Chapter 149 150. Divorce
Gu Yuanjin ignored the other party's increasingly ugly expression and walked over to support Li Cuicui, "Mom, what do you think we should do next?"
Li Cuicui glanced at all the people in the yard and said, "I know that the old woman is not popular today. You people here must be cursing me in secret, but some people are so shameless that they have to stir up trouble on such a peaceful day.
The reason we came here is to put an end to this matter. Those who know me, an old lady, know that I have never treated my daughter unfairly. I have actually sent a daughter who I raised well to the He family to work like a slave.
But how did they waste Yuanfeng? I believe that as members of the tribe, you know more than we do.
We came here today with only one request, which is that I want to take my daughter back with me. I would like to ask Chief He to help write a divorce letter for me."
"Mom, I don't want to leave." Gu Yuanfeng rushed over and grabbed Li Cuicui. Fortunately, she was supported by Gu Yuanjin beside her, otherwise Li Cuicui would have been knocked to the ground by the impact.
"Shut up! Do you have any right to speak here?" Li Cuicui gritted her teeth. She really didn't know how such a stupid person could have come out of her stomach.
"I don't want a divorce," He Tuping said hastily. If he didn't speak up, his wife and child would be gone.
"You have no right to speak here," Gu Yuanhuo stood directly in front of him, his words full of threats.
"Don't you want to stay home and take care of me and your father?" Li Cuicui stared at Gu Yuanfeng, "As long as you get a divorce, I will make the decision and let you move back to our own home. You don't have to squeeze into that shabby thatched house, and you don't have to serve your mother-in-law, sister-in-law, or mother-in-law.
As for the child in your belly, if you are willing to keep it, we will find a good family willing to accept the child. If you are not willing, I will shamelessly ask your seventh brother to go to the capital to get you a medicine to ensure that you will not harm your body. "
Seeing Gu Yuanfeng's hesitation, Gu Yuanshui couldn't help but add fuel to the fire, "Sixth sister, before you got married, you were a famous beauty in our neighborhood, but look at what you have experienced over the years? When you go out, your sisters-in-law look younger and healthier than you.
Besides, isn't it just a baby in your belly? If you don't want to keep it, just keep it. As long as you work harder, can't you feed it?"
Gu Yuanfeng touched his scratchy face, then looked at Li Cuicui's oily face, and felt a pang of sourness in his heart. Not to mention that he was not as good as his sisters-in-law, he probably couldn't even compare to his mother.
How could Li Cuicui not know what her daughter was thinking at the moment? She tilted her head proudly so that Li Cuicui could see the oiliness on her face more clearly.
At the same time, I thought to myself that the ointment given by the seventh brother's wife was really effective. In previous years, there would be some cracking pain when the cold wind blew, but this year there was no sign of this at all.
"How can you be so? We married her in a formal way and paid a generous betrothal gift. Now you want to take her away with just a few words. I tell you, this is impossible."
He Zhou came over and tried to pull Gu Yuanfeng away, but was blocked by Gu Yuantu who had been silent on the side.
"Give a betrothal gift?" Li Cuicui put her hands on her hips and explained it to the audience again, "At that time, I gave three taels of silver and some homespun cloth. I didn't keep any of it at the time, I gave it all to my daughter as a dowry.
But over the years, have you seen my daughter still wearing the same clothes she wore before she became a nun? Those fabrics seem to have been worn by your eldest daughter-in-law, right?
As for the money, didn’t we settle it once on the road last time? My daughter put in much more, and you haven’t paid it back yet.
If that's the case, I still have the dowry list, and it looks like I'll have to come to you to ask for it."
"You..." He Zhou pointed at Li Cuicui, but could not utter a word of rebuttal.
The He clan leader could only stand up and speak at this time, "This matter was not done by my brother's wife, but it has not reached the stage of divorce.
Look, apart from this, let's sit down and discuss it properly.
If He Tuping does something wrong, we, the elders, will talk to him about it. Do you think we can let this go for now?"
As the patriarch, it was difficult for him, no matter what the reason was. If the He family could make the wife's family come to the house to ask for a divorce, it would be said that the He family was not in the right.
What's more, after listening for so long, everyone present had guessed He Tuliang and the others' plan. No matter which one was leaked, it would be detrimental to the entire family.
Besides, the construction of Gaoling Village this time was very high-profile, and basically every household has a brick and tile house.
With Gu Wenheng, the top scholar in the case, there to support him, the surrounding villages can only look up to him. How dare they offend him?
He glanced at He Tuping with disdain. He was in his forties, but was always controlled by his elder brother and played around with him. Instead of making friends with such a good relative, he offended him.
"We don't have the broad mind of Patriarch He," Li Cuicui insisted, "If you don't want to make a big deal out of this, I hope you can give us a result today."
Patriarch He winked at He Zhou, asking her to come over and say a few soft words, but she misunderstood and rushed forward with her hands on her hips.
"Divorce, huh? I've agreed. I want to see how she, a divorcee, will live her life in the future.
You guys take her away quickly, there will be no such daughter-in-law in our He family in the future.
I’m going to make this clear today. If the second son doesn’t want to divorce me, he and his wife will get out of here.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Patriarch He closed his eyes in despair. How come such a stupid and dumb bitch was married to his clan brother at that time?
With this in mind, Gu Yuanfeng also became desperate and stood silently behind her brothers. She knew He Tuping's choice without even looking.
"Mom, can you take me away?" He Chuncao, who had come over at some point, held Gu Yuanfeng's hand tightly, her tone full of pleading.
Gu Yuanfeng touched her head, tears dripping onto the ground, but he didn't say a word.
Li Cuicui was not in the mood to take care of these trivial matters now. She took her sons and started bargaining with the He family across the street.
The other party was not in the right in the first place. Not only did they take back most of Gu Yuanfeng's dowry, but the Gu family also had the final say on how to deal with the unborn child.
Anyway, according to what He Zhou meant, if they lose Gu Yuanfeng, their family will definitely be able to marry a more virtuous wife, and they will not have to worry about not having children. What's more, they don't know what's in her belly. If she gives birth to another girl, they will suffer a great loss.
All the He family members present shook their heads silently. It seemed that they would have to stay away from this family in the future.
