Chapter 7: Division

The sky was getting darker and darker, and dark clouds were pressing down on the world like a tidal wave. The strong wind twisted the rain into finger-thick rain ropes, viciously whipping this dirty world.

Seeing that the rain was too heavy, the bearded man woke everyone up early in the morning and ordered them to rest for a day.

The post station had been in disrepair for many years, and rain poured down through the holes in the roof, landing right where Xie Mubai was lying.

Seeing this, Shen Wan looked at Xie Murong and said, “Move inside. It’s wet here and you can’t sleep.”

Xie Murong slept at the head of the kang. She didn't like to squeeze with others, so she took up space for about two people.

"But I don't have any room here." She said unhappily with a sullen face, "Why don't you and Fifth Brother switch places?"

She was a lady from a prominent family, and it was already a great privilege for her to sleep on the same kang with them. But this ugly woman actually wanted her to squeeze in even more!

Besides, it was this ugly girl who went through so much trouble to marry him, so she deserves to suffer now.

When Shen Wan heard this, she immediately became furious.

I originally wanted to be patient a little longer, but now with their attitude, I have to separate!

She did not get angry, but just moved Xie Mubai to her seat and fed him some water with "seasoning".

Seeing that the ugly woman did not resist, the Xie family was in a good mood.

They gathered together, talking and laughing, and even ate an extra pancake.

They seemed to have forgotten that the body of the Duke of Zhenguo was still warm and that they were still on the road to exile.

"Xie Mubai, what's wrong with you?"

Shen Wan brewed her emotions for a moment and let out a terrified scream.

The Xie family turned around in shock, only to see Xie Mubai pale and unconscious, with bright red blood flowing down his legs like a stream.

"What are you still standing here for? Hurry up and call the doctor!" Shen Wan looked anxious and yelled at Aunt Zhou and others.

When Aunt Zhou heard this, she immediately shook her head like a rattle: "Where would I have money? You know, all the money I had was taken away by that forbidden woman!"

After hearing this, Zhao and others also shook their heads randomly.

As for Xie Murong, she couldn't count on him at all.

"Third sister-in-law, I know you have money!" Shen Wan grabbed her sleeve and urged anxiously, "Go find the official quickly and ask him to find a doctor. If it's any later, I'm afraid Xie Mubai's life will be in danger!"

"If he spends all the money, what are we going to do?" Sun pushed her away and said angrily, "Besides, we are not family, why should I pay for it?"

From childhood to adulthood, she had never gained any advantage over this ugly woman.

Now that this ugly girl is in trouble, she is happier than anyone else. How could she possibly help?

Shen Wan was not surprised by this answer.

She subconsciously glanced at Xie Mubai and asked, "Why aren't we a family? Aren't you the daughter-in-law of the Xie family?"

"Don't forget, we haven't split up yet. Your money belongs to the Xie family!"

"Your sickly son is a bottomless pit right now. Do you want him to drag us down to death?" Sun curled her red lips and retorted, "So what if we haven't divided the family yet? Then we'll divide it now!"

Ever since Xie Mubai's legs were broken, she wanted to get rid of this annoying burden.

Now that the opportunity is at her doorstep, how could she give it up so easily!

Looking at Sun's cold-blooded appearance, Shen Wan couldn't help but get angry: "Sun, do you still have a conscience?"

"The Duke's body is still warm, and you're in such a hurry to divide the family?"

"Hasn't everything you've eaten and used all these years been from the Duke's wife? Now you're refusing to pay for it?"

She didn't lie.

Although the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion looks grand, it is actually just an empty shell.

The Duke was an honest man, and the dog emperor was withholding military pay, so he had no choice but to pay for it out of his own pocket.

Fortunately, the Duke's wife had a generous dowry, otherwise the more than one hundred people in the mansion would have starved to death.

Sun put her hands on her hips and cursed loudly, "You are the one without conscience."

"We are already pitiful enough, and you still insist on dragging us down to be buried with that cripple!"

Shen Wan was really annoyed.

She felt her blood boiling, and two flames of anger suddenly rose in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Who are you calling a dead cripple?"

"Whoever has a broken leg is the one!" Sun said with disdain.

Shen Wan rushed forward and slapped her viciously.

Sun was stunned by the sudden slap and felt a burning pain on the right side of her cheek.

"You...you dare to hit me?" She covered her face, looking shocked.

Shen Wan pointed at her nose and scolded her, "So what if I hit her?"

"Listen up to me! If you dare to curse Xie Mubai again, I'll beat you to death!"

Sun was furious.

Her eyes were blazing with fire, and she rushed towards Shen Wan like a madman.

Unfortunately, she was no match for Shen Wan. Even though Aunt Zhou and others tried their best to stop the fight, she was still beaten black and blue.

"We have to divide the family!" Sun sat on the ground with disheveled hair, roaring hysterically, "If we don't divide it, I'm going to kill myself by banging my head against the wall right here!"

Aunt Zhou was so frightened when she heard this that she quickly said softly, "Good child, don't be angry!"

"Points, points for sure!"

Now, Sun is a big hit in front of Aunt Zhou. After all, she still has to rely on her to fill her stomach for the time being.

She quickly asked Zhao to borrow pen and ink, and she and Shen Wan formally signed the separation agreement.

Xie Mubai lay on the cold kang and heard everything clearly. He felt as if his heart was wrapped in ice and falling straight into an endless abyss.

Over the years, he thought he had been kind to Aunt Zhou and several widowed sisters-in-law.

Whatever they wanted, he would satisfy them without hesitation.

But I never expected that they could be so cruel as to watch someone die without helping!

Forget it, let’s just break up.

In this way, the Xie family no longer owes them anything.

In fact, there is nothing to divide in this family. It is impossible for Sun to take out the money he earned from selling pearls.

Of course, Chen Wan didn't even look at the money that was stained with feces.

After signing the division agreement, Aunt Zhou and others didn't want to live here anymore. They bribed the officials and moved to a house that didn't leak.

After the effect of the drug wore off, Xie Mubai slowly opened his eyes, and there was no trace of sadness in his dark eyes.

"We're the same now." He curled his lips and said self-deprecatingly, "No one wants us anymore."

The calmer he was, the more Shen Wan's heart ached.

"Who said that?" She forced a smile. "We still have to support each other along the way."

"Don't forget, you promised me that you would protect me for the rest of my life."

Xie Mubai smiled sadly, a faint smile spreading across his beautiful face: "Now I can't even protect myself, do you think I can still protect you?"

"As long as you are willing to protect it, it's fine." Shen Wan reached out to his pants, ready to clean the wound, "As for those irrelevant people, just don't take it to heart.

As for the blood that just flowed, it was just the red potion in her space.

Xie Mubai was a man with a strong sense of self-esteem, but now he was repeatedly having his pants taken off by this ugly woman, which made him extremely uncomfortable: "I'd better do it myself."

"What are you afraid of? It's not the first time I take it off!" Shen Wan took off his pants swiftly and cleaned his wound carefully. "You don't have to think too much. I'm a doctor now. A doctor only has patients in his eyes, regardless of gender!"

Having said that, Xie Mubai's face still turned red.

He couldn't understand why this ugly woman didn't feel shy at all when seeing a man's body?

Could it be that, as the rumors say, her private life is chaotic and she is no longer a virgin?
