"Brother Zhao, you and your son have gone too far. Why did you push little Zhao to death?"

An elderly man in the crowd spoke up. He had sat at the head table at the Huanxi family banquet before. It was only natural that he should speak up for Zhao Yatou.

Faced with the accusations from an old man older than him, Zhao Mancai suddenly felt embarrassed.

"Zhao girl, don't cry first. This is in Dashi Village, not that rotten place in his Shili Village. If you have any grievances, we will help you." The old man continued.

"Sister Huanxi, don't cry first. We don't want such relatives." Hongying also comforted the crying Zhao Huanxi.

Zhao Huanxi pretended to wipe away her tears and said coldly, "My dear uncles and aunts, please bear witness today. I am willing to sever ties with them. They are no longer my relatives."

Zhao Mancai: "Don't even think about it! If you don't pay me the money today, you still want to break off the engagement. It's impossible."

"Today, you have to break it, whether you want to or not. If you break it, I'm willing to give you dozens of taels as retirement money. If you don't break it, you won't get a cent, and I'll even let the dogs bite you."

"Sister, this is what you said. Don't even think about going back to your parents' home. Your parents will just treat you as their daughter." When Zhao Fengnian heard that there was still money to be gained, he immediately stepped forward and said righteously.

Zhao Huanxi rolled her eyes: "I don't care."

She walked into the house and took out the letter of severance. She had asked the village elder to write it for her when they had come to cause trouble last time. She hadn't expected to need it until today.

"Sign it, let's keep it that way."

"Wait, where is the silver?" Zhao Fengnian became alert. He always felt that it was too easy to get the silver.

Zhao Huanxi pulled out a fist-sized cloth bag from his bosom. He pulled out a few small coins from it and put them back in his pocket. He sneered and said, "It's not too much to leave some for the resettlement expenses."

The cloth bag was bulging, looking like it held around twenty taels. The way she handled the silver seemed to show a hint of distress, so the father and son didn't suspect anything.

She weighed the cloth bag in her hand, and the sound of silver clattering against each other made the father and son feel itchy.

"Do you want it? If you want it, sign it."

Zhao Fengnian pulled Zhao Mancai, and after a glance, they both nodded in agreement.

They were both illiterate, so they just walked up and pressed their fingerprints, which was considered signing. This was a very normal thing in the countryside.

Zhao Huanxi held the letter of severance and looked at the father and son as if they were two dead people.

He whispered to Hongying twice, and she immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhao Huanxi tied the cloth bag into a knot and threw it to the father and son. He called out to the villagers:

"Everyone has seen it. The silver has been given and the handprints have been taken. The money and goods have been paid! Now that the relationship has been severed, these two are no longer my relatives. Please have pity on us, an orphan and a widow, and drive them out of the village so that I can have peace."

He took out the resettlement allowance he had just left and tried to give it to everyone, but was rejected.

"Sister, we are not the kind of people who cannot distinguish right from wrong. Since we are being bullied by outsiders, there is no reason for us to sit back and do nothing."

"That's right, Miss Zhao. We all know your personality when we worked at your house before. We won't make up stories about you."

Many people spoke up for her, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Zhao Mancai picked up the cloth bag on the ground and wanted to open it, but he was pushed and dragged out of the village along with Luo's wooden cart by those people.

Zhao Mancai took the silver, so he left without much resistance. When they were pushed to the village entrance, some children threw mud at them.

Aunt Huanxi is so nice. You can get candy when you go to her house to play. These people bully Aunt Huanxi. They are not good people.

When they arrived at the village entrance, many people had gathered and started cursing at the father and son.

Zhao Mancai didn't care. He had the money anyway, so he dragged the cart carrying Luo Shi towards Shili Village, completely ignoring the villagers' curses behind him.

Anyway, the matter is now settled. Zhao Huanxi walked into the yard and closed the gate.

Hongying followed behind carefully, not daring to speak. Judging from her sister Huanxi's expression, she must be feeling uncomfortable.

"Hongying, why are you looking at me?"

Zhao Huanxi was puzzled because there was nothing on her face.

"Sister Huanxi, are you... okay?"

"I'm fine. But you, that fat guy offended you, I want to apologize to you." She didn't feel sad at all, she was even secretly happy that she had made the two of them sign the divorce agreement willingly without any effort.

The bag was actually filled with stones. Only the small amount of money she gave as resettlement allowance was real silver; the rest was just stones. Just kidding, I earned a little money by climbing mountains and rivers, and I would rather feed it to the dogs than give it to those people who were worse than pigs and dogs.

Humph, I've paid the money and the letter. If you come to cause trouble again next time... I might even need a bodyguard.

Hongying waved her hands and said with an awkward smile, "It's okay, it's okay, Sister Huanxi, are you really okay?"

"I'm fine, but I'm a little tired after performing this show. Let's go upstairs and sit down and rest for a while."

She pulled Hongying to sit under the back patio while Yuyan cleaned up the house. She wanted to go out to see what was happening outside, but the three maids stopped her.

This was Huanxi's instruction. The three children had nothing to do with this matter, and Yu Yan had nothing to do with it either.

So handle the things that you can handle yourself, and there is no need to worry about anyone else.

At this time, the father and son walked for a while and found that no one was throwing stones behind them. They opened the cloth bag with rapid heartbeats to see how much silver was inside.

When they opened it, there were only a few stones inside, and no trace of silver.

"Dad! We've been tricked!"

"How dare this damn girl come with us for nothing? Let's go! Go back and find her!"

When Zhao Fengnian heard this, he suddenly calmed down. The group of villagers almost devoured them alive just now. If they went back now, they would definitely suffer the consequences.

Let’s just go all out…

"Dad, come here, listen to me... Let's go tonight..."

Zhao Fengnian pulled his father aside and whispered to him for a long time. The old man nodded continuously and praised his son for having a solution.

This Zhao Huanxi actually dared to frame him, so he shouldn't be afraid of the revenge from the father and son.

Mrs. Luo, who was standing nearby, heard their conversation and shook her head in fear. Zhao Mancai, seeing that his wife hadn't been able to help at all, slapped Mrs. Luo across the face, leaving her dazed and unable to react for a long time.

She had been ill from giving birth to Zhao Fengnian in her early years, and she hadn't taken care of her body. Thanks to the care of the original owner, she had been able to live a relatively comfortable life without any major problems.

But once the original owner got married, all the big and small matters of the family fell on her shoulders. She couldn't bear it anymore and caught a cold, which led to a stroke, leaving her paralyzed in bed and unable to move.

So when she saw her daughter living such a comfortable life, her first reaction was jealousy.

Now she heard that the father and son were actually trying to murder Zhao Huanxi, who was after all a piece of her flesh and blood, how could she not be afraid?

But being slapped made her sober up a lot.

No matter how good a daughter is, once she gets married she will belong to another family. Whether she lives or dies has nothing to do with her.

I just hope they don’t get caught doing this kind of bad thing…
