The sky turned dark. Xue Huahua coaxed Xixi to sleep before going to Lu Mingwen's room. After hearing Xue Huahua's words, Lu Mingwen flew into a rage. "Sun Baoqin is a good girl. I've done so much work for her family, and she wants a divorce? No way. " The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Lu Mingwen clenched his fists. When he thought of Sun Baoqin taking away all the clothes, his expression changed. "Mom, mom, Bao Qin took away all the clothes. Do you think she has been planning to divorce for a long time?"
Xue Huahua scolded him to be honest and not hurt his leg again. "The two of you haven't gotten a certificate yet. If you go to the commune, the commune's cadres will at most reprimand Sun Baoqin a little.
Even those who had a marriage certificate could run away, let alone those who did not have one.
"I won't do it either. We've arranged a banquet. She's my wife." Lu Mingwen held his legs and sat up slowly. He gritted his teeth. "Mom, Sun Guixian must know about Bao Qin's divorce. I was wondering why she ran away so quickly when she was giving birth. It turns out that she has a guilty conscience."
Xue Huahua was not a fool. She could figure it out after thinking for a while.
"It doesn't matter if someone egged her on. Bao Qin's heart is not with you. It's useless for you to pester her. Listen to mom and divorce her." Lu Mingwen was not even 20 years old. He would still be studying in the 2000s. It was good for him to get divorced. He could live a down-to-earth life for a few years and then find someone he could talk to and get married to. The more mature he was, the more responsible he would be, and the stronger his marriage would be.
Xue Huahua's voice was very soft and gentle. "Second Brother, you've seen the situation in our family. Bao Qin is different from your sister-in-law. She can't take hardships. I'm getting old day by day. When I can't work anymore, what will you do?"
She really hoped that Lu Mingwen would find someone to share his hardships with for the rest of his life, not Sun Baoqin, who had turned around and left.
In the darkness, silence spread. Neither of them made a sound. Lu Mingwen thought differently. He thought of Xue Huahua's situation when she was old. He knew Sun Baoqin well. If she really came back, she would definitely throw a tantrum all day and make the house restless. It was fine when Xue Huahua could move, but when the day came that she couldn't move, Sun Baoqin would definitely throw a tantrum. She might not even be given food.
In the past, he probably wouldn't have minded, but after these two incidents, Lu Mingwen hesitated. "Mom, if I get a divorce, I don't think anyone will be willing to follow me anymore."
His family was poor, and he was divorced. Who would want to marry him?
"Second Brother, as long as you work hard, your conditions will gradually improve. Do you still remember when your father died? How poor was your family then? All the wild vegetables in the mountains were eaten, and we could only eat tree bark. We managed to survive such tough days, so what's the big deal? " After two months of getting along with him, she knew that Lu Mingwen was soft-hearted and didn't know how to reject people. If she tried to reason with him softly, he would definitely listen.
As expected, Lu Mingwen quickly expressed his stance. "Mom, if it's a divorce, then so be it. At most, I'll just be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
Xue Huahua patted his shoulder and consoled him solemnly. "It won't happen, Mingwen. Look at Ma Shuigen. At his age, there were already people fighting to marry him. You're younger than him. Work hard and endure these few years." In the future, the country would become better and the people's lives would become better.
Lu Mingwen wasn't as optimistic as her. He was only asked to choose between Sun Baoqin and Xue Huahua. In the past, he would choose Sun Baoqin, but not anymore. Only in the most difficult times would one be able to tell who was sincere and who was pretending. He thought of the day of the fight again. Xue Huahua kept pushing him out. She didn't say anything, but he knew that she wanted him to run away. He had never helped Xue Huahua with any work or shared the burden of the family. But when danger came, she still instinctively chose to protect him.
Thinking of the suffering Xue Huahua had suffered because of him, Lu Mingwen felt a little sour in his nose. He said in a hoarse voice, "Mom, you've been tired for the whole day. Go back to your room and sleep."
