Chapter 367: Regret
When the wives of Second Brother Song and Third Brother Song were mentioned, some people couldn’t help but think of Eldest Brother Song’s wife.
“It’s really different strokes for different folks. They are both daughters-in-law of Old Song’s family, but Luo Qiuju is so miserable.”
“It’s also her own fault for being stupid. She was coaxed by her family into divorcing and remarrying. Otherwise, she could have gone to the capital to enjoy a good life.”
“That’s right. She’s just a silly woman. She had a good life but insisted on making trouble.”
“In the past, Eldest Brother Song listened to her every word. Now he’s going to the capital to manage a piece of land, which definitely has a bright future. If they hadn’t divorced, she would be enjoying a good life with him now.”
“It’s also her fate. When Eldest Brother Song goes to the capital and is trained by Chu Chu for a few years, he might even marry a wife from the capital.”
“Only Luo Qiuju could play such a good hand so poorly.”
“By the way, how is she doing now?”
“Not well. I have a relative in the village where she remarried. I heard that her husband beats her whenever he’s unhappy. She even had a miscarriage a few months ago because of the beating.”
“After being beaten, she ran to her parents’ home for support, but she was kicked out. They said a married daughter is like spilled water.”
“Luo Family is too cruel, aren’t they?”
“Of course. Otherwise, would they have deliberately pushed their daughter into a fire pit?”
“In the past, when Luo Qiuju was in Song Family, she often secretly took things to subsidize her family. That’s why Luo Family was happy to coax her. Now, the mother-in-law in her new family is fierce and vicious, and likes to torment her daughter-in-law. Her husband also keeps a close eye on her, not giving her a chance to subsidize her family. So, of course, Luo Family turned their backs on her.”
“Then she’s really miserable now.”
The villagers couldn’t help but sigh. However, not many people sympathized with Luo Qiuju.
After all, what she did in the past was too upsetting. It also confirmed the saying that the pitiful must have something hateful.
Song Chu was already famous in the county, and there was no one in the nearby villages who didn’t know her.
The news that she had scored the top in the exam and was taking her whole family to the capital naturally spread to the surrounding villages, making everyone envious of Old Song Family.
Even more, many people were regretting that if they had known that the good-for-nothing Song Lao Si was so capable now, they would have married their daughters to him earlier.
It’s a pity that they heard that Song Lao Si went to work on a big project and didn’t even come back this time. Otherwise, there might still be some hope.
Second Brother Song and Third Brother Song both had wives, so no one set their sights on them.
However, Eldest Brother Song, who was originally divorced and had two children and was considered unsalable, suddenly became popular.
In the surrounding villages, not only widows and divorcees wanted to marry him, but even some unmarried young women wanted to marry him. The matchmakers almost wore out the threshold of Song Family’s door.
Although he was divorced and had two children, he was quite handsome, honest, and hardworking. More importantly, he had an awesome younger sister. With Song Chu’s help, his future would definitely not be bad.
Marrying him now meant being able to go to the capital to enjoy a good life. What a great thing!
So what if he’s divorced? He’s in better condition than many men who have only been married once.
Eldest Brother Song never expected that he would be so popular with the ladies one day. However, he really couldn’t enjoy this kind of blessing. It was too scary.
Even when he went to work in the fields, he would encounter several women who would wink at him or pretend to fall. It got to the point where he didn’t even dare to go out.
He was originally reluctant to leave the land he had been farming for a long time and the pigs he had raised. But now, when he heard his little sister say to pack up and go to the capital, he immediately started packing without a second word, decisively leaving this place of trouble.
Although he wasn’t very smart, he could guess why these women suddenly wanted to marry him, a divorced man. He was determined not to be taken advantage of.
Because his eldest maternal uncle was the village’s production team leader, and with Song Chu’s connections and influence in the county town, all the relationship certificates for Old Song Family were processed quickly.

When Tang Feng and Song Youfu resigned, the factory director even came out to persuade them to stay and deliberately curry favor with them, of course, because of Song Chu.
On this day, when everyone in Song Family boarded the train to the capital, Luo Qiuju ran to Xiaba Village.
Although the place where she remarried was relatively remote, the news that Song Chu had scored the top in the exam and was taking Old Song Family to the capital still spread back.
When the villagers talked about Old Song Family’s daughters-in-law, they were all envious.
Of course, for her, Eldest Brother Song’s ex-wife, there was more schadenfreude, ridicule, and watching the drama.
Luo Qiuju also regretted it now. She shouldn’t have listened to her family’s instigation and become estranged from Eldest Brother Song. Otherwise, she could have gone to the capital to enjoy a good life.
Now, her life was like soaking in bitter water, which was incomparable to her life in Song Family.
She used to think that her mother-in-law was too fierce and her sister-in-law was not good. But compared with her current mother-in-law, that bit of fierceness was nothing. At least Tang Feng never deliberately tormented her daughter-in-law, nor did she only let her work without giving her enough food.
Therefore, when she heard that Eldest Brother Song was leaving for the capital in the next two days, she finally found an opportunity to run out.
Anyway, she and her current man didn’t have a marriage certificate. She just wanted to go to the capital with Eldest Brother Song and start over. She really couldn’t stand her current bitter life anymore.
But when she ran to Song Family, she found that the gate was locked with a large lock that hadn’t been used for many years, indicating that the family had already left.
She didn’t have a certificate from the team, nor did she have any money, so she couldn’t chase after them or go directly to the capital to find them.
Looking at the familiar house and gate, she couldn’t help but constantly recall how Eldest Brother Song used to dote on her and treat her well. She squatted on the ground and cried loudly.
She regretted it!
While Luo Qiuju was regretting, on the other side, Song Ping’s ex-husband, Li Dong, was also regretting.
Everyone knew that Song Chu had scored the top in the exam. Soon, news came from Xiaba Village that Song Ping and Tang Youhua had also passed the university entrance examination, and their future was limitless.
When Song Ping returned to her hometown before going to university, Li Dong heard about it and secretly went to see her. He found that she had undergone a complete transformation.
Her skin was much fairer. She was already tall, and she was dressed fashionably. She looked beautiful and capable. If he didn’t know her so well, he would have thought she was a girl from the provincial capital.
He couldn’t help but want to go up and ask her to give him another chance to reconcile.
But just as he was about to go out and block her way, he saw a tall, handsome man beside Song Ping. The man was dressed in a way that showed he was not an ordinary person. It was obvious that he had driven here specifically to pick her up.
Song Ping was holding a very delicate and beautiful little boy. The man got out of the car and first helped the boy into the car, then opened the door for her. The three of them talked and laughed as they got into the car. The atmosphere and feeling were like that of a family.
This made Li Dong’s feet feel like they had taken root and sprouted, and he was fixed in place. In the end, he still couldn’t run out.
It was because the man made him feel too ashamed. There was no comparison between them, and it also made him understand that the distance between him and Song Ping had become too great.
She had become a cloud in the sky, while he was still mud on the ground.
He only regretted that he had been blinded by lard and had lost such a good wife. He could never find her again. He regretted it…
