Ye Erniu exclaimed in anguish, "That's right!"
Wu Weiyi ignored him and said, "Uncle, please sit down. You must be thirsty after talking for so long. I'll go get you a cup of hot water."
Ye Erniu patted his shoulder and said, "That's great. I didn't even feel thirsty until you said so."
Wu Weiyi smiled politely and quickly ran to the side.
He rushed straight into his parents' room.
The same sounds of snoring rose and fell.
Wu Weiyi forcefully pushed his mother awake.
Granny Wu woke up first, rubbing her eyes, "Son, why aren't you asleep? What happened?"
Old Wu lay there, looking at him unhappily, and roared, "You're such a grown man, and you're still making such a fuss! You can't even sleep properly! I think you just need a beating again!"
Wu Weiyi quickly raised his finger slightly, "The second son of the Ye family is outside, Dad. Listen to me, you can't speak loudly."
From childhood to adulthood, Old Man Wu would beat him to death for no reason, and he was terrified of his father.
This was the first time he had ever dared to speak to his father like this, but he couldn't care less about that now.
Old Wu put on a stern face but didn't say anything more.
“The Ye family is splitting up now. Behind Cuihua’s back, the married daughters aren’t getting any share, but that aunt has been divorced and sent home. She and her daughter can get money based on the number of people, twenty taels each!” Wu Weiyi said quickly in a low voice.
Granny Wu's eyes widened. "Twenty taels?!"
Wu Weiyi rolled his eyes. "Twenty taels per person, that's forty taels for two people!"
Granny Wu quickly replied, "Oh, but son, what does this have to do with us?"
Wu Weiyi waved his hand, "I can't explain it to you, Dad. What do you think?"
Old Wu slowly spoke, "Cuihua, Hao'er, and Nannan, that's three people, so that's sixty taels!"
Wu Weiyi nodded excitedly, "Sixty taels! That's enough to build a new house for many years! We won't even need to farm anymore!"
Granny Wu opened her mouth as if to speak.
Old Wu glared at her. "You barren hen, don't get involved! Weiyi, do you think your wife and kids will give the money to the Wu family after they get it?"
Wu Weiyi frowned, paused, and said, "Cuihua came back today crying and saying she missed me. She can't live without me! When she came back, she told me that the Ye family has been talking about things behind her back lately, and their hearts are with the Wu family. The two children are my children, how could they not recognize me as their father?"
Old Wu pondered for a moment. If Ye Cuihua refused to pay later, the Wu family would cause trouble at the Ye family's house every day, making them never have a moment's peace!
What woman doesn't care about her reputation?
“Okay, this can be done, no problem! Hurry up, go tell Cuihua now that it’s all an act, tell her not to take it seriously, and comfort her.”
Wu Weiyi nodded and quickly walked towards his room.
Ye Erniu sat calmly in the courtyard, showing no impatience whatsoever.
Ye Cuihua's expression changed, and she put on her usual look.
He looked at Wu Weiyi as if he were looking at the sky.
Wu Weiyi felt a pang of pain in his heart. He couldn't help but despise himself for treating the woman who loved him so much like this just for money.
With money, many women will love you like that.
Indecisiveness, what kind of behavior is that!
"Ahem, Cuihua, I just got it out of Uncle that the Ye family is splitting up their property behind your back!"
Ye Cuihua quickly covered her mouth, "Divide the family? Grandpa and Grandma are still alive, how can we divide the family?!"
The corners of his lips couldn't help but turn upwards under his palm.
Wu Weiyi sighed, "It's all because of money that people have such bad hearts. They say that if my aunt brings peach blossoms, each person can get twenty taels!"
Ye Cuihua didn't speak, but looked at Wu Weiyi with a sad and pitiful expression in her eyes.
Wu Weiyi looked away from her and said, "How about we put on a show? We fake a divorce, and once you and Hao'er and Nannan have received the money, we'll write a marriage certificate. This is something only heaven and earth know, only you know, only I know, only the Ye family knows, and we'll never let anyone else know!"
Ye Cuihua lowered her head, trembling all over, her fingers digging tightly into her palms, her eyes blinking rapidly, and finally she squeezed out tears, "I...I don't want to leave my husband..."
Wu Weiyi sighed, stood up restlessly, and waved his hands, "Don't be silly, I know, I know all this, it's all about the money! Once you get the money, you can be with me again!"
He felt an unbearable pang of conscience.
Ye Cuihua sniffed and wiped away her tears. "I'll do whatever my husband says."
Wu Weiyi nodded. "Wait here, I'll go find a literate neighbor to write a divorce agreement so you can take it back to the Ye family."
Ye Cuihua nodded slightly, her head bowed the whole time, looking pained all over.
Wu Weiyi felt sorry for him and walked outside.
Once the person had disappeared, Ye Cuihua raised her hand to cover her face.
He smiled silently.
It's done!
After the laughter came a touch of sadness. They had been married for six years, and she had borne him a son and a daughter. Yet, for money, he could kick her aside without hesitation.
But this is for the best.
She also finally saw the true nature of this man.
When Wu Weiyi explained his purpose, his neighbor Uncle Li was shocked. "Everything was fine before, why are you getting a divorce?"
Wu Weiyi waved his hand, "It's fake, I was just trying to scare her, it doesn't count."
Uncle Li advised him, "Don't scare her like that! Cuihua is so capable, you'll only hurt her feelings by doing this."
Wu Weiyi looked impatient. "Hey, Uncle Li, I know what I'm doing. My dad agrees too. If you don't help me write it, I'll go find someone else."
When Uncle Li heard that Old Man Wu had agreed, he sighed and stopped trying to persuade him. "I'll write it for you!"
Wu Weiyi nodded in satisfaction, "The divorce agreement should also include a clause stating that Wu Hao and Wu Younan also belong to Ye Cuihua."
Uncle Li choked for a moment, and wanted to say something more, but seeing Wu Weiyi's face clearly showing that he didn't want to listen, he held back.
After the divorce papers were written, Wu Weiyi pressed his red handprint on them right in front of Uncle Li.
Uncle Li shook his head as he watched. Every step had been done perfectly; it didn't seem like he was trying to scare people.
What a terrible thing!
Wu Weiyi returned home excitedly with the divorce papers, but his smile froze when he met Ye Cuihua's red and swollen eyes from crying.
"Why are you crying? This is all for a better life in the future!"
He grabbed Ye Cuihua's hand and, ignoring her struggles, pressed it directly onto the divorce papers. "It's done! Take this and go back to the Ye family with your uncle. I'll come pick you up in a few days!"
Ye Cuihua took the divorce papers with trembling hands and walked step by step towards the outside.
Wu Weiyi felt uncomfortable watching this and didn't follow them out.
Ye Erniu walked over nervously as soon as he saw Ye Cuihua.
Ye Cuihua nodded. "Uncle, I want to go home."
Ye Erniu put his arm around his niece's shoulder and said, "Uncle will take you home."
Neither of them spoke until the oxcart drove away from the Wu family's house.
Ye Cuihua could no longer hold back and burst into tears.
Ye Erniu felt bad listening to this and kept comforting her, "Cuihua, what's past is past, and good days are ahead."
Ye Cuihua wiped away her tears, "Uncle, I'm just happy, I'm so happy I can't stop crying. I actually managed to get Hao'er and Nannan away from the Wu family!"
Thinking about what she had suffered over the past six years, and how the Wu family was a huge pit of fire, she was truly happy.
