188: I don't want to be Mrs. Zhao anymore

(Girls' Literature)

The Zhao family members' faces turned red and white due to being scolded. Zhang Qingniang stood aside with her head lowered, an expression of grievance on her face.

Zhao Daliang felt a little resentful towards Liu Siniang and Su Zhi. If one of them wanted to divorce and the other was stirring up trouble, how could things have gotten to this point? Especially when he saw Liu Siniang and Li Shi look at each other, although it was only a quick glance, so quick that he thought they were not looking at each other at all, but now he was angry and still thought they were flirting with each other.

Zhao Daliang thought that he had heard about Liu Si Niang and Li Shi having an affair before. For this reason, he once used his sister Zhao Xiao Hua to test Li Shi, but Li Shi refused. He thought that Li Shi didn't even like Zhao Xiao Hua, a young and pretty girl, so how could he like his skinny wife? He didn't take it to heart. But now, it seems that Li Shi really has evil intentions towards his wife!

If Zhao Daliang's current thoughts were heard by reasonable people, they would definitely say that he was angry and ashamed. He had done something unkind and was being blamed for his wife, so he wanted to find fault with her so that people would think that he was not wrong and that it was all because of Liu Si Niang that he had to marry another virtuous wife.

The village head frowned and said to Zhao Daliang, "Daliang, in our Hebian Village, the number of people who have married concubines can be counted on one hand. Only landlords take concubines. Farmers do not take concubines! Now you are going to demote a good daughter-in-law into a concubine. You are really the first! Aren't you afraid of being stabbed in the back? Think about this matter carefully! Don't let the villagers drown you with spit!"

"Village head, I have no choice! Not only has Liu Si Niang been childless for three years, she has also been flirting with other men, ruining the reputation of our Zhao family. I am being kind to her by not divorcing her. I absolutely cannot let her be my wife again! Otherwise, I will be drowned in people's spit! I hope that the village head and fellow villagers can understand my difficulties!"

Zhao Daliang heard the reprimand from the head of the village and the accusations from the villagers, and thought of the glance between Li Shi and Liu Siniang just now, and he said this out loud.

"Zhao Daliang!"

Li Shi couldn't stand it anymore after hearing this, and angrily scolded Zhao Daliang, thinking how could this man be so shameful, he was Liu Siniang's husband. Didn't he know how much of an insult this was to Liu Siniang? Liu Siniang was such a virtuous woman, as a husband, he should not have sympathy for her, but how could he add insult to injury like this? Li Shi really felt sorry for Liu Siniang!

Zhao Daliang looked at Li Shi, smiled and said, "Daliang, why are you so anxious? I didn't say there was anything going on between you and Liu Si Niang. Why are you so anxious? Do you know I'm talking about you? You really care about her. You dare to do it, are you afraid that others will tell it? You want me to be a cuckold, how can it be that easy!"

Zhao Daliang thought that Liu Si Niang seemed to be determined to leave his home. She could leave, but she couldn't let his reputation be ruined. He wanted her to leave with a bad reputation. It would be even better if he could drag Li Shi and Shen Zi'an into this. Who made them so lucky that they could kill tigers, dig up people, and even get holy beasts in such a remote place? They lived such a good life, but he had worked so hard outside for several years and suffered so much, but he still didn't earn such a huge fortune! He was envious and jealous! Thinking of ruining their reputation, he felt better.

Li Shi was so angry that he wanted to go up and hit Zhao Daliang, but Shen Zian held his arm. Fighting now would not solve the problem, and it would make people believe more that what Zhao Daliang said was true.

Su Zhi comforted Liu Si Niang, who was trembling with anger after hearing Zhao Daliang's words, and cursed Zhao Daliang in her heart, thinking that this man really deserves to be the son of the old lady Li. He really dared to say such words. Let's not talk about whether he was guilty or not. He didn't feel ashamed to say that his wife had an affair with another man. Would he be glorious?

"Zhao Daliang, you should check your conscience before you say that. Everyone in our village knows what kind of person Si Niang is. She has worked like a slave for your Zhao family for so many years. You left for a year, leaving your old mother and young sister at home. It was all thanks to Si Niang that the family was able to support itself. Look at how she has raised your mother and your sister to be healthy, and look at her, she is pale and thin. Are you feeling guilty? You even dared to say that she has been childless for three years. With her husband away from home, who would you let her have a baby with? That's right, you have found a good woman now, and you don't like Si Niang, so you say that she is having an affair with another man. If she has a baby, you will say it is a bastard! You really have all the reasons! Aren't you ashamed?"

Su Zhi stood in front of Liu Siniang's bed, pointed her finger at Zhao Daliang and started scolding him. She didn't want to scold Zhao Daliang to change his mind. Even if this kind of man changed his mind, Su Zhi still didn't want Liu Siniang to live with him. She had just seen the look in Liu Siniang and Li Shi's eyes, and then saw Li Shi's anxious look. All the doubts in her heart were now clear. It turned out that Li Shi and Liu Siniang really were interested in each other.

