Wang Cuiju gritted her teeth: "Divorce! Divorce right now!"
Lin Jinyue didn't give Lin Youxi a friendly look either, and said directly, "Leave tomorrow morning, wherever you go, just don't stay here."
Lin Jinyue was genuinely disgusted by this person.
On the road to escape famine, everyone regarded her as their pillar of support, and she racked her brains to come up with so many solutions.
As a result, he actually harbored resentment.
His wife was out earning money, but because Wang Cuihua was busy, he didn't have time to hold village meetings, so he talked nonsense in front of his wife.
Lin Jinyue truly looked down on him.
This is no longer due to the influence of the ancient environment; it's purely a matter of poor character.
Lin Jinyue grew increasingly annoyed with him, and that very night she sent him to Shawan County to fend for himself.
After seeing them off, Lin Jinyue announced, "From now on, everyone must be present at any village meeting."
To avoid another Lin Youfu.
Lin Jinyue never expected that her casual action would inspire the women in the village to learn to read and do arithmetic.
Lin Jinyue's words seemed to serve as a wake-up call for the women in the village.
It's useless to just tell the men in the village that they should treat their wives well and respect them.
Given the prevailing circumstances, even in dynasties like Daqian where women could engage in commerce, most women were still merely appendages of men.
But let them study, learn to read and write, earn money, and not have to depend on men for a living.
People like Wang Cuiju, who couldn't live with their men, simply got a divorce.
Lin Jinyue even drove this person of extremely poor character out of the village.
The men in the village felt a sense of urgency, and most of the women were working hard, saying they would take time every day to learn to read and do arithmetic.
Some smart women, for example, figured out the key to it in no time.
Lin Jinyue has given them a new way to survive!
From now on, as long as they work hard, they will be able to earn enough money. Lin Jinyue even said that she would set up a female household for Wang Xiuju.
This would have been unthinkable in the past.
A divorced woman is shunned when she returns to her parents' home. She asks the village head and village elder for help to register her as a female household, but those old stubborn people all say that women need to be good wives and mothers.
But Yunhe Village is different.
When Lin Shucheng, the clan head, heard that his daughter wanted to register Wang Cuiju as a female household, he immediately wrote the document and waited to send it to the county magistrate the next day.
Wang Xiuju almost knelt down and kowtowed three times to Lin Jinyue.
Lin Jinyue not only had her father register Wang Xiuju as a female household, but also told the villagers, "Although you earned this money yourselves, it was my method after all. If you find anyone helping Lin Youfu in the future, don't blame me for being ruthless."
They won't kick them out; at most, they'll just stop taking them on business trips in the future.
Lin Jinyue felt disgusted at the thought of these people using Yunhe Village's welfare benefits to help someone of extremely poor character.
Seeing her so ruthless, Lin Youfu couldn't believe it: "You...you...I'm your uncle!"
"You child, how could you be so cold-blooded, even killing your own cousin!"
Lin Jinyue scoffed, "Me, trying to kill you?"
As she spoke, she took the crossbow bolt, pointed it at his head, and "whoosh," fired a cold arrow.
The arrow flew past his ear almost completely.
Lin Youfu was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
Lin Jinyue said coldly, "This is what you call ruthless extermination!"
"I'm helping your wife earn money, hoping everyone can live a better life, and this has brought me into an enemy's family?"
"They're not even as good as those peasants who signed indenture contracts!"
Upon hearing this, many people in the village began to worry.
Basically, every household had someone doing business with Lin Jinyue. Among the more familiar ones were Lin Fugui's family, Li the blacksmith's family, and Wang the carpenter's family, and there were more than one of them.
They quickly pledged their loyalty: "Er Ya, we're not that kind of people."
"We won't accept such a heartless and treacherous person!"
"Trying to claim kinship? You've got no conscience! Who's your relative?"
"Without Er Ya, would we have survived to reach Lingnan? Without Er Ya, would we have had meat to eat every day? And you keep talking badly about Er Ya. How did our Lin Family Village end up with someone like you?"
Lin Youfu felt a chill run down his spine.
He forgot that when the Lin family got ruthless, they could even tie up his own father, Lin Youliang, and drag him away.
That's why Lin Youliang got lost. If he hadn't run away, Lin Shucheng's family would definitely have shot them in the head with crossbow bolts!
That very night, Lin Fugui dumped the man on the shore.
Wang Cuiju, who was divorced and had taken her daughter with her, wept uncontrollably in her room that night.
It's not that I feel unwell.
I'm just happy.
She held her daughter and murmured, "Your father and I are divorced. From now on, I won't let that bastard hit you, and I won't find you an unreliable father. I can support you on my own from now on."
Wang Cuiju's daughter is only six years old, but she is already sensible and cried along with them.
The mother and daughter cried for a while. After they had vented their emotions, Wang Cuiju fried some crispy pork for them, putting oil into it like it was free.
In the past, her father never allowed her to cook meat for their daughter, saying that she was a little girl and there was no need for it.
These days, raising a daughter is like raising someone else's daughter-in-law.
Wang Cuiju felt sorry for her daughter and used to cook for her daughter things that she couldn't bear to eat herself.
The mother and daughter sat around the table, enjoying their meal.
Wang Cuiju didn't forget to tell her daughter, "This was all thanks to your sister Erya. Erya said that studying is very useful, so you should study more in the future to help your sister Erya."
