After being divorced, I took care of my two children and reached the peak of my life

Old Lady Fan had a thin face, high cheekbones, and a pair of triangular eyes. One could tell at a glance that she was a mean old woman. At this moment, she was staring at Han Yiyi with disgust.

Normally, she would either beat or scold the two children, thinking that they were as useless as their mother, so Daya and Shitou were very afraid of her.

Seeing the fear in Shitou's eyes and hearing his grandmother's voice, Han Yiyi felt like her heart was about to melt. She was about to speak and say that if they didn't agree, she would take the two children away, and she would go to the town and spread the news that a man was going to abandon his wife as soon as he passed the imperial examination.

His reputation was ruined, and it was unclear whether he could maintain his reputation as a scholar. She knew that the ancient imperial examinations not only looked at knowledge but also examined character.

But before Han Yiyi could speak, he heard the round-faced woman tugging at the man's sleeve and speaking in a tender voice.

"Brother Ting, I don't want to be another child's stepmother, and then the baby will be in my belly..." As she said this, she lowered her head slightly to look at her flat belly.

Han Yiyi saw the woman's movements and knew that she must be pregnant. He thought to himself, "Great! If she doesn't agree, I'll have another piece of material to spread the word. In ancient times, unmarried pregnancy was punishable by being thrown into a pig cage. Then, this couple will have a bad ending."

Hearing Han Yiyi's words, the man frowned. If he didn't want the girl, then he didn't want her, but Xiao Shitou was a boy. Just as his mother said, he was the child of his Fan family.

However, seeing the expression of the woman next to him, he thought that not only was she pregnant with his own child, but he was also still young and would have plenty of opportunities to give birth to a son in the future. Besides, the son born by this unpresentable idiot would probably be useless.

Thinking of this, he patted the woman's hand soothingly and whispered something in her ear. The woman couldn't help but glared at the man, then nodded with a slightly red face.

Seeing that her son didn't say anything, Fan's mother became anxious and wanted to go over and pull Xiao Shitou over. However, she had just taken two steps when her arm was grabbed by the man.

"Mom, if that ungrateful little bastard wants to leave, let him go. I'm still young, and my son can have as many children as he wants in the future..."

Then he whispered in Fan's mother's ear, "Mother, Cuihua is pregnant with my child. The doctor has checked it and it's a boy. You will have a grandson in the future. Cuihua's mother has agreed. Cuihua will have a dowry of twenty taels when she marries..."

As Fan Ting spoke, he glanced at Han Yiyi with disdain. "That's twenty taels. I wonder how many handkerchiefs this useless, yellow-faced woman could embroider with it..."

If she hadn't been useless, I wouldn't have to use the worst pens, ink, paper, and inkstone among my classmates.

When Fan's mother heard the price of twenty taels, her eyes lit up. They were farmers, and they could only save four or five taels of silver after working hard all year round. They were willing to give twenty taels at once, so they must be from a wealthy family.

Then, she, as a mother, would no longer have to worry about her son's education money. Not only that, as a mother-in-law, she would also be able to reap many benefits in the future, and perhaps even live a life of ordering servants around...

At this time, Fan's mother had forgotten that since the original owner Han Yiyi married into their Fan family at the age of fifteen, the money her son used for his studies was all embroidered by this useless daughter-in-law in her eyes, and she had never spent a penny. Even so, the original owner could not fall behind in any of the housework such as washing clothes, cooking and working in the fields, otherwise she would be scolded by Fan's mother.

Recalling the original owner's experience, Han Yiyi felt more and more that this mother and son were like blood-sucking leeches. After they were done, they still complained that your blood was not enough. They were so greedy and disgusting.

Thinking of this, Han Yiyi took a look at the two babies and became even more determined to sever ties with this disgusting mother and son.

With the dowry of twenty taels of silver, and the fact that she was already pregnant with the child of their Fan family, Fan's mother naturally cared about Xiao Shitou's grandson, so she spoke.

"Okay, take these two ungrateful people with you. I wonder how you'll feed them. If you beg in the future, remember to stay away from our scholar's residence to avoid bringing bad luck to us..."

Han Yiyi rolled her eyes in her heart. With only three shabby thatched houses, she still called it a mansion. She was not afraid of being laughed at when she said it. Judging from the aura, people who knew that her son had passed the imperial examination would think that he had passed the imperial examination to become a scholar, while those who didn't would think that he had passed the imperial examination to become the top scholar.

However, even though she was complaining in her heart, Han Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Mrs. Fan agree to let her take Xiao Shitou away, so she quickly spoke to the mother and son.

"Then write a letter of severance. That way, when you become a high-ranking official in the future, you will have a good life and won't have to worry about the two kids relying on you..."

When Fan Ting heard Han Yiyi asking him to write a letter of severance, he was a little hesitant, after all, this was his child.

Even a little girl like Daya will be able to find a husband to marry in a few years, and the bride price will be at least a few taels of silver. Besides, when Xiao Shitou grows up, he will be his father, so it is only natural for him to ask for some filial money every month. But if the engagement is severed, these will have nothing to do with him.

But on second thought, just as the old woman said, he was now a scholar, and it was only a matter of time before he became a high official. In order to prevent them from asking for money and relying on him in the future, Fan Ting decided to write a letter of severance.

Fan Ting quickly returned to the room and took out a pen and paper, and wrote on the paper that he had broken up with the two dolls. Seeing the man sign his name, Han Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief and quickly got up to take it.

Just as he stood up, he suddenly felt dizzy and almost fell to the ground again. Fortunately, someone supported his arm at this time, so he didn't fall again.

Han Yiyi turned around and saw an old woman with gray hair and a kind face. According to the original owner's memory, this person was Aunt Zhang who lived next door to the Fan family, so Han Yiyi began to thank her.

"Thank you, auntie..."

Aunt Zhang was a kind person. When she saw the wound on Han Yiyi's head, her eyes were filled with heartache and she sighed, "Oh! You child, you have a miserable life..."

An old man came in with Aunt Zhang. He was in his fifties or sixties and was the village chief of Zhushan Village. There was a sense of majesty in the village chief's eyes. When he saw the letter of severance in Fan Ting's hand and the letter of divorce thrown on the ground, his eyes were full of disapproval.

"Boy from the Ting family, what are you doing? How can you do such a thing as divorcing your wife and abandoning your children just after passing the imperial examination? Don't you want to keep your reputation anymore..."

Seeing the village chief coming, Fan Ting and his mother both felt a little guilty. Fan's mother glanced at the people watching the excitement outside the wall and thought to herself, I wonder which gossipy woman brought the village chief here.
