Fu Xiuzhi was not moved by Feng Chao's request. In fact, when she first got married, Feng Chao would occasionally apologize for doing it himself, but as time went by, he was too lazy to even pretend.
"No matter what you say or do, I won't change my mind. Just go." Fu Xiuzhi had made up her mind and turned back to the inner room.
Chen Youmei spat fiercely, "Scum!" and followed him in.
Feng Chao wanted to follow, but Heiwa blocked his way.
Damn, is this dog a spirit?
"Mom and Dad, please persuade Xiuzhi. How can a divorced woman live in this day and age?" Feng Chao turned around and knelt before the Fu family elders again. "I was blinded by greed before and I've let her down. I won't do that again. Please don't let Xiuzhi divorce me, okay?"
Feng Chao actually also likes Xiuzhi. She is beautiful, gentle, and virtuous, but he simply cannot control his hands.
Why isn't the widow in the village who's in love with him afraid to do it herself?
If everyone knew what he was thinking, they would definitely beat him up again, because that widow depends on you for her livelihood!
Fu Manshan had also made up his mind last night, but at that time, he was not so determined and was still hesitant as to whether it would work. He had only heard what the government leaders who came to the village to preach about marriage and laws in the 1950s, and he remembered it in his heart.
Over the years, there have been many conflicts around him, but no divorces. He doesn't know how this idea came up in him.
But now he has made up his mind. If his daughter wants to divorce, he supports her! At worst, he can support her for the rest of her life!
It has to be said that Fu Manshan's ideas have surpassed most people of this era. He and Jiang Fengxia are both good parents who are wholeheartedly devoted to their children.
Fu Baoer is in the Chen family, but her heart is in the Fu family.
Divorce? Is it the same as the ancient practice of divorce? But no matter what her grandparents and her sister-in-law decide, she will support them. After all, the family can afford to support her sister-in-law.
In his previous life, Fu Baoer brought good luck to people and solved their problems, so he has gotten used to it. In this life, he will just take care of his only family!
"Go ahead. We'll notify you when we go to the city to get a divorce." Fu Manshan turned his back and didn't even look at his son-in-law.
Feng Chao's eyes widened in anger. "How can you, as a parent, watch your daughter get divorced? After she leaves me, she'll be a second-hand commodity, worthless. Who would want her in the future?"
Jiang Fengxia picked up a cup and smashed it on Feng Chao's head. "Get out! Even if my daughter never gets married, we, her parents, will still take care of her. Why should you worry about her? Get out!"
Feng Chao covered the blood on his forehead, his eyes gloomy and frightening, "Don't regret it! Even if you kneel down and beg me, I don't want this rag of Fu Xiuzhi..."
"Get out! Get out!" Chen Youpeng pushed Feng Chao, stopping him from saying anything else. "If you don't leave, I'll get someone to kick you out!"
Feng Chao went out reluctantly, pushed his bicycle and left without looking back.
Just wait, these people, the day will come when you will come to me for help!
After Feng Chao left, the Fu family welcomed several groups of people one after another.
Feng Guiying looked at Jiang Fengxia worriedly, "Sister-in-law, divorce is no small matter. Have you thought it through?"
"I've thought about it. I can't let my daughter go back to the Feng family's hell. It's like asking for her life!"
"But this woman is divorced, what will happen next?"
No one in the room spoke for a moment.
Fu Baoer lay in Song Fang's arms, thinking, I have hands and feet, what can I do? Can I starve to death?
Fu Manshan and Chen Zhifang squatted in the yard, smoking their pipes one by one. The wrinkles on the faces of the two old men were like ravines, and it was unknown how many vicissitudes of life they had experienced.
"Brother, although I'm the village secretary, I've never seen anyone get divorced in all these years. It's not that I don't support Xiuzhi's divorce, but I'm worried about her future."
Chen Zhifang recalled his own era, a time of war and turmoil, with everyone struggling to survive. Finally, the new China was established, and everyone embarked on a new journey of exploration. Wrong policies made life increasingly difficult for the common people, and no one knew what would happen in the future. This woman was helpless, divorced, and had no man to rely on. How difficult must her life be?
"Your family seems to be doing well now, but what about when you get old? How many work points can Xiuzhi, a woman, earn in a year? And you have three granddaughters to raise."
If Fu Manshan had not heard the gods' message in his dreams and had not personally experienced those magical things, he really would not have dared to let his daughter divorce easily. However, these things were known only to the couple, and no one else knew.
"I've thought about your concerns," Fu Manshan said, taking a puff of his cigarette. "I'm just afraid that if my daughter doesn't divorce, that beast Feng Chao will beat her to death sooner or later. Besides, our two families have fallen out, so he won't be able to treat Xiuzhi well in the future. As for the future, we'll talk about it later. You can't let a living person die from holding his urine."
Chen Zhifang sighed. He was not Xiuzhi's father and could not make decisions for Xiuzhi. Since the Fu family had made up their minds, he would help them get things done.
After the Chen family left, the two brothers of the Fu family also came with their wives and children. As soon as the younger ones entered the door, they couldn't wait to pick up the melon seeds and chestnuts on the table, which made Fu Baoer look disgusted.
Fu Tianming let Fu Tianyun carry him on his back, with an angry look on his face. As soon as he came in, he pointed at Fu Xiuzhi and asked, "Who told you to divorce Feng Chao? You are so lucky to marry into such a good family like the Feng family. You still dare to divorce? I think your brain is stuffed with donkey hair."
Li Ying also looked concerned. "Sister, don't listen to some people who talk nonsense. She can't bear to see you marry into such a good family as the Feng family, so she's trying to get you a divorce. She has bad intentions! Listen to your sister-in-law and admit your mistake to Feng Chao. He'll promise not to hit you again. Okay?"
After the two finished speaking, no one in the room paid any attention to them and an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
"Ahem, Xiuzhi, second brother, let me be fair. It's true that Feng Chao was a bit of a jerk, but what do women want in life? Isn't it just to have a man by their side and have a child in the future, and then this life is over? Sometimes it's just a matter of turning a blind eye."
"Yes, sister, it will be fine if you have a child in the future. For the sake of the child, Feng Chao will not do anything." Zhao Like had heard that Fu Xiuzhi wanted to return the betrothal gift. All this money went into their pockets back then.
Fu Xiuzhi raised her eyes and looked at her brother and sister-in-law. These were her family.
"How much money did you take from Feng Chao? When you proposed marriage to me, I didn't want to. I only married him because you kept telling me that the Feng family was well-off and could help my parents. But when I got there, I found out that the Feng family wouldn't let me contact my parents at all. This year, I didn't receive a single letter from my parents.
And now, what benefits has Feng Chao given you to let you act as lobbyists?"
