Chapter 31 Chapter 31 Divorce Certificate
When Yun Lang knocked on the door, Jiang Qiuyue opened the door with a hatchet in her hand. She swung at them a few times, scaring Yun Hai so much that he fell backwards.
Lin Zhengrong stood beside her, and the two of them blocked the door on the left and right.
"I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be the grandson of the turtle. Here comes the little beast. Is it not enough that your mother died? You want to send all of you in there too?"
Jiang Qiuyue hated hypocritical men like Yun Lang the most. With Lin Zhengrong around, she was not afraid of Yun Lang and his three companions attacking her. Lin Zhengrong was more than capable of beating the three of them.
Yun Lang looked at Lin Zhengrong, who was half a head taller than him, and held back from cursing, "Let me ask you, where is your second sister?"
"Second sister? She's your wife. You don't know where she went, so how should I know?" Jiang Qiuyue uttered a huff, and then became angry. "That's right. If you beat your wife, no one would want to live with you."
As she said this, she put away her smile and said fiercely, "You are not welcome in my house. My second sister is not in my house either. If you want to find someone, go find someone else somewhere else. If any of you dare to force your way in, I will send you to meet Yu Qingqing and Jiang Yuanzong, the adulterous couple!"
"Who are you talking about?" Yunshan clenched his fists and rushed forward to question, "If you dare to say another word, do you believe I will smash your house?"
"Just say it, who's afraid of who?"
Jiang Qiuyue shouted loudly, "Yu Qingqing and Jiang Yuanzong are a pair of bastards who gave birth to a bastard like you. Come and see, Yun Lang beat his wife and drove her away!"
During this time, the young and strong people are working in the fields, leaving only a few elderly people and children.
Aunt Niu from next door was the first to run out, "Who beat his wife? It was these guys, right? They are really inhuman. Qiuyue, I heard that your second sister had two miscarriages. Could it be that these beasts were to blame?"
"I guess it's probably true. After all, you can't judge a person by his appearance." Jiang Qiuyue deliberately dragged out the last word. It would have a bad impact on Jiang Xiahe if the matter of the child were to be made public, so it was just right to push it onto Yun Lang.
After hearing Jiang Qiuyue's words, Auntie Niu scolded even more rudely, "How could you have the heart to do that? Your wife was pregnant with your child, and you beat her. No wonder she ran away. Who would dare to marry their daughter to a family like yours?"
Yun Lang was scolded in the face, but he felt wronged about the child. It was Jiang Xiahe's own poor health that caused her to lose the child.
Seeing that Jiang Qiuyue refused to give an inch, he knew that he couldn't enter the yard, but he felt that Jiang Xiahe was very likely hiding in Jiang Qiuyue's house, so he took his two younger brothers away.
"Yunhai, you stay here and hold your sister-in-law back when you see her." Yunlang gave the instructions and looked around. "Yunshan and I will go look around. If she's not at Jiang Qiuyue's house, she should be nearby. She can't run away!"
Thinking of the villagers' current evaluation of him, Yun Lang just wanted to capture Jiang Xiahe and make her suffer for the rest of her life.
After Yunlang left, Jiang Qiuyue sent the two children to Aunt Niu's house, and she and Lin Zhengrong left the house through the backyard.
As a result, before the man had gone far, Jiang Qiuyue saw Zheng Wenbin who had come over, and hurriedly asked Lin Zhengrong to drag the man to the side of the road to avoid being discovered by Yunhai.
"Shut up!" Jiang Qiuyue glared at Zheng Wenbin, "What are you doing here?"
"I... I came to look for your second sister. I heard that she ran away. Did she come to look for you?" Zheng Wenbin said as he took money out of his pocket. "I have money. I can give it all to her!"
There were only a few dimes here and there, and Zheng Wenbin's hands were shaking as he spoke.
"My second sister doesn't need your money. Go home now and don't come to see my second sister recently. I will tell her that you have been here." Jiang Qiuyue didn't have a good impression of Zheng Wenbin. Maybe she was not a person of this era, so when she encountered bullying, her first reaction was to resist.
