Chapter 187 Mother-in-law came to cancel the engagement (Subscription Request)

During this period, members of the hunting team went into the mountains to catch bamboo rats.

However, this thing is hard to find and they didn't get much.

Even though the brigade bought them at 60 cents each, they only caught about fifty.

However, for breeding purposes, more than fifty is not a small number.

If food is guaranteed, they will reproduce very quickly.

The rat house for bamboo rats has been prepared, and they are kept together in pairs, which is suitable for their reproduction.

Originally, bamboo rat houses were built with tiles because their teeth were too strong and cement was not hard enough.

Xu Ye used stones and steel bars to ensure that they could not escape.

As for tiles, Xu Ye is also ready to start researching.

If the tiles can be fired successfully, Sanxi Village will definitely become prosperous in the future.

However, tiles are not so easy to fire. Talc and other kaolin are used to press them into blanks, which are then sprayed with glaze and fired.

Although it is difficult to develop, Xu Ye still wants to give it a try.

After all, he had experience in firing porcelain bowls before, so it could be considered as some experience.

If he manages to figure it out by accident, then Sanxi Village will have a pillar industry in the future.

There is still a lot of kaolin in this place.

They call kaolin Guanyin soil.

If you can't get ceramic tiles, you can also try fired stone slabs.

He knew that rock slabs are made of natural minerals such as feldspar powder, quartz powder, inorganic clay and silica, which are pressed into shape through a special process and then fired in a high-temperature kiln over 1200°C.

No matter which one it is, if it can be fired successfully, it will help Sanxi Village.

No, it can help the entire county.

So no matter how many difficulties there are, Xu Ye is ready to give it a good try.

So, he planned to build a small brick kiln directly in the Jiang family's yard.

Once it’s covered, you can try firing the tiles.

However, before he had time to build the brick kiln, his mother-in-law came to the breeding farm with several women.

At this time, it was not yet time to get off work, and Xu Ye was building a brick wall with some members.

"Xu Ye."

Hearing someone calling him, Xu Ye stopped what he was doing and took a look.

"Mom, why are you here?" Xu Ye quickly put down his things and went to greet her.

Ever since Jiang Youshou went to work in the county town, Qin Jiao has not worked again.

Xu Ye naturally knew why she came here.

"Xu Ye, you and An An are divorced, right?" Qin Jiao said with mixed feelings.

When the others heard this, they put down what they were holding and gathered around.

Qin Jiao asked Xu Ye to divorce for no reason. Is she crazy?

This thought popped up in everyone's mind.

After all, Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan have a good relationship, and this is something the entire team knows.

Besides, Xu Ye is so capable.

Relying on her various abilities, she helped her sister-in-law Jiang Ruyue live a good life and helped Jiang Ruyue's ex-husband to get back on his feet and become the team's announcer.

You don't want such a capable son-in-law?
Originally everyone thought that Qin Jiao came to see Xu Ye for some good news, but who would have thought that she actually came to cancel the engagement.

"Mom, why?"

"An An and I are living a happy life, why do you want me to divorce her?"

"I haven't done anything to let An An down. I won't agree to this." Xu Ye said righteously.

Qin Jiao looked at Xu Ye and knew that what he said was sincere.

Before, Xu Ye was also against it.

She took a deep breath and then said, "Child, it is our An An who has delayed you. It is difficult for An An to have offspring. Do you want to make the Xu family extinct?"

"You are the only son of the Xu family. Do you want to end the Xu family's incense?"

"An An married you to repay you."

"How can someone who wants to repay a favor make his benefactor extinct?"

"If we really do this, what will the people in the village think of our Jiang family?"

"After thinking it over, it's better to let An An divorce you. You can marry someone else and continue the Xu family's lineage."

After Qin Jiao finished speaking, the onlookers nodded.

At this time, many women would be driven away if they were unable to bear children.

After all, few people can accept the end of their family lineage.

"Mom, we can take An An to the city for treatment, and then we can give birth after she's cured." Xu Ye retorted.

Although they had discussed it before, when the moment really came, Xu Ye still felt that it was a little hard to accept.

"What if it can't be cured?"

"You are still young now, but if time goes on, you will be older."

"I know you have a good relationship, but it is a fact that An An can't give birth. You have been married for so long, and there is no movement in her belly."

"Also, a doctor who treated An An in the early years said that it would be difficult for her to get pregnant in her lifetime."

"You think about it carefully. I will take An An home to live with me first." After saying that, Qin Jiao left with a few relatives.

Xu Ye watched his mother-in-law leave, followed her for two steps, and then stopped.

No one said anything, after all, it was happening in front of Xu Ye.

"Let's stop here today and get off work." Yang Zongming quickly asked the crowd to disperse.

If Xu Ye brought up this matter, some people would look down on him and say that he had abandoned his wife.

