Since Lu Yan had promised to give Wan Mei five taels of silver, logically, he should have given her the letter of severance directly.
But when Lu Yan mentioned the letter of severance, Wan Mei's face turned ugly.
"Five taels is the price without a letter of severance."
When Wan Mei said this, everyone gasped.
I have seen people selling their children, but it is rare to see someone selling something for five taels of silver.
Wanmei is relying on the fact that Lu Yan and Qingqing have a relationship and wants to raise the price.
Hearing this, a chuckle came from the crowd.
"Why not let fourth brother and his wife take care of him?" It was Yu Nian.
"The doctor came last night and said that Qingqing will be a fool from now on. We will have to spend a lot of money in the future." After saying that, Yu Nian sighed and said, "We can't even get a share of the food when we divide the family. It's okay to have one more mouth to feed. But we may not be able to afford the long-term medical expenses."
Now, everyone in the village looked at Wan Mei with strange eyes.
It is not uncommon to see children being beaten in the village.
However, it is rare for a child to lose half of his life.
"impossible!"
When Wan Mei heard what Yu Nian said, she immediately spoke with anger on her face.
Looking at her like this, Lu Yan touched his chin thoughtfully: "Then this child is indeed not easy to take in."
When these words came out, Wan Mei's eyes widened.
Then Lu Yan said with a serious look on his face: "It really saved five taels."
"Of course not. I don't know how much I can save in the future."
Seeing Lu Yan and Yu Nian arguing with each other, they became even more heartless. The villagers all looked at each other strangely, but Wan Mei was extremely anxious.
Are you kidding? If Qingqing really stayed by his side, how would they be able to live in the future?
You have to pay medical expenses every few days, but you are still a fool.
Wanmei completely regarded Qingqing as a hot potato.
So, almost subconsciously, she opened her mouth and said, "Five taels, that's it. We'll give you the letter of severance."
As long as the severance agreement is signed, Qingqing will have nothing to do with them anymore.
Thinking of this, Wan Mei actually felt it was a good deal.
"You still want five taels now?"
According to Yu Nian, he didn't want to give a single penny.
Lu Yan now understood her sisters' intentions. She shrugged and had originally planned to secretly retrieve the money. Obviously, since Yu Nian wanted to take the lead, she would let her do it.
"Life is not easy for us at home. Raising a child is not easy. Fifth sister-in-law, why don't we just forget about it?"
As Yu Nian finished speaking, Wan Mei became increasingly anxious.
Qingqing was originally a daughter, blocking the way for their son.
I originally thought I could make some money with the help of this child, but I didn't expect that there is no chance at all now.
After much hesitation, Gu Lao Si finally spoke up: "Alright, then write a letter of severance and give the child to them."
Although Gu Laosi is a little smarter than Wanmei.
But not much.
He spoke directly at this moment.
When Wan Mei saw her five taels of silver flying away, she immediately started cursing.
"You're a little loser, it's fine if you just eat plain rice at home on weekdays, but what's wrong with you being injured? Is it your brain?"
As soon as she said this, some people in the village finally couldn't stand it anymore.
Aunt Chen was the first to speak: "I say, Fourth Brother, please stop now."
"That's right, be a little more virtuous."
"The child is still so young, what else can he do if he doesn't eat white rice? Wanmei, you used to live at your mother's house, didn't you ever eat white rice?"
Everyone was talking at once, and poking their fingers at Old Man Gu's spine again.
Old Man Gu glared at his fourth daughter-in-law fiercely, his face full of displeasure.
"Okay, give it to them if they want the kids."
She's just a girl, and Old Man Gu can't wait to get rid of this hot potato.
With Old Man Gu's words, the matter was finally settled.
Lu Yan handed Qingqing to Gu Linbei and watched Wanmei and Gu Laosi sign the severance agreement.
"Hey, sure."
The ink on the letter of severance hasn't dried yet.
Lu Yan heard Yu Nian speak: "Qingqing, the engagement booklet is ready, you can get up now."
As soon as these words were spoken, the little guy immediately sat up.
All this happened so quickly that everyone in the Gu family was stunned.
“You…you guys…”
When Wan Mei thought about the loss of five taels of silver, she immediately pointed at Lu Yan and Yu Nian.
"Are you cheating?"
Wan Mei's tongue trembled, and it took her a long time to finally speak.
"Hahaha."
Yu Nian laughed out loud.
"What else? Someone like you who uses your daughter as a tool to raise money, why should I let you get what you want?"
As a result, those who had previously disagreed with what Yu Nian and the others did could not help but nod their heads.
What happened in the Gu family today was really funny.
Seeing this, Wan Mei couldn't help but smash the door and went into the house.
Old Man Gu and Old Lady Gu were both unhappy when they saw this scene.
Then, the village chief's attention turned to Song Jiao'e, whose innocence was no longer guaranteed.
"Brother Gu, your family has also been divided, so I will..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw Old Man Gu turning his head to look at Song Jiao'e with a fierce look in his eyes.
Everyone was shocked, not knowing what he was going to do.
But Old Man Gu still pretended to be heartbroken and spoke each word with great emphasis: "Song is the daughter-in-law of my Gu family and also the daughter-in-law of Xiaohe Village. Now that she has brought shame upon the village, she should be dealt with according to the village rules."
When these words were spoken, everyone gasped.
According to the village rules, wouldn’t that mean just throwing him in a pig cage?
Is this old man Gu crazy?
No one has said anything about following the village rules yet, but he already came to us?
But after thinking about it, everyone understood.
Old man Gu has never lost face so badly before. He wants to get back at Song Jiao'e.
The village was completely silent, but Lu Yan no longer planned to continue watching this farce.
Old Man Gu did not agree to leave the house for them to live in, so she and Yu Nian had to pack up and leave early.
There's a lot of noise outside.
Lu Yan and Yu Nian in the room were moving extremely fast.
There were not many things in the fifth and sixth rooms to begin with, and the two of them helped each other and packed up quickly.
At this moment, the noise outside has reached a fever pitch.
Seeing that Gu Lao Er could not protect Song Jiao'e and Song Jiao'e was about to be dragged out and thrown into the pig cage, Mrs. Song, who had been resting in the room, finally could not sit still anymore.
"I am willing to pay, my dear relatives. How much money do you want? As long as my daughter's life can be spared, we are willing to give it."
Lu Yan and Yu Nian looked at each other.
It seems that Mrs. Song is not a good person either.
They saved her life without even a word of thanks.
On the contrary, Song Jiao'e is the one who cheated on someone, but she can spend money to save him. She can get as much as she wants.
Since the Song family was so unreasonable, Lu Yan felt that there was no need to give them any good face.
