"Yes, what she said is true." Liu Shulin answered without hesitation.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked!
Everyone was surprised that there was such a strange thing in the world!
It is not easy for a woman to divorce her husband's family without any problems. As a result, the daughter-in-law of the Niu family not only divorced her husband's family smoothly, but was also able to take the child away with her!
That’s not all. In addition, she can also take away five taels of silver from her husband’s family every month, which is also eye-opening!
After hearing this, the onlookers were all deeply shocked and felt like their eyeballs were about to fall out of their sockets!
Divorce! Child! Five taels of silver!
How did the Cai family agree to all this to the Niu family's daughter-in-law?
If it were an ordinary person, I’m afraid no one would be able to agree, right?
This is a matter of "losing sovereignty and humiliating the country"!
The Cai family actually agreed?
A series of surprised eyes focused on Liu Shulin.
Although this was a family scandal, Liu Shulin was extremely calm about it.
What else can I do if I am not frank?
"Ms. Cai Liu, how could your family agree to such a thing?" someone asked.
"We were confused. We just wanted to resolve the matter quickly and agreed without thinking too much," Liu Shulin said slowly.
Before Liu Shulin could continue, Niu Li spoke up, "See? She admitted it herself! In other words, what I said is true!"
"Since she admitted it happened and there's a contract, then they should abide by the contract and give our family the money we deserve!"
"But this month, they're cheating and don't want to pay!"
"Everyone, come and judge who is right and who is wrong in this matter!"
The onlookers looked at each other, seemingly not knowing how to answer.
They often come to Yuanshan Baozi Shop to buy buns. They know Cai Liu and have a good relationship with her. In terms of their stance, they naturally tend to stand on Cai Liu's side.
But, if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what Niu Li said?
Once you sign a contract, it is only natural to act in accordance with the contract!
The Cai family did not fulfill the contract, so it seems... they are really not in the right?
In this case, would it be wrong for them to speak up for Cai Liu?
But, having said that, the contract that Niu Li asked the Cai family to fulfill... after hearing the content of the contract, people still felt somewhat uncomfortable!
This contract is clearly meant to trick the Cai family and make them the scapegoats!
According to people's general perception, the husband's family is very merciful if they can let the woman divorce. As a result, the woman left and not only took the child with her, but also asked for five taels of silver from her husband's family every month. Isn't this... too much?
Seeing that no one said anything, Niu Li's expression suddenly turned sour. She glared at everyone, "Are you all speechless? Isn't it clear who is right and who is wrong in this matter?"
At this time, Zheng Xianren walked over and stared at Niu Li with a cold gaze. "Niu Li, you have the contract in your hands. Logically speaking, what you said is indeed right. But, isn't the content of the contract too bullying?"
Niu Li glanced at Zheng Xianren, and thinking about the incident the day before yesterday, she was very angry. "So what if they are bullying? Who asked them to sign? They could have refused to sign at that time! Since they signed, they should fulfill the agreement. Isn't this a normal thing to do?"
Zheng Xianren was about to say something when Liu Shulin spoke up, "Niu Li, you yourself admit that the contents of this contract are bullying. If that's the case, do you think this contract is still valid?"
Niu Li turned around and frowned, remembering her daughter-in-law saying that the county government didn't recognize the contract. She then said, "I don't care! Anyway, you signed the contract, so you should pay according to the contract!"
Liu Shulin smiled and said, "If the contract is legal, we should pay you according to the contract. But if the contract is illegal, why should we pay you?"
As he spoke, he looked at everyone and said, "Everyone agrees, right?"
Most of the people present were ignorant of the law. They looked at each other, all a little unsure of what Cai Liu said.
"Ms. Cai Liu, is what you said true?" asked a bystander.
"Of course it's true," Liu Shulin said calmly. "I went to the county government office to consult about this matter. The officials there told me that this kind of contract is a predatory contract with obvious bullying characteristics. It's not recognized by the laws of Daxu, so it's invalid."
After a pause, he continued, "Precisely because I know it is invalid, I have decided to respect the laws of Daxu and no longer fulfill this contract."
"Otherwise, wouldn't that mean I'm defying the laws of Daxu?"
Having said that, she glanced at Niu Li with a smile on her face.
Zheng Xianren's eyes lit up, and he took over the conversation, saying, "That's right. If this contract is not in compliance with Daxu's laws, then it's naturally fine for Cai Liushi to stop fulfilling it!"
Everyone nodded.
Someone said, "That's true. If the contract is legal, then no matter what the content is, it should be followed once signed. But, since it's illegal... then why should we follow it?"
"Besides, the contract signed between the Cai family and the Niu family's daughter-in-law is inherently unfair! I'm furious just by listening to the content!"
"Even if the Cai family needs to provide financial support for the child, it's impossible for them to give five taels every month, right?"
Five taels, what does that mean?
Isn't this tantamount to blackmail!
In fact, the "flaw" of this contract lies in the five taels of silver!
If the amount becomes less than one or two taels, the contract will still be valid!
Five taels, too big!
