Chapter 349 She Can Only Be Divorced
"How dare you stop me? Let me in."
"This is the Wu family. It's not the turn of the daughter-in-law's aunt to make the decision."
"Duo'er, come and open the door for Dad."
Wu Musheng shouted louder and louder.
Tong Pan'di was weak after giving birth. Tong Huaqiong was afraid that Wu Musheng would irritate Tong Pan'di, so she went to the door to confront Wu Musheng.
Su Chengmin was standing at the door with a bowl of freshly cooked chicken in his hand, eating it. No matter how Wu Musheng shouted, he refused to let him in.
Wu Musheng saw Su Chengmin sitting at the door to stop him. A groom wanted to stop him?
He didn't want to go in at first. What's so good about a little girl?
If he wasn't afraid that her aunt and the country lady would make a big fuss, and if he didn't want to keep her and demote her to a concubine to temper Tong Pandi's enthusiasm, he wouldn't have wanted to enter the delivery room.
A room full of the smell of blood isn't unlucky enough.
Wu Mu rushed in forcefully.
Unable to get in, he reached out to push Su Chengmin.
Su Chengmin kicked Wu Musheng and knocked him down in the corridor.
When Tong Huaqiong arrived at the door, she saw Wu Musheng lying face down.
Su Chengmin was very strong and Wu Musheng cried miserably.
Wu Ren and Qiao went forward to check with concern.
The noise was so loud that it attracted a whole yard of people to watch the fun.
"You...you are going too far." Qiao pointed at Tong Huaqiong and trembled with anger.
Wu Ren shouted angrily: "Can't you be reasonable, Mr. Xiang? This is our Wu family, not the Tong family or the Gu family. You have no right to make the decision."
Tong Huaqiong said coldly: "You Wu family are a bunch of bad guys. You didn't want to kill her while she was giving birth, so you want to break in and do it yourself?"
"I won't waste my words on you today. Tong Pandi wants to divorce. I'm here to inform you that from today on, Tong Pandi is no longer the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. Duo'er and the newborn baby will not stay in the Wu family. Now, I'm taking Pandi away."
Wu Ren was shocked and asked, "What do you mean by divorce? Are you here to break up the marriage or what?"
Mrs. Qiao yelled, "There is no way we can get a divorce. If Tong Pandi wants to leave our Wu family, he can only be divorced."
Wu Musheng climbed up from the ground, covered in snow.
He didn't expect that Tong Pandi, who had always been under his control, would want to divorce.
Even if she wanted to leave the Wu family, she would be divorced.
The divorce was a slap in the face for Wu Musheng.
Tong Huaqiong didn't even bother to look at the Wu family and arranged for Su Chengmin to harness the car.
Su Chengmin said to Tong Huaqiong: "Aunt Tong, the car has been prepared."
Tong Huaqiong looked at Su Chengmin approvingly.
Here, Mrs. Hong announced in the house that everything had been packed and they could set off at any time.
Tong Huaqiong thought of Ma Wenpo who was locked up in the woodshed by Su Chengmin. He decided to let her go for the time being and take Tong Pandi away from the Wu family.
"Mother Duo'er, Brother Pan...you are a member of the Wu family, you cannot leave the Wu family."
Wu Musheng saw Hong holding the baby, and Tong Pandi was supported by Hong and walked out step by step with difficulty.
Following behind was Duoer, who was holding a package.
Tong Pandi calmed herself down and said, "Wu Musheng, from now on I am no longer a wife of the Wu family."
The voice was weak but firm.
The snow was falling heavily and a layer of snow accumulated on the ground.
Tong Huaqiong was worried that Tong Pan's daughter would have problems walking right after giving birth, so she asked Su Chengmin to carry the thickly wrapped Tong Pan's daughter to the carriage.
Fortunately, although Su Chengmin is an ancient man, he is not rigid. At such a moment, he knows that saving people is more important than the separation of men and women.
Su Chengmin took Tong Pandi from Cai Wenpo's hands and held him up steadily.
This action made Wu Mu furious.
Wu Ren and Qiao felt that their family was unfortunate as their son was cuckolded.
Even though they all decided to divorce Pan Di, they still believed that Tong Pan Di would be the ghost of the Wu family until his death.
