Xie Zhenghe asked: "Then what do you want?"
"Xie Zhenghe, Zhaodi gave birth to three children for you and has been with you forever. You can't just let her go empty-handed!"
"Go ahead!"
"1,000 yuan as divorce fee, and you have to return all her dowry to her." Lioness Pan said loudly.
Hiss~
Everyone around gasped. This was crazy! So much money. Although the harvest was good last year, every household received a bonus of around 100 to 200 yuan. With money in their pockets, they were all very satisfied.
But this is a good harvest. In previous years, after a busy year, it was good to have 10 yuan at the end of the year. But Pan Zhaodi's mother asked for 1,000 yuan, which is simply an astronomical figure.
Even Su Li was stunned. He must be crazy about money!
"No, not a penny. Let's just stay together and live like this!" said Xie Zhenghe.
Mother Xie glared at him and said, "No."
Her son is going to get married soon, and it will cost a lot of money. Her daughters are all married, but they are all poor and none of them are obedient.
Only Zhaodi is considerate and gives money and things from time to time, but it is not enough. If I can have a chance to ask for some compensation, maybe I can find a man for Zhaodi and get a lot of dowry.
"Our Zhaodi has suffered enough injustice in your family. We can't let her be helpless for the rest of her life. It's only natural to give her some divorce money."
Pan Zhaodi was touched when she heard her mother say this. She knew that among all the sisters in her family, her mother loved her the most. Her husband's family could not compare to her own family.
"Xie Zhenghe, now that we've come to this, let's get a divorce. Apart from my dowry, I don't want so much money from you, 500 yuan. From now on, we'll go our separate ways. I'll leave the children to you. I don't want any."
Xie's father and mother were so angry when they heard her words. Even Xia Xiuzhi thought she was stupid. Their good family was destroyed by her own mother, and she added fuel to the fire. She was really confused.
Everyone present thought that she was not in her right mind and would regret it sooner or later. Several people who had always disliked her were so happy that they almost put some pumpkin seeds in their pockets to watch the show.
Xie Zhenghe said, "Okay, as you wish! From now on, the three children will have no mother, only a father, and you are not allowed to visit them in the future, Pan Zhaodi, this is your own request, remember it."
After saying that, he turned and went into the yard. Xie's father and mother, Xie Zhengchuan and Su Li, Xie Zhengyang and Xia Xiuzhi, and the children all followed him into the yard.
It was not appropriate for the others to continue watching the fun, so they chatted for a while and then went about their own business.
"Mom, consider this money a loan from me. You will need to take care of the children in the future." Xie Zhenghe said weakly.
"Okay, I'll get you some money. Oh, forget it, forget it. You have to live a good life even if you're alone in the future."
"Yes! I will."
Pan's mother stood beside Pan Zhaodi and stretched her head to look inside. Oh my God, that was 500 yuan. The Xie family really had some. She had to be very gritting her teeth to say it was 1,000 yuan. She didn't even know how to count 1,000 yuan.
But 500 is enough, that would show such great unity!
She had thought it through. She would give 50 yuan to Zhaodi. As a woman, she didn't have a child to take care of, so it was enough.
200 yuan for Jiabao to look at. With so much betrothal gifts, what kind of daughter-in-law can't he marry?
The remaining money will be kept for her retirement. She has worked hard all her life, so Zhaodi must respect her well.
Xie Zhenghe walked up to Pan Zhaodi holding a big unity wrapped in red cloth.
"Count it! This is half. I'll give you the other half after I complete the formalities."
"Humph! I didn't expect you to be so cunning. Why, you don't believe me?"
Xie Zhenghe: "Whatever you think! We'll complete the formalities tomorrow."
After saying that, he turned around and prepared to go into the house. Seeing his calm appearance, Pan Zhaodi couldn't help but vent the anger in her heart. She looked at his back with resentment.
