The wife of two taels of silver

The next morning, Lin Haitang and the others prepared to return to the county town.

It has been several days since I last saw Gu Chen, and Lin Haitang really missed him.

Lin Qiaoxia came to see Lin Haitang off, bringing a lot of vegetables grown at home, as well as small clothes she made for Gu Chen. She made a lot of them, and they were all made of good materials.

Lin Haitang hugged Lin Qiaoxia, acted coquettishly, and said in a long voice: "Sister, you are so nice~"

"As long as you like it." Lin Qiaoxia smiled so hard that her eyes disappeared. She kept holding Lin Haitang's hand.

Lin Qiaoxia said, "Have you heard? Liu Dashui has gone crazy. He ran out this morning holding a paper man, looking mad and shouting that there were ghosts."

"I haven't heard of it." Lin Haitang pretended not to know.

"He deserves it! He deserves retribution!" Lin Qiaoxia spat.

As the carriage was driving on the road, it passed by the crazy Liu Dashui.

Liu Dashui was still holding the paper man, whose face had been scratched. He looked around nervously, muttering something.

Lin Haitang took a look through the curtain, then lowered it, looked at Gu Mo who was sleeping in her arms, and hugged him up to make him sleep more comfortably.

"Give it to me. He needs to sleep for a long time. Your arms can't take it." Gu An said to Lin Haitang, motioning her to let him hold Gu Mo.

Lin Haitang nodded and carefully placed Gu Mo in Gu An's arms.

The little guy rubbed himself against his father's arms, tightly grasped a strand of Gu An's hair, and slept peacefully.

Gu Zhilan looked at her brother sleeping and whispered to Lin Haitang, "Mom, my brother is a pig."

Lin Haitang smiled, picked up Gu Zhilan, and said, "Then, Lanlan, do you want to sleep?"

"Yes!" Gu Zhilan nodded her little head, found a comfortable position in her mother's arms, and closed her eyes.

The carriage shook as we traveled a long way, from the mountains to the market, from silence to bustle, and after a short while, we arrived home.

Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan woke up early and were chattering in the car.

When they got home, Gu Mo and Gu Zhilan jumped down first, pushed open the door and ran away. Their laughter startled Zhao Xiangjun, who quickly came out holding Gu Chen.

"Madam!" Zhao Xiangjun looked happy when she saw Lin Haitang.

When Gu Chen saw his mother, he curled his lips and started crying with his hands outstretched.

Lin Haitang quickly hugged Gu Chen and patted him to comfort him: "Do you miss me so much? It's okay, from today on, you can continue to sleep with me."

Gu Chen's nose was twitching as he cried. His short arms were tightly wrapped around Lin Haitang's neck, not moving at all.

Lin Haitang coaxed Gu Chen skillfully, and the little guy fell asleep in a short while.

Lin Haitang put Gu Chen on his little bed, but did not leave immediately. Instead, she patted his little body for a while. After making sure that he was asleep, Lin Haitang tiptoed out of the room and closed the door.

Lin Haitang found Gu An in the study and said straight to the point, "Write the divorce agreement. Once you're done, you have to take it to the government office to apply. It's getting late."

"And this is the money you gave me. Now I'm returning it to you." Lin Haitang put the banknote on the table.

Gu An pushed the money over and said, "This is yours forever, you don't have to give it to me anymore."

"This originally belonged to you. Besides, what will you do if you give me all the money?" Lin Haitang pushed the money back again. "Don't worry about me. I have enough money to spend."

Lin Haitang's eyes were full of persistence, so Gu An didn't force her anymore. He took the money back and said, "I'll start writing the divorce papers now."

Lin Haitang nodded and walked around the study room bored. She saw a book called "The Unofficial History of the Kang Dynasty". This piqued Lin Haitang's interest, so she took out the book and started reading.

After a while, Gu An finished writing the divorce letter.

"Haitang." Gu An called out.

"Ah?" Lin Haitang raised her head, glanced at the paper on the table, and said, "Oh, then let's go to the government office."

"I don't know when the approval from the government will come down..." Lin Haitang said to himself.

"I hope to come down a little later so that we can be husband and wife for one more day." Gu An suddenly said.

Lin Haitang looked at Gu An several times and couldn't help but say, "Gu An, have you read any books? Why are you saying everything now?"

After a moment of silence, Gu An said, "My mother came to me in a dream. She scolded me and said I was a waste because I couldn't keep my wife."

Lin Haitang laughed so hard that tears came out.
