Wu then turned to Li Erlang and said, "Erlang, go back and write a divorce agreement! We'll go to his house this afternoon and have him sign it!"
Upon hearing this, Li Erlang stood up and went back to prepare.
After the commotion, the housework piled up like a mountain, and Mrs. Wu directed the children to clean it up.
Everyone spent the morning busy.
After Li Erlang finished writing the divorce letter, he read it to Old Man Li and asked if there was anything that needed to be revised.
Mrs. Wu asked her daughter, "When you got married, is the dowry your mother gave you still there?"
"I used all the cloth my mother gave me to make new clothes and bedding for them, and I also spent all the five taels of silver I gave her as a dowry. Now, that family only has a few sets of clothes!"
When Wu heard her daughter say this, she felt sad again: "Then we don't want them all. Mother will make you new clothes. We want to have a brand new look!"
Mr. Li said, "If that's the case, then go ahead and do it. Let's get this matter over with as soon as possible so the girl can put her burdens aside and start anew!"
Li Xiaomei took the divorce papers from her brother's hand and pressed her fingerprint on it.
Mrs. Wu put away the documents and took her two sons to Liujia Village.
When Wu arrived at Liu's house, there was an ox cart parked in front of the house, and the cart was filled with various daily necessities.
All I heard was Zhang's instructions: "Be careful, take care of my furniture!"
Because of the commotion, many villagers gathered outside the door to watch.
When Zhang saw Wu and her group, she couldn't help but curl her lips: "Oh, the in-laws are here, why isn't my wife back?"
Wu's chest heaved with anger at her tone. She took a deep breath and retorted, "Why are you replying? Where's your son? Let him come out and talk to me!"
Hearing her tone, Zhang felt angry. Wu had never spoken to her in such a tone before.
He suppressed his dissatisfaction and said calmly, "Of course my son has gone back to the academy. He's not like some idle people who stay at home all day!"
Wu heard her say this, which was obviously a mockery of her own son, and she rudely retorted, "I came here to look for your son today. Since he's not at home, I don't bother to waste time talking to you."
He took out the divorce agreement signed by his daughter from his bosom and handed it to Qing Niangzi standing beside him: "Wait for Liu Zhong to come back, give this to him, and have him sign it. From now on, they will have nothing to do with each other!"
Zhang was obviously stunned when she heard her say this.
He quickly took out the divorce book and wanted to see if it was real. When he got it in his hand, he remembered that he couldn't read at all.
Looking at the arrogant Wu, Zhang hurriedly said, "What divorce agreement? Even if it doesn't work out, it's my son who wants to divorce your daughter!" As she said that, she was about to tear up the contract.
The people standing at the door looking out had no idea there was gossip. Someone familiar with the Liu family hurriedly asked, "What's going on? Are they going to divorce?"
Zhang cried and said, "Everyone, please judge for yourself. This little sister Li has been married into my family for many years, but she hasn't given birth to a son or daughter. I have no choice but to take a concubine for my son to continue the family line. Is this reasonable?"
Everyone was fooled by her and thought it made sense. Some villagers stepped forward to persuade her: "Aunt Wu, Aunt Zhang is right. It will be the same if we raise the child with our younger sister. Why are you so impulsive to divorce?"
Wu listened to everyone's discussion and felt unhappy. "If this hadn't happened to your daughter, you wouldn't have felt any pain!"
