No one expected Li Aimei to be so determined.

Xisheng's mother was confused, but she couldn't stop talking. Now that things had come to this, no one was willing to give in.

Sometimes people get divorced just because they are holding back. It is said that the second time will lead to bad luck and the third time will lead to exhaustion.

At this moment, Xisheng's mother and Li Aimei both insisted on getting a divorce, as if whoever gave in would lose. Xisheng had never had his own opinion, and at this time, nothing could help him except Jin'er's pleading.

The captain also wanted to persuade them, but he was an outsider after all, and he looked down on Xisheng and his mother. Although Li Aimei was a woman, she was good at her job. Xisheng had no other advantages except that he was savage. He pretended not to see that his wife was being wasted like this by her mother.

The morals of their village are being ruined by this old woman. Who would abuse their daughter-in-law like this?

He also felt that after the divorce, given Xisheng's mother's reputation in the surrounding area, it would be difficult for Xisheng to find a good wife again.

Maybe he will ask Li Aimei to get back together with him in the future.

Therefore Pei Shengcai also agreed. Jiang Xi waved his hand and asked Jiang Yu to bring a piece of paper and a pen to write a certificate for the captain.

These days, divorce is a certificate, in duplicate.

However, when I was writing this, an incident occurred. Xisheng's mother insisted that Li Aimei return the betrothal gift: "If you don't return the betrothal gift, we won't get divorced! Why do you want to leave after taking my betrothal gift?"

Li Aimei was angry for a moment, but she couldn't refute it. The betrothal gift had already been used up by her family. How could her family be good people if she had developed such a submissive character?

How can it come back?!

But after finally making up her mind to divorce, Li Aimei was actually excited at the thought of being able to leave such a family, so when she saw this situation, she became extremely anxious.

Jiang Xi said silently, "In that case, how about converting all the work points, laundry and cooking that Li Aimei has done for your family over the years into money, and then calculating how much she has eaten and spent, and how much is left, and then calculating whether it is enough for the betrothal gift, how do you think?"

Li Aimei didn't expect this to happen. She nodded gratefully and said, "Yes, I have worked like a slave in your family for so many years. Why don't you tell me the truth?"

Pei Shengcai's eyes lit up. He had always been biased towards Li Aimei. Seeing Jiang Xi's words, he agreed decisively: "That makes sense. Let's do the math. I remember that you have been married for eight years. During most of these eight years, Li Aimei earned eight work points. During the busy farming season, she could earn ten work points..."

Xishengniang: “!”

She was shocked: "How can this be calculated?"

Jiang Xi smiled: "Why not? Aren't you getting a divorce? You have to take back the betrothal gift, and of course you have to return what Li Aimei did in your house. Unless you do her laundry, cooking, and sweeping for her for eight years, she will be at a loss, right?!"

"You! You are talking nonsense!" Xisheng's mother stomped her feet in anxiety.

On what basis?

But the captain still calculated with great interest. He even found that the original betrothal gift was only 80 yuan. Even if the money she spent on food and daily necessities was deducted, Li Aimei's work points over the years were far more than 80.

Not to mention that she also has to do laundry, cook and chop wood on a daily basis.

These things cannot be converted into money in the short term, but if you hire someone to take care of this mother and son, I'm afraid no one would be willing to do it even for ten yuan a month.

"Don't forget it, don't forget it!" Xisheng's mother heard the result and rushed to stop it in a panic.

Li Aimei smiled, crying with tears streaming down her face.

In all her years of life, this was the first time someone had clearly accounted for her contributions, letting her know that she had not lived for free!

After eight years of marriage, Xisheng's mother had mentioned the eighty yuan dowry countless times.

They said she had spent 80 yuan from their family and that she should work for them for the rest of her life and not complain. She believed it.

After the results were settled, she realized that she didn't owe them anything! Her health had even deteriorated a lot. Instead, they owed her.

This marriage is a good one.

Xisheng's mother stopped him, and Pei Sheng looked at Li Aimei inquiringly. As the person involved, her opinion was the most important.

Li Aimei glanced at her mother-in-law and her honest husband, and nodded indifferently: "That's it."

She knew it was useless to continue calculating.

Neither the mother nor the son would pay this money.

As long as they can agree to divorce, it will be fine.

When pushed into a corner, they are unwilling to give in.

Sure enough, Xisheng's mother breathed a sigh of relief. When the captain continued to write the divorce certificate, she kept urging him, fearing that it would be too late. At Jiang Xi's instigation, Li Aimei thought of something again.

