Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 585 - 567: Lin Wan’s Counterattack (Part 2)

Chapter 585: Chapter 567: Lin Wan’s Counterattack (Part 2)

Li Liang furrowed his brow, stroked his chin, and sneered, "Am I stupid? With this matter, I know I can go home and secretly threaten my wife. I’m not afraid she won’t divorce me. Why should I help you write a report letter? What’s your intention coming to find me in this heat?"

Li Congnan chuckled twice and said, "You’re smart. Let me be honest with you: a friend of mine got tangled up in this matter and is now held up at the anti-corruption bureau. I’m not going to beat around the bush. If you don’t help me with this, believe it or not, I’ll spill the beans on your matter. At that time, it won’t just be about whether you can’t divorce; you might end up in serious trouble." He finished speaking with a smile and patted Li Liang’s shoulder, "Buddy! Think it over carefully." Li Liang, guilty, pushed back and said, "What matter do I have?"

"Oh..." Li Congnan wasn’t in a hurry, mimicking Li Liang’s gesture of stroking his chin with a smile, "The wife from North Street Wang Family, named... Ai Mei. Oh, you might not know, her husband works at the police station. And... on the same street you live..."

"Alright, alright, buddy, I’ll write, I’ll help you write, okay?"

"Good..." Li Congnan sensed his attitude and was delighted, feeling his threats worked. He smiled and patted his shoulder, "Good job. To be honest, I’m doing this for your sake. Living with a tigress at home isn’t easy, right?"

After speaking, Li Congnan took out a blank sheet of paper and a pen from his pocket, "I’ll dictate, you write."

"Alright, alright," Li Liang furrowed his brow but nodded in agreement.

After a short time, Li Congnan looked at the letter in his hand, smiled, and said, "Buddy, thanks a lot. Come on, let’s go submit it together."

"Ah... do I have to submit it myself?"

"Of course, it’s your report. You don’t submit it, am I supposed to do it for you?"

"Alright, alright. I’ll go, okay?"

After finishing his words, Li Congnan led Li Liang to the complaint box in front of the anti-corruption bureau. Li Congnan watched from afar as Li Liang reluctantly deposited the letter.

He gestured from a distance, and Li Liang reluctantly gave him a sideways glance, and the two parted ways.

During this time, Lin Wan had been following them on a tricycle.

Once Li Liang boarded a bus and left, Li Congnan then cheerfully walked up to Lin Wan.

"Did it work?"

"It worked!"

Thinking about how shortly Li Liang’s wife’s family would clash with Li Liang’s family, creating a lively spectacle, Lin Wan couldn’t help but want to laugh.

This matter was only half accomplished, but Brother Congnan had been helping us run around for such a long time. Lin Wan let him go home and rest for a while. When there’s any news, he would call their factory.

After Lin Wan rode her bike to send Li Congnan home, instead of returning home, she headed to a place she’d been in her past life.

In front of Li Liang’s house. Lin Wan knew and purposely found a small alley where Wei Xue frequently passed by to wait for her.

Lin Wan checked the time. By now, it was about time for her to get off work.

To prevent Li Liang from recognizing her, Lin Wan had specifically bought a large straw hat on her way here to cover her face.

Thinking of how in her past life she was beaten by Wei Xue until she miscarried, with a bruised face, and even ended up in the hospital.

Lin Wan wouldn’t let her off easily either.

As Wei Xue passed by, she was chatting with another woman, her words seemingly less cheerful than the woman’s attempts to ingratiate herself.

"Xue, let’s agree on this matter. When your big brother (the other woman’s man) becomes the group leader at the Agriculture Bureau, I’ll surely treat you to a great meal. Tell me, whatever you want to eat is fine."

"Forget about treating me, it’s just a matter of words. Besides, my big brother is a hard worker. I originally thought of going to Shuxiang Pavilion for a meal, but who knew they closed down these days."

"Hey, what’s the big deal? When they reopen, I’ll take you and Brother Liang for a proper meal. But I’ve heard something happened at Shuxiang Pavilion and the Industrial and Commercial Bureau even stabbed one of the employees there a few days ago."

"Really?"

"Sure is."