Now that I think about it, it must have been Liu Si Niang who gave Li Shi the red belt. The embroidery on it really looks like Liu Si Niang's!

Su Zhi wished that it would be so, and let Liu Si Niang divorce and marry Li Shi. She had always thought that they had similar personalities, but it was a pity that Liu Si Niang was a married woman at that time. Now was a good time for Liu Si Niang to leave this painful marriage.

They must divorce amicably, and leave the Zhao family with a clean record, so that the Zhao family will lose both their daughter-in-law and their reputation!

Su Zhi accused Zhao Daliang so loudly just to clear Liu Si Niang's name, make others sympathize with her, and think that the Zhao family is worthless. Then, it would be the best time to leave the Zhao family.

"That's right. You've been away from home for two and a half years in three years of marriage, and you're blaming your wife for not having children. That's really unreasonable."

Sister Li said that she and Sister Shugen had just arrived. She usually got along well with Liu Siniang and was a straightforward person, so she immediately started speaking for Liu Siniang.

Sister Shugen said, "If you just want to continue the family line, you can just marry a concubine. Why do you have to demote your first wife to a concubine? If you don't like your first wife, then you can just give your reasons and divorce her. Demoting her to a concubine is like forcing a first wife to die!"

Everyone began to agree. What Sister Shugen said was right. If a legitimate wife was demoted to a concubine, then life would be really miserable. Liu Si Niang had already been bullied by the Zhao family. If she became a concubine again, her life would be even more miserable.

Su Zhi mockingly mentioned Zhang Qingniang's so-called ancestral teachings.

"To demote your first wife to a concubine just for her ancestral teachings is really a joke! It's not that Si Niang doesn't want to help you. She's willing to leave the house and beg for mercy, but you still won't let her go and even accuse her of having an affair! If Si Niang had an affair with someone, why would you keep her? Can you, the Zhao family, really be so kind and righteous as to tolerate your daughter-in-law doing such a thing? Who would believe it if you told them? You just want to keep Si Niang and use her as a slave. You really have too many fantasies!"

The village head said to Zhao Daliang, "Zhao Daliang, you can't slander this woman's reputation casually. Moreover, Si Niang has worked hard for your Zhao family for four years. You must have evidence to say so. Otherwise, our Hebian Village cannot accept such a scandal!"

Old Lady Li said, "Village head, do you still need evidence? I've long said that this little bitch had colluded with someone, but you didn't believe me. Now she's in a hurry to leave and find that wild man! We in the Zhao family cannot tolerate such a woman tarnishing our reputation!"

The village head said angrily, "What are you going to do? Let Liu Si Niang stay in your Zhao family as a concubine? Who wouldn't divorce such an unfaithful woman? Why do you refuse to let her go? What's the logic? I don't think Liu Si Niang is unfaithful, but you are reluctant to let her go! I'm going to say it right here! There is no evidence to prove that Liu Si Niang is an unfaithful woman, so just shut up! Hebian Village doesn't want such things that tarnish people's reputation!"

The head of the village was really angry. Firstly, he felt sorry for Liu Si Niang, and secondly, the Rain-Worshipping Festival was approaching. This year, Hebian Village had made a big splash in the selection of the Rain Goddess and young boys and girls, and it was the time for them to be proud. If the scandal of a married woman having an affair with someone in the village got out, it would be such a slap in the face!

Zhao Daliang saw that the village head was angry, so he said, "Calm down, village head. We won't say such things anymore. This is our family affair, and we don't want to disturb the village head and the villagers. Please go and have a rest. We will solve our family affairs ourselves. Please go away, everyone."

How could those who were watching the excitement leave? The excitement had not yet ended. No matter how much Zhao Daliang bowed and bid them farewell, they just wouldn't leave.

Su Zhi hurried over to pull Liu Si Niang, asking her to speak out her mind while the man was still here. She didn't know if it would be easy for a woman to ask for a divorce at this time, so she had to settle the matter while there were many people around so that people would feel at ease. She couldn't keep a husband like Zhao Daliang, so she should divorce him as soon as possible. Good morning.

After hearing what Zhao Daliang shouted at her just now, Liu Si Niang was even more determined to divorce. When Su Zhi pulled her, she got down from the ground and knelt on the ground with a thud.

"Village head, fellow villagers, everyone, please make a decision for me today. I want to divorce Zhao Daliang. I will not stay in the Zhao family anymore. I will not be a wife of the Zhao family anymore, and I will not be a concubine of the Zhao family anymore!"

Old Lady Li started to curse Liu Si Niang: "You shameless little bitch! You have brought shame to our Zhao family. You want to leave? No way! You must die in our Zhao family!"

"There is no law in this country that forbids women from seeking divorce. I want a divorce, and you can't stop me!"
