Chapter 141: I am also willing to pay
Zhang Hongfa and Lu Debang hurried to stop her. This matter can be a big deal or a small one. Divorce is a matter between the couple anyway. What does it mean for the village to directly provide proof? Now they are all angry. It’s okay to say divorce, but what if Yu Shirley reacts and wants to bring the two children to the Xu family again?
Not to mention anything else, just look at her lazy appearance. These two girls will starve to death if they follow her in the future!
"Director Guo, you can't just say that. It's better to tear down a temple than to break up a marriage. A couple quarrels at the head of the bed and makes up at the foot of the bed. They have been married for so many years. They quarrel from time to time but they never get divorced. The village can't just issue a certificate. What's the big deal?"
"Yes, the most important thing now is to send Daya Niang to the health center.
We can talk about other things after she wakes up." Director Guo insisted again and again that she must take care of this matter today. What a confusing thing to say. If she hadn't seen the despair in Yu Shirley's eyes and the pitiful look of the two children, she would not have said such a thing.
No matter what Yu Shirley is like in normal times, she was brave enough to save the two children who were killed today, and she could speak out on the spot, couldn't she explain the problem? She said that they would leave her a way out. If she couldn't get a divorce, wouldn't it be a matter of time before she was beaten to death?
"Don't say that to me. Even if I, the director of the Women's Department, quit today, this marriage must be ended. Look at the faces of you two village cadres. You are men, so of course you say that, but it is us women who are beaten and scolded. It has been so many years since the liberation, but we women are still often abused. Why? It's because you men are not doing anything. Let alone other things. Don't you know how many baby girls are buried in Beihegou? I won't say anything else. I've said too much. I should say that I don't realize enough. Changhong, help carry Shirley to the clinic. Xiangxiang and Daya go and pack up. Don't come to the Xu family from now on. Do you understand?"
Daya and Xiaoya's faces were covered with tears. Daya looked at Guo Xiuqin and suddenly knelt down in front of her.
"Grandma Guo, my sister and I are willing to follow our mother. We will never come here again even if we starve to death. I kowtow to you, Grandma Guo, thank you for saving our mother."
"Good children."
Lu Debang and Zhang Hongfa were a little dumb. At this time, they could no longer say anything to stop them.
"Director Guo, no matter what, Daya saved my two children today. It is reasonable for me to thank her. I am willing to pay five yuan for her medical expenses. If she has any difficulties in living with Daya and Xiaoya in the future, just come to me."
Lu Xiangxiang took out fifty cents from her pocket and handed it to Director Guo.
"Director Guo, I am also willing to pay. This is my private money. I will give it all to you."
The people watching the excitement at the door could not help being moved by the filial piety of Daya and Xiaoya. One by one, they all started to take out their own money. They took out a dime or two, a cent or a penny. The younger ones were willing to pay some. After
Wu Xianglan made a scene, Lu Jiahe and Liu Sanjin gave her 30 yuan in one go to comfort her, and also promised to give her a yuan of pocket money every month. She was now very well off.
She thought that all this was because of Shen Meng's help, so when Lu Jiasheng came to the nursing home, she listened and followed him decisively. She worked very hard during the fight just now.
Seeing the two poor girls, she was also touched. She gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, took out fifty cents from her trouser pocket and handed it to Director Guo as a token of her appreciation.
"Okay, thank you all. I'll keep the money, and I'll make a list later of who paid how much. I'll tell Shirley then, and when she gets better, I'll let her bring Daya and Xiaoya to thank you one by one."
"Hey, Director Guo, you see, why don't you give this money to me? After all, Daya's mother is my daughter-in-law, and we'll be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. If she dies, the two girls will still have to live in the future."
Laizi's mother looked at the bills handed to Director Guo, and her eyes turned red with envy. Her head, which had just been a little dizzy from being called, was now very clear and not confused at all.
"Dream on, your family will receive the divorce certificate tomorrow."
After she said that, she asked Lu Changhong to carry Yu Shirley on his back, and she went out holding Xiaoya in her arms. Uncle Guai came over with a bullock cart, and several people helped. Lu Xiangxiang and Daya went to pack their things but were stopped by Laizi's mother, and were not allowed to enter the house.
She didn't get the money, and she would never let them take a single thing even
if she tried her best. "Don't take it. Go to the health center first. I'll have someone send some of my clothes over later. She didn't bring anything when she got married, and she didn't want anything when she left. With Daya and Xiaoya, that's enough."
Lu Xiangxiang pulled Daya onto the bullock cart when she heard it, and nodded to Shen Meng before leaving, and glanced at Shen Xiaobin.
Shen Meng led her family and husband's family back in a mighty procession. In the yard, the Xu family cried and howled, but they could do nothing. Who made a traitor come out of their family? A traitor who was protected by others.
Liu Sanjin and Wu Xianglan kept talking about how brave they were. Their purpose of showing off was very obvious. These two people used to be Zhou Jiaojiao's thugs. The words they said before were said to Zhou Jiaojiao when they bullied the original owner and the three children. Now they are saying the opposite. It's really ridiculous.
"Mom, Xianglan, you've worked so hard tonight. Well, I still have a pound of brown sugar at home. I'll ask Zhenping to bring it to you later. You can each take half a pound and drink it to replenish your body!"
Wu Xianglan's face lit up. In the past, she hung out with Zhou Jiaojiao every day. Although she could get some benefits, it was Zhou Jiaojiao who had to eat, and the rest was hers. It was nothing like the elder sister-in-law, who would give half a pound of brown sugar at a time.
They left happily, and Lu Zhenping held Lu Mingkai, and the family returned home.
Shen Shoutian, Shen Yutian and others wanted to leave, but Shen Meng didn't let them go. It was dinner time, so how could she let them go!
"You can't leave. Zhenping asked someone to bring two pairs of officer boots for my parents, and bought big-toed cotton shoes for you, my brother. My sisters-in-law also have headscarves. We went to the county town today to get things. We can take the things back after dinner at home. And Xiaobin, we won't leave today. We will go to the guesthouse later to send some food and clothes to Xiangxiang and the others."
Shen Xiaobin nodded quickly. He hadn't talked to Xiangxiang yet, so he could chat with her when he saw her later.
Lu Zhenping glanced at Shen Meng. He didn't buy big-toed shoes for his uncles, nor headscarves for his sisters-in-law. No matter how rich his comrades were, it was impossible for them to take care of all his relatives.