Divorce certificate, in triplicate.

The captain keeps one copy, and the other two parties each keep one copy.

It was such an easy divorce.

So fast it's a joke.

Then Xisheng's mother shouted anxiously: "Then get out of here quickly!"

Xisheng wanted to stop it, but was slapped by his mother. He became mute and followed his mother obediently, making a fuss.

Li Aimei's face turned slightly pale. She was really divorced. Feeling the thin divorce certificate, her heart was still heavy. She was a little impulsive this time, but she did not regret it. She just got divorced. When she heard Xisheng's mother say this, she really realized that she might become a homeless person.

At this moment, Jiang Xi, who had been watching silently, stepped forward and said, "Pack your things and come over here."

Li Aimei was stunned. What’s the matter?

But Jiang Xi didn't say anything.

She could only go and pack her things first, as she was afraid that if it was too late, her mother-in-law would throw the things out.

Everyone had left and the yard was empty.

"This is a poor child." Pei's mother sighed.

Jiang Xi nodded and said, "But she won't have a bad life."

Li Aimei is very strong and usually gets eight work points. Her ability is obvious. She can support herself completely. The only thing that matters is the public opinion around her. If she leaves Pei Xisheng and his mother, she will only live a better life.

Pei's mother didn't think so. She was a traditional woman. Divorce was no small matter. She believed that within half a day, the entire team would know about it. By then, everyone would come up to her and say a few words. Some scoundrels might even say some obscene words.

She herself found it very hard to bear.

But she also knew that times had changed. It was no longer the case that a woman would die if she left a man.

"I hope so." said Pei's mother.

I don’t know how Li Aimei will live the rest of her life.

Just as I was thinking about it, my daughter-in-law suddenly said, "Mom, I want her to live in that room, is that okay?"

Mother Pei was surprised: "You want to take her in?"

Jiang Xi pursed her lips and smiled: "Well, Li Aimei may have some talent in this line of work. Didn't she come to help me with work before? When she saw me drying herbs, she would help. Later, she would pick herbs and send them to me. I told her once that she remembered what they were called and what their effects were. I want to take her as my apprentice so that she will have her own means of making a living in the future."

Mother Pei was a little hesitant.

Jiang Xi pulled her sleeve and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm not a bad person. I won't be responsible for her food and drink from now on. She can handle it herself. At most, I can lend her a pot. You don't have to worry about it, and don't be soft-hearted. She will live well on her own."

Mother Pei was also afraid of trouble, but seeing Jiang Xi saying this and still acting coquettishly to her, she had nothing to be dissatisfied with. She smiled helplessly and said, "Do whatever you want."

But it's just a useless house, doing a good deed can also bring blessings to my son.

"Thank you, mom! You're so kind!" Jiang Xi jumped for joy.

There weren't many patients these days, so Jiang Xi went back to her room as she had nothing to do. Pei Hejun couldn't walk yet, so he lay on the bed reading a book. When he saw her come in, his eyes lit up slightly.

Jiang Xi thought something was wrong and immediately asked, "Do you need to go to the bathroom?"

Pei Hejun is now conscious. Except for the first two days when he couldn't control himself, he can hold it in at other times. He is not much different from a normal person. He just needs help when going to the toilet.

Jiang Xi couldn't handle it, and Pei Zhong was also a patient, so she could only ride her bike to find Pei Deyi every time, and he would ride over to take Pei Hejun to the toilet, and Jiang Xi would slowly walk back behind him.

Although it is inconvenient, it is better than before. At least Pei Deyi can solve the problem with money, but he cannot solve the problem of changing and washing dirty clothes, mattresses and the like with money.

The house suddenly became much cleaner, and Jiang Xi no longer had to secretly carry out fumigation.

The only downside is that she can't claim the mission reward openly!

Come to think of it, Jiang Xi now subconsciously thought that when Pei Hejun looked at him, he might have gone to the restroom.

But when she asked, the man half lying on the bed was silent for a second and shook his head: "No."

He looked down at his legs which were still soft and powerless with some sadness, and sadly discovered that these seemed to be the only traces of him in Jiang Xi's heart.

He just saw her come in, felt a little happy, and wanted to talk to her.

Jiang Xi was a straightforward person at times, so she didn't take it seriously. She squatted down and took out a box from under the bed. She rummaged through it and found a large piece of coarse cloth and a mat.

