Chapter 6: Marriages and Relationships Should Not Interfere with Each Other (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
Xu Qingmo instructed, "Now apologize to me... to her."
She found it really hard to say the word "Mom." Xu Qingmo couldn't even force herself to call her that, so she simply pointed at Wang Jing.
Wang Xiuzhi dusted herself off, strode towards the village chief, and cried and begged him to intervene on her behalf.
"Village chief, you have to do something about Xu Qingmo! I'm her grandmother after all, and she dared to disrespect me like that, hitting me in front of so many people! If you don't help me, I'll just die right now. Anyway, there's nothing to be attached to in this world!" Wang Xiuzhi cried and made a scene.
The village chief was caught in a dilemma. If Shen Jiang wasn't there, he would definitely side with Wang Xiuzhi.
However, with Shenjiang standing like a god beside him, he couldn't show any favoritism.
Xu Qingmo reminded her, "Since you want to die so badly, there's a river at the village entrance where you can drown, and there are willow trees by the river where you can easily hang yourself with a rope. If you're not satisfied with either of these ways of dying, you can tie your hands and feet and throw you into the cowshed to starve to death."
If we can anger Wang Xiuzhi to death, there will be one less bad person targeting her and her daughter in the world.
Wang Xiuzhi slapped her thigh and made a fuss, "Oh dear, why is my life so bitter? I lost my husband at such a young age and raised three children by myself. I finally saw them get married and have children. I thought I could enjoy my old age, but I never expected that my eldest daughter-in-law would give birth to a monster. She cursed me, her grandmother, to die at such a young age."
Xu Qingmo dragged the broom, which was taller than her, toward Wang Xiuzhi and coldly asked, "Who are you calling a monster?"
Wang Xiuzhi was so intimidated by her domineering demeanor that she forgot to cry and make a scene.
Wang Jing pulled Xu Qingmo into her arms and snapped at Wang Xiuzhi, "Momo isn't a monster. You were the one who threw us, mother and daughter, into the cowshed, trying to starve us to death. We were just giving you a taste of your own medicine, and you can't even handle that?"
Wang Xiuzhi panicked. On one side was the village chief, and on the other was Chen Jiang. Wang Jing directly exposed their family's actions.
If the village chief investigates, it will definitely be detrimental to their family.
“Stop talking nonsense. Our family has been so good to you, how could we possibly throw you into the cowshed?” Wang Xiuzhi denied it.
Last night, when the mother and daughter were thrown over there, it was already late at night, and everyone around was asleep, so no one noticed.
As long as she denies it, the village chief will definitely not find out.
Shen Jiang stepped forward and said, “I can testify to this. I saw the Xu family throw Wang Jing and her daughter into the cowshed.”
Last night, Shen Jiang went out for a smoke to relax and saw a man sneaking towards the cowshed.
His soldier's keen senses told him that something was amiss. He stubbed out his cigarette and followed the man to investigate. He chased him all the way to the cowshed and found the man staring menacingly in the direction of the cowshed.
After the Xu family left, the other party tried to go over and commit some evil deeds, but Shen Jiang grabbed his shoulder and dragged him to a pile of hay nearby.
After he dealt with the other party, he turned around and found that Wang Jing was gone.
When he went to look for her, he overheard people talking about how Wang Jing's daughter was dying and how the barefoot doctors were in a difficult position. That's when he went to the barefoot doctors' house.
Wang Xiuzhi jumped up and down in a panic, "Don't talk nonsense! I know you and Wang Jing are close, you definitely want to stand up for her."
Shen Jiang looked around and spotted a panicked person trying to escape. He rushed forward, grabbed the person's arm, and pinned him behind his back.
The man let out a wail and was pushed into the courtyard by Shenjiang.
This man was a bachelor in the village, lazy and good-for-nothing, and his family was poor, so they had no money to get him a wife.
He had been eyeing Wang Jing for a long time, but she rarely left the courtyard, so he had to suppress his wicked intentions.
Unexpectedly, last night, out of boredom, he wandered around Xu Yuanlong's house again, trying to eavesdrop, and overheard them saying that they were going to throw Wang Jing and Xu Qingmo out.
Er Gou's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he stayed hidden in the shadows, waiting for the Xu family to come out.
Unexpectedly, the mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, be gentle." Er Gou was still injured; he had fallen twice last night and was in a lot of pain.
He heard today that the Xu family is going to divorce Wang Jing, and despite his pain, he came again, hoping to wait for Wang Jing to get divorced so that his family could find a matchmaker to introduce him to Wang Jing.
"Did you also see the Xu family throw Wang Jing and her daughter into the cowshed last night?" Shen Jiang questioned.
He was imposing and upright, making him impossible to ignore.
Er Gou was already feeling guilty, and when Shen Jiang asked him that question, he blurted out everything.
“That’s right, the Xu family did throw Wang Jing and her daughter into the cowshed, trying to seize all her assets. I thought Wang Jing was beautiful, and I wanted to take her home, raise her, and make her my woman…”
"Get out!" Shen Jiang shouted, and Er Gou immediately shut his mouth and ran away, not daring to stay and join in the fun.
Wang Jing took a deep breath and looked at the village chief. "Village chief, you heard it too. There's not a single decent person in the Xu family. Xu Yuanlong and I didn't get a marriage certificate. I hope you can issue us a judgment to prove that I've completely severed ties with him and that's the end of it all."
"I disagree!" Xu Yuanlong shouted after holding back for a long time, "You think it's okay just because you say it's okay? You are my wife, and Xu Qingmo is my daughter. If you really want to cut ties with me, you can leave, and the child can stay."
Xu Yuanlong knew that Wang Jing loved Xu Qingmo the most, and as long as the child stayed, she would definitely not think of leaving him.
"Momo can't stay with you. She's my daughter. No one in your family truly loves her. I have to take her with me." Wang Jing was anxious; Xu Qingmo was her life.
She was able to take this step bravely because Xu Qingmo gave her the courage.
Xu Qingmo looked at Xu Yuanlong and asked in return, "If I stay here, will you agree to let her go?"
Xu Yuanlong was taken aback, not expecting Xu Qingmo to not cry or make a fuss, but to start negotiating with him directly.
Words spoken are like water spilled; even if Xu Yuanlong regretted it in his heart, he had to be defiant in front of so many people in the village.
He nodded. "That's right. As long as you stay, I'm willing to completely sever ties with Wang Jing."
Xu Qingmo nodded in agreement on behalf of Wang Jing, "Okay, I'll stay. Village Chief, could you please help me... write a judgment to prove that she has severed all ties with this person?"
Wang Jing refused to accept it, saying, "No, I have to take you away. This family is a monster. If you stay here, you'll definitely be bullied."
Xu Qingmo made Wang Jing bend down, and whispered a few words in her ear.
Wang Jing was still unwilling, but Xu Qingmo reassured her that since the Xu family wanted to keep her, she would make them regret their decision.
Wang Jing considered it for a while before Xu Qingmo persuaded her to agree.
The village chief took out paper and pen and quickly wrote a letter. Wang Jing signed her name at the end, while Xu Yuanlong pressed his fingerprint on the paper.
With the village chief as witness, the 'marriage' between Wang Jing and Xu Yuanlong has broken down, and from now on, men and women will not interfere with each other's marriages.
