Chapter 1405: It’s all Xiang Shuangshuang’s doing

Zhang Laojiu whispered: "I didn’t know the drug was that potent, Xiang Shuangshuang gave it to me. She only said it was just a sedative, harmless to the body."

It was Xiang Shuangshuang who suggested selling Shuiyu;

It was Xiang Shuangshuang who discussed how to sell it;

The drug for Shuiyu was given by Xiang Shuangshuang!

Everything was Xiang Shuangshuang’s doing.

The village chief was mad enough to die.

"Enough, I’m not dealing with your matters anymore, I agree to Lin Mei’s divorce proposal! Otherwise, our village has finally produced a university student, and you’d really ruin it all. Draft the divorce agreement."

Zhang Laojiu muttered: "I’m not getting divorced."

"Do you want to go to jail then? You had a child with Xiang Shuangshuang, effectively making it a de facto marriage. You’re committing bigamy, and although the crime of bigamy isn’t prosecuted unless reported, can you guarantee Lin Mei won’t report you?"

Lin Mei immediately shouted: "If you refuse the divorce, I’ll file a complaint, sending both of them to jail! Whatever happens, once you’re imprisoned, it’ll be easier for me to divorce."

Zhang Laojiu panicked upon hearing about going to jail.

In the end, he had no choice but to agree to the divorce.

When it came to deciding the custody of the children, Zhang Laojiu wanted both Shuiyu and Shui Jun to stay with him, but the village had one response that blocked his argument: "Both children are over ten years old, they can choose whether to follow their mother or father."

In the village chief’s view, Shuiyu definitely wouldn’t stay with Zhang Laojiu, but he wasn’t at ease letting the fourteen-year-old son stay with him either.

He looked at Zhang Shuijun: "Shui Jun, surely you prefer to stay with your dad, right?"

Lin Mei quickly spoke: "Shui Jun, come with Mom, I’ll work to support your education. I won’t let you suffer from cold or hunger."

Zhang Laojiu yelled: "You’ve already estranged the daughter from me, wanting her to leave with you, and yet you aren’t going to leave me even a son? Do you want me to end up a lonely old man?"

Lin Mei sneered: "Don’t you still have Xiang Shuangshuang? Didn’t Xiang Shuangshuang also give you a son?

In these three years that you’ve been out transporting, I specifically asked those who hired you to haul bricks. You can haul at least ten truckloads of bricks a day, each load earning you 20 yuan.

That means you earn at least A Hundred Yuan every day. A month, that’s six thousand yuan, and in a year, I’ll just count ten months for you, that’s sixty thousand yuan. Subtracting one thousand yuan for fuel and food, you earn at least fifty thousand yuan a year. In three years, that’s one hundred fifty thousand!

Of that one hundred fifty thousand, apart from repaying my brother’s five thousand yuan, not a penny came back to me. You explain, where has all that money gone."

Zhang Laojiu was a little confused, did he really earn that much money?

He bought a medium-sized tractor, which was actually Xiang Shuangshuang’s suggestion. After buying the vehicle, it was also Xiang Shuangshuang who helped him find jobs, he just hauled the goods, and had work almost every day, sometimes even working overtime.

All the money was directly handled by Xiang Shuangshuang, she kept it for him, only giving him money for fuel or repairs. As for meals, he ate at others’ places.

Towards the end of the year, he asked Xiang Shuangshuang for his earnings, she very readily gave him the money, it was over four thousand the year before last, five thousand last year, and six thousand this year. He was quite happy, seeing the amount increase yearly.

When Xiang Shuangshuang handed him the money at the end of the year, he always gave Xiang Shuangshuang a portion, hence, he only saved up twelve thousand over these three years.

This year, when Lin Mei asked for money to repay her brother-in-law, he gave him the five thousand yuan, leaving himself with seven thousand yuan. But then, these seven thousand were completely lost over the previous few days.

He only knew that his transport work was very hard, running from morning till late each day, sometimes even working overtime at night, but upon seeing the money, he still felt the effort was worth it, considering how rare millionaires were at the time.

Yet he was unaware that over the past three years, he hadn’t just earned ten thousand, but scores of thousands!
