Cyclamen has been open for several days, and there is an endless stream of customers coming every day, and it has become famous in the town.
Su Liuye went to work after nursing her leg injury for a few days. Dabao was watching Erbao in the backyard to prevent her from running out again.
"A Liu, someone is looking for you outside!"
Qin Lian shouted at her.
"Who is it? I'll go over and have a look."
She put down the bill in her hand, went outside and saw a carriage parked aside.
As they approached, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and the man holding the puppy got out of the carriage.
Su Liuye recognized this person as Ming Yin's guard.
He stepped forward and said, "Miss Su, my young master asks you to take care of Xiaobai. We will come back to pick him up in a few days."
"give it to me?"
She was surprised.
Ming Yin usually likes this little white dog and hugs it no matter where she goes, but this time she returns to the capital and leaves the dog with her?
"Yes."
The guard said, taking out the money bag, "This is what our young master gave to the girl. Please trouble me."
The money bag was heavy, and it looked like it contained at least dozens of taels of silver.
Su Liuye simply took it and brought the puppy over.
I was about to ask when the puppy would be picked up, but the person in front of me bowed his hands and left.
"Woof woof!"
The little white dog was wagging its tail in her arms and looking straight at her.
Su Liuye touched the puppy's head and carried it to the backyard for Dabao and the others to watch.
I was busy in the store all day in the afternoon, and only had time to rest in the evening.
She simply brushed him off and the injury on her leg was mostly healed.
Thinking of the stabbing scene that night, I made some calculations in my mind. It was time for the bandits to go to the town.
Why were they in such a hurry to leave?
She has been worried these past few days, afraid that bandits will come to settle the score with her...
Now it seems that her worries are unnecessary.
Su Liuye changed her medicine and went to bed early to rest. Early the next morning, she accompanied Zhang Niang to the Yamen to sign a divorce agreement with Wu Ping.
There was no need to alert the Yamen about this matter, but everyone in the Wu family disagreed, so it could only be handled by the Yamen. The previous magistrate and master were imprisoned for colluding with bandits. Now the person in charge of the government office is He Zhong, the former magistrate of Luoxi Town.
Probably knowing that Su Liuye and Yang Chongzhou knew each other, He Zhong quickly prepared the documents and summoned Wu Ping's mother.
"Wu Li, you should know that Wu Ping is still in prison. I know everything he has done in the past. It is reasonable and reasonable for Wu Zhang to propose a divorce." He Zhong said in a serious voice, "Because Wu Ping is still in jail. In the prison, it’s up to you to sign this document!”
"I won't sign!"
Mother Wu scolded, "How can this woman reconcile just by saying she wants to make peace? I don't agree! Our Wu family doesn't have such rules. She was born as a member of the Wu family, and she will die as a ghost of the Wu family!"
"presumptuous!"
He Zhong slammed the table angrily, "The Yamen has already agreed to the divorce, it's not your turn to refute! Do you think I don't know this at all? Wu Ping beat Zhang on the street many times, and he never did his part in raising the children." Responsibility, according to the laws of our country, Zhang can propose reconciliation!"
"You have repeatedly bribed Zhang Shan to deal with the Zhang family. I also know this!"
As he spoke, he threw the bill in his hand to Wu's mother, "If this matter is pursued, neither Wu Ping nor Zhang Shan will be able to escape!"
Wu's mother turned pale with fright. Although she didn't understand the words on it, she knew what Wu Ping had done. If Wu Ping was really imprisoned...
She glared fiercely at Su Liuye and Mrs. Zhang, and suddenly started to cry, "Oh! You just joined forces to bully us orphans and widowed mothers. It's unreasonable, it's really unreasonable!"
"Back then, this woman killed my father and mother, and then killed Ah Ping's father. Shui Sheng was also killed by this woman! How could anyone in the town be willing to have her at that time? It was my family, A Ping, who insisted on marrying her in. Those two losers of hers don’t belong to A Ping!”
Hearing this, Su Liuye looked at the woman beside him.
Mrs. Zhang lowered her eyes, unable to tell what her expression was.
He Zhong thought she was too noisy, so he picked up the wooden stick and slapped it on the table, "Quiet! How can you be allowed to mess around in the court? Let me ask you again, do you sign the document of divorce?"
"I... don't bully others too much!" Mother Wu shrank her neck and cried again, "I, Ah Ping, are still in prison, and this woman is just thinking about getting along with each other. She doesn't want to be with me at all. Let’s live a peaceful life! We have been married for so many years and have refused to have sex, and now we want to get divorced!”
Hearing her words, He Zhong showed disdain, "Ms. Wu Li, do you really think you don't know anything about me? Your Wu family was originally eyeing the store that is now Xiankelai, and you didn't really want to welcome the Zhang family." .”
"I……"
"Okay, Mrs. Zhang is willing to give the Wu family fifty taels of silver in one go. If you sign now, the money will be given to you right away."
"Fifty taels?!" Mother Wu sneered and opened her mouth to curse, "Don't you think I don't know? She made five hundred taels of silver after selling her store, so she gave me fifty taels? Bah!"
"Wu Lishi!"
He Zhong's face darkened, "This is the court, do you still want to rebel?"
Mother Wu's body trembled, fear appeared in her eyes, but she soon cursed, "Master, this is a matter between my A Ping and this woman, why do you insist on getting involved? My A Ping is still in prison, I How can I sign for him, I don’t even know the big characters?”
"Okay, you don't want to, right?"
He Zhong was no longer interested in talking to her anymore and asked the Yamen to take her down, "Quit!"
After Wu's mother left cursing, He Zhong walked up to Su Liuye and sighed helplessly, "Shopkeeper Su, you have also seen that Mrs. Wu Li is not willing to sign the divorce document for Wu Ping at all, and the government cannot force her to do so." , now we can only wait for Wu Ping to be released from prison and let her sign it in person."
"Excuse me, Master He."
Zhang said.
Su Liuye also knew the difficulty. After thanking He Zhong, he followed Zhang and left the Yamen.
On the way, there was nothing wrong with Mrs. Zhang, and she even took Su Liuye for a walk around the lively places in the town. It was almost noon when they returned to Cyclamen.
"Shopkeeper Su, I'm sorry to trouble you today. I'm going to boil the sugar water first."
"good."
Su Liuye nodded, looking at Mrs. Zhang's back she just felt sad. She didn't know what she had gone through over the years to be able to raise her two daughters by herself.
But Zhang obviously didn't want to talk more about these things, and it was hard for her to ask any more questions.
"Aliu, how's it going? Is the matter settled?"
Qin Lian came from the kitchen and saw her coming back. She was stunned and asked unexpectedly.
Su Liuye shook her head, "No, Wu Ping's mother refuses to sign, and the government has no way to force her. Now it seems that they can only wait for Wu Ping to come out of prison before trying to find a way to get him to sign."
