CHAPTER 380: CHAPTER 380: CAUGHT IN THE ACT (SECOND UPDATE)

"Wow, you guys brought back quite a lot of stuff," Wang Aihua said, eyeing their possessions with envy.

Ever since Tang Zhengde and his brothers went to the county to open a store, and Tang Mingli went to the garment factory, the gap between Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli and their brother Tang Zhengyuan became quite significant.

Wang Aihua’s life at home was not too bad, but when compared to the families of Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli, it certainly fell short.

Especially since they all lived in the county, while her family lived in the village.

Wang Aihua was very jealous at heart.

Zhang Hualian exchanged a few cold words.

After calling everyone, Tang Yue went into the old house.

The house hadn’t been lived in for years, and although Granny Tang cleaned it frequently, it still felt off due to the lack of people.

Tang Yue and Zhang Hualian were tidying up the old house.

They would still need to stay overnight today; the quilts were all brought back from the county, and although they wouldn’t stay in the village daily during the New Year, they would need to stay for a few days.

Dinner was at Granny Tang’s house.

A big family gathered together for a reunion dinner, Granny Tang was very cheerful, especially proud and elated seeing her sons’ achievements.

During the meal, Tang Zhengyuan brought up the matter of renovating the house.

Now Tang Zhengyuan had also saved some money; although he couldn’t afford a new house, renovating the old one was still feasible.

Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli exchanged glances, having thoughts, but hadn’t spoken yet.

Night.

The three brothers, Tang Zhengde, discussed pooling money together for a new house. Of course, since Granny Tang lived with Tang Zhengyuan, he would contribute most, while Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli each contributed a bit, just to get the house built.

Tang Zhengyuan was thankful in his heart for his brothers’ help; without them, he wouldn’t have today’s good life.

Somehow, Tang Zhengyuan hadn’t yet told Wang Aihua about the new house, leading her to think the brothers didn’t care at all, constantly muttering to herself about them getting rich but not caring for their mother-in-law.

As the New Year approached, the village was bustling.

Tang Yue, having nothing better to do during the day, went to a grassy area on the back hill to sunbathe. The lawn was high, with a rice drying shed nearby, and Tang Yue lay on a small open area behind this shed. She wore a military green jacket today and laid down on the lawn, surrounded by dry straw piles that almost hid her from view if not looked at closely.

Basking in the warm sunshine, Tang Yue lay on a mat, feeling extraordinarily sleepy.

In a drowsy state, Tang Yue faintly heard some noises but didn’t respond immediately; she was lying on her side, deeply asleep, and was startled by the strange sounds, thinking she’d misheard.

In broad daylight, to be so bold?

Tang Yue couldn’t help but feel a surge to curse. She sneakily looked over; people were talking in the rice shed, though they weren’t doing "that," but...

Just hearing the voices, Tang Yue felt it was too excessive under the bright sun; couldn’t they go home if they wanted to be intimate?

Soon, Tang Yue figured it out; indeed, they couldn’t go home.

That female voice talking wasn’t her egregious aunt.

And although she didn’t recognize the male voice, it was definitely someone from the village.

Tang Yue felt an urge deep inside to curse; how could Wang Aihua be so bold?

They were all at home.

Uncle was also at home.

If Uncle Tang Zhengyuan wasn’t at home, wouldn’t Wang Aihua have turned the world upside down?

No, Granny Tang was at home, and even if Granny Tang wasn’t at home, Guo Li, who was pregnant, was there as well, along with Tang Min.

Nowadays, Tang Xian was also engaged in the bamboo business in the village, and although it didn’t bring in much money, he could definitely provide for himself and his spouse.

In the evening, Wang Aihua couldn’t come out. Thinking of this, Tang Yue began to understand a bit.

But...why did she have to encounter such things?

Tang Yue closed her eyes, feeling that it wasn’t right to speak out, yet keeping it bottled up inside made her unhappy.

For the next two days, Tang Yue was so tormented by this matter that she almost couldn’t contain it.

Several times, Tang Yue wanted to talk to Tang Zhengde about it, but she had no evidence, and it wasn’t just about whether Tang Zhengde would believe her. Catching a thief red-handed is one thing, but catching a woman and her accomplice based on what she overheard was clearly not right.

As the New Year was approaching, Zhang Hualian was so busy that she didn’t notice Tang Yue’s distress.

God knows if it was really looking out for Tang Yue, just when she was about to confide in someone, Wang Aihua, doomed by her actions, was caught by another man’s wife, causing a huge scandal in Qianjin Village.

When Tang Zhengyuan saw Wang Aihua being pinned down and beaten up, he said coldly, "We’re getting a divorce, and I’m keeping both children."

"No," Wang Aihua, who couldn’t bear the thought of divorce, hurriedly said, "They misunderstood, nothing happened between us."

Tang Zhengyuan looked at Wang Aihua deeply, took a deep breath, turned, and walked away, completely ignoring Wang Aihua who was chasing after him.

Tang Zhengyuan locked himself in his room; in fact, over the past six months, he had noticed something off about Wang Aihua. His visits home increased from once a month to two, four, six, even eight times.

Whenever he had time, he would come home to spend more time with his family, also giving Wang Aihua a chance to reform.

He thought that Wang Aihua could change, but who would have thought...

When Granny Tang heard the news, she cursed their family’s misfortune, and when Wang Aihua came over, Granny Tang gave her another beating, crying until her eyes turned red.

In Qianjin Village, Wang Aihua became someone nobody wanted to associate with.

In the evening, worried that Tang Zhengyuan might do something rash, his brothers Tang Zhengde and Tang Mingli, though Tang Zhengyuan appeared dejected, his condition wasn’t too bad.

Tang Zhengyuan called his children over to talk about the divorce.

Both Tang Xian and Tang Min declared they would stay with Tang Zhengyuan, not Wang Aihua.

The divorce proceedings went unusually quickly; Tang Zhengyuan divorced Wang Aihua before the New Year.

Tang Yue really wanted to give a big thumbs up for Tang Zhengyuan’s actions.

Wang Aihua was cheating now and had not stopped in the past, in the previous life, Tang Zhengyuan, due to his incompetence, had worn one green hat after another, his head covered in green.

After the rebirth, everyone had changed for the better, and everything was moving in a positive direction.

On New Year’s Day, even though Wang Aihua was absent, the Tang family’s home was still bustling.

The Tang family had absolutely no good impression of Wang Aihua, let alone when she did such a thing; thus, the divorce did not affect everyone’s good mood.

The New Year, quietly arrived.

Time stepped into 1990, and after the New Year passed, Tang Yue would be twenty years old.

Twenty years old, reaching the legal marriageable age.
