Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space

Chapter 1205: Settlement

Since it’s over, let’s make a clean break."You have no place to stay in Li Family Village, don’t end up arguing every day because of this."

"I’m already divorced, of course I’ll go back to Liu Family Village. You think I really want to stay here."

Actually, she was thinking about moving to the city with her son.

Liu Dazhi really couldn’t listen anymore. "Lanzi, you need to know, our Liu Family Village isn’t as good as Li Family Village."

"Hmph, when I got married, I didn’t dislike Li Family Village for being poor, and now I won’t stick around just because it’s gotten better."

No one said anything now. She clearly had major issues with this place.

Liu Dazhi was really angry, good advice is hard to offer to someone who doesn’t want it.

Li Yunqiang returned to the room again, taking out a small cloth bag. He pulled out money and counted out five hundred yuan, setting it aside.

"Your Liu Cuilan works for two hundred days a year, do you want the grain?"

The grain for an adult is three hundred sixty kilograms a year. Of course, in Li Family Village, where stored grain is plentiful, they also distribute it. Things like sweet potatoes, potatoes, and squash aren’t considered part of the grain.

"Don’t want the grain, then I’ll drink the northwest wind?"

"Alright then, you’ll get five hundred kilograms in total. The wheat has already been distributed, you’ll take fifty kilograms, of the remaining four hundred fifty kilograms, three hundred kilograms is sorghum, fifty kilograms corn. The remaining one hundred kilograms I’ll also give you sorghum."

"Xiang Dong, go call your Uncle Cun Shan to open the storeroom and weigh out the grain for your mom to take away."

"Dad."

"Go on." Li Yunqiang waved his hand.

"Two hundred days of work at thirty-two cents a day, that’s sixty-four yuan, I’ll give that to you as well."

"Second brother, give her the paperwork to transfer her household registration out."

Everyone could see that they wanted to make a completely clean break today.

Li Shuzhi sighed with relief, at least the money for his work won’t be lost, the rest he didn’t care about.

"Xiao Wei, could you help write a divorce agreement and the property division document?"

Wei Kaiyun nodded, Old Yang was holding a flashlight next to him, "Didn’t expect you could do this."

Wei Kaiyun helplessly glanced at Old Yang.

The divorce agreement was written very clearly, detailing the grain and money involved.

After writing it, he handed it to Li Yunqiang, who confirmed it was sufficient, and then made a copy.

As for the property division document, it had nothing to do with Liu Cuilan, so only five copies were needed.

That was also written very clearly. Once everything was written, Li Cunshan arrived.

He wasn’t distrustful of Xiang Dong, he was just very surprised.

How could Yunqiang and his wife divorce? In the village, women all envied Liu Cuilan, using her as an example in arguments.

Seeing the scene in the room, Li Cunshan didn’t say anything, just told Xiang Dong and Changhe, who was also there, to help, sending him to call two other leaders, as opening the storeroom at night was unusual.

After Wei Kaiyun finished writing, he stood up, "Let’s help move the grain, let Xiang Dong come back."

With his task here complete, he wanted to leave quickly.

After the grain was loaded on the cart, Li Cunshan returned to Li Yunqiang’s house with them to weigh out the fifty kilograms of wheat.

Liu Cuilan firmly pressed her fingerprint on the divorce agreement, as she could not write.

She ignored everyone and directly went to pack her things.

Over the years, she had accumulated quite a few clothes, filling two large sacks. She also packed up her bedding, pillows, and sheets, going around and packing her personal items into another bag.

The room now was empty, with only one set of bedding on the kang, Liu Cuilan’s eyes reddened.

The old lady came in, seeing her daughter in tears and started crying too, "Why be so stubborn? Life would be easier if you gave in. How will you live in the future?"

"Mom. I’ll stay with you for a while, and when Xiang Dong buys a house in the city, I’ll move there."

"You’ve got it all planned out, but will Xiang Dong want you? You’ve taken so much money, how will he buy a house?"

Liu Cuilan started to think. Yes, she knew the family’s money won’t be enough to buy a house. Xiang Dong has money, but definitely not enough for a house.

"At worst, I’ll help Xiang Dong with the money."

"If you give the money away, how will you manage when you’re old? Do you expect your son to support you? You’ve seen my life!"

Liu Cuilan fell silent. Yes, she needed to have money in her hands.

"Relying on Xiang Dong isn’t impossible, but you’re still young, if you can find someone else, do it."

The old lady knew all too well the hardships of a woman living alone.

"Alright, see if there’s anything else to pack, if not, I’ll have your brothers move it."

Liu Cuilan nodded, she knew well enough what was left in the house. Li Yunqiang had been good to her, making new clothes for her every year, and secretly buying her treats.

Thinking about this, Liu Cuilan’s tears fell.

She didn’t intend to remarry, she knew her former sister-in-law’s situation and didn’t want that life.

All the paperwork was done, the Liu Family’s three sons helped their sister load everything onto the vehicle.

Li Yunqiang didn’t come out, but the younger ones did to send her off.

Liu Dazhi and Li Yungui walked behind, "There’s nothing we can do, at her age."

"Old Liu, you don’t worry, even I, her own brother, can’t handle it."

"Isn’t that the truth, she could have lived well here in Li Family Village. Lanzi will regret this one day."

"She will be the subject of ridicule in the village."

Liu Dazhi sighed, "Alright, I’m leaving."

"Mm."

It was still Xiang Dong and Changhe who went, it was already two a.m. and it wasn’t wise to drive a tractor alone.

After sending the Liu Family off, Li Yungui and his wife returned to find Li Yunqiang sitting there.

"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you go rest, I’m fine here."

"Have you discussed it with Zhuang Zhiyun?"

"Mm."

Li Yungui patted his brother’s shoulder, Qu Xiaoli urged the two younger ones to go to bed, ignoring Li Shuzhi. It was so disheartening.

Actually, she didn’t like the two younger ones much, finding them similar to Liu Cuilan in temperament, unlike Xiang Dong who was sensible, so she didn’t invite them over for dinner.

Wei Kaiyun and Old Yang said their goodbyes and left.

"Alright, everyone go to bed, tomorrow get back to work as usual."

"Dad, what about me?"

"I’ll take you to work tomorrow."

As his son, he wanted to do this last thing for him. It wasn’t in vain to have raised him.

Li Shuzhi finally felt relieved. The three brothers returned inside, Shuxin and Shu Wen glared at Li Shuzhi, "Are you satisfied now?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Li Shuzhi was in a very good mood, feeling that better days were calling him.
