These days, divorce isn't common in the countryside, but it's not uncommon either.
Many educated youth divorced their rural wives and husbands when they returned to the city, and some even ran away without a trace.
When Liu Zhishan was willing to take Ning Hongye away, many people in the village praised him, saying that he was loyal and righteous.
But now, Ning Hongye has returned with her two children.
Although they didn't divorce at the time, they eventually did.
"mom?"
Ning Hongye's anxiety crumbled amidst her mother's tears. In this world, there are selfish mothers, but there are also mothers like Ning's mother who are wholeheartedly devoted to their children.
"Divorce is good, it's good that you're divorced." Ning's mother wiped away her tears and rubbed Ning Hongye's head.
She definitely supports her.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have proposed a divorce and set Liu Zhishan free when he returned home. This is the reason why.
When he was in the countryside, Liu Zhishan often shirked his responsibilities.
They did many things for Hongye.
However, if they go to other places, they will be unable to help.
It was only after Liu Zhishan knelt down and begged them, and Ning Hongye insisted on going with him, that they remained silent.
Of course, many people didn't understand at the time.
"Better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage"—what's wrong with the Ning family? The young couple is doing just fine, yet they insist on getting a divorce.
Later, Liu Zhishan took Ning Hongye and left, and they were gone for several years.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, Ning Hongye has returned, and even brought such explosive news.
"No matter what, you can stay at home from now on. Your parents are still young and can support you."
“Look at what you’re saying. As long as Hongye stays in our house, I, as her older brother, will take care of her. If she stays for the rest of her life, I will take care of her for the rest of my life,” Ning Hong hurriedly declared.
“That’s right, that’s exactly it,” Ning Hongsheng said.
"These things should be said inside." Seeing the women nearby craning their ears to listen, some even looking shocked, Ning's mother covered her forehead. She figured that within a day, news of Ning Hongye's divorce would spread throughout the entire village.
“It’s okay. As long as Mom doesn’t blame me, let them say what they want. I am indeed divorced and will continue to live in the village. They’ll find out eventually.”
It's better to be upfront and transparent than to resort to indirect questioning later.
The news of Ning Hongye's return caused a huge uproar in the village.
Ning Hong made almost no attempt to hide anything, directly laying bare the Liu family's actions.
This isn't Hongye's fault; it can be said outright, there's nothing to hide.
Everyone was terrified.
They don't like their daughters marrying far away because if something happens to them, they have no way to support them.
Immediately, many families who loved their daughters tidied up their homes and prepared to go out to visit them.
Ning's sister-in-law is right.
Their daughter is their lifeblood; they have no idea how she's being abused in someone else's home.
You should go and take a look when you have time.
Sure enough, just as the Ning family had said, many girls returned to the village one after another. When they went out, they were all plump, and even the thinnest girl weighed about 90 pounds. But now, they were all pale and thin.
There was also an older woman who didn't bring her daughter back, but she did bring back the daughter her daughter had given birth to.
Her daughter is gone.
She was born during a difficult labor.
She felt a sudden jolt of disbelief.
How could her healthy daughter have a difficult childbirth?
This woman was quite clever; she immediately went to ask her neighbors.
She pretended to be a newcomer and deliberately asked her daughter about her in-laws. What she heard made her furious.
They won't give us food.
They won't let me sleep.
Do I have to kneel down?
Is she going to become a landlady?
"My daughter is so pitiful."
I heard she has been dead for two years, but her family members have no idea.
Less than two months after her daughter died, her son-in-law remarried.
When this aunt came to visit, her ex-son-in-law was completely stunned.
The man was still quite terrified of his former mother-in-law.
Where is my granddaughter?
She didn't say much and went straight to the point.
"Mom, what are you doing? Have you eaten yet? Why don't you sit down and have some with us?" The aunt's gaze swept over the man's house.
"I don't need to eat anymore. I'm afraid I'll throw up if I eat this."
"My mother-in-law is quite imposing."
The man's mother put down her chopsticks and looked at the aunt with a sharp gaze.
She wasn't intimidated at all.
She glared back at him until the man's mother's eyes ached, at which point she finally looked away.
"Give me my granddaughter, and I'll take her with me. From now on, our two families will have nothing to do with each other. If you don't agree, I'll go to your workplace and report you, make a scene, and see what you get out of it."
"mom?"
Hearing what the aunt said, the man immediately understood that his mother-in-law probably already knew about her daughter's affair.
This whole thing stemmed from his guilty conscience.
The man nodded and pulled his daughter out of a small room.
Upon seeing the child, the aunt's eyes instantly welled up with tears.
Look at her poor granddaughter.
He was so thin and frail, with an unhealthy flush on his face.
"Fine, from today onwards, we have nothing to do with each other anymore," the aunt shouted at them. "I fucking regret marrying my daughter to you."
The man's smile faltered, and seeing her so ungrateful, a hint of anger appeared on his face.
Seeing the expression on the man's face, the aunt felt a chill in her heart and immediately left with her granddaughter.
No matter how much you say, it's useless. People like this, who are heartless and ungrateful, don't care about these things.
It's better to stop here and never contact them again.
This woman is quite quick-witted.
She wasn't willing to let them go back on their word. She couldn't convict him of her daughter's death, and if she had really caused him to lose his job back then, they might come after her granddaughter and prevent her from taking her away. Besides, and most importantly, this was his territory. Once they returned to the village, she wouldn't be afraid.
"Hongze, if you see this name in the city, remember to teach him a lesson for me."
Ning Hongze is the most successful person in the entire village.
Seeing the aunt's sad expression, Ning Hong nodded.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely help you. If you run into him, I'll teach him a lesson."
This name does sound somewhat familiar.
It seems to have appeared once in the storyline as well.
He and his wife offended Qiao Min, were beaten by Qiao Min's man, and even lost their jobs.
