In fact, Zhou Xingwang's concerns are not wrong. Everyone in Linglong Town is kind to others and is used to keeping things quiet. If the Lu family was stunned by this incident and refused to let go of their relative Zhou Guishu and insisted on driving him out, people would definitely talk about it later.
But in Lu's father's view, there are some things that can be compromised, but he can never retreat when it comes to his granddaughter. Even if he is criticized or poked in the spine, he will make the culprit pay the price.
Zhou Xingwang faced his father-in-law's anger and took a small step back: "What... Dad, you have to be merciful and merciful. If we are too harsh in our conduct and work, who will dare to interact with our family in the future? Business in the shop
It will also be affected!"
Father Lu looked at his son-in-law with more and more disappointment.
"So, we shouldn't be a family at all." He looked at Chu Yunli: "Xiaoqing, have you thought about it?"
Chu Yunli said seriously: "I am disgusted by this kind of beast who doesn't even want his daughter for some benefits. I will never sleep with him again. Even if we are just under the same roof with him, I
It will also make you feel uncomfortable all over.”
Zhou Xingwang didn't expect that the Lu family's father and daughter would discuss it so quickly... At present, a breakup between husband and wife is not a trivial matter, and will be discussed by outsiders. There are several people in the family, and everyone has their own ideas. It is impossible at all.
Reach a consensus.
He thought Lu Xiaoqing was angry with him and wanted to kick him out. But his father-in-law would definitely stop him.
"Dad, I do it for the good of our family! Those things will eventually fall into Jiaojiao's hands."
"We in the Lu family don't lack that." Father Lu waved his hand and said, "You can quickly pack your things before your husband comes, and you can go home in a while."
Zhou Xingwang was dumbfounded: "I won't leave."
Chu Yunli mocked: "Dad was wrong. When he came here, he was alone. Except for the rags, he didn't take anything with him. All the things were purchased by our Lu family, and now he is leaving.
, just leave as you did when you came here.”

"You can afford it." Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "You want to settle accounts with me? By the way, in order to pick you up as my son-in-law, our family paid a betrothal gift. If we really want to make a clear calculation, should we settle the accounts?
Are those coming back too?"
The betrothal gift paid at the beginning allowed the other brothers of the Zhou family to marry their wives, and now they even have children. To be honest, the help the Lu family gave was not just money... If the brothers had missed their age, they would have given money to the Zhou family now.
, they may not be able to marry a wife and have children.
Zhou Xingwang opened his mouth: "Xiaoqing, I don't want to settle a score with you."
"But this is what you are thinking about!" Chu Yunli hit the nail on the head.
Zhou Xingwang still wanted to get a few words for himself, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door. He panicked and subconsciously wanted to step forward and drive the gentleman outside away.
But he couldn't help it. Chu Yunli took the lead to open the door and welcomed Mr. inside.
"Sorry for your trouble."
Zhou Xingwang was panicking and stepped forward and said, "Our family doesn't need your help."
Chu Yunli took out a handful of coins from his sleeve and handed it to his husband: "Please write a letter of divorce. From today on, Zhou Xingwang and I have nothing to do with each other."
The husband made a living by writing these things. Seeing that the remuneration he got was much more than before, he suddenly smiled and said: "Okay!" After saying that, he looked at Zhou Xingwang, shook his head and said: "Something happened to the family.
It’s time to sit down and discuss things together, not to decide on your own. They deserve to be annoyed with you.”
Although he would rather demolish ten temples than break up one marriage, in my husband's opinion, writing a letter of divorce is not a big deal. After all, we can still reconcile after divorce. How can we break up after so many years of marriage?
He had received the reward now, and when the couple reconciled, they would not be able to ask for it again.
Therefore, he wrote this letter of divorce without any burden. He wrote it in a flash of ink and turned around.
Chu Yunli sent her husband away and stuffed the divorce letter on the table into Zhou Xingwang's arms: "Get out!"
