The two immediately stopped laughing and became nervous.
Zhang Dagui walked up to them quickly and said, "Let's go to the village chief to get a certificate."
Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Ermei looked at each other.
Zhang Dagui urged, "Hurry up, don't even think about going back on your word."
People in the village said that he was unlucky because he married a hen that couldn't lay eggs. Others who married in the same year as him had two sons, but he ended up with nothing.
Not only did they laugh at him behind his back, they also laughed at him in front of him.
If he keeps Chen Ermei around, he will be extinct and there will be no one to care for him until the end of his life.
His parents have been lamenting over this matter and plan to let his younger brother's son take care of him until his death.
His two younger brothers had their tails raised in front of him, and they looked down on him as the eldest brother less and less, and his parents were becoming more and more partial to his younger brother because of this.
He wants to divorce Chen Ermei and quickly marry a new wife who will give birth to several sons. Let’s see if the people in the village dare to look down on him.
He was so happy that he left just now. He wanted to go home and discuss finding a new wife. Halfway through, he thought about what to do if Chen Ermei went back on her word?
Even if she doesn't regret it, her parents will definitely not agree and will definitely rely on him.
So he hurried back and asked Chen Ermei to go to the village chief to issue a certificate. In this case, she would not be able to regret it even if she wanted to.
Chen Zhaozhao and Chen Ermei did not expect that this was the purpose of Zhang Dagui's sudden return.
They secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they were still afraid that Zhang Dagui would regret it.
Chen Zhaozhao was still thinking about asking him to go to Zhao Youchang to get proof later.
In rural areas these days, most people don't get a marriage certificate when they get married. They just go through a matchmaker and serve wine. Everyone knows that they are married.
Naturally, Zhang Dagui and Chen Ermei did not have a marriage certificate. To get a divorce, they only needed to go to the village chief to get a certificate and then spread the word so that everyone knew about it.
No one had ever been divorced in the history of Lishan Village. When Zhang Dagui, Chen Ermei, and Chen Zhaozhao went to Zhao Youchang's house to explain their intentions, Zhao Youchang was shocked.
"What? Divorce?" Zhao Youchang asked in shock.
"Uncle village chief." Zhang Dagui said firmly, "Er Mei wants to divorce me. Can I refuse to agree?"
"Is that so, Ermei?" Zhao Youchang looked at Chen Ermei suspiciously, "You want to divorce Dagui? Have you thought about it? Do your parents know?"
"She wants a divorce. She said she can't live in my house and she doesn't want to do housework. Uncle, tell me, she married into my family and couldn't have children but she still doesn't want to do housework. Where can there be such a woman in the world?" Zhang Dagui said impatiently.
.
"She wants to divorce me now. If she says it, then the marriage must be divorced."
He was really afraid that Chen Ermei would go back on her word after being persuaded by Zhao Youchang. If she went back on her word, wouldn't he have to cry to death?
"Zhang Dagui, don't worry, I will definitely divorce you and I will never regret it, but don't slander me here. Isn't the housework I do at your house enough?" Chen Ermei asked angrily. She is a gentle person, even if
His voice is also soft when he speaks when he is angry.
"Okay, okay, don't talk so much anyway. If you want a divorce, let's get divorced as soon as possible."
Chen Ermei looked at Zhao Youchang and said firmly: "Uncle, please give us a certificate."
Zhao Youchang hesitated, "What do your parents mean by this?"
"We are already so big, we can make our own decisions on this matter," Zhang Dagui said.
Zhao Youchang looked at him and then looked at Chen Ermei.
It looks like the parents of both families don't know yet.
He knew that Zhang Dagui and the others would definitely be eager to get divorced. After all, Chen Ermei had not given birth to a child for the old Zhang family in three years, and they all said that she could not give birth.
Because of this, he didn't want Chen Ermei to be abandoned like this, which would be bad for Chen Ermei, so he subconsciously looked at Chen Zhaozhao.
In fact, if Chen Zhaozhao wasn't here, he wouldn't be so hesitant.
"Uncle, please provide proof that my second sister is not doing well in their home." Chen Zhaozhao said.
