"Yes, Grandma, I've made sure you've informed her."
"It's okay, if someone doesn't want to come, they don't have to."
"Grandma, I understand."
The group left. Someone helped Wang Hongxi to her feet.
"Hongxi, your daughter is your child, but isn't Dashan Erzhuang's child? Isn't he a child of the Liu family? You're confused!"
Wang Hongxi lowered her head, remained silent, and turned to leave.
Wang Hongxi's wife pulled Wang Xiaorui along behind.
"Wait a minute, we need to put today's events down on paper. Brother Changlin, could you please help me write them down?"
"Dad, how do I write this?" Liu Changlin was also worried.
"Just write down that the two of them agree to break up, and both families agree as well. Write two copies, put your fingerprints on them, one for each family, and then never see each other again."
The family of three couldn't leave because their uncles and aunts were blocking the doorway.
Seeing this scene, Liu Changlin knew he was destined to be the bad guy.
Da Shan found paper and pen and tidied the table. Liu Changlin sat down and started writing, without adding or subtracting a single word, just as Da Shan's father had told him.
"Dashan, go to your great-grandmother's house and find ink paste."
The house has been quiet all this time. It's already seven o'clock. No one has gone back to cook. They're just waiting for them to finish.
Dashan returned quickly. He placed the inkpad on the table, picked up a pen, wrote his name, and pressed his fingerprint on it.
Da Shan's dad also came over. He wrote his name on two pieces of paper and pressed his fingerprint on them.
"Wang Hongxi. It's your family's turn."
Wang Xiaorui's legs were trembling, but she was really unwilling to give up.
Wang Hongxi walked to the table, signed her name, and pressed her fingerprint. "Wang Xiaorui, come here."
"dad!"
"Come over and sign and put your fingerprint on."
Finally, Wang Xiaorui signed everything. Wang Hongxi grabbed one sheet and left without looking back, and the mother and daughter followed him back home.
The matter was resolved, and Da Shan's father bowed to everyone. "Thank you all."
Everyone else had left, leaving only the three of them at home.
"Xiao Cui, we can finally relax."
"Yes, we have to keep this piece of paper safe. Who knows what might happen to that madman later?"
"Well, Dashan should keep it. If she causes trouble for you later, just call the police station."
Zhang Hongmei escorted the old lady home, and she was still pouting when they arrived.
"Okay, why are you angry? That's just how people are."
"Grandma, I wanted to shoot her right then and there. She's not even human, how dare she talk to you like that?"
The old lady was very happy; this girl was still protecting the people she cared about.
"Alright, hurry home. Tomorrow is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and you should leave the day after tomorrow."
"Okay, I'm going back now. I'm angry with them all day."
When she got home, she saw Zhang Shouyi teaching his sons to play chess, so she went over to join them.
"Mom, is everything resolved?"
"Well, I'm telling you four, if I don't agree to your future wives, you're not allowed to marry them, or I'll disown you."
"Mom, have you been through something traumatic?"
"Yeah, if I had a son like Dashan, I'd beat him eight times a day."
The four children burst into laughter after hearing this. They all promised Zhang Hongmei that they would definitely bring it back to show her. If she didn't agree, they would break up.
The couple lay in bed that night. "Honey, there's no need to be angry. Only uneducated people do that."
"There are plenty of scumbags with culture, and they may be even more extreme."
"Wife, you don't have time for me anymore," Zhang Shouyi said plaintively.
"Shall we go up the mountain as a family tomorrow morning?"
"Do you have time?"
"Yes, Grandma is having a meeting with Lao Liu's family tomorrow, so we can go and have some fun."
They had a lively atmosphere here, but Wang Hongxi's home was shrouded in gloom.
Wang Xiaorui was kicked twice by Liang Dan and slapped. She only realized how much it hurt when she got home.
Now Wang Hongxi and his wife don't have the energy to deal with her anymore.
Since the old lady said that, and there's a meeting tomorrow, and he's finished being the village chief, who would have thought that in his old age he'd be stripped of his position?
Wang Xiaorui knew that because of her situation, her family would probably lose their standing in the village, but she was truly unwilling to accept it.
I'm already 28, what am I going to do? I'm uneducated, I definitely won't be able to find a job, and if my parents pass away, I'll really have no one to rely on.
My older brother doesn't even acknowledge me when we meet anymore. Can I really expect my nephew to take care of me in my old age? No, I still need to have my own family. Money is good, but it's not as good as having someone who truly cares for me.
Wang Xiaorui understood this point and began to worry again. Where could she find someone who would treat her well? After today's incident, it was impossible to find a husband nearby, but she didn't have the courage to go to the city.
No matter what I think of, nothing works. There's no other way but to take it one step at a time.
I came back in a hurry. I still have a lot of my things and some money in Liu Qingshan's dormitory. I have to get back quickly and can't let Liu Qingshan benefit from it.
Thinking of him, Wang Xiaorui gritted her teeth in hatred. She had been with him for more than ten years and had been a widow for more than ten years. Wang Xiaorui thought viciously that Liu Qingshan was completely impotent. She had been lying next to him for so many years, but he had never touched her. Even when she wanted to, he didn't react at all.
This proves that Liu Qingshan is a useless man. She hates herself for making up lies, saying she went to the hospital for a checkup and he's impotent—how could she possibly have a child? Any random man would be better than him. Why did she stubbornly insist on following him?
I really can't figure it out. Maybe I'm just obsessed?
She was thinking about her future, and so were Wang Hongxi and his wife.
"Honey, if we can't be the village chief anymore, shall we go live in the city and Jianshe?"
“The construction project can accommodate you, but his wife can’t. I’m in Liujiatun.”
"Why can't you tolerate me? I'm his mother."
"Don't you know why Jianshe hates us? You're pretending not to know. Fine, stop thinking about it. Even if we die, we'll die in Liujiatun. So what if we lose our position as village chief? It's nothing."
Your biggest worry right now is Xiaorui. After this commotion, it's impossible to find her a husband in the neighborhood. After the fifteenth, go back to your mother's house and try to find her a match. She can't stay at home forever. This is what I should do for her.”
The next morning, after breakfast, we took the reluctant Liu Qiang to the old lady's house.
“Liu Qiang, your ancestor is holding a meeting for the Liu family. Your father isn’t home. Listen to this and write a letter to him later.”
The four children in the back were trying not to laugh; their mother was really good at fooling them.
"Auntie, I can't write either!"
"You said you'd have your brothers write it for you."
The family of six told the old lady, and then went up the mountain.
