Chapter 170 Chen Cuihua Wants to Divorce
The village chief raised his hand to suppress it, then looked at Mrs. Zhou: "Mrs. Zhou, now you understand, you didn't even ask for the facts, and you just went up and beat people, this is really wrong."
Then he looked at Qian Chunfeng and said, "You are the same to the Daquan family. Xiaolan is just a little girl, but you slander her and say dirty things about her. Why don't you apologize quickly?"
Qian Chunfeng was unmoved. It was impossible for her, an adult, to apologize to a child.
She said, "Village Chief, I just said one thing to her. Look, Mrs. Zhao beat me up. If she wants me to apologize, she has to compensate me for the injury."
Zhao Suying pouted: "If you didn't have that dog mouth that spewed shit, would I hit you? I feel like I'm dirty with my hands when I hit you. You twisted my granddaughter's arm and you still have dirty words in your mouth. You deserve to be beaten."
Li Wanyue said: "The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhou family slandered my daughter. Her reputation was almost ruined by you. You can either pay compensation or report to the police. It's your choice."
When Qian Chunfeng and Zhou Pozi heard this, they were startled.
How could they possibly go to see the official? Not to mention that they were not in the right, even if they were in the right, the county magistrate was a good friend of the Li family. If he found out, how could their family end up in trouble?
Seeing this, Old Man Zhou smiled and tried to smooth things over: "It's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. The incident was caused by our three grandchildren, and the people injured were our own. I will take them back and teach them a lesson. As for Xiaolan, I will ask your aunt to apologize to you. Let's just leave it at that."
Li Dachuan said coldly: "If you don't pay, I will report you to the police."
Old Zhou looked at Li Youshan and said, "Dashan, sister-in-law, you know my family's situation. I really can't give much."
Li Dachuan glanced at Li Wanyue and saw Li Wanyue making a gesture. He said, "Uncle Zhou, if it wasn't for the Zhou's sister-in-law throwing dirty water on my daughter, would we have beaten her and asked her to pay compensation? If my daughter's reputation is ruined, her life will be ruined.
Shouldn't we ask her to apologize and compensate? If she wants to be blamed, she should blame herself. We don't ask for much, 100 coins for each child, 300 coins in total, not much, right?"
Once again, it was pointed out that it was the Zhou family's fault, so that people would not think that they were bullying others.
The Zhou family can't afford to give more, so if they ask for less, the villagers will be more on their side.
Others echoed him, saying that what he said was right. A girl's reputation was more important than anything else, and the compensation she asked for was not much.
Village Chief Li also said: "Brother Zhou, the Golden Ox and the Wooden Ox can get married in two years. If it gets out, it will be difficult to get married. Also, after making such a fuss with the Li family, if they don't let you do any work in the future, don't say anything."
Old man Zhou's face froze. Yes, even if there is no job now, what if we can hire someone to do something else in the future?
Thinking of this, Old Man Zhou scolded Mrs. Zhou and Qian Chunfeng.
After scolding, he apologized to the Li family and said that they would discipline them well.
At the same time, he promised to give them three hundred coins as compensation.
The Li family didn't say anything. They went back anyway, and for the sake of Zhou Laoer and his wife, they didn't embarrass them anymore.
At this time, Zhou Chen recovered and endured the pain in her body. She looked at her son who was covered in wounds and her daughter who had tears on her face. She looked at Zhou Erniu and said, "Zhou Erniu, I want to divide the family. Do you agree?"
Zhou Erniu was very surprised. All the problems had been resolved, so what about dividing the family?
"Cuihua, what nonsense are you talking about? Dad and mom are both here, how can we divide the family?"
Zhou Chen smiled miserably: "You have always known that your parents favor the eldest family, and I never said anything. They are also grandsons, and they favor the golden cow and the silver cow, and I don't say anything either.
But he does this every time, and this time he didn't even ask any questions and beat the wooden ox like this. Look at the wound, how severe did the blow have to be?
Let's make it clear in front of everyone today. If you are willing to separate, I will still live with you. If you don't want to separate, we will divorce. I would rather raise two children by myself than let them continue to stay in that family and suffer."
Mother Zhou jumped up, pointed at Zhou Chen's nose and cursed: "You are a troublemaker, you are going to rebel against the heaven. My family is unlucky to marry a troublemaker like you. You deliberately instigated our son to be alienated from us. You bitch, I will let Erquan divorce you and sell your two children. I let you instigate this."
As he said this, he was about to slap him, but was stopped by Old Man Zhou.
It's a shame to cause more trouble at this time.
If they continue to make trouble, no family would marry their daughter to their grandson.
Moreover, the second son's wife is close to the Li family. Erquan has been helping the Li family build a house for such a long time and has earned almost two taels of silver.
The second daughter-in-law is now helping them peel the fruit seeds, and she can earn ten cents in two hours. If they really fall out, they can forget about getting any benefits from the Li family.
Zhou Erquan looked at Zhou Chen's eyes with tears in her eyes and a furrowed brow. He knew that what his wife said was true.
But his parents gave birth to him and raised him, so he has to be filial to them.
When he was in a dilemma, a villager said, "Erquan, your wife is right. It's okay to punish the elder, but it's not right to use such a heavy hand on your grandson. You can still be filial to your parents if you separate the family, and there will be fewer conflicts."
"Yes, we are all in the same village, but we live separately. You can still help your parents with work, and the children don't have to suffer. How great is that."
Everyone was talking at once, and Zhou Erquan's hair was almost tied into a mess. At this time, Zhou Muniu's eyes rolled back and he fainted.
Zhou Chen held him in her arms, enduring the pain, and shouted, "Muniu, Muniu, I'll take you to see a doctor."
As she said this, she tried to pick up the child, but she couldn't.
Zhou Erquan went forward to hug her, and she collapsed and shouted, "Go away, Zhou Erquan, I want to divorce you, I don't want to live like this anymore."
Village chief Li quickly asked someone to help carry the child to Doctor Zhang's house. Fortunately, the child just fainted from the pain and had no broken bones.
Zhou Erquan took the child home, and Zhou Chen said to Zhao Suying, "Aunt, I'm sorry for you."
Zhao Suying patted her hands and whispered, "Don't think too much. I will save the wages for peeling the seeds for you. If you really want to divorce, you must have money in your hand.
It was agreed before that Mu Niu would work for our family, and we would not pay him outside, but we agreed that he would be paid 20 coins a day. Now his salary is more than 1 tael of silver. Whenever you want it, just come to our house and get it."
"Thank you, Auntie. I'm glad you helped me."
"You're welcome. Go home and take care of the wooden ox first."
Mrs. Zhou Chen took Zhou Xiaomiao and quickly followed Zhou Erquan home.
It would be best if the family could be divided, but divorce is also fine. If you don't want to divide the family and you don't agree to divorce, from now on, she will do whatever the eldest wife does.
She made up her mind that she would take good care of her child and would never be foolish enough to just work and let her child suffer.
The other villagers surrounded Zhao Suying and Li Youshan, and said with a smile: "Dashan, can you let my grandson go to your house to study? I don't ask him to learn very well, just to recognize a few words and write his name."
"Yes, yes. Can my family also learn from me? We won't learn in vain. You can eat whatever vegetables grow in my garden. How about that?"
"My son wants to learn, too. I can take care of your family's firewood."
…
Everyone was talking at once, and Li Youshan and Zhao Suying didn't know what to do. Village Chief Li shouted, "Be quiet."
Everyone fell silent.
Village Chief Li said, "How about this, I will discuss it with the Dashan family on your behalf, and I will notify you after the discussion. Now go back."
Everyone dispersed.
