Chapter 53: Successful Dissociation

Li Cuihua's lips were trembling and she couldn't utter a word.

She had always thought that Xia Shuangshan separated from her only because he was instigated by Xia Juanjuan and was angry for a while. She also thought that after a few months, Xia Shuangshan would change his mind and come back to work for the Xia family!

She never imagined that her second son, who had always been dull, obedient and filial, would suddenly be so cold-blooded and heartless... and want to break off the engagement with her!

"Old... Second brother... Don't try to scare your mother... If you continue to act like a jerk, I'll... I'll let your eldest brother and your third brother beat you up!"

Xia Shuangshan sneered: "You can let them try! If two of them come at me together, and I don't fight back and beat them until they cry for their parents, I'm not Xia Shuangshan!"

Fear flashed in Li Cuihua's eyes.

Her second son...is serious! He really wants to break off the relationship with her!

Seeing that something was wrong, Liu Hongmei and Sun Yuxiu quickly spoke up to persuade him, "Second Uncle, you... stop joking! Look how scared you are of our mother!"

Xia Shuangshan glanced at the two of them coldly: "Who is joking? Secretary Zhao, please help me write a document and I will put my fingerprints on it!"

Seeing that Xia Shuangshan was adamant, Liu Hongmei and Sun Yuxiu exchanged glances and walked towards Lin Yuru.

"Sister-in-law, please persuade your second brother! This break-up of the engagement is no joke! Do you really want to be known as unfilial in the future? This man was impulsive and didn't think so far ahead. As women, don't we have to be by his side to persuade him?!" Liu Hongmei held Lin Yuru's hand and said earnestly.

"That's right! Second sister-in-law! If you don't quickly persuade second brother to give up this rebellious idea of ​​severing the relationship, then the whole village will poke your spine and scold you in the future, saying that you don't want to support your parents-in-law and instigate your husband to do this!" Sun Yuxiu also hurriedly said.

They both have clear minds.

If Xia Shuangshan just wanted to split up the family, there would still be room for maneuver. But if the relationship was really severed, not only would the Xia family no longer have two old oxen to work and earn money, but Li Cuihua's retirement would also fall entirely on the shoulders of their two families!

Who can bear this?

Lin Yuru looked at the two of them, firmly pushed them away, and said, "I am just a woman, I support my man's decision! Besides, Li Cuihua is going to go to the town to sue my daughter. If I stand in my way, won't that harm my daughter?"

Liu Hongmei and Sun Yuxiu looked uncertain when they saw that even Lin Yuru, who had always been cowardly and easily bullied, was so determined.

Secretary Zhao listened to Xia Shuangshan's words and showed a cautious and serious expression on his face: "Xia Shuangshan, breaking off an engagement is no small matter. Do you really want to do this?"

Xia Shuangshan nodded and said, "Secretary Zhao, I was a bastard and a good-for-nothing when it came to my daughter's marriage. I didn't fulfill my responsibilities as a father and let Li Cuihua do whatever she wanted without protecting her. But God has mercy on me. Although my aunt is... she is a real man who is willing to give my daughter the allowance so that she won't be wronged. I can't just sit there and watch Li Cuihua mess things up again and ruin my daughter's life! Please help me write a document!"

Li Cuihua came back to her senses from the shock at this time. She suddenly sat down on the ground, crying and cursing: "Oh! Xia Shuangshan, you unfilial son! For a money-losing girl, you even abandoned your mother! I raised you with great difficulty for so many years, and even found a wife for you! You...this is how you repay me! Wuwuwuwuwu! It's so unfair! Why doesn't God send down a thunderbolt to kill this unfilial son!"

The villagers nearby couldn't stand it any longer.

Moreover, because this incident caused quite a stir, many villagers from Xia Village, including the village head and the village party secretary, rushed over, and a large crowd of people stood at the gate of the commune.

Someone from Xia Village couldn't help but sneer, "Li Cuihua, you really know how to flatter yourself! Who in our village doesn't know who has what? For example, your second son earned the most work points and money, but he was the last one to get married. Even your third son, who was several years younger than him, got married before it was his turn. Which of the betrothal gifts for your eldest and third sons wasn't earned by your second son? You are so biased, and you still have the nerve to be someone else's mother!"

"That's right! I really support Xia Lao Er in this matter! Even I, a person from another village, feel that Xia Lao Er has lived a miserable life these years! If it were me, I would have cut off my relationship with this extremely biased old hag long ago!"

"Me too! If anyone dares to harm my child, no matter who it is, I would not be a man if I don't slap her in the face! This is a good decision!"

Li Cuihua had never expected that Xia Shuangshan was so unfilial that he wanted to break off relations with her and stop supporting her in her old age. However, everyone in the commune stood on Xia Shuangshan's side and criticized her in unison. They were so shocked that they forgot to continue crying and cursing.

Xia Shuangshan looked at Li Cuihua with a cold face and said, "Li Cuihua, although we are breaking off the engagement, don't worry. I will pay you one yuan a month for the sake of your giving birth to me. However, if I hear you say that you are uncomfortable with my daughter again, you don't have to think about this yuan anymore!"

In his heart, Xia Shuangshan was actually not willing to give this money.

But the man his daughter married was a soldier after all.

He was not afraid of Li Cuihua suing him. What he was afraid of was that even if it was him who was sued, it would still affect his daughter-in-law and aunt.

He might as well treat this dollar as feeding the dog! This way, even if Li Cuihua sued him, he would stand firm and not be afraid!

Moreover, with the profit of this money hanging in the balance, Li Cuihua would be cautious for fear of losing the whole money.

Secretary Zhao saw this and felt that although the relationship was severed, the pension had been provided. Li Cuihua would not be able to cause any trouble, let alone in the county, even if she went to the capital.

Therefore, the document was quickly written and then read out in public.

Xia Shuangshan pressed his fingerprint without hesitation.

Although Li Cuihua still wanted to make trouble, she was afraid that Xia Shuangshan would really stop giving her the money in the future. So she went back in shame when Liu Hongmei and Sun Yuxiu advised her to be patient and think long and hard.

Liu Lan and Li Qiaoqiao, who were in the crowd, went home feeling very angry.

What a bunch of scum, not even one of them can fight!

Xia Shuangshan's hands were still shaking when he received the letter of severance of marriage.

Fortunately... he arrived in time, otherwise, if his concubine was accused of being disrespectful to the elders, he would definitely hate himself to death!

Lin Yuru walked up to him, gently pulled at the corner of his clothes, and called out softly, "Juan'er's father, are we really... done with Li Cuihua from now on?"

Xia Shuangshan came to his senses, looked back at his wife, then looked up at Xia Juanjuan, who had been watching quietly from the side since he arrived, and couldn't help but look away with some shame.

Since the last visit, Lin Yuru had been coming to give Xia Juanjuan wild rabbit fur every now and then. This was the first time Xia Shuangshan had seen Xia Juanjuan again.

He felt so ashamed that he couldn't face his young lady.

He whispered to Lin Yuru: "Well! It's okay! Let's go home."

Xia Juanjuan said, "It's almost noon. Have dinner here before you go back. Dad, you've never been to my house, right? You don't even know where the lady's home is. If I'm bullied by my man in the future, how can you come to my house to vent my anger for me?"
