Reborn before the famine, kicking away the scumbag's family and living a carefree life.

12. Building a house (4)

Meanwhile, Su Jinru's house is under construction in full swing.

The workers in the team started discussing it in the fields.

Teacher Qi and Su Jinru have actually divorced! Why?

This is everyone's question.

Su Jinru was the most beautiful and capable girl in the village, and the dream girl of all eligible men in the surrounding villages.

Teacher Qi was the object of all the girls' admiration. They were the most compatible couple in terms of appearance and overall conditions. However, the most compatible couple in people's eyes got divorced.

The village is full of couples who argue and fight every day, creating all sorts of farces. These couples, who provide amusement for everyone, sometimes fight until they're bleeding, sometimes they're arguing as if they're about to die, but no matter how much they fight or argue, they never get divorced.

But couples like Su Jinru and Teacher Qi quietly got divorced without making a fuss, so everyone is very curious about why they divorced.

Dingxiang said, "I asked Aru why she wanted a divorce. Weren't you two always getting along well? She said you two were incompatible."

"What do you mean by incompatible personalities? If a couple never argues or fights, is that considered incompatible? But if they argue every day, what do you call that?"

"Those who argue all the time are called enemies."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"Teacher Qi really didn't hit or scold Aru?"

"How could Teacher Qi possibly hit her? He doesn't smoke or drink, he doesn't hit or curse people, and he speaks in a very refined manner!"

"How could Aru bear to divorce him? Why is that?"

"Who knows! He's had two kids and has no health problems. A man with no health issues like that, and yet he just dumped them and took both kids with him."

"What? Both children lived with Aru?"

Dingxiang: "Yes! Both children were taken back to Aru's parents' home."

"No wonder she wanted to build her own house! She can live with her parents if she's alone, but it's a bit cramped with two kids."

“Aru is capable. She got divorced yesterday and started building her own house today. Teacher Qi must have given her all the money in the house.”

Dingxiang: "No, she only brought a few clothes and a quilt. I heard that all the money in her family went to her parents-in-law for medical treatment, especially her mother-in-law, who has been sick for several years and takes medicine every day. Even though Teacher Qi has such a high salary, he used it all to buy medicine."

"Didn't her mother-in-law pass away a year ago? She should have saved up some money by now!"

"The debts incurred when my mother-in-law was sick still need to be repaid, don't we?"

"So, Aru doesn't have a single penny on her? That's impossible. If she didn't have a single penny, how could she build a house right after her divorce? She would have to pay for workers to build the house. If she didn't have any money, how could she be so generous?"

"People are paying workers because they want to get the house built as quickly as possible."

"Who doesn't want to build a house quickly? But there's nothing you can do if you don't have the money! When we built those three rooms, it took us two whole years."

"Who knows? Maybe it was her family's support!"

"I heard that Su Ke took out 100 yuan and gave it to Su Jinru."

"She also borrowed 100 from the team."

"I also want to borrow money from the team, but I can't seem to get it!"

"The team leader said that Su Jinru is pitiful because of her divorce, and the team should help her."

"I'm so poor I have nothing to eat, I'm quite pitiful, could you lend me some?"

"Go ask the captain. He'll say you're the one who's pitiful."

……

With many hands making light work, Su Jinru's house had its foundation completed in just two days.

The next step is to build a large foundation. Once the foundation is large enough for three houses, then you can start building the walls.

Fortunately, the weather was sunny during this period, and the excavated soil base dried quickly.

That evening, after finishing work, Su Jinru and her family sat at home having dinner.

The second younger sister, Su Jinquan, and her husband, Cao Yunhua, have returned.

As soon as they entered the room and saw Su Jinru, Su Jinquan went straight to his older sister's side, his eyes red.

"Big sister, I heard you got divorced, is that true?"

"It's true, you came back for this?"

"Of course I came back for this. Divorce, a huge deal! How could I not come back?"

Looking at her second sister's red eyes, Su Jinru smiled and said, "So what if it's a divorce? It's not the end of the world."

"Why did you get divorced, sister? Why did you get divorced?"

“I don’t want to live with him anymore! Second sister, have you eaten yet? If not, sit down and eat with me. Don’t ask me why I want a divorce anymore. I hear that question eight hundred times a day. These past two days, everyone who sees me has asked me that question. My ears are calloused from hearing it.”

Seeing his older sister's indifferent expression, Su Jinquan became even more anxious.

"I just want to know, why is that? Did your brother-in-law bully you?"

“He didn’t bully me, but he looked down on me deep down. That kind of contempt is more unbearable than being beaten. Many people ask me why he doesn’t hit or scold me. If he did hit or scold me, at least it would show that he still cares about me. That kind of contempt and indifference is more unbearable than being killed with a knife.”

Su Jinquan: "My brother-in-law does look down on people and is cold to them, but it doesn't warrant a divorce!"

Su Jinru: "He's just cold to me and my family, but he's so warm to everyone else! So I can't stand it. I, Su Jinru, am neither stupid nor stupid. Why should I serve their whole family and let him not see through me?"

"Didn't you already take care of your parents-in-law and send them to the mountains? Now he's all alone."

"Besides, don't all men have their flaws? If they get divorced, what will happen to the children? Won't the world fall into chaos? My brother-in-law, he..."

Su Jinru: "Stop calling him brother-in-law. From now on, call him Qi Zhengyang, or Teacher Qi, whatever you want. Just don't call him brother-in-law anymore. We're divorced, we have no relationship anymore."

The second sister wanted to say something more.

Su Jinru said, "Don't say anything more. I know you care about me and feel sorry for me. You're back, so let's have a good chat. But don't bring up the divorce again. Mom has just calmed down, and you keep coming back. I don't care about the divorce, but I'm being bombarded with questions by you all."

Cao Yunhua also tugged at his wife.

"Yes! If our eldest sister doesn't want to talk about it, then let's not. Let's not keep reopening old wounds."

My mother sighed, "Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. It's even reached Xiaoben Village."

Su Jinru: "For me, divorce is a new beginning, not a scar. I don't want to mention it again because I feel it's not worth bringing up again and again. I have many more important things to do. Besides, no one believes me when I say that my divorce is not a bad thing. What's the point of explaining it to you again and again?"
