She stopped Ge Shuzhen who was about to leave: "Mom, my husband hasn't received his wages yet, why are you taking it away?"
This made Jiang Xin angry, and he went up and pulled Ning Dani aside: "What nonsense are you talking about? You work for your own family and still want to be paid. Aren't you ashamed?"
"What am I doing? It's only natural to be paid for work. Otherwise, why would I work for nothing?" Ning Dani shouted angrily at Jiang Xin: "If you work harder outside carrying packages, you can earn thirty copper coins. So, they are the ones who work hard at home."
The loud voice called the neighbors over. Jiang Xin was so angry that he gave her a big slap. The loud sound echoed in the huge yard. Ning Dani's face was swollen and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Li Dong'er chewed melon seeds and stood leisurely beside Ning Dani and said: "I say Jiang Xin, when Dani marries you, you will get a small beating every three days and a big beating every five days. If it were this, I would have returned to my parents' home."
When Ning Dani heard someone was speaking up for her, she burst into tears, her voice quite loud, and cried to the villagers outside the door who came to watch the excitement: "Uncles, aunts, sisters-in-law, please give me some justice... wuwuwu..."
"Jiang Xin earns at least twenty copper coins a day working outside, sometimes as much as thirty. The other day, the family said they wanted to start a small business, so the eldest son didn't go to work yesterday. Now that they've made some money, my mother-in-law won't give him a penny. Tell me, how can you be such an aunt?"
When Li Dong'er heard the words 'earn money', her brows were full of calculation. She immediately agreed with Ning Dani, saying, "Exactly. If they don't give you money, you might as well go out and work. If you don't share the money you earn, it's obviously to save money for the second son to get married. This is a bottomless pit."
Zhang Ju, who had come to watch the fun, disagreed when she heard Li Dong'er's words: "Daughter-in-law of the Su family, what are you talking about? The third Jiang family hasn't split up, so of course all the money they earn belongs to the public. Didn't the second son also hand over the money he earned? That's why your Jiang Xincai has no chance of marrying you. What's wrong? If the second son gets married, your family won't say a word. That's not the way it works in our village."
It has never been separated. All the money earned is handed over to the public. This has been a rule left in the village since ancient times and has never been broken, unless the boys in the family have all started families and can divide the family.
Generally, everyone celebrates together, which makes the children appear filial.
Li Dong'er listened to Zhang Ju's words and sneered: "You are a widow, what do you know? It is the father's duty for Jiang Xin to marry a wife, but no matter what the wife does after she enters the house, shouldn't the man give his wife the money he earns?"
Everyone was arguing about right and wrong, which made Jiang Xin feel embarrassed.
He immediately stood up and threw a vicious word at Ning Dani: "I want to divorce you. I can't afford a daughter-in-law like you."
Ning Dani was stunned when she heard this. After a moment, she rushed towards Jiang Xin and yelled, "You ungrateful thing, why did you divorce me? I did what Qichu did to you, and you divorced me. I will never let you go."
Jiang Yongtian was completely embarrassed today, his brows knitted together. He wanted to speak out to stop them, but Ge Shuzhen stopped him: "Since it has already come to this, let them make a fuss. If we don't make a fuss, we will never know what the children are thinking."
I originally thought that although the eldest brother's wife was silly, she was still sincere in living with the eldest brother and her heart was still at home. But now I see that she is not just obsessed with money.
After all this trouble, Jiang Yongtian decided to clean up his house.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yongtian did not do any work, but instead invited his two brothers and father to come over, and he wanted to clean up the family business with drastic measures.
In the main room.
Jiang Wuli sat on the armchair smoking a cigarette, while his three sons were killed. Jiang Xin was kneeling in the main room, with Ning Dani, who was beaten black and blue, beside him. Jiang Shan and Jiang Kexin were standing next to Ge Shuzhen.
Jiang Yongtian said sadly, "Jiang Xin, your mother and I always had some problems back then. The money you and Jiang Shan earned almost went to our medical treatment. We finally saved up some money to marry you off, but you never expected that cheap things wouldn't be good, and you ended up marrying a selfish woman."
After saying this, he sighed deeply, "Your wife said today that it's your mother and I's responsibility to marry you off. That's true, but we certainly shouldn't ask for your earnings. But ask yourself, in the one and a half years since you've been married, have your mother and I ever asked for a single cent of your earnings?"
"No, not only have we never asked for a penny, but you two both eat and live at home. Have you ever paid a penny for food?"
Jiang Yongtian said with tears in his eyes, "I haven't contributed a penny. All the food and clothes you've been eating and wearing for more than a year have been earned by Lao Er. Has Lao Er ever complained about you?"
Jiang Xin shook his head in shame, and Ning Dani tied her head and said nothing.
"Originally, the money you earned from your marriage should have gone to your family, and then divided up after your second son got married. But your mother thought that now that you were married, you should live a good life. With money in your pocket, you can go to your father-in-law's house with your head held high. You never thought that your mother's good intentions would be met with such cruelty from you in the end."
Jiang Yongtian slapped his thigh angrily, lowered his head and started coughing.
"His father, why waste time talking to this bastard? Just kick him out." Ge Shuzhen felt sorry for her husband and said while patting his back.
Jiang Xin kowtowed three times to his father. "Dad, I'm sorry to you, to Mom, and to my brother. It's my fault for not disciplining Ning Dani well... I don't want this daughter-in-law. Even if I have to be a bachelor in the future, I won't regret it. I want to divorce her today. Please ask Grandpa and Uncle to be witnesses."
Jiang Xin was determined to divorce Ning Dani. No matter whether Ning Dani agreed or not, he had to divorce her today.
Ning Dani strained to open her swollen face and shook her head in disbelief: "You can't divorce me, I didn't do anything wrong."
"Of the seven grounds for divorce, being unfilial to one's parents and being childless, you already meet two of them."
After saying that, Jiang Xin looked at his grandfather and said, "Please write a divorce letter for me and I'll put my fingerprints on it."
Jiang Wuli looked at his grandson's talk of divorcing his wife, and then he looked at Jiang Yongtian: "What do the third brother and his wife think?"
Jiang Yongtian and Ge Shuzhen exchanged a glance, then shook their heads: "The child is grown up and has his own ideas. We old couple can't control him anymore."
"Please let grandpa decide." Jiang Xin kowtowed but did not stand up. It seemed that he had made up his mind.
Seeing this, Jiang Wuli sighed softly, put down his pipe, and prepared to write a letter of divorce, but was stopped by Ning Dani, who had a bruised face and nose. She said firmly: "He can't divorce me."
Hearing this, Jiang Xin raised his head, glared at her with red eyes, and yelled at her: "Bullshit, I will divorce you today."
"I am pregnant."
The word "she's pregnant" shocked everyone in the Jiang family.
Ke Xin's eyelids were twitching wildly. My goodness, this sister-in-law is really strong. She aborted the baby twice in three days. Is this child's life tougher than hers?
