The Girl Who Dared to Blossom

CHAPTER 13

Xiumei wept sadly as she detailed all the problems she had suffered over the years in theShufen Family.

She was truly harmed.

The old Village Chief was also Jingfen, and he didn't want to blow things out of proportion, "Yangyang Shufen, you can't just go around saying things like that. You claim Yangyang's dad has someone else on the side. Do you have any evidence? This couple and their daily life, bumps on the road are normal. Don't mention divorce at every turn, it can hurt people!"

Upon hearing this, Xiumei felt a chill in her heart.

It seemed the old Village Chief wasn't going to help her.

Just when she was about to give up, Mingyue looked at her, signalling with her eyes that she should continue speaking.

Xiumei seemed encouraged, wept even more miserably, "Village Chief, I know you share the same last name as the old Shufen Family! But you can't favour Yongqiang just because of that! You are the Village Chief, the most respected person in this village. If even you won't stand up for me, who else can I turn to? My three discarded children and the fact that Yongqiang got another woman pregnant are not false! Look, that shameless woman is right here!"

Women are weak, but moms are strong.

On any other day, Xiumei would never have dared to say such things, but today was different.

Because she knew that if they continued to stay in the Shufen Family, they, the mother and daughter trio, would be doomed.

The Village Chief flinched at her words.

The city officials were still standing behind him! Xiumei was putting such a big hat on him, could he bear it?

The old Village Chief quickly helped Xiumei up, with a kind smile on his face, "Yangyang Shufen, don't worry! I'm not the kind of person who covers up for his own kin. I will deal with this matter impartially!"

Upon hearing this, Xiumei was so moved, she cried, "Thank you, Village Chief! Thank you, Village Chief!"

Yongqiang wasn't happy, he stopped referring to the Village Chief by his title, "Uncle, don't just listen to this woman's ramblings! She's spouting nonsense! Show me the law that says I can't beat my own mother-in-law and daughter? If you've nothing else, I suggest you go back. Next time, I will bring some meat for you as a token of respect."

The old Village Chief had enjoyed a lot of meat from Yongqiang, or else Yongqiang wouldn't have dared to blatantly bring Yilin back home.

Upon hearing this, the old Village Chief's face darkened, "Yongqiang, you clearly know what you've done! Now Comrade Xiumei wants to divorce you. I'll approve of it! After all, you guys never even had a marriage certificate. I'll give you a proof, you come over to press your fingerprints, and then you sever ties! No more dealings with each other!"

This Yongqiang really dares to say anything!

If he continued this way, he would no longer be the Village Chief!

Yongqiang looked at the Village Chief blankly, somewhat confused. The Village Chief who had always been on his side was suddenly on Xiumei's side today!

Divorcing was impossible for him!

Mingyue Could be sold for a good price now, and Xiumei was like the old ox at home!

If he lost these two people, it would be a huge loss for the Shufen Family!

"I won't divorce! Why should I divorce?! Even if you beat me to death, I won't divorce!" Yongqiang started acting like a rogue.

The old Lady Shufen also played rogue and laid down on the ground, "Want a divorce? Not unless you step over my corpse!"

"Alright, don't want to divorce? Then we'll just call the police!" Suddenly, the man in the suit spoke up. Then he turned to his helper, "Xiaozhao, tell Comrade Yongqiang what the consequences would be if he refuses to divorce."

Xiaozhao stepped forward and said, "Based on the evidence we have at the moment, Comrade Yongqiang is suspected of attempted Shufenrder and intentional homicide! If these charges are added up, he could be shot!"

It's a crack time now, and the fear of death is not a joke.

Yongqiang turned pale, "Who the hell are you! Just because you say I killed, that means I did!"

The old Village Chief replied angrily, "You better shut up! This man is the assistant to the Secretary of the Shufennicipal Party Committee!"

The helper to the Secretary of the Shufennicipal Party Committee?

Why on earth would the assistant to the Secretary of theShufennicipal Party Committee be here?

Xiaozhao was the secretary's helper, and the man who was talking to Xiaozhao was Yao Wei, the secretary himself.

Yao Wei was sent by Zhou Changzheng.

Because Zhou Changzheng was badly hurt, they could only send Yao Wei to make the trip.

Yongqiang shuddered in fear, "Uncle, please, don't joke with me."

What on earth could the secretary of the local party committee be doing in their dirt-poor village?

Before the Village Chief could speak, Xiaozhao continued: "Yongqiang, you were just about to attack your daughter with an axe. If it wasn't for the timely intervention of Village ChiefShufen, your daughter would be dead. That's attemptedShufenrder, and we're all witnesses. Plus, the three children you abandoned all died unnaturally. That's deliberateShufenrder, and Xiumei is the witness. As for the affair, Comrade Yilin is pregnant. Need I say more?"

Hearing this, Yilin was frightened, cold sweat running down her temples.

If they really reported him, Yongqiang wouldn't be the only one put to death by firing squad.

She would be a partner.

The old Village Chief continued: "Yongqiang, think about it carefully. Would you rather be shot, or get a divorce?"

Mrs.Shufen was startled, and quickly stood up from the ground, "Divorce! Jinbao, we'll get a divorce!"

At this point, of course, life was more important.

Furthermore, if they separated, the one to suffer would be Xiumei.

She's a woman, and she would have no choice but to starve out there!

When that time comes, Xiumei will regret it.

Yongqiang was scared out of his wits, death by firing squad! How could he not be afraid?

"Okay, mom, I'll listen to you."

The old Village Chief finally relaxed, continuing: "Now that you've decided to divorce, I'll issue you a divorce certificate."

Although Xiumei and Yongqiang hadn't gotten their marriage paperwork, the two had lived together for so long and had two children.

To escape any future problems, a licence was necessary.

Mingyue stepped forward at the right time, "My sister and I want to go with mom."

Xiumei finally came to her senses, "Right! The two kids are coming with me!"

"No! I don't agree!" Mrs.Shufen said angrily, "These two children are from the Shufen Family! Why should they go with that slut Xiumei!"

The old Village Chief continued: "Madam, currently Yongqiang is the one at fault, he has no right to the children! We Shufenst respect Comrade Xiumei and the children's opinions."

"No! The children belong to ourShufen Family! If that slut Xiumei wants to leave, let her leave by herself! She won't take anything from ourShufen Family!"

At this time, Yao Wei kept speaking.

"Xiaozhao, we should call the police, let theShufenrderer taste the bullet!"

Old Mrs.Shufen's face went white, and she was quickly silent.

The Old Village Chief finished the certificate and put the village's official seal on it, "Xiumei, Yongqiang, you two pressed your fingerprints. Once these are pressed, you two will have no relation at all."

Xiumei pressed her fingerprint without doubt!

Yongqiang was unwilling to press, but thinking his life was at stake, he still pressed it.

This divorce paper had three copies, two for Xiumei and Yongqiang, and one for the village to keep.

After hitting the fingerprint, Xiumei went to the room to take the children out.

Mingyuebowed to the Village Chief and Yao Wei, "Secretary, Chief, thank you for today!"

The Village Chief laughed awkwardly, not knowing if he could still keep his post after today.

Yao Wei smiled and said: "If an official doesn't serve the people, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes, this is what should be done."