As he said that, he pushed the person out of the door.

Chu Yunli moved swiftly and pushed the person to the door in the blink of an eye. After hearing this, he asked: "If you hadn't gone back to Zhou's house to mention the separation of the family beforehand, how could their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law say yes?
Give you a share? And when you proposed dividing the family, you didn’t discuss it with me from the beginning to the end. I don’t even know when this happened.”
Zhou Xingwang was dumbfounded: "I mentioned it more than half a year ago, but it was just a test. If I actually got something, it would be half as good as yours!"
Chu Yunli stopped listening to his explanation and looked at the audience outside.
Originally there weren't so many people coming to watch the fun, but after word spread about Aunt Zhang's invitation to Mr. Zhang, everyone thought it was quite strange, and more and more people came to watch.
"Zhou Xingwang and I have made a clean break. From now on, he is no longer a member of the Lu family. What he does has nothing to do with our family."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Zhou Xingwang wanted to stop him, but his finger was pinched. The pain caused him to quickly retract his hand. When he pushed the door again, he couldn't push it open.
He refused to leave and continued to knock on the door.
But there was still no movement inside. Some people couldn't see through it and came forward to persuade her: "Xiaoqing is angry, and it's useless no matter how hard you knock. It's better to go home first and wait for her to calm down before you come to ask for mercy."
In other words, it would be better to find an elder who is recognized by both parties to come and help make peace, rather than banging here.
As a man, it was quite embarrassing to be told that he was rejected by his wife in front of everyone and couldn't get in. Zhou Xingwang noticed that the onlookers were pointing and he felt his face was burning. He turned around and walked towards her.
Go to the hospital.
Zhou Guishu fell asleep just now, and he had just woken up when Zhou Xingwang arrived. Zhou's mother loved her grandson so much that she asked the medicine boy at the medical clinic to help her prepare a bowl of egg custard.
As soon as Zhou Xingwang entered the door, he saw his sister-in-law patiently feeding him egg custard. His mother looked at him with worry on his face: "Be careful of the scalding."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law circled around Zhou Guishu, which made Zhou Xingwang feel quite uncomfortable.
Zhou's mother heard the movement behind her, turned around and saw her second son, and sighed: "Guishu was frightened and just woke up. At least you have a conscience and know how to come to visit..."
Zhou Xingwang said angrily: "I'm not here to visit him."
When Yang heard this, his heart suddenly tightened. Could it be that he still wanted to settle accounts?
"Guishu has been injured so badly. The doctors said that he will have to be recuperated for at least a few months and will eventually become a cripple. He is already in such a miserable state, what else can the Lu family do?"
Zhou Xingwang walked to the crib and asked, "Can he be as miserable as me?" After saying this, he faced his mother who looked confused and said, "The Lu family kicked me out."
As he spoke, he took the divorce letter in his arms and took it away.
This action was very rude. Zhou's mother took the piece of paper and asked doubtfully: "What is this?"
"A letter of divorce!" Zhou Xingwang said in a serious tone: "Your son and I have become the first person in this small town in a hundred years. As a man, I was divorced by my wife. People will probably still talk about it for hundreds of years to come."
Mother Zhou's face was full of surprise: "They divorced you? Is that shameless?"
Yang frowned and said, "My brothers and sisters have such a bad temper. We can talk about anything behind closed doors as a family. We are not afraid of people laughing at us if we make such a big fuss."
"I am the only one who is being laughed at." Zhou Xingwang stared at Zhou Guishu on the bed, furious: "Zhou Guishu, did I poke your ancestral grave? Why did you do this to me?"
After Zhou Guishu drank the egg custard, he really didn't dare to face his second uncle, so he simply tilted his head and pretended to sleep again.
In the eyes of the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, he was hurt too badly and was going to faint again. They both looked at him with heartache.
Zhou Xingwang didn't want to take this trick, and stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have become a joke. Zhou Guishu, you have to compensate!"