Xue Huahua could tell that there was something wrong with his voice. She felt a little upset. "I'm going to sleep. I'll talk to Bao Qin's aunt about the divorce tomorrow."
She didn't know if Lu Mingwen would blame her in the future. She didn't want to force him. A marriage where one party compromised would only bring more pain. Lu Mingwen was only in his teens. There should be many possibilities in his life.
Lu Dewen was drying diapers. When he heard footsteps, he turned around. "Mom, I bumped into Aunt Gui Xian when I came back. I called out to her, but she ignored me. It's obvious that her family has let her down." He had heard everything. Sun Baoqin was too much. Last year, in order to marry her, Xue Huahua gritted her teeth and took out all the food they had at home. She even gave a betrothal gift and held a banquet. But now, she was so heartless.
"So be it. With Sun Baoqin's character, if she doesn't leave, Mingwen will suffer. Oh right, you're not allowed to talk about this outside. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson." Xue Huahua threatened. Lu Dewen hurriedly promised, "No, no. Mom, whatever you say, I'll definitely not talk about it."
He worked hard so that he could eat more. What if Xue Huahua got angry and refused to give him food?
After doing her best to convince Lu Mingwen, Xue Huahua was not in a hurry to tell Sun Guixian. The villagers were simple and honest. There was no custom of asking for the betrothal gift after a divorce. However, people would not divorce after half a year of marriage. So, she wanted the Sun Family to return the food. Otherwise, there would be no divorce.
In the end, after only half a day, Sun Guixian could not hold it in anymore. She probably saw Li Xuemei carrying the basket to the field at the side. She hurriedly threw down the hoe and ran over to help her pull the pigweed. "Huahua, how is it?"
Xue Huahua purposely whetted her appetite and did not say a word.
Sun Guixian was anxious. "Have you talked to Mingwen? If you can't, I'll talk to Mingwen. It's okay for him to be angry with me. I've thought it through. Now that things have come to this, it doesn't matter if he hates me."
The corner of Xue Huahua's mouth raised into a sneer. "If you want to talk to Mingwen, go ahead. The doctor said that he can't step on the ground. Pay attention and don't let him get off the bed."
Sun Guixian was stunned. She did not dare to talk to Lu Mingwen anymore. What if Lu Mingwen was agitated and climbed off the bed to blame her for injuring his leg? She could not afford to support Lu Mingwen. However, she was not willing to be led by the nose by Xue Huahua. She thought for a while and said, "Actually, Bao Qin did not get married to him. The reason why she asked Mingwen to make a statement was because she did not want the two families to become enemies in the future."
Some words were understood in their hearts, but it was another thing to say it out loud. Hearing her hypocritical consideration for her family, Xue Huahua was annoyed. She threw away the pigweed in her hand and pointed at Sun Guixian with a sickle. "Sun Guixian, what do you mean by this? Mingwen and Bao Qin had a banquet, and the captain and the others could be witnesses. What? Your Sun Family wants to deny it … Fine, return our betrothal gifts and the food that Sun Baoqin has been living at home for three months."
Xue Huahua's voice was very loud. The people working in the fields all raised their heads and looked over.
Sun Guixian was so anxious that she pulled her pants. "Lower your voice. Is this kind of thing very honorable?"
"If it's not honorable, what's there to be afraid of? It's not Mingwen who's embarrassed. Sun Baoqin dares to do it, but she doesn't dare to admit it? If she has the guts, let her come and find me herself. Sun Guixian, I'll put it this way. If she doesn't return the food, there's no need to talk about anything. Let's see who's dragging the matter. " After saying that, Xue Huahua carried the basket and left. She was too lazy to look at Sun Guixian. Did she really think that she was in the right just because she didn't get a certificate? Sun Guixian thought that she was easy to bully. She wanted to make a scene for everyone to see. She would never believe that there was nothing fishy about Sun Baoqin's divorce. She must have found a good husband and was in a hurry to dump Lu Mingwen and get married. She did something wrong and yet she still dared to speak so righteously. Xue Huahua hated this kind of person the most. She swung the rope and the basket was firmly attached to her back. Her other hand passed through the rope and she left angrily.
