Sure enough, Zhou Shui'an hesitated when he heard Granny Zhang's words. If he insisted on not making peace, he would be enmity with the Shen family. When Shen Yanqing passed the examination and got an official position, he would be able to pinch him, a little peddler, with just a little move of his hands. die.
Zhou Shui'an shuddered in his heart, but he was unwilling to let Shen Yingxue go just like that.
Zhao Yuan couldn't sit still for a long time. She would be the legal wife after she divorced Shen Yingxue, and the child in her belly would be the legitimate son. She wished they could divorce quickly, but she was very anxious when she saw Zhou Shui'an grinding away.
"Ms. Gong, Ayuan knows that you are reluctant to let go of your sister, but her heart is no longer with you. If you force her to stay, you will also form a grudge. The most important thing is that you will not be able to settle down in the Shen family."
She comforted her, and Zhou's mother also agreed with Zhao Yuan's words.
"That mournful man should get out of here right away. He has been crying and moaning all day as if he was mourning. If you don't know, you might think I'm dead."
"Mom, why are you saying these depressing words? You will live a long and prosperous life."
"If Mrs. Shen keeps wandering around, I'm not far away from death!"
Zhou's mother was humiliated twice by the Shen family, and Shen Yingxue was taken back to her parents' home again. She felt very angry.
"Then the son will make peace with her?" Zhou Shui'an asked hesitantly, he was still a little reluctant to let go.
"Li, but I can't make it easy for that little bitch. She has been living in our house for five years and hasn't even given birth to a son. She still has to pay the Zhou family a hundred taels of silver. Moreover, she was given a lot of betrothal gifts when she married her. , these must be returned!”
Zhou's mother is very good at planning, and Zhou Shui'an will listen to his mother's advice on anything she sees to be profitable.
"One hundred taels of silver, how shameless do you Zhou family still want to be?"
Mrs. Zhang laughed angrily when she heard what Zhou's mother said. How could there be such a shameless family? They just wanted to frustrate their daughter-in-law to get along with each other, but now they want her to pay compensation and return all the betrothal gifts.
"The most unfilial thing is to have no offspring. The Shen family didn't even add a son to the Zhou family when they got married. This has hindered our Anzi for five years. The young people of other families who are about the same age have two or three sons. I only ask you to pay a hundred dollars." Both are giving you an advantage!"
Anyway, the two families had already broken up, and Zhou's mother no longer had any scruples. Her true colors were revealed, arrogant and unreasonable.
Mrs. Zhang was so angry when she heard her confusing right and wrong.
"Fuck your mother, my daughter is outstanding in appearance and figure, and she is virtuous and sensible. She was sought after by hundreds of families at the beginning. If Zhou Shui'an hadn't been stalking and beating her up and demanding to marry her, I would have been reluctant to marry her to your Zhou family. Orphan The widowed mother is just a petty person. Before the business is successful, the concubine has taken it in first. Damn, what are you talking about? You still want money. I didn’t report it to the official. It’s enough to give you face. You’re a bunch of snake-hearted things. , if word gets out that the Zhou family tortured their daughter-in-law and forced their granddaughter to death, let’s see who dares to come to your store to buy something!”
After hearing the report to the official, Zhou's mother's expression froze, "This is a family matter of our old Zhou family. What reason do you have to report to the official? You really think that the yamen is run by your family and let the county magistrate take care of everything."
"Besides, it's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. My Anzi is outstanding in appearance and conduct. If Mr. Shen can't give birth to a son, our Zhou family will have to be extinct!" Zhou's mother raised her eyebrows and gradually regained her momentum.
"Tsk, it sounds nice to say that Zhou Shui'an is just a villain who forgets his true love!" Jiang Miao really couldn't stand the Zhou family's face, it was simply disgusting.
"Mom, since they are confident, let's report it to the officials. Ling'er was almost killed by them. The Zhou family is so vicious that they have to spend ten years in prison!" Jiang Miao squeezed Mrs. Zhang's hand, and Mrs. Zhang understood.
"Okay, I won't hesitate to fight with them, so let the county magistrate settle the case."
Zhou's mother originally thought Mrs. Zhang was deliberately trying to scare her, but when she saw the two of them leaving, she panicked. Common people were most afraid of seeing officials, especially if they refused to be reasonable in this matter. They were afraid that the county boss would really put them in jail.
And Zhou Shui'an prides himself on being gentle and considerate, but if his hypocrisy is exposed in court, it will literally cost him his life.
"Mother-in-law, if you have something to say, there's no point in meeting an official. Yingxue just wants to agree to her agreement with Li Wo."
