Chapter 46: Ex-husband
Because Liao Xiangzhi had already gone through the divorce procedures with her ex-husband when she had an accident, her ex-husband did not receive a penny of the property after Liao Xiangzhi's accident, and although the two of them were together for a long time, they had no children, so in the matter of Liao Xiangzhi's murder, her ex-husband can be said to have not received any benefits.
But Du Juan and Tang Hongye still found this man, this person's name is Zhao Yong, indeed as Aunt Zhang said, he is a few years older than Liao Xiangzhi, if Liao Xiangzhi is still alive now, he should be thirty-six or seventeen years old, and Zhao Yong is already forty-five years old. This person is not good-looking, with the common belly and body of a man in his forties, a shiny face, and some scars left by chickenpox when he was a child, although his appearance is indeed not very good-looking, and his face looks like a dull and honest person.
Zhao Yong had remarried as early as five years ago, opened a small supermarket by himself, and became a small boss, it seems that life is relatively moist, seeing Tang Hongye and Du Juan coming to the door, he was still a little dazed, and after they said what they meant, his pockmarked face suddenly became gloomy.
"Why is Liao Xiangzhi's woman still looking for me? I've been divorced from her for more than eight years, and she's been dead for six or seven years, and I'm starting a family again. His boss said to the cuckoo unhappily, speaking in an urn voice, his thick hand clenched into a fist on the table, "I have nothing to say about this woman, and I can't learn to pretend to be a good person, and say something vain, if you ask me, I will tell you, this woman is innocent of death, she deserves it!" ”
"We don't want to justify anyone, or we want to know what the truth of those things before and after the divorce between the two of you was." Du Juan said patiently to Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong was stunned for a moment, he is not a person with a stupid brain, what Du Juan meant by this is still understandable, so he hesitated, and his originally gloomy face softened a little, but he was still a little incredulous, and after being silent for a few seconds, he asked tentatively: "Then I listen to what you mean, you don't really believe the original statement, don't you?" Do you want to believe what I'm telling you? ”
"We did have doubts about the original version, so we came to you." Tang Hongye said to him.
As soon as Zhao Yong heard this, his eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he probably felt that he was a little out of shape as a big man, so he hurriedly turned around, took a pack of facial tissues from the shelves behind him where cigarettes and chewing gum were placed, opened it and took out a cigarette to wipe the tears that could not be held back.
It's okay not to wipe it, this time, his tears are like breaking the embankment, and they keep flowing out, Zhao Yong keeps wiping, and there is a tendency to cry silently for a while. Du Juan and Tang Hongye looked at each other, in the past in the process of visiting and investigating, there were also scenes of crying and crying in the face of witnesses and victims' families, but it was rare to see such a rough and wooden man, who would cry as if he was a wronged child, sobbing and choking at all, two people, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows whether to persuade or comfort a few words, and how to persuade and comfort.
Fortunately, Zhao Yong is not a person who cries endlessly, he cried for a while, and the grievances that had been suppressed in his heart for many years seemed to be vented, and the whole person's emotions calmed down by themselves, and no one needed to persuade him, and he even blew his nose very loudly and didn't care about the image.
"Okay, God has eyes, I was so miserable by that girl, finally someone is willing to believe me and listen to what's going on!" His eyes were red and he grinned at Du Juan and Tang Hongye, "I have really been wronged in the past few years, I live with my current wife, there is always a shadow of the past in my heart, sometimes I fall asleep, and suddenly I have nightmares, I dreamed that Liao Xiangzhi went to the court to sue me, saying that I injured her, and then the court sent someone to arrest me, to let me squat in prison, it is useless for me to shout injustice, no one can hear what I say, and when I finally woke up in fright, my chest and back were sweaty, and my clothes were soaked." ”
Du Juan listened to Zhao Yong's words, and secretly sighed in his heart, what a psychological shadow this is to have passed for so many years, sleeping and having nightmares is still a matter of divorce from Liao Xiangzhi at the beginning!
