"Tsk, who cares about your shitty business!"
The busybodies spat at her back, then pulled other aunties over to chat with them.
"Seeing that her hard times are about to end, she is so foolish as to want to divorce and go back to the countryside. Is there something wrong with her brain?"
"Who said it wasn't true? A man like Ling Jiang who is honest and good at making money is hard to find even with a lantern. She complains about Ling Jiang all day long. She doesn't even look in the mirror. What kind of person is she?"
"The Ling family is about to become prosperous. I heard from the Zhou family that Ling Chuan is doing business outside and can earn one or two hundred yuan a day."
"You earn this much in a day? Oh my god, that would be several thousand a month, right?"
"I guess so. Otherwise, how could Lingchuan buy such a large courtyard house on Guoxing Road?"
"Didn't you say it was rented?"
"You're talking about an old story. The owner has already bought the house, but he just didn't make it public."
"Tsk tsk, I used to think that Ling Chuan was a dull and quiet person, but I didn't expect that he was a man who made a fortune quietly!"
An auntie pointed her nose in the direction of the Ling family and said, "Have you forgotten what Li Li did before? The two brothers finally found a way to make money, but she was so arrogant and spread the news everywhere, ruining the business of the two brothers."
"With such a troublemaker around, the Ling family can't live in peace. Her mother is not an easy person to deal with either. Fortunately, God has mercy on us and took her away..."
At the Ling family's house, because there were movers moving things in the main house, Ling Jiang had to take Ling Chuan and Yun Mo to the side room.
"Chuanzi, sister-in-law, the house is messy, let's just sit here and talk."
"It's okay, big brother. It's the same everywhere."
Seeing Yun Mo looking around the house, Ling Jiang showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, "This house used to be lived in by Chuanzi. Later, when you and your sister-in-law got married, I decorated it and made it a wedding room for you and Chuanzi. After you moved out, I moved in here to live."
Yun Mo was slightly surprised to learn that Ling Jiang and Li Li had been living separately.
Ling Jiang is 29 years old this year. As a normal man, he should have considerable physical needs. It is amazing that he can endure it while guarding his young wife.
Yun Mo couldn't help but glance at Ling Chuan beside her.
He is 24 this year.
Ling Chuan noticed her look and subconsciously asked, "Wife, what's wrong?"
Yun Mo came back to her senses and realized what she had just been thinking about, and her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.
"Lingchuan, when is your birthday?"
Ling Chuan was secretly wondering why his wife asked about his birthday for no reason, but at the same time he was happy and excited that his wife cared about him.
Ling Jiang, who was sitting opposite him, spoke for him, "Sister-in-law, Chuanzi was born in February of the lunar calendar, on the third day of February."
Yun Mo nodded and silently wrote down the date.
"Brother, my sister-in-law has to move back to Lijia Village today. I don't think she will be able to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau with you to handle the formalities in the afternoon. Tomorrow is Saturday and the Civil Affairs Bureau is closed. How about this? Sign the divorce agreement today and go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to handle the formalities next week."
Ling Jiang nodded repeatedly, "Sister-in-law, you are the only one in our family with high education, how do you think we should draft this divorce agreement?"
"Brother, everyone has their own expertise. Let's leave the drafting of the divorce agreement to the lawyers."
Ling Jiang hesitated a little, "If I hire a lawyer, the fee should be quite high, right?"
"If you just ask a lawyer to draft a divorce agreement, the cost is not expensive, probably only about 10 yuan."
Ling Jiang can still accept this price.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll listen to you."
…
Outside the window, Li Li crouched under the wall, eavesdropping on the conversation of the three people with her ears perked up.
Just as I was listening attentively, I suddenly heard the voice of the mover behind me, "Big sister, everything has been moved."
After sending the movers away, Li Li turned around and just met Yun Mo's delicate face with a half-smile on it.
Yun Mo stood in front of the window, looking down at her, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Seeing that she was discovered eavesdropping, Li Li straightened her waist and stood up, "Why do you care about me? Can't I just catch crickets?"
Yun Mo was too lazy to engage in meaningless bickering with the other party and went straight to business.
"Sister-in-law, we have discussed with my brother and decided that you should sign the divorce agreement today and handle the formalities next week. What do you think?"
When she heard that the formalities would be handled next week, Li Li became anxious and said, "No, we have to handle the formalities today."
The old woman said that if she didn't divorce him, there would be a bloody disaster within seven days.
The later the divorce is, the greater the risk will be, and she doesn't want to wait even a day longer.
Yun Mo thought about it and felt that it would be better to complete the divorce procedures as soon as possible to avoid any further complications.
Under Yun Mo's arrangement, Ling Jiang first took Li Li back to Lijia Village on a motorcycle and asked the village committee to issue a divorce certificate. She and Ling Chuan went to find a lawyer to draft the agreement first. When both parties had read the terms and agreed with them, they could sign directly.
But Li Li refused to do it again, "What about my luggage?"
"Tell the rickshaw driver the address and ask them to bring the stuff over directly."
"No one is watching. What if I lose my things?"
Yun Mo had no choice but to let Ling Chuan go back to Lijia Village with the rickshaw driver while she went to find a lawyer alone.
Only then did Li Li give up.
As time was running out, Li Li and Ling Jiang left first, followed by Ling Chuan who followed the rickshaw driver and left the Ling family. Yun Mo was the last to leave.
However, she did not go to see a lawyer immediately. Instead, she found a locksmith at the entrance of the alley and first changed the lock of the Ling family's front door. She then installed a copper lock on the main house, the wing room, and the kitchen.
After doing all this, she went out to find a lawyer.
—
Going to the village committee to get the certificate went smoothly. When I came out of the village committee office, it was not yet time for lunch.
Ling Jiang suggested going to Li's house to see his father-in-law, and Li Li did not refuse.
Li Dajun had always disagreed with her divorce. Now that she had received the certificate, she would go to the Civil Affairs Bureau in the afternoon to handle the formalities, but she was still a little unsure.
"dad."
Before the two men reached Li's house, they met Li Dajun who was returning from working on the ground.
Li Dajun seemed particularly happy to see Ling Jiang, with wrinkles forming at the corners of his eyes. "How did you find time to come back?"
Ling Jiang did not answer, but took over the burden from Li Dajun's shoulders, "Dad, let me do it."
Li Dajun didn't bother to be polite with him and asked about Ling Jiang's business with a smile.
We chatted along the way and soon arrived at Li's house.
Li Dajun invited Ling Jiang to sit inside, "Li, go cook, I'll talk to my son-in-law."
Li Li glanced at Ling Jiang and turned to go to the kitchen.
After the father-in-law and son-in-law chatted for a while, Ling Jiang said in a hoarse voice the purpose of his visit today.
"Dad, Li and I are planning to divorce."
The smile lines on Li Dajun's face, which had never disappeared since he came from Lingjiang, slowly disappeared after hearing these words.
