Zhao Qinglan remembered that Li Huai mentioned that he and his ex-wife Zhu Kexin also divorced in 1976, but he did not say the specific date.
Li Huai was the only light in her troubled life in her previous life.
It also plays an important role in her life.
She had many regrets in her previous life, and so did Li Huai.
Ever since Li Huai got divorced, his whole life seemed to be full of bad luck.
For the sake of being a father and a mother for two children, the younger son got into a fight with others and died.
In order to avenge his younger brother, the eldest son also committed a crime and went to prison, and was sentenced to death.
Li Huai retired early because his son was disheartened.
The meeting between the two of them is more like mutual redemption.
It's a pity that she got sick and left him alone again.
Zhao Qinglan sighed silently.
"Mom." Xiaoduo looked at her mother standing in a daze and shook her little hand.
Zhao Qinglan came back to her senses.
"Hey, let's find a place to stay first."
She has no plans to go back to her parents' home for the time being.
Just because she knew what her mother's family would look like.
In this county town, the mother and daughter really have no familiar relatives or friends except the Wang family.
Thinking of this, she led her daughter to a guest house far away from the Wang family.
As soon as he entered, Zhao Qinglan took out the letter of introduction he had issued before and his identity certificate.
Looking at the letter of introduction and then at the mother and daughter, the waiter became confused.
"You are locals, why are you still staying in a guest house?"
Zhao Qinglan's face became sad.
"Comrade, I don't want to either. My husband's family doesn't treat us as human beings. I just got divorced and didn't get anything. I can only bring my daughter to a guest house to stay for a few days."
As she spoke, she took out a few dollars she had in her pocket outside.
She was originally a coward, but after being kicked out of the Wang family in her previous life, she was forced to make a living and struggled in society for several years.
Being forced like this, I learned many survival skills.
Upon hearing this, the waiter, who was also a woman, looked at them with sympathy.
For the same price, he not only found the best house for the two of them to live in, but also told them to come to him for help if they needed anything.
Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but lament that in this era, although everyone's conditions are generally not good, people's hearts are so simple.
It was the same bag that she had brought with her when she left the Wang family before. Zhao Qinglan put her things away and let her daughter play with them.
When it was time for dinner, she took her daughter to a state-owned hotel to settle the matter.
At night, after her daughter fell asleep, Zhao Qinglan was lying there and thought of Li Huai again.
I am lucky enough to come back and try my best to save myself and my daughter Xiaoduo from the regrets. Can it also help Li Huai avoid his misfortunes?
…
It was late at night, but the Wang family was in trouble again.
Just because when Wang Dazhi put away the divorce certificate, he suddenly thought of his own little treasury.
When he took it out, he found that he had very little money and tickets left.
At first, before Wang Dazhi could react, he went out to question his parents.
The old couple who were woken up looked confused and had no idea what money and tickets were.
Wang Dazhi gathered his son and daughter together again and asked them sharply if they had taken his own money.
Wang Xiaofei and Wang Xiaoyan naturally denied that Wang Dazhi, who always doted on these two children, took action.
After being beaten until they were crying and howling, the two children still refused to admit that they had taken the money. Wang Dazhi was furious.
Mrs. Wang protected her eldest grandson and yelled at her son.
"Why are you hitting Xiaofei? Maybe it was that unconscionable bitch who took away our belongings with that money-losing thing."
Yes, Zhao Qinglan!
When he thought that Zhao Qinglan, a usually silent guy, had taken away his money, Wang Dazhi was almost furious.
He embarrassed himself, divorced himself, and now took away his money and votes.
"Zhao Qinglan, this bitch, I'm not done with her!" Wang Dazhi pounded the table in anger.
The Wang family didn't sleep well all night because they suddenly discovered that their money bills were missing.
Wang Dazhi had left a bad impression on the factory director and leader Yi Gan before, and he did not dare to ask for leave at will again.
Early the next morning, he hurried to the factory to "perform" his work.
