Chapter 3 Severing Relationship
Zhang Dequan, the head of Dahe Village, pushed through the crowd and shouted at Zhang Defu, "You've become quite capable."
Zhang Qiuye took great effort to help Tian Caihong up.
When Tian Caihong saw that the person coming was the village head, she felt like she saw a savior and started to shout at the top of her lungs.
Zhang Dequan stopped him in time, "Shut up, you're not a good person either."
When the crowd saw the village head coming, they showed no signs of leaving.
Zhang Juexia bowed respectfully to Zhang Dequan.
Zhang Dequan glanced at Zhang Juexia from head to toe, then frowned and looked at Zhang Defu, "What are your rules for getting this girl married off?"
With so many people gathered in the yard and being questioned in person by the head of the village, Zhang Defu had to consider his own face no matter how reluctant he was, as he still had to stay in Dahe Village in the future.
He straightened his hair that Tian Caihong had pulled out and straightened his back. "My daughter, Zhang Defu, is getting married, so how can the dowry be shabby? The Ye family gave us ten taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and I'll give you another two taels. Twelve taels should be enough."
Tian Caihong howled, "God damn it, are you going to let me live..., you..."
She pounced on Zhang Defu and was about to scratch his face.
The scratch on his face just now made Zhang Defu gasp. How could he let Tian Caihong succeed this time? He raised his foot and kicked her to the ground.
Some people in the crowd cheered.
"Zhang Defu, you've finally been a man for once."
"It's outrageous for a grown man to be ordered around by a woman all day long. He deserves to be punished."
Zhang Dequan drove away all the onlookers and gave Zhang Defu a good scolding.
Tian Caihong got up tremblingly with the help of Zhang Qiuye. Her mouth and nose were bleeding, and her hair was a mess. She had lost all her former charm.
Zhang Juexia sensed Zhang Dequan's good intentions and deliberately moved closer to him, "Thank you, uncle, the village head, for helping me."
Zhang Dequan sighed. He had known about Zhang Defu's family situation for a long time.
It is difficult for a judge to judge family affairs, so he usually turns a blind eye.
But if he doesn't take care of what happened today, it will bring shame to their Dahe Village.
This is not a loss of face.
Zhang Dequan turned his face to Zhang Defu and said, "I'm here just in time to be a witness. Go get the twelve taels of silver and give it to Xia'er. Also, take out a set of clothes that your wife made for her daughter. Let Xia'er wear it when she gets married tomorrow."
Tian Caihong was afraid of being beaten and didn't dare to speak, but she was in charge of keeping the silver and clothes, and no one could take them out unless she touched them.
Seeing that Tian Caihong didn't move, Zhang Defu raised his hand to hit her.
Tian Caihong also took the risk, "Zhang Defu, you can ask me for the money, but today we have to make it clear, if she, Zhang Juexia, exists, I will not exist, and if I exist, she, Zhang Juexia, will not exist.
I only want you to sever your father-daughter relationship with her, and she will have both the money and the clothes."
"you……."
"Zhang Defu, you can beat me as much as you want. Even if you want to kill me, I still want this condition. The worst that can happen is that Dongsheng will lose his mother."
Tian Caihong sat down on the ground, crying, "My poor son!"
Zhang Dequan also lost his temper because of Tian Caihong, the shrew. He looked at Zhang Juexia and asked, "Big girl, what do you think?"
Zhang Juexia wanted more than anything to sever ties with the Zhang family, but she had to hide her joy and pretend to be in embarrassment.
"Uncle, how can I put Dad in a difficult position? The bond between father and daughter is thicker than blood, and it cannot be severed with words."
Everyone knows how to act according to the situation. After saying this, Zhang Juexia forced out a few tears.
Zhang Dequan praised the girl for her intelligence in his heart, but can the relationship between father and daughter be severed so easily?
He turned around and told Zhang Defu, "Go get some paper and pen."
Today he had a fight with this shrew. There was no shrew in his village that he couldn't deal with.
Zhang Defu obediently took out paper and pen.
Zhang Dequan wrote three copies of the letter of severance with great enthusiasm. He first said to Zhang Defu, "You put your fingerprints on it first, and then have your daughter put one on it. I'll leave one copy here for your wife to go into the house and get some money and clothes."
Tian Caihong used this as a threat because she didn't want to take the money.
But it was written in black and white, so she couldn't deny it.
He had no choice but to go into the house and get the silver and clothes.
Zhang Dequan took it and looked at it before handing it to Zhang Juexia, "Big girl, put it away carefully."
Zhang Juexia was so excited that tears welled up in his eyes, and he carefully put it away.
"Take this one too."
Zhang Dequan also gave a copy of the document to Zhang Juexia, "Uncle can only help you now. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come back to the village to find uncle."
Zhang Defu was holding the document in his hand, staring blankly. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
He looked at Zhang Juexia with eyes full of guilt, "Xia'er, Dad..."
Zhang Juexia had already received the money and had no intention of dealing with him anymore.
After chatting for a few minutes, he went to bed to catch up on his sleep.
As soon as the sky was light, the Ye family came to pick up the bride.
Zhang Juexia took so much silver that Tian Caihong was unhappy and didn't even want to pretend. She didn't show up.
The Ye family's wedding party was welcomed to the woodshed by Zhang Defu.
After all, he had just signed a document severing ties with Zhang Juexia yesterday, so Zhang Defu looked at Zhang Juexia with evasive eyes.
There was nothing wrong with Zhang Juexia. She had no intention of recognizing such a father and had been eager to sever ties with him for a long time.
Ye Beixiu was led into the woodshed and was really scared.
He had inquired about Zhang Juexia's situation a long time ago and knew that she was not living a happy life in her parents' home, but he did not expect it to be so terrible.
Zhang Juexia was wearing a veil and saw a man limping towards her out of the corner of her eye.
I suddenly felt a sense of height oppression.
This person should not be short.
"You guys just live a good life from now on."
Zhang Defu didn't ask the two newlyweds to bow. He just waved his hand and went into the house.
Ye Beixiu stood beside Zhang Juexia awkwardly, feeling a little at a loss.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Juexia reminded him, and then he carefully helped Zhang Juexia onto the ox cart.
After Zhang Juexia was settled, Ye Beixiu also got on the ox cart.
"It's a bumpy road, hold on tight."
Zhang Juexia nodded.
The mountain road twisted and turned until Zhang Juexia felt dizzy. Then she heard the cheers of children outside, "The bride is here."
Someone came forward and helped Zhang Juexia get off the ox cart. She bowed to Ye Beixiu in a daze, and then she was sent to the bridal chamber.
Ye Beixiu was holding a scale bar and was pushed in front of Zhang Juexia.
Zhang Juexia sat on the edge of the bed, his palms sweating with nervousness.
After all, it was a blind marriage. What if she was worried that the man in front of her was ugly?
Ye Beixiu's throat trembled slightly, he was probably worried about the same thing.
"Groom, why are you so slow? Hurry up and lift the veil so we can see what the bride looks like."
"That's right, that's right, you can't bear to let us see it!"
