Ling Jiang thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
Yun Mo looked at Li Li again, "Sister-in-law, what do you think?"
"I agree with the additional 5 yuan each for the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, but there are too few for the New Year. If you need to buy new clothes and buy new year goods for the New Year, you will need at least dozens of yuan."
Hearing Li Li's lion mouth, Yun Mo smiled half-heartedly, "Sister-in-law, you know, eldest brother didn't have to pay a penny.
You cheated during your marriage, made your eldest brother a cuckold for five years, and raised someone else's son for five years. This alone is enough for you to take Ling Jiale out of the house!
My eldest brother not only allowed you to take away the furniture, but was also willing to give you money and food, which is already the most benevolent thing. My eldest sister can choose for herself whether we want to have a good time together or go through the judicial process."
Li Li was shocked by Yun Mo's words and obediently signed the agreement.
In order to save time, Yun Mo directly took a taxi to take the two of them to the door of the Civil Affairs Bureau.
"Brother, when you go in, find a registrar named Liu. She is the aunt of one of my classmates. She can help you process it faster."
"Eh, okay."
It was 4:30 in the afternoon, the sky was overcast, and the wind was blowing on her face like a knife. Yun Mo was stamping her feet while turning away from the wind to prevent her face from being blown by the cold wind.
"Daughter-in-law, do you want to come over and hide for a while?"
Hearing this, Yun Mo looked at the man strangely, "Where can I hide?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other party neatly unbuttoning his cotton-padded coat, revealing his broad chest wearing a black sweater underneath.
Lingchuan pulled away the cotton-padded clothes and said, "Hide in my arms and I will use my clothes to block the wind for you."
"..."
Yun Mo seriously suspected that the other party wanted to take advantage of her.
"No, I'm not cold."
"Your nose is red from the cold."
Yun Mo reached out and touched the tip of her nose. Sure enough, it was cold and it didn't even feel like her nose.
Looking at the man's open cotton-padded jacket, Yun Mo exhaled and rubbed her hands while saying, "Button your clothes first so you don't catch a cold."
"I'm not cold."
Lingchuan replied, but his hands obediently buttoned up the button.
At this time, Yun Mo particularly missed the days when it snowed in winter, eating hotpot mutton in a large heated villa.
"Tomorrow is the winter solstice, let's eat hotpot mutton tonight."
"good."
"Call the eldest brother and Chunhua, as well as Aunt Cuihua and the others. You and eldest brother are not here during this period, and the stall business is all supported by Aunt Cuihua and Zhou Xiaowei. It's very hard for everyone."
"Well, it's up to you."
After buttoning his coat, Lingchuan stepped forward, wrapped her hand with his big hand, and gently rubbed it to warm her hand.
The man's hands were big, with thick and long knuckles, and the palms were covered with hard calluses, which made the back of her hands itch a little, but they were very warm, like a small heater to warm her hands.
Yun Mo looked at him curiously, her almond-shaped eyes blinking so hard that Lingchuan's heart almost melted.
"Daughter-in-law, what's wrong?" he asked softly.
"Are you as hot as the palms of your hands?"
Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, "It should be about the same."
"I'll touch it and see."
After saying that, without waiting for the man to react, Yun Mo suddenly raised her feet and directly stretched her hand through the man's collar.
The first feeling when my hand touched the man's chest was that it was hot and hot, almost like a moving stove.
Compared with the man's hot body temperature, her hand was as cold as a snowball, but the man remained motionless and allowed her hand to stretch under his collar, like a senseless wooden stake.
Yun Mo was a little confused, "Aren't my hands cold?"
"not cold."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pressed her hand under his collar.
Yun Mo struggled to break away, but couldn't. She couldn't help but scolded, "What are you doing?"
Lingchuan smiled and replied, "I'll let you bake it a little longer. Your hand is too cold. Do you want to bake the other hand?"
"Kawako, brothers and sisters, what are you..."
Before Yun Mo had time to speak, her elder brother Ling Jiang came from behind and asked curiously.
She panicked, quickly took her hand back, turned around, and tried to stay calm to explain, "He's itchy. I don't know if there are bugs on his body. I want to check him."
Ling Jiang looked at his younger brother in surprise, "Kuanzi, you don't have lice on your body, do you?"
Lingchuan: "..."
Yun Mo quickly changed the subject with a guilty conscience, "Brother, have you completed the procedures?"
"done."
Ling Jiang took out a small green-covered book from his pocket and handed it to the two of them to read, "Brothers and sisters, I found the registrar named Liu you mentioned, and she did it for us directly."
Seeing the three words "divorce certificate" written in gold on the front, Yun Mo's heart finally fell to the ground.
At this time, Li Li walked up to the three of them angrily, "How many days are left in this month, how do we calculate money and rice?"
Seeing Ling Jiang looking at her, Yun Mo said directly: "Of course, in terms of days, this month has 31 days, which works out to 3 cents and 2 cents per day, and the rice is 3 taels and 2 cents. There are still 6 days before the end of the month, so you can calculate the round number.
Okay, 2 yuan plus 2 pounds of rice."
Li Li immediately stretched out her hand and said, "Bring it here."
Ling Jiang didn't have any rice with him, so he simply converted it into cash and gave Li Li 2 yuan and 50 cents.
"From now on, you can send me money and rice to my house on the 1st of every month."
After saying this, Li Li waved her hands and left without saying hello to anyone else.
Both Ling brothers watched Li Li's retreating figure in silence until Yun Mo said, "Brother, it's getting late, let's go back first."
"Eh, okay."
Returning to the old streets and alleys, I met many neighbors along the way. I saw four people going out and only three came back. They all curiously asked if Ling Jiang had really divorced Li Li.
After getting a positive reply, everyone immediately rushed to tell each other, and soon the news spread throughout the old street.
Back at Ling's house, Yun Mo took out a bunch of keys and said, "Brother, I helped you change the lock on the door this morning. I also installed locks on the main room, the side room and the kitchen. I hope you don't blame me for making my own decisions."
Ling Jiang hurriedly said: "Brothers and sisters, how can we do this? The rooms in this house should have been installed with locks long ago, but the conditions were not good before, and Chunhua's mother was always watching at home, so she kept putting off installing them."
Locks these days are not cheap. A smaller lock costs three yuan. With spare parts such as locks and nails, it costs at least ten yuan to install the locks for three doors.
For the Ling family in the past, ten yuan was a lot of money, so they kept putting off installing the lock because they wanted to save money.
There are three rooms in the main house, the middle room is the main room, and on the left side of the main room is the original bedroom of Ling Jiang and Li Li. Now it has been emptied, leaving only a bare bed with Ling Jiang's old clothes and scraps piled on the bed.
Paper and the like.
Yun Mo turned on the light and looked around the house, "Brother, this house is too old. The floor and walls are badly weathered. There are leaks in many places on the roof. It gets extremely humid when it rains. Living there for a long time is not good for your health."
good."
Ling Jiang sighed, "I have no choice. I have been paying off debts in the past few years. I really can't spare the money to repair this house. Let's wait for another two years."
