Hearing Zheng Xianren ask this, people's attention once again focused on Liu Shulin.
Liu Shulin coughed lightly and said, "Although this contract is invalid, the money has already been paid and there is no way to get it back."
Zheng Xianren was surprised and asked in confusion, "Why is this?"
Liu Shulin sighed, "The officials at the county yamen said that although this contract is invalid, we can choose to fulfill it or not. Therefore, the county yamen will consider the money we gave us voluntarily. Therefore, it is impossible to recover it, and it is also untenable in law."
Zheng Xianren showed a regretful expression, "That's such a pity."
That’s sixty taels of silver!
In a place like this, this amount of money would not be a small sum for anyone!
In fact, it was not a full year since Cai Junze and Lu Qingyan divorced, but ten months.
In these ten months, the Cai family gave Lu Qingyan a total of fifty taels of silver!
Thinking about it carefully, Liu Shulin also felt an indescribable pain...
Wupo Village.
Niu family.
Niu Li came back from outside with an angry look on her face.
Lu Qingyan poured her a glass of water, handed it to her, and asked, "Mother-in-law, how is it going?"
Niu Li took the water cup, took a sip, and then said gloomily, "That bastard Cai Liu is really hard to deal with! I went to her bun shop and made a scene, but there was no result. It really pissed me off!"
Lu Qingyan blinked twice with an expectant look on her face. "It seems we still have to start with that loser Cai Junze. Cai Liu is such a tough nut to crack."
Niu Li looked at Lu Qingyan with resentment in her eyes and asked, "What are you going to do?"
Lu Qingyan glanced sideways at her son who was playing with rocks and said, "If they don't give me the money, then forget about seeing Yang'er again! I want to see how long they can endure not letting them see Yang'er!"
Before this, they allowed the Cai family to visit Yang'er once or twice a month.
If a checkpoint is set up here, how will the Cai family mother and son react?
Thinking of this, Lu Qingyan felt a little more expectant!
Changhe Village.
Cai family.
When Liu Shulin returned from town, she saw her useless son still lazily lying on the bed. She felt a little angry and could not help but scold him:
"Lie down, lie down!"
"Just lie down!"
"Just stay in bed all the time from now on and don't get up again!"
Hearing his mother's scolding, Cai Junze quickly jumped up, got out of bed, and explained: "Mom, you beat me ten times last night and made me kneel all night. My body hasn't recovered yet. What else can I do if I don't lie in bed?"
As he said this, he put on an aggrieved look, trying to gain some sympathy.
Unexpectedly, Liu Shulin said sternly, "Last time, Da Zhuang from the village was beaten with more than 20 sticks by his father, but he still went to work in the fields as usual the next day. You only got beaten with 10 sticks and knelt for half a night, and you can't stand it?"
Cai Junze curled his lips and said, "Da Zhuang is so strong, how can I compare with him?"
After a pause, he continued, "Besides, I have nothing to do if I get up. What else can I do if I don't lie down?"
Liu Shulin glared at him fiercely, pointed at the ground, and said, "You have nothing to do, right? The floor in the house and the ground in the yard haven't been swept today. Go and sweep them for me!"
Under the pressure of his mother's authority, Cai Junze didn't dare to say a word. He could only leave the room, pick up the broom and start sweeping the floor. His movements were lazy and perfunctory, which made Liu Shulin really want to whip him hard with a whip!
However, considering that this was his first time sweeping the floor, Liu Shulin endured it.
Seeing his mother go to the kitchen to cook, Cai Junze rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, look, I've already swept the floor, which can be considered as doing some work for the family. Can you cook my share for dinner?"
Liu Shulin ignored him.
When it was time for dinner, Cai Junze saw that his mother had indeed cooked extra food. He immediately went over to serve her some food in a flattering manner, and then he also served himself a bowl. With a smile on his face, he said, "Mom, you really still care about your son! Last night, it was you who took me back to my room and tucked me in, right?"
Liu Shulin picked up the dishes with chopsticks and ate her meal with a silent expression.
Not getting a response, Cai Junze felt bored and just sat down to eat in silence.
the next day.
Early in the morning.
Cai Junze actually got up early, which was rare for him, and cleaned the yard.
Seeing this, Liu Shulin frowned and said, "We just swept the yard yesterday evening. What are you sweeping now?"
Cai Junze was just looking for trouble, wanting to show off in front of his mother. He said, "Yesterday is yesterday, and today is today. I'm sweeping now, and I'm sweeping today."
Liu Shulin was too lazy to care about him and just followed him.
However, when making breakfast, she still called him to her side and asked him to watch and see how she did it. It was obvious that she wanted him to learn from her.
Cai Junze was watching carefully from the side. Liu Shulin said, "Once you learn how to cook, this task will be left to you."
Cai Junze frowned, but didn't dare to say anything.
After breakfast, Liu Shulin gave him a new task: "From now on, wash your clothes yourself!"
Cai Junze looked at the clothes he changed last night, his eyes twitched, and he said, "Mom, I, I don't know how to wash."
Liu Shulin pointed outside the courtyard and said in a cold voice, "If you don't know how to wash, go learn! There are people washing clothes in the river outside every day. Just take your clothes over there and watch how they wash them. Then wash them the same way. What's so difficult about it?"