But Mrs. Wang and her wife were not idle.
After their grandchildren went to school, they both left the house.
When she thought of Zhao Qinglan taking away the Wang family's belongings, Mrs. Wang felt as if her heart had been cut out.
…
After Zhao Qinglan took her daughter to wash up, she went out to have breakfast.
While eating, I also thought about their future.
Living in a guest house is not a long-term solution, and it is not secure either.
As for staying in his hometown? Zhao Qinglan shook her head directly.
In the county town, there are wolves, jackals, tigers and leopards of the Wang family.
The family in the countryside, except for her cowardly and clueless parents, are not fuel-efficient.
In her previous life, she was kicked out by the Wang family and still couldn't live in the same city.
This time, she took the initiative to initiate a divorce. Can the Wang family swallow this?
Just thinking about it, I know it's impossible.
The plan for now is to leave my hometown!
She had to take Xiaoduo far away so that the Wang family could not reach them.
But where should I go after leaving my hometown?
Li Huai's face appeared in front of her again.
That's it. Let's go to Li Huai first, find out Li Huai's current situation, and then think about what to do next.
Zhao Qinglan finally made up his mind.
Since she wanted to help Li Huai redeem his regrets, she naturally had to stay around him to have a chance to do so.
These days, if you want to travel far away, you must have a letter of introduction.
The letter of introduction used to stay in a guest house after divorce could no longer be used when traveling far away. She had to get another one.
After Xiaoduo finished eating, Zhao Qinglan took her to open a letter of introduction.
Zhao Qinglan just came here to write a letter of introduction because of her divorce, and the staff of the neighborhood committee still remembered it.
She cried and complained about how difficult it was for her to be a woman with a child and to go to a distant place to live with her relatives. It was easy to win sympathy and get a letter of introduction.
After finishing the letter of introduction, Zhao Qinglan took her daughter to find Sui Wenjing, director Sui's husband, Li Aiguo.
On the day she caused trouble in the Wang family, Sui Wenjing came with her husband, and later told Zhao Qinglan that she could ask them for help if she had any trouble.
Li Aiguo was working in the Armed Forces Ministry when he was told that a woman named Zhao Qinglan was looking for him.
"Zhao Qinglan?" Li Aiguo remembered who it was when he heard it, because his wife had been at home these past two days and lamented how miserable Zhao Qinglan was.
Although he didn't know why Zhao Qinglan was looking for him, Li Aiguo walked out immediately.
"Comrade Qinglan, are you looking for me?"
Zhao Qinglan smiled and nodded. "Brother Li, I heard from Sister Sui that you served as a soldier in the northwest. I want to ask you, do you have any comrades there now?"
"Indeed, you ask this?" Li Aiguo became confused.
"Brother Li, I have a benefactor who used to be a soldier there, named Li Huai, but after marrying into the Wang family, I lost contact with him. I would like to trouble you to ask if he is still there now. I will
I want to thank him a little bit.”
Li Huai, why do you think this name seems familiar?
Thinking of Zhao Qinglan's experience in the Wang family, Li Aiguo wondered why she couldn't contact her benefactor.
"Okay, let me ask you, where do you live now?"
"Thank you, Brother Li. I live in the guest house at the east end of the county."
"By the way, Brother Li, um, can you go a little faster?" Zhao Qinglan felt embarrassed.
If the question is one or two months, is it possible that she still has to live in the guest house with her daughter for that long?
If Li Aiguo couldn't find out anything within a short period of time, she wouldn't wait and would directly take Xiaoduo to find him.
Thinking of Zhao Qinglan's special situation, Li Aiguo didn't ask why and just nodded. "Okay, I'll call and ask. Just go back and wait for the news."
"Thank you so much, Brother Li."
When she turned around again, the smile on her face brightened.
Li Huai, I hope to know your situation as soon as possible.
In my last life, you protected me and helped me. This time, let me do it!
