Song Yao called Han Pei in and poured her a glass of water. The mother and daughter hugged the water and drank it, as if they had not eaten for a few days.
“Yao, I’m sorry to disturb you so late at night.”
Seeing Han Pei’s pitiful look, Song Yao patted Han Pei’s shoulder and said, “I’m fine. But can you tell me what happened?”
Han Pei sniffed and cried, “Not long after you left, Daniu and his mother started to hit me. It’s fine if they hit me, but they even hit Zhaodi…’
After saying that, Han Pei lifted Zhaodi’s shriveled arm, revealing a large wound inside. Not to mention Song Yao, even Sun Hao’s heart ached when he saw it!
“How could this bastard do this to his own daughter!”
Song Yao patted Han Pei’s shoulder. “Continue.”
Han Pei wiped her tears and continued, “Daniu doesn’t want to live with me no matter what. He said that I’ve already brought a man home. I knelt down and told him that I didn’t, but Daniu didn’t believe anything I said. He directly slapped me with a vine and said that I couldn’t even give birth to a son. What’s the use of keeping me?”
“He clamored to divorce me and even wanted to marry Widow Wang in the village. He said that Widow Wang could give birth to a son, but I couldn’t…”
After Han Pei finished speaking, she cried bitterly. Song Yao patted her shoulder and comforted her. “You should have moved out of that place long ago! Do you want Daniu to beat you up for the rest of your life?”
“That’s right! Wouldn’t she be better off living alone than with such a man?!” Song Xiao followed his sister and said indignantly.
“But your husband shouldn’t be able to marry Widow Wang,” Song Xiao replied after thinking for a long time.
Han Pei wiped her tears. “Why?”
Song Xiao whispered, “Widow Wang is still thinking about Yu Yong! If your husband really marries Widow Wang, he’ll be cuckolded!”
“Boohoo, but he would rather have Widow Wang than me…” Han Pei cried even harder.
Song Yao sighed. Her brother was good at everything, but he had a bad temper and was direct with his words. She wondered if any girls would like him in the future.
She comforted Han Pei. “Don’t be too sad. But what’s wrong with a divorce? Didn’t I just get a divorce once?”
“Isn’t that so?” Sun Hao echoed. “Don’t think that a divorce is a big deal. I’m divorced too. My wife even ran away with someone else. Even the child isn’t mine! So what? Am I not living well now?”
Even though it had been a long time since the incident, Sun Hao still felt terrible when this matter was brought up again. However, the past was the past after all. One had to look forward, right?
Unexpectedly, when she heard this, Han Pei cried even louder. “No! I have to go back and find my man! Otherwise, if Aunt finds out about this, she’ll beat me to death!”
After Han Pei finished speaking, she shouted that she wanted to go back. When Aunt Liu saw her, she shouted, “Aunt will hit you, right? It was your aunt who sold you to this family? Isn’t this pushing you into a fire pit?”
“I don’t want to either, but my parents left early. If I don’t listen to Aunt, who will arrange a marriage for me?” Han Pei cried miserably. “Yao, I also want to get a divorce like you, but I have to have the conditions. When I married Daniu back then, Aunt received more than 1,800 yuan from his family. If I dare to run away, what will happen to the money?”
Wasn’t this blatantly abducting women?
Hearing this, not to mention Song Xiao, even Zuo Huo was very angry. He said lightly, “Then you can go to your village committee to sue for a divorce. Have you registered your marriage with your man before?”
Han Pei shook her head. “No.”
It was rare for country bumpkins to get a marriage certificate when they got married. In any case, they had been together for so many years. It did not matter if it was a piece of red paper. Moreover, Han Pei married early and was married to the Da Niu family at the age of 16. It had been seven to eight years.
“That’s easier. You can get a divorce directly by finding someone to be a witness at the village committee.”
“Why would I want a divorce?” Han Pei was unwilling again!
The divorce was too scary in the eyes of a rural woman who had never seen the world. She had been taught since she was young that women could only rely on men. If she really divorced a man, Han Pei really did not know how to continue living.
Song Yao’s face darkened. She had already tried to persuade her. Han Pei did not intend to get a divorce. What could she do?
“If you don’t want a divorce, go back and apologize to your man.. Perhaps your man Will give you a bite to eat on account of you giving birth to a daughter for her!
