Those who had already stood up knelt down again in the direction of the Chi clan's ancestral hall.
Some things require someone to take the lead.
For every one person who kneels and kowtows, there will be countless others.
While everyone passing through Chijia'ao was doing the same, Qi Mingyu, who had already returned from the prefectural city and was now lying in bed, was filled with regret.
He had never regretted it as much as he did now.
His father died, and he was lying in the clinic receiving treatment.
By the time the money was almost gone, the illness was still not cured, and after spending a fortune and barely escaping death, he returned from the city, his home no longer standing.
He's disabled, and my mother's health has been poor ever since she was injured; she can't take care of him.
Therefore, everything in the family depended on Xue Shi to support them.
As it turned out, that unfaithful slut was carrying an illegitimate child.
Knowing that he would never divorce her, she didn't even consider divorce. Instead, she openly brought the other man back under the guise of a servant.
They were at home, or in his presence, having sex.
Whether you're happy or unhappy, you should scold or hit him.
The clan had considered standing up for him.
However, he and his mother both understood that if they divorced Xue, they would face certain death.
After all, they can help you for a day or two, but they can't help you every day.
In particular, water is scarce everywhere, and everyone has to spend several days going to the Beilian Mountains near Chijia'ao to fetch it.
If they leave the Xue family, they will have neither money nor people.
The clansmen will never continue to help like this day after day.
However, if he didn't divorce Xue, he would live in misery every day.
He had difficulty turning over and sitting up.
Even relieving oneself requires servants to attend to one's needs.
To reduce his urination and defecation, the wicked Xue, who had caused him so much suffering, made him eat less or not at all.
Now, he feels like he's on his last breath.
At this time last year, he was full of vigor and ambition, determined to win the imperial examination this year.
But now, he feels like he's about to die.
He was unwilling, extremely unwilling.
Logically, he should have passed the imperial examination, become a successful candidate in the provincial examination, entered officialdom, and then enjoyed a harmonious marriage with many children.
But why did it turn out like this?
It seems that all these changes began when the Chi family started making a fuss about divorce.
If she hadn't divorced him or had simply died, his life wouldn't have turned out this way.
While Qi Mingyu was thinking this way every day with resentment, Chi Yu also returned to Chijia'ao from the Beilian Mountains.
She first went to the ancestral hall to see the imperial edict that was being enshrined, and then explained the next steps to Chi Dongyi and the others.
Especially after the sweet potatoes and potatoes are harvested, what should be done?
Seeing her posture, Chi Dong asked:
"Little Fish, where are you planning to go?"
Chi Yu did not hide anything from Chi Dongyi and immediately replied:
"Uncle Chieftain, I have something to do and need to go to the Northern Frontier."
But as you know, this round trip takes a lot of time.
I reckon I won't be back until after the New Year at the earliest.
Upon hearing this, Chi Dongyi looked up at the sky, where it had already started to rain, and then calculated the water storage capacity of each household in the village.
After quickly assessing the situation in his mind, he said:
"Little Fish, in principle, I don't want you to go on long trips."
However, one cannot only think of oneself and let others trap you here.
But I'm thinking that you've just been granted the title of Princess, which is a major event for our entire clan.
"We have to hold one, don't we?"