Zhang Dagui glanced at Chen Zhaozhao and said, "Er Mei, we are divorced. If you regret it in the future, don't hate me and don't blame me. If you do, blame me, your good sister."
Chen Zhaozhao gave him a "hehe" and looked at Chen Ermei, then looked at Zhao Youchang, "Uncle, please prove it."
Since both of them were so determined, Zhao Youchang had no choice but to issue certificates based on their promises.
Before he started writing, Chen Zhaozhao said: "This proof must be written clearly. After the divorce, the two parties will no longer have a relationship. They are not allowed to harass the other party with the previous relationship. There cannot be any disputes about the cost of the wedding, such as the betrothal gift. Now it must be written clearly."
You don’t want us to return the bride price, right?
Your family originally negotiated the marriage with my grandma, and the bride price was given to her. Our family doesn’t have a penny or anything, so if you want to return it, go to her."
"If you give me a small gift, you can't get it back. After all, Ermei and I have been husband and wife for more than three years." Zhang Dagui said.
The bride price had to be returned. The marriage was done but not unfinished. He didn't want to be laughed at.
"You don't want to retreat, right?" Chen Zhaozhao confirmed again.
"No need." Zhang Dagui said firmly.
"Okay, just write the proof like this." Chen Zhaozhao agreed.
Zhao Youchang wrote three certificates as required. Zhang Dagui and Chen Ermei pressed their fingerprints, each of them had one copy, and the village kept a copy.
After receiving the certificate, Zhang Dagui was overjoyed and couldn't wait to leave.
Zhao Youchang looked at his back, sighed and shook his head.
Chen Ermei and Chen Zhaozhao also said goodbye to Zhao Youchang and left.
Zhao Youchang looked at them complicatedly, "Er Mei, don't regret it in the future. If you regret it, don't blame me."
"Don't worry, uncle, I won't regret it. Besides, why should I blame you? It's not too late to thank you."
"Okay." Zhao Youchang nodded.
Chen Ermei and Chen Zhaozhao left Zhao Youchang's home.
Liu Jiamei, who had been watching secretly, hurriedly came out, "My dear~ What are they making a fuss about? The people of the Chen family are really capable of doing anything, it's so lively~"
Zhao Youchang glanced at his wife, frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense when you go outside. Remember that Comrade Yu is not simple. Don't offend Zhaozhao and the others."
"Hi~" Liu Jiamei rolled her eyes, "Am I so talkative and unable to speak clearly? I know how to say it."
"Anyway, don't offend them." Zhao Youchang knew that although his wife was rude, he also understood the seriousness and didn't say anything more.
Chen Ermei helped Chen Zhaozhao walk home, feeling relaxed and happy in her heart.
Chen Zhaozhao could feel the happiness of his second sister. He was happy but also felt a little distressed at the same time. How much pain did his second sister have to suffer before he could be happy because of the divorce.
You must know that in this era, divorce is the cruelest blow to women. Some women would rather die than get a divorce if their husband's family does not have a good life. Chen Ermei knows very well what she will face.
Gossip, a lonely life.
Although the environment in later generations is different and society is more tolerant of divorced women, the rumors are not very friendly.
She wouldn't be able to live alone in the future if she wanted to, but she didn't know that now.
Chen Zhaozhao admired Chen Ermei's courage, but he also understood how difficult her life was in Lao Zhang's house.
"Second sister, you will definitely be very happy in the future." Chen Zhaozhao said. With her here, she will definitely make every family member live a happy life.
"Yeah." Chen Ermei nodded with a smile.
Chen Zhaozhao looked at her relaxed smile and was a little moved. It had been too long since she had seen the second sister with a relaxed smile. The smile of the second sister was blurred in her memory.
It's really great to see it again now.
In fact, Chen Zhaozhao didn't expect her second sister's marriage to be divorced so easily. Originally, she was worried that she would encounter obstacles and have to fight hard.
This may be thanks to Zhang Dagui's eagerness to act quickly without letting his parents know, making things go smoothly.
Otherwise, given Zhang Dagui's mother's personality, she would definitely have to argue about the bride price for a long time.
Chen Ermei smiled and suddenly became worried again, "I wonder what my parents will think if they find out? It was done in such a hurry without consulting them~"
