Yanzi Valley of Jingcheng

Chapter 130

"So when Lao Liu was with you, he was already married to Ma Yu? Was it an affair within marriage?" Guan Sha asked.

"En." Shen Li replied lightly.

Guan Sha frowned, "If that's the case, you are a victim at all?! Sister Shen Li, you are not called a 'little three', but a 'belittle three'. The bad guy is Lao Liu! Immoral! A scumbag!"

"He's not a scumbag!" Shen Li retorted with firm eyes.

Guan Sha was stunned for half a second, "What? Not scum? I asked you for the first time, cheated your feelings, asked you to give birth to him, cheated in marriage, not scum?!"

"Old Liu really loves me!" Shen Li emphasized, "Otherwise, wouldn't it be better if he asked me to kill the child directly? But he didn't. I said I wanted to give birth, and he said yes, he respected my Choose, and he will do his best to take care of us."

Shen Li's remarks made Guan Sha's head ache, "Sister Shen Li, I always thought you were a very smart person, you should be able to see clearly who is right, why are you so stupid when it comes to yourself?!"

Shen Li looked serious, "I'm not stupid, what I said is true, the person old Liu loves is me, not Ma Yu."

"Okay! You said he loved you, so why didn't he marry you when you told him you were pregnant?!" Guan Sha said loudly.

"I was 18 when I was pregnant, and 19 when I gave birth, and I was not yet of legal marriage age. Even if we wanted to get married, the Civil Affairs Bureau would not go through the formalities."

Guan Sha blinked her eyes when she heard the words. The legal marriage age for women in our country is 20 years old. She was so excited to hear the story that she forgot about it.

"Then... what happened after that? It should have been a year or two from when you had a child to the age of 20. Why didn't he divorce Ma Yu after that and marry you?"

"It's not that he doesn't want to leave, but he can't leave." Shen Li said.

"What do you mean you can't leave? Could it be that Ma Yu is threatening to commit suicide by hanging herself? She doesn't look like that kind of person..."

"Because they didn't get the certificate."

"what?"

Seeing that Guan Sha was completely dumbfounded, Shen Li patiently explained, "Lao Liu and Ma Yu didn't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the marriage procedures, but they had their wedding in a small place in their hometown. In their place, getting a certificate is not considered a marriage. A wedding is the only thing that counts, so Lao Liu and Ma Yu didn't have a marriage certificate at the time, so naturally they couldn't get a divorce."

"This..." Guan Sha scratched her head, "Wait a minute... Let me take a look... That is to say, Lao Liu was legally single and unmarried at the time, and then he had a child with you, but because he had We had a wedding in my hometown, so relatives and friends all think that Ma Yu is his wife, but in fact he is single, at least legally, so he is not considered cheating in marriage but just falling in love?"

"Well, legally speaking, that's the case." Shen Li said.

"But it's also scumbag! It's not scumbag to stand on two boats!" Guan Sha sighed, "Sister Shen Li, it's immoral and unacceptable for him to do this from beginning to end! He cheated two women, if he falls in love with For you, he should have made it clear to Ma Yu from the beginning, telling her that the wedding is not counted, and he needs to get a certificate from you."

When Shen Li heard what Guan Sha said, she didn't speak any more.

"Sister, when did you know that Lao Liu has a wife?"

"Qinqin is 9 years old." Shen Li replied.

"Ah?" Guan Sha was completely shocked, she said that paper could not cover the fire, this man named Lao Liu was able to cover the fire for 9 years, counting the days when he fell in love with Shen Li and became pregnant, it was 10 years up.

"Why did it take so long? Don't tell me you haven't asked him to get married in the past 9 years?"

"Of course I did."

Shen Li was telling the truth. On her 20th birthday, she proposed to Lao Liu about choosing a wedding date. That day Liu Qinqin was over one year old and had just learned to walk.

Old Liu said yes, but he didn't want to get married so hastily.

"I will get married once in my life. I hope my wedding is the grandest, and my bride should be the most beautiful. You have sacrificed so much for me, your studies... originally you could graduate from university smoothly, but in the future Maybe it's because of me...so I want to give you a wedding worthy of you."

Old Liu's words touched Shen Li very much. Originally, I couldn't get married before my age, and I couldn't blame others. Now I really can't be hasty in putting marriage on the agenda. It's only once in a lifetime. There's nothing wrong with planning the wedding well.

So Shen Li began to wait. A few months later, she didn't wait for the wedding. What she waited for was a house that Lao Liu bought her. The house was not big, with two bedrooms and one living room, but Shen Li's name was written on it.

Shen Li was very pleasantly surprised by this house, Lao Liu said, "We have a family now, I will try to earn money, and when Qinqin goes to elementary school, I will change to a bigger one."

Maybe it was because of this house, or maybe it was because Lao Liu spent less time on business trips that year, and spent three or four months with Shen Li in a year, so the marriage was delayed for another year.

When Qinqin was two years old, Shen Li was about to bring up the matter again, but Lao Liu said that he was unemployed.

Lao Liu's unemployment is indeed true. In those years, the venture capital industry was very difficult to do, because the public did not have a deep understanding of this industry, especially the domestic and local investment institutions were not well-known, so that good business owners tended to prefer They prefer to take money from foreign venture capital, and those bosses who cannot get money from foreign capital are mostly unable to do their own business. Even if the business is successful, the boss is more inclined to go to the bank to mortgage loans instead of selling equity.

Old Liu was forced to change careers temporarily. It was a fact that the venture capital firm he worked at that time went bankrupt. Shen Li also found out on the Internet, so Shen Li felt very sympathetic to Lao Liu's situation, and did not urge him to hold a wedding or get a certificate that year. thing.

In a blink of an eye, Qinqin was three years old, and Lao Liu also found a new job in a securities company. Shen Li brought up the matter of marriage again. This time, Shen Li not only proposed to get married, but also asked to meet Lao Liu's parents.

Because before when Shen Li made this request, Lao Liu would prevaricate it with reasons such as business trips, busy projects, long distances, and poor health of her parents. But now Qinqin is 3 years old, and Shen Li has already turned 20 years old. Because the shame of having a child at a young age and being pregnant before marriage gradually faded with the passage of time, she had enough courage to meet Qinqin's grandparents.

However, Shen Li didn't expect that Lao Liu still refused in disguise with some innocuous reasons.

"I just want to see your parents. There is no reason why Qinqin hasn't seen her grandparents for three years. You have met my parents. You know my family well, but what about your parents? I don't know anything."

"They are the farmers in the village. I have told you many times. Our village is a poor area with underdeveloped information. The water heater was installed recently, and my parents don't know how to install the phone. Otherwise, I will give them to you later. They buy a mobile phone, and you make a phone call with them first.”

"I don't want to look back, I will buy it later, when will I turn back?" Shen Li began to be reluctant, "I can buy it if you don't have time, now you can buy electronic products online, I buy one from Taobao and send it directly."

"They don't know how to use it after you sent it, I have to go back and teach them..." Old Liu laughed, his smile was still so warm, but Shen Li no longer felt that such a smile was the one she had in the rainy season. A ray of sunshine.
