Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

The crowd erupted in excitement once again:

"They're really divorced? This Pearl is even more assertive than Liu Huifang, she just said she was getting a divorce and it was done."

"No wonder Pearl won't even ride in Pei Xiangyang's car. Pei Xiangyang is so heartless. He didn't even come back when Pearl gave birth, and he's only come back once in the past few years. It turns out he's been seeing other women outside."

"Pearl is such a good woman. She gets along well with everyone in our village. She's always busy at home or in the fields. She can endure more hardship than some men. Sigh..."

"I've never heard of anyone getting divorced before, even with kids this big..."

"It's just finding women, right? Yang is so rich, what's wrong with him finding women?"

"Divorce sounds bad. If a woman gets divorced, her family will be gossiped about. Isn't that harming her brothers?"

"I heard that Xiangyang and that woman have this kind of relationship. It's all messed up outside. Nine out of ten men who go out like to mess around."

"..."

The women who had originally wanted their men to go to work with Pei Xiangyang suddenly felt a pang of anxiety. What if their men went to work and found other women? Would they ever be able to live like that?

They didn't have Bai Zhenzhu's courage and boldness, nor did they have her family's support and willingness to divorce her.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Old Man Pei's face turned a deep, dark red with embarrassment. He then invited Old Man Bai into the house.

"In-laws, let's go inside and talk, let's go inside and talk."

Although Old Man Bai was much older than Old Man Pei, he had served in the army when he was young, and was tall and strong, making him look more imposing than Old Man Pei.

"There's nothing to say. The divorce is over. You'd better not interfere, or I'll report your son to the police for bigamy."

Old Pei and Cao Daniu didn't know what bigamy was, but they were terrified when they heard that the police should be notified.

Seeing Bai Chenglei and Bai Chengxiang carry out Bai Zhenzhu's large wardrobe, Cao Dani slapped her thigh and sat down on the ground, wailing:

"This is outrageous! That little slut Bai Zhenzhu is seducing men..."

With a "smack," Liu Fang slapped Cao Daniu across the face, stunning her.

Xu Yin, who was also heavily pregnant, came over to help.

The eldest sister-in-law was clumsy with words, but she was quick-witted. One of them used their hands and the other their mouth, working together seamlessly and giving Cao Daniu no chance to smear her.

"You old hag, my sister is such a delicate flower, but you've practically turned her into a weed in these past few years. You keep her stuck in the fields working every day, you won't even let her go to the market, and she needs your permission to go back to her parents' home. Do you think you're the Empress Dowager?"

"I bother!"

"I've never seen such a vicious old woman as you! How dare you spread such filthy rumors about my sister? We'll tear your stinking mouth apart!"

"Elders, you are my witnesses. My sister has worked hard and been honest and upright in the Pei family. She has hardly ever spoken a word to any of the young men in your village. If this old hag is spreading rumors and slandering my sister, may her precious son Pei Xiangyang and Pei Xiangming, and her precious daughter Pei Wenyan, all suffer terrible fates!"

“You whore…” Cao Daniu pointed at Xu Yin.

When Cao Daniu gave birth to Pei Xiangyang, she injured her body. It took her eight years to give birth to her second son, Pei Xiangming, and another four years, when she was over thirty, to give birth to her youngest daughter, Pei Wenyan. All three children were her precious children. How dare Xu Yin use her precious children to cast a poisonous curse? Cao Daniu was furious.

"I'll fight you!"

Cao Daniu was furious and used her second move as a shrew: she stretched out her head and rammed into Xu Yin like a cannonball.

Liu Fang quickly pulled Xu Yin aside, then shoved Cao Daniu away.

Cao Daniu fell to the ground and started throwing a tantrum:

"They've beaten someone to death! These prostitutes from the Bai family have killed someone..."

The onlookers, unable to bear it any longer, began to offer their advice:

"We're all in-laws, let's talk this out."

Xu Yin immediately retorted:

"When your daughter is bullied, remember to speak properly."

The man: "..."

Cao Danu didn't have a good reputation in the village. Back when they lived in a collective, she was known for being cunning, mean-spirited, and sharp-tongued. The villagers who weren't on good terms with her didn't want to be scolded by Xu Yin and were too lazy to provoke her.

When the elders of the Pei family arrived after hearing the news, the Bai family father and sons had already brought out most of Bai Zhenzhu's dowry.

In the west wing, Pei Wenyan was fighting with Liu Fang over the dressing table.

“This is mine. You Bai family are shameless! My brother paid money to marry Bai Zhenzhu, and this dowry is ours. If she wants to leave, let her leave. She's a poor wretch anyway, and I don't care if she's my sister-in-law…”

"Slap!" Liu Fang slapped Pei Wenyan across the face again.

"You have no manners, you dare to take your sister-in-law's dowry and still have the nerve to do that? If you want to, go get married yourself."

Pei Wenyan was stunned by the beating; she had never been slapped before in her entire life.

Liu Fang swept the items on the dressing table to the ground with one arm, picked up the dressing table and handed it to Bai Chengxiang, then went back into the house to move the boxes.

"My Pechoin!" Pei Wenyan loved beauty even at a young age, and the Pechoin face cream she used was something she had pestered Bai Zhenzhu to buy for her.

After she picked up the face cream and hair oil from the ground, she saw that Liu Fang had thrown all the clothes from her suitcase onto the ground.

"my clothes!"

Liu Fang ignored her, picked up the large camphor wood box, and left.

Both the Bai family father and sons were carpenters, and the set of furniture that Bai Zhenzhu brought as part of her dowry was made by the three of them themselves, using only the finest materials.

Pearl said that all the dowry items had to be taken away, including the cupboard for storing bowls, the washbasin and washbasin stand, the table and stools, the grain cabinet, the bed, the sewing machine, the large desk...

When Bai Zhenzhu married into the Pei family, the Pei family had only built their house a few years ago, and it was empty inside.

Now that Bai Zhenzhu's dowry has been moved out, the house is empty again, with only two black trunks, an eight-immortal table, and four equally black benches left from Cao Danu's wedding.

There wasn't even room to put the bowls for eating; they were all placed on the stove.

The members of the Pei family naturally wanted to help when they saw this scene, but they were stopped by Old Man Bai before they could do anything:

“We’ve already got the divorce certificate. Pei Xiangyang is the one at fault. The government leaders have all agreed. My Pearl can take all her dowry with her.”

“If you dare to stop us from taking our things, we will call the police.”

Even the government leaders agreed, and when the Bai family threatened to report it to the police, the Pei family all retreated.

Cao Danu was so angry that she cursed loudly:

"What are you all standing there for? Da Niu, don't you want to work for Xiang Yang anymore?"

"Quickly take those things back for me! Those are my family's. When Xiangyang got married, my family gave a dowry of five hundred yuan. Not to mention these things, Bai Zhenzhu should be our family's slave and bear sons."

"Qiangzi, you guys get your stuff back for me, or don't even think about working for Xiangyang."

The young men who were eager to follow Pei Xiangyang out to make big money all stepped forward.

Just then, a bicycle bell rang.

Someone shouted, "Pearl is back!"
