Rou Niang
"Mo Bei, what brings you here? Perfect opportunity to introduce you to Xiu'er. From now on, she will be living with me," Li Rou Niang said generously.
Mo Bei nodded in acknowledgment, then pulled Li Rou Niang aside and said, "Zhao Dayou is back."
"What? Why is he back?"
Why did you come back so quickly after being so resolute in divorcing her?
The land's silver has been spent so quickly? That can't be right.
"I don't know the specifics, but everyone in the village saw him return to the Zhao family's old house. Do you want to go and see him?" Mo Bei asked.
“I have nothing to do with him anymore. Whether he comes back or lives or dies is none of my business,” Li Rouniang said, shaking her head.
"Dad!" Zhao Dani called out at that moment and ran over.
Zhao Dayou came over with some snacks: "Dani, Dad missed you so much. Come, come, this is some snacks Dad bought for you and Erni. Share them with your sister."
Zhao Dayou stuffed the pastries in his hand into Da Ni's hand. Da Ni was shocked to accept them. This was the first time Zhao Dayou had ever bought anything for the sisters!
"Why are you here?" Li Rouniang looked at Zhao Dayou warily.
Zhao Dayou, with a broad smile on his face, said, "Rou Niang, I've come to see the child, and you too."
“I don’t object to you coming to see the child. But we have no relationship, so you don’t need to come see me,” Li Rou Niang said coldly.
"Rou Niang, please don't say that. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. Let's live a good life together as a family, okay?" Zhao Dayou said sincerely.
Li Rouniang frowned: "Zhao Dayou has written our divorce agreement in black and white, and it's still in my room. What are you trying to do now?"
Zhao Dayou's smile faltered, but he glanced at Mo Bei, suppressed his anger, and said, "Rou Niang, no matter what you think, you will always be my wife in my heart. I know you're angry with me, but let's not talk about that now. I'll go back first, and we can talk slowly when you've calmed down."
Watching Zhao Dayou's departing figure, Li Rouniang frowned!
"Rou Niang, you two talk slowly." Xiu'er could tell that Mo Bei had something to say to Li Rou Niang, so she quickly coaxed the children back into the house.
"Rou Niang, what are you thinking?" Mo Bei asked.
"I'll just live my life the way it is. I'm finally divorced, how could I possibly go back to the way things were!" Li Rouniang's attitude was firm.
Mo Bei breathed a sigh of relief. He was also worried that Li Rouniang would soften her heart again: "Since you have a plan in mind, then I'm not worried anymore. I'll go first. Contact me anytime if you need anything."
"Rou Niang, have you ever thought about being with Zhao Dayou?" After dinner, the two sat in the courtyard, and Xiu'er asked.
"Will you get back together with Zhao Ergou?" Li Zhongrou asked rhetorically.
Xiuer understood; they had the same experience, and they would never go back to the same path.
When Zhao Dayou got home, he was so angry that he smashed the few cups he already had.
Just then, a woman's sobbing voice came from the doorway: "Big brother, you're finally back! Big brother, I've missed you so much! Waaah, waaah, waaah!"
It was Zhao Dahua. Knowing that Zhao Dayou had returned, she quickly found a moment to come over.
Zhao Dayou went over and opened the door. Zhao Dahua knelt down beside him and burst into tears, crying, "Big brother, your sister is suffering so much! Big brother, please save your sister!"
Zhao Dayou frowned, thinking about what Dahua and Eryou had done, and said, "Aren't you close to your second brother? You dared to team up with him to scheme against me, so why are you here crying now?"
"Big brother, I was wrong, big brother. I was misled by second brother. I was confused for a moment. Big brother, please forgive your sister." Zhao Dahua cried bitterly. She was really regretful.
The suffering he has endured these days is all due to the mistakes he made in decision-making at the time.
Zhao Dayou helped Zhao Dahua up: "You're married now, and you're coming to your parents' house crying and wailing. It's because Zhao Daniu bullied you. I'm going to go and beat him up right now."
"No, brother, you know Da Niu's situation. Even if you beat him up, I'll still have to suffer at the hands of that family of three when I get back. Can you find a way to get me a divorce?" Zhao Da Hua stated her purpose directly.
Zhao Dayou frowned. The last thing he wanted to hear was the word "divorce." He had made a hasty decision, and now he would have to put in a lot of effort to win Li Rou Niang back. That's why he hated the word "divorce."
How can there be divorce in this world? Wouldn't it be better if his wife remained his wife?
"Then here's the deal: you help me win Li Rou Niang back, and I'll find a way to get you a divorce." Zhao Dayou thought that he was outnumbered and outmatched, so getting someone to help him would be a good thing.
"Is what my brother said true?" Zhao Dahua saw a glimmer of hope.
“Of course it counts,” Zhao Da nodded.
"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely find a way to get Li Rouniang back together with you."
Zhao Da nodded and patted Da Hua on the shoulder, saying, "Okay, little sister, since you care so much about your big brother, I certainly won't treat you badly."
"By the way, big brother, why are you back from the mine? Is second brother still at the mine?" Zhao Dahua asked.
Da You frowned: "Why are you asking him? Do you want to join forces with him?"
"Of course not, brother. I want to settle accounts with him. When he gets back, I'll teach him a lesson. Okay, brother, I'll think of something. Wait for my good news."
Zhao Dayou watched Da Hua's departing figure and fell into deep thought: Er You is probably never going to come back in this lifetime.
Hua Ruyi closed the door, intending to go back upstairs to rest, when someone anxiously pounded on the door and called out, "Sister Ruyi, open the door quickly, it's me, Baihe!"
Hua was almost mistaken when she opened the door and was surprised to find that it really was Lily. She exclaimed, "Lily, what are you doing here? Come in quickly!"
Baihe entered Hua Ruyi's teahouse, took out two silver ingots from her bag and handed them to Hua Ruyi: "Sister Ruyi, this is for you. I'm leaving now. I'm afraid we sisters will never see each other again in this lifetime."
"What exactly happened to Lily?" Hua Ruyi asked anxiously.
"Sister Ruyi~" Baihe recounted her experiences over the past period.
It turns out that she was Bai Yuhe, the one Zhao Dayou loved so dearly!
That day, Li Rouniang, who was drunk during a lecture, confided her troubles to Hua Ruyi, wanting to repay a debt of gratitude.
She disguised herself as Bai Yuhe to meet Zhao Dayou in order to help Li Rouniang escape successfully.
Baihe was already heartbroken and thoroughly loathed Zhao Dayou. Her pregnancy was a lie, and the Taoist priest was just an act she paid someone to put on.
Later, she planned to take the money from Zhao Dayou's land sale and leave, to teach Zhao Dayou a lesson. Unexpectedly, Zhao Eryou developed lustful thoughts towards her.
As luck would have it, Zhao Dayou stumbled upon them, and the two brothers started fighting.
She escaped in the chaos.
But later she heard that Zhao Dayou was safe and sound, but Zhao Eryou had burned to death.
Zhao Dayou claimed to the outside world that Eryou had drunk too much and knocked over the candlestick, which caused him to burn to death.
She didn't have much evidence, but she knew Zhao Dayou was ruthless and she absolutely couldn't let him find out about her.
Before leaving, she wanted to say goodbye to Hua Ruyi, saying that from now on, they would meet again in the vast world.
