Chapter 228 Hometown (4)
"Who dares to laugh at me? I'm an orphan, and I have nothing to lose."
Du Mei knew that this scoundrel was called that because people generally didn't dare to mess with him. If they did, he would skin them alive.
Du Mei thought that if she married Lai Gou, with their shameless and shameless nature, maybe others would really be afraid of them and wouldn't dare to continue to make things difficult for her or insult her.
After all, these days, many people are quite timid because they want to protect themselves and their families.
Maybe this scoundrel can actually protect her.
She needs to rely on some strength to survive, and to live more comfortably.
In this world, no one is willing to help her; perhaps only this scoundrel can be relied upon.
Du Mei's greatest skill in life is being able to assess the situation and seize opportunities.
Du Mei continued to probe Lai Gou.
“Lai Gou, I think Qi Zhengyang is nothing compared to you. I was blind to marry him. Actually, he was the one who provoked me first, forcing me to marry him. I really regret it! I should have married you instead of him. You are much better than him.”
"Really? But he used to be a teacher, and a principal at that!"
"But now he's nothing! He can't even protect his own wife, what kind of man is he? You, Lai Gou, aren't you also someone who can't protect his wife, are you?"
"Of course, if you were my wife, I'd slap anyone who dared to insult you."
"You're not lying to me, are you? If I divorce Qi Zhengyang and you don't marry me, I'll have no choice but to die."
"How could I bear to let you die? Divorce Qi Zhengyang and I'll marry you right away."
Du Mei was completely disappointed in Qi Zhengyang and had no desire to continue living with him.
She hasn't brought up divorce yet, simply because she has no other options.
Now that she has Lai Gou as a fallback option, as long as she can leave Qi Zhengyang, this man who causes her so much trouble, she is willing to jump over any obstacle, even if it's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire.
After returning home that day, Du Mei proposed a divorce to Qi Zhengyang.
At this point, Du Mei had become a burden to Qi Zhengyang.
Especially during this period, Du Mei confronted everyone she met, regardless of whether they were men or women. Anyone who mocked her, she would say that she had an affair with the other person or their man, which scared them into shutting up.
Therefore, Qi Zhengyang has now become the target of ridicule.
His wife goes around telling everyone she's slept with this man and that man; it's no wonder he's ridiculed.
Although everyone knew that Du Mei's words were probably just a way of retaliating against others, the fact that a woman could say such things without any shame still made Qi Zhengyang feel extremely ashamed.
So when Du Mei brought up divorce, Qi Zhengyang felt a strange sense of relief.
The reason why Qi Zhengyang did not divorce Du Mei immediately was because divorce was also a shameful thing for him.
At this time, very few people got divorced. Divorce was a disgrace not only for women but also for men.
However, things have developed to this point.
The hurt was far less than the shame that the divorce brought him.
So Qi Zhengyang thought about it all night and agreed to Du Mei's request. The two of them went to get a divorce the next morning.
Du Mei had just returned to the village after her divorce and went to find Lai Gou. In front of everyone, she said to Lai Gou, "Lai Gou, I'm divorced from Qi Zhengyang. Here's the divorce certificate, a state-issued divorce certificate. I'm free now. Do you want to marry me? If so, let's go get our marriage certificate this afternoon."
Everyone was shocked by Du Mei's words.
How could this despicable woman talk about things like divorce and marriage so casually!
And in front of so many people.
She is a slut in every sense of the word.
A woman like her, who has already been divorced twice, is now shamelessly asking to marry an old man right after her divorce.
She can't live without a man for even a moment!
Lai Gou was also stunned.
Yesterday, he approached Du Mei with the intention of taking advantage of her, but he didn't expect that Du Mei was such a bold and direct woman. She saw through his intentions immediately and said it out loud. Under her teasing, Lai Gou started to speak without restraint.
Unexpectedly, Du Mei actually took it seriously.
She really did divorce Qi Zhengyang.
Seeing Lai Gou in a daze, Du Mei became anxious. Was this man regretting his decision?
Were all those things I said yesterday afternoon just to fool her?
Du Mei moved closer to the lazy dog.
"You scoundrel, did you go back on your word? Should I tell everyone now that you were a pervert towards me yesterday?"
Du Mei deliberately leaned close to Lai Gou while speaking, and the unique feminine touch of her body made Lai Gou, who had never been with a woman in most of his life, feel somewhat dazed.
He came to his senses.
"Okay, let's go register our marriage now."
"Captain, I need a marriage certificate. Please give me one."
The people around burst into laughter.
"You scoundrel, you want a woman like that too?"
"What kind of woman? What kind of woman am I? Did I sleep with you or with your father?"
"I find you disgusting, how could I possibly sleep with a woman like you?"
"You didn't mind the dirt when you slept with me, but now you think I'm dirty? Do you believe I'll have your dad spank you? You men are just cheapskates, you pull up your pants and then deny everything."
Du Mei's words were blunt and unrestrained, which frightened the other party into shutting up immediately.
The others wanted to make a few sarcastic remarks, but then they remembered that Du Mei had a sharp tongue and would say anything. She might be shameless, but they were concerned about their own reputation!
Everyone could only remain silent and watch Lai Gou and Du Mei.
Du Mei nudged Lai Gou with her arm, and Lai Gou said, "Captain, please help me get a certificate! I'm over fifty years old, and it's not easy for a woman to be willing to marry me."
Sanbao said, "Alright! Lai Gou, as long as you've thought it through, I'll give you this certificate. Don't regret it."
"What do I have to regret? I'm already close to death, with only a few days left to live. I'm already content that there's a woman willing to warm my bed."
Someone nearby finally couldn't help but say, "Lazybones, didn't we already warm up the bed for you? You're so excited, you've lost your mind."
Du Mei said to that person, "I just warmed your bed last night! You seemed pretty into it, but why didn't you lose your mind?"
The other party's wife spat at Du Mei.
"You slut, what nonsense are you spouting? I was with her all day yesterday, how could you be warming the bed with him? Shameless."
Du Mei, however, smiled and showed no sign of anger.
"Really? Then I remembered it wrong. It was either last night, the night before last, or some other night before. Anyway, it wasn't just once or twice. How could I remember it so clearly? Maybe I'll remember it more clearly next time and tell you the next day."
The other party was so angry that they couldn't speak.
