Before the contract took effect, Zhang Qiquan was unable to leave for Anshui County.
But sitting in the small courtyard, I feel depressed and uncomfortable.
Liu Cui could still chat with Zhang Xianglian from morning to night, but he could only use crutches and drag Wen Zhiyun's re-tied legs through the county.
I happened to see Zhou Zhiqiang inquiring about the residence of Jiang Sheng brother and sister in the county.
Without his wife to take care of him, the slovenly man gestured with his hands and feet, "You are just a seven or eight-year-old girl. She is very good-looking, but she is full of bad things. She looks like a bitch at first glance."
This description simply made Zhang Qiquan choke.
Of course, I also got the impatience from the merchant, "Gungun, I don't know you."
Zhou Zhiqiang was furious, but he didn't dare to do anything to the strange merchant. He could only walk to the corner and spit out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, "Damn you bitch, when the county magistrate comes, I will file a complaint and die." you."
Zhang Qiquan shook his head, saw him walking away, and quickly returned to the small courtyard.
"The Xieyang County Magistrate will take office soon. It would be quite troublesome if he really sues." He asked, "Do you want to..."
Zhang Quanquan meant whether to stop him or not.
But Jiang Sheng jumped up next to him and answered, "How about we sue him?"
Everyone in the courtyard couldn't help but look sideways.
As expected, the little girl grew up wandering, her brain circuit is different from ordinary people, and her entry points are always novel.
But when she thought about it carefully, her words did make sense.
By asking Zhou Zhiqiang to file a complaint, Zhang Xianglian became a runaway wife. Even if she presented all kinds of evidence of being beaten and scolded, it was just to prove herself.
But if Zhou Zhiqiang is sued in turn, it will be a crime for Zhou Zhiqiang. It is up to him to find evidence, refute and prove himself.
"But we have never had a clause to sue our husband for beating someone." Liu Cui sighed, "Only women are guilty of the seven-out rule, but I have never heard of men being guilty of any crimes."
As soon as these words came out, the small courtyard was silent.
Everyone is thinking hard about what reasons the woman has to sue her husband.
Zhang Xianglian looked at the child with a sad face, then at the child with a frown, but hesitated to speak.
"I...I just had a miscarriage, is it possible?" After a long while, she said tremblingly, "A month ago, I was pregnant for seven months, but Zhou Zhiqiang arranged to screen feces, which caused the miscarriage. The baby grew into a human shape, but still didn't... Survive..."
Before that, Zhang Xianglian still had hopes and wanted to live a good life with Zhou Zhiqiang for the sake of her baby.
It was not until after the miscarriage that the doctor came to check her pulse and said that she would never be pregnant again in her life, Zhang Xianglian's heart died.
So she gradually dared to quarrel with Zhou Zhiqiang.
You can also suddenly find the courage to escape from that cage-like home.
"I have given birth to a total of four babies in my life, and each time I was tired and had a miscarriage." Zhang Xianglian's voice was sad. "No matter whether I was three months or seven months pregnant, the Zhou family could always find work for me to do, and it was not work in the fields. , just doing laundry, cooking and washing dishes, every time..."
Jiang Sheng burst into tears upon hearing this.
Doing the math, my aunt was already two months pregnant when she was forced to change into a cotton-padded jacket by Zhou Zhiqiang.
No wonder she said she couldn't leave, no wonder she said she couldn't bear it.
"Old sister, you are suffering too much." Liu Cui also cried.
She and Zhang Qiquan couldn't have children. The Zhou family didn't cherish the children when they had children, and even arranged for a pregnant woman to work. It was a god-damn crime.
"Causing a miscarriage is a responsibility according to the laws of the Great Chongqing Dynasty." Xu Mo, who had returned from school, stood at the door and said slowly.
Wen Zhiyun, who came back carrying a small medicine box, also added, "Miscarriage can be detected within three months by checking the pulse."
Jiang Sheng's eyes lit up instantly.
With these foundations in place, filing a complaint is no longer difficult.
Xu Mo wrote the petition, and Wen Zhiyun assisted in taking the pulse, while also replenishing Aunt Zhang's weak body.
Long awaited.
In early July, Xieyang's new county magistrate finally arrived in a carriage to take office.
Zhang Xianglian took the paper, knelt on the road he must pass, kowtowed and complained.
This was one of the first three things a new official would do when he took office. The Xieyang County magistrate had no choice but to ignore it, and Xu Mo, a scholar, spoke instead, and Zhang Qiquan and Liu Cui witnessed the reputation of the Zhou family in the village.
No matter how Zhou Zhiqiang cursed, hit or beat her, or even openly wanted to beat Zhang Xianglian to death in the lobby, nothing could change the final verdict.
"This is the case in which Zhang Xianglian and Zhou Zhiqiang were beaten to the point of miscarriage. It is true that Zhou Zhiqiang took action. Therefore, the two people are sentenced to dissolve their relationship as husband and wife and go their separate ways from then on, with no further relationship."
When the verdict and divorce letter came down, Zhang Xianglian had already burst into tears.
Zhou Zhiqiang was still jumping on the spot, "I'm not convinced, I'm not convinced. She is the one I married. Why should she run away at her word? Why should she reconcile with me? Even if I really don't want her, I can only divorce my wife."
But no one paid any attention to him.
Liu Cui happily pulled Zhang Xianglian, while Jiang Sheng smiled with big white teeth next to her.
Several children were also happy.
Xu Mo was looking at his sister and smiling when he suddenly noticed a prying gaze. He turned his head and met the new county magistrate's round eyes.
When he realized that he had been discovered, the new county magistrate immediately lowered his eyes and pretended to study the case records.
Speaking of which, the new county magistrate is quite young, only in his twenties, with a fair face and beardless appearance, a dignified and delicate appearance, and he can even solve cases so neatly.
To be fair, he should be a good county magistrate.
But his prying eyes really made people feel uncomfortable.
Xu Mo forced himself to endure it and returned to the small courtyard with his younger brothers and sisters.
Zhang Xianglian has calmed down and is asking Liu Cui to talk privately.
The contract between Zhang Qiquan and Zheng Ruqian has also passed the clear road and officially entered into force.
Today, the Zhang family and his wife are leaving for Anshui County.
Zheng Ruqian knew that they were short of money and had already prepared fifty taels of silver. "Uncle Zhang, I will leave the workshop money to you, and you will also draw from it for your daily needs. Don't be polite to me."
Zhang Qiquan took the money and felt deeply for his boss's generous trust, but also felt sad for his current embarrassment.
They couldn't even pay for food.
Dekui met Zheng Ruqian and Dekui signed the contract.
Liu Cui was also saying goodbye to Zhang Xianglian.
"Sister Zhang, we may live in Anshui County permanently in the future and help my boss open a workshop there. If you have nowhere to go, why not come with us." She babbled.
Zhang Xianglian was about to speak when she looked up and saw Jiang Sheng's nervous expression. She immediately smiled and said, "Sister, it's good to leave here, but I can't worry about the children."
There are six little ones in total, the oldest is twelve years old and the youngest is eight years old, which is really worrying.
"I don't have much ability, I can only do some housework." Zhang Xianglian said softly, "Maybe I won't make much money, but I will definitely be able to take care of several children."
Jiang Sheng nodded desperately beside him.
She didn't want Aunt Zhang to go to Anshui County, so she wouldn't be able to eat delicious fried chicken nuggets with green peppers.
Although the eldest brother's work is not bad, but compared with her aunt's craftsmanship...she chooses Aunt Zhang!
Jiang Sheng stroked her chest, hoping that her eldest brother wouldn't hear what she just said.
