Mr. Zhang looked a little embarrassed for a moment.
He couldn't express his thoughts directly: Zhao Shuangyu was drugged by his wife. Even if it was still possible to have a child, it would be much more difficult than for other women. Especially when his own son was no longer able to give birth, it would be more difficult for the second child to be born.
People continue to be husband and wife, and if they want to have grandchildren, they can probably only do so in their dreams.
So after much thought, he decided to make the mistake and let Zhao Shuangyu leave, and then find another woman for his son who could bear children. In this way, the hope of having a grandson would be much greater.
It's not that he dislikes Zhao Shuangyu, but that the matter has reached this point and there is no other way to solve it. He is destined to be sorry for the Zhao family.
"Zhao Tongsheng, there is such a quarrel between the couple, and they can no longer go back. Well, this matter is my Zhang family's fault. I also admit that I did not discipline my son well. The betrothal gift I gave to your family before was at that time
The compensation we will give you will let Pisces take away all the dowry later, and I will give you another thousand taels, half of which will be used for your future imperial examinations, and the other half will be considered as additional dowry for Pisces."
What is this all about?
Father Zhao was confused when he heard this.
It is said that a good girl should not marry twice. The misunderstanding has been clearly explained, so why is it that the Zhang family still cannot tolerate a daughter?
"It's better for husband and wife to remain as original spouses..."
Mr. Zhang hurriedly interrupted him: "Once some cracks occur, no matter how much they are repaired, they will never go back to the past. The couple has become a pair of resentful couples. Zhao Tongsheng cannot force anything. One thousand taels of silver is already a lot. Take these."
, you no longer have to worry about spending money on the imperial examination, Pisces can also marry your sweetheart again."
Father Zhao was a scholar, and he was a bit aloof and could not do anything like stalking. Seeing that Mr. Zhang had reached this point, he stopped pestering him and only emphasized: "You voluntarily gave me this money."
Yes, I'm not forcing you. Also, since it's not my daughter who stole the person, the original divorce letter must be taken back so that the couple can get together and be reunited. Write a letter of divorce, saying that the couple is not in harmony, and write Zhang Mingli.
There is another sweetheart who has failed my daughter, and the money is to compensate her."
Now that things have developed, Mr. Zhang can finally see that Zhao Shuangyu has become a different person after these things happened. He has lost his soft temper and has become particularly difficult to deal with. As long as he can send this person away, even if his family
Forget about being laughed at. Therefore, he only hesitated for a moment and quickly agreed.
"good!"
Such a straightforward agreement made Zhao's father more and more suspicious: "I can't just listen to your words. I want to see my daughter before I write the letter of separation."
When the father and daughter met, Chu Yunli knew that someone had arrived. She didn't hide anything and told the truth about what happened recently.
It was only at this time that Father Zhao realized that his daughter had suffered so many grievances. The Zhang family, a bunch of beasts, not only forced their daughter to drink abortion pills, but also made her drink medicine that was harmful to her health, so that her daughter could no longer survive.
Pregnant.
It's no wonder that the Zhang family, who are only interested in profit, are willing to take the initiative to compensate one thousand taels.
Father Zhao's face was particularly ugly.
Mr. Zhang looked at him secretly: "Zhao Tongsheng, we are relatives..."
"Don't mention this relative to me." Father Zhao glared at him fiercely: "If I had known that your Zhang family was so careless, I wouldn't have agreed to this marriage at all. What kind of people are you? They simply don't care about human life.
It’s the same thing. My daughter has suffered so many grievances and will never be able to have children in the future, and you actually want to drive her away... Bah!"
Scholars would not use foul language, so you can see how angry Father Zhao was.
Mr. Zhang was sprayed with saliva on his face, but he didn't dare to care about it at all. He stretched out his hand and wiped his face: "That's why I will give you one thousand taels of silver as compensation. In fact, my wife did not consult with me when she did these things.
. Otherwise, such a thing would never happen. With a thousand taels of silver, Pisces will not worry about finding a good family, nor will she be afraid that her future husband’s family will not treat her well."
But in Father Zhao's view, his daughter is the Zhang family's only daughter-in-law, and all the Zhang family's property will fall into the hands of his daughter and son-in-law sooner or later. These one thousand taels are only a very small part of it.
No matter how you look at it, it’s the daughter who suffers.
At this moment, he also understood the real reason why the Zhang family wanted to send their daughter away. In the final analysis, it was for the sake of their children. Now that the Zhang family was in a bad situation, if they had to let their daughter stay, it was not impossible to negotiate. But what he understood better was that the daughter should stay.
Even if the relationship between husband and wife can return to the past after the marriage, they will definitely be tortured by the parents-in-law.
He has lived for more than half of his life and has seen women who cannot have children drinking bitter medicinal soup. Especially among wealthy families, there are many ways to make people suffer unspeakably... Of course there will be a scene if they stay.
Wealth, if you want to get it, your daughter will have to suffer a lot of grievances. If she still can't have a child after all the trouble, and Zhang Mingli's other women give birth to children, the daughter may not have to rely on her in her later years.
As for leaving, if his daughter goes home with him, she won't be offended, but there are a lot of gossips outside. It is not easy for a woman who cannot have children to marry a good family again.
He suddenly realized that whether his daughter stayed or left, her life would not be easy in the future. For a moment, Father Zhao could not make up his mind and turned to look at his daughter: "Pisces, what do you say?"
