There Will Be No Divorce

Shen Zian and Su Zhi sat in a shabby but clean thatched hut. They looked at each other without saying a word. It was suddenly very quiet. They could even hear the birds singing outside. It was so quiet that it made people feel a little uneasy, especially Shen Zian. He walked over and held Su Zhi's hand.

"Wife, I'm sorry for making you suffer today."

Su Zhi's originally turbulent heart suddenly calmed down, and she asked, "That old Taoist priest said I was a jinx, and everyone believed it. You also know that when I was a child, people said I had a bad fate, which is why I was sent to a nunnery for so many years. My fate is still bad now, aren't you afraid?"

Shen Zian hugged Su Zhi in his arms, resting his chin on her head, and said, "I'm not afraid. We've been together for so long, and nothing has happened to me. Even if something has happened, it's my fate, and I can't blame others. Besides, they also said that I killed my mother, aren't you afraid of me?"

Su Zhi was held in a warm embrace, and her heart was warmed. Shen Zian did not say that he did not believe that she was an unlucky star, but he said that he was not afraid, and even if something happened to him, he would not blame her. This moved her more than not believing that she was an unlucky star. You know, in ancient times, most people believed in ghosts and gods. Even if they did not believe in ghosts and gods, they would believe that a person was blessed or unlucky. Even if Shen Zian believed that she was an unlucky star, that was normal, but he still did not give up on her, which was the most precious thing. From this moment, she really felt that this person would be her lifelong support.

Shen Zian was very happy to see his wife obediently let him hold her and even put her arms around his waist. He and his wife slept in the same bed these days. Sometimes when she was cold at night, she would curl up in his arms to sleep, but they had never been so intimate during the day. It was so comfortable to hold his wife. It would be nice if he could hold her like this all the time.

Su Zhi's stomach growled twice, breaking the warm atmosphere.

Shen Zian let go of Su Zhi with a smile and took out the wrapped buns from the cloth bag he carried with him. After being tossed around like that, the buns were already cold.

"Wife, please heat it up and eat it. It's meat and it's very delicious."

Su Zhi took the bun and felt touched. She thought that meat buns must be quite expensive at that time. It seemed like in novels, meat buns were a mouth-watering food.

Shen Zian would always bring her some delicious food, not much, just enough for her to eat. She also ate meat these days, all hunted by Shen Zian, and shared by the twenty-something members of the family, so it was good to have two pieces. She, who used to eat meat every day, was actually greedy for meat now!

"I've made some porridge. Heat up the buns and we'll eat together."

Su Zhi took the buns and was about to go to work. Shen Zian asked her to sit down and rest while he went to work. Although Su Zhi was able to do the work now, he still didn't let her do too much work.

The buns were quickly heated up and the two of them sat together to eat.

"Wife, your cooking is delicious."

"Then I will cook it for you every day. Just don't get tired of it."

"No, even if you make porridge every day, I won't get tired of it."

Shen Zian said happily that his wife said she would do it for him in the future. Did she want to live with him peacefully? I remember when she first got married, she sat like a wooden doll every day. She would hide away when he touched her. He also asked her if she didn't want to live with him. If she didn't want to, he would send her back. She said nothing. He could only say that if she wanted to divorce, she could say so. As long as she said so, he would send her back unconditionally.

At that time, Shen Zian had no special feelings for this daughter-in-law. It was just a marriage, a responsibility. He thought that although it was wrong for her to marry into the family with an illness, it was not a reason to divorce her. No one said that a sick girl couldn't get married, not to mention that they had been engaged for a long time. If he broke off the engagement because of her illness, it would still be his fault. So this daughter-in-law didn't do anything wrong except this, and he would not divorce her unless she wanted to leave.

One month after his wife got married, she suddenly developed a high fever. He thought she would not survive, but she survived and became more energetic. She has become the daughter-in-law she is today who can smile gently, talk to him, sew clothes and cook.

Shen Zian had long been attracted by the talkative and cheerful Su Zhi, and no longer had the idea that she could leave whenever she wanted. He wanted her to stay, and the two of them would continue to live like this. But that was only his idea, and he didn't know what Su Zhi was thinking. As Su Zhi sewed clothes for him, took apart quilts for him, and cooked for him, he liked her more and more, and sometimes he even wondered if they would continue to live like this if her illness did not get better. Then he felt a little ashamed. His wife was suffering from that illness, so how could he let her stay like that forever? It would be better for her to get divorced sooner, even if she wanted to divorce him later.

Now that Su Zhi said she would continue to cook for him in the future, Shen Zian began to worry again, wondering how long she would continue to cook for him.

"Zi'an, what are you thinking about?"

Su Zhi saw that Shen Zian was still drinking the porridge, but he seemed a little distracted, not as excited as he was just now about drinking the delicious porridge, so she asked.

"Wife, do you remember what I told you when you first got married? If you want a divorce, just tell me and I'll let you go. Do you remember?" Shen Zian thought about it and said it to Su Zhi. He looked into Su Zhi's eyes and said, "I don't want to let you go now."

Su Zhi blinked, thinking that this Zhao Xiaomei was unwilling to marry Shen Zian at first, otherwise why would he say that? But no matter what, Zhao Xiaomei is gone, she is Su Zhi, as long as she is willing. Seeing Shen Zian's nervous look, she suddenly wanted to tease him, so she put on a stern face.

"No, I have to leave here!"

"Su Zhi!" Shen Zian threw the bowl aside, grabbed Su Zhi's hand and said, "I will treat you well, please don't leave, let's live a good life together, isn't it good like this?"

"What's good about it?" Su Zhi pursed her lips. Seeing the pain in Shen Zian's eyes, she felt a little reluctant. She wanted to make a joke but couldn't make it too big, so she smiled and said, "What's good about this thatched house? I'm locked up here and staring at the sky every day. I don't have any freedom at all. I want to leave here. But I will take you, or you will take me, and we will live a good life together. One day we will live in a house that is hundreds and thousands of times better than this. What do you think?"

Shen Zian was stunned. Looking at the smile on Su Zhi's face, he realized that he had misunderstood or been deceived. He was not unhappy but smiled. He liked a wife who could joke like this.

"Of course, aren't we going to separate? We're leaving here soon, but we won't take many things with us. I'm afraid you'll be wronged."

"It will be better than now, right?" Su Zhi said nonchalantly, "As long as we have a pair of hands and work hard, we can always live a good life."

"Wife, you are right. I will let you live a good life."

The two finally confessed their secrets to each other and agreed not to leave each other again. They both felt at ease and finished their meal sweetly. Then Shen Zian was called to the big house in the afternoon. Of course Su Zhi was not invited. Not only did she have a serious illness, but she also brought bad luck. No one would invite her.

Shen Zhang and Sun were worried about the long night and the many troubles they would have, so they didn't even want to spend the next day. As soon as they got back and had dinner together, they urged Shen Youfu to divide the family property today. Shen Youfu then went to invite the head of the village and two cousins ​​to come.

The others were just there to sit and watch. They would only step in if the people who split the family were dissatisfied with the result, so all three of them sat there.

The head of the village said, "Today, the Shen family wants to separate Zi'an. This is a last resort. Even if the family is separated, we are still a family. Don't have any grudges. We still need to support each other in the future. Now, start to separate."

Shen Zian didn't say anything. He already knew that he wouldn't get much today. He wanted whatever was given to him. If it weren't for Su Zhi, he wouldn't even want anything to avoid any entanglements in the future.

Sun also pulled Shen Ziping out. They were making sure that Shen Zian couldn't take away too many things.

Shen Youfu's two cousins ​​also said a few words, and then the division of the family officially began.
