Chapter 53: Yu Zhen and Liu's Divorce

The third branch of the Yu family was thriving, but the first branch of the Yu family was working in vain.

Yu Hongdou exited the teaching mode contentedly and was happily eating the breakfast left by her mother when she heard her aunt yell, followed by a commotion.

She peeked through the door and saw her grandparents standing at the main entrance, her uncle supporting her aunt, her eldest cousin standing at the door of the big room, and her second cousin sticking half of her head out of the window of the second room.

My eldest cousin stood in front of the elders like a criminal.

Behind the eldest cousin were Liu and her cousin, whom Yu Hongdou had just met yesterday. After that, standing at the gate was Liu's brother Liu Yong.

Did they let the Liu family block them in the yard? They just wanted to solve the problem, what's wrong? Are they planning something bad?

Yu Hongdou suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Everyone in the family, young and old, her uncle and aunt were incompetent, and her cousin was also a coward.

Among the two cousins, only Hu Tao can make a fuss, but there are two young men on the opposite side after all, and the second cousin is a girl and it is easy for her to suffer a loss.

It seems that hunter Yu Hongdou has to take action.

Yesterday’s harvest gave Yu Hongdou a great boost of confidence. Of course, she did not rush out blindly and shout “Hunting time”, but just quietly hid at the door, holding a slingshot, ready to attack at any time.

Wangwang came over and wanted to lick his owner, but when he saw that she seemed very alert, he also became nervous and half-crouched at Yu Hongdou's feet, as if he was ready to rush out at any time.

However, surprisingly, cousin Liu, who had spoken to Mr. Yu in a very rude manner yesterday, was much more amiable today, and even a little polite.

"Yu Zhen, my cousin and you were married, and now it's not easy for her to come back. It's not easy for a woman to live in this world. Is it not too much for you to give my cousin five taels of silver?"

"If you want the baby in her belly, you can give my cousin another five taels of silver as compensation. After all, giving birth hurts a woman's body."

"If you don't want the child, then sign a written agreement. From now on, whether the child lives or dies, it has nothing to do with your Yu family."

Perhaps what the cousin said touched Liu, and she was now covering her face and crying.

Yu Hongdou was so annoyed by the crying.

The feud between them and the Liu family and the first wife was settled on the surface after the separation of the family because the third wife decided to build a house and move out early, but it did not prevent her from making a note of it in Xiao Hei's account.

Before, Yu Zhen didn't want Liu, but after being taught a lesson by his master, he had to swallow this fly. Now, Liu doesn't want to come back, or even if she wants to come back, she can't.

From Liu's reluctance to leave her cousin yesterday and her cousin's tough words, it can be seen that Liu has been controlled.

Yu Dalang was sweating profusely and his face turned blue. He pointed at Liu and her cousin and stuttered without uttering a word.

After Zhang finished howling, she started to curse: "You little whore, you are disrespectful to your parents-in-law, you don't serve your husband, you have caused discord in the family, and you still want to compensate, you are a piece of shit!"

"You heartless bitch..." As she cursed, Zhang fell backwards, which showed that she was really angry.

"Okay! I agree to the divorce and I also agree to give the money. I will raise the child. We have been husband and wife, so we should part ways amicably. From now on, marriage between men and women has nothing to do with each other. I will go to the village chief to write a document now." Yu Zhen, who had been silent all the time, finally looked up.

It was the first time he scolded his mother, the first time he bravely raised his head, looked at the elders present, and then knelt in front of them.

"Grandma and grandpa, I'm really sorry for making you worry about our affairs. It's because of your irresponsibility that things have become like this. Mom and Dad, since Liu and I can't live together anymore, please help me!"

After saying that, he kowtowed to the four elders, and his forehead hit heavily on the bluestone in the yard, and it swelled up instantly.

"Son, you can't let it go so easily..." Zhang wanted to look at her son, but when she saw her mother-in-law's gloomy face, she stammered and stopped talking.

