Chapter 69 Divorce
They destroyed mountains and burned forests, cutting off the villagers' sources of income. They also sued Jiang, causing disgrace in the government office and being beaten with a stick by the officials. Several of their sons were thrown into jail. When these things happened, people felt it was unlucky to speak to them any more.
After driving them out of Wangjia Village, the oldest uncle in the village took out the ancestral tablets of Old Man Wang's lineage from the ancestral hall and told them to take them away.
This was a way to completely separate them from Wangjia Village and never let them return.
This time, it was Old Man Wang who fainted from anger.
Wang Erya also took advantage of the presence of the village head and the elders in the village to propose that the fourth brother's wife and Wang Laosi divorce, and the three of them, mother and daughter, severed their ties with the Wang family.
This time, Wang Laosi volunteered to go to jail on behalf of Old Wang and his wife without discussing it with his wife and daughters.
Erya has completely given up on Wang Laosi.
She threatened to commit suicide to persuade the fourth son's wife to divorce Wang Lao Si. They would rather not have such a foolish and filial father.
The fourth son's wife was originally a woman without her own opinion, and the fourth son listened to her. Now that the fourth son is in jail, only his daughter is left, so naturally he listens to his daughter.
That's how the divorce was proposed.
Mrs. Wang Liu was so angry that she scolded Erya, calling her unfilial, conscienceless, and despising her father who was in prison. Erya was unmoved and was determined to get away from the Wang family. She said that the three of them, mother and daughter, would leave the house with nothing and would not take anything from the Wang family.
Later, Mrs. Wang Liu thought that the main laborer, Wang Laosi, had already been imprisoned, so there was no great use in keeping the fourth room. It would be good if it could reduce the number of people to eat.
Anyway, the grandchildren in the family are all in their teens, so even if we don’t have a son, they can still support the family.
But she refused to give in. Finally, Erya borrowed ten taels of silver from Jiang and compensated the old Wang family. Only then did Wang Liu Po agree to let the fourth son's wife divorce, and the fourth son's family left the old Wang family.
At the end, he cursed them for kicking someone when they were down, saying they would never have a good death, abandoning their husbands and parents-in-law when disaster struck, and calling Erya a vicious, ungrateful wolf, saying no one would want her in the future, and that after she died she would become an old lady and have no descendants...
In short, just curse whatever is unpleasant to the ear.
Old Wang's family was driven out of the village. They took away all the things they could take with them, leaving only their house. Mrs. Wang Liu didn't want to leave anything good for them.
Just burn it down with a big fire to save Erya and her daughter from having to live there.
Erya and her daughter had nowhere to go, so they moved into the small shed where Jiang and her son had lived before, and stayed there for the time being.
The matter of Old Wang’s family has come to an end for the time being.
Later, it was heard that Old Man Wang and Mrs. Wang Liu had the audacity to try to visit their youngest daughter again, but the whole family was kicked out.
As a result, Mr. Ji was beaten with a stick, paid compensation, and was imprisoned. Mrs. Ji hated the Wang family so much that she not only kicked the Wang family out, but also kicked Wang Qiuju out. Wang Qiuju also hated the Wang family for implicating her. Her originally good status as a concubine was ruined by the Wang family.
Later, when Ji Yuanwai was released from prison, Wang Qiuju secretly went to Ji Yuanwai to cry and plead with him, hoping that he would remember their past and take her back. Ji Yuanwai had lost all his reputation in Shili Town because of this concubine. He was furious and had no place to vent his anger. Coincidentally, Wang Qiuju came back to him and he beat her half to death and sold her to a brothel.
Of course, this is all in the past.
***
On the night after driving out Old Wang's family, Jiang Lianzhu brought Dabao and the others to the home of the village head uncle.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Lianzhu expressed her gratitude.
"Uncle, thank you for keeping the severance letter for my mother and me. You are really thoughtful. If it weren't for you, we would have been completely screwed by Lao Wang's family this time."
Dabao took Erbao and Sanbao, the three little ones, and solemnly bowed to the village head.
"Thank you, Grandpa Lizheng."
In the past two days, the village head has been busy with the affairs of Old Wang's family, going around here and there. He is old and is quite tired. His body can't take it and he looks exhausted.
Accompanied by his wife, he had just finished washing up and was smoking a pipe.
"Don't be polite, as long as the matter is resolved, it's all good. It's all because of that Wang Dejing's inaction, causing chaos in our Wangjia Village. It's better to kick them out now, so that one bad apple won't spoil the whole bunch."
Then, he said to his wife, "I'll take out some melon seeds for Dabao and the others. Are you guys scared too? Don't be afraid, everything is fine now."
My wife responded and left with a smile.
Erbao quickly replied, "Grandpa, we are not afraid." Mother is here and she will protect them.
Jiang Lianzhu was still holding a few kilograms of autumn pear paste in her hand. "Uncle, you should smoke less in the future and eat more of this autumn pear paste."
The village head uncle declined, "I don't need it. This thing is precious. I can sell it for silver. I have already wasted two days making it. I can sell it for silver."
Dabao said, "Grandpa, these few pounds are not a big deal. This is a small token of our appreciation. Please accept it."
The old uncle, the village head, smiled cheerfully and said, "Okay, I'll try this new thing too."
This must be worth several taels of silver.
Since he insisted on giving it, he had done a favor to the mother and children after all, and it would seem too hypocritical to refuse it again and again.
The village head's wife came over with some homemade roasted pumpkin seeds and gourd seeds. When she saw the several kilograms of autumn pear paste, she made some polite remarks before accepting it.
Country people don’t have much delicious food, so they collect the seeds of old pumpkins and gourds, dry them, fry them, and give them to children as snacks. They are very popular.
It smells very good.
Erbao grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds and handed it to his sister without hesitation.
Let your sister eat first, then you start eating.
"Wow, it smells so good! Thanks, grandma!"
"If it smells good, eat more. Take this bowl back and enjoy it slowly."
"Grandma, if you say so, then we won't be polite!"
While chatting and laughing, Jiang Lianzhu revealed her true purpose.
"Uncle, I have a plan I want to discuss with you."
The village head uncle said, "If you have any other difficulties, just tell me directly. I will help you in any way I can. This time, you were also badly hurt by Lao Wang's family. What happened is over. If anyone says anything gossipy about you behind your back in the future, don't listen. There are always those who are jealous and can't control their mouths."
He thought she was worried about her reputation.
Jiang Lianzhu smiled. "No, uncle, I don't care about my reputation. If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. What I want to say is that I plan to give you the recipe for Qiuli Paste..."
The village head thought he had misheard, "What did you say?"
The village head's wife was also stunned.
Including the three cubs, they were a little surprised. Their mother didn't tell them when they came.