His movements were not gentle. Mrs. Yang was really afraid that he would hurt her son, so she immediately stepped forward and pulled him: "Be gentle, don't hurt him! The Lu family beat someone and didn't pay for the medicine. We will have to pay for it ourselves."
rule!"
Zhou Xingwang was furious and couldn't really do anything to his dying nephew. At this moment, his sister-in-law came forward. He was no longer polite and pushed him hard.
This is a medical clinic. Even if it is a room for patients, in addition to the bed, there are cabinets for storing medicinal materials. He pushed like this, and Yang couldn't bear it. He took several steps back and bumped into the cabinet.
The cabinet was not placed very firmly, and a piece of it fell over in an instant, mixing a lot of medicine on the floor.
The doctor outside heard the commotion and saw a mess when he came in. His beard suddenly stood up with anger. The medicine boy took a look, shrank his neck, took a peek at the doctor, and hurriedly pretended to be busy and left.
The doctor was furious, especially what Zhou Guishu did was not a secret. He had already heard about it, and immediately raised his hand and said, "You guys, sort out these medicines for me, and then get out of here."
Yang was hit on the head and her brain was buzzing. She did not dare to make a fuss in the face of the doctor's anger. After all, her son still had to be treated by others, so she immediately agreed with a forced smile.
"Don't laugh, it's important to work. I'll move them away this afternoon." The doctor looked at the medicinal materials on the ground, and his heart ached so much that he was bleeding. After he put down the harsh words, he felt that the Zhou family couldn't distinguish the medicinal materials, so he turned around and called for the medicine.
Tong came over to help.
Zhou's mother bent down to pick it up, but the doctor clapped her hand: "Stand away and take your precious grandson away. You can come to get medicine in the future, but don't let me see him again."
Why didn't Ms. Yang understand that the doctor was angry with her son?
After all, I was bullied because I was delicate... Everyone looks down on those who bully women, and so do doctors.
Tears burst into her eyes instantly. She noticed the doctor's disgusted gaze and did not even dare to cry. The family hurriedly packed their things and left the hospital in despair.
Zhou Xingwang was still carrying half of the stretcher as he walked on the street. He noticed the strange looks from everyone and became increasingly irritated. He also understood why the doctor wanted to target Zhou Guishu... To be honest, this feeling was very aggrieved, and it was not him who did the bad things.
Yes, he is still the master of suffering. But in the end, he is despised and laughed at.
Yang's face was full of tears, she couldn't see the path under her feet clearly, and she stumbled as she walked.
She had no strength, and Zhou Xingwang on the other side struggled to lift her and scolded: "Stop crying! You have the nerve to cry! I just want to cry!"
Mrs. Yang felt sorry for her son. She thought that her son would be looked at differently in the future, which would inevitably affect the marriage. Seeing that her son was about to be ruined for the rest of his life, how could she not cry?
Faced with Zhou Xingwang's impatience, she was also annoyed: "If you hadn't failed to control your wife and children and let them make things worse, how could Guishu have ended up in this situation? He was not looked down upon by anyone, and I also used
Don’t cry.”
Zhou's mother's eyes were red, and she quite agreed with her daughter-in-law's words, saying: "It's all because of the Lu family's unreasonable attitude towards others. Guishu did something wrong. He came to us in private to make it clear. I'm not unreasonable. I teach people a lesson."
That's it. They're not afraid that outsiders won't know and won't be discussed... Then Lu Xiaoqing is not a good person!"
Zhou Xingwang's expression was speechless.
He didn't think what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law said was right. Jiaojiao was his daughter, and Zhou Guishu bullied his daughter... After everything he had done, were he still afraid of being laughed at?
"Stop talking." The more Zhou Xingwang thought about it, the angrier he became: "What's so miserable about your book? Don't you still have me to carry him? I'm miserable because he did such a bastard thing that his family was ruined. Now it's
Not many people know that I took the divorce letter, so when word spreads about it, how can I still have the face to see people?"
