He Wanjiang was so angry that he started cursing.

Because she had been beaten, Ms. Lu also chimed in.

As a result, the He family was thrown into complete chaos.

"Alright—"

"I don't have time to watch you argue. Hurry up and sign, or your whole family can go argue in jail! You're such a pain in the ass!"

Yan Xia roared angrily.

His face was full of impatience.

She urged He Wanjiang to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible.

The He family members were startled by her loud voice.

They all fell silent.

"Go, go sign it first. We can talk about family matters later."

He Shanhu sighed.

He instructed He Wanjiang to sign the divorce agreement.

"Sign it then! I don't want to see you anyway. Just looking at you makes me want to vomit! You're like a block of wood all day long, never smiling or making a fuss, not even a single expression. I get annoyed just being around you for another day. You're not even a fraction as good as Liu Shi! It's better that you're gone. It saves the He family from having to feed and house you for free and support this good-for-nothing!"

He Wanjiang limped over to Yan Xia's side, snatched the divorce papers, signed his name and put his fingerprint on them, all the while cursing and slandering Feng Lanlan, as if only by engaging in a verbal battle could he vent his anger.

That's incredibly tasteless.

Yan Xia was too lazy to waste words with this kind of person.

The same goes for Feng Lanlan.

She just wanted to get away from the He family, this den of wolves, as soon as possible. Let them scold her, she'd been scolded more than once or twice.

After the divorce papers were signed, Yan Xia had Feng Lanlan sign them as well, and then gave them to her to keep. The divorce papers clearly stated that after the divorce, Feng Lanlan would only take her clothes and daughter, while her son and dowry would belong to the He family. From now on, the two would not be related to each other in their own marriages.

You also cannot interfere in the marriage of the other party's children!

Not only that, but he carefully wrote two whole pages, fearing that the He family might turn their backs on him.

As for household registration, Yan Xia thought that when she returned to Shuangqiao Town, she could ask Zuo Li for a favor and have the household registration of both her and her daughter transferred back together.

There's no need to bother the officials from Shuxian County with this matter.

"Let's go."

After doing everything.

Yan Xia told Feng Lanlan and Jiang Yu to pack their clothes and leave with her people.

When they reached the door, the carriage was still standing there.

Da Liang has already switched the position of the carriage's front.

After Yan Xia and her group boarded the carriage, it had just driven away from the He family's gate.

The officials arrived late.

The maid leading the way raised her chin arrogantly, seemingly imagining how the officials would teach Yan Xia and the others a lesson.

To make her feel better.

"Smack—"

But no sooner had they crossed the threshold than...

He was then slapped by He Shanhu.

"You brat, it's just a family quarrel, and you actually went to report it to the authorities! I think you have a death wish! Sir, the maid is young and doesn't know any better. Here's two taels of silver for a cup of tea. Please don't take it to heart. I'll definitely discipline her properly. It's just a family quarrel, nothing serious. She's misunderstood."

He Shanhu bowed and scraped to the two officials.

The official was about to get angry when he saw that the man had slipped him two taels of silver.

In the end, I held back.

However, his expression remained unpleasant.

"If this happens again, they'll all be given fifty strokes of the cane! Reporting to the authorities is no joke. Your maid needs to be taught a lesson. Let's go."

The official glared angrily at the maid and turned to leave.

Two ingots of silver, one tael for each person.

He Shanhu was heartbroken.

The family shop has hardly any business all day. We used to have meat in our meals every day, but now we can only eat meat dishes once every few days.

Two taels of silver is enough to cover the family's food expenses for many days.

In addition, her granddaughter was taken away.

The thirty taels of silver still had to be returned to the landlord.

He Shanhu had a splitting headache.

Looking at the maid in front of him, he became even angrier.

He twisted the maid's ear and ordered the gatekeeper to close the gate.

Less than fifteen minutes later.

The maid's agonizing cries reached the doorway.

The gatekeeper shuddered.

Cover your ears and pretend you can't hear.

By then, Yan Xia's carriage had already left Shuxian County.

However, Yan Hecheng in Shuangqiao Town encountered trouble.

Less than an hour after her daughter left home, Sun Xiangxiang stood at the gate of the Yan residence, banging on the door and begging him to come out. After the gatekeeper informed him, Yan Hecheng resolutely refused and told the gatekeeper to tell Sun Xiangxiang not to come again.

But Sun Xiangxiang was like a piece of chewing gum, stubbornly refusing to leave.

She waited by the door until late afternoon.

They knocked on the door countless times during that period.

The doorman was thoroughly annoyed.

When knocking on the door proved useless, he started shouting and making a scene.

Yan Hecheng knew things were going badly.

If Sun Xiangxiang continues to call her that...

Does he even care about his reputation anymore?

He's an old man; it's one thing for people to gossip about him behind his back, but he dares not let his daughter be implicated.

Yan Hecheng had no choice but to walk out the gate.

He met Sun Xiangxiang.

"What exactly do you want?" These were Yan Hecheng's first words after leaving the house.

His voice was extremely cold.

"Brother Yan, I just want to see you. I miss you so much that I can't eat or sleep at night. Brother Yan, what did I do wrong to make you reject me like this? Tell me, and I'll change. Please, don't look at me with such cold eyes. I'm scared."

Sun Xiangxiang's tears flowed freely.

She sobbed softly, her voice strained.

The Yan family residence was located in a bustling area.

People were coming and going at the entrance.

Many people were watching them.

Sun Xiangxiang's crying greatly annoyed Yan Hecheng.

"Stop crying. Passersby will think I'm bullying you. I came out to see you today to make things clear. Don't come to my house anymore. This isn't my house; it's my daughter's house. If you bother me again, my daughter might report you to the authorities. I won't help you then. If you end up in jail, you'll be finished when you get out. I don't want to make things difficult for you, so please don't bother me!"

Yan Hecheng believed he had made his point very clear.

But Sun Xiangxiang pretended to be stupid and kept crying.

"Brother Yan, please don't go. I promise you I won't bother you anymore. But could you let me treat you to a meal? You promised me that day when I delivered the fish. I know you hate me and find me annoying. If you have this meal with me, I promise I'll never come looking for you again, okay?"

Sun Xiangxiang tugged at Yan Hecheng's sleeve.

She looked so humble. If Yan Hecheng had seen Sun Xiangxiang like this for the first time, he would have felt sorry for her and thought she was pitiful.

But after being entangled with her, Yan Hecheng realized just how annoying she was.

I hesitated for a moment.

Yan Hecheng nodded.

"Okay, I'll eat, but I don't want you to pay. I'll pay. After this meal, please keep your promise and don't come looking for me again. From now on, we'll be strangers, okay?"

"Okay, I will keep my promise and never bother you again."

Sun Xiangxiang immediately agreed, afraid that Yan Hecheng would change his mind. She secretly curled the corners of her mouth, but put it down in just a second.

"Since that's the case, let's go now. It's almost dinner time anyway. After you eat, go home early. You're younger than me and not bad-looking either. There's no need for you to keep bothering me. You'll have plenty of time to find your Mr. Right in the future. It's just that the Mr. Right won't be me."
