Chapter 118 Hua Niang's divorce is successful
When Dahua and Xiaohua heard this, they immediately started crying.
"Mom, mom, we want to be with you, we don't want to be here, mom!"
The child cried heart-wrenchingly, and Hua Niang's tears, which had finally stopped, began to fall again.
Su Man had been cold throughout the whole process, but now she asked for the answer directly.
"Tell me, what conditions do you want? Or how much silver do you want?"
Old Mrs. Wang's heart moved, and there was even a hint of a smile on her face, but when she realized there were so many people here, she quickly suppressed the corners of her mouth.
"Since we sold it to Mr. He for thirty taels, then of course it's thirty taels. We have spent a lot of food to raise these two girls over the years."
When the other members of the Wang family heard this, they quickly agreed.
Wang Tuhe was startled and subconsciously glanced at the two children, only to find that the two children were crying and didn't even look at him.
He couldn't tell what the feeling was, but he could only blame the two children for being girls.
Hua Niang felt dizzy and almost fainted. Fortunately, Lian Di, who was beside her, helped her up and whispered something to her.
"Hua Niang, you must not fall down at this time, otherwise what will happen to the two children?"
When Hua Niang heard this, she immediately gritted her teeth and persisted, but the hatred in her eyes was growing stronger and stronger.
The surrounding villagers exclaimed, "Wow!" The Wang family was truly shameless.
The sarcasm on Su Man's face became more and more intense.
"Thirty taels? Old witch, you have a really big appetite. You want thirty taels for just these two children?"
"That's right! It's thirty taels! You don't have to buy it!" Old Mrs. Wang is very tough now.
She just saw that Hua Niang was reluctant to part with her two children.
Hua Niang really didn't know what to do at this time. She could only look at Su Man helplessly.
Su Man gave her a reassuring trust.
Hua Niang felt much calmer and she wanted to believe Su Meizi.
"Twenty taels. If you want to sell it, then sell it. If you don't want to sell it, forget it. And don't think I don't know that you took ten taels out of Mr. He's thirty taels of silver."
Old Mrs. Wang's eyebrows twitched and she felt a little panicked, but she calmed down the next second.
"I do not know what you're talking about!"
"Heh... you don't know, right? Okay." Su Man didn't continue to argue with her about this matter. Anyway, she knew that Mr. He was not someone who would let it go.
What's more, she left behind a sentence of "sowing discord" when she came back. According to Mr. He's character, he would definitely come back to teach her a lesson.
As for taking the two children away without spending any money, she was even more unwilling to do so. It would be better to spend money so that there would be no subsequent troubles. But for thirty taels, she was not going to be taken advantage of.
"Twenty taels. If you agree, I'll sell it. If you don't agree... haha... you don't think Lord Wei is just here to watch the show, do you? Or do you and your family want to live in the government office for a while?"
"No! Grandma! We don't want to go to the yamen! What will we do if we go to the yamen?" Wang Jin and Wang Yin said immediately.
"If other people knew that we had entered the government, who would dare to marry a girl to us in the future?"
When Old Lady Wang heard this, she immediately became anxious. What would she do in the future if no one really married her grandson?
"Okay, okay, don't worry, grandma will definitely not let you not be able to find a wife."
After she comforted her two grandsons, she immediately looked at Su Man, snorted coldly, and said,
"Okay, twenty taels is twenty taels, bring the silver quickly and take these three unlucky people away!"
"It's easy to get silver, but you must sign a contract of sale. Everyone present, as well as the village chief and Lord Wei, are witnesses. As long as this contract of sale is given to me, then Hua Niang and the two children will have nothing to do with the Wang family in the future."
The village chief knew that it was time for him to speak. If it were someone else, he would really want to persuade them not to divorce, but his wife said something to him on the way back just now.
"If anyone dares to sell my two daughters, I will fight him to the death. If anything happens to the two children, I will die. Father, if you don't let them divorce, you are helping to harm others."
It was precisely because of this sentence that he had not spoken a word just now.
"Wang Tuhe, do you agree with what your mother said?" The village chief still asked Wang Tuhe, after all, Wang Tuhe was also a party involved.
Wang Tuhe was still very conflicted and hesitant.
Old Lady Wang came up and pinched him on the spot.
