The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Wu Daniu raised his hand, but under Xu Dazhuang's cold and murderous gaze, he hesitated to strike. He could only threaten with a dark face, "She dares to hit my wife."

"Are you sure you want to get involved in women's affairs?"

Wu Daniu wanted to make a move, but the man in front of him, although he looked disabled, had an aura that could not be ignored. He couldn't afford to gamble. If he really couldn't beat him, wouldn't it be too embarrassing in front of so many people?

Xu Dazhuang added, "We didn't come to the Du family to cause trouble. We just want justice for my sister. Our Du family has tormented my sister for many years, and now they've beaten her to a pulp. I definitely need to get an explanation."

At this moment, the village chief stepped forward to smooth things over, gently pulling Wu Daniu away, saying, "Uncle Mingxian, let's talk things out. After all, we're in-laws."

“No, I won’t admit it. My sister won’t stay with him.” Xu Dazhuang interrupted.

The village chief guessed from the man's nonchalant attitude that he must want Zhou Shi and You Tian to divorce. Otherwise... he wouldn't be so unscrupulous. If he was just trying to scare them, he would have considered that Zhou Shi and You Tian would still have to live together after they left, and that Zhou Shi would still have to live in the Du family. He wouldn't have been so disrespectful.

Even so, let's sit down and talk it over.

Xu Dazhuang couldn't refuse the village chief's request, so he said, "Alright, since that's the case, I'll definitely give the village chief face. Everyone's here, let's settle the accounts properly."

No one mentioned that Du Mingwei had been beaten, and no one cared about her. Even Wu Daniu stood aside and stared at Xu Dazhuang.

Xu Yulan stepped forward and held her daughter's hand tightly. Looking at her daughter's face, she felt a pang of heartache and could only whisper, "Her uncle used to be a soldier and killed a lot of people."

These words were only meant to help her daughter let go of her resentment towards Xu Dazhuang. "But don't worry, even if they take Zhou Shi away, Du Mingxian will always be a daughter of the Du family. Mother will find a way to avenge you."

"Mother." Du Mingwei looked at Xu Yulan pitifully, feeling extremely wronged. From childhood to adulthood, she had always been pampered wherever she went, and had never suffered such grievances.

Xu Yulan felt very distressed, but could only comfort her, "Don't worry, Mother will definitely find a way. I will get this debt back from Du Mingxian."

"Fine." Du Mingwei hated Du Mingxian to the core at this moment.

Xu Dazhuang's attitude was tough. Seeing that there was no way to reach an agreement, the village chief could only turn to Zhou Shi and say, "You Tian's wife, what do you think? After all, you are the one living in the Du family. Even if a woman gets a divorce, her life won't be easy."

Zhou looked up blankly, not knowing how things had turned out this way.

Xu Tingting watched anxiously from the sidelines, but this time she didn't step in.

Seeing that Zhou Shi remained silent, Du Mingxian decided to step forward and help her mother make the decision, "Village Chief, my mother is willing..."

"Village Chief!" Zhou suddenly shouted, drowning out Du Mingxian's voice. She became agitated. "I'm willing! I'm willing to go with my brother! I don't want to stay in the Du family! I don't want to!"

Her daughter wanted her to leave, but only her daughter could say those words, not Mingxian's.

Mingxian is still the daughter of the Du family. If she says such things, how can she stand in the village and in her husband's family? She can't let her daughter take the blame for her.

Du Mingxian breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her clenched fist.

Xu Tingting rushed forward and hugged Zhou Shi tightly, "Auntie, don't worry, our lives will get better and better from now on, don't worry."

"Okay, okay." Zhou cried uncontrollably, and because she was too weak, she eventually fainted from crying.

Du Mingxian hurriedly checked the situation and, knowing that Zhou had just fainted, simply let Zhou lean against her without doing anything else.

Xu Dazhuang handled all the subsequent negotiations.

Xu Dazhuang insisted that she wanted to divorce her husband.

Divorce your husband?

There is no precedent for this in the village, nor in the surrounding villages. If the Xu family really does this, will the people of Kaoshan Village ever be able to hold their heads high again?

The village chief was extremely anxious. "Divorce is definitely not an option; at most, a separation is possible."

"Divorce is not an option; the harm they caused my sister is too severe."

Chief Du had a dark expression on his face. He was willing to say something, but Xu Dazhuang seemed unwilling to talk to him and preferred to talk to the village chief.

The village chief tried to persuade him for a long time, but Xu Dazhuang got annoyed and waved his hand, saying, "Fine, fine, if you don't want to divorce, you can get a divorce, but their family has to pay you money."

Seeing that this was Xu Dazhuang's final concession, the village chief turned to Old Man Du and went up to him to discuss it in a low voice. In the end, Old Man Du only agreed to a divorce and refused to pay compensation.

Seeing this, the village chief looked at Du Youtian and said, "Youtian, say something."

Du Youtian looked up at everyone, and finally said in a deep voice, "I am willing to divorce."

Xu Dazhuang sneered, "Oh, fine, I see your family isn't planning to pay compensation. Fine, my sister is more important. Since you're not going to pay compensation, then write a divorce agreement and a letter of severance. My niece doesn't want such heartless family members."

“No.” Du Youtian reacted quickly this time. “Divorce is fine, but severing ties is not. Mingxian is my daughter, and she will always be my daughter.”

Du Mingxian was very surprised. Du Youtian had always acted as if he didn't care whether she was his daughter or not. Had he taken the wrong medicine today?

Before Xu Dazhuang could speak, Xu Tingting started acting crazy again, "Fine, fine, you want to play the rogue with us? You're really showing off your limited skills before an expert. Let me show you what a real rogue is."

After saying that, she ran into the kitchen and quickly retrieved a torch.

The Du family didn't have any torches, so Xu Tingting made her own. She worked incredibly fast, and as she brought the torch out, she laughed somewhat arrogantly, "Let's get a divorce. We don't want the money anymore, and we can sever ties. Anyway, my cousin is already married. Although she's a daughter of your Du family, she's now part of her husband's family, so you don't have many restrictions on her."

"As compensation, let me set fire to your yard. That would make me feel better and happier than taking that money."

Xu Dazhuang was stunned, but he quickly replied, "Tingting is right. We don't even care about that little bit of money. Let's just leave it at that and get a divorce."

With things having escalated to this point, there was no point in continuing the stalemate, so the village chief hurriedly asked Du Mingcheng, who was standing to the side, to fetch paper, pens, and other things.

The Du family members felt uneasy.

Old Man Du's eyes blazed with fury as he spoke threateningly, "If you dare burn down our yard, you'll never leave Kaoshan Village alive today."