After that, Zhao Yong began to introduce them to the past between himself and Liao Xiangzhi.
Zhao Yong and Liao Xiangzhi were originally in the same village, and the two families lived not far from each other. Liao Xiangzhi's family background is a little worse, and the situation is a little special, although she said that her parents are alive, but only her father is biological, and her biological mother ran away with her husband behind her back when Liao Xiangzhi was only a little more than a year old, so her father married her stepmother when she was two years old, and then her stepmother gave birth to a son, a daughter and two children. Liao Xiangzhi's appearance is said to be exactly the same as that of her biological mother, as if carved out of a mold, so her father is not particularly fond of this eldest daughter who can remind her of the betrayal and sadness of her ex-wife. The biological father is still like this, and the stepmother who has two biological children can almost be said to ignore Liao Xiangzhi, without any beating and abuse, but she has not given her any care and care.
Zhao Yong is a few years older than Liao Xiangzhi, he dropped out of school early at home, and he made a living from farming, and his family was not wealthy, but he was still above average in the village, and his liking for Liao Xiangzhi seemed to be an open secret, and no one deliberately broke it, but the villagers saw it in their eyes and tacitly understood it, and the two families were the same.
Originally, Liao Xiangzhi didn't have a good face for Zhao Yong, Zhao Yong was good to her, took care of her, and she also accepted it with peace of mind, Zhao Yong hinted that she wanted to fall in love with her, get married, and live together, so she didn't agree.
This stalemate was not broken until Liao Xiangzhi's eldest brother wanted to marry his daughter-in-law.
Liao Xiangzhi's eldest brother, that is, her stepmother's eldest son, was more than three years younger than Liao Xiangzhi, Liao Xiangzhi was twenty years old at the time, and the eldest brother was just seventeen.
"You may not know that this was the case in the early years, and now there is such a thing, in our side, many children who don't study early are sixteen or seventeen years old, seventeen or eighteen years old, but what if they don't get a marriage certificate if they are not old? Then first pass the bride price or something, set up a banquet, it is equivalent to getting married first, when the two of them are old enough, and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the marriage certificate back. Zhao Yong saw that the two of them seemed to be a little confused about the age of Liao Xiangzhi's younger brother who was in a hurry to get married, so he specially explained.
As soon as he said this, Du Juan and Tang Hongye also understood, and continued to listen to Zhao Yong's story.
Zhao Yong will marry Liao Xiangzhi, this matter is still led by Liao Xiangzhi, she took the initiative to find Zhao Yong, and told Zhao Yong that she knew that Zhao Yong had always liked her, so she was willing to marry him, but there was one condition, the bride price money for the marriage could not be given to her mother's family, but only to herself.
Of course, Zhao Yong has no objection to this, what he likes is Liao Xiangzhi, if Liao Xiangzhi is willing to marry him, of course he is happy to agree to everything, and then Liao Xiangzhi proposed that he is not old enough to get a certificate, and he is not willing to face the loess with his back to the sky for the rest of his life, so he hopes that Zhao Yong will take the bride price money and go to other places with her to do some small business to live.
Zhao Yong had no room to refuse at all, because for him at that time, Liao Xiangzhi's willingness to be with him was already a good thing for pie in the sky, and there was no reason not to agree at all.
Liao Xiangzhi has a pair of clever mouths, under her left and right words, the Zhao family has not directly communicated with any Liao family except her, but they have always thought that this is a consensus between the two families, Liao Xiangzhi also brought his own household registration book, saying that even if she is in the field, she can also get a marriage certificate, she plans to go out with Zhao Yong to work hard first, and when she reaches the age where she can get a certificate, she will go back to the village to set up wine after getting the marriage certificate, the Zhao family has no objection to this, and the two of them took the bride price money and left their hometown. I came to City A.
It wasn't until the two of them settled in City A that Zhao Yong called the family to report his safety, and it turned out that Liao Xiangzhi had secretly run away behind the family's decision, and the Liao family went to the Zhao family because of this, and asked for someone from the Zhao family, and finally said that the Zhao family's parents took out a sum of money as a bride price, which can be regarded as appeasing the anger of the Liao family and calming down this conflict.
