Chapter 094 Chapter 94 New Year

Mother Liu left her husband behind and took a few quick steps to catch the eldest daughter who was thrown over. She glared at Aunt Wang San and said in a shocking voice: "My daughter is a good daughter. Everyone praises her for being sensible and capable. Not only has she suffered so much for marrying into your family for so many years, but you still treat her like this. You are a family of worthless people!"

Auntie Wang San explained awkwardly: "My dear, it's not what you think. We are all doing this for the good of Jianhua and the baby in her belly. We really don't mean to be a traitor!"

Liu Jianhua's sister Liu Jianyun rushed over and said "Pah!" "Pah! My sister is such a good-tempered person. If she hadn't been really bullied, how could she have wanted a divorce! I just heard you, an old woman, say that if my sister got divorced, I wouldn't be able to find a good family. I'm telling you, if it's really like what you said, then I won't get married! For the sake of my reputation, if I let my sister continue to suffer, then am I still a human being? Besides, when others see my sister being tortured in your family and still swallowing her anger, they think that our family is easy to bully. Even if I get married, my in-laws won't take me seriously!"

Lin Yue listened to the little girl's eloquent rebuttal and was very impressed. She looked outside the crowd and saw Wang Xiuxiang standing at the outermost circle, also covered in dust, blinking at her.

Auntie Wang San was really anxious at this time. Her family had a bad reputation after the incident with Zhang Xiaohui. If her eldest son divorced, it would not only be difficult for him to remarry in the future, but her younger son would also have trouble finding a wife. She had originally taken this into consideration, so she suppressed her temper and tried to persuade the man to stop, but who could have thought that someone from the Liu family would come so quickly!

What she disliked most was Liu Jianhua's sharp-tongued sister. She suppressed her temper and said, "Little girl, don't think you are really being nice to your sister. If she really gets divorced, she will not only be raising a child by herself, but also be unable to find a new partner. She will definitely regret it then!"

Liu Jianhua retorted loudly: "I won't regret it!" She cried so hard that her whole body was shaking.

Lin Yue said softly to Liu Jianhua, "Don't listen to her threats. After the divorce, your work points will be enough to support you and your child. It will just be a little difficult in the first few years. We will help you."

Wang Xiuxiang sneaked over at some point and whispered, imitating Lin Yue's manner: "Xiao Yue'er is right! Anyone who looks down on you is blind! Even if we don't get married in the future, we can live a good life on our own! I'll help you take care of the child after it's born, and I'll be his godmother!"

Listening to the whispers between the three people, Liu's mother was happy for the young lady and patted her on the back. Liu Jianhua's eldest brother couldn't help but say to Aunt Wang San: "Don't worry about it. The divorce is going to be finalized today. Whether my sister lives well after the divorce or not has nothing to do with your family in the future!"

The three siblings said in unison: "That's right, it has nothing to do with people like you!"

Auntie Wang was so angry that she fell backwards. Just as she was about to say something, her incompetent son jumped out and said angrily, "Divorce me if you want. Don't take yourself too seriously. Do you think I really don't dare to divorce you? I'm divorcing you now, don't regret it later and come back to beg me!"

Auntie Wang was so anxious that she wanted to find a stick to beat this idiot to death! Who knew that her husband suddenly spoke up: "Okay, it's already like this, why are you still arguing with his family! Since they are so insistent, I think we should just get divorced!"

Even Zhang Xuecheng put his hands behind his back and said in a neutral tone, "Mom, why are you reluctant to let her go? She is destined to never have a son in her lifetime anyway. Just get a divorce and find a good one for my eldest brother. Then we can have two children in three years. It's better than what we have now!"

This was a vicious remark. It would be fine if Liu Jianhua gave birth to a son. If he really gave birth to a daughter, people would inevitably talk about him behind his back, doubting whether what he heard today was true or not. It would not be so easy for Liu Jianhua to remarry in the future. Several people in the Liu family were so angry that their faces turned red. They clenched their fists and wanted to have a big fight with this villain.

Mother Liu comforted the children and said loudly, "I have never heard of any deity so powerful that they have predicted the genders of the next few children before this child was born. Which deity did you listen to to predict your fortune? Tell me so that I can see it! Humph, let alone the two of them haven't divorced yet, even if they are divorced, I have never seen a brother-in-law ruin the reputation of his former sister-in-law. No wonder my good daughter can't stay in your house! Fortunately, you are getting divorced, otherwise I don't know what kind of life my child will live in your house!"

Old man Liu said impatiently: "Hurry up and get the divorce certificate first. After this is done, there are other things waiting to be done!"

Auntie Wang was extremely anxious. Could it be that the father and his two sons really didn't understand the situation? If the two of them really divorced today, who would be willing to marry these two brothers in the future?

But her old man had already spoken, so she couldn't interfere. Seeing that the two families had settled the matter, Su Ximei asked Lin Yue for a pen and paper, and wrote the divorce certificate on the spot. She just had to wait for the brigade to stamp it. Auntie Wang was so angry when she saw this. She hated her daughter-in-law for making a fuss, hated the father and son for not living up to expectations, and also hated Su Ximei for meddling in other people's business and rushing to write the divorce certificate.

