Zheng Quan returned home half a month later.
By then, Zheng Xian had recovered, but the wound on her forehead was still wrapped in gauze, and she looked very weak.
Zheng Quan came back, but he did not go home first, but came to the town to see the daughter.
Seeing Zheng Xian like this, he immediately said angrily: "That vicious woman Zhu actually harmed her own daughter like this!"
Zheng Xian was present, and old man Zheng wanted to save his face, so he pulled him out.
In the main hall, the two elders of the Zheng family, Zheng Ren, and Zheng Quan were talking.
Old man Zheng immediately expressed his thoughts: "Zhu is such a troublemaker. She made our family restless in the past. I tolerated her for the sake of the children. But now, look at what she did. She almost harmed the girl. I can't tolerate her anymore!"
Although Zheng Quan was also very angry with Zhu, they had been married for many years and were a little hesitant.
Seeing his expression, old man Zheng knew that he didn't want to divorce his wife. He sighed and said, "Your life is your own. You are grown up now. You don't listen to your father..."
Zheng Quan hurriedly said, "Dad, it's not like that. It's just that Xian and Arong are so old now. If I marry Zhu again, the two children will feel so uncomfortable. Dad, don't be angry. I will definitely punish Zhu this time!"
Old man Zheng shook his head tiredly, obviously not wanting to intervene. If it weren't for his grandchildren, he wouldn't even bother to say it.
Zheng Ren sighed. His useless brother didn't want to divorce his wife, and who could really force him to do so? He just said, "Second brother, let's do this. You call Zhu here and explain it clearly in front of my parents and me. If she does such a reckless thing again in the future, divorce her immediately. It's also a good way to scare Zhu and let her know the severity of the consequences." Hearing that
his elder brother said that he didn't need to divorce his wife, but just wanted to scare Zhu, Zheng Quan nodded and agreed, "Big brother is right, I will definitely let her remember it!"
After saying these words, Zheng Quan went into the house to see Zheng Xian again.
After not seeing each other for several months, the father and daughter naturally had a lot to say.
Zheng Quan was originally a bit fat, but after being outside for a few months, he got tanned and thinner. He used to be lazy but now he looks much more energetic.
The father and daughter asked each other about their recent situation. Zheng Xian prepared a plan and asked his father, "Dad, what did you do for a living during those months? Mom said you sent a lot of money back, and we can move to the town and live in a big house in the future."
Zheng Quan didn't seem to want to talk about it, and just said, "You are just a kid, don't worry about it."
Zheng Xian said, "Dad, I am so old now, and Mom has started to worry about my marriage, why am I still a kid?" When
it comes to marriage, , Zheng Quan thought of the evil things that the confused Zhu had done, and said distressedly: "Your mother is confused and has made you suffer. Don't worry, your father will make the decision for you, and he will definitely not betroth you to someone else in such a confused way."
Zheng Xian lowered her eyes and nodded without saying anything. What she thought in her heart was that her father's livelihood was indeed not glorious, and it should be almost the same as what she remembered... Fortunately, nothing happened, and everything could still be turned around.
Zheng Quan stayed at Zheng's house until dark before returning to Huaishu Village. Before leaving, he told his father and eldest brother that Zhu would be turned over the next morning.
After he left, Zheng Xiu took the medicine to Zheng Xian to drink.
Zheng Xian had rested for such a long time that she was no longer in any serious condition. She could walk and move around easily. When she saw her, she said, "Big sister, there's no need to do this. When the medicine is ready,
just call me out to drink it." Zheng Xiu felt that after she had gone through the disaster, she had become more polite and considerate. She had a better impression of her than before, so she said, "It's only a few steps from the stove room. It's a piece of cake for me to bring it to you."
Zheng Xian smiled sweetly at her, took the medicine bowl, blew away the hot air, and drank it down in one gulp. After
drinking the medicine, Zheng Xian put down the medicine bowl, wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Big sister, there is something I don't know whether I should tell you."
Zheng Xiu nodded, motioning her to continue.
Zheng Xian thought for a moment and said, "My mother said that my father made a lot of money after being away for a few months, and that if he continued like this, our family would be able to move to the town soon. When my father was talking to me today, I asked him what he did for a living. He was hesitant and evasive and refused to tell me. I thought... maybe there was some reason why he couldn't tell others about it?"
Zheng Quan's reluctance to talk more just now could not be described as "hesitant and evasive". If Zheng Xian had not known the ins and outs of it, she probably wouldn't have figured it out.
Zheng Xiu frowned: "Can't tell others about it?" She had doubts about her second uncle's business a long time ago, but Zhu didn't want to say more at the time, so she didn't think much about it. Now even Zheng Xian, as her second uncle's biological daughter, has raised such doubts, so there must be something fishy.
She pondered for a moment and said, "I will discuss this matter with my father later. Don't worry or be anxious. Wait for the adults to ask."