"I don't want to stay." Chu Yunli said calmly: "This house is too dirty. If you drug me now and hurt my body, you might as well kill me one day. By the way, someone has touched my room before.
You want to kill me, but if I hadn’t been clever, all you would see now is my corpse.”
"I won't keep her anymore." Although Father Zhao was afraid that his daughter would affect his reputation when she returned to her parents' home, after all, she was his own blood, and he couldn't bear to watch her being bullied to death.
"But one thousand taels of silver won't do it." Father Zhao said coldly: "Mr. Zhang, you definitely don't want outsiders to know about those things that happened in the past. To be honest, I don't want to mention it to anyone. But what your Zhang family did
You are so rude and cannot give you enough compensation. I will definitely inform outsiders of what you have done."
The implication is that money is needed to seal the mouth.
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it can be solved with money, it is not a big deal for the Zhang family. Mr. Zhang asked tentatively: "How much do you want?"
Father Zhao held out three fingers and wanted to say three thousand taels.
Chu Yunli took the lead and said: "Thirty thousand!"
Mr. Zhang was startled and blurted out: "Why don't you go and grab it?"
"I'm just robbing, it just depends on whether you are willing or not." Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "You can totally not give me a penny and let my father tell those things. In the end, it's all about Zhang.
I don’t think it’s worthwhile to buy reputation with money.”
The Zhang family members all looked very ugly.
Zhang Mingli gritted his teeth: "Pisces, I don't want to be separated from you..."
Chu Yunli raised her hand to stop him: "We've already broken up with each other now. If you stay here any longer, I won't even be able to save my life. Stop lying to me!"
Zhang Mingli: "..."
A person who used to be quite docile suddenly becomes very clever now. Could this person really change his temperament after encountering a big event?
"I will give you ten thousand taels at most." Mr. Zhang emphasized: "The total ancestral property of my family is only thirty thousand."
Chu Yunli naturally didn't believe this, but thirty thousand taels was not a small amount for the Zhang family. It accounted for about 30% of the money. If they had to move so much cash, the Zhang family would have to break their muscles.
Just to make them suffer!
When it hurts, they blame each other.
Father Zhao lowered his head to cover the shock in his eyes. He also felt that his daughter was a lion who opened her mouth, but he could not dismantle his daughter. So, he fell silent.
After arguing for a long time, Chu Yunli still refused to let go. Mr. Zhang had no choice but to accept his fate and worked hard for another half day, finally collecting enough banknotes and money.
At that time, Chu Yunli had already packed her dowry, and before dark, she took Duofu and Zhao's father and left the Zhang family.
Zhang Mingli arrived at the door: "Pisces, we two...we were mistaken."
The couple did have a good time, so this is not a mistake. Chu Yunli waved his hand: "Don't mention the past things anymore. You can take care of yourself in the future. May you... have children and grandchildren."
As soon as the last few words came out, Zhang Mingli's face turned dark.
When he was unhappy, Chu Yunli was in a particularly happy mood. There were not many things in the carriage on the way back, and the most important banknotes were all stored in Chu Yunli's sleeves.
Father Zhao watched carefully, fearing that something would happen. When he returned to Zhao's house, he scolded the family members who came to inquire about the inside story, and directly sent his daughter back to the room in person.
"Pisces, bring it here and I'll help you keep it."
Chu Yunli took out the banknotes from his sleeve, divided out five thousand taels, and handed over a thick stack: "These are for you. The rest is mine."
Father Zhao was speechless.
In his eyes, his daughter was still the little girl with no independent opinions, but the woman standing in front of him had a serious face and left no room for negotiation. He couldn't help but said: "You paid for so much money with your life.
What a pity it would be if it were lost."
"This is my own business." Chu Yunli emphasized: "Five thousand taels, as a daughter, I can use it to honor my father. I can spend it on whatever I want. Don't think about the rest."
Father Zhao frowned: "I'm doing it for your own good."
To say how mean Zhao's father is to his daughter, it's not that bad. But if we say how much he loves his daughter, it's not that bad.
"No need!" Chu Yunli yawned: "I'm still recuperating and want to rest early."
Hearing this, Father Zhao was speechless. His daughter was too strong today, and he almost forgot about the fact that his daughter had just had a miscarriage and was given a harmful drug.
"Then you have a good rest and I'll come back tomorrow."
Before Father Zhao finished speaking, the door was already closed.
Behind him, Mother Zhao looked worried: "Pisces is back...what did the Zhang family say? Can't you go back?"
Many people nowadays feel that after a woman gets married, she should stay together and then return to her natal family to remarry. No matter whose fault it is, it will have an impact on the woman's reputation.
Therefore, after Zhao's mother heard that her daughter would be abandoned, she didn't sleep for a whole night. Now that she had even taken her back, how could she sit still?
"If you can't go back, don't mention the Zhang family to me again!" Father Zhao felt a little irritated: "By the way, Pisces is weak, so make her some delicious food to keep her healthy."
Mother Zhao fell silent: "After the spring, you have to take the county examination again, and the expense is not enough..."
There was a thick stack of five thousand taels of silver notes. Father Zhao pulled out one of one hundred taels and said, "Take it first and spend it." He also emphasized: "This is compensation from the Zhang family to Pisces. Don't spend it randomly."
Mother Zhao's eyes widened and she became more and more puzzled: "Didn't you say that Pisces stole someone?" Why is there compensation?
"That's the slander of the Zhang family." Father Zhao raised his chin and said proudly: "The daughter I raised will never do such shameless things."
