On May 5, 1996, Qiao Sanli and Zhao Hao held a banquet at the Jinling Hotel.
Qiao Simei took the train back from the capital early. The night before the wedding, Qiao Simei hugged her sister and cried for two hours.
When Qiao Sanli got married, she chose Wang Gang's house as her natal family and did not return to Shamao Lane.
It was also at Wang Gang's place that Zhao Hao got married.
Wang Gang married Qiao Sanli, which was not much different from marrying his daughter. It can be said that Qiao Sanli was brought up by him and Qiao Yicheng.
Although Qiao Zuwang felt that it was a bit unseemly not to go back to Shamao Lane to pick up the bride, he still pinched his nose and admitted it.
On the wedding day, Qiao Yicheng also cried. He was very sad and almost handed his sister over to Zhao Hao with tears in his eyes.
The brother and sister cried and said goodbye.
Zhao Hao repeatedly promised that he would treat Qiao Sanli well, and Qiao Yicheng only let her go.
Qiao Sanli got married, but her sister-in-law Wen Ju'an never showed up. Qiao Yicheng explained that his wife had to go to class and it was not easy to ask for leave. She would definitely be there for the wedding banquet in the evening.
Wang Gang didn't care at first. Xiang Nanfang was also busy with work and couldn't be there during the day.
However, when Xiang Nanfang arrived, Wen Ju'an still didn't come, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
"Brother, why hasn't sister-in-law come yet? Do you want to find someone to pick her up?" Wang Gang asked Qiao Yicheng.
Qiao Yicheng said nonchalantly: "It's okay, don't wait for her, let Zhao Hao start the dinner."
Wang Gang and Xiang Nannan looked at each other and guessed that something was wrong with Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an.
In order not to affect Qiao Sanli's wedding banquet, Wang Gang could only suppress his curiosity and wait until the wedding banquet was over.
Nowadays, when getting married, there are not so many tricks, and there is no need to invite a master of ceremonies. At most, the couple comes on stage to thank the guests, and the parents come on stage to say a few words of encouragement.
In Zhao Hao's family, it was Zhao's father who took the stage, but the next one was not Qiao Zuwang, but Qiao Yicheng, the bride's eldest brother.
When Qiao Zuwang saw Qiao Sanli's arrangement, his nose became angry and he almost walked away.
In the end, Wang Gang held his shoulders and threatened: "You have to pretend until the wedding banquet is over."
Qiao Zuwang was shocked to find that not only could he not move, he could not even speak. Only his eyes could move, and he was full of fear.
Xiang Nannan wanted to persuade her husband, but after seeing Wang Gang's cold eyes, he swallowed all his words.
Anyone who knows the Qiao family knows that there is no family relationship between father and son. Qiao Zuwang can attend his daughter's wedding today just because of that blood relationship.
After Qiao Yicheng came on stage to speak, the wedding was successfully completed. Qiao Sanli and Zhao Hao returned to their new house together in the evening.
In recent years, Zhao Hao has been doing business in the capital and has made a lot of money. He has shown excellent business talent. He not only opened a dance studio for Qiao Sanli, but also bought a new house of more than 100 square meters in Jinling.
Originally, Qiao Zuwang wanted to give Zhao Hao a fortune when he saw that he had made a fortune, but Wang Gang and Qiao Yicheng jointly put pressure on him and finally gave up.
This is also the reason why Wang Gang is so fond of Qiao Zuwang.
After the wedding, Wang Gang let Qiao Zu look back to Shamao Lane. He felt a little disappointed, and Qiao Yicheng felt the same.
"Second Qiang, go back!" Qiao Yicheng sighed, as lonely as an old father losing his daughter.
"Brother, tell me honestly, is there something wrong between you and your sister-in-law?" Wang Gang asked Xiang Nanfang to take Qiao Simei and Qiao Qiqi home, while he stayed to question Qiao Yicheng.
Qiao Yicheng couldn't hide it anymore, so he told the truth.
"Your sister-in-law and I are getting divorced!"
Wang Gang said in surprise: "You guys had a quarrel, how did you get divorced?"
Qiao Yicheng and Wen Ju'an fell in love passionately at the beginning. After getting married, although there were frictions from time to time, they never mentioned divorce.
"Is it because of the children?" Wang Gang guessed.
Qiao Yicheng shook his head silently, but did not speak.
"Don't ask, I will definitely divorce this marriage." Qiao Yicheng said bitterly.
Wang Gang frowned and asked in confusion: "Have you really decided?"
Qiao Yicheng sighed: "Yes, it's decided, no one can persuade me."
Wang Gang knew Qiao Yicheng well, and he would never bring up divorce unless it was absolutely necessary.
As the younger brother, it is not easy for Wang Gang to interfere in his brother's marriage.
"How can I help?" Wang Gang sighed.
Qiao Yicheng thought for a while and asked, "I know you have a lot of connections, can you introduce me to a better lawyer?"
Wang Gang said in surprise: "Didn't you agree to divorce?"
Qiao Yicheng said: "Your sister-in-law wants a house."