Mrs. Zhang originally wanted to scare them, but when she heard Zhou Shui'an relent, she felt relieved. If she really went to see the official, Yingxue's reputation would be ruined, and it would be troublesome for her to marry again in the future.
"Well, then you just sign this with Li Shu. I won't hold you accountable for the Zhou family's molestation of their daughter-in-law. It's just as compensation. In addition to Yingxue's dowry, the spirit girl will also be taken away."
"How can this be done? After all, she is the flesh and blood of the Zhou family, and she has to stay in the Zhou family even if we are divorced."
"Young girl must go. You rot-hearted bastards might harm her again one day. Besides, your Zhou family will have grandchildren, so why do you need this granddaughter?"
Mrs. Zhang's tone was sarcastic, and Mrs. Zhou was speechless at the rebuke.
"That's also Anzi's seed. If you want to take her away, you can just give her money. I don't want much, just fifty taels of silver, otherwise Anzi won't sign the divorce letter." She was not afraid of boiling water, so she started playing tricks.
Rogue, Mrs. Zhang and Jiang Miao were speechless.
"Twenty taels of silver, no more, or we will go to see the official!" Mrs. Zhang now just wants her daughter to make peace with Zhou Shui. Shen Yingxue finally got the idea, and she was afraid that Shen Yingxue would regret it if she dragged her on any longer.
She felt sick if she stayed at home for more than a quarter of an hour this week.
"Mom, just promise them. If you really meet the official, the Zhou family will not be left behind." Zhou Shui'an was also afraid of pushing the Shen family into panic, so he persuaded Zhou's mother in a low voice.
"Okay, my kindness is so great today that I will divorce this little bitch as she wishes!" Even though she was wrong, she still wanted to show off her words. Mrs. Zhang had achieved her goal and didn't bother to talk to her.
Zhou Shui'an signed the divorce letter, and Father Shen took people to transport the dowry away. Mrs. Zhang and Jiang Miao also returned to the Shen family. The marriage was completely broken off. Jiang Miao looked back. If the Zhou family does any unjust things, they will be punished.
Damn it, depending on what they do they will suffer sooner or later.
Shen Yingxue was a little trance looking at the dowry in the yard and the He Li Shu in her hand. She had nothing to do with the Zhou family anymore.
"Miaoya, I'm sorry for you, but I gave the recipe for candied haws to the Zhou family..." Although it was Zhou's mother who used Ling'er to force her to hand over the recipe, she was the one who refused to listen and insisted on returning to the Zhou family.
Jiang Miao taught her how to make snacks and asked her to stay away from the Zhou family, but she refused to listen. It wasn't until Zhou Ling almost died that she finally woke up. If Zhou Ling really had some shortcomings, she would never be able to forgive herself.
"Sister, please give me one hundred taels of silver." Seeing her despair, Jiang Miao directly counted the money.
With the debt, Shen Yingxue had the will to survive and lived well with her daughter.
"Okay, I will definitely pay you back!" Sure enough, Shen Yingxue's eyes suddenly lit up. She wanted to live a good life, work hard to make money to pay off her debts, and support herself and Ling'er.
It took Zhou Ling half a month to recover from his illness. After being ill, his face lost a lot of weight. Mrs. Zhang felt very distressed. "It's all my fault that Mrs. Zhou, who killed a thousand swords, did this to our little girl Ling!"
She scolded the Zhou family every day, and the Shen family was used to it. Moreover, the Zhou family was so vicious that Mrs. Zhang could not scold them too much.
Shen Yingxue came back to help Jiang Miao. The kitchen helpers knew that she had reconciled with her husband's family. Although they were gossiping in their hearts, they dared not say anything on their faces. Shen Yingxue felt comfortable living in her parents' house, and she gradually regained her cheerfulness.
Winter has just entered and the weather is gradually getting colder. Shen Yanqing has been away from home for almost three months. Although the two of them exchange letters every month, it is still different from face-to-face communication. Jiang Miao has almost forgotten what he looks like. I don’t know how he is doing in the capital or whether he has met the heroine.
Jiang Miao was in a complicated mood. Every letter she sent to Shen Yanqing was full of love words, but she just couldn't let go of her inner worries. She always felt that she would change her heart when she met the heroine Shen Yanqing in the future.
"Ah, it's so annoying. It would be great if you were just an ordinary person. I wouldn't have to worry about gains and losses so much!"
Jiang Miao buried her head in the quilt and punched Shen Yanqing's pillow with her hand.
However, at this time, she didn't know that Shen Yanqing had already met the heroine, but he only had Jiang Miao in his eyes and did not have a good impression of the heroine.
