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

Hearing what Shopkeeper Tong said, Old Lady Huang saw that the ground was gray and white, like the Queen Mother who was about to die. Her eyes flashed and she spoke.

"Hmph, she was ill to begin with. My son just pushed her lightly. It's her own bad luck that she lost her life..."

"Whether she has bad luck or it is your son's fault is not for you to decide. When it comes to court, the officials will naturally investigate..."

The village chief was really fed up. There was not a single good person in the Huang family, from the oldest to the youngest. The village chief glanced at Huang's father who had been silent. He looked like an honest man, but in fact he was mean and mean. So without waiting for Huang's wife to finish, he spoke patiently.

At this time, Doctor Shi came back after a walk outside. In front of everyone, he deliberately opened his medicine box, took out a piece of ginseng from it, stuffed it into the Queen Mother's mouth, and then began to speak.

"Well, I've done everything I can. Whether she can wake up depends on her own luck..."

As soon as Doctor Shi said this, the expressions of the Huang family members all changed. Old Mrs. Huang's cloudy eyes rolled around and she suddenly spoke.

"You can divorce me, and they don't have to pay for our medical expenses. Naturally, we won't pay for the old woman's medical expenses either. We can just pay for our own expenses. However, since you want to divorce me, you have to return every penny of the eight taels of silver that our family paid as a betrothal gift to us..."

She saw Doctor Shi stuffing such a large piece of ginseng into the mouth of that short-lived ghost. If they were asked to be responsible for each other's medical expenses, her family would definitely suffer the loss.

But the betrothal gift offered by her family was real. Moreover, when this little whore married into their family, their family was so poor that they only gave her two quilts as a dowry. Thinking of this, Old Lady Huang rolled her eyes at Wang Yan'er, who looked weak at the moment, and cursed in a low voice.

"Bah, a family of short-lived ghosts..."

Wang Yaner glanced at her mother who was still unconscious, and grabbed her brother who was about to go forward and fight with her. Now was not the time to act on impulse.

Originally, Wang Yan'er felt relieved when she heard Mrs. Huang say that she agreed to the divorce. However, when she heard that they were asked to return the betrothal gifts, her face turned ugly and her heart was filled with sadness.

She knew that Old Lady Huang was doing this on purpose. She knew they couldn't come up with that much money right away, so she was forcing her to agree to the divorce...

Wang Yan'er looked at her younger brother, then at her mother, who was still unconscious beside her. Her eyes were filled with pain. She didn't care about her reputation, but she was afraid that the reputation of being divorced would affect her brother's future marriage...

When Old Lady Huang saw Wang Yaner's ugly expression, a hint of pride flashed across her eyes.

"Hmph, you little whore who can't lay eggs, you'd better pack up your things and take your short-lived mother and your bastard brother out of my Huang family. I will let my son give you a letter of divorce. If you want a divorce, you'd better return the eight taels of silver as a betrothal gift..."

Everyone was really shocked by the Huang family's shamelessness, especially the village chief's wife, who started cursing them directly.

"You are not afraid of being struck by lightning for saying such things. This girl married into your family at a young age and worked like a slave for you for more than a year. You tortured her and injured her body. Now you are getting divorced, and you still say such things. Do you still want to keep your face?"

Han Yiyi, who was in the crowd, looked at the hateful face of Old Lady Huang and really wanted to go up and scratch her, but she also knew that she had no position at the moment. As Aunt Zhang said, the only person who was suitable to speak at this time and could slightly suppress Old Lady Huang was the village chief's wife.

When the village chief saw that his wife's finger was about to poke Old Mrs. Huang's face, he quickly pulled her back, looked at the Huang family with eyes full of disappointment, and asked.

"Are you sure about that?"

"Of course, the laws of our dynasty stipulate that when divorcing, the man can ask the woman to return the betrothal gift..."

Beichen does have such a law, but it only requires the return of the betrothal gift when the man's quality of life declines after paying a large betrothal gift, and the woman has committed a serious fault. In this case, since the Huang family's living standards haven't declined due to the betrothal gift issue, and Wang Yan'er has no serious past, it's naturally unnecessary.

But if Old Lady Huang insisted that the Huang family had become financially strapped since they paid the eight taels of silver as a betrothal gift, and that Wang Yan'er had brought her own mother and brother into the Huang family, beating her as the mother-in-law was just beating her filial piety, then no one else could do anything about it.

Finally, after repeated persuasion and threats from the village chief, the Huang family agreed that as long as the Wang family could pay four taels of silver, they would immediately write a divorce letter.

Although it was only half the amount, it was not a small number for the Wang family. At this time, Wang's mother had woken up, but she was still a little weak.

After searching his entire body, he only managed to pull out twenty or thirty copper coins.

Although everyone felt sympathy, four taels of silver was not a small amount after all, and everyone was living a tight life. Moreover, the Wang family was not from the village. In addition, the Wang family consisted of old and young people, and two of the three were sick. Everyone was even more worried that if they lent the money, the Wang family would not be able to repay it and the money would be wasted.

Seeing this, Han Yiyi was about to take out the silver, but his eyes caught the basket of cleaned small fish at the door. His eyes flashed and he couldn't help but raise his voice and ask.

"Whose fish is this..."

When everyone heard Han Yiyi's voice, they all looked towards the door. Wang Xiaojiang naturally heard Han Yiyi's voice as well. Something flashed in his eyes, and he quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

This fish was specially sent by the mother and son of the Wang family to Wang Yan'er to nourish her body. However, before they entered the door, they saw Wang Yan'er being beaten, and in a hurry they threw the fish at the door.

The fish were cleaned very cleanly. They were all small fish the size of a palm. They looked to weigh about three or four pounds in total, and they were all about the same size. It was obvious that the person who cleaned them put a lot of effort into it.

When Han Yiyi saw Wang Xiaojiang pick up the basket, he turned around and pulled the shopkeeper Tong next to him and spoke before he could speak.

"Manager Tong, didn't your Yunlai Restaurant say that someone wants to eat this small fish today? What do you think of this..."

Shopkeeper Tong, who was furious at the Huang family's shamelessness, was suddenly pulled by Han Yiyi. He heard him say that Yunlai Restaurant accepted small fish, and he didn't agree for a while. When he saw Han Yiyi blinking at him, he suddenly realized and spoke quickly.

"Yes, yes, these fish look good to me. We will buy them from Yunlai Restaurant and give them to you, five taels of silver..."
