Reborn at 60: I Helped My Sister Get Rich Starting from Hunting

The villagers who knew the situation all scoffed, "Divorce is a disheartening thing for other families, but for the Wang family... it's a windfall!"

Everyone started talking about Wang Jie and Zhang Yan's divorce, and how Zhang Yan was asked to pay 88 yuan in compensation.

The members were also shocked to learn this detail for the first time, and their glasses fell off.

"Captain, this is no small sum!" a commune member exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Haiquan's head was throbbing as if a thousand needles were pricking it.

He didn't want to discuss the amount of money anymore.

The Wang family dared to ask for 8800 yuan, and Zhang Yang managed to borrow it from someone and was willing to give it, so it was considered an agreement!

Let them get divorced as soon as possible!

Now that it's stamped, everyone can go home and catch up on their sleep!

At this hour, the chickens raised on the commune farm haven't even crowed yet!

Zhang Haiquan gets up earlier than the chickens now!

This debt is the root of all the trouble!

"You two should speak less and offer less commentary for a while!" Zhang Haiquan instructed the two member representatives. "Watch them sign and stamp the document, then we'll leave!"

The money was a private agreement between the two families, and the commune didn't give them a single penny; they weren't involved in it!

"Did you go to call Wang Jie?" Zhang Haiquan asked.

Qian Chunfen beamed, "I've gone to call him! Thank you for waiting, Captain, he'll be here soon!"

Everyone waited for quite a while.

Despite the freezing weather, it was Aunt Lu from next door who brought hot tea to warm Zhang Haiquan and the other commune members.

Wang Jie arrived late.

When he arrived, he was accompanied by a woman.

The woman looked to be around thirty years old, wearing an ill-fitting cotton-padded coat that made her appear clumsy.

However, her complexion was very rosy, and her face was slightly swollen, showing signs of pregnancy.

Zhang Yang had been staring at the doorway, so he noticed a detail:

Before entering the courtyard, the woman had been secretly holding Wang Jie's hand!

Who would have thought that someone would actually be interested in a loser like Wang Jie?!

The woman who had come along probably saw that there were many people in the courtyard, so she quickly let go of Wang Jie.

His expression betrayed a hint of guilt.

Wang Jie, on the other hand, is different.

He was beaming, even more radiant than when he got married!

As soon as he stepped inside, Wang Jie shouted, "Zhang Yang, you're pretty amazing! You've already scraped together the remaining seventy-eight yuan so quickly? Let me see, where's the money? Give it to me now, and I'll divorce your sister right away!"

"Cough!" Zhang Haiquan, who was behind the door, coughed heavily.

Wang Jie turned his head and noticed the captain. He quickly chuckled and said, "Oh, you're all here! That makes things even faster!"

He then pulled a cigarette from his jacket pocket and offered it to Zhang Haiquan solicitously: "Captain, I heard that divorce only requires a signature, right? Don't worry, Captain! I'll sign it as soon as I get the money!"

Zhang Haiquan, however, refused to listen to his orders and said coldly, "If you two want a divorce, then sign the papers first! After you sign, how you decide to divide the assets and handle compensation is your personal business! It has nothing to do with the commune!"

Wang Jie immediately objected, "Captain, what if they deny it after I sign it?"

The surrounding villagers all burst into laughter.

"Wang Jie, you've really never seen money before! They've already got these seventy-eight yuan in their hand, do you think they'd embezzle it from you in public?"

"With so many of us bearing witness for you, you still don't trust us? Then you'd better not take the money! Otherwise, you'll take it home and then complain that someone is afraid of stealing your money, which will keep you up at night, and you'll end up blaming the Zhang family!"

That was quite a statement, and everyone laughed even more unrestrainedly.

It's as if I can already see the true colors of the Wang family!

The villagers' opinions were overwhelming, and Wang Jie felt ashamed.

He couldn't cover up the mouths of so many people and couldn't make up his mind, so he could only look at his old mother who was still sitting on the ground.

Qian Chunfen's nose was so cold that snot was running from her nose!

But seeing her son's submissive demeanor, she could only wipe her face with her sleeve, adopting the air of the head of the household, and say, "It's alright! Just sign it first! So many people are watching, and the brigade leader is here too. Do you think the Zhang family will cheat us? This seventy-eight yuan must belong to the Wang family!"

Hearing his mother's words gave Wang Jie a bit more confidence.

He took the two prepared divorce certificates from the commune representative and then signed his name in a scrawled hand.

The commune members then gave Zhang Yan two divorce certificates.

Zhang Yan took the pen, her hand trembling slightly.

She had been waiting for this day for so long!

When that moment finally arrived, she still felt like she was dreaming and couldn't quite believe it.

Zhang Yang whispered encouragingly to her, "Sister, just sign it! You'll be free once you sign!"

free……

Zhang Yan was so nervous that all she could hear was her own heartbeat!

Even with trembling hands, she resolutely wrote her name on the divorce certificate.

The commune members held up a signed agreement and announced it to the crowd:

"With the mutual consent of Wang Jie and Zhang Yan, and with Zhang Haiquan, the captain of the Third Production Brigade, and representatives Xiao Li and Xiao Sun from the commune serving as witnesses, their marriage is hereby terminated!"

"The divorce agreement is made in duplicate, with each party holding one copy."

"The divorce proceedings are now complete. Take your belongings home and go your separate ways!"

Zhang Yan took the divorce papers and burst into tears of emotion!

At the same time, Wang Jie seemed to have gone mad. He rushed to Old Man Jiang, who was holding the money, snatched the seventy-eight yuan, and hugged it tightly to his chest!

Then, he excitedly ran over to show off to Qian Chunfen and her daughter.

"Mom! Look! Seventy-eight yuan! It's all ours now!"

He held that huge stack of bills, scratching them repeatedly with a loud thud, his eyes almost turning into the shape of the bills!

Qian Chunfen was also beaming with joy.

What a wonderful day!

She's going to pay respects to her ancestors when she gets back!

Thank goodness the Wang family's ancestral graves are emitting smoke, allowing this old woman to earn so much!

Qian Chunfen's mouth was split open so wide it almost reached behind his ears.

"My son, I've never seen so much money before. Let me touch it..."

Her eyes shone with a fascination, as if she were possessed, and saliva was almost dripping from the corners of her mouth.

Wang Zhaodi was also deeply moved.

But she was calmer than Qian Chunfen. She quickly pulled out two bills from the pile and held them in her hand.

At the same time, he asked, "Mother, how should we divide this money?"

point?

Just hearing that word made Qian Chunfen feel as if her heart had been stabbed!

She quickly snatched the money back from Wang Zhaodi's hand!

“We’re family, no need for formalities! Let’s put all the money together with Mom! When you need it, Mom will give it to you! Why separate it? It’s bad luck!”

Wang Zhaodi pouted upon hearing this.

“If I had left it with you before, you must have been thinking about finding a new wife for my brother!”

After saying that, he glanced behind him and glared at the woman who had come with Wang Jie.

Wang Zhaodi: "Look, he's even brought everyone here!"