After the incident that year, Zheng Wenbin was locked up at home by the Zheng family. Jiang Qiuyue had no idea what happened.
Zheng Wenbin refused to leave and begged, "Qiuyue, I want to help her."
"You can help me, but you have to help me later." Jiang Qiuyue took a deep breath, "My second sister is getting a divorce from Yunlang now. If someone sees you next to her, they will think she is getting a divorce because of you. Then you can't explain it clearly, and someone reports you two for having an affair. What should we do?"
"Zheng Wenbin, you are not a strong person at heart, otherwise you would have succeeded in your rebellion. I can help my second sister with this matter, and I don't want any accidents to happen. My second sister should be happy that you are willing to help her, but she still has to live after the divorce, and you can't affect her reputation."
He had endured it for several years, but now he wanted to see Jiang Xiahe so much. However, Jiang Qiuyue was not moved by his love.
She is not the person involved, nor is she a love-minded person who puts love above all else. She cannot empathize with Zheng Wenbin and just wants things to have the best ending.
Seeing Zheng Wenbin frowning and not saying anything, Jiang Qiuyue emphasized, "Did you hear what I said? Wait until my second sister gets divorced and officially becomes single again, then you can go find her. This way it won't affect her, understand?"
"Okay, I... I understand." Zheng Wenbin took two steps back, then ran back and stuffed the money into Jiang Qiuyue's pocket. He was afraid that Jiang Qiuyue would not accept it and ran away.
Looking at Zheng Wenbin's back, Jiang Qiuyue shook her head, "Forget it, this guy isn't that bad. Let's go, don't be too late."
"Don't worry, Qiu Jie and the others are already nearby, my second sister will be fine." Lin Zhengrong said.
"I want to see Yun Lang being arrested with my own eyes, so that I can feel better." Jiang Qiuyue pulled Lin Zhengrong into the mountains.
Lin Zhengrong looked down at his arm which was grabbed by Jiang Qiuyue, his thin lips curled up slightly. When they arrived near the cave, they just happened to see the Yunlang brothers go in.
The cave was not deep, only about four or five meters, so Yun Lang saw Jiang Xiahe at first sight.
Jiang Xiahe was holding a hatchet in her hand, which was given to her by Jiang Qiuyue for self-defense. She looked at Yun Lang in panic, "Don't come over here. If anyone of you comes over here, I'll chop him to death!"
"You bitch, I told you you had nowhere to go, and it turns out Jiang Qiuyue hid you." Yun Lang walked towards Jiang Xiahe, but Jiang Xiahe really swung a hatchet at him. If he hadn't dodged quickly, he would have been cut on the chest.
Looking at the torn clothes, Yun Lang was furious, "Have you made enough trouble? If you don't want to live, just kill yourself with a knife!"
"Why? If anyone has to die, you should die first!" Jiang Xiahe looked at the two people warily, "You are the one who deserves to die!"
"Yes, I deserve to die, but I am still alive and well. Jiang Xiahe, what can you do to me?"
Yun Lang was not worried about this. Now that he had found someone, he was not in a hurry. "You can't escape without a letter of introduction. Even if you have one, who can you go to? Even your own mother won't help you. Can your sisters support you for the rest of your life?"
Yunshan was upset. He was afraid that Jiang Xiahe might hurt him accidentally, so he simply walked to the entrance of the cave and let his second brother solve it himself.
Now he felt a tightness in his chest when he thought about everyone calling him a bastard, "Damn it!"
Yun Lang in the cave did not walk towards Jiang Xiahe. He looked at Jiang Xiahe with sarcasm, "You are a worthless person. You don't have the brains of your elder sister, nor the good luck of Jiang Qiuyue. You are destined to be tied to a loser like me for the rest of your life. Jiang Xiahe, if you have the ability, just keep holding the hatchet. It will be useless even if Jiang Qiuyue and the others come. You are my wife, and it is only natural for me to take you home. Even if the police come, they have to talk about reason!"
He acted as if he was determined to fight to the end, and in his heart he was already thinking about how he would torture Jiang Xiahe after she returned.
