"Please ask the village chief and all the clan elders to bear witness. This is the divorce letter I wrote for my brother Lu Si."
Lu Yaozong took out the divorce letter from his sleeve, unfolded it in the direction of Jiang Ning, and handed it to the village chief Lu Zhenxing respectfully.
Lu Zhenxing was a few years older than Lu Yaozong. He was not as good at reading as Lu Yaozong and could only read a few words.
He had taken over the position of village chief from his father, and for this reason his father had to deal with many people.
After he successfully became the village chief, Lu Yaozong was admitted to the Tongsheng Examination, and there were only a handful of scholars in his Lujia Village.
Lu Yaozong suddenly became a famous person in the village, and he, the newly appointed village chief, had to make way for him.
He was given the right to discuss matters within the clan, and some even coaxed Lu Yaozong to replace him as village chief.
He didn't even want to pay attention to this matter, but Lu Yaozong was drunk with wine and said he wanted to apologize to him.
He also sold it in front of many villagers, saying that he did not have this ambition and wanted to continue studying and seek a future for Lujia Village.
Lu Zhenxing glanced at the respectful Lu Yaozong, picked up the divorce letter, and read it from beginning to end.
"Village Chief, Village Chief, you have to make the decision for us. We are all from Lujia Village. Now we are being bullied by outsiders. You can't ignore it. Others think Lujia Village is easy to bully."
Wang Xiuhua pulled the village chief's sleeve and cried. She naturally knew about the friction between her son and Lu Zhenxing, and was afraid that Lu Zhenxing would not help her family, so she said this deliberately.
Lu Zhenxing spat at Wang in his heart, he was trying to force him.
When the three boys saw Xiu Shu and the village chief coming out, they were so panicked that they completely forgot about Jiang Ning's instructions.
"Village chief, they are lying. I was forced to get married by my uncle. My mother, brother and younger brother scolded them all to protect me."
Lu Yuan rushed out and recounted what happened that day while crying.
Li rushed out and pointed at Lu Yuan, teaching her that she hated iron.
"You silly girl, what right does my uncle have to arrest you? It was your stepmother who came to me and asked me about that shabby place. I pressed and found out that she disliked you as a useless girl and wanted to sell you there. It’s a shabby place.”
Li turned around and looked at the village chief and other people in the village, bursting into tears.
"I felt sorry for Er Nier, so I discussed it with the boss, and then gave the money to Mrs. Jiang, pretending that I wanted to buy Er Nier. I had good intentions, but why did I turn out to be a bad person?"
Lu Yaozong wiped away Li's tears, and then wiped away his own tears.
"In this world, it's hard to be a good person. As long as we have a clear conscience, it's okay as long as I know you are right."
"Husband, I have caused trouble for you."
Mrs. Li cried and fell into Lu Yaozong's arms.
Everyone obviously believed Lu Yaozong and Li's statement more and cursed Jiang Ning.
"You are such a poisonous woman. Sure enough, you are not my biological child, so you don't know how to care for her."
"Village Chief, such a woman is not worthy of entering our Lujia Village."
"Yao Zong and his wife, such good people, cannot be bullied like this."
Lu Yuan was so angry that he cried. It was obviously not like this, but why did his aunt change his meaning after just a few words?
She jumped on Jiang Ning's suspicion and cried until she choked.
"Mom, what should I do? My uncle is obviously talking nonsense."
Lu Ping clenched his fists, his eyes were red, and he silently looked down at the stones on the ground, holding back tears.
Lu Sheng leaned on Lu Ping's lap. He couldn't tell whether he was angry or frightened by the scene in front of him. He cried with tears and snot in his nose.
"She is talking nonsense. My mother is not that kind of person. You are all talking nonsense."
No one paid attention to Lu Sheng's cry. Everyone comforted Li, saying that Lu Sheng was young and ignorant, and asked Li not to take it to heart.
"This Mrs. Jiang is really good at being a good person. She is a stepmother who is obviously a bitch-hearted, but she deceived the three children into treating her as their own mother."
"Ms. Jiang, your three children treat you like your own mother, but you treat them like this. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
The people present were all parents. Jiang Ning was very puzzled by the three children's persistent trust. The children were still young and could distinguish between good and bad. It could only be that this adult was too good at putting on airs.
"Village chief, drive Mrs. Jiang out."
"Such a poisonous woman has simply dirty the land of Lujia Village."
Lu Zhenxing was watching a good show, but the fire burned him.
"Ahem, okay, stop arguing and listen to me."
Everyone immediately fell silent and stared at Lu Zhenxing, demanding that he, the village chief, give an explanation.
He picked up the divorce letter, read the words he recognized, and then transformed them into his own words.
"Ms. Jiang, you disrespect your elders at the top, treat your children harshly at the bottom, spread rumors and stir up trouble, and confuse right and wrong with your words. Now the Lu family has written a divorce letter."
Lu Zhenxing held up the divorce letter for everyone to see.
"I hope all the women in Lujia Village will take Jiang as a warning. They must not be that kind of unkind and unjust woman who doesn't live a good life. She will end up like Jiang."
Lu Zhenxing sighed heavily, looked at Jiang Ning disappointedly and said.
"When you harm others, you end up harming yourself, Jiang. You brought this on yourself. Lu Mo goes to the ancestral hall and asks for the genealogy to remove the Jiang family."
