Xiao Yi didn't feel sorry for Liu, he felt that this was the magnanimity that he should have as a man.
It wasn't that Liu cheated on him. She lost her own child, but she also developed a disease that made it difficult for her to have children in the future. This was already a punishment for her.
He knew that a woman who was unable to bear children would be walking on thin ice in this world, so he didn't want to do anything too extreme.
When Liu's mother heard Xiao Yi's resignation, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she couldn't laugh, after all, there would be a useless burden in the family.
"Okay, even if the deal fails, we still have our friendship. In that case, tear up the divorce letter and write a new one!"
How could she have the guts to describe her daughter's marriage as a business transaction?
In the end, Xiao Yi tore up the original divorce letter in front of the Liu family and wrote a new one. He signed his name and put his fingerprints on it, but Liu still refused to accept it.
Liu's mother was afraid that the Xiao family would lose patience and go back on their word, so she filed a complaint with the village headman's mansion. In the end, she forced Liu to put her fingerprints on the document, and then asked Liu's father to write Liu Xiu'er's name on it.
The moment the handprint was pressed, Liu Xiuer was so angry that her eyes rolled back and she fainted, right in front of Xiao Yi.
There was a slight emotion on Xiao Yi's face, but he still calmed himself down and didn't look or care.
He took the divorce letter and called Liu's father to go with him. He went to the pavilion chief's mansion that day to cross out his name on the marriage book. From then on, Xiao Yi became single again.
When leaving the Pavilion Chief's Mansion, Liu's father snorted coldly at the Xiao family, making it seem as if their family had suffered a loss.
Fortunately, the Xiao family didn't bother with him, and as long as the matter was resolved, they wouldn't say any more nonsense.
But Xiao's mother felt very distressed when she saw the dejected face of her third son.
"Son, look at it more positively. There are many good girls in the world. You are still young, what are you afraid of?"
Xiao Yi forced a smile towards his mother:
"I know, mother. I'm fine. We will live a good life together as a family from now on."
He is not a heartless person. Even tough guys have a soft side.
He had been truly sincere to Liu, so it was inevitable that he felt depressed for a while.
This went on for a whole day, and in an hour or so, the Xiao family could pack up their stall and go home, but today they had troubled Uncle Ergen and his family to run around with them, so they invited him and his two sons to have two bowls of noodles at the stall, and then go to the restaurant to buy a roast chicken as a reward.
The method that He Ji's noodle stall used to steal business didn't work very well. After suffering losses, the customers were no longer willing to go to his stall, so they all came to Xiao's.
Today, Zhou and Xiao Lanlan truly felt the business at the stall. Every time they sold a bowl of hot and sour noodles, they felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.
In her free time, Zhou went to the old doctor for acupuncture. After taking medicine for half a month, she showed obvious changes. She slept well at night, her complexion improved, and she felt refreshed after the acupuncture.
Jiang Sui asked Xiao's mother and learned that Liu's issue had been resolved and her third brother finally divorced her. She didn't expect that since the last time the Liu family came to ask for money and Liu followed them back to her parents' home, it would end up like this.
After Uncle Ergen and his two sons tasted the hot and sour noodles, they were shocked on the spot. No wonder the son of the Zhang family, who had tasted their noodles, told everyone back in the village that the Xiao family was going to become rich, had found a way to get rich, and were doing very well at their stalls in the town.
It turns out that they have developed such a fresh food, and it tastes so good, no wonder the business is so good, this is really going to be big.
Uncle Ergen felt a mixture of envy and confusion for a moment.
He has a good relationship with Xiao's father. In the past, he saw that his family was in difficulty and he always wanted to help him, but he was powerless. Now that his family is about to get rich, he feels jealous again.
It really proves the modern saying that one is afraid that his brothers will suffer, but also afraid that his brothers will drive a Land Rover.
"Ergen, I'm sorry to bother you today. I know you like roast chicken, so I bought one for you. I don't have time today, so I won't invite you to my house for dinner. I'll invite you to have a drink another day." Father Xiao said politely.
Upon hearing this, Uncle Ergen twisted off a chicken leg and just smiled, not knowing what to say.
…
In the following two days, because of Uncle Ergen, the Xiao family's business of setting up stalls has been confirmed in the village. Everyone is envious, but can't get any information. They are all anxious because they also want to get rich.
But how could they share their idea of making money with you? You usually look down on them, but this does not prevent some people from currying favor with the Xiao family.
As soon as Xiao's mother went out to the vegetable garden, everyone who saw her would chat with her enthusiastically. Those cousins who had had verbal disputes with her all came up to her and made friends with her. Some brought her vegetables, some invited her to their homes to eat melon seeds and chat, and some even came forward to propose marriage to Lanlan.
As the saying goes, if you are poor in a busy city, no one will care about you; if you are rich in a remote mountain area, you will have distant relatives. That’s all there is to it.
Although there are many people who are jealous, there are only one or two who actually have bad intentions.
For example, Chen Jinhua and Jiang Qiaoqiao.
Chen Jinhua lived in the center of the village and gossiped with a group of women every day. She also knew about the Xiao family's affairs, and she even went to the town to see it with her own eyes.
Wow, there were people coming and going at the Xiao family's stall. Xiao's mother was smiling happily as she received the money, and Jiang Sui, that ungrateful bastard, was able to live a good life by accident.
She was the first person to be jealous, and because of Jiang Sui, she had ideas that she shouldn't have had.
The next day at home, Jiang Qiaoqiao dressed up beautifully and was about to go out. She wore a flowery dress, flowery embroidered shoes, and a flower rope on her hair. It was obvious that she was going to look for Mr. Zhang.
She even cooked a few boiled eggs and put them in her pocket, hoping to use them to please him.
Just as she was about to go out, Chen Jinhua grabbed Jiang Qiaoqiao.
"What are you doing, Mom? I'm still waiting to see Zhang Lang, and I'm about to miss the time." Jiang Qiaoqiao was stopped and looked unhappy.
Chen Jinhua sighed and looked at her with a look of disappointment:
"You keep talking about this and that every day, it's been such a long time, why hasn't he come to propose marriage yet?"
"Mother, why are you so anxious? Zhang Lang is now aiming for the imperial examination and studying hard every day. He doesn't have the spare money to come to our house to propose marriage. But he said that he will definitely marry me in the future, and his position as the wife of a Jinshi will only be left to me."
Jiang Qiaoqiao was so moved that her face turned red.
Chen Jinhua couldn't bear to look at her daughter, but she still said something:
"Qiaoqiao, you must remember what your mother told you. You can meet Mr. Zhang, but you must not do anything out of line. You must know that a woman's innocence is the most important thing. You must leave a way out for yourself. This man is full of sweet talk, so you must be careful.
Also, you should go find that ungrateful Jiang Sui recently and get along with her. I have seen with my own eyes that the Xiao family is doing business in town and they make a lot of money every day. If you can coax Jiang Sui into a good mood and learn the recipe of the hot and sour noodles from her, then we won't have to worry about anything in the future. We will have more confidence when we have money in our hands, and money is more reliable than men."
