on the ground, the last bit of hope in Zhao Chunhua's heart disappeared. After many years, her affair with Secretary Su was finally exposed.

  Zhu Yuemei had hated Zhao Chunhua for more than 30 years and had suppressed her hatred for more than 30 years. Now when she saw Zhao Chunhua, the suppressed hatred burst out. She strode forward and slapped Zhao Chunhua in the face.

  Zhao Chunhua had fair skin, and her face turned red instantly after the slap. A slap mark appeared on her face. Zhu Yuemei slapped her again with her backhand, using all her strength, and the corner of Zhao Chunhua's mouth was bleeding.

  Zhu Yuemei laughed so hard that tears came out: "Zhao Chunhua, you know, I have wanted to beat you for more than 30 years."

  "More than thirty years ago, when you tried to get Su Changshan to divorce me, I wanted to beat you. In the past thirty years, every time I saw you in the village, I wanted to grab you and scratch you." Zhu Yuemei's eyes were red with hatred.

  She gnashed her teeth and said, "Why are you so cheap? Why are you so cheap? Are you so short of men? You feel itchy if you don't have sex with a man for a day? If you feel itchy, go and sell yourself on the street. There are so many men who want to sleep with you. There are so many bachelors, slackers, and second-rate guys. They all have no families. Can't you just find one and sleep with him? Why do you specifically look for men with families? Huh?"

  "You asked Su Changshan to divorce me, but Su Changshan didn't listen to you. Were you very disappointed? Yes, if you weren't disappointed in him, why would you go to the captain? Right?"

  Zhu Yuemei has been fantasizing about this scene for many years, and sometimes she becomes obsessed with it.

  Zhu Yuemei doesn't care about so many things now. She just wants to vent all the frustration she has felt over the years.

  From the time she was pulled here until now, whether she was beaten or insulted by Zhu Yuemei, Zhao Chunhua did not say a word until Zhu Yuemei said this.

  She raised her head and looked directly at Zhu Yuemei: "You are wrong, he agreed. If you hadn't had a miscarriage, you would have divorced long ago."
