Chapter 857: Multiple Wives and Multiple Children

"I forgot what she was wearing!"

Chen Jianjun didn't understand what the leather jacket Chen Feng was talking about was, but he also forgot about the other person's clothes. Who normally could remember the clothes of a woman who they had only seen a few times half a year ago?

Unless she is a celestial beauty.

"Um, my hair is just longer."

Nowadays, most women rarely grow long hair for the convenience of work and for cleanliness.

One of the important reasons why long hair became popular in later generations was shampoo. Even so, washing long hair was still a hassle.

In an era without shampoo, and with the elimination of the Confucian concept that one’s hair and body are inherited from one’s parents, most women of this era were freed from the pain of having long hair!

"Yes, that's the one. I met her twice and talked to her for a few minutes. She has a nice personality, but her standards are a bit high and she looks down on ordinary people."

Chen Jianjun said with some emotion: "She lives in the compound, and those people are all like this, looking down on those outside the compound, and even asking me why my family doesn't live in it."

This is actually nothing and easy to understand.

Those in later generations who are obviously not native Shanghainese but have migrated there are so arrogant that they look down on outsiders who work in Shanghai!

There are such people even in the household registration system, let alone the new generation living in the new city!

"It's a good thing she didn't, otherwise when Lily grows up, her tail would be up in the sky." The old lady suddenly said with a smile.

"Grandma, I don't have a tail!"

Chen Li, who was eating quietly, raised her head, stood up excitedly, turned her butt around, and said to the old lady: "Look, I don't have a tail on my butt!"

"Only Lai Fu has a tail!"

Lai Fu, who was eating meat, also looked up at the little girl.

"Yes, yes, you don't have a tail!" Chen Feng pushed her down and said, "Eat your meal."

Chen Li wanted to say something, but Chen Feng picked up a lot of meat for her and she immediately quieted down.

When it comes to food, the desire to show off to others is somewhat lacking.

"Isn't he afraid of being reported for having affairs?" Zhou Qing continued to ask, immediately attracting the attention of Chen Jianjun, the old man, the old lady, and Chen Feng.

Chen Li, who was eating with big mouthfuls of food, realized something was wrong later. Seeing everyone's expressions, she immediately looked at her mother, still chewing.

"No, I didn't want to report it. Qin Huairu is our neighbor after all."

Zhou Qing explained nervously.

"We are not blaming you, it's just that this matter has nothing to do with us. Someone will definitely report it, but as long as they are not caught on the spot, it is a false accusation."

Chen Jianjun smiled bitterly and said, "Now we need to talk about the evidence."

Before the storm started, facing a high-ranking official like Li Huaide, it would be impossible to bring him down without solid evidence.

Just as Chen Jianjun said, having promiscuous relationships between men and women is of course an occupational crime.

But Li Huaide has someone behind him, and he himself holds a high position, so we cannot nail him down based on what the informant said.

If this is the case, then all officials will not be able to perform their job duties.

That is to say, after the wind starts, all order is destroyed. No evidence is needed to arrest you. Just say "I suspect you" and you are guilty!

Even if there is evidence that you were once a hero.

"Dad, what is the evidence?" Chen Li couldn't help but ask.

"The evidence is that you stole your elder brother's meat and I saw it with my own eyes, so I can spank you." Chen Jianjun explained with a smile.

"I won't steal the meat from the big pot. I live with the big pot, and everything in the big pot belongs to me. This is not stealing, this is taking!"

The little foodie said proudly.

"Nonsense, what belongs to your eldest brother belongs to your eldest brother." The old man blew his beard and glared.

Chen Li didn't dare to talk back to the old man. She pretended not to see him or hear what he said, and gave a piece of fat meat to her father.

She used to like eating fatty meat, even if it was squeezed several times by the old lady.

However, after eating too much barbecue, she no longer likes this kind of fatty meat, even if it is only lightly fried in oil, even if there are better ones.

“If someone asks you to deal with work style issues, you must be responsible inside the factory, but don’t interfere outside the factory.” The old lady smiled and picked up some vegetables for her granddaughter, which made the little girl a little depressed.

Chen Li likes to eat meat, and even though she eats so much, she doesn’t gain weight.

The old lady didn't have too many ideas of favoring boys over girls, she just thought it was not good for her granddaughter to eat too much meat and not like to eat vegetables.

"Mom, I know." Chen Jianjun nodded and replied, "Even if someone asked me to do this, I wouldn't do it. I'm in the security department, not the police station."

The security department's responsibilities are within the factory, and their job is to investigate work styles, catch thieves, and conduct counter-espionage.

But outside the factory, it is no longer their working area.

Another reason is that even if Li Huaide was caught on the spot, the consequences of having an affair between a man and a woman could be serious or minor, depending on how much effort he put behind the scene.

If word gets out, nearby residents may not think that Chen Jianjun is enforcing the law properly.

On the contrary, everyone is more likely to change their stance, feeling sorry for Qin Huairu, who is from a disadvantaged group, and think that he is meddling in other people's business.

It has only been eleven years since the end of the Republic of China, and the thinking of most people is not as "modernized" and "feminist" as in later generations. It is not only very common for widows to depend on certain types of people in order to survive, but it is also secretly forgiven by everyone.

What else can we do? Let their whole family starve to death?

The old lady actually has the same attitude!

"That's good. With Li Huaide, Qin Huairu doesn't have to come to our house every day to try to please you." The old man didn't think it was a big deal. As someone who had experienced this, he actually supported polygamy.

All the bigwigs in the Republic of China had three wives and four concubines.

It would be embarrassing to tell others that an old man doesn't have many beautiful wives and concubines.

However, the old lady was very powerful when she was young, and then she joined the revolution. He could only think of her in his dreams and miss his lost youth.

But what’s interesting is that the old lady doesn’t allow the old man to engage in feudal and backward things, but hopes that her sons and grandsons will marry more wives and have more children.

Of course, polygamy is not allowed now, but triple marriage is allowed!

They chatted while having lunch. Li Jie, Zhu Lin and others came to play with Chen Li. They saw the peach petals soaked in well water in the study and started talking about them and craving for them for a while.

"Is it cold?"

Chen Feng went in carrying a coal stove and a kettle of water. The kettle was filled with warm well water that had been specially cooled. Chen Li and her group of little kids were all impatient. Once they were thirsty, they couldn't wait for the water to cool down, and often drank the cold well water directly from the bucket.

The old lady was worried that drinking like this would damage the spleen and stomach, so she boiled the water and let it cool for a while before putting it into the kettle.

For the sake of the little girl, the old man took good care of her.

"It's not cold!" Zhu Zhu slid down the slide.

"If it's cold, just warm yourself by the fire." Chen Feng opened the window to ensure that the house was well ventilated to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning.

The girls were busy playing and no one came to bake.

Zhu Lin was leaning on the head of Chen Li's bed and reviewing her homework, which was very rare. Every time she came to Chen's house before, she was either playing or reading novels.

"If you're thirsty, drink the water from this kettle. I put sugar in it."

"Thank you, big pot. I want some!"

Chen Li immediately slid down from above.

"I also want!"

"Give me a drink!" Zhu Lin shouted with a smile on the bed.

"do it yourself!"

Chen Li is very strong and she easily picks up the kettle and pours water into the cups one by one.

Three more were waiting for her.