She took these and went out again and put them in the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was originally converted from a room of the Pei family. Although there were two doors, one inside and one outside, the space itself was still very large. There was a large medicine cabinet close to the wall in the room, and some sundries were placed there, leaving a lot of space. She put the mat on top, then covered it with a layer of worn cotton wool, and finally put some coarse cloth on it.

A simple bed is ready.

Jiang Xi was slow to act. When she was done, Pei's mother's voice could be heard in the yard: "Xiao Xi, Ai Mei is here."

"I know." Jiang Xi replied and hurried out. He saw Li Aimei, who was wrapped in a bundle and looked a little disheveled. They were divorced, and according to Xisheng's mother's temper, she would definitely do something when packing her luggage, so it was normal for her to look a little disheveled.

When she saw her, Li Aimei smiled shyly, with a look of anxiety and anticipation.

Jiang Xi also smiled and waved at her: "I have something to ask you."

Li Aimei was puzzled: "What's the matter?"

Jiang Xi said, "After the busy farming season, I will also be busy. My two younger sisters helped me before, but now they also have to go to school, so I want to ask you, do you want to be my assistant? When you learn how to treat a patient, the work points earned from treating one person will be given to you, and you don't have to work full time. You can go to work during the busy farming season and come over when you have a break."

Li Aimei was stunned: "You, you want me to help you?!"

Jiang Xi nodded naturally: "You are now registered in the Sixth Brigade. Now that the autumn harvest is over, if you really leave, you will suffer a loss. You can ask the brigade leader. He is now in power and has a lot of say. Stay here and live in this room." She pointed to the room that had just been cleaned up: "But let's make it clear first, I will only provide you with a place to live. You have to earn your own food. Of course, I can lend it to you now."

Li Aimei pursed her lips and said nothing.

She was not a fool and knew that Jiang Xi was helping her.

She had heard several times that people in the village hoped to send their children to Jiang Xi to help out, or to learn a skill, but since Jiang Xi insisted on having a girl, no one sent their children over.

Those who are willing to give up are waiting and watching, while those who are reluctant think that the girl will belong to someone else in the future and that it is an investment that cannot be redeemed. After all, to become a disciple, one not only has to pay a gift, but also has to send the child to someone else to help. At the age of twelve or thirteen, the child is already a little adult and can do a lot of work in the countryside.

Didn't expect that she got a good deal now?

"Don't you want to?" Jiang Xi pretended to be angry and crossed his arms: "I'm thinking about going to study in September, and I want someone to help me share the burden."

Li Aimei was about to answer when her throat became choked, as if a ball of cotton was stuck in it. She couldn't utter a word and could only nod vigorously. Her tears fell to the ground with such force that they wet the ground.

After a pause, she said, "I'm afraid you'll be in trouble, so here..."

"It's okay. I've told my parents. Besides, once the door is closed, it won't bother anyone." Jiang Xi smiled soothingly and let her in. "You can stay here for the time being. I'll go see if there are any wooden planks to make a bed in a couple of days."

"No, no, it's fine like this!" Li Aimei shook her head and looked at the large piece of unpatched, brand new coarse cloth on the ground. She picked it up with a distressed look on her face, folded it carefully and handed it to Jiang Xi: "I can't use this good thing, you keep it, I have a bed sheet here!"

As she spoke, she unwrapped herself and revealed a bed sheet.

But this bed sheet is very torn, with many patches on it, and the patches have many holes in them, but it is still a bed sheet.

She laid it out carefully, patted it, and put some clothes she brought with her on one end to use as a pillow. After doing all this, Li Aimei looked up at Jiang Xi with eyes that were startlingly bright: "Thank you, Doctor Jiang, for your kindness. I will serve you like a slave for the rest of my life!"

Jiang Xi waved his hands quickly: "No, no, this is not a big favor to me."

Li Aimei smiled and didn't take her words to heart.

No matter what happened to Jiang Xi, it was a huge favor to her.

Jiang Xi said: "Go and tell the captain first. You are a great worker. The captain will definitely let you stay."

Li Aimei nodded with tears in her eyes and went out from another door of the house, which was the door to the clinic. If she stayed here, she would disturb the Pei family no matter what, but she really had nowhere to go. What worried her most about the divorce was where to go.

If she goes back to her parents' home, she will most likely be married off, and things might be even worse then.

So she was reluctant to reject Jiang Xi's kindness.
