After farming, I opened a family tree
Chapter 41 Harmony
Peace and separation.
The yard was silent for a second, and then it was broken by Old Lady Shen.
"You are not allowed to divorce! You are a disgrace. The Shen family does not have daughters who divorce! If you want to divorce, get out of the Shen family!"
Divorce can only be done if one has done something wrong in the husband's family.
In the surrounding area, if a daughter is sent back to her parents' home by her husband's family, it is truly shameful.
"I won't allow you to divorce me. Otherwise, you can go back to the Shen family with a divorce letter."
"These two children are the blood of my Qin family, so naturally they have to follow me back to the Qin family."
Qin Ju also spoke.
"Uncle!"
Qin Ju ignored Old Lady Shen's cries.
He had wanted to divorce his wife for a long time, but Shen had done nothing wrong and had given birth to a pair of children for him.
But he could not read or write, and they had no feelings for each other after two years of marriage.
The reason why he was able to live well these years was because Shen was sensible and never interfered with him too much, and he managed the household well.
So he was willing to keep this yellow-faced woman. Besides, Rou Niang also gave birth to a child for him, so he loved Rou Niang even more. He tried many times to have Rou Niang's child registered under Shen's name, but the other party was unwilling.
He was his favorite child, and he couldn't bear to see that he came from a lowly background.
I didn't expect that Shen would come up with it on his own since I couldn't find an excuse to bring it up in the past.
"No, you already have a child at home, so my child will naturally belong to me."
Shen Qingqing divorced just to be able to take the child with her. She didn't dare to imagine what life would be like for the child if he stayed in the Qin family.
"Shen, if you divorce, the child will belong to my Qin family. My Qin family has raised them until now, spending so much money and effort. If the child is with you, can you afford to raise him?"
"If you want to take the children with you, that's fine. You have to compensate my Qin family for all the effort and money we've spent on them over the years. I won't ask for more than one thousand taels! The two children are yours."
With one thousand taels, he can manage things on his own, and his daughter can be married off in exchange for some other resources.
Qin Ju looked like he was giving you a good deal.
Shen Qingqing took a breath of cold air.
"If you can't come up with a thousand taels, then just come home with me. Or, if you want a divorce, the child can come back with me to the Qin family, and we'll have nothing to do with each other in marriage."
Even Shen Dashan and Liu were frightened by Qin Ju's loud mouth.
One thousand taels! That's a lot of silver. I can't spend it all in my lifetime.
Old Mrs. Shen seemed to be so shocked by Qin Ju's words that she couldn't speak. She turned around and immediately scolded Shen Qingqing.
"You're giving up your good life and insisting on getting a divorce! You're a fool blinded by greed! Why don't you apologize to your son-in-law and take your children back home to live a good life!"
"A divorced woman will be stabbed in the back! My Shen family can't afford to lose this person!"
As he said this, he came over to pull Shen Qingqing.
"How dare you push your mother!"
Old Mrs. Shen widened her eyes. Her daughter actually dared to push her!
"Is it true that after I give you the money, you will divorce me and you won't want either my aunt or the child?"
Shen Tang suddenly spoke.
"Of course. As long as you can give me one thousand taels, I will write a letter of divorce right now."
"But I don't think you can get it out, so you'd better come back to me in a good mood—"
"Okay, I promise you, but I have a request."
Just as Qin Ju was about to speak with pride and contempt, he was interrupted.
"What! You agreed?"
"What did you, a child, promise? Children shouldn't interrupt when adults are talking."
Qin Ju didn't take it seriously, thinking that Shen Tang was too young to know how much silver one thousand taels was.
Shen Dashan and Liu swallowed their saliva.
"Then it's up to you."
The others couldn't understand what was going on, but Qin Wanwan knew that her cousin was going to take action for them.
Shen Tang turned around and went into the house and opened the box given by Xiang Niang.
There was a total of more than one thousand taels of silver in it.
The reason why Shen Tang took action was very simple. Shen Qingqing proposed a divorce today. She did not expect it, but she also admired her courage.
But if the divorce is unsuccessful this time, the life for them, mother and daughter, will be real hell when they return home.
Judging from Qin Ju's temper, he will definitely torture him until he is unrecognizable.
She is not a saint, but in her memory, this aunt and cousin were really nice to her original self.
I believe if it were her original self, she would definitely be willing to take action.
As long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough.
Shen Tang took the banknote and stuffed it into his sleeve.
Outside the courtyard, Shen Dashan and Liu also felt sorry for the one thousand taels, but after all, they were their sister and niece, and people were more important than money.
"Hmph, then I'll see if you can really come up with the money!"
Shen Tang walked slowly into the courtyard.
"I want you to write not only a divorce letter, but also a severance letter."
"In the letter of severance, you must write that from now on, Wanwan and Ayan have no relationship with you or the Qin family. From now on, neither party will have anything to do with the other, whether in life or death, wealth or marriage. You are no longer relatives, and Wanwan and Ayan will not be recorded in your Qin family tree."
"That won't do. They are still my children. This won't do!"
Qin Ju thought about it and decided that if anything happened in the future, he would always have to leave himself a way out.
"One thousand taels, to buy their lives. You said one thousand taels, didn't you mean you wanted to sell them? Coincidentally, I was kind-hearted and bought them."
"They will have to work like slaves for me, Shen Tang, from now on. After all, one thousand taels is not a small amount."
"If you're willing, write it. If not, let them go back with you. But think carefully. If they go back with even a hair missing, my Shen family will report you to the police and accuse you of abusing your children, having a lax family tradition, and having a terrible character."
There was a rule in the Great Qi that people with bad character would have their titles revoked even if they had achieved honors in the imperial examinations.
Sure enough, Qin Ju's face changed after hearing this.
After a long silence,
"Okay, I'll sign!"
After all, the betrothal gift given by Mr. Li was only two hundred taels, and now the brother and sister each get one thousand taels, which means five hundred taels each.
Not to mention that Qin Yan is still young, it will cost money to marry a new wife in the future, so it is cost-effective no matter how you look at it.
Qin Ju gritted his teeth, and Shen Tang took out the pen and ink that he had prepared long ago.
But in a short while, Qin Ju had written the letter of reasonableness and the letter of severing the relationship.
"Please, Master Qin, help me write a personal indenture."
"kindness?"
"Even brothers should settle accounts clearly. I spent a thousand taels, not to buy the young master and the young lady. They have to work for me. Only when they pay back the thousand taels can they be free."
Qin Ju thought Shen Tang was just talking, but he didn't expect him to actually ask him to write a contract.
It seems that the eldest family of the Shen family is not a good person. Fortunately, he did not make any unreasonable demands before.
After several people put their fingerprints on the contract and accepted it, Shen Tang handed the banknote to Qin Ju.
Old Mrs. Shen was completely confused by all this, and only reacted when Shen Tang took out the banknotes.
The eldest wife actually accumulated such a huge fortune!
"It's getting late, Master Qin, please go back."
Shen Tang ordered them to leave, and then spoke again,
Qin Ju happily took the silver and went out without looking at the people present.
After everyone left the yard, Shen Qingqing hugged Qin Yan and cried out loud.
