After giving birth to five sons, the Old Shen family in Lotus Village finally got their wish for a precious daughter!
What, a long drought with no rain? Little Dragon Liu waves her hand, and ...
When Shen Tiantian woke up early the next morning, the whole family was up, and breakfast was already prepared.
This made Shen Tiantian feel very guilty. She stood at the door with a blush on her face and repeatedly promised Tian Guifen that she would not oversleep again.
"Silly girl, you're at the age where you should be sleeping a lot. Sleeping a little longer will help you grow taller."
"That's right, Tiantian, once your household registration is changed today, you'll be a real member of our family. You can't think of yourself as an outsider anymore."
"Hey, Dalinzi, pull the basket of meat out of the well and take out a piece of pork. Let's stew some pork belly to celebrate Tiantian coming to our home!"
Tian Guifen started making arrangements with a smile.
Wu Tiao danced excitedly beside them, shouting, "Oh, oh, oh! There's something delicious to eat!"
"Liu Liu, I'm going to be part of your family now, are you happy?"
Shen Tiantian suddenly asked Shen Liuliu, who was squatting on the ground playing with ants, with some nervousness.
Shen Liuliu looked up in surprise, blinked, and said in a childish voice, "But you've always been vegetarian!"
Sweetie has always been her older sister.
"Yes, my daughter sees things very clearly! We've always been family, and nothing has changed!"
Shen Wanli was overjoyed to hear this and shouted with a smile.
Shen Tiantian's face was flushed, and she looked at Liu Liu with a glint in her eyes.
It's so nice to be my uncle's daughter.
"Come and eat!"
Tian Guifen got up early in the morning to make egg pancakes, stacking them high, each one smelling delicious.
On the table were a bowl of soybean paste, a bunch of scallions, and a bowl of leafy greens.
For breakfast, I had egg pancakes rolled with scallions and dipping sauce!
Everyone ate heartily, except for Shen Erming, who barely ate a few bites.
"Father, Mother, I'm back." Shen Yishan ran in, panting.
Shen Erming immediately stood up and asked with his eyes.
Is it true?
Chen Yishan, panting heavily, nodded helplessly to his younger brother.
It's true.
He got up early in the morning and made a special trip to town just to confirm whether the medicine was really poison!
"Big brother, second brother, what are you doing?" Wu Tiao took a bite of the pancake and found it very strange.
What's wrong with my eldest and second brothers?
You're looking at me, and I'm looking at you. Is something the matter?
But how come he didn't know?
"Kids shouldn't meddle in adult matters! Hey, have some water to clear your head, and then eat."
Tian Guifen swallowed hard to keep her voice from trembling.
We're all farmers, and we've had our share of arguments and even fights, but this is the first time I've ever experienced someone being poisoned and harmed.
Those in the family who knew the truth were both terrified and furious.
If Liu Liu hadn't been so lucky to hear the animals talk, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
After glancing around five times, the usually carefree and playful boy dared not utter a single word and immediately began to eat obediently.
The atmosphere was too somber.
He dared not say anything more, lest he become a target and get beaten up again.
After a depressing meal, Shen Erming immediately stood up and said, "I'm going to find the village chief."
This kind of thing couldn't possibly go unnoticed by the village chief.
Furthermore, having the village chief as a witness is just in case.
Tian Guifen took a deep breath, as if she were going to war, and said to Shen Yishan, "Let's go to your Aunt Fu's house to borrow paper and pen and write a letter of divorce."
Upon hearing this, Shen Liuliu's eyelids twitched.
No, the family has to send my younger brother and two older nephews to school.
There wasn't even paper and pen; it was so shabby.
After hearing Shen Wanli's words, the village chief's forehead veins throbbed, and his gaze towards the Shen family became less than friendly.
"I'm not saying this to be mean, but can't you guys have a little less trouble every day? Which of the bad things that have happened in the village recently has nothing to do with your family? Even if it's the other party's fault, Wanli, you should also think about why these things keep happening to your family and not other people's families."
Day after day.
If it weren't for the pork he was after, he really wouldn't want to get involved.
I can't help it if I accept a favor.
Shen Wanli pursed his lips tightly, his temples throbbing. He swallowed all his resentment and bitterness, bowing his head meekly to the village chief and apologizing while slipping him a purse.
“Village Chief, I know we’ve been troubling you a lot lately, but we had no choice. Look at how much trouble my second son’s wife is causing, making the house unbearable. It’s only natural that my husband wanted to divorce her, but we never imagined they would have such malicious intentions.”
The village chief squeezed his purse, his face instantly breaking into a smile: "It's understandable that your wife wants to divorce Erming's wife. As the village chief, I should intervene. Let's go."
good.
Chen Wanli was at least sensible, not letting his efforts go to waste.
——
Shen Wanli and his wife, along with the village chief and Shen Erming, went to Tanaka Kei's house.
Tanaka Kei was so worried about being divorced that he didn't sleep all night and didn't go to the fields this morning.
What worries him even more is that his wife and daughter actually have the leisure to go to town to buy things!
They're so carefree!
“My dear in-law, I know it’s our Xiang who’s been foolish and ignorant. But now that she’s finally pregnant, can you please be more lenient with her this once in a while? Village chief, it’s not exactly honorable for our village to have a divorce, is it?”
Upon seeing everyone, Tian Niangzi immediately began to cry.
First she cried to Tian Guifen, then she cried to Shen Erming, and finally she didn't forget to drag the village chief into it.
She simply didn't believe the village chief would want such a disgraceful incident to happen in the village.
What she didn't know was that the village chief had already accepted gifts from Shen Wanli's family, so naturally he wouldn't side with her.
The village chief stroked his beard and said with a sneer, "Mrs. Tian, if you had known this principle earlier and properly educated Tian Yexiang, how could things have turned out like this? Besides, it's your fault for not disciplining your daughter properly, what does that have to do with the village's reputation? If anything, it's your family's reputation that's affected!"
What, your daughter got divorced, and you want to ruin the reputation of the whole village too?
Even if they don't accept anything from the Shen family, the village chief won't side with Tian Niangzi.
"..." Madam Tian gritted her teeth, adopting a resigned look, and called to Tian Yexiang, "Ah Xiang, you've called your mother-in-law 'mother' for so many years. Even if your mother-in-law insists on divorcing you, you should still offer her a cup of tea as a way of saying goodbye between mother and daughter."
Okay, okay, Tian Guifen.
Since you are so ruthless, don't blame me for being merciless!
If you insist on divorcing my daughter, as her mother, I absolutely cannot stand by and watch her suffer such mistreatment!
Tian Yexiang swallowed nervously, as if her soul had left her body. Then, when Tian Niangzi called her name, she hurriedly went to pour tea.
Madam Tian quickly explained, "This child is heartbroken..."
"Brother Wanli, my daughter... could you please forgive her this time for the sake of the child? If there's a next time, you don't need to divorce her, I'll personally bring her back, okay?"
Tanaka Kei's hands were trembling slightly.
What will happen to my daughter if she gets divorced while pregnant?
Just thinking about it makes Kei Tanaka's heart ache terribly.
He only has one daughter.
Faced with Tanaka Kei's plea, Shen Wanli couldn't bring himself to scold him, but...
"Mother, drink, drink, have some tea."
"Clang, clang."
It was Tian Yexiang's hand trembling as she held the teacup that made the sound of the teacup and lid clinking together.
No one spoke, all eyes were focused on one spot, and the sound of clattering seemed to be amplified dozens of times, leaving only the sound of clattering in the entire room!
"Knock knock knock!"
Who else can hear their heart racing?
