Chapter 5 Trash Man, Who Wants Him?
Li Shiyue was naturally pleased that her mother could so firmly state that she wanted a divorce; she didn't want to have to flee with such a scumbag father in the future.
With such a scumbag father around, she's afraid she'll be pushed out by him to take the fall in the future.
While pondering how to complete the beginner's task, Li Shiyue grabbed the stone and pulled her mother. Their eyes met, and Li Shiyue saw the determination in her mother's eyes.
Li Shiyue is very happy!
Fortunately, Li's mother was not the kind of modern woman who would endure a divorce for the sake of her child. After making a decision, Li Shiyue nodded to her mother and gestured with her eyes for her to look towards the crowd of onlookers.
When Li's mother turned around, she saw that the village chief and the clan elders of Li Family Village were also standing outside.
Li's mother turned around and stood still. Just as she was about to say something more, Li Shiyue grabbed her hand.
Seeing the questioning look in her mother's eyes, Li Shiyue winked mischievously at her mother, and then the next second she let go of the stone and pinched the tender flesh on her waist.
As Shi Tou stared blankly at his hand that his sister had flung away, and under the astonished gaze of Li's mother, and before anyone could react, Li Shi Yue let out a howl, took two steps forward, and knelt down before her scumbag father who was still kneeling.
"Father, my dear father, have you abandoned Mother?"
While wailing and faking tears, Li Shiyue was thinking about how to continue her performance. In just a few breaths, she kowtowed twice to her scumbag father, her head hitting the ground repeatedly.
"Father, my dear father, since you despise my simple-minded brother, and despise me for being a woman, and now that you have a child, then let my brother and I go with Mother."
If we can't survive on this journey of fleeing famine, at least the three of us can die together, and keep each other company on the road to the underworld.
Father, my dear father, let the three of us die together!
"Waaah... Father, my dear father, waaah... Let the three of us die together!"
Faced with Li Shiyue's actions, the first person to react was actually Li Wangming, her uncle!
However, this makes sense. In the original owner's memories, her uncle Li Wangming, who was only five years younger than Li Shiyue, was the person she was closest to in the Li family.
Because Shitou was a simple-minded child from a young age, Li's mother inevitably devoted a lot of energy, time and affection to him. As a result, Li Shiyue mostly followed her uncle when she was young, and the two had the best relationship.
However, it is precisely because of Li's mother's efforts that Shitou was able to be raised well. Now Shitou can take care of himself and is well-behaved enough to understand what his family members are saying.
Therefore, although Li Shiyue and Li Wangming are uncle and nephew, they are actually more like siblings.
As for Shi Tou, Li Shiyue and Li Wangming were like older siblings.
Seeing that his grandmother had steadied herself with her cane, Li Wangming ran over to Li Shiyue, who was kneeling nearby.
When they arrived, Li Wangming was heartbroken to see Li Shiyue so emotionally banging her head on the ground.
"Why did it come to this? Why did it come to this?"
Li Wangming reached out to pull Li Shiyue, "My elder brother has gone mad, that's why he did something wrong."
How did things come to the point where I have to divorce my sister-in-law?
October, get up, get up so I can see, your head is all bruised from kowtowing!
"You silly child, where did you really put that much effort into it?"
Li Shiyue used all her strength, but in the end, she couldn't get her uncle Li Wangming, who had been studying since childhood and had no strength, up from the ground.
"His second uncle, just listen to what Shiyue said, how can Shiyue's father and I live together anymore?"
On this journey of fleeing famine, he never forgot to visit other people's homes. He even gave his donkey to others to use. His mother-in-law was so tired that she had no ride and had to use a cane to get around at her age.
"We haven't even left Henan yet, and we're already divorced. If anything happens to us on this journey of fleeing famine, just like October said, the three of us can die together, together on the road to the underworld, so we won't be alone on the way."
After saying this, Li's mother took Shitou's hand and walked to Li Shiyue's side, reaching out her hand to Li Shiyue. With Li's mother's hand, the person that Li Wangming couldn't lift earlier was easily lifted up.
At this moment, none of the people from Lijia Village who were standing around watching the commotion could believe that things had progressed to this point.
You know, in all the surrounding villages, for so many years, we've never heard of any couple getting divorced.
For example, what the glib-tongued third brother of the dog was thinking about now was: "Why did Sister Wangchun acknowledge Qin Tao and the child in her belly?"
Because Sister Wangchun gave birth to a mentally challenged son and a baby girl!
All these years have passed, and we haven't had another child, not even a healthy son for Wangguang. Shouldn't we just accept it?
Not only did Dog Lao San think this way, but Grandma Li probably thought the same way.
As for what Grandma Li said earlier about wanting to beat Li's father to death, just listen to it and forget about it. Judging from Grandma Li's demeanor, she doesn't really look like she would beat her own son to death.
But at this moment, the behavior of Li's mother and Li Shiyue showed that they really wanted to sever ties with Li's father and get a divorce, even on the road of fleeing famine. Yes, even on the road of fleeing famine, Li's mother still wanted a divorce!
It was a summer night, and even the occasional breeze was hot.
The drama unfolded one after another, keeping the people of Li Village thoroughly entertained. Some thought Li's mother was making a mountain out of a molehill, while others wholeheartedly agreed with her actions.
"Stone's mother is really something, she can't even keep an eye on her own man!"
"Since things have come to this, we might as well accept it. Who knows, Qin Tao might really be carrying a son."
"Pah! You're the idiot!"
Stone Mother did the right thing!
Didn't you hear me?
The other donkey cart in the house has been used by someone else, and even your own mother doesn't care about it. You still want a man who doesn't even care about his own family for the sake of his lover? What's the use of keeping him?
What are we, a hundred or so people, doing?
We're fleeing famine!
We are so grateful to our nephew Shiyang for packing our belongings in advance so that the whole clan could escape the famine together.
Look at this, we've been out for half a month now, and we're only lucky that we haven't run into any refugees on the side paths we've been taking.
As Stone's mother just said, we haven't even left Henan Road yet.
If you encounter refugees on the road ahead, don't you expect your husband to protect you?
But what about now?
Zhou Lanhua grinned, pointing at Qin Tao who was still in Li's father's arms, "Stone Mother is right!"
"From now on, if anything bad happens, it would be better if the three of us, mother and children, died together on the road to the underworld. At least we'd have each other in the afterlife, and the whole family would be together."
Zhou Lanhua's words left the woman speechless and rolling her eyes, but they also reached everyone's ears.
Even Grandma Li, who was standing with a wooden cane, was satisfied. She was old and her family already had two donkeys, one of which pulled their belongings and the other was left over. Logically, there should have been a place for her to sit.
But the remaining donkey was taken away by Li's father and given to Qin Tao's family to use. Just as Li's mother said, Li's father didn't even care about his own mother for the sake of his lover!
"Chunniang? Chunniang?"
Who's bullying my Chunniang?
Who dares to bully my Chunniang?
Chunniang, don't be afraid!
My sister-in-law is here!
I'd like to see who dares to do it!
Li Shiyue turned around and looked in the direction of the voices. She saw two girls, one tall and one short, supporting a tall and strong woman on either side as they walked from behind the village chief and the clan elder.