The Liu family was in a hurry, and Aunt Su was not vague. She simply asked them to wait for a while and went to the brigade headquarters to get the stamp herself.

Liu's parents greeted everyone in Xiaotian Village politely, and chatted with Lin Yue and Wang Xiuxiang in particular. They behaved politely and seemed to get along well with them until Aunt Su came back with the certificate.

When they finally got the divorce certificate, the whole family looked relieved and hugged Liu Jianhua to comfort him. Old Liu waved his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, my daughter has been taken care of by you all in the past few years. I would like to thank you all here. If you need any help in the future, just come to me and I will do my best! I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. I will repay gratitude and I will not hold grudges. But don't worry, this is a grudge between our two families and has nothing to do with the two villages. Please understand that it is not easy for me as a father!"

After saying that, he waved his big hand, and his three strong sons rushed into the crowd impatiently, grabbed the two brothers Zhang Shouxin and Zhang Shoucheng, and beat them up.

Zhang Zhiye wanted to step forward to stop them, but was stopped by Old Man Liu, who punched him in the eye. The people around him screamed, but Old Man Liu had made it clear before that this was a grudge between the two families, so no one could step forward to stop it.

The north wind was blowing, and the snowflakes had been falling for several days before they stopped for a while. The sound of firecrackers was heard one after another, and the snow was covered with red and pink confetti, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

Lin Yue's house has an altar on the front door, with various offerings on it and bamboo hanging on the wall. Today is the first day of the Chinese New Year, and young people come to visit from time to time, kowtow to their ancestors at the front door, and then go inside to pay New Year's greetings.

Little Wanli hid behind the door and leaned forward to look at it. When he saw the young man playing tricks, he laughed and said loudly, "Mom, he's stamping his feet, pretending to kowtow!" The young man was not annoyed when he was exposed. He said with a playful smile, "You don't understand. I didn't kowtow on my face, but I kowtowed in my heart. It was so loud that my ancestors heard it a long time ago!"

Someone teased Xiao Wanli, "You followed your father to kowtow this morning. Did you cry?"

Little Wanli shook his head and said, "No, my dad told me to wait until I grow up before knocking on the door!"

This morning, Zhang Yuandong took little Wanli to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors. This is the custom nowadays, and Lin Yue thought that he would definitely let Wanli kowtow with the younger generation, but he didn't expect that he just kowtowed once and brought Wanli back.

Lin Yue was puzzled. If Wanli was not allowed to kowtow, why did he bring him along? Zhang Yuandong only said, "Just consider it as an experience." If women were not allowed to participate in today's event, he would have wanted to bring Xiao Lingling along as well.

The visitor just asked that question casually. As for whether Wanli kowtowed or not, he was just a child and no one cared.

Before they could say a few words, Zhang Yuandong came back from outside. He held Xiao Lingling on his neck, rubbed the mud and snow under his feet at the door, and ducked into the house. Xiao Wanli was also anxious when he saw this, and shouted loudly: "Dad, Dad, Wanli sit up high!"

Since Zhang Yuandong came back, little Wanli has become lively and outgoing. He used to be as calm as an old cadre, but now it seems that it is because he lacks his father's company.

Zhang Yuandong chatted with several young people who came to pay New Year's greetings and asked casually, "Have you finished paying New Year's greetings?" Several young people said happily, "We have finished paying New Year's greetings a long time ago. Aren't we just waiting for you to play poker together?"

Zhang Yuandong smiled and said, "Not today. These two children are lucky. They have been accepted as students by Principal Xu from Donglinjia Village. We are going to pay New Year's greetings to Principal Xu today." His tone was full of boasting.

In fact, this matter had already spread throughout the village, but a group of people still gave the two children some respect and praised them, satisfying Zhang Yuandong's desire to show off.

Seeing that everyone was leaving, Lin Yue hurriedly brought over some peanut candies from the table and stuffed a handful of them into each person's pocket. A group of young people were laughing and said no, but they honestly opened their pockets to make it easier for Lin Yue to put the candies in.

By the time the family of four arrived at Donglinjia Village, it was almost noon. Although it was very cold today, there were many people on the street because it was the New Year. Everyone looked very happy and greeted Lin Yue and his group happily. Lin Yue greeted them one by one, thinking about going to Xu's father's house as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by a group of aunts.

After the group of people finished praising Lin Yue for the child, they looked Zhang Yuandong up and down for several times, and talked to Lin Yue about this and that for a long time, and only let her go when she saw that she was impatient. Lin Yue walked a long way away, and still heard them talking loudly behind him: "She was so pitiful when she was a maid! She was so thin and dark, look at her now!"

"That's right, it turns out that little Meimei is so promising! She is better than her sister in every way, but now it's all in vain!"

Lin Yue shook his head and stopped listening. He and Zhang Yuandong, holding a child in each hand, hurried to Xu's father's house.
