Ye Erniu felt a pang of pain in his heart as he listened, "As long as you're happy, as long as you're happy."
Upon returning to the Ye family home, the Ye family members all gathered around nervously.
"How is it?" Liu asked anxiously.
Ye Cuihua took out the divorce agreement from her bosom. "He even put his fingerprint on it. I didn't even have to tell him. He did the whole thing."
Ye Panjiu took the divorce papers and looked at them carefully. "No problem. I'll send them to the Qingshui County government office this afternoon and have the magistrate send someone to the Wu family so that the neighbors know that you've divorced. If the Wu family doesn't let it go and makes trouble, they'll be in for a world of trouble."
Ye Cuihua burst out laughing, "I'll go up and slap him twice when the time comes, you dog of a man, hmph!"
Madam Liu breathed a sigh of relief and patted Ye Cuihua's head, "My daughter has really suffered."
She then looked at Ye Panjiu and said, "Thank you so much, little sister. It's all thanks to you."
Ye Cuihua, along with Wu Hao and Nannan, bowed to her, saying, "Thank you so much, Auntie, you saved our lives!"
"Thank you, Aunt!"
Ye Panjiu helped the three of them up, saying, "You're too kind. We're family, it's only right that we help each other out."
Wu Hao and Nannan each hugged one of her legs, saying, "We love Auntie so much!"
Ye Panjiu smiled and patted their heads.
Children aren't ignorant; they know they have nothing to do with their father anymore and won't see him again, and they smile so happily.
This shows how badly this father behaved.
Children should never be the punching bag for adults.
Ye Panjiu rode a fast horse to the county government office, explained the whole story to Chu Guan, and showed him the divorce papers.
Chu Guan immediately dispatched two armed guards to the Wu family.
The Wu family was still immersed in the dream of having sixty taels of silver in the future.
"Sixty taels isn't enough for this one-courtyard house. We'll expand it into a two-courtyard house. We'll pave it all with blue bricks, just like the Ye family's!" Wu Weiyi read aloud.
Old Wu smiled broadly, "That's right, let's build it like that, and then buy more land for the rest. We'll hire long-term workers every year, and we won't have to work in the fields anymore."
Granny Wu beamed, "Shall we buy some meat today and celebrate in advance?"
Old Wu waved his hand and said, "Buy! Buy more, we'll have money later anyway."
Granny Wu smiled and agreed, then turned to leave.
A stern and loud voice came from outside the door.
"Wu family members, come out!"
The guard drew his sword from its sheath.
When Granny Wu saw the knife, she was startled and hurriedly went out the door and knelt down.
Old Wu and Wu Weiyi also hurriedly came out and knelt down.
Wu Weiyi cried out in terror, "Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"
Hearing such a commotion, and fearing the knife, Wu's neighbors all peered over the wall.
The guard flicked his sword. "The magistrate has read the divorce papers you wrote. Wu Weiyi and Ye Cuihua are divorced, and Wu Hao and Wu Younan will be raised by Ye Cuihua in the Ye family! Is this true?"
Uncle Li's eyes widened in disbelief. This was exactly what he had written, word for word.
Wu Weiyi nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes!"
The guard casually brandished his knife. "Now that you're divorced, don't you dare cause trouble at the Ye family again. If you're found out, you'll be severely punished! Remember that!"
Wu Weiyi nodded repeatedly, "I've got it, I've got it."
The guard deftly sheathed his sword, mounted his horse, and rode away.
The Wu family members collapsed to the ground, their bodies soaked in sweat.
These two guards are terrifying; they exude a chilling aura of killing intent!
"What exactly happened? Was Weiyi just trying to scare Cuihua?" Uncle Li pushed open the door and helped Old Man Wu up.
Old Wu was stunned, and it took him a while to realize what had happened. "We've been tricked by the Ye family!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Weiyi stood up and roared, "Impossible! Cuihua cried so much her eyes were swollen when she found out about this!"
Granny Wu wailed, "My grandson! My grandson is gone!"
Old Wu sighed deeply, his face turning ashen.
"That's hilarious! Who could force him to write a divorce agreement? He even lied to them. Shameless!"
"Cuihua is such a good girl, hardworking and capable. It's good that she's gotten rid of the Wu family!"
"Those three lazybones from the Wu family deserve it! They're such snobbish bastards!"
Apart from Ye Cuihua, who had a good relationship with the neighbors, the other three members of the Wu family had offended the neighbors to varying degrees.
Right now, everyone is pointing and talking.
Wu Weiyi was so angry that he kicked the corner of the wall, and yelled, "Ah!"
Feeling ashamed, Old Wu pulled the person into his house.
As soon as he entered the house, he slapped Granny Wu across the face and then picked up a cup from the table and smashed it to pieces.
Granny Wu covered her face and silently shed tears.
Wu Weiyi shuddered and whispered, "Dad..."
Old Wu slapped him across the face again, "You beast! It was all your bad idea! This isn't over!"
Wu Weiyi kept his head down and remained silent.
Ye Panjiu didn't care how chaotic things were at the Wu family's place.
She was writing a reply to Su Yan.
For some reason, I felt a little nervous about meeting in Shuzhou.
The letter was easy to write. Nothing major has happened recently, so I just have a small suggestion for a win-win situation.
Returning the gift was a bit difficult. Ye Panjiu thought about it for a long time but couldn't think of anything, so she simply didn't give a return gift.
If I come across anything interesting next time, I'll keep it as a return gift.
Yan Yu received the letter, looking like she had something to say, but didn't say anything.
Ye Panjiu didn't mind, "Go ahead, see you at the New Year."
Yan Yu bowed and said, "Okay."
Then he turned and left.
The next day, Jiujiu Lu (a type of braised food) resumed business as usual.
But Ye Cuihua's smile seemed welded on, exceptionally radiant.
Lady Liu felt comforted by this.
"Oh my, so this shop belongs to your Ye family!"
A somewhat familiar voice rang out.
Sun frowned and looked carefully, but couldn't remember who it was. She turned to look at Liu.
Liu shook her head as well.
"Oh! It's me! Granny Li! When I was sold in high school, I was the one who ran all the way to your house to tell you!" Granny Li stamped her feet anxiously.
Upon hearing the familiar name "High School," Mrs. Sun nodded. "Oh, it's you! Please come in and have a seat. What would you like to eat today?"
Granny Li was delighted. "One bowl of meat and one bowl of vegetables, please. I'd like to talk to Pan Jiu."
Ye Cuihua smiled and replied, "I'll go call my aunt right away."
He then quickly walked towards the backyard.
When people are happy, they are in high spirits, and Ye Cuihua walked much lighter.
Ye Panjiu followed Ye Cuihua out, and her heart skipped a beat when she saw Granny Li.
But she was very enthusiastic, saying, "Grandma Li, it's been a long time."
Granny Li sized her up. She had never seen Ye Panjiu's white cloak before, and the hand warmer she held was adorned with exquisitely crafted rubies. Her entire being was incredibly valuable; even a small part of it could cover her family's expenses for a year.
"Look at you, head manager! I didn't even recognize you when you came out!"
Ye Panjiu smiled and said, "Grandma Li is joking. We've treated you to today's meal. Try it and see if you like it."
Granny Li's smile widened even more. "Now you not only have such a good temperament, but your little mouth is so sweet! Granny, here you go, the things that have happened in the Du family lately are quite interesting!"
