After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 126: Divorce, the woman has to return the betrothal gift to the man

Zeng Xianglan was so angry that she glared at him but couldn't say a word. Seeing Chen Daquan cowering on the side, she went up and pushed him: "You coward! Don't you see that others are bullying us? You can't say a word."

Chen Daquan spread his hands and said, "What can I say? You have said everything that needs to be said."

Zeng Xianglan was even more angry.

Seeing that his father couldn't even fart, Chen Man snorted and dragged his legs to Zeng Xianglan's side: "Mom, I don't want Wang Daya to be my wife. This pregnancy is all girls. If I have another baby, it might be a girl too."

Zeng Xianglan naturally didn't want Wang Daya as her daughter-in-law anymore. If she wanted her again, her family was so troublesome, and who knows, this daughter-in-law might dare to shit on her head in the future.

But..., she looked at the village chief, who hadn't said a word about all this, what should she do.

Jiang Xiaohe had been staring at the village chief. To be honest, she felt very uneasy. If they really detained them or did something to them, how could they be a match for the people in this village?

What she is betting on now is one person's heart.

Seeing that the village chief was silent, someone standing at the door spoke up: "Village chief, I don't think it's necessary to make such a big fuss about Chen Man's family. It's already difficult to find a wife in our village. If this gets out of hand, which girl will be willing to marry into our village in the future?"

This statement was echoed by many people outside: "That's right, Village Chief, you should also think about those of us who haven't found wives yet."

Many people nodded in agreement.

At this time, the man behind the village chief was not happy: "Chen He, you know nothing. If this precedent is set, what will happen if all the women in the village rebel in the future?"

The man called Chen He curled his lips and crossed his hands into his sleeves: "You have a wife, so you naturally say that. I don't have a wife. Humph, as long as I can marry a wife, she can rebel, but it's like sleeping on a cold kang."

This caused the people around him to laugh and scold him for being crazy about wanting a wife.

He retorted: "You know nothing!"

Village Chief Chen looked at it and raised his hand: "That's enough, you are not afraid of losing face in front of outsiders."

Everyone stopped talking and looked at him.

Village Chief Chen pondered for a moment before looking at Zeng Xianglan and saying, "Wang Daya is the second daughter-in-law your family has married, right?"

Zeng Xianglan was a little unhappy: "So what if it's the second one? It's my family's money that was spent."

The village chief felt uncomfortable when he heard her say that, but he still said, "Since this is the second one, why don't you treat him well?"

Jiang Xiaohe listened to this and felt that the village chief was also a slick guy. Who was he saying this to? But she was relieved because she understood that he didn't want to make a big deal out of it. So, that was easy to say.

"If she gave birth to a son, I would not treat her well. I married her to give birth to a son. Who told her to be unprepared? The first baby she gave birth to was a money-losing one. Can you blame me?"

Village Chief Chen didn't want to talk to her any more.

Looking at Jiang Xiaohe, he said, "This matter is just like what you said before. It is your family affair. As a village chief, I can only be a witness and cannot make a decision for you."

"Village chief, are you just going to let them go like this?" The man behind him immediately disagreed.

"What are you talking about? Our village's reputation is ruined by your words!"

When the man saw his eyes, he felt a little scared and immediately shut up.

When Zeng Xianglan saw it, she was immediately furious.

"Village chief, you won't make the decision for my family?"

Village Chief Chen clasped his hands in front of him and said, "I haven't made the decision for your family yet? When you say these words, it's best to think about it in your heart."

Zeng Xianglan immediately stopped talking and just stared at Jiang Xiaohe angrily.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at this scene and it was time to speak: "Village Chief Chen is really a reasonable person. Then, for this silver, shall we do as I say?"

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Chen Xiuquan to take out the silver, she immediately took out four taels of silver from her pocket, and took out the divorce documents she had prepared in advance.

Zeng Xianglan was unwilling to accept either the money or the divorce letter.

Finally, Jiang Xiaohe said, "It's almost dawn. If we haven't gone back yet..."

Village Chief Chen immediately coughed and said, "Go on!"

Zeng Xianglan then reluctantly accepted the silver and the divorce letter.

But she raised the divorce papers and proudly threw them at Jiang Xiaohe's face: "You're dreaming about divorce! She, Wang Daya, was divorced by our family!"

Oh shit!

Jiang Xiaohe stretched out her hand and took back the four taels of silver that had just been given to her.

"you...."

He put the silver in his arms and said, "Okay, if you want to divorce my elder sister, then we don't have to return the betrothal silver. Just write the divorce letter now and we won't say a word."

Chen Xiuquan was a little anxious. No, her daughter Da Ya could not be divorced.

Zeng Hua pulled her back and said, "Don't worry. Do you believe that the Chen family would not want the four taels of silver?"

Only then did Chen Xiuquan calm herself down; she almost lost control of herself.

Zeng Xianglan became anxious when she heard Jiang Xiaohe say that the silver had been taken back.

"Give me the silver!"

Jiang Xiaohe picked up the divorce agreement from the ground and said, "Let your son sign and put his fingerprints on it! Otherwise, you won't get a single penny."

"Village Chief! They went back on their word!"

"Zeng Xianglan, we went back on our word? So many eyes are watching us! Everyone knows who is the one who went back on his word!"

Then, she turned to the village chief and said, "Village Chief Chen, according to the laws of our dynasty, the person who divorces does not have to return the betrothal gift, right? Only when both parties agree to divorce amicably, the woman needs to return the betrothal gift to the man."

Village Chief Chen nodded.

"Zeng Xianglan, it depends on what you do. Do you want four taels of silver to help your son find a new wife, or do you want to divorce my eldest sister just to save your family's reputation?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Chen Man pulled his mother and said, "Mom, I want to marry a new wife. I'll sign and put my fingerprints on it."

Zeng Xianglan was so angry that she finally took the divorce papers from Jiang Xiaohe and signed and sealed them.

Chen Xiuquan also pulled Wang Daya out. The farmers could not write, so Wang Daya drew a circle where her name should be written, bit her finger, and pressed her thumb print!

The moment the fingerprints were pressed, tears flowed down her face and dripped onto the divorce papers.

Zeng Xianglan was still making sarcastic remarks at the side, and Chen Xiuquan spat on her.

"It would be a sin for anyone to marry their daughter to your family!"

"you!"

Chen Xiuqun ignored her and turned to Wang Daya, with a look of heartache on her face: "Okay, everything is fine!"

Wang Daya curled up in Chen Xiuquan's arms, crying out of breath.

Jiang Xiaohe put away the divorce letter and then took out the silver.

Zeng Xianglan was about to catch it when she accidentally dropped the silver on the ground: "Oh, auntie, why didn't you catch it?"

Zeng Xianglan was so angry that she pointed at Jiang Xiaohe and was about to curse, but she saw Chen Man had already bent down to pick up the silver. Suddenly she didn't know who to be angry with.
