Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 706 - 682: Divorce

"Those two?..." Lin Wan squinted and froze for a moment, instantly understanding, "Could it be that Ye Weijun found them?"

"More than just found them, they even got into a fight. Later, for some unknown reason, Du Guangjun wanted to take Qiu Lan Hua and Ye Weijun back to their hometown together. But at the train station, there was some commotion, and Ye Weijun took advantage of Du Guangjun’s distraction and directly took Qiu Lan Hua away."

"...maybe he took Qiu Lan Hua back home?" Ye Weijun, the kind of person who finds out his wife has cheated on him, wouldn’t just let it go.

Du Guangjun going back with them must have a reason.

"Who knows, anyway, Du Guangjun has been extremely anxious these past few days."

"Could it be that Qiu Lan Hua didn’t tell Du Guangjun her home address?" Lin Wan didn’t know what they were up to, but one thing was certain: Ye Weijun taking Qiu Lan Hua back home would spell trouble for her, and if Qiu Lan Hua was in trouble, Ye Qing wouldn’t fare much better.

"He should know, but perhaps he’s scared to go alone... huh?"

The two weren’t directly involved, so they didn’t know the specifics. But with Qiu Lan Hua taken away by Ye Weijun, Ye Qing wouldn’t have peace. There are still things she needs to take care of.

Seems like I’ll have to find some trouble for her from now on, otherwise she’ll always be plotting against me.

The day after coming back from the hospital, a snowstorm hit.

Lin Wan spent the entire day at home with the child watching TV. The next day, she dressed the child warmly to build a snowman together.

Little Star loved playing with the older kids in the yard; as soon as she went out, she joyfully followed them around and had a blast.

Thankfully, none of the older kids were as rough-handed as Miao Miao.

Even Wang Guihua hadn’t been seen around. With such heavy snowfall, all the kids had their classes canceled. Wang Guihua and her daughter seemed content to stay inside; they hadn’t been seen outside for two days.

Lin Wan didn’t know; ever since she got a few sisters-in-law to go watch the drama, she came back and was severely beaten silently by Feng Xiaoxian, who blamed her for ruining his plans. She had just casually mentioned Ye Qing’s situation to others and genuinely couldn’t understand how it had spoiled her husband’s affairs.

The bruises on her face wouldn’t heal for seven or eight days. Feng Xiaoxian wouldn’t let her go outside, and she dared not go out either.

Feng Xiaoxian was also frustrated; originally, Mei Lang had finally come to visit and was staying next door; cozying up was an easy task for him.

Who would’ve thought his wife would mess things up like this, his wife having issues and even being seen by his wife.

No fool would promote someone who knows their past indiscretions to linger around them, especially with such scandalous incidents. It’s just asking to be irritated.

His career path being wrecked again by this wastrel; it’s no wonder he beat her.

...

With the heavy snowfall, their down jackets were going crazy and being snatched up. This time, the jackets were designed to be particularly bulky so people could wear them over cotton-padded clothes. This was just one of the styles; there were three similar designs.

Sufficient stock for them to sell throughout the winter. The remaining four or five styles were targeted at overseas or southern regions. Now, apart from Brother Wu as the big client.

Their shop even served a big client from the south, who came here for an inspection and liked their clothing styles. The first order was for a thousand pieces.

Lin Wan checked the accounts over the past few days; since moving to the camp headquarters and the team, she hadn’t visited Mom and Grandma much.

She bought some canned goods and brown sugar and took Little Star to sit with Mom and Grandma for a while. It was only after five in the evening that she took the child back to the compound.

Who knew Han Yi would be back so early today and had already prepared dinner for them at home?

"Did you have less training today?"

"Xiao Wan, I received a call from Dad today saying Little Grandmother passed away and asked you to return as soon as possible," Han Yi gently took the child and spoke to Lin Wan cautiously.

"What? Little Grandmother was in good health. How could this be?" Lin Wan covered her mouth in disbelief, her eyes immediately reddening.

"They say it was sudden; she slipped and couldn’t get back up." Sudden incidents can be so hard to accept; Han Yi held Lin Wan in his arms and comforted her for a while saying, "Xiao Wan, I’m sorry, I can’t take leave. This time, you have to go back alone. Please burn some incense for Little Grandmother on my behalf."

