There were just a few words written on the papyrus divorce note.
"Today Zheng Guixiu and Li Cuixiang."
With time to sign, a simple letter of divorce is completed.
In duplicate.
The next step was to make fingerprints. Since there was no ink pad, Li Cuixiang bit her finger without hesitation, dipped it in blood, and put her fingerprints on the two divorce papers.
That’s a blast!
Zheng Gui's eyes were scarlet and he was gnashing his teeth!
Are you so impatient?!
He couldn't help but explain to himself, Li Cuixiang was extremely dull and could not give birth to a son. How could she compare to Widow Yun, who was knowledgeable, knowledgeable and charming?
Divorce her, and then you can get along with Widow Yun openly!
Zheng Gui felt cruel in his heart when he thought about it, so he bit his finger and pressed his fingerprints.
Li Cuixiang held her daughter with one hand and freed up her other hand to read the divorce letter again and again!
Although she was illiterate, the scrawled charcoal writing on this piece of paper and the two bloody fingerprints represented her freedom! She naturally regarded it as a treasure.
Zheng Gui stuffed the divorce note into his arms and spat on the ground: "Bad luck!"
He turned around and walked away.
Seeing that what had happened, Village Chief Liu of Bishui Tun suppressed his anger and said, "Let's go, let's go back too!"
He wanted to go back and summon the villagers from Bishui Village to discuss whether he should continue to go on the road with the people from Liujin Village.
Almost all the people in Bishui Village left. Only Li Cuixiang, holding her skinny little girl in her arms, hesitated again and again, still begging, and spoke to Village Chief Lu of Liujin Village: "...Mr. Lu, can I follow you?"
Will your village go on the road together?"
She is now free, but Bishui Village cannot accommodate her.
Looking at the current situation, the two villages have to embark on their own escape routes. Looking at the village style and appearance, she would rather follow Liujin Village, a place she is unfamiliar with, than follow Bishui Village and be criticized by everyone!
But having one more person on the road means more responsibilities. Especially Li Cuixiang's situation is even more troublesome. Village Chief Lu naturally doesn't want to: "You are alone with a baby waiting to be fed, so why don't you go back to your village?"
Right. Even if you lose your husband's family, you still have relatives to help you, so your life won't be too difficult."
Li Cuixiang lowered her eyes and smiled bitterly, hugging the child in her arms tightly: "...Village Chief, you have also seen the situation in my house just now. I guess even if I starve to death in front of my house with my child, they will not give me a bite to eat.
of."
"We are all close relatives. How can we be so cruel just by talking about it?" Village Chief Lu wanted to persuade her again, but Li Cuixiang was very firm. Village Chief Lu took one last look at Li Cuixiang's forehead where blood oozed from kowtow.
, finally turned into a sigh and relaxed: "... Li, if you follow our village, our village won't be able to give you much. You have to think about it."
Li Cuixiang held the child in her arms and was about to kneel down to Village Chief Lu. Village Chief Lu pulled a young boy beside him to help: "Hurry and stop her. She is so young, don't smash her forehead!"
By chance, that young man is Sun Liwen.
Sun Liwen suppressed the excitement in his heart and stepped forward to grab Li Cuixiang's arm to prevent her from continuing to kneel and kowtow. He said loudly: "...Sister Li, just follow with peace of mind. The people in our village are all good people, as long as you
If you follow our village, you will never be beaten like that again!"
Sun Liwen actually wanted to tell Li Cuixiang that he had never forgotten her, and she could just rest assured that as long as he had something to eat along the way, he would never let Li Cuixiang go hungry!
But Sun Liwen was not a fool, so he would not speak at such a time and cause Li Cuixiang to suffer.
What if someone gossips and says that he and Li Cuixiang have been in secret for a long time, so Li Cuixiang dared to take her daughter away without asking for anything? What should we do?
He admired Li Cuixiang's courage to stand firm and never break up, and he would never let this courage be tainted by any dirty water.
Li Cuixiang raised her head and glanced at Sun Liwen, not daring to look any further. She took a step back and mumbled a quiet "Hello".
She knew that she couldn't help Sun Liwen, and she was even more of a drag on him today.
The only thing she can do is to draw a clear line between herself and others, so as not to let others ruin her reputation because of her.
…
The matter was settled like this, and Li Cuixiang followed the people of Liujin Village to escape the famine.
Because the village chief of Xia Lu also had to discuss with the villagers, he would not be able to go on the road for a while, so he simply let the villagers rest on the spot.
Li Cuixiang thanked her profusely, trotted all the way, carried her child back to Bishui Village, and prepared to pack some clothes.
Several men in the village put their arms around Sun Liwen's shoulders, wondering what they were saying to him.
Seeing that the show was over, Qiao Huaping also returned to their resting place.
Mei Qingyao and her three younger brothers and sisters were squatting nearby digging wild vegetables.
The four cubs stuck out their buttocks, pulled and dug, and dug a big pile, filling the baskets full.
Qiao Huaping praised her vigorously: "That's great. Mom will make wild vegetable dumplings for you tonight!"
The four cubs dug more vigorously.
…
The final result of the discussion between the two villages was that since the two sides had constant friction and started to fight in groups, it was obvious that this conflict could not be easily resolved. It would be better for each to go his own way, so as not to argue every day and make people's hearts wander.
Neither party had any objections.
However, at noon, it was the people from Bishui Village who went to explore the way.
The people in Bishuitun were unwilling to tell the people in Liujin Village about the situation ahead.
Village Chief Liu pouted: "Since we all have to go our separate ways, wouldn't it be inappropriate to share this information?"
Village Chief Lu really didn’t expect this man named Liu to be so stingy!
He was so angry that he couldn't speak!
"Okay, it really works!"
Village Chief Lu gritted his teeth.
Village Chief Liu was very proud and led the people from Bishui Village to leave first.
Zheng Gui had a gloomy face and looked at Li Cuixiang, who was holding her child and standing on the village side of Liujin Village: "Don't regret it!"
Li Cuixiang ignored Zheng Gui.
Just now she carried her child back to Bishui Village to pack her things, but she found that her several patched clothes were taken out of the luggage by the Zheng family and thrown to the ground indiscriminately, with many shoe marks on them.
Zheng Gui's mother squinted at Li Cuixiang: "Don't say that our old Zheng family treated you harshly. When you first married in, you only brought a few rags with you. Now that my son has divorced you, you can only bring these with you."
The money-losing guy who has a few rags with you, get out of here!"
Zheng Gui folded his arms and looked at her with a sneer, as if waiting for Li Cuixiang to beg for mercy.
Li Cuixiang gritted her teeth and without saying a word, she collected the clothes on the ground haphazardly. She carried the tattered bundle in one hand and her skinny daughter in the other, and went directly to Liujin Village without looking back.
