Chapter 40 The Insecure Village Girl is a Lucky Charm 15
Xu Shuwan hid behind Song Qinian and tugged at his sleeve, whispering, "Song Qinian, don't worry about this, let's go."
As she spoke, she tried to leave behind him, wanting to leave with Grandma Xu.
Song Qinian pulled her back. Since they were in public, he couldn't say much, so he just reassured her, "It's okay, trust me."
He then said to Grandma Xu, "I'll give you five hundred. From now on, you will completely sever ties with Comrade Xu. Whether she is good or bad, you are not allowed to interfere anymore."
When Grandma Xu heard that there was such a good thing, she wanted to raise the price.
Song Qinian said casually, "If the police find out about human trafficking, you won't get out without spending several years in jail."
"Who said I sold my granddaughter? Alright, alright, five hundred it is."
Grandma Xu felt guilty, but then she thought of something and said firmly, "Words are no proof. What if I break off the engagement and you go back on your word?"
"Okay, I'll give you two hundred first, and I'll give you the rest after everything is done."
After saying that, Song Qinian took out a wad of ten-yuan bills from his pocket, counted out twenty bills, and said, "Here you go, now you can annul the engagement, right?"
Wang Mazi happened to arrive, learned about the situation, and saw that his bride was about to run away. He said unwillingly, "No, I don't agree. I've already paid part of the bride price."
Grandma Xu was afraid that Song Qinian would change his mind, so she quickly took out three hundred yuan and put it in Wang Mazi's hand: "The money is here, so let's just let this matter go."
Wang Mazi said gloomily, "I won't agree to give you back your money."
Grandma Xu brought up Song Qinian's words: "That's how it is anyway. If you don't agree, we'll go to the police and let them see how your previous wives came to be and how they died."
Wang Mazi, now that his lifeline was in his grasp, no longer objected, but he simply couldn't swallow his anger and decided to leave to avoid further trouble.
Seeing that the problem was solved, Grandma Xu urged Song Qinian, "Let's cut it now."
Song Qinian watched the farce without saying a word. When Grandma Xu urged him, he clearly stated his conditions, as if he had planned it all along: "We'll go write the letter of severance of kinship now, find someone to witness it, and have it signed and stamped. Once all of this is done, I'll give you the money."
Grandma Xu knew the procedure, and without giving any other instructions, she said urgently, "Let's go, I'll go and call the most senior person in the village over. You take her to the ancestral hall to wait." Then she left in a hurry.
Along the way, Xu Shuwan kept trying to wink at Song Qinian, but he pretended not to see it. Moreover, the villagers were also walking around wanting to continue watching the excitement, so she could only give up, lowered her head guiltily, and smiled where no one could see.
Because Grandma Xu was in a hurry, she ran all the way and called her two sons who were following her to go and call for help. They arrived at the same time as Xu Shuwan and the others.
The three people summoned were all respected elders in the village, with Grandpa Xu being the most senior. He once again confirmed with both sides whether they agreed to sever ties.
Grandma Xu naturally agreed and nodded eagerly. Seeing that Grandpa Xu didn't react for a while, she patted his back impatiently, urging him to agree quickly.
Although Grandpa Xu felt it was a bit embarrassing to separate Xu Shuwan, he had no choice but to agree since things had come to this point.
Xu Shuwan didn't nod hastily. She looked at Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu with a glimmer of hope in her eyes. After seeing their attitude, she lowered her head in disappointment, tears welling up in her eyes.
Song Qinian, who was standing next to her, felt extremely sorry for her, but he could only look at her with comfort and hold her hand tightly.
Xu Shuwan finally recovered, turned to meet his eyes, and under his encouraging gaze, firmly said, "I agree."
Both parties signed and affixed their fingerprints, and in the presence of villagers and elders, they officially severed their relationship. The Xu family separated Xu Shuwan from the family, giving her nothing—no money, no land, no clothes.
After receiving the remaining money from Song Qinian, Grandma Xu left with her family, beaming with joy. Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the others also dispersed.
After everyone had left, Xu Shuwan said to Song Qinian with a guilty conscience, "Song Qinian, I'm sorry. I made you spend so much money, and I don't know how to repay you."
"Let me think about it. How about you cook for me to pay off my debt? You can cook for me for the rest of your life and that will be enough to pay it off. What do you think?" Song Qinian said, half-jokingly.
“Okay, then I’ll cook for you for the rest of my life.” Xu Shuwan believed her and answered earnestly.
"How could I bear to let you cook for me every day? I was originally planning to let you leave the Xu family, but I was worried that the Xu family would not let you go. This solves the problem perfectly."
Song Qinian patted her head, and a cold smile appeared on his face as he recalled the impatient faces of the Xu family.
I never imagined they just treated Xu Shuwan as a tool to make money, giving her to whoever offered the highest price. It's truly despicable.
"They would never refuse!" Xu Shuwan said dejectedly, her voice tinged with sadness and grievance.
"Alright, stop thinking about it. They're not worth making you so sad. Think about what you want to eat when you get to the county," Song Qinian said casually.
"Go to the county!?" Xu Shuwan was immediately intrigued and asked.
“Yes, let’s go back to the educated youth settlement to get some things first, then go to the village secretary to get a letter of introduction, and then we’ll take you to live in the county. We’ll talk about the details as we go.”
