They seemed to have forgotten that if it weren't for the stench on her body, their entire family might not even be able to have a proper meal.
Jiujiu chuckled. "Big sister, think about it carefully. Isn't that the case?"
Her mother nodded. "In your opinion, what should I do?"
"If I were you, I would've divorced him thousands of times, even hundreds of times."
No matter how much she wanted to shed all pretense of cordiality with Li Xiucai, she had never considered divorcing him from the bottom of her heart.
Now that she heard the word divorce from Jiujiu, her mother had a new train of thought. Her breathing quickened and her heart raced. Tiny beads of sweat formed on her palms. After a long time, she finally found her voice. "But …"
"But what?" Jiujiu looked at her mother. "If you marry a man, you have to follow the man. If you marry a dog, you have to follow the man.
I knew you were going to say that, but you seem to have forgotten that the person saying that is a man.
The reason why they say this is just to numb us women. They want us to follow them wherever they go. Even if they indulge in debauchery outside, we women have to be loyal to them and think for them wholeheartedly. "
But, big sister, have you ever thought about why men can indulge in debauchery outside, but we women have to be faithful to them until we die? "
That being said, it wasn't wrong.
But.
Her mother had taught her since she was a child, so she had never thought of such a ridiculous thing.
Her mother looked at Jiujiu in shock. She had never thought that Jiujiu would say something so bold.
Jiujiu looked at her mother's hesitant expression and sighed. "Big sister, you say you're going to shed all pretense of cordiality with your husband, but you still want to continue living with him. When husband and wife quarrel, they usually quarrel at the head of the bed and reconcile at the end of it. Big sister, your heart may be hard and unmoved, but as time passes, it will inevitably soften.
Your husband isn't a good person to begin with. Even if he treats you a little better in the beginning because of his misgivings, as time passes, will you still have good days ahead of you? "
Her mother also understood this in her heart, but she still couldn't bear to part with him. Now that she heard Jiujiu's words, her heart began to waver again.
Wan Niang looked at Jiujiu. "What should I do if you do as little sister says?"
"If I were my elder sister, I would divorce him."
"But …"
Wan 'er had the courage to shed all pretense of cordiality with Li Xiucai because she knew that Li Xiucai's family relied on her to make a living. However, she didn't even dare to think about a divorce.
Jiujiu saw that her wifey, who had agreed without hesitation just a moment ago, was terrified at the mention of divorce. Although she wasn't too satisfied, she knew that this was the gender of women in this era. Thus, she said, "Elder Sister, don't worry. After you divorce Scholar Li, I'll help the general find eight to ten men for Elder Sister to look at. I guarantee that you'll find a suitable husband for Elder Sister. What does Elder Sister think?"
Jiujiu was actually a bit hesitant to find her own wife, but once Jiujiu pulled Ling Xiao out, her wife was instantly moved.
Ling Xiao would naturally help her find some good men. Moreover, as long as Ling Xiao was around, those people wouldn't dare to do anything to her. Her life wouldn't be any worse than it was at Li Xiucai's house.
However, she was still somewhat restricted by the saying, 'If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken. If you marry a dog, follow the dog.'
Although she was extremely moved, she still said hesitantly, "Younger Sister, let me think about it carefully."
Jiujiu pursed her lips. "Then I'll wait for your answer."
Jiujiu picked up her teacup and took a sip.
Wan 'er tactfully excused herself.
After her wife left, Qingyan immediately whispered in Jiujiu's ear, "Miss, you can't say that in front of the general today."
Jiujiu raised her brows. "Why not?"
Qingyan replied, "No man would be willing to hear his wife say something like that."
Even if there was a filter, Jiujiu's words were still a little too bold in her eyes.
Jiujiu chuckled. "Only a useless man would be afraid of everything. A truly capable man wouldn't be afraid of wolves in front of him and tigers behind him. If the general is really like Li Xiucai, I'll divorce him without another word."
Ling Xiao had just entered when he heard Jiujiu's words. His originally smiling face instantly darkened. "Divorce with who?"
Ling Xiao had always been gentle in front of Jiujiu. Even if he was angry, he would never deliberately show it because he was afraid that he would be too fierce and frighten Jiujiu. However, today, he heard Jiujiu say 'divorce'.
Just hearing it made Ling Xiao's chest feel stuffy, as if a thousand-pound giant was stepping on his body. He couldn't breathe, let alone think about it.
Ling Xiao's face darkened. His aura was like an unsheathed sword, carrying with it the aura of a thousand soldiers and horses. Even Jiujiu felt pressured, not to mention Qingyan and Qingliu, who had never seen such an aura before.
Qingyan was slightly better off, but Qingliu's legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground.
'Thump ~'
The sound of Qingliu falling to the ground woke Ling Xiao up. Only then did Ling Xiao regain his senses and withdraw his aura.
Ling Xiao withdrew his aura as soon as he said so. Poor Qingliu's legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground. Although Qingyan didn't collapse to the ground, she looked pale and sweaty. It was obvious that she hadn't relaxed much.
Jiujiu glared at Ling Xiao. "You scared my maid."
Seeing Jiujiu's smiling face, Ling Xiao's heart softened. Even if there were thousands of words in his heart that made him uncomfortable, they all disappeared in an instant.
Ling Xiao walked over to Jiujiu and sat down. "Are you still going to talk so casually in the future?"
"No, no, no. If I say anymore, you'll hit my mouth." Jiujiu casually grabbed a handful of melon seeds and stuffed it into Ling Xiao's hands. "Don't be angry. Eat some melon seeds to calm down, okay?"
Jiujiu's tone and the handful of melon seeds in her hand made Ling Xiao not know whether to laugh or cry. "When have you seen me eat melon seeds?"
Jiujiu was very self-righteous. "Now."
Ling Xiao smiled helplessly. "Okay, okay, okay. You're right."
Jiujiu pouted, disapproving. "I wasn't wrong in the first place, okay?"
Ling Xiao laughed. "Yes, yes, yes. You weren't wrong in the first place. Everything is my fault, okay?"
"That's more like it." After receiving Ling Xiao's affirmation, Jiujiu raised her little head like a stuffed rooster. She was indescribably proud.
Seeing Jiujiu's proud expression, Ling Xiao couldn't help but smile. What a child.
Qing Yan and Qing Liu, who were originally worried about Jiujiu and Ling Xiao, left quietly when they saw Ling Xiao talking to Jiujiu with a doting expression, leaving Jiujiu and Ling Xiao alone.
Ling Xiao chatted with Jiujiu for a while and had lunch with Jiujiu before returning home.
At the door, Ling Xiao bumped into Li Xiucai, who had just returned.
When he saw Ling Xiao, Li Xiucai immediately went up to him with a face full of smiles. "General."
Ling Xiao glanced at Li Xiucai. Seeing that he didn't know him, he nodded and left on his horse.
Li Xiucai stared at Ling Xiao's back in a daze.
