Li Shulan's heart beat faster and she felt a little scared:
"There was a sound of a camera just now. I wonder if they took a picture of us."
Zhao Youcai thought she was making a fuss: "How could there be a camera? This is a hospital, not a photo studio."
Li Shulan also thought that she might be overthinking it, but her right eyelid kept twitching and her heart was in a panic.
Outside the ward, Ma Xiulan and a strange young man holding a camera were preparing to leave.
This man owns a photo studio on this street. He usually takes photos of weddings, but he didn't expect to get this order today. He was asked to take photos of an important person at the hospital. He came here thinking he could make a lot of money.
I didn't expect that I would come here to do this.
It really opened up new business for him.
The two returned to the photo studio. Ma Xiulan urged him to develop the film. Finally, he took two negatives and left in a hurry.
Ma Xiulan returned to the hospital and pushed open the door of the ward, scaring the two people who were hugging each other inside and causing them to quickly separate.
"Okay, there's no point in separating now. I filmed you two kissing each other just now."
Seeing that they didn't believe her, Ma Xiulan held up the film to show them, which was really eye-catching.
"You're old, it's really disgusting. Li Shulan, you too, can tolerate anything dirty and smelly."
Zhao Youcai's face flushed red.
Li Shulan said that she couldn't have heard it wrong, and it turned out that it was Ma Xiulan who took the photo.
This film must not be circulated. She took a step forward to grab the film, but Ma Xiulan slapped Li Shulan against the wall and grabbed her hair and lifted her up:
"You rat from the gutter, you still want to hurt me? I'm going to slap your face first."
After he finished speaking, there was another round of slapping sounds.
Li Shulan felt her head buzzing and her face was covered in blood.
In comparison, the two slaps from Old Lady Wang just now were just like tickling.
Before Ma Xiu Lan came, she specially bought a few stylish rings to wear on her hands so that she could make a move when the time came.
Zhao Youcai felt so distressed when he saw Li Shulan being beaten that he struggled to get off the bed to protect Li Shulan.
"If you do that again, I'll call the nurse!"
Ma Xiulan was full of anticipation: "Great, call the nurse quickly so everyone can see the faces of you two married people having an affair. We'll see whether you deserve to be shot or sent to the most miserable farm for reform."
Zhao Youcai was afraid: "Don't do that. Don't you want a divorce? We can get a divorce right now."
As long as you get divorced, it is no longer an affair.
Ma Xiulan shook her head. "I was thinking of divorce because I found you disgusting. Now you're either going to be shot or sent to a farm for reform. Whether I divorce or not, I'm going to live alone anyway, so there's no need for divorce."
When Zhao Youcai heard that he was going to be shot, he was so scared that his legs went weak.
"Let's talk it over. I'll give you the 3,490 yuan you asked for. Can we get a divorce now?"
Ma Xiulan shook her head: "Didn't I tell you yesterday that the price wouldn't be the same after yesterday?"
Zhao Youcai gritted his teeth and said, "What's the price today?"
Ma Xiulan thought for a moment and said with embarrassment: "Since you're begging me, I'll give you a chance. 6,000 yuan plus the house on Zhaojiayangchun Road."
Zhao Youcai thought she would at most add a few hundred dollars, but he didn't expect her to ask for such a huge amount, actually 6,000, and also wanted the house left by her father.
"No, it's too much. I can't take it out."
Ma Xiulan didn't care: "Then you and Li Shulan can just wait for the punishment for having an affair."
Li Shulan looked at Zhao Youcai fearfully: "Youcai, think of a solution quickly."
She knew that the execution was a threat from Ma Xiulan, but going to a farm for reform was certain.
Ma Xiulan said coldly, "I'll only give you ten minutes to consider. If you don't agree, the price won't be the same next time."
Zhao Youcai was counting on his fingers. 6,000 yuan plus the previous 1,820 yuan was a total of less than 8,000 yuan, which would take him more than ten years' salary to pay back.
Ma Xiulan said slowly, "I'm going to spend more than ten years' salary in exchange for you and Li Shulan living a free and easy life outside. When I think about it, I feel like it's a small loss. Why not just forget it?"
Zhao Youcai was afraid that Ma Xiulan would raise the price again, so he quickly agreed: "Okay, but you also know that I just lost money, and I don't have that much money to give you now."
Ma Xiulan took out a pen and paper from her bag and began to write the divorce agreement:
"If you don't have the money, we'll write an IOU and deduct it from your salary. The interest rate will be calculated according to private lending. You sign a salary-leading agreement, and we'll go find Director He to sign it later."
Zhao Youcai didn't expect that Ma Xiu Lan, a cook who only knew how to cook, could actually write a divorce agreement that was well-organized and without any loopholes. I'm afraid even Shu Lan couldn't write it.
In her previous life, Ma Xiulan was old and loved watching TV programs like legal lectures.
When she was framed and tortured by Zhao Youfu, she also had thoughts of divorce. Her children were all mean to her and thought it would be shameful for her to divorce at her old age.
There were two copies of the divorce agreement. Zhao Youcai was about to sign and put his fingerprints on it, but Li Shulan reminded him to get all the negatives.
Ma Xiulan gave one and kept one in her pocket.
Li Shulan covered her face and whispered, "What's the difference between giving it and not giving it?"
She was afraid of angering Ma Xiulan and having her slapped again.
Ma Xiulan smiled faintly: "Of course I have to keep one. In case you don't pay me, I have to use the negative to remind you."
Zhao Youcai took the agreement and signed it directly to prevent Ma Xiulan from raising the price again.
It was just a negative. Later he would let the children steal the negative from Ma Xiu Lan.
