Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Mei Er Niang became less and less afraid the more she spoke in front of everyone.

In the past, she always told herself to be patient, to be a gentle and virtuous wife, and to build a good reputation for herself. This would be good for both her and Xiao Yuer.

Even her own mother told her the same thing.

She was originally a hot-tempered person, but she had been suppressing it for these years. Soon after she got married, she knew that Wang An was not what he seemed, but she did not dare to divorce him. She was afraid that others would poke her in the back and scold her, and she was even more afraid of implicating Xiao Yuer. It was not nice to have a mother who divorced her father.

But since the end of last year, she gradually couldn't help it, especially after seeing Li Yu living a prosperous life with two children.

She often asked herself, is her reputation really that important? Is it necessary for her to endure the torture day after day just for the evaluation of others?

Even if she became famous, would Xiaoyuer really be able to live a good life in the future? Her mother was a well-known good person in their town, but she didn't live a good life at all.

She compared her life with Li Yu's and got uncertain answers.

But she still didn't dare to move. In her more than 20 years of life, she had only seen one woman file for divorce, and that was Fang, the wife of the town's shopkeeper Li. However, Fang left Huangmei Town after the divorce, so she didn't know the consequences of a woman's divorce, so she didn't dare to gamble.

Until recently.

Xiuwen's wife and Aunt Wu asked her to help make date cakes and paid her wages every day, but Wang An and his mother asked her to threaten Xiuwen's wife in return.

This was something she couldn't accept, so even though Wang An mentioned it to her for several days, she remained indifferent.

She thought that as long as she stubbornly refused to agree, Wang An and his mother would not be able to do anything to her. However, she didn't expect that one of them would plot against Xiao Yu'er, and the other would plot against Xiu Wen's wife.

Before coming, she was holding Xiao Yuer and talking. In the morning, she heard the conversation between Wang An and his mother. They said that they had found a husband for Xiao Yuer, who was in his thirties and could give eight taels of silver as a betrothal gift.

She burst into tears on the spot, and by the time she had cried enough, Wang An and his mother were no longer at home.

She wanted to find them, but at this moment, the village chief's daughter Li Jingliu knocked on her door and told her that Wang An had caused trouble for Xiu Wen's wife.

At that moment, she couldn't bear it anymore and ran out the door with a rolling pin.

"Uncle Li, I can't live with Wang An anymore. I want to divorce him. Please help me write a divorce letter." Mei Er Niang said, "I want Xiao Yu'er. I don't want anything else."

The village chief looked at her, then at Wang An, "What do you say?"

"No divorce!" Wang An's mother rushed into the crowd with small steps, "Our Wang family only gives a divorce letter!"

Wang An looked at his mother in shock, "Mom, I won't divorce you, and I won't divorce you either."

Although Mei Erniang's appearance is not very presentable, she is hardworking and a good worker. All the housework depends on her. Besides, she is now working with Xiu Wen's wife, so she will definitely earn a lot of money in the future.

With her money, he could go to a brothel and order the best girls.

Wang An's calculations were clanging, but Mei Erniang didn't intend to give him a chance. She raised her rolling pin and said, "If you don't divorce, I will beat you every day at home. And you..." She pointed at Wang An's mother and said, "From now on, all the housework will be done by you."

Wang Anniang arrived late and did not see Mei Erniang's arrogance just now. She thought she was still the submissive daughter-in-law and was just talking nonsense.

She didn't take Mei Er Niang seriously, pointed at her nose and cursed: "You are rebelling, I will beat you to death."

She stretched out her hand as usual, but as soon as she raised her arm, two slaps landed on her face, one on the left and one on the right, very symmetrical.

Wang Anniang: “…”

Mei Erniang looked at her and said, "Try to say something unpleasant again. If you do, I will beat you to death and make you the same as your son."

Wang An's mother finally realized that something was wrong. She looked down at the wound on her son and burst into tears.

"God damn it, my daughter-in-law hit someone. It's unjust. She deserves to be put in a pig cage! Village chief, we don't want such a daughter-in-law in our family. My son wants to divorce her!"

"Mom, I can't divorce!" Wang An was given a headache by his mother. He didn't care about other people present and leaned over to his mother's ear to talk.

A few meters away, Li Yu looked at the changing look in Wang An's mother's eyes and suddenly said, "Mei Er Niang, when we were looking for help, it was not only because we were attracted to you, but also because we were attracted to your family. We thought that your family was honest, so we wanted you.

Now it seems that we have found the wrong person. Your mother-in-law and husband are both hypocritical, and you have a bad temper, so from today on, you don't have to work for Aunt Wu anymore. Han Zheng, go and write a deed to terminate the relationship, and we will put our fingerprints on it later."

After saying this, the scene fell silent.

Mei Er Niang looked at Li Yu, tears slowly welling up in her eyes, but she held them back.

Sniffing, she said, "Okay, then I won't go today." She could understand Li Yu. In her situation, if she went to work again, it would only cause trouble for them.

but......

Mei Erniang looked at the village chief again and said, "Village chief, I want a divorce. Please help me write a divorce letter."

"We only want a divorce!" Wang An's mother helped Wang An stand up, "We want to divorce you."

"Yes, we only give you a divorce letter!" Wang An looked at Mei Er Niang with hatred. She was useless. He thought she could earn some money, but she was dumped. In this case, there was no need to live with her anymore. He saved some money at home. After divorcing Mei Er Niang, he would marry someone who could give birth to a son.

The village chief felt sorry for Mei Er Niang and was unwilling to help Wang An write a divorce letter. However, everyone was present and it was true that Mei Er Niang had beaten her mother-in-law and husband, so she didn't know what to do.

Li Yu thought about it for a while, then stood up and said, "Wang An, you stole my bricks, and there is evidence. Don't even think about getting a divorce now. Come with me to the lobby of the county government first."

Wang An then remembered what Li Yu had said, and his face immediately turned pale with fright.

He could still hold his own against Mei Er Niang, but he had no chance of winning against Li Yu.

Wang Anniang was also scared when she heard Li Yu's words. She heard that the county officials valued Xiuwen's wife, and the county yamen runners were also friends with Xiuwen's wife. If her son went there, would he be able to come out alive?

The mother and son were trembling. Wang An said, "I didn't take the bricks away. You can't send me to the county."

Li Yu said expressionlessly: "But your theft is a fact. Even if you didn't succeed, it still counts as theft."

Wang An and Wang An's mother: "......."

At this time, Mei Erniang said, "I can go to the county government office for Wang An, but you have to give me a divorce letter and let Xiao Yuer follow me from now on."

Wang An and his mother looked up suddenly: "Really?"

Mei Er Niang nodded.

Wang An immediately called out to the village chief, "Uncle Li, I want to divorce this bitch. Please help me write the divorce papers."

*

Both parties agreed, and the village chief wrote the divorce documents for Wang An and Mei Er Niang without much effort.

The two put their fingerprints on each other to declare the end of their marital relationship.

Without going to the county government, Wang An's face turned better, and he cursed at Mei Erniang: "I have been deceived by you for so many years, you shrew."

Mei Erniang put away her own copy of the divorce letter and glared at him irritably, "You coward, if you dare to scold me again, I will beat you."

After saying that, she stopped looking at him and took her daughter Xiaoyuer to find Li Yu.

"Xiu Wen's wife, I'm ready. Please take me to the county."

Li Yu looked at her with a smile, "It's too hot, I don't want to move, so go to the ditch and pick up those bricks and put them back where they were, and we'll be done with this."
