Traveling to ancient times? Break off the relationship first! Then divorce! Make a lot of money

"Wait for me?" The village head put down his hoe and looked a little confused.

Yuan Junyao nodded repeatedly and asked, "Is there any vacant house in the village? I want to rent it temporarily."

"There are vacant houses." The village head asked in confusion, "Why are you renting a house? Is it your parents who want to rent it?"

"No, I rented it myself."

Yuan Junyao paused and said calmly, "I can't go back to my parents' home after the divorce, so I set up my own family."

She thought that these things could not be hidden from anyone anyway, and sooner or later everyone would know about it, so it was better to be open about it.

The village head showed an expression of disbelief, his eyes wide, "What did you say, you got divorced?"

This kind of thing was very rare in ancient times. In fact, suicide was much more common in comparison.

Yuan Junyao smiled slightly, not wanting to say more, but simply asked, "Uncle Village Chief, can you take me to see the empty house when you have time?"

The village head, a year younger than Yuan Shisheng, at 42, but no less staid, asked sternly, "Do your parents agree with your divorce?"

He expected that she would not agree, and everyone in the village knew about the affair between Yuan Junyao and Wang Tiedan, so his first reaction when he learned that Yuan Junyao was getting a divorce was that Yuan Junyao still couldn't forget her old lover.

"Whether they agree or not, I've already divorced. The government has officially sealed the divorce, and my household registration has been moved out."

Yuan Junyao felt a little tired and asked again, "Uncle Village Head, this matter is not important. Is there an empty house I want to rent?"

The village head said with a serious expression: "Yes, but I can't rent it to you unless your parents agree."

Yuan Junyao almost laughed out of anger, but because the man in front of her was the same age as her father, she didn't want to scold him too harshly, so she just said softly:

"I reported the divorce to the authorities, and the county magistrate ruled that the man was at fault, so he approved the divorce. I can take my dowry back, and the betrothal gift doesn't need to be returned.

"Does the village head think that the county magistrate made a wrong judgment?"

The village head didn't dare to say that the county magistrate had made a mistake. He just asked curiously, "What happened to you? Why do you want a divorce?"

But at this time his expression was much more relaxed.

If the fault lies with the man, since even the county magistrate advocates a divorce, then he must have gone too far.

But is there no room for change?

After all, divorce is not a good thing. Although it is better than being divorced, it is a dead end for women.

Because she would not have a share of her parents' land and property, let alone her husband's family's, she had nowhere to go and no food to eat.

Yuan Junyao took a deep breath. She really couldn't understand these people's train of thought.

Why is it so difficult to rent a house?

"Uncle Lizheng, I have no right to tell you about these private matters. Anyway, I have no connection with the Zhang family anymore, and my household registration has returned to Yuanjia Village. You should find me a house to live in first. I will settle down temporarily and then build a house to live in."

She said so, but what the village head said still had nothing to do with renting a house.

"Where did you get the money to build the house? Did your parents give it to you?" He sighed, "You really shouldn't have divorced me. How will your brother get married in the future?"

Yuan Junyao was really speechless now. Why was it so difficult to communicate with Zheng here? It was obvious that both parties were not speaking two different languages!

Yuan Junyao was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore. She really didn't want to explain anything.

When Hu Changgeng sent someone, they understood everything.

As a result, she didn't want to communicate anymore, and the focus here returned to the key point.

"There are a few empty houses. Let me take you to see them!"

The village head changed his mind only because they had already divorced and there was no room for maneuver.

Yuan Junyao breathed a sigh of relief and said gratefully, "Thank you, Uncle Village Chief."

The head of the village kept nagging along the way, mostly blaming her for getting a divorce, saying that she would be criticized by others, and that if she got a divorce she would have nowhere to go and would not be able to be independent, and that in the end she would still be implicated in her parents' family, etc.

Yuan Junyao listened to these words so many times that her ears were callused. Yuan Shisheng and Qi Meixiang had said them countless times.

There are three empty houses in the village.

One place has been empty for more than ten years and has no family left. The family had a son, but he died in an accident.

However, this house is uninhabitable. When the door was opened, the middle of the roof collapsed. The sunlight poured in, illuminating the mess inside the house. The ground was overgrown with weeds and there was no place to stand.

The village head lamented, "What a shame it was such a nice house! Now it's dangerous. We'll have to send someone to demolish it someday to avoid any accidents."

Yuan Junyao remained silent and then went to the next place with the village head.

"This is the house of Old Guantou. He passed away a few years ago, and now the house belongs to Guan Er and Guan San."

The old man was a bachelor. He had two younger brothers, both of whom had many children and grandchildren. After his death, the house became empty.

This house is a common adobe house. Through the crack in the door, you can see that there is nothing in the house. Because someone occasionally cleans it, it is not particularly messy, just a little dusty.

"This is it. The remaining room is not suitable either."

Yuan Junyao nodded, "Okay, let's do it here."

The village head led her away and said, "This matter still needs the consent of Guan Lao Er and Guan Lao San. I will go with you."

On the way there, the village head told her about the third empty house and said that if Guan Laoer and the others did not agree to rent it, then they could only rent the third one.

The third place is inhabited by only an old man. The house type is similar to that of Zhang's, with a concave structure, divided into the main house and east and west wing rooms.

If Yuan Junyao wants to rent, she can only rent the east wing or the west wing.

The old man's wife passed away two years ago and they had two sons.

A few years ago, one of his two sons joined the army to fight, and the other went far away as a merchant and never returned.

The consequences of fighting are very serious. No one is seen dead or alive, and there is no news at all.

The whereabouts of the traveling merchant are unknown, and it is not known whether he died in a foreign land.

These two sons raised the old man in vain. When the old man died, there was no one to see him off. The remaining old lady had a miserable and lonely old age. It was really pitiful.

As they were talking, they arrived at Guan Laoer's house.

Guan Laoer was not at home, but his wife was. She was over sixty years old and could no longer work due to poor health. She could only wash clothes and cook at home. His son, daughter-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters had all gone to the fields.

The old lady was a little deaf. The head of the village talked to her several times but she didn't understand what he meant. What she said was always irrelevant. Yuan Junyao was speechless.

The village head was helpless and was about to go to the fields to look for Guan Laoer, but unexpectedly, Guan Laoer's daughter-in-law Jiang came back, carrying a basket of pig grass, and asked in confusion: "Uncle village head, why are you here?"

The village head explained his purpose to her. She was happy when she heard that the empty house was to be rented out. After all, it was empty anyway, and she could make some money by renting it out.

But she couldn't make the decision on this matter. She had to ask her father-in-law and her own husband. Besides, this was not a house that belonged to just one person in their family.
