Chapter 17: Ex-husband
I immediately felt the urge to punch someone.
It's hateful that there is such a man in the world who has no sense of responsibility at all.
"Did he come to you the night before?" I remembered what Aunt Liu said about being thick-skinned and the like, and I couldn't help but ask.
"Yes."
"You're divorced, why is he still looking for you?"
"I lost money in gambling, so I came to ask for money."
"It's too much!" I switched the rice bag to my left hand and slapped my right hand on the handrail of the staircase, which hummed in the hallway.
I was about to ask what kind of work the other person does to make a living, but the words came to my lips and swallowed. It is certainly not easy for a woman to divorce and bring a three-year-old daughter. Forget it, don't touch people's sore spots.
As he spoke, he had come to the 7th floor. Tong Mengna took out the key from her bag and was about to open the door, when suddenly, a figure flashed, and a thin man walked out from behind the fire door in the stairwell.
This man had messy hair, and he was dirty.
"Gao Shan, why are you here again? What do you want? Tong Mengna subconsciously took a step back.
"Mona, don't get me wrong, I'm not here to ask you for money this time." The man pulled out a plastic bag from behind him, which contained seven or eight apples, "I know you love apples, you see, I've brought you apples." β
"I don't want your apple, you go quickly. I don't want to see you in the future. β
"Don't want to see me again?" The man smiled, leaned closer to Tong Mengna, and reached out to touch her face, "Don't say it so ruthlessly, one day husband and wife Bairien, I know you are not a ruthless woman..."
"Don't touch me!"
Tong Mengna pushed away the other party's hand in disgust, "We have been divorced a long time ago, if you dare to touch me, I will sue you for playing hooligan." Go away! β
"My temper has grown, okay, if you don't let me touch it, I won't touch it," the man retracted his hand, and his tone became cold, "Let's make it clear." I came this time, and it didn't matter, I just wanted to see Panpan at first sight. You open the door, I look at Pan Pan and leave. β
"The child no longer recognizes you as a gambler father, you go quickly!"
"Mona, don't go too far, Panpan is my own flesh and blood, don't I even have the right to see me? Be obedient, open the door, I will speak for a moment, just take a look, and leave after reading. β
"I'm sorry, but the child is not home."
"Not at home? Where did it go? β
"I followed her grandmother back to her hometown in the countryside."
"So there's no one in the house," the man smiled lewdly and forced him towards her, "After the divorce, I haven't touched a woman again in Gaoshan, and I'm swollen, I'm sure you're very lonely." There was no one at home today, so we just took the opportunity..."
"You... Go away! Tong Mengna exclaimed.
"Don't be so angry, after all, we are always husband and wife...", as he spoke, the man named Gao Shan opened his arms and hugged Tong Mengna.
"Stop!"
I couldn't bear it anymore, and after a scolding, I walked up from the bottom of the steps with a bag of rice.
Gao Shan didn't expect a person to suddenly appear from behind him, and the hand that was reaching out to Tong Mengna retracted, and looked at me in surprise, "You, who are you?" β
I didn't manage Gao Shan, so I put down the fifty catties of rice in a hurry, walked over and whispered to Tong Mengna, "I'm here, don't be afraid." Then he turned around and looked at Takayama with contempt, "Please leave immediately." In the future, Mona is not allowed to be disturbed again. β
I wanted to say "Tong Mengna", but when the words came to my mouth, I omitted "Tong" and changed it to "Mengna". In some kind of psyche, I did it on purpose.
Gao Shan glanced at the rice bag on the ground, looked me up and down, as if he understood something, turned his face to Tong Mengna, squinted his eyes and said, "I have to let me touch you, it turns out that you already have a good relationship." β
Then, his voice became fierce, "It's only been a few days since the divorce, and you can't help it." You slut, I really underestimate you. β
This sentence was extremely ugly, and my face suddenly changed, and my fists clenched. Although the other party scolded Tong Mengna, in fact, even I piggybacked.
Of course, it's inconvenient for me to get angry now, after all, I have nothing to do with the other party, the other party is not directly targeting me, and if I am rude, it will be a violation of human rights.
"What are you talking nonsense?"