If his father still couldn't figure it out, it was afraid that the business of his second uncle would be really shameful.
Zheng Xian told his father about her and Zheng Xian's worries that night. Zheng Ren had never had such doubts before, and he immediately said that he would ask Zheng Quan about it the next day.
The next morning, Zheng Quan brought Zhu to the door.
Zhu also brought Zheng Rong with her. She said that she was afraid that Zheng Rong would be alone at home without anyone to take care of him, but in fact she regarded the child as her own amulet.
At this time, the Zheng family had just finished breakfast, and the two children had gone out to school. Zheng Ren asked for half a day off to stay at home. After
they entered the main hall, Old Man Zheng asked Zheng Xiu and Zheng Xian to go back to the house first.
Old Lady Zheng hadn't seen Zheng Rong for a long time, so she smiled and said, "Ah Rong, do you want to play with grandma? Grandma will buy you some maltose."
Hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Zheng Rong struggled to get out of Zhu's arms.
Zhu pulled Zheng Rong back to her side and coaxed him, "Ah Rong, be good and stay with me. I will go to the pastry shop to give you something delicious later."
The pastries sold in the pastry shop in the town are not cheap, and Zhu has spent a lot of money. But she had no choice. She was so scared by the old man Zheng's words "divorce" that she couldn't sleep for days. After returning home, she didn't even dare to come to see Zheng Xian. When Zheng Quan came back, he didn't treat her well and just said that he would bring her to Old Man Zheng and Zheng Ren the next day. Zhu was shocked at the time, thinking that Zheng Quan really wanted to divorce her? He could make money from his business now, and Zhu didn't dare to make trouble with him like before. Old Man Zheng
snorted coldly and said to Zheng Quan: "Give the child to your mother."
Zheng Quan directly pulled Zheng Rong out of Zhu's arms, picked him up, and stuffed him into Old Lady Zheng's arms.
Although Zheng Quan was a child who didn't know how to do things, he was also very sensitive. He immediately felt the solemn atmosphere at home and burst into tears.
Old Man Zheng waved to Old Lady Zheng, and Old Lady Zheng carried Zheng Rong out of the main room.
Finally, only a few adults were left in the room.
Without Zheng Rong by her side, Zhu hunched her neck and lowered her head.
Old Zheng and Zheng Ren looked at each other, and both understood.
Old man Zheng slammed the table and said, "Ms. Zhu, do you know what you did wrong?"
At this time, Mrs. Zhu no longer dared to be stubborn, and said in a low voice with grievance, "I know I was wrong, but I didn't mean to harm Miss Xian. I hope that father will be magnanimous and not hold it against me."
Old man Zheng snorted coldly, "You shouldn't say these words of compensation and apology to me, but to Miss Xian."
Mrs. Zhu hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, father is right, I will go and apologize to Miss Xian in person later."
Her attitude of admitting her mistakes was unprecedentedly good. It was obvious that she was really afraid that Old Man Zheng would let Zheng Quan divorce her.
Zheng Ren gave Zheng Quan another look, and Zheng Quan said, "Dad is right. Zhu has made such a big mistake. I'm afraid she can't stay at home anymore. Dad and big brother, please be witnesses. Today I will write a letter of divorce and let her go home..."
Zhu's eyes widened and looked at Zheng Quan in disbelief, "You, you really want to divorce me?!"
Zheng Quan said with a frown on his face, "You almost killed our daughter. How can I keep you at home?"
Zhu suddenly sat down on the ground and burst into tears, "You are so bad, Zheng Quan. You didn't come home for half a year, and when you came back, you said you wanted to divorce me! You haven't had any children for so many years. , I have to take care of the children, serve my parents-in-law, and work in the fields from time to time. Now you are so capable that you want to divorce me... I will not live anymore. I will just die here..."
Zheng Ren looked at Zhu, who was sitting on the ground and trembling, coldly and said, "If you want to die now, do it before the divorce letter is written. In this way, you can be buried in my Zheng family's ancestral tomb after you die."
When Zhu heard that Zheng Ren was really urging her to die, she became even more heartbroken and cried, "Zheng Quan, you are so heartless, your whole family is going to force me to death..." This time she was not pretending to cry, but crying sincerely. Being divorced is one time, but if everyone outside knew that the reason for her divorce was that she almost caused her daughter to jump into the river, then she would really have no life for the rest of her life.
Zhu kept crying, and the others didn't try to stop her, just looked at her coldly.
"Brother, don't let this shrew succeed, go get some paper and pen, and write the divorce letter now."
Zheng Quan's words made Zhu feel hopeless.
Her face was covered with tears and snot, and she felt hopeless at that moment. She collapsed on the ground and fainted.
Zheng Quan was the first to notice that something was wrong with her. He squatted down, held her in his arms, rocked her, and checked her breath.
Fortunately, her breath was normal. Zheng Quan was afraid that she was pretending to faint, so he pinched her philtrum.
