Early the next morning, Xia Jingchen received a call from the Zhang family, asking him to go to the village to write a letter of introduction for divorce, and then go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
This sudden news made Xia Jingchen unable to react.
Dalinzi pushed him: "If you are still hesitating about what to do, hurry up."
Xia Jingchen responded and quickly went to find the village cadres with Dalinzi.
The village cadre was almost sixty years old and was Dalinzi's cousin. Hearing that Xia Jingchen was getting a divorce, he adjusted his reading glasses: "What, you said you want a divorce?"
Nowadays, divorce is a very rare thing. At least in Xinghua Village and Jianguo, we have never heard of any family getting divorced in these years.
He asked: "What's the reason?"
Dalinzi saw this and forced a pen into his hand: "Uncle, just write about the breakdown of the couple's relationship. Don't ask about the rest. It's urgent!"
Although he didn't know why the Zhang family suddenly agreed, one thing he was sure of was that there would be no such store after this village. Of course, he had to seize the opportunity quickly.
My uncle had heard about the situation of Xia Jingchen and Zhang Yujiao to some extent.
According to the procedure, the village cadres should do some ideological work with Xia Jingchen and his wife, and finally issue a divorce introduction letter if it is really irreversible.
After Dalinzi urged him like this, his uncle didn't hesitate anymore and started writing.
As soon as the letter of introduction was opened, Dalinzi picked it up, blew it, and handed it to Xia Jingchen: "Brother Chen, go quickly. I wish you can escape the sea of fire as soon as possible!"
Xia Jingchen took it, nodded and said, "Thank you, I'll treat you to a drink when I come back."
With that said, he strode away quickly.
Xia Jingchen returned home to ride his bicycle and talked to Gong Lianxin who was feeding chickens in the yard.
Gong Lian was overjoyed.
She quickly lowered her voice: "Keep it down, be careful not to let mom hear you."
Wang Ping went to the hospital early yesterday morning and returned in the afternoon. She is still lying in bed.
The doctor said that the headache was not too serious, but more of a heart problem.
As a daughter-in-law, she could only shake her head and say nothing.
If Wang Ping heard this, I don't know if there would be a fuss.
Xia Jingchen nodded: "Okay, I understand. My sister-in-law is at home to take care of me."
Gong Lianxin waved her hand: "Go quickly."
The most important thing now is to divorce the marriage first. As for why the Zhang family suddenly agreed, it must have something to do with Xia Qingyuan.
Seeing Xia Jingchen go out, she thought about it, went to the village committee, and called Xia Qingyuan.

When Xia Jingchen went to the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhang Yujiao and the Zhang family were already waiting there.
Zhang Yujiao's eyes were red, and she raised her eyes to look at Xia Jingchen, full of resentment and resentment.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family raised his chin towards him: "Go in."
The staff member handling divorce procedures at the Civil Affairs Bureau looked at them and said, "Divorce because of a breakdown in relationship?"
Xia Jingchen nodded: "Yes."
The staff member looked at Zhang Yujiao who was silent: "Comrade, are you voluntarily divorced?"
Zhang Yujiao naturally did not do so voluntarily.
She was forced.
Yesterday, the eldest brother of the Zhang family answered Zhang's mother's call with a cold face and forced her to divorce.
She refused to agree, and the eldest brother of the Zhang family finally said harshly: "Mom said, your eldest son is not Xia Jingchen's son, right?
If the Xia family finds out about this, have you thought about the consequences?"
Hearing this, Zhang Yujiao's expression changed on the spot.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family continued: "Mom said, you will divorce Xia Jingchen tomorrow and get the boss back.
You have already seen my little sister’s fate, if you continue to waste it, aren’t you afraid of being like my little sister?”
Zhang Yujiao cried all night.
She was unwilling to get divorced like this.
However, she is even more afraid of spending the rest of her life in prison.
Thinking of this, she finally nodded.
…
Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhang Yujiao, waiting for her answer.
The eldest brother of the Zhang family also coughed slightly from behind and motioned for her to speak.
Zhang Yujiao clenched her palms and replied: "Yes."
She looked haggard and tear-stained, and the staff obviously didn't believe her.
She stood up and said to Zhang Yujiao: "Comrade, don't be afraid.
Just tell me, did you divorce voluntarily?
If you are under duress, we will definitely make the decision for you."
As he said that, the staff member also looked at Xia Jingchen meaningfully.
Xia Jingchen seemed not to hear, sitting upright without squinting.
Zhang Yujiao was at war with heaven and man in her heart at this moment.
This may be her last chance to regret it.
If she nods and walks out from here, she and Xia Jing will have nothing to do with each other anymore.
When the eldest brother of the Zhang family saw Zhang Yujiao acting like this, he knew that she was just taking a chance.
He sat behind her, stretched out his big hand and patted her shoulder. When he landed on it, he was very strong.
He stared closely at her side face: "Yujiao, brother is here, if you have any grievances, just say it."
Although her tone was gentle, Zhang Yujiao trembled.
He is warning her.
In fact, all the pros and cons have been placed in front of her, and she understands in her heart that the most correct choice is the way to make it.
She just wasn't willing to let it go like this.
Her mother's family all thought that she planned to marry Xia Jingchen in order to live a good life and get the two hundred yuan requested by the Ni family.
In fact, only she herself knows that she really likes him.
Her family was not wealthy when she was young, so she dropped out of school before graduating from elementary school.
Xia Jingchen studied until high school.
Her entire teenage career was accompanied by Xia Jingchen's name.
He was handsome, informal, and loyal. She thought, he was just like the young man in bright clothes and angry horse in the novel.
She also looked at him from a distance, and would even wait on the roadside when he passed by, just hoping that he would take a look at her.
Once she pretended to fall, he helped her up, and then quickly let her go.
Before she could say thank you, he rode away with the others again.
From that time on, he took root in her heart and gave rise to other thoughts.
When she mustered up the courage to confess to him, she saw him holding Tan Jingxian's hand on the path by the forest.
The tenderness in her eyes was something she had never seen before.
She and Tan Jingxian were in the same village, but they were inferior to her in everything.
Even the only person she likes will be snatched away by her.
She tried every means to become good friends with Tan Jingxian, asking around about Xia Jingchen's preferences, and even looked out for them when they were dating.
She wore the best clothes in the closet and secretly took her sister-in-law's hair oil and put it on her hair...
However, Xia Jingchen never looked at her directly.
It wasn't until their high school graduation party that she begged Tan Jingxian to take her there.
The location was in the woods at the foot of the mountain, with a bonfire and wine that someone secretly brought from home.
She learned from the conversation between Xia Jingchen and her friends that Xia Jingchen planned to confess his love that night and informed his parents about it, so that they would get married as soon as they graduated.
Jealousy made Zhang Yujiao go crazy. She put the medicine she brought in Tan Jingxian's cup and called a boy who had liked Tan Jingxian for a long time.
In the end, she deliberately led Xia Jingchen to find Tan Jingxian, so that he could see the woman he loved getting into a ball with someone else.
How did she know that Xia Jingchen was not as furious as she imagined, he just left silently.
She wanted to catch up, but was blocked by people from the same village.
Feeling depressed, I couldn't bear to persuade them to drink, so I had a few drinks with them.
After a few glasses of wine, I woke up in a mess.
And there is no trace of those people.
She stumbled out and found Xia Jingchen drunk by the river.