"We shouldn’t care about them, as long as we’re comfortable. Whenever they open, we’ll go, and if not, we’ll find another restaurant."

"Yes, yes, yes." The woman echoed with a pile of smiles on her face, internally lamenting how calculating Wei Xue was. Every time they went out, Wei Xue insisted on ordering dishes worth over a dozen yuan, and she wouldn’t relent, usually taking the leftovers as embarrassing doggy bags.

"Hey, thinking of my husband, everyone on the street knows, he has no skills. Isn’t it my father who arranges everything at work for him? Yet with that, he still doesn’t do well and keeps messing around outside. Recently you saw, he’s been clamoring for a divorce."

The woman raised her eyebrows, seeming to advise, "It’s been better lately."

"It’s not better; he’s just afraid to make a fuss. With the current crackdown outside, if he dares to divorce me, I’ll report him to the police immediately. Like the family on Front Street, where a husband and wife had a fight and ended up being arrested and sentenced to three years. I can do that too, worst case I’ll do a few years in jail with him. I’m not afraid of losing face."

"Sis, you mustn’t do anything foolish."

"Who wants to do foolish things? You don’t know, my mother-in-law dares not openly quarrel with me but badmouths me behind my back with Li Liang. Isn’t it just because I gave birth to a daughter for them, and now that family planning got me tied up, and I can’t have more kids? Li Liang’s job is secure, and they want to kick me out. But I won’t let them have their way."

"Comrade Wei Xue, your thoughts don’t reflect your husband’s thoughts. I guess there are things you still don’t know, right?" Lin Wan chimed in as they passed by her on the tricycle.

Wei Xue clearly froze, and both women turned to look at the straw-hat-wearing woman on the tricycle whose face was hidden.

"Who are you?"

"Who I am doesn’t matter to you, but I have something that might deeply concern you and your family. Do you want to hear it?"

The two looked at each other in confusion, not knowing Lin Wan’s intentions. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"I want to speak with Wei Xue only."

Able to call her by name, Wei Xue felt a shiver, realizing she needed to talk to her no matter what Lin Wan knew and see what her real purpose was.

Wei Xue signaled the woman beside her, saying, "Saozi, you go ahead, I’ll chat with this lady for a bit."

The woman, being tactful, smiled and said, "You two chat, my kid might be back home, I need to head back."

After speaking, she walked away with a smile.

Left alone, the two watched her walk away, then turned to look at each other.

Wei Xue spoke first, "Sister, what do you want to talk to me about?"

"Sister Wei, you might not know, but your husband has been deeply involved with a woman, and they have maintained contact without interruption."

All of these were Lin Wan’s guesses. After all, when Ye Qing and Mei Langchi were together, she had seen Li Liang approach Ye Qing.

With Li Liang’s type of personality, there must be some lingering connection between the two.

"A woman? Which woman?"

"A woman named Ye Qing. I’m not sure if you know her. But they met a few days ago. Oh right, your husband should be arguing about divorce with you now. That’s instigated by that woman. Moreover, that woman has a kid a few months old. It’s a boy, but... she’s not married."

Lin Wan’s words were enough for Wei Xue to grasp the meaning. With all the fanfare back when they were in school, Wei Xue was sure to know about Ye Qing.

"Sister, where did you hear about this? Is it reliable?"

"You don’t need to ask where I heard from. Besides this, I also know that Li Liang has gone to the anti-corruption bureau to complain about your family, accusing them of abusing their position to receive bribes."

"What? Li Liang doesn’t have the guts."

Wei Xue’s voice suddenly raised sharply, making Lin Wan secretly feel sorry for Li Liang.

"Whether your husband has the guts, I don’t know. But I still remind you to be careful since they are privately planning to use this to threaten you into a divorce. Be cautious. Oh, and that Ye Qing lives on South Street now..."

"How does Li Liang know about this?"

Lin Wan knew she would ask this. She smiled and whispered in her ear, "The director of the unit your father found is from the same unit Ye Qing belongs to. Ye Qing must have found out and secretly told your husband."

"Bastard Li Liang, see how I deal with you when I get back."

"Why are you telling me this?"
