Reborn in a small village in the 1990s

Chapter 279

Li Jin was amused to see that Zhou Tianfu didn't dare to make a move. He patted his own face and provocatively said, "Come and hit me. I'm not wrong. I've been married to your aunt for five years and haven't been able to have a child. I think you're just a barren hen."

Zhou Tianfu was furious, veins bulging on his forehead. He stepped forward and shouted, "Try saying that again if you dare!"

Cheng Jinxiao's face was also ugly. She turned her head away, not wanting to see Li Jin's face. She just wanted to get a divorce as soon as possible and leave this place.

Seeing Zhou Tianfu so angry, Li Jin felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Zhao Da'e, on the other hand, pretended to be puzzled and said, "Big cousin, I remember the women's director once explained to the villagers that whether or not a man can have children is usually the man's responsibility. My aunt went to the hospital for a check-up not long ago and there was nothing wrong with her. Isn't this my uncle's problem? Why is he saying it's my aunt's fault?"

The child's words made everyone present burst into laughter, and they all laughed at Li Jin.

"Hahaha, so it turns out the man was the one who couldn't do it, how can you blame the woman for that?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, this guy is no good. I need to go back and have a serious talk with my sister. She needs to be more careful when choosing a man in the future. She can't go for someone who is incompetent and loves to complain."

"Did you hear what that man just said? He blamed her for being a barren rooster, and he's the one criticizing her for being useless."

To passersby, Zhao Da'e was a child, so how could he possibly lie? Li Jin, on the other hand, looked fat and not very good-looking at first glance, while Cheng Jinxiao was good-looking but looked somewhat haggard, with calluses on her hands, indicating that she had done a lot of manual labor.

It's likely that the husband was dissatisfied with his wife's inability to have children and her aging appearance, which led him to seek a divorce.

In addition, given the harsh words Li Jin had just said, everyone naturally sided with Cheng Jinxiao.

Seeing that everyone was on her side, Cheng Jinxiao's expression softened considerably, and she became more confident, even straightening her back when she spoke.

“Li Jin, I’ve already been to the hospital and the doctor said I’m fine. I suggest you go and get it checked out. Aren’t you going to have children? Go get it checked out, otherwise it won’t be good if it affects your ability to have children.”

Cheng Jinxiao smiled slightly, then walked up to the staff and said, "My household registration book, ID card and other documents are all here. I want to get a divorce as soon as possible."

The staff member paused for a moment, then nodded and quickly went to process the request, while savoring the conversation between the two in his mind. He felt quite pleased to have gotten a juicy tidbit of gossip.

Li Jin was furious. He retorted, "You old hag, what do you mean by that? Are you saying I have a problem? Do you believe me? After we get divorced, I'll immediately marry a woman who's prettier and more capable than you, and she'll give me five or six kids!"

Cheng Jinxiao glanced at Li Jin and said coldly, "After the divorce, we'll have nothing to do with each other, and I have no say in your affairs."

These words left Li Jin speechless, as if he had been punched in the gut and was powerless to retaliate.

Meanwhile, the staff, handling matters related to property, asked the couple, "Gentlemen, how should your assets be divided?"

Li Jin immediately said, "How else can we divide it? Of course, we'll make that wretched woman leave with nothing! She still wants to take my money? Don't even think about it! I won't leave her a single penny of my house, land, chicken farm, or any other assets. These are all mine!"

After saying that, Li Jin proudly put his hands on his hips, showing that he was better than Cheng Jinxiao at this matter.

The staff member looked at Li Jin with some disdain, and instead asked Cheng Jinxiao for her opinion, "Madam, what are your requirements?"

Cheng Jinxiao pointed to her two small bags and the clothes she was wearing, "I have no requests, as long as I can take these things with me."

The two small bags contained some of Cheng Jinxiao's clothes, as well as some jewelry, such as that oversized gold necklace.

Li Jin was very disdainful and even looked down on Cheng Jinxiao. He thought Cheng Jinxiao would cry and make a fuss, but he didn't expect her to only have this one request.

"Just do as she says, get a divorce quickly. I'm in a hurry to marry a wife who can give me a son."

Li Jin waved his hand impatiently, and the passersby around him looked at him with disdain and whispered among themselves.

"What girl would dare to marry a man like him, especially one who's been married before and has no ability? I bet a good girl would suffer if she married him."

“I happen to have a daughter who has come of age. I need to have a serious talk with the matchmaker later. I absolutely cannot introduce such a person to my daughter.”

"I am me too."