"Why don't you agree quickly? What do you want a fickle woman like this to do? I'll find you a woman who's obedient and docile after a while!"
Wang Tuhe looked at his mother, and finally gritted his teeth and nodded.
"I agree. I will divorce her."
When Hua Niang heard this, she breathed a sigh of relief, and her tense body relaxed.
Finally, she survived.
The village chief shook his head in disappointment and did not try to persuade him any more. He asked someone to bring paper and pen and started writing the divorce and severance letters.
Just in case, Su Man asked Wei Yan to write it and also asked Wei Yan to stamp it with the government seal. By then, even if the Wang family wanted to go back on their word and do something to the two children or Hua Niang, they would have to think carefully before doing so.
"Okay, the divorce and severance agreements are ready. Hurry and bring the silver, otherwise we won't sign." Old Lady Wang said impatiently.
Now, in their eyes, the only important thing was the twenty taels of silver. As for Hua Niang and the two children, they didn't even look at them.
Su Man pointed out the silver and was about to give it to Old Lady Wang, but Hua Niang held her hand.
"Sister Su, I need to pack some clothes and the quilt I gave as a dowry. It's not valuable, but it belongs to me and my two children."
Hua Niang's eyes were determined. She didn't feel the slightest bit of emotion about the Wang family selling her and her two children like that. She probably just felt hopeless.
Although she now owed Sister Su so much money, she had hands and feet and could earn money to pay it back. The most important thing was that she had finally escaped from the Wang family's den of thieves, and everything was getting better.
Su Man thought about it and nodded.
"Okay, go ahead. I'll pay you after you pack your things and come out."
"Thank you, Sister Su." Hua Niang said gratefully.
Old Mrs. Wang immediately stood in front of him.
"No! Who said you can come in? This is my home. You are a fickle woman, you are not worthy to enter my home!"
"I'm just going to get back my own things!" Hua Niang said angrily.
"Oh, what's wrong? You shameless old woman, you are still thinking about stealing other people's dowry quilts. Who would dare to marry into the family with people like you?" Su Man said with a sneer.
Some villagers who couldn't stand it immediately said a few words indignantly.
Old Mrs. Wang's face turned red with anger, but she finally snorted coldly and moved away.
"Who cares about her tattered quilts? But I'm telling you, you can only take your own things. If I find out that you took anything from my Wang family, I'll sue you for stealing!"
Hua Niang closed her eyes tightly, without even looking at Wang Tuhe beside her, and walked straight in.
"Hua Niang, I'll go with you." Lian Di said immediately.
Hua Niang was about to agree, but was stopped by Old Lady Wang.
"No! What if you go in and steal something? What if something in my house is missing?"
"You!" Lian Di had never seen such a shameless person. "Do you have anything worth stealing? Even the things in your house are too dirty for me to hold!"
"If you think it's dirty, don't come in!" Cuihua was very happy now. After all, the annoying person was gone and she had money again.
"Me!" Lian Di was very angry, but she had nothing to say.
"I'll do it." Aunt Cui walked up to the Wang family and looked at them. "I can get in, right? You guys are really disgusting. You guys, take care of yourselves!"
After all, she is the village chief's wife, so she can speak more firmly.
Old Lady Wang and the others were very angry, but they couldn't say much, after all, this was indeed the village chief's wife.
Aunt Cui directly pulled Hua Niang in to pack their things.
They took out everything that belonged to the three of them, mother and daughter, and Hua Niang didn't take anything that didn't belong to them.
There were clearly three people, but they had very few belongings, only a small bag containing a set of spare clothes for each person and an old quilt tied with a rope.
Seeing these things, Su Man couldn't help but feel a little sad.
Hua Niang took the things and went straight to the door. When she passed by Wang Tuhe, she was pulled back by Wang Tuhe.
"Hua Niang, I..."
"Let go! I have nothing to do with you now! I was really blind to marry a man like you!"
"I..." Wang Tuhe was angry and embarrassed.
Old Mrs. Wang pulled Wang Tuhe's hand.
"That's enough. Isn't she just a fickle woman? Are you so reluctant to let her go? Can't you be more determined? I'll marry you another one when the time comes! I'll definitely marry you another one who'll give birth to a big fat boy!"
