“Su Degui, the five thousand taels you spent back then were for my mother, not for me.”
How can this be attributed to me?
"What are you saying? If redeeming your freedom isn't on your head, then who is it on?"
Fifty taels is impossible. If you insist on forcing five thousand taels on me, then I'll give you ten more taels now, as a way of saying we were once husband and wife.
"Don't even think about it. I won't divorce you without fifty taels of silver. Go ahead and make a scene if you want."
Anyway, I'm not afraid once I get to the northern desert. You don't have my official documents, so...
“Su Degui…”
You treacherous villain, I take back what I just said. We'll settle for ten taels of silver, I won't give you a single extra copper coin.
Didn't you want fifty taels?
Let's have the officials judge this matter.
"Sir..."
You've seen it all; do you think I can still live with such a despicable person?
"If I continue living with him in this ambiguous way, I won't even know when I'll die."
Sir, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. She was originally an actress and is very good at acting.
"My lord, I was forced to come from the Red Chamber. If I had any other choice, who would want to stay in that place that devours people without spitting out their bones?"
It must be said that Su Degui's concubine really hit Yang Yi's sweet spot.
He had a choice back then, how could he have chosen to be a beggar for so many years?
Thinking of his own plight, he felt sympathy for the concubine.
Yang Yi then stood up and said to the two of them, "I am aware of your matter."
Yang Yi was about to ask for the concubine's name, but he didn't know it.
So he asked his concubine, "What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is Li Yuehong."
Um……
“Since you originally agreed on ten taels, then let’s go with ten taels.”
Yang Yi pointed at Su Degui.
"You're not a man. You divorced your concubine and still demanded ten taels of silver from her."
To be honest, you're really worthless.
"Sir, I spent five thousand taels back then..."
Back then, you were a flamboyant young nobleman; now you're just a prisoner.
"But it can't be only ten taels, can it?"
You can take the ten taels if you want, or it's fine if you don't. She can take the silver back, and I won't mind giving you a good whipping.
"Sir, this is utterly unreasonable."
What kind of logic is this? The truth is here, just like Lao Tzu's.
Yang Yi didn't want to listen to Su Degui's incessant chatter in front of him.
So he said to his men, "Write three divorce papers for them."
Once you reach the destination, take one of the divorce papers to the local government office for registration.
"Yes, boss..."
Before long, the three divorce papers were written, and Yang Yi had the two women sign and stamp them.
Li Yuehong happily signed the document and stamped it with her fingerprint.
Su Degui, however, did not move.
Yang Yi saw that Su Degui was still there in a stalemate.
So he said to Su Degui, "Sign or not?..."
Su Degui said hesitantly to Yang Yi, "Sir, ten taels is too little. It's not even enough to buy a few steamed buns or mantou."
Yang Yi already looked down on Su Degui, and now he was even less willing to listen to Su Degui's rambling.
So he took off the barbed whip from his waist and lashed it at Su Degui.
ah……
"Hmph, trying to bargain with me? Who do you think you are?"
Let me ask you one more time, "Sign or not?"
With that lash, a long, thin welt immediately appeared on Su Degui's fair and tender skin.
A trickle of blood seeped from the willow branch.
If you look closely, you can see small pits under the bloodstains.
That was flesh and blood torn off by the barbed whip.
Having tasted the pain of the barbed whip, Su Degui endured it and said to Yang Yi, "Sir, I'll sign it now."
"What a shameless person! I can't even talk to you properly."
You won't listen unless I use the whip.
