Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Liu Siyue and Liu Ruyun took Yao'er to the house to sleep, while the others sat together chatting. As they were talking, they heard a commotion in the courtyard. Feng Dazhi went out to see what was going on and found that it was the village chief and clan head of Hujia Village, as well as Hu Tiecheng and his parents.

When the Feng family saw them arrive, they ignored them and sat down to wait. When Village Chief Hu saw that the Feng family was giving them the cold shoulder, he felt that he had lost face. After all, he was the head of a village.

Hu Baishun helped his father out of the car. "Village chief, Dad, please wait here. I'll go in and tell them."

"The elders of the Feng family and the heads of the Hu family are all here. Where shall we discuss this?"

"Let's just put it in the courtyard. Our house is too small to fit a large Buddha statue."

As soon as Feng Daqiang saw Hu Tiecheng, he was furious. He took a few steps to Hu Tiecheng, grabbed him by the chest and started beating him. Hu Tiecheng cried out, "Father-in-law, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me! Parents, save me!"

The Hu family separated the two. Feng Daqiang pointed at Hu Tiecheng and said, "You son of a bitch, what did you say when you went to my daughter's house? Not only did you try to steal my tofu, but you also hit my daughter. You've really spoiled her."

Hu Tiecheng was so frightened that he quickly hid behind his parents, not daring to show his head. "In-laws, let's talk things out. Why did you have to resort to violence? Do you really think the Hu family is easy to bully?"

"I wouldn't dare say that. Do you agree to the conditions I've proposed? If you do, we'll write the paperwork immediately; if you don't, we'll report it to the authorities."

The village chief of Hu's village quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Feng Daqiang, it is said that even an upright official finds it hard to settle family disputes. Don't be so aggressive. I think we should invite your village chief over so that everyone can sit down and discuss things properly. Don't hurt the harmony. How can the neighbors get along if you make such a scene? How can the children live their lives?"

"Jin Cheng, go and return the oxcart to Village Chief Feng. Also, invite him over and tell him I've arrived."

A little while later, Village Chief Feng arrived with Hu Jincheng. Upon seeing Village Chief Hu, Village Chief Feng said, "Old Hu, your Hu Family Village is going too far! Coming to our village to rob us, do you think we're easy to bully because we're small in number?"

"Old Feng, what are you saying? It's all a misunderstanding. I only just found out about it myself."

"A misunderstanding, a misunderstanding can lead to someone kicking down another's door."

"I'm not going to say anything more. Feng Daqiang's family is very difficult to communicate with. How do you think this matter should be resolved? Let's find a place to discuss it. Give me some face, don't hurt the harmony between the two villages, and don't break up the children's marriage."

"I can connect you two and you can talk it over. Others have forgotten that you're in the wrong this time, and they'll sue you without hesitation."

Village Chief Feng acted as a mediator, inviting the heads of both families to sit down in the main room. Feng Daqiang immediately asked, "Do you agree to the three conditions I proposed?"

"My dear in-law, please stop saying such hurtful things. You've already hit and scolded Tiecheng, how can you let the two children divorce? Besides, they already have two children, both still so young. How can you bear to do this?"

They say it's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. The two children still have feelings for each other; it's just a small argument between the couple. Let's not take it too seriously. We'll take Hongmei back, and Tiecheng will treat her well from now on. If he hits Hongmei again, you can deal with it yourselves.

"It's too late. Hongmei is determined to divorce, and we agree. Rather than living in a home with such malicious intentions, it's better to go home. It's not like we can't afford to support her."

"Father-in-law, I don't agree to a divorce, and Hongmei definitely won't agree either. How could she abandon me and the child? You must be trying to break us up. I want to see Hongmei."

"Okay, I'll have Hongmei tell you herself. Go and call Hongmei over."

Bai Shuixian brought Hongmei over. Hu Tiecheng became very excited when he saw Hongmei and stepped forward to grab her hand, but Hongmei dodged to the side. "Hu Tiecheng, I'm telling you clearly now, I want a divorce from you, a divorce from you, do you understand?"

