248 Credibility
“That’s great, that’s great.” Li Hehua and Yu Hongyan held each other’s hands and were also very happy. They had been looking forward to having a pig at home. A family that could afford to raise pigs was something they always dreamed of being.
“Then our family will also know how to kill pigs during the new year!” Xue Wufu cheered. In the past, he was always envious when he saw other people killing pigs. In the future, it would be other people’s turn to be envious of his family!
The next day, Xue Sifu, Xue Erfu, and Xue Wufu would go to town to buy the cows and pigs. After confirming this, Xue Dafu and the others went to the fields. Because they had to buy cows and pigs at the same time, they were all in an extremely good mood.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan also went to see what they had planted on the five acres of land.
As for Chen Laoba, Zhang Meili, and Xue Zhuzi, they were all insignificant people, so they didn’t care about them at all.
…
This matter was settled with 66 silver. Their grandson had also been acknowledged. He had changed his surname to Chen and would be called Chen Zhuzi. Grandma Chen and Grandpa Chen were also very happy.
Zhang Meili naturally felt that she had come back to life, but when she saw the divorce letter that Chen Laoba brought back, she was unhappy. She immediately said to Chen Laoba as if it was a matter of course, “I definitely can’t go back to my mother’s house. They’ll eat me up if they see me. I have no other place to go. Chen Laoba, you have to take responsibility. Divorce my eldest sister and marry me. Otherwise, I won’t let you off!
“Why should I marry you? I’m going crazy!” Chen Laoba said immediately. In the past, he didn’t dare to say this. He was afraid that Zhang Meili would expose their affair, so he had to coax Zhang Meili. However, now that everyone knew about this, he didn’t pretend anymore. “You’re lazy and ugly, what do you have that I want?! Other than giving me a son, your big sister is better than you in every way! Why should I divorce your hardworking elder sister and marry a dead beat woman like you?”
Zhang Meili’s elder sister didn’t react at all. She was already disheartened by the news. One was her sister, the other was her man. Her heart had already died before Chen Laoba and the others could get the money to Xue Dagui.
However, Zhang Meili was so agitated that she started screaming, “If you don’t marry me, what should I do?! I gave birth to Zhuzi. I’m telling you, if I don’t have a way out, I’ll drag you down with me. Xue Dagui won’t report this to the authorities, but I can do it myself! If you have the ability, try it!”
If a person was really forced to the point where she had no way out, what couldn’t she do?
Chen Laoba was afraid that she would do this, so he took a step back. “I won’t divorce your sister, but you can stay at my house. If you don’t want to, you can go and report it to the authorities.”
If there was a way out, she would definitely not report it to the authorities. After all, she was afraid of death.
Sure enough, Zhang Meili said, “You said it, I’ll live in your house from now on! If you dare to chase me away, I’ll go to the authorities! If I’m going to die, we’ll die together!”
“Chen Laoba..”. Finally, Zhang Meili’s elder sister opened her mouth.
However, just as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Grandma Chen, “Didn’t I say you have no right to speak! You haven’t even given birth to a son yet Chen Laoba still refuses to divorce you. He’s already treating you quite well, what else do you want? In the future, you must also serve her well. No matter what, she gave birth to an heir, so her credit is greater than yours.”
“Yes, yes.” Zhang Meili immediately went along with it, feeling very proud of herself. Her days here will be much better than at Xue Dagui’s house, where she had no one to serve her.
For the first time, Zhang Meili’s elder sister ignored Grandma Chen and continued to talk to Chen Laoba, “You better divorce me.”
Grandma Chen and Chen Laoba were shocked.