The villagers saw that Xue Huahua's expression was not right and asked, "Comrade Xue Huahua, why did you quarrel with Comrade Sun Guixian?"
Xue Huahua raised her head and said loudly, "Ask Sun Guixian, she knows."
So, the villagers turned their eyes to Sun Guixian. Sun Guixian's face turned red and white. She refused to say more. Seeing that Xue Huahua was walking in the direction of the storage room, she had a bad feeling in her heart and shouted, "Huahua, what are you doing in the storage room?"
"I'm asking for leave to go to Sun Village." Xue Huahua turned her back to Sun Guixian and answered seriously.
Xue Huahua's voice was loud and the villagers heard it. They looked at Sun Guixian and roughly guessed what was going on. Sun Baoqin returned to Sun Village after Lu Mingwen and the others were injured. She came back yesterday and left again after a while. Sun Guixian was Sun Baoqin's aunt. The two should have quarreled because of her. It was obvious that Sun Baoqin did something wrong. Her mother-in-law and husband were injured, but she didn't take good care of them. Instead, she went back to her mother's house to be lazy. It was also because Xue Huahua had a good temper. If it was someone else, they would have gone to Sun Village to make a scene.
Who said that a married woman had to stay at her mother's house for half a month?
How shameful! Sun Guixian was so angry. If she really let Xue Huahua go to Sun Village, things would become a big deal.
"Huahua, Huahua, wait for me, let me tell you …" Sun Guixian chased after her angrily. Fortunately, she caught up with her before she reached the storage room. Xue Huahua was holding a sickle in her hand. She didn't dare to get too close. She smiled and persuaded, "Huahua, if there is anything, we can talk about it. It's useless for you to make a scene in Sun Village. How about this, I will go back and ask my brother, and I will give you a reply tomorrow?"
Dozens of jin of food, who wouldn't be distressed? But looking at Xue Huahua's attitude, she wouldn't give up until she got the food back. Sun Guixian regretted it. Why did she foolishly agree to run errands? Xue Huahua was not the previous Xue Huahua. She was powerful.
Xue Huahua stopped, and her eyes widened. "Fifty jin of food and rations, not one tael less. If it's less, I will make a scene. At most, I will make a scene in the commune and let the cadres judge."
Sun Guixian nodded with her scalp tingling. She thought of something and changed her words. "I will go back and ask later. I will give you an answer in the afternoon."
Because of Xue Huahua's fearless character, it was better to solve this matter as soon as possible. She immediately asked for leave and went back to Sun Village.
Xue Huahua waved the sickle and said with a sullen face. "Okay, I will wait. If they agree, you will bring the food back in the afternoon. I know how much food there is. Don't try to lie to me."
Sun Guixian took a deep breath and squeezed the word "okay" out of her teeth.
She finally saw the ability of Xue Huahua. No matter who it was, she would blackmail as much as she could. She was so poor that she was crazy!
Xue Huahua didn't know what Sun Guixian said to the Sun Family. When the sun went down, Sun Guixian came back with the food on her back. Her footsteps were heavy, which attracted a lot of onlookers. Xue Huahua accepted the food with peace of mind. She also asked Lu Dewen to go to the storage room to weigh the food and make it clear in front of Sun Baoqin. "In the future, Sun Baoqin and Mingwen have nothing to do with each other. She can marry whoever she wants to marry, and we will part on good terms."
For many years, no one in Renan Village had ever divorced. When they suddenly heard that someone got divorced, the villagers were like seeing a new continent. They talked about it in full swing. Even the three-year-old children in the village knew that Lu Mingwen and his wife divorced.
This matter even made Lu Hongying, who hadn't returned home for many days, come out!
Xue Huahua told her about Lu Mingwen's divorce. Lu Hongying muttered, "They shouldn't have gotten married. How can second brother subdue a woman like Sun Baoqin?"
