At this moment, Lin Xiang heard his son crying and hurriedly came out of the house. He felt a little embarrassed when he saw Jiang Yuwei holding the baby.
Jiang Yuwei immediately stood up and handed Xiaobao to Lin Xiang.
When Xiao Bao saw that it was his father, he quickly hugged Lin Xiang's neck and cried out:
"Daddy, Xiaobao doesn't want to be a thief's child, sob sob..."
Upon hearing the child's words, Lin Xiang gritted his teeth and said:
"Alright, Xiaobao isn't the thief's child. Dad will write a letter of divorce for your mother right now!"
After saying that, he turned to Jiang Yuwei and said shyly:
"Um, I can't read, could you please write me a letter of divorce?"
Jiang Yuwei nodded and went inside to get paper and pen and started writing. Actually, Jiang Yuwei was very happy to help with this.
Now that Lin Xiang has divorced Cuiya, Cuiya will have no reason to cause trouble for Aunt Lin anymore. In this way, Master and Mistress can spend their old age in peace in this small courtyard.
That way, even if Jiang Yuwei leaves tomorrow, she can rest assured.
Jiang Yuwei quickly finished writing the letter of divorce and took it out. Lin Xiang first signed and pressed his fingerprint on it, then turned around and threw the letter of divorce to Cuiya, coldly saying:
"Hurry up and put your fingerprints on so you can pack your things and head home before dawn!"
Seeing that Lin Xiang was serious, Cuiya cried out:
"Lin Xiang, I've worked so hard to take care of this family and gave birth to your adorable son, Xiao Bao. Did you know how hard that was for me? And now you want to kick me out with just a divorce letter? Even if you kill me, I won't sign it!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiang was instantly enraged. He immediately put the baby he was holding on the ground, turned around and went into the kitchen. He quickly came out holding a cleaver.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish! It's good that you're dead; it'll end everything and save us from being implicated by you every day!"
When Cuiya saw Lin Xiang holding the kitchen knife, her legs went weak with fear, and she wet her pants. Then she cried and said:
"No, no, I'll sign, I'll sign right now, okay?"
As he spoke, he shakily pressed his fingerprint on the letter of divorce, then scribbled his name on it haphazardly, before leaning on the table and shakily standing up.
Jiang Yuwei stepped forward, took the letter of divorce, checked it, and seeing that there were no problems, handed it to the two of them, saying:
"Since we're parting ways, let's part amicably. Cuiya, you should hurry back, pack your things, and leave!"
After saying that, Jiang Yuwei watched the two leave the hospital before pulling the terrified Xiao Bao into the house.
Aunt Lin was sitting on the kang (a heated brick bed) wiping away tears, so Jiang Yuwei spoke up:
"Master's wife, Lin Xiang has come to his senses and divorced Cuiya, which is a good thing. After so many years together, you know best what kind of person Cuiya is. Now that Lin Xiang has divorced Cuiya, are you reluctant to let her go?"
Aunt Lin hugged Xiao Bao, who had been carried to the edge of the kang by Jiang Yuwei, and sobbed as she said:
"From now on, Xiaobao will be a child without a mother's love. Lin Xiang is already this age, and it will probably be difficult for him to find another wife. I don't have any extra money to help Lin Xiang get married. Sigh, what will he do all by himself in the future!"
Jiang Yuwei also sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), smiled, patted Aunt Lin's shoulder, and said:
“If you don’t want to look for him, then don’t. I think Lin Xiang is doing just fine living alone. Anyway, you and my master are there to look after Xiao Bao for him, and he can go out to work and earn money. When he’s hungry at home, he can just come to your yard to eat and see his son. Since your two houses are close by, you can go to his yard and help him tidy up and cook a meal when you have time.”
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei reached out and patted Xiaobao's head again.
“Xiao Bao is so young, it’s good that Lin Xiang didn’t find someone else. To put it bluntly, if he were to bring someone like Cui Ya into the family, Xiao Bao would never have a good life.”
As she spoke, Jiang Yuwei took out a handkerchief and wiped away Aunt Lin's tears.
“Master’s wife, don’t cry. You and my master are both married at our age, while Lin Xiang is so young. If he really meets the right person, it’s not too late for him to get married. He can save up his own money to get married then. You’re already this old, so don’t think so much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You and my master should just enjoy your old age.”
After hearing Jiang Yuwei's words, Aunt Lin, who was still crying, felt that this might not be a bad thing. Aunt Lin had always thought that it was okay for her to suffer a little grievance, after all, Cuiya was the one who would spend her whole life with her son, and it was not worth letting her son damage his relationship with Cuiya because of her.
But that Cuiya was also a woman who took advantage of his kindness. If she hadn't caused such a scene last night, making his family lose face, Lin Xiang wouldn't have thought of divorcing his wife. After all, divorcing one's wife is a big deal.
If Lin Xiang doesn't divorce Cuiya this time, he and Miaoshou Zhu will never have a peaceful life in the future. Right now, Jiang Yuwei's family is still living in the courtyard, and Cuiya dares to openly come and steal things. If Jiang Yuwei and her family move away in the future, won't he and Miaoshou Zhu, the two old people, be bullied to death by her?
Now that Lin Xiang has driven Cuiya away, she takes care of Xiaobao for him and occasionally goes to his yard to help tidy up and cook. So Lin Xiang doesn't go hungry, since she was the one who did all the chores before.
Aunt Lin finally understood and stopped crying. Smiling, she took Jiang Yuwei's hand and said:
“Yuwei, you’re right. Cuiya’s stay in Zhuxiang was just a title. She was called Xiaobao’s mother and Linxiang’s wife, but she didn’t do anything decent! Now that we’ve driven her away, I feel much better. Your master and I can finally live in peace.”
Seeing that she had finally persuaded Aunt Lin, Jiang Yuwei breathed a sigh of relief.
“Master’s wife, it’s best that you can think positively. There’s still hope for the future. Just take good care of your health and help Lin Xiang take care of Xiao Bao for a few more years. That will be a great help to him.”
Aunt Lin laughed when she heard this:
"Yes, I must take good care of my health. I want to see my eldest grandson get married someday."
As she spoke, Aunt Lin slowly lay down.
"Yuwei, you go ahead and do your work. Just leave Xiaobao on the kang (heated brick bed) and let him play by himself. I'll keep an eye on him. I need to rest for a few more days to prevent my back from becoming chronic and making it impossible to take care of the child later!"
Seeing Aunt Lin say that, Jiang Yuwei smiled and opened the door to go out. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw Liu Shi unloading things from the oxcart.
"Why are you closing up shop so early today? Have you sold everything?"
Liu smiled and turned around, saying:
"It's not just sold out, it's practically not enough to meet demand! Wang Tianba, the young master of the Wang family, came to our stall early this morning with a group of his underlings and friends for lunch. After they finished eating, they helped us attract customers. Before we even started selling, everything was gone!"
