Chapter 1533 Good Luck Continues (22)
After informing Li Qiuyun, Grandpa Li summoned the third branch of the family. The whole family gathered together and said that Li Qiuyun had found a way to return the 800 yuan. He would add another 100 yuan, so each family would receive 300 yuan. The second branch had already received their share, and now they would give another 300 yuan to the eldest branch's Li Zhiguo and the third branch's Uncle Li's family.

The third wife and Li Zhiguo, upon hearing what Grandpa Li said, looked at Li Qiuyun. Seeing Li Qiuyun's sour face, they wondered if she had really returned the money? Otherwise, why would she have such a sour face? That meant that her money hadn't been stolen before?
Forget it, whether her money was really stolen or not, as long as it's returned and they get their money back, that's fine.

So the matter was resolved smoothly.

Of course, this only appears to be a smooth resolution on the surface. If Li Zhiguo and his wife, as well as the third wife and their spouse, knew that Grandpa Li had added 500 yuan to resolve the issue, they would probably cause a scene.

Fortunately, Grandpa Li had already told Grandma Li that she had taken all his salary and that they had no money left. This was to prevent them from questioning the source of the 600 yuan that the first and third wives received when they divided the property in the future, in case they heard that he had no money. Otherwise, they might cause trouble again.

Grandma Li naturally had no objections; as long as there were no complications, she would have no objections.

However, like Li's father, she also had a lot of complaints about Li Qiuyun this time. After all, it was eight hundred yuan. How long had she saved up to earn eight hundred yuan? She gave it to Li Qiuyun, and Li Qiuyun threw it away. How could this child be so careless?
Leaving aside the fact that Grandma Li gave Li Qiuyun 800 yuan, and the trouble caused by the third wife and Li Zhiguo and his wife was finally resolved, let's just say that Li's father has now decided to divorce Li's mother.

Every time Li's father thought about the hundred yuan he gave to Grandpa Li, he felt displeased with Li's mother. He thought that if it weren't for the mother and daughter showing off for no reason and telling others that he had given them money, how could Grandpa Li have gotten that hundred yuan back from him? It caused their whole family to suffer. On the surface, they said they got three hundred yuan, but in reality, because Li Qiuyun lost the money, they not only got nothing, but they also lost another hundred yuan. So, all in all, it was four hundred yuan.

Adding the 100 yuan I gave to Linlang and her mother earlier, that makes 500 yuan.

The thought of losing five hundred yuan made Li's father unhappy, and he grew even more displeased with Li's mother. He felt that Ding Ping was better, since she listened to him in everything, unlike Li's mother. He had told her not to gossip outside, but she didn't listen and still talked nonsense, making it difficult for him to face others. His eldest daughter criticized him, and his nephew Li Zhiguo and his wife also had objections. After all, it had been agreed that Li Zhiguo would own half of his property, but he gave Linlang one hundred yuan, and then his father also objected, feeling that he shouldn't have given money to a married-out daughter. It was truly disgusting.

It would be better without Ding Ping's contrast, but with Ding Ping's comparison, it becomes clear that Li's mother is not likable.

So Li's father immediately used this as an excuse to start cursing Li's mother, saying that it was all her fault for revealing that he had given them money, causing him to lose four hundred yuan. He called her a spendthrift woman and said he wanted to divorce her.

Li's mother was also taken aback when Li's father took the initiative to say that he wanted a divorce. She was stunned for a moment, but then she was overjoyed. After all, it was best that she didn't have to bring up the topic of divorce.

You see, lately she has been dreaming about her and her daughter's tragic end every now and then. She actually can't wait to leave, but her father hasn't brought up the divorce. She's afraid that if she does, her father will keep harassing her.

It's important to understand that while divorce does occur these days, it's still rare, even in a major city like the capital. People are generally embarrassed to bring up divorce.

Now that Mr. Li has brought up divorce first, Mrs. Li is naturally happy.

But in order not to show it, lest her father think she wanted a divorce and then hesitate and not intend to divorce her, her mother was stunned for a moment before she started wailing and crying: "I'm so old, and I've been with you for so many years, and you actually want to divorce me? Don't you have any conscience?!"

Knowing that Li's mother would disagree with his proposal of divorce, Li's father angrily retorted, "Didn't you swear before that you wanted a divorce? Now that I've granted your wish, why are you unhappy now?!"

Li's mother feigned sadness and said, "I was just joking when I was angry that time, I wasn't serious."

Mr. Li said, "I don't care if you're telling the truth or not. Anyway, you've said it, and I agree now." Mrs. Li jumped up and said, "I don't agree. My salary is too low to support myself. If you insist on getting a divorce, you have to give me five hundred yuan to settle down. Otherwise, I won't get a divorce."

Li's mother asked for 500 yuan, but in reality, she would have agreed to the divorce if Li's father had given her 400 yuan. Asking for 500 yuan was just to make it easier to negotiate.

They said it would cost four hundred yuan; this was the result of a discussion between Li's mother and Linlang.

As far as Linlang knew, Li's father had a high salary, so he had saved about 1,500 yuan. Even if Li Qiuyun was planning to take a son-in-law as her husband, and Linlang didn't, Linlang could still take half of Li Qiuyun's money. In that case, Linlang could get 500 yuan.

I've already taken 100 yuan from Li's father, so I can take another 400 yuan.

As for Li Zhiguo, he was naturally not within Linlang's consideration.

Li Zhiguo is not Li's father's son, so why should he share Li's father's property? Li's father pitied him because his father died and his mother remarried, and he raised him. That's already enough. To want to share Li's father's property is really greedy. Linlang naturally wouldn't consider him.

When Li's mother said she would only agree to a divorce if she demanded 500 yuan, Li's father couldn't help but laugh in anger, saying, "Well, now your true colors are showing, all you care about is money!"

Li's mother said, "Yes, I'm not doing this right, so you should just give me the money and divorce me. After all, you don't care about money. Giving me five hundred yuan shouldn't be a big deal, right?"

Mr. Li naturally didn't want to give money, but if he didn't, Mrs. Li refused to leave him no matter what.

If Li's mother doesn't divorce him, this matter will continue indefinitely, and the Li family will become the talk of the town again, which is not what Li's father wants.

But he couldn't kill Li's mother, because if he were discovered, his good days would be over.

Li's father wanted to replace Li's mother and be with his new partner, and in the end, he naturally compromised as Linlang had planned.

Of course, just as Linlang expected, she only received four hundred yuan, not the five hundred yuan that Li's mother had mentioned.

Actually, Mr. Li originally planned to give only 200 yuan, but Ms. Li said she was unwilling to divorce if it was less than 400 yuan.

Mr. Li really didn't want to continue arguing with Mrs. Li, so he finally agreed.

Having reached an agreement, the two quickly obtained their divorce certificates, and Li's mother moved her belongings to a house that Linlang had already chosen for her.
