Aunt Wang stepped forward to smooth things over, "That's her dowry, it's only natural that she should take it back."
After being glared at by her old man, Old Mrs. He didn't dare to act like a troublemaker anymore and stood aside with a sour face.
The Third Uncle on the side waved his hand and said, "It doesn't matter who speaks, as long as they speak reasonably."
It would have been fine if she hadn't said it, but after she did, Mrs. He felt even more embarrassed.
Then he said to Su Qing and He Aiqing beside him: "I don't care whether you two divorce in the end or not, I want to express my position first.
If you can still live, talk about the conflict today and live happily together tomorrow.
If we can't live together anymore, let's deal with it today. How to divorce and how to divide things. Let's make it clear all at once. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other whether we get married or not."
The village chief looked at Su Qing with an awkward expression, then turned to ask He Aiqing, "What about you?"
"Divorce! Su Qing can't give birth to a son, and I don't want to be the last one to leave the family."
One reason left everyone speechless.
You have to know that in that era, especially in the countryside, if you didn't have a son, you would be considered a family without a son.
There are many people who give birth to seven or eight children just to have a son.
Therefore, this reason for divorce seemed reasonable to everyone, and those who had originally felt sorry for Su Qing also shut up in embarrassment.
The village chief sighed silently and said, "Since you've decided to divorce, how are you going to divide your things?"
Old Mrs. He stood next to He Aiqing, staring at Su Qing fiercely, as if warning her not to ask for too much.
Su Qing naturally knew the nature of the He family. They would definitely not give his things if he asked for them rashly, so he planned to use a roundabout tactic.
"Village head, He Aiqing's monthly salary is 30 yuan. As her daughter-in-law, I should get half of it. But I haven't seen a penny in all the years I've been married to the He family."
When Mrs. He heard that Su Qing was still thinking about He Aiqing's salary, she was so angry that she jumped to her feet.
"We in the He family provide you with food and clothing. We have done the most for you. And you still have the nerve to ask for money."
Su Qing chuckled, "If a grown man works ten work points a day, I have to work ten work points a day, otherwise I won't have anything to eat. That's fine, my daughter is only a few years old, and you're telling her to wash your daughter's feet, clothes, and empty the chamber pot.
What? Your daughter is a rich landlord and still needs someone to serve her? Village chief, this kind of custom is not popular nowadays.
My mother and I, mother and daughter, do the most tiring work in Lao He's house, but we eat the least and are the most tired. To put it bluntly, with the work points I earn, we can only eat until we are 40% full, but in your Lao He's house, we can only get the minimum.
We don’t even know who will have to give up the clothes we wear before it’s our turn.
Si Ya is your granddaughter, but you just don't care about the life and death of us mother and daughter when you see it's another girl. If it weren't for the kind aunts in the village who helped us, it would be a question whether Si Ya could survive.
Is this what you mean by providing me with food and clothing?"
Su Qing's words resonated with many people.
In a short while, many women turned to Su Qing's side and attacked Old Lady He.
But Old Mrs. He disagreed.
"It's normal to have few children these days. You're just a money-loser anyway. Besides, you can't even give birth to a son, and you still want to share my He family's money. You're really a piece of shit."
"I married your son when I was eighteen, and I'm only twenty-four now. It's not like I can't have children. In the final analysis, you just want to find someone for He Aiqing and kick me out."
Old Mrs. He was still wondering, no one knew that she was secretly helping He Aiqing to read fortunes, so how did this money-losing guy know about it.
Su Qing just made up an excuse, but he didn't expect it to be right by accident.
The village chief was very impatient and yelled at Old Lady He, "What are you arguing about? We are dealing with a couple's affairs now, why are you meddling in their affairs?"
"Soon they won't be a couple anymore. Don't get her involved with my He family. It's bad luck."
"As long as I don't issue a certificate, they are a couple."
Old Mrs. He was afraid that the two would be inseparable, so she shut up after the village chief finished speaking, but her fierce eyes never left Su Qing.
Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Su Qing spoke slowly: "If it's mine, I won't keep a single cent. If it's not mine, I won't take a single cent. So, Mrs. He, don't look at me like that. If you don't know, you might think I'm taking advantage of your He family."
Since they were getting divorced anyway, Su Qing didn't want to call her mother-in-law anymore against her conscience.
"When I first married into the He family, I brought a dowry of 66 yuan, a cabinet, and a quilt. I didn't care about anything else, I just wanted these things.
But I remember you gave the quilt cover I brought as a dowry to He Aihua. I don't have the habit of picking up trash, so just convert the quilt cover into money and give it to me."
When Old Mrs. He heard this, she felt as if her heart was being stabbed.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you married into my He family, your things will naturally follow my He family's name. Don't go too far."
"You old thing are only interested in the things of the He family, but I am not interested in my things. If you don't give them to me, I will stay in the He family forever.
I haven't had a good look at the new house yet, and I don't know if what the immortal said is right. Once I go in, the descendants of the He family will really... "
"Shut up, get back, get back now, get as far away from me as possible."
If a look could kill a person, then Su Qing had been whipped countless times in Old Lady He's eyes.
"I won't agree to sign the divorce papers until I get my things back."
Now He Aiqing became impatient and urged Old Mrs. He to go back and get her things.
"There can't be even a single scratch, otherwise I'll have to pay the full price."
Old Mrs. He almost fell down when she heard Su Qing's words. How did this little bitch know her plan?
