Siheyuan: Banggeng and I are classmates

Friday

They are going to Xingqing tomorrow. Li Muhua has already asked for leave from her tutor. After explaining things to Yang Liu, they did not go to climb the Great Wall as agreed before.

Knowing Li Qinghua's situation, Yang Liu still sighed on the way to see Li Muhua off: "A couple who got together because of the work in the countryside had to divorce because of returning to the city. Some people are really too frivolous!"

Seeing Yang Liu criticizing current politics, Li Muhua shook her head and said, "It's not realistic for all of them to move to the city. If they can move to the city just by getting married, I'm afraid those educated youth will be in greater danger in the countryside. Maybe they will be forced to get married before they can return to the city."

"Tens of millions of extra people in the city out of nowhere, all of whom need rations and supplies, tens of millions of unemployed, hungry mouths to feed, all of which are destabilizing factors!"

"It's impossible for so many people to cover all aspects, and someone will always suffer."

Speaking of this, Li Muhua couldn't help but think of a special period a few years later.

That is because there are too many idle people in society. Forced to make a living, they all try to find ways to make a living, which gradually develops the social atmosphere into one where crime is everywhere.

If what Yang Liu said were to continue, we would probably have to arrest millions more people.

Yang Liu was a little skeptical and asked, "I think what you said is too scary. Just to go to the city, are there tens of millions of people who treat marriage as a joke?"

When Li Muhua heard her ask such a question, he thought that Yang Liu might have stayed in the military camp for too long, or her father protected her too well and she had never seen the darkness in people's hearts.

"City dwellers can abandon their wives and children to return to the city, so what's wrong with country dwellers using some means to force educated youth to get married in order to enter the city and eat commercial grain?"

Li Muhua pondered and continued, "Back then, Shu Wan and Han Lu were almost forced to marry the old bachelors in the village just to learn from Huang Qixian's spirit. Now that they have to face such a big event as returning to the city, I'm afraid they will become even crazier."

"Besides, even if there is a policy of returning to the city now, returning to the city still needs approval from the Youth League Office. Who knows how many people have given away their virginity and money just to get the stamp of approval—"

Li Muhua's expression was somewhat heavy, with some pity and sympathy, as well as some hatred and disgust, which eventually turned into powerlessness.

When modern people open history books, they only see the glory.

But when you really walk into history and experience every tiny bit of suffering, it is extremely painful.

Li Muhua misses 2019 all the time and laments how difficult life is today.

Yang Liu didn't pay attention to what Li Muhua said later, and only asked: "If you were to get married in the countryside, would you abandon your wife and children to return to the city?"

When Li Muhua heard this question, he put away his serious expression.

He pondered and said, "People with different ideals cannot work together. I am more realistic, so I will never marry someone with a rural household registration in the countryside. I also advised my second brother to do the same when he went to the countryside!"

"What if?" Yang Liu continued to ask, "What if you fall in love with a farm girl and decide to marry her?"

Li Muhua thought for a moment and replied, "Even if something happens, it will be easy for me to go to college and come back to the city. I can just pick her up after graduation. It won't be a hassle!"

"What if you fail to get into university?" Li Muhua said it so easily that Yang Liu asked with gritted teeth.

Li Muhua roughly understood what she meant, but still deliberately answered: "Then I might not return to the city. Taking advantage of the historical opportunity of reform and opening up, it's actually quite good to start a business in the countryside!"

Yang Liu took a deep breath and asked, "What if you can't get into college and don't have the ability to start a business, and your family still forces you to return to the city?"

Li Muhua had no choice but to ask directly: "What do you want to ask? Just ask directly!"

After hearing this, Yang Liu simply asked directly: "I just want to ask if you were replaced by your second brother, would you also fake a divorce and return to the city?"

"Of course!" Li Muhua said simply, "We will go back to the city together after the fake divorce, and remarry after we get regular jobs."

"An apprenticeship takes three years." Yang Liu asked, "Can you not abandon your country wife for such a long time and marry a city girl?"

Li Muhua simply nodded and said, "I think I can!"

Seeing Li Muhua's confident answer, Yang Liu did not have any doubt in her eyes and replied: "I believe you, what about your second brother?"

After hearing this, Li Muhua's face showed hesitation. He didn't dare to make this guarantee on behalf of Li Qinghua.

When Li Qinghua came back, he mostly went to drive a truck for the shopping mall's transport team. He was out driving the car all year round and rarely took care of his family. He mostly interacted with young and beautiful sales clerks.

Rural girls have a short flowering period, and Cheng Qiaohui, who has been exposed to the wind and sun, is no longer as young and beautiful as she used to be. Moreover, neither she nor Li Hongmei has a city hukou, so they will have to buy expensive grains in the future.

Who knows if Li Qinghua will change his mind, and if Xu Yan will persuade him to marry another girl who has a job in the city——

Seeing that Li Muhua did not answer, Yang Liu smiled and said, "It seems that you don't trust your second brother either. This time, going to your second sister-in-law's house is a lie."

Seeing Yang Liu telling the truth, Li Muhua simply said directly: "I really don't want to hurt anyone, especially my second sister-in-law."

"He didn't listen to me at first, and now his parents insist on him getting a fake divorce and returning to the city. I'm stuck in the middle and have no choice but to let him return to the city first."

"As for their remarriage, I can only try my best to shorten my second brother's apprenticeship so that they can remarry as soon as possible. As for whether there will be any accidents in the middle, I can't guarantee it!"

Li Muhua couldn't help laughing and said teasingly: "In fact, a marriage certificate can't restrain anyone. The only thing that can restrain oneself is one's heart."

"So in my opinion, their remarriage is even less important. I'm not even sure if I should blame my second brother if this really happens."

Yang Liu shook her head and said, "You are a student at Hua University, and your ideology and moral standards are high. Your second brother is different from you, and your second sister-in-law's family is even more different!"

"I think it will be difficult for you to cheat in the countryside this time."

Li Muhua nodded in agreement. At this time of year, it would be a good thing for them to go to the countryside to discuss a fake divorce and return to the city. It would be a good thing for the Cheng family not to chase them out with a broom, or for them to just get a real divorce.

He said helplessly: "It's my parents' order. Besides, it's because of me that my second brother stayed in the countryside for so long. I should try my best to get him back to the city."

After hearing this, Yang Liu chuckled and said, "You are indeed a person who obeys your parents' orders. I'm afraid there is something else the matchmaker said behind this!"

"Don't go to the countryside, your parents have chosen another Zhou Ru for you."

Yang Liu's eyes were full of amusement.

Li Muhua's already helpless heart became even more helpless, so he simply pretended not to hear it.

Seeing that Li Muhua was speechless again, Yang Liu reached out and held Li Muhua's hand and said, "How about I go with you?"

"I can persuade your sister-in-law as a lesbian, and the success rate of persuading her will be higher. Your parents and I can also spend a few days together in the countryside. Maybe they will like me very much and arrange a marriage for us directly!"

Yang Liu seemed to be joking, but he looked very interested and wanted to go together.
