"The Lin family said they don't approve of this marriage. They'll divorce me in July and then marry me."
Wan Laosan was also shameless enough that whenever he saw someone attractive, his eyes would linger on Lin Qiyue.
“Yes, we are her elders and we don’t approve of her marriage. If it weren’t for the divorce, I would have taken it to the authorities. This is clearly a marriage fraud.”
In their minds, arranged marriages by parents and matchmakers are the most appropriate.
They felt that since Lin Qiyue was a member of the Lin family, anything they disagreed with was unreasonable.
"How ignorant and foolish!" Li Xia couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
Lin Qiyue couldn't bear to listen any longer and was about to speak when Lan Yuchu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she could barely contain her anger!
With so many people eyeing his wife, he can't afford to relax for even a moment.
"Lan Yuchu and Lin Qiyue are a legally married couple, recognized by law. How can you bring up a married woman to discuss marriage? Aren't you knowingly breaking the law?"
It seems the Lin family truly has no idea what foolish things they're doing.
“We don’t care. I’m her grandmother. Marriage must be approved by us.”
Old Mrs. Lin wouldn't listen to anything; all she cared about was money.
In her eyes, women were merely tools for her to gain profit, and all her granddaughters were used to earn dowries.
Lin Qiyue is also her granddaughter, so she must follow her own procedures.
"That's right. Since the Lin family has accepted money from the Wan family, Lin Qiyue is my wife. She has to come with me today. If she doesn't come with me, I'll stay here and not leave."
I found a place and sat down.
Lin Qiyue could tell that Lan Yuchu was angry, so she took Lan Yuchu's hand and stepped forward.
"You want me to get a divorce? Fine!"
"July?" He was shocked that his wife would say such a thing.
The two people from the Lin family and the Wan family revealed smug expressions.
"Then let me do the math!" Lin Qiyue stepped past Wan Laosan and walked up to his wife. "Six years ago, you wanted to sell me. My mother-in-law wanted to take me away and gave your Lin family two hundred yuan. For the past six years, I've been attending high school at the Lan family's house. The tuition was fifty yuan per semester, so that's three hundred yuan for six semesters. If we calculate the living expenses for six years at thirty yuan per month, that's two thousand one hundred and sixty yuan for six years, plus the usual fabric and other miscellaneous expenses. If you return two thousand seven hundred yuan to the Lan family, I'll agree to a divorce. How about it?"
When Old Lady Lin heard this number, she couldn't even come up with fifty, let alone more than two thousand. It was an astronomical figure.
"so much!"
Wan Laosan was shocked; the Lan family had spent so much money on her.
Lan Yuchu finally understood why Lin Qiyue had said those things earlier.
He also stepped forward, his expression serious, and said, "Back then, it was only two hundred yuan. The Lin family already said that July's life or death had nothing to do with your Lin family. Our Lan family has provided for her food and clothing for so many years and spent money to send her to school. If you want us to get a divorce and restore July's relationship with the Lin family, it's two thousand seven hundred yuan, not a penny less."
Those watching the play dared not utter a sound upon hearing this number.
At this moment, the village chief and the village secretary arrived. Li Shuan learned that the Lin family had come looking for him again, so he quickly went to fetch the life-saving supplies.
"The village chief and the village secretary have arrived."
When the village chief and the village secretary arrived, everyone was silent for a moment.
When Old Lady Lin saw the village secretary, she instantly cowered.
The village chief rushed over and pointed at Old Lady Lin, asking, "Lin family, what exactly do you want?"
They explained everything that happened six years ago clearly. Li Shuan had also told him about it on the way here. The Lin family had come looking for him several times today.
They demanded money, forcing her to divorce and marry this Wan Laosan.
Although no one wanted to mess with Wan Laosan because they knew his relatives had connections in the county, Lan Yuchu was different. He was a soldier, a member of the People's Liberation Army who protected the country.
The Lan family is different; they are even less willing to offend them.
Old Mrs. Lin retorted indignantly, "I am her grandmother. She didn't get our consent for her marriage, so it's normal for me not to agree to it."
"I disagree! July grew up in the Lan family, and you've already taken the money. How can you disagree? Do you still think this is the old society, where you can just say you disagree and then you don't agree?"
He can't be a village chief for even a day; he doesn't even understand how to abide by the law.
Every day they cause all sorts of messy trouble.
"You've lived your whole life, and you're about to step into your coffin. Have some decency! How can you face your son in the underworld if you treat your granddaughter like this!" The village chief was so angry that he started hitting the ground with his cane.
Old Mrs. Lin was left speechless after being confronted.
Seeing that everyone had quieted down, Lin Qiyue had no intention of letting the Lin family off the hook; she was going to make things clear today.
“Grandpa Village Chief, Village Secretary, you are here too. I told them today that I am already married, but their family still accepted money from Wan Laosan, which means they came here on purpose to cause trouble. Their purpose is to destroy my marriage with my husband. I will pursue this matter to the end and will not let anyone get away with it.”
Lan Yuchu also stepped forward and looked at Li Shuan, saying, "Brother Li, go to the brigade and make a call to ask the police to come over."
Li Shuan and the others hadn't reacted yet.
The village secretary and the village chief also looked at Lan Yuchu with curiosity.
“I am a soldier, and my marriage with Qiyue is protected by law. The Lin family knew that Qiyue was already married to me, yet they still secretly collected dowries from others under the guise of marrying Qiyue, and instigated others to destroy our marriage. This is knowingly breaking the law. Wan Laosan knew that Qiyue was already married, yet he still listened to others' instigation and deliberately destroyed our marriage. This is also knowingly breaking the law. I, Lan Yuchu, will never let anyone like this get away with it.”
