Chapter 121 Du Jia Ru Niang

When He Ying heard that Aunt Chen came to her crying, her first reaction was that something had happened to Sister Ru.

When He Ying went over, He's mother was already there, comforting the crying Chen Wenyue.

"Mom, Aunt Chen, what happened?"

When Chen Wenyue saw He Ying coming, it was like she had seen a life-saving straw.

"Ying Niang, you and Ru Niang have been good friends since you were little. Can you go and talk to my Ru Niang? She came back alone today and cried as soon as she got home and told me that she wanted a divorce. I asked her why but she didn't say anything."

"Divorce? There must be a reason for this. Wenyue, don't be anxious. My Yingniang is in poor health and it's not convenient for her to go to your house. Why don't we ask someone to invite Ru Niang to come to my house and let Yingniang ask her. Do you think this is a good idea?"

"Okay, thank you very much, Pei Xin."

He Ying originally wanted to say that it would be better for her to divorce her husband's family, but she knew that Aunt Chen might not want her daughter to divorce, and the exact reason was still unclear.

"Yingniang, please go back to your room. I'll ask someone to invite Runiang to your place later."

"good."

Ru Niang had a good relationship with He Ying and they often talked together before she got married, so when He's mother asked someone to invite her over, Ru Niang was willing to come.

"Sister Ru!" He Ying was stunned when she saw Du Yunru. She was even thinner than the last time she saw her.

"Ying Niang." Du Yunru smiled when she saw He Ying, but perhaps because she hadn't smiled for a long time, the smile seemed rather forced.

"Sister Ru, why have you lost so much weight? Have you seen a doctor?"

The last time they met was when He Ying got married and Du Yunru came to see her off.

Du Yunru laughed miserably, "What kind of doctor is this? I don't know how many bowls of medicine I have to drink all day long. Naturally, I can't eat. Isn't that why I lose weight?"

"Sister Ru, I heard from Aunt Chen that you want a divorce? Is it because of the child?"

Just thinking about this, Du Yunru's chest heaved with anger. She was so angry that she choked and coughed non-stop, her face turning red.

He Ying quickly poured her some water. It took her a long time to recover. She spoke in a hoarse voice:

"It's better if you don't know about this, so as not to dirty your ears. I really can't live a day in their house. No matter how much they gossip about me, I want a divorce. If his family doesn't agree, I will file a complaint with the government. I would rather die than go back."

As Du Yunru was talking, she burst into tears. He Ying didn't dare to ask any more questions. She could only hold her and comfort her until she recovered.

"Sister Ru, divorce is actually not a big deal. Since you have made up your mind, I support you."

"Thank you, Yingniang. I have made up my mind that I must get a divorce. At worst, I will become a nun."

"Why do you want to become a nun? There are women who run households nowadays. It would be nice for you to come home and accompany Aunt Chen."

Mr. Du was a fifth-rank official during his lifetime, so there should be no problem for the mother and daughter to make a living.

Du Yunru shook her head, "Yingniang, you don't know, although this is my home, I can't come back whenever I want.

You know, I used to envy you because your father and grandfather loved you so much. My mother also loved me, but if she had to choose between me and my brother, she would definitely choose my brother. "

Du Yunru's elder brother passed the imperial examination a few years ago and was one of the few who ranked low. He used his connections to be sent to Yanzhou to serve as a minor official, and then he married and had children there.

Her five-year term was about to end, and her brother wrote back saying that he might be transferred back to the capital. Her sister-in-law would certainly not agree to her and Li returning home. Even her mother said that all the things left by her father, except for the dowry she had given her, were for her brother.

"It doesn't matter. At least I still have my dowry. If it doesn't work out, I can just go anywhere and rent a small house to live by myself. No matter how hard life gets, it will be better than now."

Afterwards, He Ying accompanied Du Yunru to meet her mother. When her mother heard that her daughter was determined to divorce, her first reaction was to disagree.

"Runiang, why are you doing this? Just because of the child, didn't you tell me before that the Ma family was planning to take a concubine for their son-in-law? Then go ahead and take one. Even if you give birth to a child, you are still the legal wife and no one can get ahead of you."

When He Ying heard this, she looked at Du Yunru. She didn't know about taking a concubine before.

"Mom, please don't ask me anymore. I must get a divorce. Let's go home. Yingniang, thank you for today. I will come and talk to you again when I have the chance another day."

Du Yunru pulled her mother and was about to leave. She didn't want to tell this to other people.

Du's mother had no choice but to follow her daughter back, but she continued to persuade her along the way.

"Ru Niang, divorce is not as easy as you think. How are you going to live alone?"

"Mother, I don't want anything from home. I just want my dowry. I don't want to live at home and cause no trouble to you and my brother."

"That's not what mother meant. If you get divorced, can you marry someone better than the Ma family? If he wants to take a concubine, let him do it."

Du Yunru was going crazy. She didn't want to talk about the Ma family's disgusting things, nor did she want to listen to her mother anymore. After returning home, she went back to her room and closed the door.

In the afternoon, Shen Yuan also heard her sister-in-law talk about what happened before. Shen Yuan used to come to the He family often, so she had met Du Yunru several times. In her impression, Du Yunru was a round-faced, gentle sister who loved to laugh and often brought her delicious food from home.

After dinner, everyone in the Shen family, except Shen Su and He Ying and his wife, planned to go back.

He's father and mother, He's grandfather, and Shen Su and He Ying and his wife saw them off to the door. Just as they were about to get on the carriage, they heard a cry coming from the Du family next door, followed by a man running out of the Du family in a panic.

Shen Yun had been in the Dali Temple for so many years, so he naturally felt that something was wrong when he saw such a scene. He had no time to call for help, so he just went on his own and asked Shen Si and Shen Su to help stop the man.

Shen Su was young and strong, and he pressed the man directly onto the bicycle frame.

At this time, the servants of the Du family also ran out in a hurry and said they wanted to call a doctor.

There was a doctor in the He family, so He's father quickly sent someone to invite him.

He's mother brought the servants in first, only to find out that Du Yunru had actually hit her head against the wall and was now lying on the ground with blood all over her head.

When He Ying heard about this, she was about to go and see how Du Yunru was doing, but Madam Shen stopped her and said, "You are still pregnant. If you want to go, you have to wait until the doctor has bandaged her. Otherwise, you will be scared by the blood."

Shen Yun had just sent someone to report to the authorities in Jingzhao Prefecture. Before the people from Jingzhao Prefecture arrived, Shen Yun held down the struggling man and did not let him move.

"Who are you?! Let go!"

Seeing that they were at a dead end, the man started to talk dirty again, "I was wondering how that woman Du Yunru dared to divorce me. It turns out she had an adulterer! Adulterer! I'm going to report her to the police!"

“Bang!”

Shen Yuan rushed to the man, grabbed the whip from the driver's hand and started whipping him.

"I told you that you have a foul mouth!"

“Bang!”

Thinking of the disgusting things he had just "heard", Shen Yuan ignored the man who was howling like a slaughtered pig and whipped him again.