"In fact, looking back, she didn't really want to live with me because she liked me at all, but she felt that her stepmother would definitely want to marry her off as soon as she reached her age, and accepted the bride price so that she could get married to her son," Zhao Yong said hatefully, "She thinks I'm stupid, easy to handle, so she came to me, I was really a fool, I actually believed it, and my family took two bride price money for nothing, it turned out that I also comforted the old man in the family, saying that it was okay, anyway, the first sum was here for the two of us, We have made business capital, and we have not cheapened outsiders, it is not a loss, now look at it, how not to lose! Aren't they all swept away by the Liao family! She snatched it when Liao Xiangzhi was alive, and gave it to her father and stepmother when she died! Our family didn't get a dime. ”
"How is the relationship between the two of you after marriage? The business has grown from small to big, why didn't you handle it later? Du Juan opened his mouth to ask Zhao Yong a question, thinking about what Zhao Yong said before, in fact, it is not difficult to see from these past things that Liao Xiangzhi is a person who is very good at planning for himself.
"Liao Xiangzhi got the certificate when he got old, and after I got married, I always felt that it was pretty good, and I didn't have as many ghostly eyes as her, anyway, I lived with her wholeheartedly." Zhao Yong replied with grievances, "Do you do business, she was soliciting business at the beginning, and I was responsible for contributing, I have to be honest about this, I am not the kind of person with a particularly good brain, you let me do business with others, I really don't have those two times, Liao Xiangzhi has a clever mouth, and her brain is smarter than me, so she has always dealt with it more."
Later, our business improved little by little, began to get better, and made more money than before, Liao Xiangzhi put it forward, let me stop making great efforts, too hard, the income of the two of us is enough to hire someone to come back and do the hard work of buying and loading goods, she asked me to take care of the family, and learn some leisure activities such as fishing if I have nothing to do, in case our business grows bigger, we also have to be like those big money, live a little moisturized, don't play anything at that time, but make people laugh, In terms of business, she can't get rid of her hands for the time being, so I play first, and when it gets bigger, she can also get out of her hands, and I will play with her. ”
"When she said that, you believed it and accepted it?" Tang Hongye felt unreliable when he heard it, and it was hard to believe how Zhao Yong withdrew from his own business under such absurd persuasion.
Zhao Yong's face turned red, and he said sneeringly: "Aren't I stupid, I will believe what she says." ”
Du Juan didn't think that Zhao Yong chose to follow Liao Xiangzhi's arrangement because he was stupid and obedient, looking at his red face and remorseful look, it was clear that he had a very complicated mood about the original decision, if she didn't guess wrong, this Zhao Yong was not a very hard-working person, and he was willing to do those hard jobs at the beginning, but he also belonged to the business just starting, and he had no responsibility, and there was no way. Later, when the business improved, Liao Xiangzhi asked him to rest and let him go to play, which was just what he wanted.
Of course, looking at this matter from another angle, it is not difficult to see that Liao Xiangzhi has indeed thoroughly understood Zhao Yong's character, so every step along the way is digging that kind of tailor-made trap for Zhao Yong.
"Did Liao Xiangzhi turn her face with you first, or did you first find out that she had someone else outside?" Tang Hongye knew that Zhao Yong must be eager to express this, so he simply didn't engage in any subtle euphemism, and asked him directly.
"Neither," Zhao Yong shook his head, "I really didn't know at first that she was so virtuous outside, her family's income was in charge of her, and I didn't know, it was she who first started to pick my nose and eyes, and I didn't like what I was, and then I always quarreled with me, scolded me, said that I was a moth, ate her and drank her, and it was more useful to raise a dog than to raise me, I said I could go back to help her, and she thought I was embarrassed and stupid, saying that other people's bosses were capable and graceful, and I was stupid, stupid and old, went to overturn and made her lose face, and then quarreled three times and two times, and it came to the topic of divorce. ”
