Chapter 132: Let My Performance Begin (2) (1/2)
“What’s the matter? What’s going on? Who’s crying so piteously?”
Everyone hurried out just in time to see Zhang Xiaohui and Old Madam Zhang descend from midway up the mountain. The two of them had just reached the road that ran through the brigade.
Everyone saw them, then saw that Gu Qingyao was pursuing them from behind.
Gu Qingyao rushed over and grabbed Zhang Xiaohui’s leg. “Mother… Mother, why do you want to divorce Father? Father is so good to you and so good to the Zhang family. Why are you asking for a divorce out of the blue?
“Two days ago, you were repeatedly asking me to ask Father to hurry home. Weren’t you missing Father? Now Father is home, why do you suddenly want a divorce? Don’t go, don’t divorce Father, alright?”
Psst!
Divorce?
Everyone drew a sharp breath. Surely not? Had matters gotten so out of hand?
In this era, divorces were rare, especially in the villages.
But everyone thought of Zhang Xiaohui’s previous behavior and their expressions changed. A woman like that was just too much.
Zhang Xiaohui could not move her leg. She angrily tried to shake Gu Qingyao off, but was afraid of harming the baby. She could only bellow, “Let go!”
Gu Qingyao was still wailing. “Why? Mother, don’t go. Why do you suddenly want a divorce? And you want to leave immediately too. Why? Father is so good to you, please don’t leave.”
“Your Father is a bad element. I don’t want to live with him anymore. Get lost, scram…”
“No, wuwuwu, Father said if you want a divorce, you have to wait for two years. When my elder sister and I are both married, he won’t stop you from leaving. Mother, please don’t go. Father is so good. Don’t go. Perhaps you will change your mind about divorce after two years. Please come home.