"You bought the house with your money and you repaid the loan. She barely paid a penny, so why should she want the house?" Wang Gang said angrily: "Is it her mother's idea?"
Qiao Yicheng said bitterly: "Her mother said that since her daughter has been with me for so many years, the house will be treated as youth loss money."
Wang Gang couldn't bear it anymore.
"Don't you have nothing to lose? If Wen Ju'an hadn't refused to have children, you wouldn't have been childless in your thirties."
"Second Qiang, please let me handle the divorce matter myself!" Qiao Yicheng said.
"You must not give her the house, otherwise where will you live after the divorce? It will be difficult to find another one," Wang Gang reminded.
"I know it well!" Qiao Yicheng sighed.
Wang Gang realized that Qiao Yicheng was not in a good mood, so he said no more and just promised to introduce him to a lawyer.
Later, Wang Gang made inquiries and found out that the reason why Qiao Yicheng was so determined to divorce was because Wen Ju'an had someone outside.
Wen Ju'an was very close to a Chinese teacher in school. The teacher was quite old, in his forties and almost fifty, and he was also divorced.
After Wang Gang learned about this, he finally understood why Qiao Yicheng didn't let him intervene.
For any man, it is a difficult hurdle for any man to overcome when his wife wears a bonnet.
But Wang Gang was very confused as to who Wen Ju'an should choose, and why he chose an old man who was almost fifty years old.
Later, it was Xiang Nanfang who solved his doubts.
"I have always felt that Wen Ju'an seems to be more interested in older men and has almost no contact with men of the same age. Didn't he and his eldest brother also have a teacher-student relationship?"
Wang Gang opened his mouth in surprise and didn't recover for a long time.
"Wen Ju'an grew up with his mother. He may have lacked father's love, so that's why he behaved like this." Xiang Nanfang added.
Wang Gang sighed and said: "Actually, I wasn't optimistic about my eldest brother and Wen Ju'an at the beginning. When they got married, it was impulsive.
Wen Ju'an doesn't look like a wife after marriage."
Xiang Nannan asked doubtfully: "Then why didn't you stop your eldest brother from marrying Wen Ju'an?"
"We are brothers, how can we stop it? Who am I to stop it?" Wang Gang shook his head and said, "My eldest brother and Wen Ju'an have suffered a lot in getting married. No matter how much I stop it, my brothers will have nothing to do."
Xiang Nanfang also understands that even if he is a brother who grew up together, he cannot interfere in some things, otherwise he will definitely get worse the more he does.
"Lawyer Yu said that in my eldest brother's situation, the house can definitely be saved, but a sum of money must be given to Wen Ju'an, otherwise the marriage will not be divorced so easily."
Wang Gang snorted coldly: "She is carrying her husband and stealing from him. She is at fault. She still wants money. It's not that easy!"
"What do you want to do?" Xiang Nannan asked worriedly.
"As a teacher, Wen Ju'an should not be punished for doing such an immoral thing?"
Xiang Nanfang said: "Cheating is a moral issue and there is no way to convict it."
"Humph, the law can't control her, but she will also be condemned morally." Wang Gang said angrily.
Xiang Nanfang advised: "I think the eldest brother still has feelings for Wen Ju'an. If you go too far, the person you will hurt in the end is the eldest brother."
"Brother, that's too kind. If it were me..."
Xiang Nanfang glared at Wang Gang.
"Of course, you are not Wen Ju'an, and you will never do anything sorry to me." Wang Gang quickly changed his words.
"Let me tell you, you'd better not get involved in my eldest brother's divorce. I don't want my affairs to become known to the world." Xiang Nannan said, holding Wang Gang's arm.
After Wang Gang thought about it carefully, he also felt that Xiang Nanfang was right. Although Wen Ju'an was hateful, once the incident came out, Qiao Yicheng would also be embarrassed.
In the end, Wang Gang decided to let Wen Ju'an go for the time being and wait until the divorce was finalized before settling the score with Wen Ju'an.
But what Wang Gang didn't expect was that Qiao Simei learned about Wen Ju'an's cheating from somewhere and told Qiao Zuwang.
This can be considered as poking a hornet's nest. Qiao Zuwang is a fool. As soon as he heard that Wen Ju'an refused to give birth to his son and was cheating on his husband, he and Qiao Simei immediately went to the elementary school where Wen Ju'an worked.
When Qiao Zuwang saw Wen Ju'an, he slapped him in the face, which made Wen Ju'an stunned.
"Where is your concubine? I know he is also a teacher in this school." Qiao Zuwang angrily put his hands on his waist and shouted to Wen Ju'an.
The surrounding teachers saw Qiao Zuwang beating someone and hurriedly came to stop him. Only a man in his forties or fifties left in the opposite direction.
Qiao Simei was thoughtful and had better eyesight, and she could see the man right away.
"Dad, that is my sister-in-law's mistress!" Qiao Simei shouted.
When the man heard the sound, he staggered in fright and almost fell down.
Now the whole school knew about Wen Ju'an's cheating.
