Chapter 396: Divorce
Chapter 396 Divorce
When Master Shao and Zou Xiancheng heard this, they were both shocked... What did County Magistrate Xu mean by this? Could it be that he wanted to replace Zou Xian Cheng and take away Zou Xian Cheng's official position?
Master Shao and Zou Xiancheng looked at each other and felt that this was most likely what County Magistrate Xu meant.
The Prime Minister of Zouxian County swallowed the blood that poured into his mouth and said to County Magistrate Xu: "Don't worry, sir. I just have a minor illness. I just need to rest for two days. It's not serious. I can go back to the county government the day after tomorrow to do errands." "
County Magistrate Xu did not want to replace Zou County Cheng, but just warned him not to cause trouble for him. Hearing this, he waved his hand and said: "Zou County Cheng, please go back to recover in peace."
Zou Xiancheng saw this and said nothing. He was supported by Master Zou Jiang and Shao and walked towards the gate of the county government office.
Seeing that Zou County Cheng was about to leave, Lu Hehua became anxious and shouted: "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, you can't leave, we will be put in prison if you leave!"
Lu Hehua, his son and two daughters followed him and cried: "Uncle, uncle, help me, we don't want to be put in prison, we don't want to be slaves, wuwuwu..."
Lu Hehua's man, Niu Chengwu, said nothing, staring at Lu Hehua and Mr. Lu with a heavy expression on his face. He didn't know what he was thinking.
Master Cao couldn't bear the shouting. He turned around and kicked Lu Hehua, and said angrily: "Brother-in-law and uncle, Lu Meihua is just my master's concubine. Don't mistake your relatives here."
Lu Hehua was kicked down and fell to the ground with a scream. When she got up, Zou County Cheng had already been helped away by Zou Jiang and Master Shao.
Lu Hehua was so angry that she cursed Zou Xiancheng half to death in her heart.
County Magistrate Xu was troubled by the family's commotion and said to Team Leader Yang: "Come on, take them to the cell and wait until they are punished."
“Yes.” Class leader Yang led Luo Wu and others forward and pulled up Mr. Lu and his family who were kneeling on the ground.
"Sir, wait!" Niu Chengwu suddenly shouted: "My lord, County Magistrate, Lu Hehua is greedy and cunning. He has disrespected his parents-in-law for many years and concealed the crime of being a runaway slave from the Niu family. The common people disdain to be married to this woman again. Please bear witness." , the common people want to divorce their wives in court and cut off their ties with the Lu family!"
With that said, he pulled up the hem of his own clothes, bit out a gash, then hissed, tore the hem in half and threw it on Lu Hehua's head.
Lu Hehua was stunned, jumped up and shouted: "Niu Chengwu, you ungrateful thing, you have no ability. Seeing that my Lu family is in trouble, you divorce your wife in court. Do you have any conscience? You still have children, I am the biological mother of three children. If you divorce me, what will you do with the three children?"
Niu Chengwu sneered: "Anyway, you look down on the Niu family. You have long been looking forward to leaving the Niu family so that you can marry a rich family. Now, for the sake of our marriage, I will help you. You should be grateful to me."
"As for the children..." Niu Chengwu looked at his son and two daughters and said, "Who wants them to deal with a mother like you? As a father, I can't protect them even if I want to."
Widow Yu already had his seed in her belly. According to Widow Yu, it was probably a son. He was worried about how to tell Lu Hehua to let Widow Yu in. Now there is no need to worry, just divorce the shrew Lu Hehua, and he can live with Widow Yu.
Lu Hehua looked down on the Niu family and had never had a good look towards Niu Chengwu since they got married. She thought that with the Zou family here, she could manipulate Niu Chengwu for the rest of her life. Now that she heard that Niu Chengwu wanted to divorce his wife and not even have children, she was so angry. He couldn't catch his breath and passed out immediately.
“Mother, mother, what’s wrong with you? Wake up quickly.” Lu Hehua’s son and two daughters rushed over and cried around her.
After Lu Guihua's man Yao Minghui heard Niu Chengwu's words, he immediately said to County Magistrate Xu, as if he had opened up the two channels of Ren and Governor: "My lord, please bear witness to the students. The students did not know that the Lu family was a runaway slave. Now suddenly After hearing this, I feel deeply ashamed and do not want to associate with the Lu family. I ask you to testify that the student will divorce his wife in front of the court!"
Xu County Magistrate had a headache, why did he come to divorce his wife in public? Lu Guihua was stunned when she heard this and looked at Yao Minghui in disbelief: "Ms. sir, you, you actually want to divorce me?"
Lu Guihua has always felt that Yao Minghui is good to her. Yao Minghui is a scholar. Although he has never passed the exam for most of his life, because he is the head of the family and she has a dowry from the Lu family, life at home is very easy. .
She thought that even if her father was a runaway slave, with her husband's level of love, he would spend money to redeem her and live a good life in the future.
Why, why have you come to the point of divorcing your wife?
Yao Minghui said: "Osmanthus, don't blame me. I will take the imperial examination in the future. If I marry the daughter of a runaway slave and have a runaway slave father-in-law, how will I be able to gain a foothold in the scholarly community in the future? I will be laughed at by the scholars." For the sake of our relationship as a couple, don't blame me... As for the children, I will go back and discuss it with my father... If we can buy it, my family will buy back the two sons."
As for Lu Guihua, he did not intend to buy her back, but wanted to marry another girl from an innocent family background.
Lu Guihua was completely confused.
Lu Lao Er and Lu Lao Er were very angry and shouted at Yao Minghui: "Yao, you abandoned your wife and children when the Lu family was in trouble. You are not a scholar in vain, you are a polite scum!"
Yao Minghui didn't think there was anything wrong with what he did, and retorted: "It was your Lu family who deceived my Yao family first, and it's also my Yao family who have good intentions. Otherwise, I could sue your Lu family for marriage fraud!"
His Yao family married a girl from the Lu family, a good citizen, not a daughter from the Lu family, a runaway slave. There was a big difference between the two.
bang!
Magistrate Xu slapped the gavel and said angrily: "That's enough. If you want to divorce your wife, go back and write a letter of divorce. If you continue to make trouble here, I will put you both in jail and withdraw from the court!"
Xu County Magistrate was so angry that he walked away. Yang Bantou immediately took all the Lu family members to the prison.
Although the two daughters-in-law of the Lu family were crying, they were already thinking about how to send a message to their parents' families and ask someone from their parents' families to come and make peace with the Lu family.
Yao Minghui and Niu Chengwu were anxious to clear up their relationship with the Lu family. As soon as they left the Yamen, they went to the bookstore, bought pens, ink, paper and inkstones, wrote two letters of divorce on the spot, and sent them directly to the county government office. After stamping the county government seal, they sent them to Go to jail and give it to the Lu family.
Boss Lu looked at the two divorce letters that had been stamped with the county government seal, and he was so angry that he almost fainted.
Before they could judge whether the Lu family were runaway slaves, these two ungrateful dogs just wrote a letter of divorce and stamped it with the county government seal. The matter was settled. The Lu family couldn't object even if they wanted to.
Yao Minghui is a scholar, but he still has a lot of face. After giving the Lu family a letter of divorce, he went to the county government office and asked Master Tian: "Master Tian, can I buy back my two sons?"
After all, both of them are born with a handle, and he is already nearly forty years old. He wants to be born again, and he doesn’t know if he can still give birth to a son, so the two sons must be redeemed.
