Chapter 9: The Face is Torn
"Mom..." Jiang Mingyue wanted to go forward, but Duan Ping quickly hid in the room.
"You should leave immediately and go back to your mother's house immediately."
"Mom, I just came back yesterday, how can I go back again today?"
"Go, go back and get rid of these rashes on your body before you come back. Otherwise, don't come back."
"mother……"
Jiang Mingyue lowered her head and looked at the ground sadly. "Aren't we a family? Although smallpox can infect people, it doesn't necessarily kill people. I know some herbs for treatment. I'll go dig them now."
"Mom, please don't chase me away, okay?"
Jiang Mingyue begged bitterly.
Duan Ping couldn't listen any more.
She waved her hands repeatedly, asking Jiang Mingyue to get out.
"We in the Dong family cannot tolerate you. Get out of here immediately."
"Mom, are you asking me to divorce Brother Chengcai?"
Jiang Mingyue raised her head and widened her eyes. The red rash on her fair skin was particularly scary.
Duan Ping was shrouded in the fear of death. She nodded impatiently, "Yes, the Dong family doesn't want you anymore. You've been divorced."
Jiang Mingyue...
I didn’t expect this rash would have such an unexpected benefit.
If she had known Duan Ping was so scared, she would have done this earlier.
But it's not too late now.
"Mom...Does Brother Chengcai know about your behavior? Did you make the decision for him?"
"Of course, get out of here right now."
Duan Ping drove Jiang Mingyue away.
With tears in her eyes, Jiang Mingyue returned to the room where she slept last night and slung over her schoolbag.
Only then did he reluctantly leave the Dong family.
As soon as she walked out of the Dong family's courtyard, all her clothes and quilt were thrown out by Duan Ping.
"Go, our family has nothing to do with you from now on. No matter what you become, it is your own business and has nothing to do with our Dong family."
Duan Ping stood behind the door, shouting loudly.
Jiang Mingyue squatted down silently and picked up her things on the ground silently.
She moved slowly, and her tense back trembled uncontrollably.
Poor and helpless.
Gu Dongqing heard the sound coming out of the house and happened to see this scene.
Even though he knew that Jiang Mingyue was acting, he still couldn't help but frown.
"Auntie, where are you taking Comrade Jiang?"
Gu Dongqing suddenly spoke, which scared Duan Ping.
Duan Ping looked at Gu Dongqing with an unnatural look, as if she had done something shameful and did not dare to confront him.
"What does it have to do with you if I chase this broom away?"
Duan Ping was really feeling guilty and lacked confidence when she spoke.
Gu Dongqing frowned. What was Duan Ping doing behind his back?
Duan Ping's cursing attracted the neighbors. When they saw this scene, they understood that the new daughter-in-law of the Dong family was kicked out again.
The Dong family is really bullying people this time and again.
Some people who were not happy with the situation spoke up and told Duan Ping that since she had driven the man away, she should write a letter of divorce and put her fingerprints on it to guarantee that they would have no relationship in the future.
Otherwise, it would not be appropriate to torment a little girl again and again.
Duan Ping glanced at Jiang Mingyue's face, which was still very attractive even though it was covered with rashes. She pouted and said, "Write it if you want."
"Okay, I'll help write it."
The old man who lived next door to Gu Dongqing's house took out the pen from his chest, spread out the letter paper and began to write.
In just a few minutes, three copies of the divorce letter and the certificate of severance of relations were written.
Jiang Mingyue pressed her handprint.
Duan Ping also pressed her fingerprints.
They each kept their own share and entrusted another share to a respected elder.
"Mom, what are you doing?"
Dong Chengcai, who had just woken up from a hangover, walked in from outside and was a little confused when he saw another group of people at the door of his house.
Duan Ping hurried over, grabbed Dong Chengcai's hand, and pulled him into the house.
"Son, don't get close to that unlucky star. Be careful that she will pass on her bad luck to you."
"What, Mom? Why do you say that about your daughter-in-law?"
In front of so many people, Dong Chengcai felt a little embarrassed.
Hearing this, Jiang Mingyue raised her head and smiled slightly.
"No, Brother Chengcai, you and I are no longer husband and wife. I have no relationship with your Dong family anymore."
Her words, actions, and even the aura emanating from her body suddenly became different.
The people around were stunned, including Dong Chengcai and Duan Ping.
"Bright moon..."
Dong Chengcai was actually a little panicked.
"I wanted to be a good daughter-in-law, but you bullied me time and time again, not letting me eat and driving me out of the house. Now I just have an allergy, but your mother cursed me to die soon and even had someone write a letter to sever our relationship."
Duan Ping was furious. "You little bastard, you are lying. You clearly told me that you had smallpox."
Jiang Mingyue was unusually calm and indifferent, "I'm just saying it's possible. I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell what disease I have, right?"
"you!"
At this point, Duan Ping also knew that she had been fooled by Jiang Mingyue.
"Okay, okay, very good. I want to see who will dare to marry you if you leave the Dong family."
"Mom..."
"Follow me."
Duan Ping dragged Dong Chengcai into the house, and the courtyard door was closed with a bang.
There was not much expression on Jiang Mingyue's face.
She looked away and sincerely thanked everyone present.
Although she had only known these neighbors for a short time, they were very kind. It was also thanks to them that she was able to extricate herself from the Dong family so smoothly.
"I am grateful for your kindness. When I have the ability in the future, I will definitely repay you all."
She promised solemnly.
The neighbors all waved their hands and told Jiang Mingyue not to be polite.
They saw the blanket and some clothes at her feet, and someone offered to take her back by bicycle.
Before Jiang Mingyue could refuse, Zhang Chunying said, "Hey, Dong Qing, aren't you going to your future daughter-in-law's house? Why don't you send Xiao Jiang to the entrance to the village on the way?"
"Yes, it's Mr. Zhao's birthday today. Dong Qing, as the future son-in-law, you should go to celebrate his birthday. You can give Xiao Jiang a ride."
The neighbors were chatting with each other, and were very enthusiastic.
Jiang Mingyue waved her hands repeatedly, "No, no, I can just walk back..."
"Second sister!"
Jiang Xinyue's voice came from a distance. Jiang Mingyue raised her head and saw Jiang Xinyue walking towards her quickly with a backpack on her back.
The little girl is tall and thin, but full of energy.
When Jiang Mingyue saw her sister, the smile on her face became much brighter.
"My sister is here. I'll just go back with her. No need to trouble everyone."
Jiang Mingyue thanked her with a smile and put the things in the backpack that Jiang Xinyue brought.
"Xinyue, please help me."
"No, I'll carry you. I'm stronger than you."
Jiang Xinyue put the backpack on her back, pulled Jiang Mingyue's sleeve and walked out.
The two sisters walked some distance away before Jiang Mingyue asked Jiang Xinyue why she came to the town.
School hasn't started yet, so Jiang Xinyue should be doing farm work at home.
"Grandpa and grandma knew you brought crab meat, and they were worried about you, so they asked me to come and take a look."
"Sister, how do you feel? How much crab meat did you eat last night?"
As soon as her sister finished speaking, Jiang Mingyue heard a familiar bicycle ringtone.
She pulled Jiang Xinyue to the side.
Gu Dongqing's bicycle passed by them.
It wasn't Jiang Mingyue's illusion. When Gu Dongqing's bicycle passed by them, he deliberately lowered his eyes to look at her.
"Sister, who is that person? He looks like someone you don't want to mess with. He's scary."
