Chapter 1123: Divorced
Chapter 1123: Divorced
In order not to disturb Gu Xiaoxi and Chang Yaya’s rest, Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan were the first to leave the courtyard. They spoke directly at the entrance.
Before Chief Zhou could speak, Zhou Jingui had already pulled Hong Xiaoni and rushed to Gu Yundong.
“Miss Gu, what is the meaning of this? Our Xiaoni is returning to her own home. It’s fine if you don’t let her in, but you don’t appreciate her kindness and even hit her when she sent food to you. Do you think there’s no one left in our Zhou family?”
Gu Yundong looked at him coldly.
It was this old thing who brought people to severely injure his uncle. How dare he criticize him?
Chief Zhou also spoke, “Lady Gu, you must give us an explanation.”
“Explain? Sure, because of her.” Gu Yundong pointed at Hong Xiaoni, who was standing behind Zhou Jingui. “She humiliated me and took advantage of me.”
Everyone was speechless.
“How did she humiliate you?”
“My uncle has already divorced her, but she still said that she’s my aunt and kept calling me niece. If this isn’t humiliation, what is? I’m about the same age as her, but she insists on demoting me by a generation. If she’s not taking advantage of me, what is?”
Zhou Jingui was furious. “Divorce? What right does Gu Xiaoxi have to divorce her? I don’t agree.”
“Why do you think? A person who has been married to her husband for two years has yet to consummate her marriage with him. I don’t know what he’s planning. Shouldn’t my uncle divorce such a person?”
Everyone was in an uproar. No, it couldn’t be. Gu Xiaoxi had never touched this Hong Xiaoni?
Even Chief Zhou didn’t know about this. He looked at Hong Xiaoni, whose face was red and swollen, in surprise.
Chief Chang came over at this moment. As soon as he approached, he laughed loudly. “Brother Zhou, this is your fault. We’re all men. Isn’t marrying a wife for the sake of companionship and children? Xiaoxi works himself to death every day. After doing the work in the field, he does the house chores and serves his wife like an ancestor. In the end, she actually doesn’t let anyone touch her. If it were you, you would probably have chased such a wife home long ago, right? You can’t possibly think that she’s not wrong when it comes to your niece, right?”
Zhou Jingui gritted his teeth in anger. This old man had come at the right time.
Hong Xiaoni didn’t expect Gu Xiaoxi to tell her niece about this. Didn’t he feel ashamed?
She quickly defended herself. “That’s because, because I’m not in good health, so…”
“If you’re not in good health, then you’ve committed one of the seven ailments. It’s time to divorce.”
“I-I-I’m fine now.”
“I said that I know medicine. I’m only better than the doctors in your village. I can take your pulse and see if you’re fine. I can also see what illness you had in the past. Why did you not recover for two years? Why did you recover at this time?”
Hong Xiaoni immediately retreated.
Gu Yundong sneered. “Why are you hiding? Are you feeling guilty? I think you’re just a woman with bad intentions and a heart of evil. Certainly you should be divorced.”
Everyone’s ears buzzed when they heard this. This woman was so eloquent. The problem was different from the quarrels of the women in the village. Her articulation was so clear that no one could refute her.
At least Chief Zhou left while Chief Chang gloated over his misfortune.
Zhou Jingui could not argue with Gu Yundong, so he could only lead Hong Xiaoni away in a hurry.
Chief Chang laughed. “Lady Gu’s words hit the nail on the head. I’m impressed.”
Shao Qingyuan patted Patriarch Chang. “We’re tired. We’ll go back and rest first. We won’t entertain Patriarch Chang anymore.”
