The next day, when I came out of the hotel, I happened to meet Mei Lanzhi, the wife of the director of the Luhuadang Township Cultural Center.

She opened a snack bar next to the school, and the business was very prosperous, and her son was in the second year of junior high school, and because I had been teaching the third year of junior high school for the past two years, and my grades were excellent, she told me several times that she wanted to put her son in my class in the future.

I saw her waving to me and motioning for me to enter the snack bar. I'm a little confused, what's the matter with me? Now I'm all "unemployed". When I entered the house, she asked me straight to the point: "Teacher Chu, ask you some questions that you shouldn't ask, I heard that you want a divorce?" ”

I nodded.

There was a look of concern in her eyes: "Yesterday, I saw your mother-in-law arguing all the way out of the hotel, what are you arguing about?" ”

"Whatever she wants, I don't care anymore, I've decided to divorce anyway!" My answer was crisp and cold.

"Are you really leaving? The husband and wife are still the original match. "She seems to be more concerned.

"Thank you for your concern," this provoked my nameless fire, but I tried to suppress it as much as I could, and the voice seemed to float from the depths of the deep and dark well, "I have hired a lawyer." ”

Mei Lanzhi's face immediately became solemn and serious: "Since this is the case, I have nothing to say." If you really want a divorce, you need to do something. Don't get me wrong, I think you're a very nice person, and you've tutored my son a few times, that's why I say that. ”

I was really excited, after all, good people have good rewards, you see, the parents of the students also understand me and help me.

I motioned for her to continue.

Mei Lanzhi whispered to me, "Sit down and talk." We are very familiar with President Wang, and last time I won a lawsuit, I will tell you that I will give him this amount once! ”

She raised three fingers on her right hand.

I nodded knowingly, and said the number very firmly: "Three hundred? ”

Mei Lanzhi shook her head, looked at me and smiled: "Three hundred? You don't understand this, a whole three thousand! ”

My eyes widened, "Wouldn't it?" It seems that he is very incorruptible. Last night, I gave him cigarettes and tea, but he resolutely refused to accept it, and finally had no choice but to accept it, but it was still in the way, he said that he would return it to Hua Jiehao and hand it over to me. ”

Mei Lanzhi had a look of disdain on her face: "Cut!" That's because you don't have enough things, even if you say goodbye, it's just a matter of talking on the scene, how can you take it seriously? He I know best. Not convinced? Look at the luxurious decoration of his house, huh, with his little salary? ”

I'm so discouraged, I was full of confidence and hope just now.

But now, I suddenly became sad: as my eldest sister said, I am an out-and-out "nerd"!

Mei Lanzhi may have seen through my thoughts, and comforted me and said, "Don't worry, Teacher Chu, we have dealt with President Wang many times, not a day or two. Today we will ask him to come here for a meal, help you connect with each other, and then choose another night, I will accompany you to his house once, what do you think? ”

I gritted my teeth and said fiercely: "Thank you, the food money is mine, and you can set the time to go to his house in the evening." ”

In the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Mei Lanzhi, President Wang, and I sat at a table.

I don't know how to drink, and I can't drink, so I jokingly explained to them: "It's called congenital deficiency, acquired disorder, and not long ago I fell and injured my head, and the doctor will take care of it for the rest of my life." No, now I have become a national treasure giant panda, and I need everyone to protect me. Then he stood up and made a gesture: "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but I can only serve the president, the curator and his wife with water and wine!" ”

Mei Lanzhi stood up with a glass of wine first, and said to President Wang with a smile on her face: "Wang Ting, first of all, thank you for coming today, do it!" ”

President Wang also stood up, a smile on his round face full of flesh: "Thank you, beautiful lady, if it weren't for my old friend, I wouldn't have found time today." ”

After saying that, he raised his head and did it all.

During the process of eating and drinking, Mei Lanzhi took the opportunity to toast while the iron was hot: "Wang Ting, Teacher Chu has taught my son, and he is definitely a good teacher, otherwise we would not have come forward to invite you." Please look at my thin noodles, you must help with this, there is affection to make up for it, we will not forget you! ”

"Big sister, aren't you going to see the outside?" President Wang laughed, and a puff of wine erupted from his mouth, "I must help you with your favor." ”

At such a wine table, I became a supporting role, a bystander, an idler, and even felt that I had become an out-and-out fool.