Due to Li Liang’s issue some time ago, Han Yi had almost used up his leave for this year and even next year, making it difficult to ask for leave now. Lin Wan understood.

"Hmm... I’ll leave for home now."

"It’s dark, I can’t trust you driving, leave tomorrow, and don’t bring the child along. Have Mom watch her for a few days."

"I just came back from Mom’s with Little Star today. Mom is starting her training class tomorrow for a few days and won’t have time to watch Little Star."

"Then leave her at home, I’ll take care of her."

"You? How will you manage? You still have to train."

Han Yi smiled, "No worries, I’ll take her to the camp headquarters and team; those leaders in the office are pretty idle anyway; Little Star can keep them company."

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him; those leaders are busy all day, how could they help babysit?

"Tonight, I’ll pack some clothes for Little Star. Let her stay with Aunt Jin for a few days."

Han Yi didn’t argue; that arrangement seemed best.

Little Grandmother’s passing came as a shock. Lin Wan couldn’t sleep through the night, contemplating constantly. If not for Han Yi comforting her, it’s unclear whether she would have been able to drive the next day.

Early in the morning, Lin Wan packed a few clothes for herself and a bag for Little Star.

Han Yi watched her leave the compound.

After dropping Little Star off at Aunt Jin’s shop, Lin Wan drove straight to Z City.

She finally reached Z City the next morning to meet up with Mom and Dad. This time, having her own car helped; the family drove back in Lin Wan’s car.

Saozi, being pregnant, couldn’t travel, so Mom didn’t let her go.

The four of them arrived home, which was already three days later. It was only on the day of their arrival that the coffin was first covered.

Funerals here are quite elaborate. They expected to stay at home for another two or three days.

Little Grandmother’s sudden passing left the villagers sighing deeply.

They all said Little Grandmother was unlucky; just when good times were about to begin, she left without a word.

Some said the Liang Family was blessed, as the elders in the family passed quickly without causing much trouble to the younger generation.

Liang the Elder was ill for just a few days before passing, the eldest daughter-in-law starved to death, and Liang the Second died young without suffering much. Now, his wife passed abruptly as well.

Indeed, it saved the younger generation a lot of trouble.

Aside from Little Grandmother’s sudden death, there was something else in the village drawing interest.

Ye Weijun brought Qiu Lan Hua back. On the first day, he beat her so badly her face was unrecognizable.

Rumor had it that he tormented Qiu Lan Hua through the night. The child beside them cried for most of the night, and the neighbors heard it.

If not for Old Man Qiu coming over to take his daughter and grandchild away, Ye Weijun might have tortured Qiu Lan Hua to death. The two Qiu brothers fiercely beat Ye Weijun for it. Ye Weijun, unwilling to back down, exposed Qiu Lan Hua’s affair with another man and the humiliation he suffered.

Upon awakening, Qiu Lan Hua resolutely wanted to divorce Ye Weijun, this time entirely supported by the Qiu family. However, Ye Weijun was unwilling.

Old Man Qiu, being a long-serving village secretary, still had his prestige, and with Qiu Lan Hua badly beaten, villagers sympathized with her quite a bit. Even Ye Weijun’s claims of her infidelity abroad didn’t stir much response, as people judged by what they saw; Ye Weijun’s actions were excessive. Nearly killing someone, no woman would stay with him.

Seeing the villagers sided with their family, Old Man Qiu took his daughter to petition at the team’s office. Back in those days, marriages were registered at the team office with an introduction letter, a marriage certificate stamped by the couple and the team.

Wanting a divorce now required a separation deed written at the team office, with both parties stamping it.

Ye Weijun stubbornly refused, so Old Man Qiu directly asked the village secretary to help write the separation deed, assigning his granddaughter to his daughter, and with his two sons, they pressured Ye Weijun into stamping it.

The marriage was considered over. Ye Weijun was indignant, rolling and arguing at the team office entrance all afternoon, threatening to sue the Qiu family and the village secretary.

Yet nobody paid him any heed, and Ye Weijun suffered a loss.

Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have rushed Qiu Lan Hua home as quickly; at least he would’ve gotten the two thousand yuan into his hands. Now, not a penny came his way.

This embittered Ye Weijun, who, upon returning home, took advantage of the Qiu family’s inattentiveness, and secretly snuck Miao Chunhua out, hiding them.