Tong Mengna's face was a little flustered, and she subconsciously hurriedly defended, "Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand the situation, actually..."
"Actually, we've known each other for a long time," I interrupted Tong Mengna, took her words, and looked at Gao Shan with a playful smile, "When it comes to this, you should be very clear." So, I hope you don't bother us again in the future, otherwise, I'm not going to be polite to you. β
After saying this, I reached out and grabbed the rice bag on the ground, pretended to throw it up easily, and after catching it, I said to Tong Mengna: "Mengna, don't pay attention to him." Open the door, let's go home. β
As I spoke, I pretended to be affectionate and put my other hand on Tong Mengna's shoulder.
Takayama's face suddenly became ugly. I could see a hint of timidity in his eyes. After all, a fifty-pound bag of rice is not something that anyone can grab with one hand, and I grabbed it and threw it upwards, which shocked the other party.
Tong Mengna obviously didn't expect me to be so intimate to her, her face suddenly turned red, "I, I..." murmured softly, not knowing what to say.
"You..."
Gao Shan was a little anxious, and after glaring at Tong Mengna fiercely, he took a step back, turned his face to me, rolled his eyes, and said, "It's okay if you want Tong Mengna to be your woman." However, you have to pay back the 500,000 for her. β
"500,000?" I was stunned.
"Yes. Tong Mengna owes me 500,000 yuan, you give me this money, she is yours. Takayama's tone was very hard, and he seemed to be very confident.
"Gao Shan, are you still a man," Tong Mengna's eyes turned red, "It was the money you were willing to pay for my father's treatment, and I married you in order to repay you." Now you're turning around and asking for the account, are you talking about human words? Aren't you afraid that God will punish you? β
"Fuck! What is not called human words? What happened to me asking for my own money? There really is a woman in the world who is as strong as you..."
"Get out!"
Before Takayama could finish speaking, my already clenched fist fell heavily on the handrail of the stairs. The other party's body was leaning on the armrest, and he was stumbled by my fist and almost fell. He glared at me viciously and dropped a sentence, "It's not so easy to get Tong Mengna." With that, he went down the stairway.
Tong Mengna was crying quietly, and I took the key from her and helped her open the door. Sure enough, as she said, there was no one at home, so it was really possible that Aunt Liu took her daughter back to the countryside.
As soon as I got her into the house, I took my leave. If there is someone in her family, maybe I will sit for a while, there is no one in the family, I can't stay, the other party is a divorced woman, and I am a gentleman with her, it is not suitable.
When I got back to my house, I found that there was no one at home either. It's already half past six, and Huang Yijia has already been at home with her son at this time in the past. What's going on?
Huang Yijia: I can ignore it, but I can't ignore my son. After dialing Huang Yijia's mobile phone, I asked her and her son where they were. Huang Yijia said she was in dance school with her son.
I was stunned, "What are you taking Peng Peng to your dance school for?" β
"I went to kindergarten to pick up my son and was about to go home, when I received a call from Principal Li saying that there was an urgent matter at the dance school. I brought my son with me temporarily. When it was almost over, I took my son home right away. β
Putting down the phone, I didn't think much about it, and I was a little unimpressed. What is the urgency of the dance school, it is a big deal to arrange to participate in the dance competition in the city. I know that Huang Yijia dances very well, and she has participated in several citywide dance competitions before, and she has won two championships.
After I finished dinner, Huang Yijia came back with her son. As soon as she entered the house, Huang Yijia asked, "Chen Yang, did you report to the Sunflower Auction House today?" β
"Check in."
"Oh."
Huang Yijia didn't say anything more.
After dinner, my son went to play in his room. I sat on the couch and watched the news. After a while, Huang Yijia came over with a peeled apple and handed it to me, and asked seemingly unintentionally, "Have you seen Mr. Yan of the auction house?" β
"See."
Huang Yijia followed up and asked, "What did he say to you?" β
"He showed me the auction house's warehouse, and he said that my future job would be to identify the things that entered the warehouse."
"That's all?"
"Oh, andβ" I stared into Huang Yijia's eyes, "he especially emphasized that the attendance system of the Sunflower Auction House is very strict, and you can't just leave the auction house when you enter the auction house during work. If you have something, you must ask for leave. β
