Chapter 40: Determined to Get Rid of the Scumbag
"What do you think? We'll know whether it is true or not by doing the calculation." Lin Xi stepped forward and took the cash box from Ge Xuecai's hand.
She had just taken a step away when Ge Xuecai suddenly stood up and rushed towards Lin Xi, snatched the cash box from her hand with nimble movements, and ran outside.
These actions were done in one go, leaving Lin Xi almost no time to react.
Dai Lan'er stared blankly at everything that was happening before her eyes. She had always had illusions about Ge Xuecai, and always felt that he just hadn't thought things through for the time being. Now that he had a good opportunity, he would definitely consider his family and his son.
But she never expected that Ge Xuecai would snatch the cash box in broad daylight.
"I, I will go get him back!" Dai Lan'er said this, but her steps were so flustered that she almost couldn't stand. Fortunately, Lin Xi supported her in time.
"Big sister, forget it." Lin Xi said calmly, "If it's something else, I might be able to let it go, but when it comes to stealing, once it happens, there will be a second one. I really can't tolerate it."
Dai Lan'er lowered her head and said nothing. Although she had never done business, she knew very well that it was a simple truth that thieves should not be kept.
Dai Lan'er was too embarrassed to say anything to her man after he did such a thing.
"No matter what, I can't let you lose all this in vain. I will make him get the money back." Dai Lan'er said.
Seeing Dai Lan'er's sadness, Lin Xi changed the subject, "Ge Xuecai took the cash box away just for the money inside. Nothing will happen to him. If you go over now, the money will probably be gone. Yang'er is still next door."
"Yang'er, my Yang'er." Dai Lan'er calmed down instantly when she heard her son's name. Although it was really hateful that her husband stole money, she couldn't just ignore her son.
"Let's go and see him." Lin Xi held Dai Lan'er's hand, closed the shop door, and turned into the house next door.
In the study, Ge Liyang was studying with Xiao Yongyan. The little guy was not even as tall as a small tree, but he carried the book in a very proper manner, and his childish voice revealed determination.
"These days, Yang'er follows her husband to study when she has nothing to do. Her husband said that Yang'er has a good memory and high comprehension, and is a good material for study." Lin Xi's voice was steady, but it seemed to carry magic, seeping into Dai Lan'er's heart bit by bit.
She knew that her son was talented, but the school run by Wang Xing'an in the village charged too high a fee and she simply could not afford it.
"Sister, if you come to my shop and work for at least fifteen days a month, you will earn one thousand five hundred coins, which is enough to pay for Yang'er's schooling." Lin Xi continued.
Dai Lan'er was stunned. She was only happy that she could make money before and had never seriously calculated the accounts.
Now that she thought about it carefully, it seemed that she did have the money to send Yang'er to school, and a smile appeared on Dai Lan'er's face.
Seeing this, Lin Xi suddenly changed the subject, "It's impossible to succeed overnight just by studying. People often say that studying for ten years is hard. But they don't know that family members are also very important. Those whose parents have bad behavior will also be affected when they take the exam."
Dai Lan'er had no idea about these things before. When she heard Lin Xi say this, her head started to hurt again.
Yang'er's father is really unreliable.
Lin Xi didn't say anything else. She had done everything she should do. It was up to Dai Lan'er to decide what to choose.
"I'll go see if I can get your money back." Dai Lan'er murmured, turned and left.
Lin Xi knew that Dai Laner needed to think carefully on her own.
Three days later.
The village was in an uproar. It was the first time in all these years that someone proposed divorce.
This was truly huge news, and Lin Xi, who had received the news, was basking in the sun in the yard. Xiao Yongyan raised his head and said with a smile, "You, the instigator, are really calm."
Lin Xi didn't care. "I just saw that their family was in trouble, so I wanted to provide a job to help them. As for other things, it has nothing to do with me."
Xiao Yongyan smiled. He hadn't realized that his wife had such a sinister side.
Ge family.
Dai Lan'er hugged Ge Liyang tightly and started arguing with Ge Xuecai in the yard, "I can't live like this for even a day. I don't have any other requests, just ask you to put your fingerprint on the divorce agreement."
"Divorce? Pah!" Ge Xuecai didn't even bother to look at the so-called divorce agreement. "I married you, and you will be mine until death. You want to run away now? Impossible!"
"How is it impossible? I've asked around. Even though we're married, we can get divorced as long as both parties are willing." Dai Lan'er summoned up all her courage for the first time. No matter what happened today, she must divorce Ge Xuecai.
She couldn't sleep every night these days, thinking about what to do best.
After much thought, she still felt that she must divorce and must not let Ge Xuecai affect her son's future.
The crowd of onlookers surrounded the place in three layers, and only one young man ran to Lin Xi's house.
Seeing Lin Xi's leisurely look, he said anxiously, "Sister, something big has happened!"
Lin Xi was calm and composed, "What big deal can it be? It's just a divorce. It's nothing unusual."
These people don’t know that divorce is a very normal thing in modern society and it is not news at all.
"Let's go and take a look." Lin Xi then stood up and followed Dai Liyun to the Ge family.
Passing through the crowds, Ge Xuecai spotted Lin Xi at a glance. He immediately pointed at her nose and cursed, "It's all your fault, you bitch. What kind of magic potion did you give my wife that she wants to divorce me?"
Lin Xi looked nonchalant and laughed. "For so many years, Dai Lan'er has lived a life like this in your house. Don't others know what kind of life you have led? As a man, not only can you not earn money to support the family and work in the fields, but you are also addicted to gambling every day. When you get home, you go around looking for money and beat or scold Dai Lan'er. Look at your son, a five-and-a-half-year-old child, who is not even as tall as a four-year-old."
Lin Xi likes these vivid and clear examples when speaking. For example, Ge Xuecai beat his wife. Not everyone may have seen the live version, but Ge Liyang is thin and small, and everyone present could see it.
Compared with his own children, Ge Liyang is indeed too short.
Seeing this, everyone's evaluation of Ge Xuecai immediately dropped a lot. As a father, he could not mistreat anyone else but his own son. Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs.
"What did you just say? It was all my fault?" Lin Xi turned around and looked at everyone. "Can you all give me some judgement? I first invited Dai Lan'er to help in my shop. I never shortchanged her a day's salary of 100 coins. Later, I asked Ge Xuecai to come and work together. No matter how you look at it, I didn't mean to harm their family, did I?"
Everyone stood on Lin Xi's side this time. What she said made sense. They provided you with an opportunity to make money, but you turned around and criticized them. They wanted such a good opportunity but couldn't get it.
