Beautiful beauties in the 80s courtyard

Chapter 10: Divorce for whatever reason

Mrs. Li lost her gold ring. She said she took it off and placed it on the kang the night before, but it was gone when she woke up in the morning.

She insisted that it was her second daughter-in-law who stole it.

Because her second daughter-in-law asked her for this gold ring, but she was reluctant to give it to her.

The second daughter-in-law of the Li family was also very strong. She refused to admit it and asked the old lady to call the police. Then the street office also helped to look for her, but unfortunately they didn't find her.

So the dispute was shelved for several days.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law blamed each other and were about to become enemies.

Lu Qiaoge took his eyes off the swallow's nest, introduced himself to Qi Shuang with a smile, and then went into the house with Qi Shuang.

Seeing Qi Shuang's face full of sorrow and pain, Lu Qiaoge said straight to the point, "This morning I summarized several possibilities for why he didn't touch you. Sister Qi, take a look."

After saying that, he took out the paper from his pocket and handed it to Qi Shuang.

Qi Shuang glanced at Lu Qiaoge suspiciously. She was relieved that Lu Qiaoge didn't ask questions as soon as she came in like the others did.

Qi Shuang took the paper and unfolded it. His eyes widened immediately. The pain on his face disappeared, leaving only disbelief.

I saw 12345...29 items written on a piece of ordinary white paper.

These are not just a few.

Qi Shuang covered his chest with his hands, his eyes full of confusion.

How can there be so many possibilities?

"Sister Qi, how many can you rule out?"

Lu Qiaoge took out a pencil and said, "Tick off the ones you think are impossible."

Qi Shuang hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

While Lu Qiaoge was drinking water, Qi Shuang had already frowned and crossed out half of it, leaving only half.

Lu Qiaoge asked softly, "What was your husband's attitude when your mother-in-law said you were infertile?"

Qi Shuang gritted her teeth: "He doesn't care and lets my mother-in-law scold me."

Lu Qiaoge: ...

Whatever the reason, this marriage is suffocating.

She glanced at Qi Shuang calmly and asked, "If he tells you the reason and still wants to live with you, what will your attitude be?"

Qi Shuang: "One of the reasons above?"

Lu Qiaoge nodded.

Qi Shuang hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Divorce, no matter what the reason is."

This is easy to handle.

Lu Qiaoge suggested: "Then you should write a divorce application. If he disagrees, you can go to the Women's Federation."

Lu Qiaoge took the paper away before leaving, but Qi Shuang also copied it down.

Qi Shuang decided to confront Yao Kai one by one.

At this moment, Lu Qiaoge had just walked to the door and suddenly jumped forward. This action brought back Qi Shuang's scattered mind, and then a pile of bird droppings fell on the ground at the door.

This is also where Lu Qiage was standing just now.

Qi Shuang hurriedly asked: "Qiao Ge, are you okay?"

Fortunately, I dodged in time, otherwise it would have hit me.

Lu Qiaoge looked up at the swallow's nest.

A swallow flew overhead: [Oops, missed the target.]

Another swallow poked its head out of the nest and said affectionately, "Honey, you've been naughty again. Go find me something to eat."

This season should be the hatching period for swallows, and the little swallows have not yet hatched.

Lu Qiaoge rolled his eyes and looked at his neighbors who were getting busy.

She said, "Sister Qi, your swallows are so abominable. I'm going to teach them a lesson."

Without waiting for Qi Shuang to stop him, Lu Qiaoge had already picked up the ladder from the corner, placed it under the eaves, and climbed up. Yan Zi was still watching the fun, but she didn't expect that the human who climbed up would actually stare at her.

Ah…Ahh!

Lu Qiaoge: "Stop it, your dear, is she so naughty?"

【Huh?】 Yan Zi’s entire body froze.

Lu Qiaoge looked inside and saw that in addition to the three bird eggs, there was actually a gold ring next to it.

Lu Qiaoge didn't take it, but whispered to Yan Zi, "I can understand what you're saying. Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. But don't touch the gold ring, or someone will come to take it."

[You...you really understand?]

Lu Qiaoge hummed, then nodded at Yan Zi: "Tell your husband, if he dares to fly over my head and shit again, I will pluck all his feathers!"

Yan Zi glared at him with her dark eyes: [Hmm…it…it definitely won’t dare to do that.]

Lu Qiaoge thought for a moment, then said with a smile, "Let your naughty husband go to Guzitun in the north of the city and help me check what vegetables the members have in their gardens. When they're ready, I'll give you some millet to eat."

Guzitun is the brigade closest to the military factory, located in the suburbs north of the city.

Every family has a vegetable garden and a private plot of land.

Lu Qiaoge likes to eat meat, but also likes to eat vegetables.

But nowadays, not to mention eating meat, even eating vegetables is not as easy as we imagined.

Not to mention the tube-shaped buildings, even the bungalow area doesn’t have a vegetable garden.

The Lu family only planted a row of green onions in the corner of the wall, and they have almost been eaten up now.

Grocery stores actually stock leafy greens every day, but it's hard to get them. I heard they're all taken away through backdoors. There are only a few hundred pounds on the counter, but there are thousands of people buying them.

As for why there aren't more people buying, the grocery store has a new manager this year and no one knows what's going on.

Anyway, I have to go in and grab it every day...

Lu Qiaoge also had an idea and decided to let the naughty swallow fly over to take a look.

Whether it works or not, you won’t know until you try it.

When the swallows heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. They went there often, so they nodded vigorously in agreement.

Lu Qiaoge got down the ladder, pulled Qi Shuang over, and whispered, "Did you know about your neighbor's lost gold ring?"

Qi Shuang: “I know.”

Lu Qiaoge pointed to the swallow's nest and said, "There's a gold ring in there."

Qi Shuang covered his mouth in shock.
-
When Lu Qiaoge returned home, Su Hui, who had just returned from doing odd jobs, was cooking.

Because of their journey, Old Mrs. Lu and Lu Qiaoling were very tired and were sleeping at this time.

It was almost the end of May and the weather was a bit hot, so Lu Qiaoge hurried to get some water to wash his face.

Old Lu came back at the same time as Lu Qiaoge. He was holding a lunch box filled with braised pork and potatoes.

Meng Xia took the lunch box and pointed to the west room: "Mom and Qiao Ling are back."

Without waiting for Lao Lu to show his emotions, Meng Xia told him the reason why they came back.

Finally, Meng Xia frowned and said, "I don't know which rude person called Qiao Ling like this. It's so mean."

Lao Lu thought for a moment and waved his hand: "This phone number is difficult to check, so let's leave it this way for now."

Then he said, "I think Qiao Ge has become much more sensible after falling into the water. Even if they don't have jobs, they won't starve to death by just making paper boxes at home for the time being. I'll apply for overtime tomorrow." Then he frowned and said, "Qiao Ling, how are things being handled back home?"

Meng Xia rolled her eyes. "Your mother was lying in the brigade headquarters, clutching her chest, saying that she and Qiao Ling were dying. How could Fifth Uncle not dare to keep them? He sent them to the train that night..."

Old Lu glared and said, "How can you lie?"

Meng Xia didn't bother to pay attention to him: "Then go report it!"

Old Lu has always been law-abiding and responded to calls, and never uses backdoors to ask others for help, otherwise it wouldn't be so difficult.

Old Lu felt a headache and was about to say something when Meng Xia said, "Don't forget to go to Old Jiang's house tonight to borrow some food. When Mom and Qiao Ling come back, there won't be enough food. You can return it to him next month."