After hearing what his mother said, Wang Tuhe didn't say anything in the end.
Hua Niang walked straight out the door without any hesitation, but her slightly trembling body still betrayed her emotions at the moment.
Su Man pretended not to notice Hua Niang's discomfort. In fact, it was beyond her expectation that Hua Niang could do what she was doing now, and she thought it was still acceptable.
"Hey, bring the silver here quickly. She has taken all the things away. You don't want to default on your debt, do you?" Old Mrs. Wang said quickly.
She is now very worried that Su Man will default on the debt of twenty taels of silver.
Su Man gave her a sarcastic look, "Do you need to sign and fingerprint first?"
"Humph! Just sign it!"
Because Old Lady Wang and the others couldn't write, the village chief wrote their names for them and held an ink pad next to them, asking them to just put their fingerprints on it.
"Remember, both you, the old witch, and your son must put your handprints on the mark. Only then will both of you be protected. Otherwise, you will cause me trouble again." Su Man said directly.
Old Mrs. Wang now just wanted to get the twenty taels of silver as soon as possible, so naturally, she would do whatever Su Man said.
Watching the old witch and Wang Tuhe pressing their fingerprints, Su Man took a quick look and made sure there was no problem, so she asked Hua Niang to press her fingerprints as well.
At the moment of pressing the fingerprint, Hua Niang's hands were trembling, but her mood was relaxed.
Finally, she was free from the suffering.
Su Man threw the silver directly over, and Old Lady Wang and her family started counting it immediately. After making sure that nothing was missing, they closed the door immediately.
Wang Tuhe was reluctant at first, but when he saw the twenty taels of silver, and thought about how he could marry another virgin girl and have a big fat boy, he immediately forgot about Hua Niang and her mother and daughter.
Looking at the closed door, there were still marks on it from where Hua Niang had smashed it hard.
Hua Niang stood at the door in a daze. The villagers did not leave but continued to talk.
Su Man patted Hua Niang's shoulder and comforted her,
"Everything is over. From now on, it's your own life. The two children are still waiting for you. Don't you want to go see them?"
After hearing Su Man's words, Hua Niang seemed to come back to her senses. She nodded heavily and smiled at Su Man.
"Thank you, Sister Su. You are right. The rest of my life will belong to me. I also have two children. I will take good care of them."
Su Man smiled, then handed the divorce letter and the letter of severance of relationship to Hua Niang.
Hua Niang took it with red eyes, then put down the things in her hand, pulled her two daughters and knelt down in front of Su Man.
Su Man immediately helped the two children up.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and don't scare the two children."
"No, Sister Su, this is what you deserve. If it weren't for you, my two children and I would have died long ago. You have to bear this, otherwise we won't get up."
"But..." Su Man hesitated.
The village head and his wife looked at her and asked her to accept it.
Aunt Cui: "Little Su Hua Niang is right. You saved the lives of two children. It is only right that they kowtow to you now."
The villagers also recognized it in various ways.
Su Man had no choice but to stand there and let Hua Niang and her two daughters kowtow to her, and then she helped them up herself.
"By the way, village chief, could you please write an IOU for me? I owe Sister Su thirty taels. I will pay it back slowly in the future." Hua Niang looked at the village chief again.
"No need, Hua Niang, I believe you." Su Man said.
She originally didn't want Hua Niang to return it to her, but now with so many people here, she couldn't just say that she didn't need to return it, because then she might be seen as a fool with a lot of money in the eyes of others.
But Hua Niang, who had never had any ideas, was very determined at this moment.
"No, I must write you this IOU. You have helped me so much, and I feel really bad about it."
Su Man thought for a moment and said, "Okay, since you think so, let's do it this way."
Hua Niang quickly asked the village chief to help her write the IOU, and only handed it to Su Man after she pressed her own fingerprints.
Su Man accepted it.
"How about this, you guys come to my house first, eat something, and then we can discuss the next step, okay?"
Hua Niang nodded repeatedly, "Thank you then."
She has already troubled Su Man so much, there is no point in being pretentious at this time. She just needs to remember Su Man's kindness in her heart and repay her slowly in the future.
"Let's go too," said the village chief and his wife.
Su Man did not refuse.