"Yunlang, have you always wanted me to give birth to a child?" Jiang Xiahe suddenly spoke.
"What do you want to say?" Yun Lang asked with frown.
"Every time I got pregnant, I deliberately took a cold bath to abort the pregnancy. The first time, I was in so much pain that I almost died, but I didn't want to give birth to your child."
Jiang Xiahe looked at Yunlang with vicious eyes. She regretted not killing Yunlang on the wedding night, otherwise she wouldn't have to suffer all this. "Do you know how much I hate you? When I heard you and Yunchuan say that you deliberately got me drunk and raped me when I was not sober, I made up my mind at that moment that I would never give birth to your child in this life!"
Yun Lang wanted to have a child, but he thought it was all an accident. "You...you are looking for death!"
He raised his hand to slap her, but was blocked by the hatchet in Jiang Xiahe's hand. "Why? That's your child too. The child is innocent. Why are you doing this?"
"That's not my child! Even if I give birth to it, I will strangle him to death!" Jiang Xiahe knew that she had angered Yun Lang. "Every time you show off to Yun Chuan that you are smart and found a way to marry me for free, I hate you even more. Yun Lang, a beast like you doesn't deserve to have a child."
"Why, you thought I didn't hear you? Or are you afraid to admit it now?"
"Yes, I got you drunk and raped you on purpose, and asked Yunshan to bring everyone in the village here. So what if I did it?"
There was no one else around, so Yun Lang had nothing to fear from admitting, "Jiang Yuanzong took your eldest sister's betrothal gift, and after tasting the benefits, he forgot that we brothers were still single. He slept with my mother for so many years, so he should at least give me some benefits, right?"
"Jiang Xiahe, do you think you are a good person? You are just a piece of trash now, a slut that I have played with. Even if you divorce me, do you think Zheng Wenbin will still want you?"
Yun Lang was so angry that he no longer cared about the hatchet in Jiang Xiahe's hand and approached her step by step. "Come on, kill me if you can. If you can't kill me, I'll kill you first!"
"stop!"
Qiu Jie and his colleagues who were lying in ambush in the cave rushed out and pinned Yun Lang to the ground before he could react. They had already heard Yun Lang admit to the crime, so they could now take Yun Lang to the police station.
Yunshan wanted to run, but was caught by Lin Zhengrong, "Let me go, it's none of my business!"
"It's none of your business?" Jiang Qiuyue slapped Yunshan on her behalf. "Your whole family are accomplices, and you still have the nerve to say it's none of your business?"
"Dazhu, tie him up. And Yunhai, don't let him get away!"
Just by listening to the conversation between her second sister and Yun Lang, Jiang Qiuyue wanted to put all the Yun brothers to death.
Yun Lang was being held down tightly. When he heard that Qiu Jie was a policeman, he realized that he was being set up. He yelled that he was talking nonsense, "I was just too angry and I was drunk. I didn't know!"
"Be honest. You'll know whether you're talking nonsense or not when you get to the police station." Qiu Jie handcuffed Yun Lang.
Jiang Qiuyue went over and hugged Jiang Xiahe, "Okay, okay, stop holding the hatchet. No one will bully you anymore. Let's go to the police station together. Yunlang is dead. It's useless for him to deny it. Yunshan and Yunhai are afraid of death and will give him away."
Jiang Xiahe lay on Jiang Qiuyue's shoulder and cried. The emotions that had been suppressed for many years burst out at this moment. She had suffered too many grievances and difficulties.
After Jiang Qiuyue had comforted Jiang Xiahe, the two came out of the mountain and Yunhai was also captured.
Jiang Xiahe was going to take notes, and Jiang Qiuyue followed along. She asked Lin Zhengrong to look after the house, "My second sister and I are both women, and there are some things that my second sister cannot tell you. You can take the two children and eat something. We will be back tomorrow."
The group got on the tractor. At first Yunlang wanted to remind his two younger brothers not to admit it, but Jiang Qiuyue saw through his thoughts at a glance. Yunlang's clothes happened to be torn, so she tore them off and stuffed them into Yunlang's mouth.
"Jiang...wuwu..." Yun Lang glared at Jiang Qiuyue fiercely.
