Chapter 474 A Dream of Youth 6
"well......"
Liu Xi sighed first, then his eyes flashed with anger. "That Guo Dayong is a scoundrel! Didn't several villages suffer from disasters a while ago? The refugees fled to our village, and Guo Dayong's family bought two daughters with a silver bracelet, saying they would be child brides."
Their family still has Guo Silang and Guo Erlang's eldest son, Sangen, who isn't married yet, but how old is Sangen? Not even eight years old! They say she's a child bride, but she's already living with Guo Dayong!
Ah Yun is working as a maid at that house!
As she spoke, Liu Xi unconsciously shed tears. She had even held A-Yun when she was little. A-Yun married into this family, and the longer they lived together, the more she liked her. A-Yun had a wonderful personality.
“A few days ago, my grandson was playing with white pebbles in the corner of his house when he saw that woman hitting Ayun. Guo Dayong not only did nothing, but he also helped the woman hit Ayun, saying that once Ayun died, he could marry someone else!”
The reason why their family has been reluctant to divorce Xie Yun is because she has her own family supporting her, and they are reluctant to part with that money. Even now, for the sake of continuing the family line, they are still reluctant to divorce her because they have to return her dowry.
They had already used up Xie Yun's dowry long ago, so where would they get the money back?
So there's only one way: Xie Yun dies. Not only will they not have to return the dowry, but they can also extort money from the Xie family, since Xie Yun has delayed their eldest son for twelve years!
Grandma Xie's face darkened. "Didn't Liu Aqing say anything? Did she just let my Ayun be bullied like that?"
Liu Xi closed her eyes and stopped speaking. Her silence spoke volumes. The three of them were best friends since childhood, but now they had fallen out like this.
What did Liu Aqing say when he proposed to Ayun?
I would never let her Dayong bully Ayun! But what about now?
She's the cruelest tormentor!
Grandmother Xie's chest heaved, but she still managed to calm herself down. "Axi, keep an eye on things for me. I know that if we go there rashly, Liu Aqing's family will definitely not admit it, nor will they allow Ayun to divorce. They will only say that the woman was given to Guo Sangen as a child bride. I must catch them!"
If one takes a concubine, it must be done with official permission. To commit adultery while one's wife is still at home, regardless of gender, is punishable by three years in prison!
"What about A-Yun?" Liu Xi asked with a worried expression.
"Divorce! We must get a divorce! Our Ayun won't stand for this!" Grandmother Xie also hardened her stance. She had previously advised her daughter to endure it, since she was in the wrong for not being able to raise the child.
Then she thought that she and her husband were still able to work and earn more money to support their eldest daughter. That way, Guo Dayong wouldn't look down on her daughter, Ayun, so they could adopt a child and have someone to rely on in their old age.
Who would have thought it would be such a wicked demon!
"Alright, I'll keep an eye on things for you. My eldest son is a skilled hunter and knows how to lie low, so I'll have him keep watch. You go and bring the men here!"
Guo Dalang, who was guarding the gate outside, kept nodding his head. He had been kicked out by his mother a long time ago to go pick up Aunt Hui, and now he was really sleepy.
Grandma Xie calmed herself down and said, "Ah Xi, go and call Ah Yun over for me. I need to ask her something."
"good."
Liu Xi took a few pancakes from the kitchen and went over, saying she wanted Xie Yun to draw a shoe pattern for her, and then invited Xie Yun out.
Seeing Xie Yun's pale face and emaciated appearance, Grandmother Xie finally couldn't hold back her tears and angrily said, "Are you stupid? You suffered so much and didn't even tell the family? Did you even send a message? Do you want your old mother and father to collect your body after you die? Did you grow up for nothing? You heartless wretch! You are unfilial! Do you want your father and me to bury our black-haired child?"
Xie Yun lowered her head, tears streaming down her face, wetting the dust.
"Mother, your daughter is useless. Going back will only bring you gossip. It would be better... better to die. Then you and Father won't have to worry about me anymore... Waaah..."
Xie Yun collapsed to the ground in tears. She was only thirty-one years old, but she looked like a fifty-year-old woman. She had been worn down by hardship, and the guilt of being unable to bear children weighed heavily on her shoulders, making it hard for her to breathe.
No matter how much her husband's family mistreated her, she dared not complain to her own family, for fear of causing gossip at home.
Her eldest son and Qi'er still need to take their exams. Her eldest son is so good to her. If this affects them, she will not be able to atone for her sins even if she dies!
