Chapter 251: WifeDivorce
Everyone listened.
"What--"
"What job are you trying to steal?"
I don’t really understand what Shen Xia means.
Shen Xia continued, "He came back to steal the silk quilt business and the production method."
Song Chengxiu immediately retorted: "No."
But An Minhua scolded: "This is originally the Song family's business. Cheng Xiu is the head of the family. Why do you need to snatch it?"
Shen Xia laughed sarcastically and said, "You still say you're not after the Song family's business. Isn't that obvious?"
Then Shen Xia looked at the villagers and said, "She has settled down in the city. If this technology is taken away from her, do you think they will come all the way here to raise silkworms?"
"No? And if my business is taken away, we won't be able to raise silkworms, and we won't have any income. Tell me, is he taking my business away?"
"He is stealing everyone's jobs! Big brother and his friends will be members of Fanhua Village forever, no matter how successful they are. They will not abandon everyone. But some people can even abandon their original wives and children, and live a comfortable life by themselves. Do you think he will care about everyone?"
When everyone heard it, they said, "That's right!"
Everyone was burning with anger.
Thinking about the income I have earned from raising silkworms in the past two months, I am thinking about raising more next year.
As a result, someone actually took our jobs.
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
They were all used to pull An Minhua's servants and maids.
Both of them had their hair messy because of their scratches.
Four guards quickly protected An Minhua.
Because the four men had knives, they did not dare to get close to An Minhua.
But the same cannot be said for the people next to him.
After all, country people are used to doing physical work.
That strength is not just small.
"Madam, help!"
"Madam, help me!"
At this time, An Minhua shouted, "Stop it! Do you know who my brother-in-law is? He is the prefect of Mingxuan Prefecture. If you dare to do that again, I will have my brother-in-law arrest all of you and put you in jail."
Listen to it, everyone.
Is the background so strong?
So he stopped.
Anyway, I've had enough of it.
At this time, Old Madam Song and later Old Man Song also arrived.
I went back to the house in front to pack my things.
It turned out that Cheng Xiu's wife was the sister of the prefect's wife.
God!
What an official that is!
Instantly my back felt straightened.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way," and then looked at An Minhua and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law! I am your mother-in-law."
An Minhua took a look and saw the impatience in the eyes of the poorly dressed old lady, so much so that even a blind person could see it.
But the old lady seemed not to see it.
In fact, what Old Mrs. Song was wearing was just an ordinary cotton-padded coat, which Song Chengxiu asked his mother to make these two days.
Song Chengxiu said: "Mom, this is Minhua,"
"Okay, okay," he glanced at Song's mother and said proudly, "My eldest son is still the best."
Shen Xia couldn't stand Song's mother's anger, so she said to Ruyi directly: "Ruyi, go in and bring out a cup of tea. Since my concubine is here, you must offer a cup of tea to mother first."
When An Minhua heard Shen Xia say that she was a concubine, she wanted to go up and slap Shen Xia in the face.
As a result, Song Jiang stood directly in front of him.
"Isn't what Xia Xia said wrong?" Song Jiang looked at Song Chengxiu.
"This is because there is no precedent for marrying two wives in the Jinyuan Dynasty."
Shen Xia poked his head out and said, "If I remember correctly, bigamy is against the law of the court. You can take concubines, but you can't have two wives."
I have read books about the imperial court when I had nothing to do before.
This is to protect the original wife. You can take a concubine or a second wife, but the second wife is also a concubine in the documents, it's just that the term sounds better.
Only then did Song Chengxiu remember the laws of the Jin Yuan Dynasty.
An Minhua looked at Song's mother, then said to Song Chengxiu: "Divorce her for me."
"Don't even think about it. The only solution is divorce." Shen Xia shouted.
When Old Lady Song heard this, she said, "That's right. Divorce her. She has no respect for the elderly and she doesn't teach her sons well."
Song Chengxiu glanced at Song's mother and sons.
Then he looked at An Minhua: "But son?"
"We have a son and a daughter, what are we afraid of? Look, your son is completely in the same mind as his mother, it's useless for you to come." An Minhua instigated.
Of course I couldn't accept it because he had another son.
Better to kick them out together.
Third uncle came out and advised: "Cheng Xiu, Zhao Yan has worked hard for so many years to raise five children to this day, you can't just divorce her! You still have to show some mercy!"
Old Lady Song yelled at Uncle San, "This is our eldest family's business, Uncle San, you don't have to worry about it."
Song's mother looked at Song Chengxiu in disbelief: "Are you really going to divorce me?"
Song Chengxiu frowned and hesitated, but this was not because of Song's mother, but because of the five children of the Song family.
Especially Song Yun, I heard that he is now a scholar, and even the top scorer in the imperial examination. He will definitely have a chance to be admitted to high school in the future!
Seeing Song Chengxiu hesitate, An Minhua said dissatisfiedly: "What are you still hesitating about?"
Song Chengxiu finally spoke: "Stop."
After hearing this, Shen Xia said to Yan Yi, "Yan Yi, go to the county on horseback to report that someone in Fanhua Village has committed bigamy."
Everyone listened,
what?
Song Chengxiu looked at Shen Xia.
An Minhua was also angry.
But he said fearlessly, "What are you afraid of? He's just a county magistrate. I just need to tell my brother-in-law, and I will definitely divorce your mother-in-law."
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Really? Are you so sure?"
"Of course, he is just a county magistrate, how can he disobey the prefect?"
Although everyone thinks Song Chengxiu is not a human being, they all think that a higher-ranking official can crush people.
Everyone looked at Song's mother with pity.
Shen Xia laughed and said, "The county magistrate Zheng Jinshu is the legitimate son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue in the capital. His father is a second-rank official. He is afraid of you, a fourth-rank prefect. Are you kidding me?"
An Minhua frowned. How could the son of a second-rank official be a county magistrate here?
No, she must be lying.
Shen Xia continued, "You can write a letter to your brother-in-law who is the prefect, and ask him about the background of the magistrate of Wuyang County. We have plenty of time to waste with you."
"Then look at Song Chengxiu. The only way is to divorce him. If you dare to write a divorce letter, I will sue you."
Then he looked at An Minhua and said, "I said you are from the An family, and you know that he didn't really lose his memory. Do you think I don't have any background at all?"
"I advise you not to have those crooked thoughts. Just live your own life well. If you don't interfere with others, isn't that good?"
An Minhua stared at Shen Xia's eyes. When he came here, he thought they were just an ordinary farmer's family. How come he hadn't received any useful information after so long of cultivation?
After coming here, I realized that things are not that simple.
The news that Liu Wu brought back said that Cheng Xiu was together with his original wife.
I came by myself, but Chen Xiu said that there was nothing at all.
It seems.
This is probably a routine.
An Minhua raised the corner of his mouth. He didn't expect that there was such a powerful person here.
But it can't be so easy for them to just write a divorce letter.
An Minhua smiled and said, "We can get a divorce, but Zhao Yan and the five brothers will have to leave the house with nothing."
