Although the concept of divorce exists in this era, virtually no divorces are actually successful.
In all cases of marital breakdown, the woman was divorced.
Being divorced would be a disgrace to the whole family.
This matter should be addressed sooner rather than later.
Song Ning approached Zhou Ling'an and asked him to help write a divorce agreement.
Zhou Ling'an was dumbfounded. He had written many things since he started school, but he had never seen a book about divorce before.
"It doesn't need to be too complicated. Just write down the three words 'divorce agreement.' You know what divorce means, right? Just write the meaning clearly."
Under Song Ning's coercion, Zhou Ling'an reluctantly wrote a letter of divorce.
When they got home, the Liu family came knocking on their door.
Liu Hong is still in jail for his two sons, so Old Man Liu brought his whole family to his door.
But Song Ning was not one to suffer a loss, and he had already called the men in the neighborhood to his house to make a scene.
The old lady of the Liu family stayed inside the house and did not come out. Liu Yuelan and Song Dahai stood in front, with ten strong men behind them.
When Gao Tiedan heard that Song Ning needed help, he asked the county magistrate for leave and rushed back.
"So, you've all conspired to bully our family because we're all old, weak, sick, and disabled?" Liu Wangshi shrieked.
"Shut up!" Old Man Liu shouted.
The situation before them left them no choice but to act rashly.
Today, Madam Liu took Old Madam Liu out, but when they returned, Madam Liu was all alone.
The Liu family originally thought there was a chance for this, believing that as long as Old Madam Liu could enter the Song family, they wouldn't worry about them not helping.
But she waited and waited, until it got dark, but Grandma Liu still hadn't gone home.
She had a lot of things to do at home, and her two children were crying from hunger.
There was no other way, so they sent someone to the Song family to pick her up, only to be told that Old Mrs. Liu was not going back.
Old Man Liu was furious and threatened to drag Old Woman Liu back and beat her to death.
Sure enough, the whole family came to the Song family in a very aggressive manner, only to find that the Song family was already prepared.
Old Liu didn't dare to confront them directly, so he called out loudly into the house, "Old woman, it's time to go home."
The second son of the Liu family also shouted along with his father, "Mother, don't you want us anymore? We haven't eaten dinner yet."
Song Ning stood not far away and sneered. This family of able-bodied people can't do anything without Old Madam Liu.
The third son is not married yet, but he has basically been spoiled by Old Man Liu and can't do anything.
Liu Hong's two children were crying and calling for milk, making a lot of noise.
When Old Man Liu saw that no one was coming out, he started to speak kindly to Liu Yuelan: "Yuelan, please let your mother come out. The whole family is waiting for her."
Liu Yuelan repeated her previous statement: "My mother will not go back."
The onlookers were watching the spectacle, and he felt that he had lost even more face than Old Lady Liu.
Her face immediately darkened: "Go ask around, whose mother lives with her daughter? Doesn't she care about being laughed at? If she doesn't go back soon, she'll make the Liu family lose all face!"
Song Ning entered the courtyard, walked in front of Liu Yuelan, and then tossed the divorce papers in his hand.
"As long as you sign and put your fingerprint on this, you won't embarrass your Liu family."
Someone nearby asked, "Er Ya, what's this?"
"A divorce agreement".
Although no one in the village has divorced, they still know what divorce is.
For a moment, everyone began to whisper among themselves.
“As long as you sign and put your fingerprint here, my grandmother will have no further connection with your Liu family.”
Old Man Liu was so angry his face turned blue, and he pointed a trembling finger at Song Ning: "You, you..."
You talked for a long time but couldn't say a word.
"You'll only get me to sign and put my fingerprint on this if I die!"
Old Liu has stopped pretending. He's come to this point, what's the point of pretending anymore!
"I...I'm going to sue you! You...you all...you're trying to ruin my Liu family..."
Behind them, Liu Wangshi and her second daughter-in-law were surprisingly of one mind, both bowing their heads and sobbing.
Song Ning smiled and said, "If you don't want to sign this divorce agreement, that's fine too. You can bring me the two taels of silver that the county magistrate ordered last time."
The two people opposite them stopped crying instantly.
"How long has it been? You've already forgotten? Why don't I invite the magistrate over and we can have a proper talk?"
"You...you little bitch, you've gone too far!"
"Oh, so you know how to push your luck?" Song Ning's face darkened. "I'll give you two choices: either sign this divorce agreement or return the money."
The second son of the Liu family stepped forward and said ingratiatingly, "Er Ya, we are all family. Why can't we talk things out instead of making a scene like this?"
“A family? Sure, then you pay the two taels of silver for them. As soon as you pay, I’ll take Grandma home right away.”
Liu Lao Er choked, but was immediately pulled back by his wife, who glared at him and whispered a scolding, "Why are you getting involved?"
Most of the people present were from Dongyuan Village, and they couldn't stand it any longer: "Hey old man Liu, why don't you pay back the money? That was the magistrate's judgment. Do you think you can just renege on it?"
Song Ning raised his voice and said, "I asked, and if the compensation awarded by the government is not paid, you will go to jail."
The Liu family can't even come up with half a tael of silver, let alone two taels.
Should we choose people or money?
"Have you thought it through? Either pay me now, or sign this, otherwise I'm going to report you to the authorities."
Song Ning was already quite merciful, at least giving them two options.
Looking into the distance, Song Ning's lips curled up slightly: "Looks like there's no need to make a choice."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a voice rang out from outside the crowd: "What's going on?"
Everyone turned to look behind them. Zheng Gaoyi walked over, followed by Zhou Ling'an.
Zhou Ling'an walked to Song Ning's side, lowered his head and whispered, "I was afraid you would suffer, so I brought the magistrate along."
Song Ning smiled and said, "Well done."
Zheng Gaoyi stood to the side and heard their conversation clearly, silently mourning for Xie Linzhou in his heart.
Look at other people, they know how to handle things. Then look at Xie Linzhou, all he does is make others do his laundry.
It's no wonder that Er Ya likes the Zhou family boy. If it were him, he wouldn't have chosen Xie Linzhou, who doesn't understand romance.
Xie Linzhou, who had just entered the city on horseback, suddenly sneezed twice.
Zhang Ping, who was standing beside him, asked with concern, "Young Master, are you feeling unwell?"
Xie Linzhou waved his hand: "It's alright."
A group of people drove towards the Rongguo Duke's Mansion. Before they even arrived, a large number of people were already standing outside the mansion.
Surrounded by the crowd, Princess Jianing glanced into the distance a few times, and the old woman beside her immediately said, "Your Highness, the young master has returned."
Princess Jianing beamed with joy and whispered to the people around her, "Quickly, bring out all the things I prepared beforehand."
"yes."
I've finally come back, this time, I'm determined to make it happen.