Mother Zhou fell silent.
Yang was depressed for a long time and said angrily: "You have been married for many years, Xiaoqing just couldn't get angry for a while. I will definitely forgive you later."
Zhou Xingwang also hoped so, but he always felt a little uneasy. He really felt that Lu Xiaoqing seemed to be really angry this time. Because before this, the couple had not been in the same room for a long time.
It is said that quarreling at the head of the bed ends with fighting at the end of the bed. Lu Xiaoqing, let alone sleeping with him, didn't even talk much with him, and there was no longer the intimacy as before. Under such circumstances, the couple wanted to reconcile.
How can it be that easy?
"Go and beg for mercy for me!" Zhou Xingwang said bitterly: "Sister-in-law, the ugly words came first. I was kicked out because of your son. If Xiaoqing refuses to forgive me, I won't be able to go back to the Lu family.
, I will have to pay all the compensation for the big house."
Yang: "..." If you are so greedy, why didn't you die of swelling?
Zhou Xingwang didn't hear any movement behind him and said dissatisfied: "Are you deaf?"
Ms. Yang didn't want to answer, but her son was still in the hands of others. If Zhou Xingwang gave up the job, it would be particularly troublesome for someone with no connections to get him back. But if she agreed, she would do the same.
He hesitated for a while and said, "You have to discuss this matter with your elder brother. I can't make the decision by myself."
Zhou Xingwang snorted coldly: "Then I don't care, even if I am in front of dad, I will still say this."
Zhou's mother thought this was impossible. If the five people in the big house gave all the things they encountered to their second son, what would they do for a living in the future?
Let alone the old man, she can't agree to it.
However, she also had the same concerns as her eldest daughter-in-law. Just now, in order to save some money, they were reluctant to hire an ox cart. They were also afraid that they would be rejected when they went to invite people. If the cart drivers in the town refused to take their grandson, they would be troubled again.
Let’s add another round of conversation. Anyway, let’s get back to our feet first.
As Zhou Xingwang returned to the village, the news that he had been kicked out by the Lu family quickly spread.
Father Zhou had a serious look on his face: "I will go to the Lu family with you tomorrow. No matter what they say, we must agree first. In short, you must be the son-in-law of the Lu family!"
Since the son went to the Lu family, it has brought a lot of face to the Zhou family. If the son can never go back, how will the Zhou family see people in the village in the future?
Zhou Xingwang was silent: "Maybe I can't even get in. I'm struggling at the door. I don't know how many people want to laugh at me."
"Then you have to try." Zhou's father pondered for a moment: "Bring your book with you. He is the one who caused the trouble. He should make a good apology to the Lu family."
Zhou's mother refused: "Guishu was so seriously injured, the doctors told him to take good care of himself and not move around frequently. What if the injury to his leg gets worse and worse and he becomes a lame in the future? There is no rush to apologize at this moment.
The Lu family is very angry, if we go at this time, it will only make them even more angry..."
This actually made sense, but Zhou's father was not very happy. He was angry because he felt that Zhou Guishu would make such a big mistake because his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were too indulgent.
"Recuperate and recuperate, you can just treat him as an ancestor and support him!" Zhou's father scolded: "Find a bullock cart with thicker padding, why can't he go to the town? If the doctor doesn't come to change his dressing in the future, will he?
Aren’t you going to change it?”
Mother Zhou was yelled at and suddenly felt aggrieved: "Who am I doing this for?"
"It's not for me anyway." Zhou's father stood up suddenly: "It's annoying to see it."
After saying that, he walked out.
Zhou Laosan is an honest person. After Li's arrival, the couple has always been the one who does the most and eats the least in the family. At this moment, he couldn't help but say: "Brother, Guishu's child has grown crooked, you still have to do it."