"Hazelnut, get up quickly. Your grandparents have agreed, and so have your parents. Zhang will go get the silver. I'll give you five taels first, and then another five taels after the child is born. Write it all down on the receipt." Old Madam Yu glared at her eldest daughter-in-law.

"Well, we can't live like this anymore. Boss, just treat it as a loving son and take the ten taels." Seeing his wife speak, Grandpa Yu also responded.

Yu Dalang had his own plans, but he knew that his parents would not cheat him. Since he and his wife were unsure, it would be right to listen to them. So he agreed silently and winked at his wife to go and get the money.

Zhang was afraid of her mother-in-law and had to listen to her husband, so she had to give the silver to her son reluctantly.

The farce ended so anticlimactically, and Yu Hongdou felt a little unsatisfied.

She looked at her grandparents who had already turned around and gone into the house, and her aunt who was still complaining to her uncle but didn't dare to speak loudly, and then she saw that her eldest cousin had disappeared, but the window of the second room was not closed.

Yu Hongdou smiled, pointed the slingshot at the window of the second room and shot a marble with a "bang".

Half a head soon appeared from the window of the second room. Yu Hongdou lifted Wangwang up and shook it towards that side, making a "puff puff" sound from her mouth.

She was responded by the sound of a window closing with a bang, and then a pair of footsteps quickly ran towards the third room.

"Second sister, come here." Yu Hongdou led her second cousin into the house.

She took out a handful of ginkgo nuts and a handful of dried dates from her snack cabinet, and poured two cups of boiled water from the teapot, treating them as side dishes to go with her gossip, and prepared to have a good meal with her good second sister, her melon-eating partner.

"You are talking about sister-in-law, oh, Liu is really divorced, can brother fulfill his wish?" Before Yu Hongdou asked the question first, Hu Tao started the topic.

"It's hard to say. Didn't they say that Liu Xingniang can't give birth? I think it will have to wait until Liu gives birth first." Yu Hongdou said softly.

The ancients placed great emphasis on having children. Regardless of whether Liu was carrying a boy or a girl, just the issue of the child would make it difficult for my uncle and aunt to agree to marry Liu Xingniang.

"Second sister, why do we have to go to the village chief for the divorce? Shouldn't we go to the government office?" Yu Hongdou was a little puzzled.

Regardless of ancient or modern times, in novels about reconciliation, divorce certificates and divorce letters must be sent to the official notary office before they become legally effective.

Yu Hongdou, who had seen too many “we haven’t divorced yet” and “the divorce agreement doesn’t count” plots, felt that since this matter concerned her future, she should ask more questions.

Of course, it would be better if there were relevant legal provisions and books to read, but unfortunately she is still a netizen now.

"I heard from Xiulan before that for these things that are not urgent and do not want to delay the official business of the government, the village heads will usually report to the government for the seal at a unified time. Otherwise, the government will be overwhelmed if it handles these matters every day." Hu Tao really knew.

Xiulan is the only unmarried daughter of the village chief. Because she has a father who is the village chief and a brother who passed the imperial examination, she is very popular in the village. Many young ladies are willing to go to the village chief's house to find Xiulan and talk and embroider with her.

Speaking of Xiulan, Hu Tao seemed to suddenly remember something. She stretched her neck to look outside, leaned close to her little cousin's ear, and whispered, "I heard that Xiulan also likes that young man."

"..." What a disaster. Yu Hongdou's case was blamed on everyone. No need to guess who Xiulan fell in love with, it must be the oldest one.

"Not only has he taken a liking to her, he also wants the village chief to find someone to act as a matchmaker." Hu Tao revealed even more information and, by the way, made up a standard crooked mouth for the Crooked-Mouth Dragon King.

Yu Hongdou just sneered at the wishful thinking of the village head's daughter and eldest cousin. She rolled her eyes, stared at her second sister, and asked mischievously, "Eldest sister Xiulan has no chance, but second sister, what do you think about setting up a stall?"
