Old Master Gu cursed inwardly, "This unlucky fellow, even at this point, why is he still being so soft-hearted?"
Didn't you see the whole family came out today, just to get justice for him?
He quickly stood in front of Gu Yansong and said to the village chief,
"Since the Liu family doesn't approve of my grandson, then this marriage is off."
Liu Dequan and his wife were overjoyed; this meant they agreed to the divorce.
It seems their beating today wasn't for nothing.
As if knowing what they were thinking, Old Master Gu glanced at them sideways and continued,
"We, as family members, agree to a divorce!"
But my grandson has been treated like a slave by the Liu family for years, and we need an explanation.”
Liu Dequan and his wife were unhappy. "What's the explanation?"
As a grown man, isn't it his duty to support his family?
Which old man in the village doesn't do that?
Old Master Gu sneered, "What are you two pretending to be stupid for?"
Home?
Is this his home?
Are he and Liu Yuanyuan a couple?
The child is that of another man. After so many years of marriage, Gu Yansong has never even touched his wife.
Are you saying he should support his family now?
What kind of family does he support, and whose mouth does he feed?
Liu Dequan's wife disagreed, "How could we, as elders, know what happens between the two of them in their room?"
We can't say for sure whether they're asleep or not; we can't exactly eavesdrop, can we?
Besides, now that this brat has run away, it's no use for you to come and make a scene with us!
We're still anxious to find her!
That's true. Liu Yuanyuan left a letter before she left, saying that she was going to find Huihui's father.
Let them kick Gu Yansong out; after all, the two of them haven't registered their marriage, it's very simple.
They said they would bring Huihui's biological father along when she returned.
You know, Huihui's dad is a city dweller, no better than Gu Yansong, a peasant.
She regrets it now; she should have never listened to that brat.
Why kick Gu Yansong out so early?
There's still a ton of work to do at home!
In her opinion, she should have waited until she returned with Huihui's father before kicking Gu Yansong out.
This is the safest approach.
Liu Dequan also said, "Yes, we're still searching the whole world for that brat."
"It's no use dragging us into this!"
The old man immediately retorted, "Useless? Who said it's useless?"
When you were looking for a son-in-law to live with you, it was your Liu family who hired a matchmaker to come and propose marriage.
You know perfectly well what you're up to.
What kind of life has Gu Yansong lived in your family for so many years?
I don't believe you don't know the answer.
Let me be frank!
We don't want this marriage anymore, even if your Liu Yuanyuan is crying and begging to marry into our family.
We don't want this daughter-in-law anymore.
The village chief glanced at Gu Yansong and asked, "Is this also your idea?"
Gu Yansong nodded blankly, "I'll listen to my grandfather. What my grandfather says is what I mean."
The village chief slammed his hand on the table. "Since both of your families are considering divorce, let's talk about what's next!"
The two did not get a marriage certificate, and did not even need to go to the marriage registration office.
Of course, the village chief didn't know whether this was something the Liu family had planned in advance.
Anyway, many people in the village don't get marriage certificates; they just have a banquet and consider it a wedding.
He remembered that the Liu family didn't even hold a banquet; they just invited his sister-in-law's family for a meal, and that was considered the wedding.
"Gu family, what are your requirements? Tell us first."
The village chief came here to resolve the issue, so naturally he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
Besides, it's not exactly something to be proud of.
“The Liu family deceived and took advantage of Gu Yansong from our family.”
"I demand that the Liu family compensate our family for our losses." Old Master Gu coldly stated his demand.
Liu Dequan's wife hurriedly called out.
"What loss could a grown man like him possibly want?"
Who's getting divorced?
Are the gentlemen going to suffer losses?
Of course, divorces are rare in the surrounding villages, so she naturally didn't know if the other party was going to suffer any losses.
But throughout history, women have always been the most pitiful party in divorces.
Although there was something wrong with their family situation, her daughter was a woman, so she spoke those words with a clear conscience.
Liu Dequan nodded in agreement, "There's no reason for a man to demand compensation in this world!"
Why can't we keep it?
You deceived him for seven years, supporting someone else's wife, someone else's child, and someone else's in-laws.
"Just because you don't need him anymore, you kick him aside? What kind of logic is that?"
Grandpa Gu retorted without even thinking.
He had thought all of this out last night, and it was the result of further discussions with everyone on the way.
The onlookers exchanged knowing glances and winks at the scene.
It really is a case of each side having their own reasons.
What the Liu family said makes some sense; there were several divorces in the village in previous years.
But they always compensate women; I've never heard of compensating men.
However, Gu Yansong's situation is different. He is indeed a man, but he is a son-in-law who lives with his wife's family, which is similar to that of a woman in her husband's family.
Anyway, they all sounded quite reasonable.
After a moment's thought, the village chief said to Grandpa Gu, "Alright, you tell me first, how do you want the compensation?"
When Liu Jia heard that the village chief had actually agreed to the Gu family's conditions, he panicked, "Village chief, whose side are you on? You really agreed?"
The village chief glared at him. "You disagree with my plan?"
