Widow Wang's brother and cousin wanted to step forward to argue, but were stopped by Widow Wang. She shook her head at them, and they understood what she meant and immediately calmed down.
Seeing this, the old village chief breathed a sigh of relief. The only way to solve this problem was to get rid of the rape issue. If it wasn't removed, someone would die. Now that Widow Wang had given in, the rest of the matter would be much easier.
He smiled and said to Liu Weiguo, "Cuihua's brother always tries to reconcile rather than separate. How can you be such a big brother?"
Liu Weiguo was angry and was about to speak, but the old village chief interrupted him with a wave of his hand.
"Listen to me first. Let's get to the point! You've agreed to your sister's divorce simply because of Li Guangcai's rape. Now it's proven to be a misunderstanding, and there's no such thing as rape.
Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. Guangcai may not be a good person, but he's not completely evil either! Although divorce is free, think about it, is it really appropriate for two children to be without a father?
We are not children, we can't say angry words! We have to be responsible for the two children! Today's divorce may make you feel better, but the two children are so young. Even if Cuihua divorces and remarries, she will have more children. Will she still be able to take care of your two nephews?
As the eldest uncle, you can't force your two nephews. Everyone has seen how difficult it is for children without anyone to raise them! Besides, if the two children stay in the Li family, can you really bear to see them being bullied by their stepmother? "
Liu Weiguo looked at his brothers and then at his sister. She kept crying, perhaps thinking about her two children.
He looked up to the sky and sighed. He really wanted his sister to divorce. Li Guangcai was irresponsible and not even a man. Even now, he was just hiding his head like a turtle.
But what the old village chief said was not without reason! The two children were still young. If they really got divorced, although I would take care of them, I also had so many people in my family...
He muttered, "So the Li family is just going to get away with it? Li Guangcai's been a playboy everywhere, and my sister has suffered so much injustice, is she just going to endure it in vain?"
The old village chief did not answer, but went straight to Li Guangcai and slapped him several times in the face.
He was a bit dazed by the beating, but he didn't dare fight back. The old village chief had three brothers, and with the children, there were more than a dozen grown men. If he dared to attack, he might even lose his life today.
After beating the man, the old village chief angrily cursed: "You beast! You stir up trouble all day long. Are you afraid now? You can't control your own crotch and force yourself to eat peanuts?
Do you miss your ancestors so much that you have to rush down to see them? But if you continue like this, will you be worthy of your ancestors, your family, and your two children?
That time you went to report Xiao Zhiqiu, I scolded you for being so ignorant! If your father hadn't asked me to take care of you three siblings when he passed away, I wouldn't have said a word to stop you from getting beaten to death today!
Now I want you to apologize and pay the medical expenses to the Wang and Liu families, and this matter will be over. From now on, you will take good care of Cuihua and live your life. Do you acknowledge it or not?"
Li Guangcai covered his face and nodded quickly, saying, "Uncle, I admit it! I'll compensate you! I'll definitely take care of Cuihua and live a good life from now on. I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to mess around again..."
When Ye Zhiqiu saw this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He really wanted to find an opportunity to kill Li Guangcai.
But what kind of drama is this now? A prodigal son who returns is worth more than gold? A dog is a dog, and it can't change its habit of eating shit!
It's just that it's come to this. If he doesn't provoke me next time, I'll spare his life. If he still shouts and screams, I won't be polite to him!
Ye Zhiqiu didn't consider himself a good person, but just as the village chief had advised him, for the sake of the two children and his ignorance that reporting the case would result in his being sent to a labor camp, he decided to let the matter rest.
There was nothing interesting to see next. He had experienced making apologies before, so he walked back home with his hands behind his back.
After Ye Zhiqiu left, Li Guangcai went home to get the money, paid for the medical expenses and apologized. He also tearfully admitted his mistakes, which softened Liu Cuihua's heart and she finally stopped arguing for a divorce.
At this time, the old village chief pulled him aside and said earnestly, "Do you know why you are in this situation today? You must use your brain when doing things in the future. You almost harmed Xiao Zhiqiu, and now he is repaying you!
Don't offend the Ye family in the future. If you continue to be foolish, it would be better to sever the friendship between our two families because of your father! I don't want to be dragged down by your actions one day!
Think about it, is there anyone in the whole village who can work as a worker in the city?"
After the old village chief said these words, he left Li Guangcai and Liu Cuihua in a daze and slowly walked towards the cafeteria.
He wasn't afraid of Ye Zhiqiu, but he had a good understanding of his nature: a wolf that would take revenge if it came to it! So he really didn't want to provoke the Ye family. As he had said, he would bring his family with him once they entered the city.
A person who hadn't even entered the city yet actually had the confidence to say such things. If it were anyone else, they might think he was just bragging, but if it were Ye Zhiqiu, who had found a job for himself, these words would be too credible.
After Ye Zhiqiu returned home, he fetched water from the water tank and took a shower. July was already the height of summer, with daytime temperatures reaching over 30 degrees Celsius. Even if he didn't work, he'd sweat all over himself climbing up and down the mountain. If he didn't shower, he'd feel greasy and uncomfortable.
After coming out, he found that his family had come back with food and were already eating. After he sat down, he picked up a steamed bun and asked Ye Tianya, "Dad, how much money have you and Mom saved over the years?"
Wang Xiaolan was particularly sensitive to the word "money". She asked defensively, "Why are you asking this? What do you want to do? Son, this is my hard-earned money. It has nothing to do with your father. Don't even think about stealing my money..."
Ye Tianya was stunned. How come this money suddenly had nothing to do with him?
Ye Zhiqiu rubbed his forehead. Sometimes he felt that his brain was too normal and could not keep up with his family's thoughts.
Ye Tianya questioned: "Wife, aren't we a couple? Why does our money have nothing to do with me?"
Wang Xiaolan slammed the table and asked loudly, "Ye Tianya, how much money do you have on you?"
Ye Tianya replied aggrievedly: "How can I have money? I gave you all my money. I don't have a penny..."
Wang Xiaolan said confidently, "That's right! You don't have a penny, so what does my money have to do with you?"
"No, your money is also my money, right?"
"How much money do you have on you?"
"Wife, I really gave you all the money..."
