Chapter 26 Divorce
When Li Liang invited Shen Dashan back, the yard was already empty, leaving only wooden boards on the ground.

He brought Shen Dashan into the house before he went to call the village doctor. No matter what he said, his brother was beaten, so it's better to call the village doctor to take a look.

Shen Dashan looked at the pale old man lying on the bed and asked, "I don't know what Brother Li wants from me."

"I'm in trouble." Old man Li looked at Shen Dashan and managed to squeeze out a smile that was uglier than crying. This was his last decency. He was always good-faced, but now he has become like this.

Shen Dashan didn't feel pitiful when he looked at him, he must be the clearest about Mrs. Wang's nature, who can be blamed now that she is like this.

Although he was thinking about it in his heart, he just nodded his head and said in a friendly manner: "There is no trouble, Brother Li, just talk about it if you have something to do."

"Cough cough cough."

"Mr. Liu, bring a pen and paper." After coughing a few times, old man Li looked at his young daughter-in-law and waved.

Liu Hui watched her father-in-law respond before going to get the pen and paper she had prepared.

"Lizheng, all these years, it's my lax housekeeping that made Mrs. Wang make so many jokes, and even brought our girls in Lihua Village into bad reputation."

Old man Li felt a little pain in his right leg as he spoke, but he continued, "I'm sorry for the people in the village. I invited you here because I want you to write a letter of divorce for me."

Shen Dashan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He also knew about the Li family's affairs just now. His eldest daughter-in-law Zhou went back and told him after hearing the letter. When Li Liang came to invite him, he only thought that they wanted to sue him. For Lin girl's condition, she even thought about her words along the way.

In the end, old man Li actually wanted to divorce the Wang family?

"This..." Although Shen Dashan inevitably had some guesses in his heart, he did not dare to make a conclusion, after all, it was not his turn to say anything about the Li family's family affairs.

Old man Li's eyes were slightly absent, as if he was recalling something, until the labor pain from his right leg became more and more intense, and he came back to his senses: "I'm going to divorce Mrs. Wang."

"For more than 30 years, in the end, in the end, I turned out to be..."

Thinking of his own safety in his wife's eyes, even three liang of silver was worthless, old man Li seemed to have some tears welling up in his eyes, but he didn't say any more.

It wasn't until the next day when Nanzhi packed up his things and was going to take the dog to pick up chestnuts on Dongshan Mountain that he found out about it from Aunt Liu and the others.

Lihua Village hasn't divorced a wife for decades, let alone old man Li and Mrs. Wang's age.

Coupled with the things that Mrs. Wang did in the past, once the news of old man Li's divorce from his wife became a household name.

"Retired?"

Nanzhi looked at Mrs. Liu and couldn't believe it. This old man Li and Mrs. Wang have been together for decades. In the past, he didn't have to discipline Mrs. Wang for those absurd things. Paper break?
"Yeah, I also said it was weird." Aunt Liu also felt strange, and said that when Mrs. Wang forced her own daughter to death, Old Man Li didn't say he wanted to divorce his wife, but now he did it all of a sudden.

"I heard it was because the old man Li was poisoned by a snake, and he needed money to heal his legs. Three taels of silver, but the old lady Wang didn't give it."

Aunt Osmanthus, who was with Nanzhi and the others, also started to gossip after hearing what they said, and quickly told the latest news she knew.

"Really?" Aunt Liu looked at Aunt Osmanthus and asked: "The Li family said that because of the previous incident, didn't they all get 15 taels of silver? They added 25 taels back and forth. Can't even take out two coins?"

Aunt Osmanthus quietly looked around, and after confirming that there was no one from the Li family, she continued: "My nephew saw it with his own eyes! He went to run errands in Jishitang yesterday, and happened to meet the whole family of the Li family, and the doctor in Jishitang said Well, three taels of silver can keep your legs, but the old woman not only refused to give it, but also pissed off there, saying that the black heart is just to cheat the money."

"Fortunately, the doctor from Jishitang gave the needle for free, otherwise Old Man Li might not be able to make it back."

Several people around also heard this, and sighed for a while, this old man Li is half buried in the soil, and he has suffered such a crime when he is old.

"Maybe the family eats meat all the time, or the money will be used up?"

A woman joked that even her family could afford to pay three taels of silver, but Mrs. Wang just deducted it, if you say that it is fine to deduct a few on weekdays, it is really strange that people don't even pay for such things now.

"If her family eats meat every day, that stone will still run to grab the dog's wild eggs? Isn't it, Lin girl."

Nan Zhi, who was originally happy to listen to gossip, was suddenly called on by name, and just nodded with a smirk.

"Let me tell you, Miss Lin, your natal family has two such powerful elder brothers, why didn't you call them over earlier, why would you need to be bullied by Mrs. Wu?"

Aunt Osmanthus looked at the silly Nan Zhi and said with a disapproving expression. In the past, they thought that Nan Zhi’s natal family had no backing to live in such a way. Even if the dough is kneaded, she just feels that she is not up to date.

As long as her temper is tougher, even her dog will be less bullied by stones.

"..." Nanzhi didn't know how to explain for herself, because what Yuanzheng did before made her feel aggrieved.

Can only keep silent.

"If you want me to tell you, it's good that you looked like yesterday, but now you live alone with the dog, if you don't get too hard, others will treat you as a soft persimmon."

Aunt Liu nodded in agreement, especially in this bad time, when people tend to be soft-tempered, they might be bullied in the future, especially a beautiful young widow like Nanzhi.

"I protect A Niang." Gou'er was a little unhappy when he heard what they said. He is a man and he can protect A Niang.

Thinking about it, he put on a small face in displeasure, and everyone who saw it burst into laughter.

"Yes, yes, our dog can protect your mother." Aunt Liu smiled and looked at the dog. This little guy is indeed a sensible and filial doll.

Aunt Osmanthus looked at the dog with a loving face, and said coaxingly, "Then you should eat more and grow as strong as your uncles."

Gou'er thought about the appearance of the two uncles, and then nodded seriously, "Yes!"

The group arrived at the chestnut forest chatting and laughing, where some people who had gone up the mountain early were already busy.

Nan Zhi looked at the chestnut shells piled up everywhere in the forest, thoughtfully.

"Girl, what are you thinking, follow up quickly, let's go a little further in, there are no chestnuts outside, let's go in more."

Aunt Liu looked at Nanzhi in a daze and urged.

Although the chestnut grove is big, it can't support the crowds in the village. I'm afraid that in two days, all the chestnuts here will be picked up, and if you want to pick them up again, you have to wait for the ripe ones to fall off the trees.

If they move faster, they can pick up some more and put them away. After all, there are many lazy people in the village.

"Hey, here we come."

After agreeing, Nanzhi followed them with the dog again.

The chestnut trees grow taller as you go in, and there are more people picking chestnuts here than there just now.

But for some reason, Nan Zhi suddenly panicked for no reason.

As a result, Mrs. Liu and the others filled a basket full of chestnuts all morning, and she had just filled half of it.