But this was proposed by the Jiang family, so everyone will only sympathize with Xu Ye and Jiang Ruoan.

Everyone quickly dispersed, each with their own thoughts. If Xu Ye really divorced Jiang Ruoan, then he would be a bachelor.

Whoever marries him can live the best life in the village, and her parents' family will also get help.

"The Jiang family is really noble and upright. They actually filed for divorce just because they can't have children."

"That's true. I think it was Jiang Ruoan herself who suggested it. She has the same qualities as her sister. It's a pity that she can't have children."

"Yes, although I knew she couldn't have children, I didn't expect her to take the initiative to file for divorce."

Everyone started talking.

These words naturally reached Xu Ye's ears.

Yang Zongming walked over and patted Xu Ye on the shoulder.

"This concerns future generations, so you should think about it carefully."

Xu Ye didn't expect that Yang Zongming was so traditional and attached so much importance to continuing the family line.

Xu Ye silently took out a cigarette, handed it to Yang Zongming, then lit it and took a long puff.

Jiang Ruoan will definitely have to go back and live for a while, and he will probably have to avoid contact in the future.

If you really get divorced, you have to act like a divorce.

So, next, Xu Ye has to hurry up and build the Jiang family’s house.

You can get a divorce, but you still have to continue building the house.

It's impossible for him to get clean all at once, he must persist for a while.

In this way, it would be easier for me to reject others in the future and be together with Jiang Ruyue.

He agreed so early and then got together with Jiang Ruyue. The villagers would have been gossiping about him.

Xu Ye did not go home directly, but went to the brigade office.

This matter will ferment at night, and will spread throughout the village when work points are calculated.

I don’t know what the villagers will talk about it.

Xu Ye stayed in the brigade headquarters, smoking one cigarette after another.

After Fan Dajun heard that Qin Jiao asked Xu Ye to cancel the engagement, he hurried back home.

Naturally, he had to tell his wife about this.

Let’s see if there is any chance to take the opportunity to talk to Xu Ye about that matter.

The news spread quickly, and everyone knew it by the time work ended.

Those who were close to the Jiang family all went to visit them.

Xu Ye also went to Jiang's house, followed by a lot of people watching the fun.

"Xu Ye is here." Someone shouted.

Then, Qin Jiao brought Jiang Ruoan to the door.

"Brother Ye, I made the decision, and I don't want to delay you any longer."

"I have been thinking about this for a long time and I can't put it off any longer."

"I don't want you to adopt someone else's child. I just want you to have your own flesh and blood."

"From now on, we can be siblings and relatives, but we can no longer be husband and wife."

"You go back. I've made up my mind." After saying that, Jiang Ruoan turned around and left without even giving Xu Ye a chance to speak.

Many women who cannot bear children are divorced, but it is extremely rare for them to initiate divorce.

Most of the time, it’s because of infertility and relationship breakdown that they reach this point.

"Xu Ye, you should go back. You know An An's character. Once she makes a decision, even ten cows can't pull her back."

"As for her, I will try my best to help you persuade her." Jiang Ruyue stepped forward and said.

During this period, she also plans to go back to her parents' home to live for a while.

She will go back to live there when the storm subsides.

Xu Ye looked at the tightly closed gate of the Jiang family's courtyard and silently took out a cigarette and lit it.

He didn't say anything, just watched silently.

He felt that silence was better than words at this time.

Looking at the curling smoke from the Jiang family's kitchen, Xu Ye still felt a little complicated.

The other villagers watched the excitement for a while and then dispersed.

After Jiang Ruoan made such a fuss, she is destined to never be able to marry again in her life.

At this time, no one would want to marry someone they knew would be infertile.

There are three types of unfilial behavior, and the worst of them is to have no descendants. This is a concept deeply rooted in many people today.

Xu Ye stood at the door for an hour before returning to the Li family.

Li Qian had been guarding the door, waiting for Xu Ye to come back.

"Uncle Ye, Aunt An doesn't want you anymore. I want you."

"When I grow up, I will marry Uncle Ye and give birth to children for him."

Looking at the childish Li Qian, Xu Ye walked up and picked her up.

"That won't work. Your Uncle Ye will be old by then." As he said that, Xu Ye couldn't help but scratch Li Qian's nose.

By the time Li Qian grew up, Xu Ye didn't even know how many times he had been married.

"Okay, now that things have come to this, let's eat first." With that, Xu Ye carried Li Qian and prepared to go for dinner.

Li Dongming didn't say anything. After all, he knew what the inside story was.

Getting to the point of divorce was originally part of his plan.

But he will never tell anyone this secret and will take it into his coffin.

He looked at Xu Ye and handed him a cigarette.

He took a few puffs before saying, "I'm afraid things will get pretty busy at home from now on."
