Lin Mai had a bad impression of her to begin with, and he felt very disgusted when he saw her being so pretentious, tempting her, and waiting for her to ask.
He said calmly: "Since eldest sister doesn't want to talk, then I'll leave."
As soon as she said these words, the eldest sister immediately spoke: "Since you are Xiaotao's good friend, you should persuade her not to divorce her man.
A man as good as her pony could not be found even with a lantern.
If I don’t buy this for her today, I’ll buy her that tomorrow. Whose man loves his wife so much? It’s just like her man.”
At this point, the neighbor's sister lowered her voice and said mysteriously: "I heard that her aunt is here. Her man bought her toilet paper and washed her dirty underwear."
There was an old lady at the neighbor's house. She heard them chatting about Tao Zhiyun and walked out of the house.
He said to Lin Mai with a tone of solid evidence: "There must be someone outside Xiaotao, so he is making a fuss about divorcing his man.
This woman, once she changes her heart, is even more hard-hearted than a man."
What Lin Mai hates most is talking about other people's family affairs.
It is difficult for an honest official to deal with household affairs, let alone how much truth can you know as a neighbor!
He immediately laughed and said, "How can you be so sure that Sister Tao has someone outside, and not her man?"
The old lady curled her lips: "Xiao Tao got pregnant out of wedlock. Isn't it normal for such a casual woman to have an affair with Hong Xing?"
Seeing Lin Mai's face gradually darken, the neighbor's sister hurriedly pushed the old lady into the house: "Mom, just stop saying a few words."
She turned back and smiled at Lin Mai: "My mother doesn't mean any harm, she just wants Xiao Tao and his wife to live a good life."
"You've already spread rumors about Sister Yun, and you said there's no harm in it!" Lin Mai snarled and left.
In the room, the old lady was so angry that she stamped her feet: "It's true that people are divided into groups and birds of a feather flock together. Whatever Xiao Tao is, her friends are just like that!"
The neighbor's sister was afraid that Lin Mai would hear her, so she quickly closed the door.
Lin Mai found Tao Zhiyun's natal home based on the address told by the neighbor's eldest sister.
Tao Zhiyun's natal family has a house with two bedrooms and one living room. In this era of housing shortage, such housing conditions are quite good. At first glance, it looks like a cadre family.
Tao Ma is a well-dressed and well-maintained old lady.
After hearing that Lin Mai said that she was Tao Zhiyun's friend, Tao's mother enthusiastically let her into the house, opened a soda for her and brought her some fruit.
Lin Mai hurriedly said: "Auntie, you don't have to be busy. Sister Tao and I will meet and leave after saying a few words."
There was a smile on Tao's mother's face: "I want to talk to you, okay?"
Although her request was a bit strange, Lin Mai still smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Tao's mother sat down in front of her, wrung her hands back and forth, and then hesitantly said: "Xiao Lin, can you help me persuade Zhiyun to prevent her from getting a divorce?"
Lin Mai was drinking soda and almost choked when he heard this.
Why don't two people want Tao Zhiyun to divorce? Is her husband so good?
She asked: "Why?"
Tao's mother sighed worriedly: "People's words are terrible! If you get divorced, how will Zhiyun be able to gain a foothold in the factory in the future? People will point fingers wherever you go."
In this era, divorced men are rarely looked down upon by others, but divorced women are despised, as if they have done something immoral.
Although people's words are scary, as long as you ignore them, no one can do anything to you!
Lin Mai said softly: "Although divorce will have a great impact on Sister Tao, if we don't divorce, Sister Tao will live in pain, so it's better to get a divorce~"
Tao’s mother hated iron and said, “She feels pain now?
When she was friends with her man, our whole family objected, why didn't she listen?"
Tao's mother said with disdain: "Her husband's academic qualifications and family background are not worthy of hers!"
They took a fancy to her and our family's conditions, so they approached her intentionally.
Ke Zhiyun, a fool, mistook someone else's ulterior motives for his deep love for her and insisted on marrying her.