"Xie Zhenghe, do you think that I like you after all these years of marriage? I tell you that I never do. You are just a blockhead who only knows how to work hard every day. What else do you know? You are a useless thing, a coward. If you had listened to me earlier, finished high school, and had a government job, would I look down on you?"
"Now that it's like this, I'll tell you the truth. If you weren't a college student, do you think I would care about you? Only that idiot Yumei would care about you."
Xie Zhenghe turned around and asked, "What did you say?"
"Haha! You don't know! I found out about your secret affair with Yumei. I deliberately fell into the water on your way home from school and waited for you to save me. Not only did I ruin Pan Yumei's marriage and make her marry a poor guy, but I also made myself a city dweller in the future.
It was me who told Yumei that if she didn't marry for me, I would go to the commune to sue you. She was so heartbroken that she got married immediately.
Everything was fine originally, but you, it was you who ruined everything. If you had listened to me and lived in the city now, there wouldn’t be so many troubles.”
When Zhang Guihua heard what Pan Zhaodi said, she felt a mixture of emotions: anger, resentment, and helplessness. For a moment, she couldn't face Pan Zhaodi calmly.
Over the years she always said that she had a great marriage, but she accidentally fell into the river and was rescued by Xie Zhenghe. The two of them were wet and pressed against each other, and if they were seen, she would lose her innocence and go to the commune to sue Xie Zhenghe unless he married her.
After he married her, he often used this excuse to transfer things from home to her parents' home. Her family endured it for many years!
In the end, everything is someone else's calculation.
She had never met Pan Yumei, but she could tell that she was a good girl.
Everyone in the Xie family stared at Pan Zhaodi. They didn't expect that she was so vicious in the past.
Even Pan's mother was stunned by what Pan Zhaodi said.
Xie Zhenghe looked at her coldly, "Pan Zhaodi, our relationship as husband and wife has come to an end."
Pan Zhaodi felt pleased when she saw Xie Zhenghe's dejected and painful expression.
He counted the money in his hand, then turned around and left with Pan's mother.
After we left the house, Xie Laifu shouted at the back.
"Mom, mom, don't you want me anymore?"
"Mom, please take me away! I'm scared!"
Xiangzhi and Xianglan also shouted,
"Mom~"
Xie Lai Fu ran over and grabbed Pan Zhaodi's clothes. Pan Zhaodi felt a pain in her heart, but it only lasted for a moment.
Pan's mother let go of Xie Laifu's hand.
"What do you mean by mom? You have no mother, get out of here!"
Xie Laifu stumbled and fell to the ground. Looking at Pan Zhaodi who was walking further and further away, he stood up and shouted, "Go away, don't come back after you leave. I will never recognize you again. I hate you, I hate you!"
Pan Zhaodi trembled all over. After all, this was the child she had loved for so many years. She wanted to look back, but was afraid that she would not be able to let him go.
So I hardened my heart and walked away quickly without stopping.
Xie Laifu couldn't stop crying. He tried to wipe away his tears but couldn't finish. Suddenly he was picked up. He subconsciously put his hands down. When he saw it was his father, he rested his head on Xie Zhenghe's shoulder.
"Son, don't be afraid. Daddy is here for you. You are a man. You need to be strong and protect your sisters together with daddy, okay?"
Xie Lai Fu uttered "hmm" in a hoarse voice.
Around dusk, Pan Jiabao came with his men on a bullock cart and took away everything that could be moved from Xie Zhenghe's room.
Xie Zhenghe had warned them in advance not to bother with anything they took from the room.
The next day, the two of them got a certificate in the village, which meant they were completely done with each other. Xie Zhenghe also gave the remaining money to Pan Zhaodi as agreed. Before leaving, Xie Zhenghe stopped her and said, "Zhaodi, I have one last piece of advice for you. Keep the money I give you for yourself and save it up!"
Pan Zhaodi's eyes moved. She knew Xie Zhenghe was doing this for her own good, but she still responded stubbornly, "None of your business."
After saying that, he strode away.
