After the female supporting character in the quick transmigration series realized her mistakes
Chapter 2: The Abandoned First Wife (2)
Luo Qicai also had a good impression of Zeng Min, whom he had just met, and the two had a pleasant conversation.
In the following days, Zeng Min deliberately created several more "chance encounters," gradually winning over Luo Qicai's favor.
After observing Luo Qicai carefully for half a month, Zeng Min gradually understood his true character. He was a traditional male chauvinist, or selfish.
Men of this type usually have a strong desire for control and self-awareness. They crave to be the absolute master of the family and hope that their wives will completely obey and follow them at home.
In the eyes of most men today, the ideal marriage model should be "the man is in charge of external affairs, and the woman is in charge of internal affairs".
They believe that men should shoulder the responsibility of supporting their families (and care about nothing else except going to work).
Women, on the other hand, only need to manage the household, take good care of their husbands and children, and do cleaning, laundry, and cooking.
Therefore, he hopes that his future partner will be a gentle and virtuous (beautiful and lovely), understanding (gentle and charming), and unconditionally supportive of all his ideas.
Such a woman would make Luo Qicai feel satisfied and proud, because she fully reflects his status and value as the head of the family.
At the same time, only such a partner can satisfy Luo Qicai's deep-seated desire to protect.
Therefore, Zeng Min decided to play the role of a kind and gentle woman.
She specially wore a pair of military trousers and a floral shirt that she had been reluctant to wear for a long time, put on a fresh and light makeup, and picked wild vegetables by the field at the crossroads, as this was the only place where she could run into Luo Qicai.
Therefore, it was only natural that Luo Qicai fell in love with Zeng Min at first sight after their "accidental" meeting.
After several such encounters, Luo Qicai gained the "initiative" and orchestrated several "chance meetings" with Zeng Min.
Gradually, the two began to interact and even had pleasant conversations. Zeng Min also gradually showed her affection for Luo Qicai.
This "chance encounter" seemed to be meticulously planned by fate. Just after Zeng Min intentionally showed that she was moved, Luo Qicai confessed his feelings.
In the days that followed, Zeng Min gradually became attracted to Luo Qicai's charm; she became dependent on him and admired him…
Luo Qicai became increasingly immersed in Zeng Min's admiration, and he enjoyed seeing the light in Zeng Min's eyes.
Every time Zeng Min praised him, he felt a surge of satisfaction, which also made him more confident and motivated.
Luo Qicai felt that Zeng Min understood him. Zeng Min could express full emotion in every word he said and tried her best to understand his views and thoughts.
She would encourage and support Luo Qicai when he was talking big, making him feel warm and empowered.
Their feelings for each other deepened through mutual admiration and support.
As the year went by, their relationship stabilized.
When Zeng Min was seventeen, they got married. After their wedding night, the two gradually became sweet to each other, and Luo Qicai handed over all his property.
Since he started working, his first year's salary was 18 yuan, which he handed over entirely to his family. In the second half of the second year, he earned 20 yuan, but he only handed over 18 yuan. His family was unaware that he had received a raise.
I had two yuan of pocket money. In the third year, my salary was 22 yuan. I gave 9 yuan to my family, and I could save 13 yuan a month.
The more than 170 yuan saved over two years was mostly spent on Zeng Min.
They bought Zeng Min all sorts of food, clothes, and other necessities. Although his parents paid for the bride price, they still spent quite a bit on various other things.
The two married in early 1963. In the early days of their marriage, they were inseparable and deeply in love. Zeng Min was also very fertile, and she became pregnant in the second month.
Otherwise, you'll have to go to work. After all, you can be lazy at your parents' home, but you can't at your husband's home, where several sisters-in-law are watching you!
So, relying on her husband's job in the city and his salary, Zeng Min stayed home during her pregnancy, doing only cooking, sweeping, and feeding the chickens.
The following year, her son Luo Anlin was born.
After two years, my mother-in-law and three sisters-in-law had a lot of complaints about me not working.
