Chapter 116 Relief (1)
116. Relieve the siege
This kind of man may seem honest on the surface, but he is actually very unreasonable. Living with this kind of person can drive you crazy, while he will be completely unaffected and will even think that you are innocent and that the other person is being unreasonable.
Su Jinru would never accept a man like this, even if she did want to remarry. If she did, she would be jumping from one fire pit into another, and she would have wasted her life.
But he just keeps pestering you relentlessly. He hasn't done anything excessive; he just keeps trying to make amends. When you get angry, he looks at you with innocent eyes, as if he's the one in the wrong.
Left with no other choice, Su Jinru could only tell Liu Dazhuang that she already had a boyfriend.
Liu Dazhuang's stubbornness has returned.
He said, "I don't believe it unless you bring him here to me. Tell me, I've known you for almost half a month, and I've never seen that man come to see you."
Su Jinru: "Come over when you get off work tomorrow afternoon, and I'll let you meet him."
"Okay, I'll come and see tomorrow to see what kind of person is better than me."
"Whether I'm better than you or not, you'll find out when you see me."
Su Jinru called Yuan Wenjie.
Are you free tomorrow or the day after?
"You have some free time, is there some food again?"
"It has ten tons, so two trucks can come."
When can I pick up the goods?
"I need to pick up the goods the day after tomorrow morning, but I have something to do. I hope you can do me a favor tomorrow afternoon."
“We’ve known each other for over a year now. If there’s anything I can help you with, just let me know. I’ll do my best to help.”
"You can do this, all you have to do is act in a play for me."
Su Jinru recounted the general course of events.
"No problem, it's just acting! I guarantee you'll be satisfied, and I'll definitely make him back down."
"Then it's settled. I get off work at five o'clock. Come to my house around five-tenths and I'll treat you to dinner at a state-run restaurant."
Yuan Wenjie said with a smile, "This deal is worthwhile. I put on a show and got a meal in return."
The following afternoon at 5 p.m., Su Jinru returned home from get off work and, as expected, saw Yuan Wenjie already waiting there.
He was wearing a military green outfit, which was the most fashionable clothing at the time.
He was already handsome, and with this outfit, he looked incredibly dashing.
Su Jinru invited him into the courtyard.
A little while later, the two children also came home from school.
Although Su Jinru had been dealing with Yuan Wenjie for over a year, this was the first time the two children had met Yuan Wenjie. Previously, Su Jinru would always arrange to pick up goods when the children were at school.
Yuan Wenjie took out some White Rabbit milk candies and gave them to the two children.
You couldn't buy this kind of milk candy in Nanyang County; it was a high-end product back then.
Su Jinru gestured to the two children that they could accept the candy.
"Thank you, Uncle." An Ran accepted the candy and thanked him politely.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
It's probably Liu Dazhuang who's here.
Su Jinru sent the two children inside to do their homework.
She opened the courtyard gate, and sure enough, it was Liu Dazhuang.
Liu Dazhuang entered the courtyard and immediately saw Yuan Wenjie.
"He... he wouldn't be the guy you were talking about, would he?"
Su Jinru nodded.
"Yes, he is my boyfriend."
Yuan Wenjie smiled at Liu Dazhuang.
“Aru is my wife. It’s understandable if you didn’t know. Now that you know, you can’t have any more thoughts about her.”
He spoke so naturally, as if it were true, but Su Jinru felt a little embarrassed listening to him.
Looking at the upright posture of Yuan Wenjie, Liu Dazhuang felt somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.
"Su Jinru, did you hire someone to put on an act for me? If he's your boyfriend, why haven't I seen him in so long?"
"Because he's a soldier, he's often away from home," Su Jinru said casually.
"You have a boyfriend? Why didn't you tell me sooner? Are you playing me?" he said, somewhat annoyed.
“Liu Dazhuang, from the day you brought the matchmaker to my house, I told you that I didn’t accept you and asked you not to come again. Later, you came to harass me every day, and I refused every time. I’ve made things clear, but you’re the one who’s stubborn. Now you’re blaming me for playing you. How did I play you? Did I accept your gifts, or did I invite you to my house?”
"Of course, I invited you here today because you've seriously affected my life. I've asked you to come see my partner so you can give up on me as soon as possible."
"If you have a partner, just say you have one. Why pretend you don't want to date anymore and give a bunch of reasons? Aren't you just trying to play hard to get?"
"I'm playing hard to get? You're ridiculous! I've made it perfectly clear every time that there's no way we can be together, no way. You're the one with the problem, clinging to illusions and thinking I'm playing hard to get. I'm just too soft-hearted and wanted to give you some face, so I didn't tell you directly that I don't like you and you should get lost! You're like a toad trying to eat swan meat!"
Liu Dazhuang was so angry that his veins bulged. He pointed at Su Jinru, speechless.
"Su Jinru, do you believe I'll cripple you?"
Yuan Wenjie: "You have quite the nerve. Was I too polite to you just now, making you think you can bully my wife even in front of me?"
"Do you know what crimes it is to disrupt military marriages and harm military families? If you don't, let me tell you, losing your job is the least of your worries; you might end up in jail."
"You work at a steel factory, right? How about I go to your factory tomorrow morning and talk to your factory manager about your situation?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Dazhuang immediately backed down.
"Don't you dare do anything reckless. What does my business have to do with our factory manager?"
"Of course there's a connection. Breaking up military marriages and harassing military families—do you think you can handle that charge?"
"I won't be coming back again, so please don't go looking for our factory manager."
As Liu Dazhuang spoke, he retreated towards the door.
Upon reaching the door, he hurriedly walked out, but in his haste, he tripped over his own feet and fell flat on his face.
He hurriedly got up, nodded to Su Jinru and Yuan Wenjie, and then left as if he were fleeing.
Su Jinru held back her laughter as she watched his disheveled appearance until he had walked away.
"So despicable, like a toad trying to eat swan meat," Yuan Wenjie said.
"He should give up now!"
Yuan Wenjie: "Should I go to his workplace tomorrow morning and scare him again?"
"No need! He didn't do anything excessive. He was just talking. In reality, he wouldn't dare to do anything. There's no need to push this villain too far."
After all, Su Jinru was a woman raising two children alone. She only wanted Liu Dazhuang to give up on her, so there was no need to go to extremes.
"If he stops harassing you from now on, that's fine. But if he does something else, tell me, and I'll help him to the end. I'm determined to handle this matter."
