Chapter 122 Divorce Procedures
He knew he was getting old and his physical strength wasn't what it used to be, but he didn't care.
As long as we can make the Shen family stand tall and let those who bully them know that the Shen family is not to be trifled with!
Zhou Yangyu was slapped so hard that her ears rang and her vision blurred, and she fell to the ground.
Yang Juanhua was dragged a few steps by her hair, and the pain was excruciating.
Lu Jianguo's nose was bleeding profusely, and he curled up in a corner, clutching his head.
She only stopped when Shen Cuifen was so exhausted that she could no longer lift her hands.
She took a deep breath, her voice hoarse.
"That's enough... don't kill anyone."
She wasn't being soft-hearted; rather, she knew that ending things here was the best outcome.
If we continue fighting, we'll only hurt ourselves.
Seeing this, the others also stopped.
Although they stopped, their eyes remained fierce as they stared intently at the group of people on the ground.
Looking at Zhou Yangyu again, her hair was a mess like a bird's nest, and her face was swollen and shiny.
She covered her head with her hands, huddled against the wall, trembling.
The frail demeanor from before was completely gone; she was terrified of being hit again.
She finally understood that the Shen family was not to be trifled with, nor were they pushovers who could be bullied at will.
Yang Juanhua isn't in much better shape; she already had a lot of hair, and now it looks even thinner.
As soon as Song Qiaoying let go, she immediately collapsed to the ground, slapping her thigh.
"Oh my god! Someone help me! All my hair is gone! Waaaaah..."
But no one paid any attention to her, and the courtyard was silent.
With a look of disgust, Song Qiaoying pinched the tuft of hair she had just plucked and flung it far away into the weeds in the corner.
She glared at Yang Juanhua and shouted sharply.
"Shut up! If you howl again, I'll pluck out every last hair on your head! Let's see if you still dare to pretend here!"
Yang Juanhua trembled with fright, and her mouth immediately fell shut.
"Shen Cuifen! You guys are too ruthless! I'm going to get a divorce right now! Who's afraid of who!"
Lu Jianguo stood to the side, his face ashen.
This farce has become known throughout the village; it's utterly shameful.
"The sooner the better, so you don't have to be beaten every day and suffer this humiliation."
Shen Cuifen gave him a cold, sidelong glance.
"Let's go now, don't dawdle and waste everyone's time."
The drama this family put on was more and more spectacular than the last.
It was just like the opera troupe that the village would hire during festivals.
Each actor gave a powerful performance, their voices trembling with emotion.
It's so annoying.
Lu Jianguo snorted coldly and his gaze fell on Zhou Yangyu.
He gently tidied a few stray strands of hair that had been blown into her forehead by the wind.
"Yang Yu, you stay home and keep my mom company for now."
He kept his voice very low.
"After I finish the divorce proceedings, we can sit down and talk about the future. You... wait for me."
Zhou Yangyu bit her lower lip, her eyes slightly red.
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
Lu Jianguo nodded, enduring the discomfort in his lower body, and slowly stood up.
When Shen Xuelin beat him up just now, he only slapped him a few times.
But he always felt a tingling and painful sensation in his lower abdomen, which was inexplicable.
He wondered to himself: Could it be that he was injured by Lu Zhonghe last night?
He really wanted to sneak back into the house, take off his pants, and check himself properly.
But the Shen family members were all watching him intently, leaving him no chance to be alone.
He could only grit his teeth and bear it, suppressing the pain in his heart.
"Never mind... let's talk about it after the divorce."
He silently comforted himself.
“If I suddenly say I need to get checked now, won’t Shen Cuifen laugh at me on the spot? She’ll definitely think I’m reluctant to leave her and am deliberately making excuses to delay the divorce.”
He took a deep breath and followed the Shen family members toward the door.
A large group of people headed straight for the village entrance.
It just so happens that today is market day in town, and there are already many people carrying loads on their shoulders and pushing carts out of the village.
This is the route from the Lu family's doorstep to the village entrance.
It was only half a mile, but it felt like walking through a long corridor of shame.
Hearing the commotion, the people living on both sides of the village road turned their eyes to the group.
After they left, groups of villagers immediately gathered together.
The topics were nothing more than "Lu Jianguo's divorce", "Shen family's rise to power", and "Zhou Yangyu's rise to power".
Lu Jianguo lowered his head and quickened his pace.
But nothing can outpace the rumors and gossip.
The more he walked, the hotter his cheeks felt, as if they were about to burn.
It's just a divorce, isn't it?
He thought angrily to himself.
Why did Shen Cuifen make such a big fuss over such an ordinary family matter?
Why must they drag his whole family along and humiliate him mercilessly in front of the entire village?
Is it because they're afraid the whole village won't know, or what?
There were horse-drawn carriages in the village that went to the town, but the Shen family was too lazy to wait for Lu Jianguo to walk, so they simply got on the carriage.
Lu Jianguo lagged behind, and no one turned around to look at him.
He touched his empty pockets.
He clenched his fists silently, a bitter feeling rising in his heart.
He was convinced that Shen Cuifen had done it on purpose.
Knowing he had no money, they insisted on taking the bus. Wasn't that humiliating him in public?
Let him be left standing there like a clown?
Shen Cuifen saw through his lack of money at a glance and didn't even bother to hide it.
"Lu Jianguo, I'm in a good mood today, come on up! I'll pay for the ride!"
She couldn't wait to get the divorce certificate and sever all ties with Lu Jianguo.
"Who cares about your two coins!"
Lu Jianguo stiffened his neck, looking completely unconcerned.
He felt that Shen Cuifen was just pretending to be kind and generous.
Shen Cuifen rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the town ahead, but her heart was already in turmoil.
It's finally coming to an end, this marriage that has tormented her for half her life.
Upon seeing this situation, Shen Yongcai felt a surge of anger.
He has always been protective of his own, especially his younger sister.
Seeing Lu Jianguo still standing there pretending to be something, he immediately flew into a rage.
He jumped off the carriage with a clean and decisive motion.
He strode towards Lu Jianguo.
"What...what do you want to do! There are so many people here, you don't mean to start a fight, do you?!"
Lu Jianguo panicked immediately.
He clearly didn't mention Shen Cuifen or say anything bad about anyone, so why is this guy targeting him?
Shen Yongcai sneered.
He reached out and grabbed Lu Jianguo, lifting him up like he was a chick.
Lu Jianguo didn't even have the right to struggle in front of him.
"Ouch! Ouch! Put me down! What are you doing! This is broad daylight, is there no law?!"
Lu Jianguo kicked his legs wildly, his face turning red.
The villagers by the roadside covered their mouths and laughed, while some muttered to themselves.
"Serves him right! He should have been taught a lesson a long time ago!"
Immediately afterwards, Shen Yongcai threw Lu Jianguo onto the carriage like a sack of potatoes.
With a thud, Lu Jianguo fell into the carriage.
Shen Yongcai clapped his hands, his tone as cold as ice.
"Stop talking nonsense and get the divorce papers done quickly, so I don't get annoyed by looking at you!"
Lu Jianguo patted his old cotton-padded coat, shivering.
He glanced at the group of people standing around outside the car, suppressing their laughter as they watched the spectacle.
I felt a burning sensation on my face, and even the roots of my ears turned purplish-red.
However, he also understood that in this situation, arguing back would only make things more embarrassing for him.
He quickly lowered his head and obediently shut his mouth.
