When the pears are green

Chapter 148: 1, 2, lenient

"What is this?" Yang Hai cursed in his heart. He didn't expect that he went to the government office with great effort, but in the end he helped the Wu family. He was afraid that Yang Tian would settle accounts with him, so he sneaked out when Yang Tian was not paying attention.

Yang Cheng handed the signed divorce agreement to Wu Wei who was standing by the door. Wu Wei opened it, read it, and smiled with satisfaction.

Wu Wei knew that if it weren't for Chen Yuan, Yang Cheng would not have signed the divorce agreement so smoothly. He thanked Chen Yuan gratefully, then took out a piece of change and asked Chen Yuan and the others to buy some tea.

Chen Yuan took the silver with a smile. He spoke a few more words to Jiang Qingzhou and then led the other three constables away.

"Bah! A bunch of money-grubbing bastards!" Yang Li spat unwillingly at the departing backs of the detectives.

Yang Tian hurriedly covered Yang Li's mouth and scolded in a low voice: "You old woman, don't you think it's not messy enough? If you want to die, don't implicate me and Cheng'er."

Yang Li rolled her eyes and looked at the angry Yang Tian and Yang Cheng. She lowered her head to indicate that she was wrong. Only then did Yang Tian loosen his hand that was covering his mouth.

"Talking about the marriage of six years, it was said that it was destined by three lives and a perfect couple. When I wrote this, I still remembered the scene of the silk ribbons and the candles burning brightly. But fate played tricks on us. We were once a perfect couple but ended up being enemies. Since we cannot be of one mind, it is better to inform all the relatives and let them go their separate ways. I hope that after we separate, you will marry someone who loves you and plant pomegranates in the yard to have many children and blessings. Let us part ways and live our lives in peace." Wu Wei ignored the three people from the Yang family. He took the divorce letter to the yard and read the contents of the letter aloud to inform the people who were watching the excitement that Yang Cheng and Wu Mingshu had divorced.

Most of the people outside the courtyard gate did not understand these flowery words, and they were all discussing in low voices what Wu Wei meant.

"What's the point? Yang Cheng signed it and took it out. He and his wife are divorced!" A young man who was hugging a tree trunk to watch the fun shouted loudly. When he saw that everyone was looking at him, he climbed down from the tree trunk and proudly told everyone what he saw.

After reading it, Wu Wei handed the divorce papers to Wu Mingshu and asked her to keep them well.

Mrs. Wu Li was in a good mood and asked Song Li to accompany Wu Mingshu to pack up Wu Mingshu's clothes. She wanted to take all of Wu Mingshu's things back today to avoid any more trouble.

Song Li accompanied Wu Mingshu into the room. Wu Mingshu looked at the room where she had lived for six years and felt deeply moved.

"Xiao Li, when my father asked me to divorce Yang Cheng, I thought he was making a fuss. I thought he would come back after he got tired of Hua Niang. But after waiting for a long time, all I got was him getting worse." Wu Mingshu no longer had the joy she had when she received the divorce papers. Instead, she was sad. It was not because she was attached to Yang Cheng, but because she was sad about her failed marriage.

Song Li hurriedly comforted Wu Mingshu: "Sister Wu, don't be sad. There are many men in this world who are better than Yang Cheng. With your temperament and appearance, you will definitely find a suitable husband. Let's pack up quickly and don't let Uncle Wu and the others wait anxiously."

Wu Mingshu felt a little better. She first put all of Yang Cheng's few clothes on the bed, and then she and Song Li packed their own clothes into the wooden box that came with the dowry, and wrapped the dowry quilt in a bed sheet.

After packing up, Wu Mingshu and Song Li left the room. Wu Mingshu asked the Wu brothers and the Chang brothers to help move the things to the oxcart outside the alley.

When the crowd saw the Wu family start to move things out, they slowly dispersed, except for Yang Jing who was standing in the distance.

After Wu Mingshu's belongings were moved in, Wu Li and Wu Wei began to discuss with the Yang family about the land and silver that Wu Mingshu would include as a dowry.

"The land and the silver are all gone. Your daughter has been eating and drinking for free in my house for six years and she hasn't even given birth to a child. It's already good enough that I didn't ask you for the silver. You're dreaming about getting the land and the silver back! You can call the constable back, but even if you arrest me, I won't give them to you." Yang Li stretched out her neck. Anyway, she was barefoot now and was not afraid of wearing shoes.

Seeing Yang Li acting like a spoiled brat, Wu Li was so angry that she wanted to go up and hit Yang Li.

"Xiuying, don't be impulsive. It's useless to beat her up. We will have to pay for it ourselves. It's not necessary." Wu Wei hurriedly stopped Wu Li. He was used to seeing Yang Li being a spoiled brat. They would only be afraid if he took real action against them.

Wu Wei patiently asked the three people from the Yang family again, and Yang Li said the same thing as before, that she would never hand over the things.

"What did I tell you at that time? I told you not to change the land deed to Yang Cheng's name, but you didn't listen. Now look what happened, ten acres of land is gone!" Mrs. Wu Li couldn't help nagging Wu Mingshu.

Wu Mingshu now knew how foolish her behavior was. Yang Cheng said a few sweet words to her, and she foolishly changed the land deed to Yang Cheng's name. She lowered her head and said to Wu Li sadly: "Mom, I'm sorry. I thought that if I transferred the land to his name, he would live a good life with me."

