Song Chunlan was just worried about her own sadness and was afraid of being blamed, so she was only thinking about how to shirk responsibility and didn't notice that the village head was still there.

The village head said coldly, "How can you be so shameless? I saw Jun Yao coming back with the vegetable basket with my own eyes.

There were indeed mushrooms and wild vegetables inside, and the fire had nothing to do with her. How can you slander her?"

Zhang Guicai, his son and his two sons were so tired that they had no strength to speak. They didn't know how many buckets of water they had carried back and forth.

They wanted to stop Song Chunlan when she accused Yuan Junyao just now, but they were powerless. Now that she said such words in front of the village head, they were afraid that Yuan Junyao would not let it go.

When Song Chunlan saw the headman's dark face, she was so frightened that she couldn't speak.

Yuan Junyao cried, "I really can't live anymore. I will die in this house sooner or later. If I didn't die last time, I will die this time too."

Someone on the side quickly comforted her, "Don't talk nonsense, you are still young, there is no life or death, there is nothing you can't get through, you can always live a good life."

The village head looked at Song Chunlan with even more unfriendly eyes.

But Song Chunlan also felt uncomfortable!

She has been busy all day, getting up early to wash clothes, cook, serve the whole family, and take care of her mentally ill daughter.

After that, I have to cut grass for the pigs and take care of the animals in the backyard, and also work in the vegetable garden.

If someone had offered to lend a hand, even if it was just one small thing for her, she wouldn't have been so hasty in cooking for the people coming back from working in the fields that she would have caused the fire.

But she couldn't refute a word now, and could only swallow all her resentment and hatred.

Zhang Guicai struggled to stand up, supporting himself with his hands on his knees. His legs were sore and swollen that he could not move. He said weakly, "She is panicking and worried about the burned house, which has caused her mind to be confused. That's why she said these nonsense. Don't pay attention to her, village head."

The village head snorted coldly, still very dissatisfied.

Zhang Guicai then said to Yuan Junyao, "Junyao, don't argue with your mother. She's so angry that she's confused."

Yuan Junyao stood up suddenly and said loudly: "You said you don't care about it, so you don't care about it. Then are you going to let go of the inexplicable grievances I suffered?

If you say I am being wronged, then I am being wronged. If you say I should be divorced, then I should be divorced. If you say you won’t give me food, then I won’t be fed.

There's no such thing as an easy thing in this world. How can I take back what I've said? I don't want to let it go this time. I want a divorce!"

There was a sudden silence around, and everyone thought they had misheard.

Zhang Lai Fu stared at Yuan Junyao with a dark face, and Zhang Guicai and Zhang Lai Fu also changed their expressions.

The most emotional person was Song Chunlan, who easily lost her rationality when angry.

"What qualifications do you have to ask for a divorce, you little bitch! You've ruined our family, you only deserve to be divorced."

Zhang Guicai was so anxious that he tried to pull her away, "Shut up, shut up!"

But he was so tired that he spoke in a low voice and had no deterrent effect at all. Song Chunlan acted as if she didn't hear his voice and shook off his hand.

Yuan Junyao cried even more sadly, but there were no tears on her face.

"Tell me clearly, what have I done to my family?" She immediately looked at the head of the village.

"Village head, please give me justice. I want a divorce. I must get a divorce this time. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should I be divorced?"

"You deserve to be divorced. You haven't even consummated your marriage with Lai Fu yet. You've broken the seven grounds for divorce and haven't carried on the family line for your husband's family!"

"Don't say anymore." Zhang Lai Fu's face flushed red.

The people around exclaimed in surprise and started talking about it.

"How come we haven't consummated our marriage yet after over a month of marriage?"

"Isn't it said that Laifu's daughter-in-law had a lover before she married? Could it be that she is keeping her virginity for her lover?"

"Who knows, but it's definitely not normal to not sleep together for a month after getting married."

Listening to the discussions around her, Song Chunlan thought she had the upper hand and became even more aggressive.

"Yuan Junyao, I'm going to have my son write you a letter of divorce. Take it and go back to the Yuan family. Your parents will return my thirty taels of betrothal gift and compensate us with another thirty taels!"

"You are so deceitful!"

Yuan Junyao stopped crying immediately, pointing at Zhang Laifu and shouting angrily, "You can't blame me for not consummating the marriage. You might as well ask your son, can such a thing be left to a woman?

If he doesn't touch me, does that mean I have to consummate the marriage on my own? There's no such thing in the world!" After saying this, she lowered her head as if embarrassed.

As soon as she said this, everyone's attention instantly focused on Zhang Lai Fu again.

Zhang Lai Fu just felt like he was being roasted on a fire.

He was not good at speaking and his face turned red. He could not refute Yuan Junyao's words because she had never resisted his contact. It was he who had never taken that step.

She didn't refuse explicitly. He could see that she was reluctant and didn't want to force her, but she didn't say she didn't want to...so how could he explain it clearly?

He couldn't tell.

Song Chunlan was angry at her son's incompetence and wanted to say something but was stopped by the village head.

"Okay, don't you think this is not embarrassing enough?" The village head's forehead was throbbing, and he had a headache.

Song Chunlan closed her mouth with a gloomy face, and Yuan Junyao lowered her head as if she was crying.

The village head scolded Song Chunlan again and blamed Zhang Laifu as well. Finally, he said to Yuan Junyao, "When you live under the same roof, there are bound to be bumps and bruises.

Now that things have gotten this bad, I'll divide the family property between you. Your east wing has burned down, so it's a good opportunity for you to move in separately."

A calculation flashed in Song Chunlan's eyes. She thought that her eldest son couldn't have children anymore, so it would be good if the family could be divided up.

Zhang Guicai sighed and said, "Village Head, can we divide the family?"

"No." The village head refused sternly with a serious face.

"Don't talk about not dividing the family while your parents are still alive. When your mother was alive, you brothers also divided the family property, and the family property must be divided equally, just like when your mother divided the family property."

Song Chunlan immediately screamed, "No, we can't divide it like this."

The village head glared at her and said sternly, "This is your family affair and I have no business interfering. But if this gets out, the whole village will be embarrassed. Who will dare to marry their daughter to Dahuai Village in the future?"

Song Chunlan didn't dare to contradict the village head and could only look at Yuan Junyao with resentment.

He is indeed a jinx, causing such a disaster to the family!

If you want to divide the family, you might as well divorce her!

The village head turned around and discussed the division of the family with Yuan Junyao in a gentle voice.

Yuan Junyao just said firmly: "I said I want a divorce!"

The village head frowned and advised, "Why bother? Divorce does more harm than good, and how can your family accept it?"

Yuan Junyao stared into the eyes of the village head and said word by word, "I don't want to die. If I don't divorce, I can't survive in their house. Sooner or later, the tragedy will repeat itself!"

The village head immediately thought of Zhang Lai Fu’s first daughter-in-law who committed suicide.

The poor woman once cried and begged him for justice.
