Chapter 247 Divorce
Chapter 247 Divorce
Yang Lijuan's confidence came from her family. Her father was the old village chief, who was initially selected by the Yi family because he was cautious and honest. Although he later abdicated because of the large number of the Zhuang family, many people in the brigade were willing to give him face because of his accumulation in the early years.
There are three other brothers who are strong and in their prime.
As for Zhuang Mingde, his father was indeed the one who could make decisions among so many people in the Zhuang family, but now he has suffered a stroke. How many people are willing to listen to him?
Even if the Zhuang family were to speak up for Zhuang Mingde because they are relatives, the Yang family could also pull other villagers together to increase their support.
It seems that the two sides are evenly matched.
In fact, Yang Lijuan and Zhuang Mingde didn't know that after the things in the cave were lost last time, the other families had a lot of opinions about Uncle Liu. They felt that if he hadn't been careless and attracted covetous people, their savings would not have been lost.
Why were those things put together? After everyone had robbed the Yi family of all their possessions, they were still not giving up. In the middle of the night, several people sneaked into the Yi family's house and searched everywhere inside and outside.
They found those things together, but they had not decided how to divide them. Finally, Uncle Six said that since they didn't know how to divide them, they would just put them together and wait until peace was restored in the future to convert them into money and divide them equally.
When the others heard this, they agreed. Because a bunch of refugees had no idea how much the property was worth, no matter how they divided it, there would be gains and losses, but who wants to get less? So the jars of treasure were hidden in the cave together.
As for the things that Sixth Uncle hid in the cave nearby, in addition to the things he secretly found from the Yi family, there were also things he secretly hid when he robbed people in the past.
It was already a big blow to the family because so much cash and treasures were stolen from their home, but now even their last drop of blood was taken away. It would be strange if those people didn't hate them.
Although they didn't show it on the surface, everyone might have cursed Uncle Liu in private.
If Zhuang Mingde wants to divorce Yang Lijuan this time, it will be impossible without being skinned alive.
Aunt Yang took her daughter's hand and said to Zhuang Mingde, "You don't have to waste time. Go to the factory and ask for leave. Juan'er and I will go back first and come to your house at noon to discuss the divorce." In this way, if they move fast enough, they can get the divorce certificate in the afternoon at the earliest or tomorrow morning at the latest.
Although divorce is not good for the daughter's reputation, it is better to endure these rumors than to serve the half-dead Uncle Six every day and become a stranger to her husband.
A short pain is worse than a long one. Aunt Yang has thought it through. Since Zhuang Mingde is not a good match, she will just live with her son on Xiaolu!
Men are unreliable, but sons can always be trusted, right?
The old man thought simply that the child was young and would not bear grudges, and as long as his daughter took good care of the grandson, he would always have someone to rely on. But what was the reality? Let's see how lucky Yang Lijuan was.
Zhuang Mingde thought about it and realized that he really had to go home to deal with this matter. If he continued to work, he would most likely be blocked by the butcher's family. Forget it, his life was more important.
The next day, news of Zhuang Mingde and Yang Lijuan's divorce spread quickly throughout the brigade.
"I paid Yang Lijuan 500 yuan. Wow, this Uncle Liu is such a money-grubber."
"Who says it's not? I don't know where this money basket was made. It makes me jealous just looking at it." That's 500 yuan. It would take these old farmers several years to save up that much.
"Keep your voice down. Even if he has money, he has already spent a lot of money this time. Don't make Uncle Six angry."
"Tsk~" Someone in the crowd uttered a disdainful sound.
Before they had finished watching this fresh and exciting thing, a group of murderous strong men rushed into the team and gave the villagers another big surprise.
My goodness, Zhuang Mingde seemed to be a decent guy, but he was actually having affairs outside? No wonder Yang Lijuan wanted to divorce him. Only those who have experienced this pain of having a cheating wife know.
That family tore down the fence of Sixth Uncle's house, smashed a hole in the iron pot, and destroyed everything inside and outside the house. Sixth Uncle, who was paralyzed on the bed, was so angry that he could only breathe out but not breathe in. If the butcher's family hadn't been worried that he would be angry to death on the spot, they might not have stopped so easily.
After the commotion, the whole family turned around and left in a leisurely manner, leaving behind a pile of rags and the amiable Uncle Six with a flushed face.
The younger generations of the banker sighed and stepped forward to help Uncle Six clean up the mess.
Zhuang Mingde squatted on the side of the road, puffing smoke from his cigarette with a worried look on his face.
The old smoking pipe was inherited from Sixth Uncle. After Sixth Uncle became paralyzed, it became difficult for him to smoke, so Zhuang Mingde took it out to play with it when he had nothing to do.
Although it is not a good thing, it is good for exercising your fingers. After playing for a long time, he began to learn how to smoke. Now he has become accustomed to the pungent smell of cigarettes and is even gradually becoming addicted.
Uncle Liu's head felt as if it was about to split open. His eyes stared silently at the beams of the roof, his chest rising and falling faintly, and his deceased wife's shrill cries rang in his mind again.
Retribution? Haha...
By the time Jiang Yu and Xue Li heard about this, the snow was already as high as their calves.
Fang Qianqian and He Yuanchao were chatting while they were cooking in the kitchen in the front yard. Jiang Yu went to the well to fetch water and just listened casually at first, but as he listened he became more interested and went into the kitchen to listen to them talk in detail.
Then he ran to Xue Li's room with the bucket and shared it with her using gestures.
Xue Li opened her mouth wide and her eyes widened, "Divorced?"
"Yeah." Jiang Yu didn't expect the divorce would end so soon. It was such a surprise.
Xue Li closed his mouth, "Zhuang Mingde is such a piece of shit. Just because his father was sick and needed someone to take care of him, he went to Yang Lijuan's house to give gifts and apologize, but then he turned around and looked for another buyer in the commune? What a piece of shit!"
"So is it really so important to carry on the family line?" Jiang Yu didn't quite understand, but when he thought of what Jiang Dazhu had done, even though his adopted son had no blood relationship with him at all, he still favored boys over girls. It seemed that having a male descendant was really a very important thing?
Xue Li shook his head. "Does your family have a throne to inherit? Or a huge fortune? The so-called continuation of the family line is to pass on good things, but if it is just some feudal dregs, some dirty and shameless traditional concepts, it is better to cut off the descendants as soon as possible, so as not to harm the future of the motherland."
Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, "So the important thing is not the person?"
"It's people, of course it's people. People are the carriers of those beautiful things. If we want them to be passed on for a long time, we still have to rely on people. But we have to distinguish the primary from the secondary. Gender is not the most important thing. Boys and girls are all people. As long as they are people, they can play this role, that's enough." Xue Li emphasized.