Seeing that Wu Mingshu was about to cry, Mrs. Wu Li quickly comforted Wu Mingshu and said, "It's all in the past. Don't think about it anymore."

Song Li also patted Wu Mingshu's back to comfort her.

"Uncle Wu, since they won't give it to us, let's start smashing it. Smash whatever is valuable in this house. We have to smash enough money for Sister Wu's dowry. Then they can go to the government office to report the case." Jiang Qingzhou, who had been silent all this time, suggested to Wu Wei.

After hearing what Jiang Qingzhou said, Yang Li jumped up. She pointed at Jiang Qingzhou's nose and cursed: "Who are you to their family? You look like a human being, but what you say is not human language."

"You were the ones who didn't behave like human beings first. Since you don't behave like human beings, why should I speak to you like human beings?" Jiang Qingzhou said calmly to Yang Li.

Yang Li patted her chest with her right hand and pointed at Jiang Qingzhou with her left hand: "You, you, you..." She didn't say a word for a long time.

Seeing that Yang Li was very angry, Yang Tian quickly asked Yang Li to sit down and rest for a while, then said to Wu Wei with a sad face: "My dear, you don't know the situation of our family in recent years. The business of the shop is not good, Cheng'er is not doing his job properly, and Mingshu's dowry has been spent long ago. Even if you want my life, I can't give it to you!"

Song Li looked at the couple with admiration. One played the good cop and the other played the bad cop. When the hard approach didn't work, they tried the soft approach. They worked together very well!

Wu Wei didn't buy Yang Tian's tricks. He firmly told Yang Tian: "Don't yell. I'm not your relative. It's fine when you run out of money. Just convert it into silver and give it to us. No more, just one hundred and twenty taels."

"How can that be possible? Why don't you ask someone to smash it? Even if they smash it all, there won't be enough one hundred and twenty taels." After Yang Tian said that, he pulled the Wu brothers and asked them to continue smashing it. The Wu brothers quickly hid behind Wu Wei.

Yang Tian returned to his room and took out a pile of his clothes for Wu Wei and Wu Lishi to tear apart. Wu Lishi was so angry that she yelled, "You old and disrespectful person, I don't want to touch your stinky clothes."

"Tsk tsk, it turns out he's even better at cheating. When a man starts to cheat, there's nothing a woman can do." Song Li couldn't help but complain in her heart. She was curious about how Wu Wei would respond.

Wu Wei calmly asked Chang Jiuan to go to the kitchen and fetch the tinder. He lit the tinder and said to Yang Tian, ​​"Since you don't think it's unlucky, I'll burn these clothes."

Yang Tian, ​​feeling very proud, quickly picked up his clothes and put them back in the room.

After several rounds of competition, Yang Chengjia finally took 80 taels of silver. Wu Wei didn't want to tangle with the Yang family anymore, so he stuffed the banknotes into his bag and led everyone out of Yang's house.

Wu Mingshu saw Yang Jing standing in the distance, and she smiled and motioned to Yang Jing to go home quickly.

Yang Jing waved goodbye to Wu Mingshu with red eyes. She said silently: "Sister Mingshu, I will come to see you when I have the chance."

Wu Mingshu met Yang Yu, who was returning from school, at the entrance of the alley. Yang Yu took a look at the things on the ox cart and realized that Wu Mingshu had divorced Yang Cheng.

The two looked at each other, and no one spoke. Just as Yang Yu passed by, Wu Mingshu called Yang Yu softly: "Yang Yu, please tell Jing'er a message."

"What?" Yang Yu asked.

"Jing'er is still my sister. I will come to see her when I come to town again." Wu Mingshu replied with a smile.

Yang Yu thought for a moment, and whispered to Wu Mingshu: "You'd better not come to see Jing'er. It's not safe for you here."

Wu Mingshu was stunned for a moment, and she thanked Yang Yu softly.

"Don't just thank me, don't you have anything else you want to say to me?" Yang Yu asked again.

Wu Mingshu felt that she and Yang Yu were not close, at most they were just familiar with each other. She frowned and thought for a while, then smiled and said to Yang Yu: "Work hard to add more food."

Yang Yu didn't say anything else. He just nodded and walked straight into the alley.

Wu Wei thanked Song Li and Jiang Qingzhou gratefully. He asked Wu Mingshu and others to send Song Li and Jiang Qingzhou home and then return to Wuzhuang Village.

Yang Yu was eating absentmindedly. He looked at Yang Jing and Yang Zhang at the table and said to them softly, "Mom, Jing'er, let's move!"

"Ah?" Yang Jing looked at Yang Yu with an incredible expression.

It is said that no one knows a child better than his mother. Yang Zhang naturally knew what was in Yang Yu's mind. She slapped Yang Yu hard on the back.

"But, Third Brother, where are we moving to?" Yang Jing felt that Yang Yu must be sick, which was why he said that.

Yang Yu continued to eat with his head down. After he swallowed the noodles in his mouth, he continued, "Didn't my eldest brother say before the New Year that he wanted to exchange yards with us? This yard is big and he has many children, so it's just right."

"You, you! I could have allowed you to give up, but now you've made such a fuss. Alas, it's fate! I'll go talk to the boss tomorrow, and you just go on with it!" Yang Zhang put the dishes and chopsticks heavily on the table and went back to her room.