"Jiang what Jiang? You're like this now, and you still want to threaten me?" If Qiu Jie and the others were not there, Jiang Qiuyue would have punched him a few times.
Qiu Jie saw that Jiang Qiuyue was so fierce, completely different from the last time they met, but he could understand in his heart that no sister would be able to remain calm if encountering such a thing.
After arriving at the police station, the three brothers of the Yun family were interrogated separately. Yun Lang refused to admit it, but Yun Hai was the first to give in. "It was... my second brother and my mother who came up with the idea. My second brother said that Jiang Yuanzong didn't value the daughter of the family. When the matter was settled, with my mother's persuasion, Jiang Yuanzong would definitely not ask for a dowry. My mother knew that the daughters of the Jiang family were easy to control and that she could ask for no dowry, so she agreed immediately and took a few people to get Jiang Xiahe drunk."
"Wuwu, I really didn't participate, I just helped to keep watch, I didn't do anything else. Police brother, this was all my second brother's idea, he also asked me to do this, and find a chance to sleep with Jiang Qiuyue in the future, but I didn't listen to him, I'm not like him!"
It’s not that Yunhai didn’t listen to Yunlang, but after the incident between Jiang Xiahe and Yunlang, Jiang Yuanzong became cunning and didn’t let him get close to Jiang Qiuyue alone, so he never had the chance.
In another interrogation room, Yunshan said the same thing as Yunhai, "It was all planned by my second brother. He asked my third brother to keep watch while I went to call the captain and the others. It was Jiang Chuntao's wedding that day, so drinking was normal. My second brother said it was just an accident and no one would suspect anything. My second brother also said that my third brother and I could do the same thing in the future, as the Jiang family's daughters are all beautiful and hardworking."
"I'm telling the truth. I was forced to do it. Otherwise, my eldest brother and the others would have agreed. If I didn't listen to my second brother's arrangement, they would definitely target me. Police brother, I won't be sent to labor reform for this, right?"
At 6pm, after Qiu Jie finished questioning, he came to Jiang Qiuyue and her sister, "Yunshan and Yunhai both admitted that Yunlang was the mastermind. As long as you, Xiahe, insist on not forgiving him, Yunlang will most likely be shot. As for Yunshan and Yunhai, as accomplices, they will definitely be sent to labor reform."
"That Yunchuan is also an accomplice. He won't have a good ending. You can rest assured that they won't cause trouble for Xia He again."
"Thank you so much, Brother Qiu." Jiang Qiuyue said gratefully, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll treat you to dinner at the state-owned hotel. You've been busy all day, thank you so much."
Jiang Xiahe was still thinking about what Qiu Jie said, and it took a long time before she shed tears.
Qiu Jie said you're welcome. "Serving the people is what we police officers should do. It's getting dark, it's not safe for you to go back, why don't you stay at my house tonight?"
Jiang Qiuyue had been to Qiu Jie's house, and there were only two rooms. She didn't feel comfortable bothering Qiu Jie again. "I asked the captain for a letter of introduction and just went to the guesthouse to get a room. I still have to thank you for severely punishing a bastard like Yun Lang."
After a few more words, Jiang Qiuyue took Jiang Xiahe to a state-owned hotel, and he ordered two bowls of shredded pork noodles.
"Eat, second sister." Jiang Qiuyue saw that Jiang Xiahe didn't move her chopsticks.
"Qiuyue, I always feel it's unreal." Jiang Xiahe's hand holding the chopsticks was still trembling, "Will Yunlang really be shot?"
"Brother Qiu said it's very likely. Even if he wasn't shot, he would never get out in his lifetime." Jiang Qiuyue was quite satisfied with the result.
Jiang Xiahe patted her face and said, "I always feel like this is something that could only happen in a dream."
"It's not a dream, this is reality. Yun Lang has received his retribution, and you will have a new beginning, so eat first. Once you are full, tomorrow will be a new day." Jiang Qiuyue said, taking another bite of noodles, "Such delicious shredded pork noodles, if you don't eat it now, it will get cold."