Teach me a lesson. Also, when I married, my parents could be said to be just you two brothers, and the second brother did not participate in the separation. Now that he wants to come back to separate the family... this matter actually has nothing to do with us. If it really is a separation,
Give him a share from you."
Yang immediately jumped out: "Three brothers are separated. Each of us should have a share. Why should we suffer? The second brother is not my son. What you say makes no sense!"
Ms. Li was still pregnant. After hearing this, she took two steps back, fearing that the person in front of her would poke her and hurt her unborn child.
Zhou Laosan is a taciturn person. He usually doesn't speak a word, but he couldn't help it at this moment: "Sister-in-law, just talk and don't move your hands or feet. What if you hurt the child?"
"Isn't it true that we haven't touched it yet?" Yang glanced at Li's belly: "It's amazing to be pregnant. It's like someone has never given birth. I even gave birth to two sons."
Whose child is loved by whom? Mrs. Li couldn't stand hearing it anymore: "Even if you can give birth to a hundred bastards like you, what good will it do besides bringing shame to the family?"
"What are you talking about?" Ms. Yang suffered a lot of grievances outside because her son was the one who got into trouble, so she could only endure it. Even in front of the Zhou family, she did not dare to speak loudly, but she had never been afraid of her grandson.
Lou, rushed forward at this moment and said: "I will tear your mouth off!"
Li was startled and took a few steps back. As she stepped back, her heels hit the millstone behind her, but she couldn't stop and suddenly fell to the ground. Just as she was about to get up, her expression changed.
Yibai covered his stomach: "My stomach hurts so much."
Zhou Laosan saw this and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't lift his wife up. In an instant, a pool of redness spread under Li's body.
Mrs. Yang was really fierce just now, but after seeing the blood, her face turned pale with fright. She just felt aggrieved and said a few harsh words, but she never thought of hurting the children of her third brother and sister.
"Go and ask the doctor quickly."
Zhou's mother just ignored the quarrel between the two sisters-in-law and ran to the toilet. When she came out, she saw that the third daughter-in-law was in trouble, and she hurriedly yelled: "What are you talking about?"
She patted her thighs and ran out quickly to ask for a doctor.
Mrs. Li is weak because her husband and wife are responsible for all the food in the Zhou family. Recently, it is not busy with farming. They only eat two thin meals a day. If they don’t eat well, they still have to work. When Mrs. Li fell, the child
It can't be saved.
After hearing the doctor's words, Li's face turned pale.
Zhou Laosan squatted at the door and pulled his hair. He raised his eyes to look at the first couple and his eyes were full of hatred: "I will fight with you."
It was impossible to fight desperately. The two brothers struggled together and rolled around on the ground. When Zhou's father got the news and saw such a situation when he came back, he became very angry: "Why don't you get out of here now?
Don’t you think it’s embarrassing?”
Hearing the two brothers fighting, several people followed Zhou's father and quickly stepped forward to pull them apart.
Zhou Laosan, who had always been honest, refused to give up even if he was torn apart. He glared at his brother with eyes full of cruelty. He struggled hard to move forward.
Father Zhou scolded: "Third brother, what are you going to do?"
Hearing his father's words, Zhou Laosan instantly withered. He squatted back on the ground again, and after a while he muttered: "Separate the family!"
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the courtyard.
In fact, the two brothers had wanted to separate their families for a long time, but because their elders were still there, they knew it would be useless to mention it, so they endured it for so many years.
Even though Mr. Zhou and his wife had taken a lot of advantages, they never thought of living like this for the rest of their lives. Yang tried to say: "If the situation is like this and we live together again, everyone will feel uncomfortable, so we should break up."
"It's fine, second brother's share will come from you." Mrs. Li came out of the house holding her belly. At this moment, her face was as white as a ghost, but her eyes were particularly persistent, and her fingertips were pinching the door frame.
She turned pale, obviously trying to hold on. She looked at her mother-in-law: "Mom, if you don't agree, this matter will never be over. My parents' family are not all dead, they will come to help me seek justice."
