"Sister, everyone in the village knows what Zhou Ergou is, and no one believes what he says. Besides, everyone has their ups and downs in life, but we have to think like this: we don't live for anyone but ourselves.
As for those gossipers in the village, why bother with them? No matter what they say, don't take it seriously. Just treat it as listening to their farts. It won't hurt you, so don't bother with them.
As she spoke, Tian Yuzhu placed the hemp rope she had snatched at the corner of the kang.
She knew that a real hemp rope could be easily destroyed, but the invisible hemp rope in Tian Ying's heart had to be solved by herself in the end.
After hearing what she said, Tian Ying was a little surprised and wiped her tears: "Yuzhu, you are indeed much smarter than before, and you are so eloquent now.
But people, how can we live only for ourselves? There are other people around us, for example..."
"Like Zhou Ergou?" Tian Yuzhu looked at Tian Ying distressedly. "Sister, are you going to live your whole life for a man like Zhou Ergou? It's not worth it. You can have a better life instead of being stuck in this mess of the Zhou family."
"But I'm a woman who can't have children, where else can I go?"
"Sister, it's not easy for a woman to live her whole life. You don't have to give birth to a baby."
"What?"
Tian Yuzhu's words shocked Tian Ying: "What else can a woman do if she doesn't give birth to a child?"
In her mind, giving birth to children, supporting her husband and educating her children, and being filial to her parents-in-law are what a woman should be like.
Tian Yuzhu sighed. It would take more than a minute to explain it to her. Only by taking practical action could she let her understand that there are different ways to live life. "Sister, come with me to Quanshui Village and stay for a few days. I'll teach you a skill that can make money. Also, Zhou Ergou should leave now!"
"What? This...this won't do." Tian Ying was so frightened that she quickly shook her head. "If I divorce Zhou Ergou at this time and go to Quanshui Village with you, it will definitely make more people talk about the relationship between me and Lao San."
Tian Yuzhu asked her seriously, "So what do you think? What's going on between you and the third brother? Sister, do you like him?"
Tian Ying immediately shook her head in fear: "Yuzhu, don't misunderstand me, how could I be so unclear, he is your brother-in-law, the third brother and I are just like friends, oh no, sometimes I feel like siblings.
He came over today and talked to me about him and his dad. He was really sad and said that his dad kicked him out.
"Sister, is it true?" Tian Yuzhu looked into Tian Ying's eyes.
The other party nodded seriously: "Really, I'm not lying to you."
After saying that, she turned around and took out the red velvet hairpin from the box: "By the way, please give this to the third brother for me. He can't give it to me, he has to give it to my future daughter-in-law."
Tian Yuzhu pushed her hand back: "You can have a good talk with him some other day and return it to him in person. Sister, do you agree with the suggestion I just made?
Regarding the divorce, and also about staying with me in Quanshui Village for a few days, do you agree?"
"But I...where can I live after my divorce? And even if I go to Quanshui Village with you now, you will continue to join the army in a few days. What should I do then?"
Tian Ying was also very thoughtful.
Tian Yuzhu had anticipated this and said, "We'll go back to my parents' home and find a place for you to live. Go to Quanshui Village to learn a craft, and then go back to my parents' home. I'll go and convince my eldest brother and father."
"Can you convince them?" Tian Ying didn't believe it.
"Just rest assured."
It is actually not difficult to persuade a person, as long as you know what he desires.
Tian Yuzhu was full of confidence: "Sister, let's sign the divorce agreement tonight and divorce Zhou Ergou. No matter how we live in the future, it won't be worse than living with Zhou Ergou.
And I tell you, our lives will definitely get better and better from now on."
Tian Ying looked at her sister hesitantly: "..."
She couldn't imagine a better day than this. In her concept, as long as she was not hungry, it was a good day. She didn't dare to have too high expectations.
However, after hearing what Tian Yuzhu said, she did start to think about divorcing Zhou Ergou.
Another key issue here is that after today, Zhou's parents will definitely make things more difficult for her.
Thinking about the days she would have to face starting tomorrow, Tian Ying finally made up her mind and nodded: "Okay, Yuzhu, I'll listen to you."
In short, let's get divorced first and take it one step at a time. It's better than staying in the Zhou family.
Tian Yuzhu finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurried out to find Shi Zhentang to get paper and pen. He had the habit of carrying pens and small notebooks.
Secretary Yang and the others happened to be there, so Tian Yuzhu said, "Dear leaders, you all know what kind of life my sister Tian Ying is leading in the Zhou family.
Over the years, she not only endured abuse from her in-laws, but was also regularly beaten by Zhou Ergou. Before I joined the army, I asked Shi Weiqiang to come and look after my sister when he was free. The third son of our family is a sincere man, and he truly protected my sister as if she were his own.
I just didn't expect Zhou Ergou to use this to slander people and put a dubious label on them. I'm sure everyone can imagine what kind of life my sister has to live with after this incident.
So now my sister has decided to divorce Zhou Ergou. It is also the wish of our Tian family that my sister escape this sea of suffering. I ask for your understanding and approval."
Tian Yuzhu's words were so sincere that even the onlookers in the village nodded.
No one dared to say much about the relationship between the third son of the Shi family and Tian Ying, but everyone in the village knew that Zhou Ergou was a good-for-nothing.
This bastard has never felt sorry for his wife. Not only does he make her do hard labor every day, he also beats and kicks her at any time.
The village cadres of the Second Commune naturally knew that Secretary Yang and his team had come to mediate several times, and he also talked to Zhou Ergou privately.
I told him not to treat Tian Ying like that, and even threatened to deduct cents from his family's salary, but it didn't work at all.
Now that Tian Ying proposed divorce, no one in the village thought it was inappropriate, and the village cadres all acquiesced.
Only Zhou's parents were stunned when they heard it, and then they started cursing, saying that Tian Ying had no conscience, was ambitious, and had ulterior motives.
No matter how much they cursed, they didn't dare to directly say who Tian Ying's cheating partner was.
Shi Weiqiang didn't care about the frivolous words they said, but asked Tian Yuzhu happily: "Second sister-in-law, does Sister Tian Ying really think so? That's great, then she won't have to worry all day long, and I won't have to..."
Before he could finish his words, Shi Weimin pinched him on the back.
This kid doesn't know how to control his mouth. He says whatever he wants to say. I'm afraid that what he says will cause misunderstanding again.
Shi Weiqiang's mouth grimaced as he was pinched, and he braked in time: "..."
Shi Zhentang followed Tian Yuzhu into the house to help Tian Ying write the divorce agreement.