With a big smile on my face, I watched as they performed on the stage I had paid for, performing the wonderful details that I had never seen before and hated to see, and which I probably still don't want to see in the future.

After we had enough to eat, we all said some kind words.

President Wang drove away, and after saying goodnight to the Mei Lanzhi family, I also set out on the way back to the hotel.

The night breeze was cool, like gentle fingers caressing my hot cheeks, and I suddenly had a feeling of affection and sadness, like my mother's fingers gently gliding over my body. Oh, Mother, why did I suddenly think of Mother? It seemed to me that my mother's gentle gaze came from the distant sky, through thousands of mountains and rivers, through the dark night, all the way to the top of my head, and looked at me so quietly and melancholy.

I seemed to hear my mother's familiar voice, vaguely, and I clearly felt her call to me, her concern for me, and her comfort from the voice. I shook my head, and all illusions vanished in a moment, and I looked up sharply to see that I was in front of the hotel.

After two days, Mei Lanzhi finally had time to accompany me to President Wang's house.

That night, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and occasionally the wind tore a hole or two, and the twinkling starlight peeked out of it its long, blue arms.

After entering President Wang's house and greeting politely, Mei Lanzhi handed over an envelope containing my two thousand yuan, which was the hard-earned money I saved from between my teeth through gritted teeth and endured pain! The president only used his fat fingers to symbolically prevaricate, and the two thousand pieces of pork buns beat the dog—there was no return.

On the way to President Wang's house, I asked Mei Lanzhi worriedly: "If the name is not written on the envelope, what should he do if he is confused and thinks Ma Liang is Feng Liang?" ”

She turned her head and smiled at me, a scorching light burst out of her eyes: "I said Teacher Chu, my little brother, you are a layman." He only had to squeeze the envelope with his hand, hehe, and he knew that there were a few hundred-dollar bills. ”

Sure enough, shortly after President Wang accepted the envelope, I sensed that his attitude towards me seemed to have changed significantly.

He looked at me first, the flesh on his chin drooped downward, making people worried that the meat would fall at any time, and then turned his head to Mei Lanzhi, and said in an unquestionable tone: "For your sincerity, for my friendship with you, don't worry, I will help you with this favor." He paused for a moment, as if thinking about something, and then waved his hand as if he had made up his mind: "Teacher Chu, I will send the divorce lawsuit to your wife as soon as possible, and arrange a court session within twenty days as soon as possible!" Don't worry, I'll keep you satisfied. ”

I was a little happy, a little sad, a little confused, a little sad. After saying "thank you", we stepped out of the door of President Wang's house and rode to Luhuadang.

On the way, we talked about boring topics, and although I was not interested in it in the slightest, I had to deal with Mei Lanzhi with a careful and smiling face, after all, why did she help me so much? Because I'm a good teacher? A few days to catch up on her son's lessons? Just as I was pondering these questions, she suddenly screamed, and the bike fell to me in one direction, and then fell heavily on top of me.

Her hands grabbed my arms, her face pressed against mine, and I could almost hear her eager gasps.

Suddenly, I was a little panicked and confused, but I didn't have time to think about it, so I immediately helped her up with my strong arms and hurriedly asked, "Why did you fall?" ”

Mei Lanzhi's big eyes emitted a strange light, which seemed to permeate infinite deceptive charm, yes, it should be temptation! I think I've encountered this kind of gaze in college! I shuddered, and I finally found out the real reason why she helped me.

I quickly turned my head, looked at the dark night, and complained, "It's too dark, and the road is uneven, I'm really sorry to make you eat a heel." Hurry up and ride, it's going to rain! ”

Mei Lanzhi's voice came from behind him, with the gentleness unique to mature women, and it seemed to be mixed with wisps of coquettishness: "I have heard the weather forecast, there is no rain tonight!" ”

"Oh, and the weather forecast is sometimes inaccurate. On top of that, Hua Jiehao was waiting for me in his office, and we made an appointment to meet at 9 o'clock. I replied without hesitation, looking at the Citizen's luminous watch as I spoke, "Ah, it's ten minutes left, hurry up and ride, it's late, he can't spare me." ”

I was a little impressed by my performances, but I didn't think I had the talent to do so, and it was exactly the same as telling a lie.

By the time I collapsed on the hotel bed, it was already 10 o'clock, and I was secretly glad that I had escaped a catastrophe.