Jiang Xiahe looked down at the noodles in the bowl and tears fell. "Qiuyue, thank you, thank you so much. Without you, I really don't know what I would do. I might have died together with Yunlang."
"Don't say such stupid things. It's not worth dying with a man like Yun Lang. You should let him get his comeuppance, and then you can live a better life. Think about it, you managed to get through the bad times before, and every day from now on will be a good day, so you should be happy."
Jiang Qiuyue said soothingly, "Tomorrow I will go back to Captain Cai to get a certificate. No matter what happens to Yunlang, you should get a divorce first. After the divorce, you will have nothing to do with Yunlang."
Thinking of being able to get rid of Yun Lang, Jiang Xiahe had hope for life, "Okay, I'll listen to you and get a divorce tomorrow!"
The next morning, Jiang Qiuyue went to Jiangjia Village to ask Cai Guoqiang for a certificate. When he heard that Jiang Xiahe wanted a divorce, Cai Guoqiang's first question was, "Why do you want a divorce? Can't you just get back together?"
"Captain Cai, you must not know that Yun Lang has been arrested and taken to the police station, and will be shot soon. Of course you want a divorce with a man like him. Draw a clear line between you and him quickly, or else you will be implicated with him?"
Jiang Qiuyue thought that people nowadays were really tolerant and were still thinking about their reconciliation.
Upon hearing that Yun Lang was going to be shot, Cai Guo-Qiang was even more surprised and asked what was going on.
Jiang Qiuyue didn't want to say more. If she said too much, Jiang Xiahe would be gossiped about. "You'll know later. Please help me get a certificate. I'm in a hurry to go to the city to handle the formalities."
"Hey, how could this happen?" Cai Guoqiang sighed and gave Jiang Qiuyue a certificate, "But Xia He is indeed not easy. Who would have thought that Yun Lang is such a complicated person. But she is divorced and has no man to live with. What should she do in the future?"
"My second sister works hard. She has hands and feet, so she can live a better life without a man. There's no need to worry about her." Jiang Qiuyue took the certificate from Cai Guoqiang and when she walked out of the village committee, she met Fang Zhaodi who came after hearing the news.
Fang Zhaodi didn't know the details yet, she only knew that Jiang Xiahe had been away for a few days. Looking at Jiang Qiuyue, Fang Zhaodi immediately asked, "They said Xiahe wanted to divorce Yunlang, is that true?"
"Yeah." Jiang Qiuyue didn't have time to waste with Fang Zhaodi and continued walking out of the village.
"Has she lost her mind? Where will she live after the divorce? Isn't she afraid of being laughed at?" Fang Zhaodi chased Jiang Qiuyue all the way, "Tell her that I don't agree with her divorce, I absolutely don't agree! If she dares to divorce, die outside, I won't let her enter the Jiang family!"
Divorce is such a shameful thing. If it gets out, people will gossip about it. Now people in the village have been gossiping about the Jiang family. Fang Zhaodi can't afford to lose face.
"Fang Zhaodi, I just don't understand. Yunlang treated my second sister like this, but you still don't let her get a divorce. Are you still our biological mother?"
Jiang Qiuyue stopped and looked at Fang Zhaodi. "When your second sister was crying with you, didn't you feel sorry for her? When your second sister was tied up by Yun Lang, didn't you want to help her?"
"I...I did that for her own good." Fang Zhaodi avoided her gaze. "She was disobedient herself. If she and Yunlang had lived a good life, she wouldn't have been imprisoned."
Jiang Qiuyue was so angry that she was speechless. She felt that if she said one more word to Fang Zhaodi, she would immediately develop nodules.
"Qiuyue, don't go. Give me the certificate. They can't get divorced!" Seeing Jiang Qiuyue leave, Fang Zhaodi chased after her again, trying to snatch the certificate.
Jiang Qiuyue pushed Fang Zhaodi away, "Don't touch me! Yunlang is about to be shot. If you don't get a divorce, will you die with him? You don't have to worry about your second sister causing you trouble in the future. It's better not to have a mother like you. Get out of here quickly. I want to beat you up if I look at you for even a second!"
