Wu was even more disgusted by the old woman's hypocritical attitude, but she didn't want to let her gain the upper hand in public opinion.
Wu said to the villagers, "You know better than anyone why my daughter hasn't gotten pregnant in all these years. Do you want me to explain it to you?"
Zhang was actually feeling guilty. This was her son's fault. She didn't dare to really provoke the Wu family, as that would affect her son's reputation!
At this time, Qingniang, who was standing aside, interrupted the confrontation very tactfully and pretended to have a stomachache, distracting everyone's attention.
Mrs. Wu stood aside and watched the two people acting and said coldly, "Tell your son to bring us the signed divorce agreement tomorrow. If you don't see it tomorrow, we will meet at the academy the day after tomorrow!" After that, she turned and left.
When they reached the entrance of the village, a voice called them. The three of them stopped and looked back. It turned out to be Wang, the mother of my aunt.
Li Dalang saw that it was his mother-in-law and bowed hurriedly.
Wang waved her hand and caught up with them breathlessly: "My dear relatives, I just heard that my boy said you are here, why don't you come to my house and have a seat!"
When Wu saw that it was Wang, her expression softened. "I won't go to my in-laws' house. I came here today to discuss my younger sister's affairs. My family is waiting for me. I'll ask Dalang's wife to come back for a visit some other day!"
She had just heard from her wife what happened in front of Zhang's door, so she hurried out.
After hearing what her in-laws said, Wang politely escorted the man out of the village.
Wang didn't go home until she could no longer see anyone.
When Wang heard that the Liu family brought back a pregnant woman, she was also shocked.
I am from the same village as Li Xiaomei. It would be terrible if the Li family felt that I was not helping this girl and that their daughter's life would be difficult.
Wang was very satisfied that her daughter could marry into the Li family.
For a girl like our own daughter who is simple-minded and superficial, she is the first one to marry into the Li family. She has generous parents-in-law, an honest and hardworking husband, and smart and obedient children.
Here, Wu and his group of three returned home. Li Xiaomei looked at the returning people eagerly, wanting to know the result.
Her heart was actually hanging in the air, waiting for the dust to settle.
Wu looked at her daughter's anxious eyes and didn't want to tell her about the recent farce, fearing that it would affect her mood. She just said, "Liu Zhong is not at home. Mother asked him to bring us the divorce papers tomorrow morning!"
Li Xiaomei seemed a little worried, afraid that the divorce would not go so smoothly.
Li Erlang comforted him, "Don't worry, sister! He's a smart man and knows how to preserve his reputation!"
Seeing that Li Xiaomei didn't seem to believe him, he continued to explain, "If the news got out that he was keeping a mistress, it would be detrimental to his reputation. He's so focused on the imperial examinations, how could he let something like this hinder his future?"
Yes, if you ask what my husband cares about most in recent years, it must be the imperial examination.
After explaining everything, Old Man Li asked his eldest daughter-in-law to clean up a room.
"I'll bear with you for a while, but next year when I renovate the house, I will build you a new one!" Old man Li said to his youngest daughter.
Li Xiaomei quickly shook her head to show that she was not aggrieved.
Li Yan said: "Aunt, uncle's place is crowded, why don't you come live with us? We have plenty of empty rooms."
Li Xiaomei touched Li Yan's head and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Erya. I want to live with my mother first!"
"Then you can come whenever you want, Auntie. You are always welcome in our home!"
