Seeing that Xiao Wenjing was reluctant to spend the money, Meng Shouyi sneered, "Father-in-law, in my opinion, you should let the two children reconcile. Three hundred taels is not a small amount. Even if you don't eat or drink, you can't earn that much money in your whole life."
"Hey Meng, stop trying to disgust me. It's just three hundred taels of silver. I'll figure something out."
Xiao Wenjing clenched his fists in anger. As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Shouyi couldn't help but burst into laughter again, "Since you agree to return the betrothal gifts, then we'll exchange money for people."
When his father was at a loss, Xiao Jingchuan took out three hundred taels of silver from his pocket and smashed it into Meng Shouyi's cheek with domineering force.
"A mere three hundred taels is nothing to our Xiao family. Quickly have your son write a letter of divorce."
Shen Yunsheng was shocked. Three hundred taels was no small sum. Where did her husband get the money?
Xiao Jingchuan: [Oh no, my wife is suspicious. I'll find another reason to fool her after I get the divorce papers.]
Xiao Wenjing and his wife were also shocked; they never expected their son to be carrying such a large sum of money.
Once he came to his senses, Meng Shouyi quickly picked up the silver note from the ground to check its authenticity.
Only after confirming that the banknotes were genuine did he take his son to the main room to write a letter of divorce.

The agreement explicitly states that Meng Xin voluntarily relinquishes custody of the two children and promises not to interfere in their lives in any way. It also stipulates that if Meng Xin violates this agreement, she will pay a penalty of 100,000 taels of silver.
This ensures that the Meng family will not contest custody of the children for any reason, thus protecting the children's rights and safety.
After receiving the divorce papers, Xiao Jingchuan asked his wife and elder sister to go to the street to pick up his two nieces, while he stayed behind to handle the aftermath.
Seeing that Lin San hadn't left yet, Meng Shouyi deliberately tried to be friendly, saying, "Nephew Jingchuan, actually your brother-in-law wasn't like this before. He only became more and more irritable after his business failed."
Xiao Jingchuan interrupted Meng Shouyi coldly, "Master Meng, I am not interested in your son's affairs. Let's take stock of my eldest sister's dowry first."
