Chapter 296 Li Li loose mouth divorce
That night, Li Li approached Ling Jiang to negotiate, "I figured it out, 20 a month is 20, but in addition to money, you have to give our mother and child an extra bag of rice every month."
The rice at the grain and oil station is usually in three sizes: 10 jin, 20 jin and 50 jin. Ling Jiang thought for a while and agreed.
"Well, in addition to the living expenses of 20 yuan, I will buy you an extra 10 catties of rice every month."
"Where is 10 catties enough to eat, at least 20 catties!"
"It's only 10 catties, if it's not enough, you can figure out how to do it yourself."
After finishing speaking, Ling Jiang showed a bit of indignation on his face, "When you were in charge before, the family said that 10 catties of rice could last half a year. Now you and Jiale are living together, and 10 catties of rice a month is not enough? Cooperating with us The Ling family is only worthy of bran pickled vegetables, and your Li family are delicate and expensive, and you want to eat rice every day?"
Li Li knew she was wrong, so she could only accept Ling Jiang's conditions.
"10 catties is 10 catties, let's go to a middleman tomorrow, sign the divorce agreement first, and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the formalities in the afternoon!"
After the negotiation was completed, Li Li immediately went back to the house and began to pack her luggage.
Ling Jiang sat in the room smoking a smoky cigarette, staring at the dark night outside the window in a daze.
"dad."
Daughter Ling Chunhua stood in front of him at some point, her little face was full of concern.
Ling Jiang put the pipe aside, took his daughter's hand, and tried to show a kind smile on his face, "Chunhua, have you finished all the homework assigned by your aunt?"
"Well, it's all over."
Ling Chunhua nodded, raised her hand and stroked Ling Jiang's brow back and forth, "Dad, you are frowning here."
Ling Jiang smiled and held her hand, "Because Dad is old, and wrinkles will appear on his face when he gets old."
Ling Chunhua shook her head in disapproval, "Dad is not old, Dad just has troubles, that's why he wrinkled here."
Looking at his sensible and caring daughter, Ling Jiang's troubled mood immediately felt some comfort and appropriateness.
"Chunhua, from now on, you and Dad will live together, just the two of us, do you think it's okay?"
Ling Chunhua showed great doubts on her small face, "What about Mom and Jiale?"
"They go back to the countryside and live with grandpa."
"Then don't we have to go to the countryside to accompany grandpa? Or, we can also bring grandpa to live at home."
Daughter's pure kindness made Ling Jiang have mixed feelings, but thinking of her daughter's hardships and harsh treatment in the past, Ling Jiang secretly became angry with Li Li.
"Our family is too small to accommodate too many people. From now on, your mother and Jiale will live in the country, and we will live in the city. When we are free, we can go to the country to see them and grandpa."
"All right."
Looking at her daughter's ignorant face, Ling Jiang felt a little uncomfortable.
In the matter of divorce, what he owes the most is his daughter Ling Chunhua.
After taking care of Ling Chunhua and falling asleep, Ling Jiang pushed his bicycle and went out alone.
"Brother, why are you here so late? Come in quickly."
Ling Chuan opened the gate of the courtyard house, saw Ling Jiang standing outside the door in a chilly body, and hurriedly beckoned him to come in.
Ling Jiang parked his bicycle in the yard, and looked in the direction of the main house, "It's so late, siblings are still studying?"
"Well, she is about to take the final exam, and the study task is relatively heavy."
Ling Jiang nodded, and whispered: "Chuanzi, you have to take good care of your siblings, don't let her wear you down."
"Don't worry, brother, I will."
Afraid of affecting his daughter-in-law's study, Ling Chuan took Ling Jiang to a warehouse far away from the main house.
In order to facilitate accounting, Ling Chuan converted one of the four warehouses into an office, and added old desks and sofa chairs, making it very convenient for chatting and chatting.
"Brother, what's the matter with you coming here so late?"
Ling Jiang sighed leisurely, "Your sister-in-law agreed to the divorce. She said that she will find someone to sign the divorce agreement tomorrow, and she will go through the formalities in the afternoon."
Ling Chuan was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Is it on the terms we discussed?"
Ling Jiang nodded, "In addition to money, she also wants rice. I agree, and I will give them 10 catties a month."
Now the price of rice is around 25 cents, and 10 catties of rice is 2 yuan 5, which is not a lot.
"Brother, I will accompany you tomorrow."
Ling Jiang thought the same in his heart. He always felt that he had no idea by himself, so he came to discuss with his brother at night.
"Will it delay your business?"
"Brother, your matter is more important than business. After the matter between you and sister-in-law is settled, we two brothers will work hard in the future and strive for a good year."
Hearing what his younger brother said, Ling Jiang's depressed heart suddenly ignited hope and dawn.
He had been doing small jewelry business for more than two months, and he had originally made some money, but it was a pity that Zhu Hongping and Li Li, the fine mother and daughter, made all of it.
Now that he is divorced, he no longer has to worry about the future.
"By the way, Chuanzi, how do you and your siblings arrange for the New Year?"
Ling Chuan hesitated for a while, "I can't say for now, I might accompany Momo back to my hometown in Anshi."
Ling Jiang nodded quickly, "It should be. When you got married, the family members of your siblings didn't come over. As a son-in-law, you should come to visit the elders and the elderly."
After talking about the matter, Ling Jiang got up and prepared to go back, "Chuanzi, go to bed early, I'll go back first."
Ling Chuan subconsciously asked to stay, "Brother, it's so late, and it's cold, just sleep here for one night and go back tomorrow morning."
Ling Jiang waved his hand, "Chunhua is still at home, I am worried."
Hearing this, Ling Chuan didn't persuade him much, but went back to the house and took a brand new and bright flashlight.
"Brother, here is a flashlight for you, so that it can shine on the places where there are no lights on the road."
Looking at the shiny silver aluminum shell of the flashlight, Ling Jiang showed a bit of joy on his face, "When did you buy it?"
"Bought it today, I bought two, I keep one at home, this is just for you."
Hearing this, Ling Jiang immediately declined, "No, no, I don't want it. I'll return it to you tomorrow when I run out."
"Brother, put it away. It's getting dark early now. You will help me with things in the future. It must be too late to get home after work. There is a flashlight to illuminate the road, so as not to fall in the dark."
Ling Jiang hesitated, "Then I'll pay you the money, how much?"
"No, the battery inside is newly installed, use it sparingly, it can be used for about 5 or 6 hours, remember to change the battery when the time comes."
"Okay, I see."
After sending Ling Jiang away, Ling Chuan closed the door, and when he turned around, he saw his daughter-in-law standing under the eaves with her hot water bottle in her arms.
He hurriedly greeted her with a smile, "Daughter-in-law, are you done with your work? I'll go get you hot milk right away."
"not busy."
Yunmo called him to stop, "Brother came so late, what's the matter?"
Ling Chuan did not hide anything about Li Li agreeing to divorce.
Knowing that Li Li agreed to the divorce so readily, Yun Mo was slightly surprised.
She originally thought that with Li Li's money-greedy temperament, she would have to entangle with Ling Jiang for a period of time, and she would let go only after receiving satisfactory benefits.
But it’s understandable when you think about it, no matter how good the money is, life is so important.
