"Then why don't we borrow some money from the villagers? Ten taels of silver is enough to build a house."
Fang's mother said it lightly, not worried at all about not being able to borrow the money.
"Let's talk later, mother. Give me one ounce of silver first. I'll go to town tomorrow to see if there's any work."
Fang Zhiqiang reached out for money.
Fang's mother leaned over with the silver in her arms, reluctant to part with it. "You don't need silver to find a job. I'll just give you two copper coins to make an ox cart."
"I'm so annoyed. I told you to give me one ounce of silver. Stop nagging!"
Fang Zhiqiang went straight to grab it.
Fang's mother was old and was no match for him. Fang Zhiqiang easily snatched away a tael of silver from her.
"Qiangzi, please be frugal and don't spend money recklessly, okay?"
Fang's mother did not forget to remind her.
Fang Zhiqiang didn't say anything. He walked around the room with the silver in his pocket, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.
He wanted to take this opportunity to ask Ying Xixi for a divorce.
But when he stood at the door, he felt a little scared.
I tremble when I knock on the door.
After hesitating for a long time, he knocked on the door.
Ying Xixi hadn't slept yet. The Fang family's land was so small, and she heard every word Fang Zhiqiang and his mother said.
She also knew that Fang Zhiqiang was coming to discuss divorce with her.
But when it comes to divorce, she is not the one who is anxious now.
Ying Xixi turned over, pretended not to hear the knock on the door, closed her eyes and continued to sleep.
Fang Zhiqiang didn't hear any movement in the room, so he had to retract his hand to knock on the door.
The next day, at noon, Fang Zhiqiang got up reluctantly, had his meal, and prepared to go to town.
The village's ox carts set out in the morning and return in the evening, making one trip a day.
A lazy guy like Fang Zhiqiang can't ride in an ox cart.
He had to walk to the town by himself.
It took him more than an hour to reach the town. He was almost exhausted and very hungry.
Fang Zhiqiang thought that he had a few taels of silver in his hand, so he bought a few meat buns and ate them with big mouthfuls.
After eating and drinking, he started wandering around the street.
He said he was looking for a job, but there was no way he could find a job just by wandering around the streets.
Not only did he not find any work after wandering around for a long time, he also attracted the attention of several men wandering around the street.
Several men came forward and put their hands on his shoulders, one on each side.
"Brother, I see you've been wandering around the streets for quite some time. Are you looking for a job?"
Fang Zhiqiang looked at the clothes that the people were wearing, which were made of good materials. He could tell at a glance that they were rich people, and a smile appeared on his face.
"Yes, I'm here to find some work."
"Brother, we brothers feel familiar when we see you. Since you are looking for a job, why don't you come and have a look at us?
We make money fast and it’s exciting!”
Several men began to instigate Fang Zhiqiang.
Fang Zhiqiang has no opinions of his own and usually stays at home all day. He has never seen the dangers of the outside world.
When he heard what they said, he felt like a pie in the sky had fallen on him, and he happily followed them.
At the entrance of the alley, Lu Ting, who had just sold his prey, looked at the scene thoughtfully.
In the evening, Fang Zhiqiang came back drunk and with a red face. He also brought back a roasted chicken.
When Fang's mother saw this, she knew that her son must have had good luck outside, and hurried over to ask.
"Qiangzi, have you found a job? You'll get paid today, the first day. This roast chicken is not cheap."
Fang's mother's eyes lit up as she held the roast chicken.
"Mom, I've found a job. From now on, I'll go to town every day. Oh, Mom, please give me the remaining four taels of silver. I need it. Soon, we'll be able to build a new house."
Fang Zhiqiang's words froze Fang's mother's smile for a moment.
"Why do you still want more silver? Didn't mother give you one or two taels of silver? Have you spent all the silver? Did you buy this roast chicken with that silver?!"
Seeing that Fang's mother was about to ask more questions, Fang Zhiqiang waved his hands irritably.
"Just give me the silver, and I'll give you ten taels of silver in a few days."
Fang's mother was still very hesitant. "Qiangzi, that's all the money I have left. It's my retirement money, I can't touch it anymore."
Seeing his mother so hesitant, Fang Zhiqiang simply stopped talking about this topic.
"Mom, go eat the roast chicken. I have something to tell Ying Xixi."
Fang's mother thought that her son had no intention of coveting her retirement money anymore, so she went to eat roast chicken happily.
Ying Xixi was sitting in the room, and this time she let Fang Zhiqiang in.
Fang Zhiqiang looked at Ying Xixi's face, which had become increasingly fair and radiant over the past few months, and suppressed the lust in his eyes.
"Xixi, didn't you want to divorce me before? I promise you, we can go to the town government office tomorrow to get a divorce."
Ying Xixi crossed her arms and glanced at Fang Zhiqiang.
"When did I ever say I wanted to divorce you? I'm not divorcing you."
Fang Zhiqiang choked, thinking of his unborn son, and clenched his back teeth.
"Tell me, what do you want in exchange for your divorce from me?"
Ying Xixi raised her eyebrows. "No matter what conditions I put forward, are you willing to agree to them?"
"Yes, I agree to everything! As long as the conditions you propose are something I can do."
"Okay, then I want you to write a letter of guarantee that after you divorce me, you will have nothing to do with me and you are not allowed to appear in front of me again!
Also, once you marry your next partner, you absolutely cannot divorce! If you divorce her, you will be childless for the rest of your life!
I have only these two conditions. If you agree to them, we will go to the town tomorrow to get a divorce."