"Hongmei, don't you want me and the children anymore? They're so young, they can't live without their mother, how can you be so heartless?"

"I'm taking my child with me, why would I leave him with you?"

"That's a member of the Hu family, how could we let you take him away? We're in the right no matter where you look at it."

"Father, I've said my piece. If they don't agree, then we'll report it to the authorities."

"Hongmei, don't even think about taking the child away. I don't agree to a divorce, I don't agree."

"Since there's no room for negotiation, let's not waste any more time. Everyone who came this morning, every single one of them, will be handed over to the authorities."

The clan chief and village chief immediately became anxious upon hearing this, shouting, "Hu Tiecheng, shut up!"

Brother Daqiang, is there really no room for compromise? Not even the slightest chance?

"Village Chief Hu, Clan Chief, you just saw that Hongmei's attitude was very firm. Moreover, this is not the first time that Hu Tiecheng has hit people. Hongmei didn't say anything when she came back. She endured it all for the sake of peace in the family. If it weren't for her fourth uncle finding out this time, who knows how long she would have kept it a secret."

A divorce is a must, there's no room for negotiation. The child can't go to Hongmei either. Since you despise her in every way, then let your son marry someone better.

We'll go out and discuss it, and then we'll give you an answer.

Village Chief Hu, the clan chief, and Hu Tiecheng's parents came out of the main room and discussed things in the courtyard. Then they heard Hu Tiecheng's hysterical roar, "It's all your fault! You made me force Hongmei to ask her family for benefits again and again, saying it was all for the sake of this family and our future. But I think you only said it was for your own sake, and you made me lose my good wife."

Hu Tiecheng squatted on the ground in pain, constantly grabbing his hair with both hands. The village chief and clan chief tried to persuade him, "Tiecheng, things have come to this point, there's no use blaming anyone. You can't let the lives of more than twenty people in the village be ruined because of yourself."

"Tiecheng, don't worry. After she leaves, I'll find you someone even better. You can't just stand by and watch your older brothers go to jail, can you? So please agree."

"Your parents are begging you, you can't just watch this family fall apart."

After they reached an agreement, they returned to the main room. "Brother Daqiang, Tiecheng has agreed to the divorce, but he can only give you the girl. The boy is a member of the Hu family, so it's impossible for him to be given to you. Even if we take this to the county magistrate, we can stand our ground."

"Alright, I'll agree to it, but the child must sever all ties with the Hu family and have no further involvement with them."

"Fine, let's cut ties then. He's just a money-loser."

"Village Chief Feng, I'd like to trouble you to write the divorce papers and the severance of ties."

"No problem, I'll go back and get paper and pen right away."

"Village chief, please sit down. I'll have Wulang go get it; he's fast."

Feng Daqiang shouted out and gave instructions. Wulang ran off like the wind and returned a while later, panting, with paper and pen in hand. Village Chief Feng took the paper and pen, put the inkstone down, and began to grind the ink.

The moment he put pen to paper the words "divorce agreement," he felt a sense of heaviness. It had been so many years since he had written such a thing. After writing the divorce agreement, he would write the severance of ties agreement. Once both parties had reviewed it and agreed that there were no problems, they would sign and put their fingerprints on it, and the matter would be considered settled.

Feng Daqiang handed the two documents to his wife, "Give me the compensation money today as well, a total of 10 taels and 420 cash."

Upon hearing that money was required, Hu's mother's eyes widened in shock. "What? We've already agreed to the divorce papers and the severance of ties! You still want money? You're dreaming! We have no money, but you can take my life!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't give it to me. I'll send those people to jail. Do you think those people are more important, or the money?"

"My God, this is driving us to our deaths! I can't live anymore!"

"If you're going to throw a tantrum, get out of here and stop bothering my kids." Feng Daqiang was utterly rude.