The mother-in-law often tried to sow discord between her husband and her husband. The husband was easily swayed and would get angry whenever she provoked him, but Zeng Min would always coax him into getting over it in bed.
Two years passed in the blink of an eye, and in the third year, Zeng Min was supposed to coax Luo Qicai into taking her to live in the city. Luo Qicai also promised her that they could go to the city once the house was allocated.
When the houses were finally allocated, chaos broke out in the city again in 66, so we had to wait. Little did we know that this wait would lead to trouble.
That bastard Luo Qicai has a mistress in the city, and this woman was introduced to him by his cousin. Can you believe it?
Zeng Min was unaware of this originally; she only discovered it by chance when she went to the city to visit Luo Qicai.
Fortunately, she was quick-witted. When she noticed that her husband was distracted when he came home, Zeng Min realized this and went to the city to inquire about the matter, which led her to discover the secret.
Zeng Min didn't go up and make a scene. If a man has strayed, no matter how much a scene you make, you can't win him back.
So Zeng Min secretly returned home, and while her husband was away, she sorted out the family's finances, then tried to get some more money from Luo Qicai, preparing for a divorce.
The year they got married, Luo Qicai became a permanent employee, earning 32 yuan a month. He didn't tell his family about the promotion, only that his salary had increased to 22 yuan.
Because I got married and had children, my salary is the same as my brothers' in the family. I give half of my salary to my family and keep the other half for my small family to save. This was the agreement my family made from the beginning.
Adding the 10 yuan that was kept from her, Luo Qicai gave Zeng Min 21 yuan a month. Luo Qicai kept the rest of the bonuses and extra income for himself, which he could use for socializing or accommodation outside. Since they ate and lived at home, Zeng Min could also save 21 yuan every month.
There are approximately 760 in three years.
Luo Qicai bought all the necessary daily necessities, such as soap, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and clothes, as well as food and clothing for the children. He never took any money that was handed to him.
I visit my parents' home four or five times a year and give them three or five yuan each. Although they have many faults, they have never mistreated me.
We should be filial to our parents as much as we can. Since our parents have money, our older brother and sister-in-law wouldn't dare to treat them badly.
Over the course of three years, I gave my parents fifty or sixty yuan. Each time I visited, the pastries and meats I bought were worth about twenty yuan. In total, I earned at most eighty yuan. Then, I would go to my parents' house and earn back the money by eating and taking things with me.
She doesn't do any housework at her husband's house, but she still uses money to supplement his family's income.
I've bought and used a lot of face cream and skincare products myself. Otherwise, how would I have such good skin? If I don't take care of myself and make myself look beautiful, how can I expect men to spend money on me?
Just by looking at how Luo Qicai would spend most of the night fussing over her every time he came back, you can tell how important it is for a woman to have a beautiful face and good skin.
Alas, it's a pity that even my beautiful face and skin couldn't keep a man with a wandering heart! It's true what they say, the wildflowers are always more fragrant than the flowers in the garden.
Zeng Min searched through her entire house and found only a little over 500 yuan.
There's no other way; I can't confront Luo Qicai now. I have to squeeze as much money out of him as possible while he feels guilty towards me.
I've already found out that the woman's name is Jiang Fengqin, and both her parents work at a machinery factory. Her father is the workshop director, and her mother is an office clerk.
Her parents' relatives and friends all worked in a machinery factory.
As for why Luo Qicai's cousin would introduce Jiang Fengqin to him? Isn't that obvious?
Luo Qicai was attracted to Jiang Fengqin's family background, while Jiang Fengqin was attracted to Luo Qicai as a person.
His cousin had her eye on Jiang Fengqin's connections and wanted to use them to help her husband advance his career.
Actually, her husband is doing quite well in the transportation team, and he even earns extra money. I don't understand why her cousin is so eager to help her husband build connections.
Of course, I learned all this during an evening chat with Luo Qicai.
Although Zeng Min and her cousin had never met, for some reason, Zeng Min was very resistant to her from the beginning.
