Chen Xiaoru took a deep breath, her eyes determined. She slowly walked up to Village Chief Chen and said word by word: "Village Chief Chen, I have made up my mind. Please agree to let me divorce my wife on behalf of my father!" Her voice was not loud, but it was resounding and full of unquestionable determination.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Chen Xiaoshuang fell to his knees with a plop, hugged Chen Xiaoru's thighs, and begged tearfully, "Sister Xiaoru, I beg you, please don't divorce my mother, and don't drive me and my brother away! If we are driven away, we will really be homeless!"
She cried so hard that her eyes were wet and her voice was hoarse, looking extremely pitiful.
"Do you know how to beg for mercy now?"
Chen Xiaoru sneered and looked down at Chen Xiaoshuang at her feet, without a trace of pity in her eyes. "When you two teamed up to bully Xiaoyu and me, did you ever think this day would come? Weren't you very arrogant and complacent back then?"
She bent down, reached out and pinched Chen Xiaoshuang's chin, forcing her to look up, and said word by word: "Are you scared now? It's too late!"
"Sister Xiaoru, I was wrong. I really know I was wrong!"
Chen Xiaoshuang's body was shaking violently, tears falling like beads from a broken string. "I won't dare to do it again. Please, just forgive us this time. We promise we won't dare to do it again!"
Chen Xiaoru suddenly shook off Chen Xiaoshuang's hand, stood up, turned to look at Village Chief Chen, and asked, "Village Chief Chen, what do you say about this?"
Village Chief Chen stroked his beard, rolled his eyes, and said slowly, "Ordinarily, I should agree to this, but for a father to divorce his wife, a man must be present to make it right..."
He deliberately dragged out his voice, and his small eyes rolled around between Chen Xiaoru and Song Zhe.
"Don't worry about that," Chen Xiaoru said firmly, "My brother is still young. As his older sister, I have the final say on his affairs! My decision is his decision!"
"In that case..."
Village Chief Chen nodded slowly, a complex emotion flashing in his vicissitudes of life eyes. His voice was low and powerful, "Okay, then. Come with me. I have paper and pen at home."
After saying this, he turned and walked towards his home. His steps were steady, yet with a barely perceptible heaviness.
Several people followed Village Chief Chen back to his home. Song Zhe wrote a divorce letter in no time. The group hurried back to Chen's house. Chen Xiaoru took the divorce letter and slapped it on Chen Xiaoshuang's face with a "slap" sound, saying coldly:
"Take your mother and get out! As for Chen Guyu, didn't they say Wang Mazi's family has no descendants? Perfect, you can go and have a family 'reunion'!"
She raised the corner of her mouth and her eyes scraped at Chen Xiaoshuang like a knife.
Chen Xiaoshuang slumped down on the ground, the divorce letter in her hand like a hot potato. Her eyes were empty as she muttered to herself, "It's over, it's all over..."
"Village chief, do you think this arrangement is appropriate?" Chen Xiaoru turned to look at Village Chief Chen, with a hint of inquiry in her tone.
"It's feasible." Village chief Chen nodded slightly, paused his hand stroking his beard, and glanced at Chen Xiaoru and Song Zhe.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Chen Xiaoru breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Village Chief Chen and said, "Village Chief Chen, it's getting late. I'll go back first. I'll trouble you to take care of the follow-up matters here."
Her tone was respectful, but her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.
"Okay, you go first, I'll take care of it later." Village chief Chen waved his hand with some approval on his face. Even if he didn't give face to Chen Xiaoru, he had to give face to Song Zhe. After all, he was a scholar with honors.
"Thank you very much, Village Chief." Song Zhe stepped forward and bowed.
Then the two turned and left.
Along the way, Chen Xiaoru remained silent, with her head lowered. Song Zhe followed her silently, watching her tightly pursed lips and slightly furrowed brows. He thought she was still sad about what had just happened, and he couldn't help but feel distressed, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
"System, what happened just now? Why do I feel like a different person? I was almost scared to death!" Chen Xiaoru muttered in her heart, her voice trembling a little.
"I detected some residual emotional fluctuations from the original owner. I tried to suppress them just now, but the original owner was too obsessed with it. The emotions did not completely dissipate until the incident was over. The original owner asked me to say 'thank you' to you."
The system's mechanical voice echoed in her head. "Is that so? You scared me. Will it happen again?"
Chen Xiaoru patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief. "No, the original owner has already been reincarnated," the system replied dryly.
"Xiao Ru, are you sad?" Song Zhe finally couldn't help but speak, his voice soft and gentle, with a hint of tentativeness and concern. He stopped and reached out to gently hold Chen Xiao Ru's hand, but found that her hand was cold.
"No, husband, let's go home quickly! Mom must be worried sick." Chen Xiaoru raised her head and looked at Song Zhe with a smile. She held Song Zhe's hand with her backhand and pulled him forward quickly, her steps hurried, as if she wanted to escape from something.
As soon as the two of them stepped into the house, Song's mother rushed over and grabbed Chen Xiaoru, looking her up and down several times: "How is it? Is the matter done? Is there anything wrong?"
"Mom, don't worry, it's all settled!" Song Zhe said with a smile, handing the divorce letter to Song's mother. "Chen Xiaoshuang and his mother have been kicked out, and Chen Guyu has been sent to Wang Mazi's house."
After Song Zhe finished speaking, Mother Song sighed, patted the back of Chen Xiaoru's hand, and said earnestly: "Xiaoru, this will be your home from now on. If you have any grievances, tell me and I will take care of it for you."
Chen Xiaoru's nose felt sore and her eyes reddened. She nodded vigorously, her voice choked with sobs: "Yes, thank you, mother."
"Silly child, what are you thanking me for? We are family, so we should keep different opinions." Mother Song touched Chen Xiaoru's head lovingly, turned to Song Zhe and said, "You two must be tired after a day. I'll go make you something to eat." After that, she turned and went into the kitchen with brisk steps, seeming to be in a good mood.
Song Zhe looked at Chen Xiaoru's tired expression and said softly, "Xiaoru, you look very tired. Why don't you go to your room and rest for a while? I'll call you later."
Chen Xiaoru was about to curse Song Zhe in her heart: "You heartless man, you tormented me like a bull last night, and now you're dragged up to do this crap so early in the morning. I'm almost falling apart! If it weren't for the Cheng Huan Pills keeping me alive, I would have given up long ago!"
She raised her head, and her face instantly changed into a delicate expression, and her voice was so sweet that it could squeeze water out of it: "Husband~ Don't you feel sorry for me~ Accompany me to sleep~ Okay~"
Song Zhe's heart softened. How could he refuse the request of his beloved at this moment? He gently held Chen Xiaoru's hand and nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you."
The two returned to the room, and as soon as the door closed, Chen Xiaoru threw herself into Song Zhe's arms. She hugged him tightly, burying her face in his chest. Song Zhe could feel the turmoil in her heart, and he gently stroked her back, silently comforting her.
It was not until Song's mother's voice came from outside the door, calling them to eat, that the two reluctantly let go of each other.