Since she is a member of the Wu family, let alone being hugged by a man from outside, even looking at him would be an insult to the Wu family.
Mrs. Qiao cursed loudly, "How shameless! No wonder you want to divorce me. It turns out you are cheating on me."
Tong Huaqiong cursed back: "Stealing, stealing, you are so skilled, are you used to it?"
Qiao was so angry that she almost fell backwards.
Tong Pandi was unmoved by the humiliation and insults.
In her previous life, she would never even look at a man outside her family, so now she is being held by a man outside her family just to save her life.
Su Chengmin was holding Tong Pandi and walking out, but was stopped by Wu Musheng.
Wu Musheng's eyes were bloodshot as he cursed Su Chengmin and Tong Pandi as a pair of bastards, but was kicked away by Su Chengmin.
Wu Ren felt heartbroken when he saw his son being kicked twice.
Qiao pulled Tong Huaqiong and shouted that she had committed murder, but Tong Huaqiong pushed her away.
"Murder? This family really killed their daughter-in-law."
"Where are the Wu family members? Where is the midwife? Bring them all to me?"
Tong Huaqiong turned around and saw several officials coming in. Tong Huaqiong recognized the runner walking in front. He was Jiao, a runner whom County Magistrate Liu trusted quite a lot.
Jiao Yayi had been in and out of Qinghe Bay many times, and he and Tong Huaqiong were quite familiar with each other.
After receiving the report from the charcoal seller, he did not dare to delay and brought other officers to Heilongtan in the wind and snow.
The servant Jiao bowed to Tong Huaqiong.
With a quick turn, he saw people all over the yard and guessed that it was a family conflict that had been reported to the police.
Wu Ren was no stranger to Jiao Yayi, so he walked up to him and complained, "Master Jiao, you came at the right time."
Mrs. Qiao pointed at Su Chengmin and said, "Who killed my daughter-in-law? Lord Jiao, what are you talking about? Look, my daughter-in-law just gave birth to a child. She didn't even have time to rest for the confinement period when her aunt instigated her to divorce and take her home."
"My daughter-in-law had a few quarrels with my son a few days ago. There are always quarrels between husband and wife, so her aunt came to support her and wanted my daughter-in-law to divorce. As the saying goes, it is better to demolish a temple than to destroy a marriage. How could my son have such a daughter-in-law... wuwuwu..."
Qiao started to cry.
It is not normal for a young couple to quarrel, but it is really excessive to encourage them to divorce.
However, Jiao Yayi had dealt with Tong Huaqiong before, and he didn't believe that Tong Huaqiong was someone who couldn't tell right from wrong.
So Wu Ren asked, "Wuri Zheng, is your daughter-in-law giving birth to a son or a daughter this time?"
Tong Pandi struggled and said, "Master Jiao, the two babies were daughters. I was the one who initiated the divorce. I had to divorce in order to protect my two daughters. It has nothing to do with my aunt."
Jiao Yayi understood.
It’s all my son’s fault.
The Wu family wanted a son, but the daughter-in-law gave birth to two girls in a row. The Wu family was not happy and got a divorce.
According to him, Tong Pan's sister-in-law must divorce.
If she doesn't have a son, she can just try to have one. If she can't, she can just let the man take a concubine to have one.
He had seen women divorcing their wives because they couldn't give birth to a son, but this was the first time he had encountered a woman divorcing her husband because she couldn't give birth to a son.
Jiao Yayi looked at Tong Huaqiong and said with an embarrassed look: "County Sir, after all, this is the Wu family's family affair."
Tong Huaqiong interrupted Jiao Yayi and said, "Letting the midwife take the opportunity to kill the woman in labor is considered a family affair? If I hadn't come, my niece would have died."
Tong Huaqiong knew what Jiao Yayi was thinking without even having to think about it.
His thoughts represent the thoughts of most people of that era. Tong Pan'di's affairs belong to the Wu family's family affair. As long as no one is killed, outsiders and the government cannot interfere.
Even if the child was drowned like in the previous life, the government would not pursue the matter.
After all, it is a consensus of this era that girls' lives are worthless.
It is a serious illness for someone like Tong Pandi who is abused by her in-laws because she cannot give birth to a son and wants to divorce.