Now that the child is two years old, she can see the true face of her man clearly, but it is already too late."
She sighed helplessly: "Go and persuade Zhiyun, it's already like this, you can just turn a blind eye and live your life.
Although her man is nothing, he doesn't hit her at all.
If you meet a man who beats a woman, your life will be miserable!"
Lin Mai said perfunctorily: "I will advise Sister Tao later."
She looked around and asked, "Where's Sister Tao? Why isn't she here?"
Tao's mother was a little embarrassed and hesitated: "Zhiyun was so angry that she moved out because we persuaded her not to divorce. I will take you to find her."
Lin Mai hurriedly said: "Auntie, just tell me the address. I'll find it myself."
Tao's mother had already stood up: "Zhiyun lives in a village in the city. It's hard to find the address, so I'll take you there. Anyway, I want to see Qiqi."
Lin Mai wanted to leave the things she bought at Tao's mother's house, but Tao's mother insisted on taking her with her.
He said that Tao Zhiyun's mother and son were living a hard life outside, so these things were given to Qiqi.
She also took snacks and candies from the pantry and brought them with her.
Lin Mai had no choice but to carry those things and go to Tao Zhiyun's residence with Tao's mother.
It was indeed difficult to find Tao Zhiyun's residence. Lin Mai followed Tao's mother through the spider web-like paths of the village in the city for a long time before arriving at a bungalow with a small courtyard.
When they walked into the yard, Tao Zhiyun was washing clothes vigorously under the public faucet in the yard, while Qiqi was squatting aside and scribbling on the ground with a branch.
Seeing Lin Mai and Tao Ma, Xiao Douding was stunned for a moment, then threw the branch in his hand and ran happily towards Tao Ma, shouting: "Grandma!"
Tao's mother picked up Qiqi and said, "Grandma's baby has lost weight!"
His tone was full of distress.
Tao Zhiyun, who had his back to Lin Mai and Tao Ma, turned around, saw them, and asked with some surprise: "Why are you here?"
As he spoke, he washed his soapy hands under the faucet, and then invited Lin Mai and the others to sit in the room.
Tao's mother said disgustedly: "There is a strange smell in there, I won't go in.
Why do you say you insist on getting a divorce? Even your children will suffer from you!"
Tao Zhiyun said nothing.
Tao's mother sighed, put Qiqi on the ground, handed the things in her hands to Tao Zhiyun, and staggered away.
Tao Zhiyun felt very uncomfortable when he saw her leaving.
After waiting for Tao Ma's figure to disappear from sight, she forced a smile and led Lin Mai into the house. An unpleasant smell hit her nostrils.
The layout of the bungalow that Tao Zhiyun rented is exactly the same as that of Lin Mai's bungalow in Sanyang Village.
There is a lobby room in the middle and two rooms on each side.
The main room was full of clutter, so it smelled bad.
Tao Zhiyun rented one of the rooms.
She led Qiqi and Lin Mai through the debris, came to the door of her house, took out the key and opened the door.
A shirtless, vulgar man walked out of another room. The man turned to look at Lin Mai and Tao Zhiyun.
Those sticky eyes flicked around the sensitive areas of the two of them several times.
I wish I had clairvoyance eyes so I could see through clothes.
Lin Mai was so sick that he almost vomited.
Being a neighbor with such a man is too dangerous!
As soon as he entered the house, Lin Mai said to Tao Zhiyun: "I think you should find another place to live. That man just now didn't look like a good guy."
Tao Zhiyun said helplessly: "You think renting a house is so easy, but it's not easy to rent."
These days, few people have vacant houses, so renting a house is really not easy.
Lin Mai asked puzzledly: "Don't you have housing in your work unit? Why did you move out?"
Tao Zhiyun poured Lin Mai a glass of cold water and said with a wry smile: "Didn't you just hear that my mother said that I was getting a divorce? How could I get a divorce if I didn't move out with Qiqi?"