Their back-and-forth banter made Li Jin feel awkward, so he could only snap at the staff, "Get it done quickly!" He didn't want to stay there a second longer.

The employee who had been scolded pursed her lips and secretly complained to herself. She thought that what the people around her were saying was true. She would have to talk to her sister properly later and tell her that she must not marry a man like Li Jin.

The staff were very efficient; the two left as soon as they received their divorce certificates.

Li Jin still had that arrogant look on his face as he looked at Cheng Jinxiao, "Crazy woman, as the saying goes, even a day as husband and wife is a hundred days of kindness. Although we are divorced, considering the five years we've spent together, if you beg me, maybe I can let you stay at my house. All you have to do is help me clean the house and take care of the chicken farm business. Anyway, you probably don't have anywhere to stay when you go back to your parents' house, so you might as well stay here for now."

Zhao Da'e was speechless, and couldn't help but sigh that Li Jin was really shameless. He was trying to find a free nanny on the spot who could also help make money and wouldn't be involved with his family property.

Zhou Tianfu said with disgust, "You've really gone too far! Who said my aunt has nowhere to go? I'm taking her home today!"

Seeing Li Jin's appearance, Zhou Tianfu could already imagine how much his aunt had suffered over the past five years. Not only was she disliked for not being able to have children, but she was also frequently ordered around by the man's family and didn't even receive the respect she deserved. He felt like spitting on such a man.

Li Jin thought Cheng Jinxiao would hesitate and be reluctant to part with him, but he was wrong. There was not a trace of lingering affection for him in Cheng Jinxiao's eyes.

"Li Jin, from now on, let's go our separate ways and have no further contact."

These past five years have allowed Cheng Jinxiao to see a person for who they truly are. Besides, she now has a gold necklace worth about two thousand yuan. She can sell the necklace and put the money in her savings account, which will ensure her future.

All she wanted now was to get away from Li Jin as quickly as possible, buy the earliest train ticket, and avoid being bothered by Li Jin after he discovered her gold necklace was missing.

"Big Goose, Tianfu, let's hurry up and go."

As they spoke, Cheng Jinxiao picked up a small bag, while Zhou Tianfu took the initiative to pick up another small bag, and the three of them left.

Li Jin was left standing there alone. Seeing Cheng Jinxiao leave so decisively, Li Jin angrily cursed, "You ungrateful woman!"

"Tch, when you get back to your parents' home and are kicked out because you're not welcome, you'll come back one day begging me to take you in!"

Li Jin grumbled as he boarded the bus, ready to go home.

Two hours later, when Li Jin returned home and found his room locked, he was stunned at first, then subconsciously slapped his thigh, "I forgot, that crazy woman must have been out of her mind last night to lock my room!"

Li Jin had no choice but to go in to see if he had a key since the other two rooms were open. But when he entered Cheng Jinxiao's room, he was stunned for a long time.

The room was empty, even the bedding was gone. Cheng Jinxiao had taken all her belongings with her. Li Jin felt uneasy, as if something was missing.

But after he realized what was happening, he went back to looking for the key. However, he searched through both rooms and the kitchen but couldn't find it.

Having no other choice, Li Jin had to call a locksmith to unlock the door, which would cost money. But Li Jin had no other option but to break down the door to get in, as replacing the door would also cost a lot of money. It was much more convenient to just call a locksmith.

after an hour.

"I've opened the door for you. Remember to pay me for unlocking it in a few days." The locksmith threw the removed lock handle into Li Jin's hand. He was a little dissatisfied that Li Jin couldn't pay, but Li Jin promised to pay him in a few days. In addition, Li Jin ran a chicken farm, so he would definitely have the money to pay him back in a few days.

Li Jin smiled obsequiously as he saw the locksmith off, but inwardly he cursed Cheng Jinxiao. If this crazy woman hadn't locked her room, would he have needed to pay a locksmith to unlock it?

But now, no matter how much you scold Cheng Jinxiao, she can't hear you.

Li Jin was stunned the moment he opened the door. The wardrobe was open, and the floor was covered with his clothes, which also had shoe prints on them.

Li Jin's expression changed drastically, and he immediately rushed to the wardrobe and opened the bottom drawer.

Where's the gold necklace?

What came into view was an empty drawer, with nothing inside.

Li Jin immediately exploded!

"Where's my gold necklace? Where's my gold necklace?!"

Li Jin shouted anxiously, "This is the gold necklace I bought for two thousand yuan!"

Li Jin immediately began searching the room, initially thinking the gold necklace had been lost in some corner, but after searching every nook and cranny, he still couldn't find it.

