For her daughter's sake, Aunt Ji even considered bringing her son-in-law back to the city. But Ya Qiu's mother-in-law disagreed. She said that once they were in the city, it would be the Ding family's domain, and they, mother and son, would be bullied to death.

Song Yan found it strange. Ding Yaqiu didn't seem stupid, so why did she choose such a family to marry into?

Aunt Ji was also feeling distressed, and without Song Yan asking, she started to ramble on and on.

Ding Yaqiu was one of the earlier girls to be sent to the countryside. A young girl all alone in a foreign land, with no prior farm experience, must have had a very difficult time. Sometimes she was even bullied by the locals.

At this moment, her mother-in-law stepped forward and protected Ding Yaqiu in every way. Her husband also helped her with chores, showing concern and care.

The girl was young and easy to please, so she agreed to date her man.

Ding Yaqiu knew that their family's reputation wasn't good back then, but she thought that a widowed mother raising her son wouldn't be able to make a living if she wasn't strong.

Their warmth made her squint.

Things were different after she got married. But life was still relatively easy. It was only after she gave birth to her daughter that her mother-in-law treated her worse and worse.

In the years that followed, she never conceived again. Her mother-in-law then encouraged her husband to beat her.

When Ding Yaqiu heard what her mother said, she couldn't stop her tears from flowing.

Di Minxia followed Song Yan out.

Di Minxia was so angry that her fists clenched so tightly they cracked. She couldn't help but interject, "Does he have many brothers? Does he have many relatives?"

Ding Yaqiu didn't know why this woman asked that question, but she still answered, "He was raised by his widow mother. He does have quite a few relatives, but they have a very bad relationship and don't really care about his family's affairs."

But the brigade leader is my husband's cousin. If my husband doesn't agree to a divorce, he can't issue the certificate.

Di Minxia said excitedly, "It's so easy to get a divorce like this! It's just one person meddling, not a whole group."

Tie that old woman up, and whatever you tell her son to do, he'll do it!

My family won't get involved in this. Your husband will get a certificate from the village committee, and then the divorce will be finalized!
