Tong Xuelu looked the woman up and down. She was around 27 – 28 years old. Her skin was dark but Tong Xuelu figured out who the woman was when she looked at the little girl.

The woman was the wife of Ma Mei’s affair who had been sent to the village.But why was she here?“Hi, are you Comrade Tong?” Huo Xiangqiao smiled at Tong Xuelu apologetically.Tong Xuelu nodded and pretended that she didn’t recognize her. “And you are?”Huo Xiangqiao, “Hi, Duan Wenfu is my ex-husband. I am here to thank you.”Tong Xuelu frowned a little. “I have nothing to do with the matters of your husband.”Huo Xiangqiao, “Right, right. Comrade Tong is so right. This had nothing to do with Comrade Tong. It was what that idiot deserved.”She had gone to junior high school with Ma Mei and Duan Wenfu. When the country was sending educated youth to the villages, the three of them were placed in the same production team.She got along well with Ma Mei and had thought of Ma Mei as her best friend. She shared all of her secrets with Ma Mei and Ma Mei was also the one who talked her into being with Duan Wenfu.Ma Mei had only been there for less than a year when her relatives got her back into the city. Huo Xiangqiao and Duan Wenfu, not looking like they could leave the village, got married and had a child together. When the child was 2 years old, Ma Mei suddenly said that she could get Duan Wenfu a job at a metal factory.And, just like that, Duan Wenfu returned to the city, bringing their daughter with him. Huo Xiangqiao was left behind in the village by herself.She was thankful to Ma Mei at the time. She thought that Ma Mei only referred the job to her husband for the sake of taking care of her.She didn’t know that the two disgusting people were having an affair behind her back!No wonder Ma Mei had all sorts of excuses when she had begged to get her to the city. As it turned out, Ma Mei had never intended for her to return to the city!Had it not been what happened this time, she would have been kept in the dark for the rest of her life!Tong Xuelu found Ma Mei even more disgusting after founding out that she was good friends with Huo Xiangqiao.Watch out for thieves, robbers, and [female] best friends. The saying was made for someone like Ma Mei.The woman in front of her, however, was a rare one with a clear head. She did not cry like the sky was crumbling or asked for mercy for her husband after she had learned of the affair.Tong Xuelu gave the little girl a look. Seeing that the girl still a little pale, she paused and asked, “Is your daughter allergic to peanuts?”Huo Xiangqiao was taken aback a little. “How do you know that? Dai Ya can’t have peanuts. Every time she had it she would break out into cold sweat, be listless and sleeps for a long time. The doctor told us that she is allergic to peanuts and told us that she will fine as long as she stays away from peanuts.”She knew it!Duan Wenfu was a lowly scum!Tong Xuelu told her about what she had seen the other day. “Your ex-husband had been feeding peanuts to your daughter every time he met up with Ma Mei.”Huo Xiangqiao’s face dropped all of a sudden. She squatted down and asked her daughter, “Dai Ya, tell mommy. Had daddy been feeding you peanuts?”Dai Ya blinked her listless eyes and nodded. “Mmhmm, Daddy would bring lots of peanuts for Dai Ya. And he would scold Dai Ya if Dai Ya didn’t want any.”Huo Xiangqiao was so angry that her eyes could crack. Biting down hard on her lips, she had cussed out the scum Duan Wenfu a million times.She had thought that it was disgusting enough that he was having an affair with Ma Mei. Little did she know that he didn’t even have the basic morals of a human being!Huo Xiangqiao looked awful and it took her a while to calm herself down. “Thank you, Comrade Tong. I might never have found this out had you not told me.”Huo Xiangqiao had made up her mind that she would be changing Dai Ya’s surname as soon as she got home.Scums like him did not deserve to have children!Tong Xuelu was just about to tell her that was no necessary when Huo Xiangqiao shoved a bag into her arms and took off running with her daughter in her arms.Tong Xuelu was startled by her action. She opened up the bag and saw inside of it 5 jin of pork and a jar of malt milk.That was a bit excessive.She thought about chasing down Huo Xiangqiao and returning them to her but then she remembered how Huo Xiangqiao ran away like she was being chased by a ghost.She was completely gone in the blink of an eye.Tong Xuelu wasn’t sure what to make of that.Ah well, guess she should not let her appreciation go to waste.Tong Xuelu’s lips curved upward when she thought about having meat again that night.
