Farmer's wife: My husband came back and the house was in chaos

Chapter 167: Something went wrong? Lu Minghai and Ge divorce

On the day of harvesting grain, all the villagers went to the threshing ground. The officers and soldiers who came to collect the grain sat there and delivered grain to every household. The village chief stood by and helped to check the number of people.

After delivering the grain, the villagers cooked a rare meal with the new rice to celebrate the autumn harvest.

"Lu Mingchuan, something happened at your eldest brother's house, why don't you go over and take a look!"

"What happened?"

"The couple had a fight and are getting a divorce!"

When Lu Mingchuan rushed to Lu Minghai's house, he saw that the couple had been separated by the villagers.

"Lu Minghai! You want to kick me away when the child grows up! I tell you! No way!" Ge collapsed on the ground, rolling around in a tantrum.

Lu Shuangshuang's eyes were red from crying.

"Ge! Even if you say anything, I will divorce you today. If you don't agree, I will divorce you. It's your choice!" Lu Minghai's emotions that had been accumulated for many years finally exploded.

"You wish! I still have to wait for my son to become the top scorer in the imperial examination so that I can enjoy a happy life! I would rather die in this family." Mrs. Ge shouted loudly.

"You! You shameless and vicious woman! You stir up trouble everywhere like a troublemaker all day long, and I tolerate it again and again! How dare you move forward? I'll beat you to death!" Lu Minghai said, and was about to go forward to beat Ge again.

Neighbors hurried forward to dissuade him, saying, "Minghai, no matter what, Ge is the child's biological mother. If you have anything to say, just talk it out."

"Today, in front of everyone, Ge, tell me what good things you have done!"

"She, Lu Shuangshuang, is the flesh and blood that fell out of my belly. As a mother, am I wrong to arrange a marriage for her?"

"Are you trying to arrange a marriage for her? You're pushing her into the fire pit!"

"What? Arrange a marriage for Lu Shuangshuang? What's going on?" The villagers whispered. Lu Shuangshuang was indeed at the age to get married, and there was nothing wrong with what Ge did.

Yao Qingnian was standing in the crowd. Seeing Lu Shuangshuang shivering nearby, he hurried over.

"Ge took the initiative and sold Shuangshuang to Lao Guantou. Lao Guantou, I don't need to say anything, right?"

This old man is from Guanjia Village. He is in his forties. He has married several wives who died of inexplicable illnesses. He is well-known in the surrounding area. Now he is old, and none of his wives left him with children. He is anxious, so he spends a lot of money to marry again. He doesn't have any requirements, as long as he can have children.

When Ge heard that the other party offered fifty taels of silver, she had evil thoughts and wanted to marry Lu Shuangshuang to him. After all, it didn't matter who she married. They were all money-losing goods, so it would be better to exchange them for some silver.

So she went to Guanjia Village to discuss the matter without telling her family. Old Man Guan immediately paid her fifty taels of silver and asked her to marry her daughter off with great fanfare. He said he would definitely treat her well and promised to give her another twenty taels after the matter was settled.

Even Old Man Guan called his mother-in-law. Thinking that he would be able to marry a beautiful wife soon, he didn't want to wait any longer, so he asked Ge to get ready quickly, and he would come to propose marriage in the next two days.

"Old man Guan can be Lu Shuangshuang's father. Ge is really a black-hearted person. She will do anything for money." When the villagers heard this, they pointed at Ge and started cursing.

"I won't get married! You can marry me if you want!" Lu Shuangshuang wiped her tears and yelled at Ge.

"You silly girl, you're just like your useless father, wasting food. The Guan family will be coming tomorrow, and you have no choice but to marry!" Ge didn't stop even after being beaten. She got up and wanted to teach Lu Shuangshuang a lesson.

"Shut up! Take out the money! Call off the engagement tomorrow and we can sit down and discuss it. If you insist on not changing your mind, don't blame me for being rude!" Lu Minghai was completely disappointed with Ge, but he still held back and warned her in the end.

"Ms. Ge, just listen to your husband and return the silver to the Guan family. Don't you know what the Guan family is like? Shuangshuang is still so young. You are not marrying her to them, you are letting her die..." a kind-hearted aunt advised.

"I won't! I still have to use the money to help Xiang Qian study and get married! If she doesn't go, who will go?" Ge sneered and spat out a mouthful of blood.

This matter concerns the reputation of the girls in the village, and the village chief also came over to persuade them: "Ge, hurry up and hand over the silver. I will go with you to Guanjia Village to cancel the marriage. If you don't listen to my advice, even if Minghai doesn't divorce you, I will drive you out of the village. Now is the time to save the relationship."

Lu Shuangshuang huddled in Yao Qingnian's arms, and Yao Qingnian comforted her softly, "Don't worry, we won't let you marry into a place like that."

Yao Qingnian really wanted to slap Ge, this crazy woman, twice more: "Ge, you're not going to take out the money, right? Well, tomorrow I'll take Shuangshuang to the academy to make a scene. Don't you want Lu Xiangqian to be the top scorer? Then I want to see if Lu Xiangqian is still qualified to take the imperial examination after my scene!"

"You bitch! Just try and make a scene!"

"You dare to sell Shuangshuang, so why shouldn't I dare?" Yao Qingnian snorted coldly. Only Lu Xiangqian could be used to deal with the Ge family.

Lu Xiangqian is one of the few scholars in the village, how could he go to the academy to make trouble? The village chief was about to speak, but Yao Qingnian signaled them to stay calm.

"Stop threatening me!"

"Threat? Brother Ye, please help me go to the city and tell Lu Xiangqian's classmates and teachers about what happened at home. Oh, and the headmaster, old man Hu. See if he will let Lu Xiangqian continue to study in the academy if he knows that he has such a mother."

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

"Stop! You are so cruel! It's just some silver! I'll give it to you!" Ge reached out to take out the silver.

Yao Qingnian suddenly said, "That was what I just said, take out the silver, but that's not the case now."

Mrs. Ge paused: "Yao Qingnian, what else do you want?"

"Uncle, are you sure you want to divorce her?" Yao Qingnian asked.

This time, he took out the money, but what about next time? Who can stand this kind of trouble every day? He might as well deal with it all at once, but it still depends on Lu Minghai's opinion.

"Sure! This family will have no peace as long as she is here." Lu Minghai was very sure about the divorce at this moment.

"Ge, did you hear me? Sign the divorce papers and leave our village, and we'll let bygones be bygones. This will also be considered giving you respect. In the future, Lu Xiangqian can still visit you during festivals."

"I won't! Then no one will have an easy life! Lu Shuangshuang will go to Old Guan's house!"

"Even if you don't give me that little bit of silver, I still have a way to cancel the marriage, but you have to think clearly about the consequences of this matter! If you do this, not only will Shuangshuang hate you, but Lu Xiangqian and Lu Daqing will also hate you. What about them? Your uncle has given you a divorce letter, and you can't say no!"

Yao Qingnian explained the interests clearly, and even if Ge was stupid, he should have known the consequences...
