Transmigrated Little Farm Girl Bringing Great Fortune

Chapter 61 Cutting flesh with a dull knife

Outside the county government office.

Tie Zhu paced back and forth anxiously.

After being driven away by the officials several times, he had no choice but to wait at the back gate of the county magistrate's house.

He knocked on the door and slipped a few copper coins into the doorman's pocket.

"Brother, I'm from Taoxi Village. Could you help me find Liu Dalang?"

Before long, Liu Dalang came running out.

Some surprises.

"Tiezhu! It's you!"

"Big Brother... I need to talk to you about something..." Tie Zhu lowered his eyes, looking somewhat embarrassed.

His mother is definitely involved in his brother being robbed this time.

But there was no other way but to find Liu Dalang.

With two sick family members, a lot of money has been spent.

If they don't find a job soon, their son and mother will have to stop taking their medication.

However, after visiting Master Tao's house several times, he learned that Master Tao had not returned home for five days.

His family members have also disappeared.

They had no choice but to plead here, "Brother, do you know where Master Tao has gone? I haven't seen him for several days."

Liu Dalang was a horse groom for the county magistrate, and he could go back home during his days off.

They're from the same village and have known each other since childhood.

Tao the clerk's affairs were no secret.

Seeing how anxious Tie Zhu was, he spoke frankly and without reservation.

He leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Master Tao has been imprisoned by the county magistrate and has been locked up for several days. I heard he has connections with those kidnappers, and I doubt he'll be getting out..."

A bolt of lightning struck.

Tie Zhu stood there, stunned.

It's over...

He lost his job!

Liu Dalang patted him on the shoulder, "Tiezhu, what do you want with Master Tao?"

Tie Zhu opened his mouth.

After a long while, he thanked Liu Dalang and staggered away.

They dared not linger for even a moment.

When he got home, he heard his mother calling his name in heart-wrenching cries.

"Tiezhu... my son, where have you gone? Don't you care about your mother anymore?"

She kept calling him and then calling Wu Hua'er.

But his wife acted as if she hadn't heard him, continuing to embroider in the yard.

Enraged, Tie Zhu roared at his wife, "Wu Hua'er, are you deaf? Didn't you hear your mother calling you?"

"Oh! Is she calling me?" Wu Hua'er looked up at him.

He looked completely innocent.

Tie Zhu trembled with anger, suppressing the resentment and rage in his heart.

"Flower, can you be reasonable?"

“If you don’t take care of Mother, how can I go out to work with peace of mind? Even if we have mountains of gold and silver at home, they will be eaten up. How can we survive?”

Wu Hua'er's eyes filled with tears, and she chuckled, "Live a life with me! You still think about living a life with me?"

Tie Zhu had never seen his wife like this before, and it sent chills down his spine.

"Flower, what's wrong?"

"Wang Tiezhu, don't think I don't know what you and your mother are up to. You just want to abandon Heiwa because he's become stupid, and divorce me to marry someone else, right?"

Wu Hua'er's voice was loud and clear.

He was speaking to Tiezhu, but he was saying it to Aunt Wang.

"Fine! If that's how it is, then let's not live like this anymore. You don't need to divorce me, let's just get a divorce! You hurry up and marry someone new, I'm not putting up with this anymore!"

Tie Zhu felt as if he had been struck by a heavy hammer in the chest.

My legs buckled and I could barely stand. I leaned against a pillar.

The voice trembled.

"You...you heard everything?"

Wu Hua'er lowered her eyes and remained silent.

She and Tiezhu were childhood sweethearts, which is why she was able to endure her mother-in-law's torment.

It was all because of Tie Zhu's genuine feelings for her.

Now... he actually wants to divorce her!

"Flower, where will you go after we get divorced? How will you survive?"

Tiezhu saw the resolve in his wife's eyes and tried to win her back with reality.

His father-in-law's family would never allow a daughter who had been divorced or separated from her husband to return.

Even if her parents were willing, her brother and sister-in-law would not agree.

With tears in her eyes, Wu Hua'er smiled and said, "That's right, I can't go back to my parents' home, but I have hands and feet. Even Madam Lu can take care of three children by herself, while I only have one. How can I not survive?"

Tie Zhu wants to say that you are different.

But he swallowed the words back and raised his hand to swear an oath to the heavens.

"Flower, I swear to heaven, to my mother, and to all the ancestors of the Wang family, I have never intended to divorce you. You are the only one in my life. I will never divorce you, nor will I agree to a separation. If I break this vow, may I die a horrible death..."

He had only agreed because he was thinking of Kuan Niang's feelings.

He's not stupid.

He knew that if he couldn't make up his mind soon, the flowers would probably leave him.

Tie Zhu was neither wealthy nor dashing.

How can one afford to marry another woman after marrying one?

Moreover, she probably won't find another person as devoted and kind-hearted as Hua'er.

Hua'er is still angry with her mother.

You'll feel better once you calm down...

Wu Hua'er was stunned for a moment.

Who would swear an oath by their own mother and ancestors, and then break it?

His ancestors would probably jump up and beat him up.

That's it!

It was only when he was pushed to the limit that he said those things.

If they really get divorced, she really doesn't know where to go.

Lu Qingyao is skilled in business and accounting, and also in martial arts, capable of hunting wild boars and beating up those with ill intentions.

But she is Wu Hua'er.

You can't do anything!

She still has this bit of self-awareness.

She also secretly asked Lu Qingyao.

As people say, there are countless ways to survive, and there's no need to go to that point unless absolutely necessary.

It benefits others but puts yourself in a difficult position.

My mother-in-law is paralyzed.

No matter how eloquent someone is, they're still just a plucked chicken.

The Wang family has finally come to her head!

As for her mother-in-law, the most painful thing is being cut with a dull knife.

Take it easy!

He got up and handed the chair to Tiezhu, helping him sit down.

"Alright! Husband, if that's how it is, then let's live a good life together. But from now on, you must listen to me. We should discuss everything. You'll take care of external affairs, and I'll take care of internal affairs. If you trust me, leave the household and Mother to me. You can go out and take care of everything..."

When Tie Zhu saw that his wife had agreed, he was so happy that he pulled her into his arms.

She readily agreed, "Okay, okay, as long as you don't leave, I'll do whatever you say!"

"Bang~~~"

Suddenly, curses and the sound of things being smashed came from inside the house.

"Unfilial son! He forgot his mother after getting a wife... Rebellious son... Ungrateful wretch... Every single one of them is an ungrateful wretch."

Just as Tie Zhu was about to go in, Wu Hua'er stopped him.

"Husband, leave Mother here to me! Didn't you want to find a job?"

Tie Zhu nodded.

Wu Hua'er continued, "I've heard that Sister Lu is buying bamboo shoots. The big ones are fifteen coins a pound, and the small ones are ten coins a pound. You can go and dig some. You can dig forty or fifty pounds a day and earn several hundred coins!"

"Really?" Tie Zhu asked, half believing it.

He's been busy taking care of his mother these past few days and hasn't paid much attention to things outside.

"Would she accept my bamboo shoots?"

"Do you think everyone is as petty as you? Under those circumstances, sending Heiwa back was already incredibly generous. If it were me, I would have strangled him..."

Seeing the change in her husband's expression, Wu Hua'er realized she had gone off-topic and continued, "I went to ask myself. Sister-in-law Lu said that when you're in business, there's no reason to turn away customers... What are you dawdling for? It's still early, go quickly!"

After Tie Zhu left, Wu Hua'er went to her mother-in-law's room...