Li Jin's composure immediately crumbled. Suddenly, as if he had just realized something, he looked up.

Why did Cheng Jinxiao deliberately lock the room last night, and then rush to get a divorce today, even asking the staff to let her take only the clothes in those two bags? It turns out his gold necklace was in those two bags of clothes!

After figuring it out, Li Jin's eyes reddened, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "What a brilliant calculation!"

Li Jin instinctively wanted to confront Cheng Jinxiao, at least to get the gold necklace back, but at that moment she felt a little lost.

Now that he's divorced, Cheng Jinxiao has probably already boarded a train and fled. He doesn't have much money to go anywhere else, and he still has to run a chicken farm, so he can't go very far.

Enraged, Li Jin could only curse repeatedly, "Damn it, Cheng Jinxiao! You'd better be kicked out of your parents' house as soon as you get back! Don't let me catch you!"

On the other side, Cheng Jinxiao, who had already boarded the train, suddenly sneezed and felt a chill down her spine, as if someone was cursing her.

Cheng Jinxiao didn't think too much about it. Instead, she looked at Zhou Tianfu, who was actively selling boxed lunches, and was a little dumbfounded. She looked at Zhao Da'e and asked, "Da'e, Tianfu... can he sell things? Can he even sell boxed lunches on a train?"

Zhao Da'e grinned, "As long as you're bold enough and thick-skinned, you can naturally sell boxed lunches, and the money you make is not bad."

Zhao Da'e taught Zhou Tianfu how to sell boxed lunches for two days. Now Zhou Tianfu is quite skilled at it and has mastered some techniques for selling boxed lunches. He even dares to go to the train vendors to buy boxed lunches and some free items at low prices, and then resell them at high prices, making a profit from the price difference.

Cheng Jinxiao admired Zhou Tianfu. She had also sold chickens, but people would come to her to negotiate prices. Unlike Zhou Tianfu, who sold chickens carriage by carriage with so many people watching, Cheng Jinxiao knew she couldn't do that.

Later, Zhao Da'e also went to help Zhou Tianfu sell boxed lunches. Cheng Jinxiao could only shake her head helplessly as she looked at the two of them.

When the two finished selling the boxed lunches and were counting the money, Cheng Jinxiao was surprised to find that Zhou Tianfu had actually made a profit of about thirty yuan from the boxed lunches he had just bought.

You know, in the countryside, a normal person's income is probably only a few hundred yuan a month, but Zhou Tianfu earns tens of yuan a day just by selling boxed lunches online. If he sells them every day, he can earn nearly a thousand yuan a month.

Cheng Jinxiao also had the idea of ​​selling boxed lunches, so in the evening, she joined the team selling boxed lunches.

At first, Cheng Jinxiao was a little reserved, but later Zhao Dage slowly taught her how to sell, and brought her along to sell, and Cheng Jinxiao dared to shout out her wares loudly.

However, the sale of boxed meals that night did not go so smoothly. Even when Zhao Da'e tried to buy the meals at a lower price from the salesperson, the salesperson raised the price. Previously, Zhao Da'e had negotiated the price down to 1.5 yuan per meal. At noon, seeing how easily Zhao Da'e and others were selling boxed meals, the salesperson became envious and raised the price of the meals to 2 yuan per meal.

Zhao Da'e and the others naturally objected. A boxed meal cost two yuan, which was so expensive, and the meals were so hard to buy. If the meals couldn't be sold, they would easily be stuck with the bad stock and lose money.

So the three of them tried their best to negotiate the price, but Zhao Da'e decided not to buy the boxed meals and instead sell them. Only then did the train salesman remember it, and in the end, he compromised and sold them at the original price of one yuan and fifty cents per serving.

When Zhao Da'e came to sell his wares that evening, the three of them were dumbfounded. They saw the train vendor also pushing a cart and selling his wares behind them. The train vendor sold his wares exactly as Zhao Da'e and his companions did.

Zhao Da'e sells boxed meals for three yuan a serving and gives away gifts, and the train ticket sellers follow suit.

They've taken away a lot of Zhao Da'e's customers.

Zhou Tianfu was furious and wanted to go up and argue with the salesperson, "What's wrong with this salesperson? How can you do business like this? They sold us boxed lunches and then copied how they sell them, stealing a lot of our customers. Do they really think we're easy to bully?"

But as angry as I am, there's nothing I can do, since they're the ones who call the shots here.

Zhao Da'e didn't care much about these things. He was just looking for something to do, and if he could earn some money, great; if not, he could just stay put. There was no need to get angry about it.
