Divorced by her husband's family and rejected by her own! She defiantly turned her life around

Zhou Xiangxing led the people into the house. After everyone came in, she closed the door behind her. She took off her top, revealing her chest area, which showed large and small pinch marks, blue and purple marks, and burn scars.

The women gasped, exchanging glances. This Lu Yunping was truly a beast in human form; appearances can be deceiving. His behavior was twisted. They wondered how Zhou had endured it all these years and cast sympathetic looks at her.

Granny Liu was also terrified. How could her son do such a thing? Zhou Xiangxing put her top back on, then took off her pants, revealing her private parts, which shocked everyone. One woman screamed in terror and almost fainted.

The woman who spoke first went over and patted her on the shoulder, her eyes full of heartache, "Child, put your clothes on properly, Auntie will stand up for you."

As the group came out of the house, the aunt said, "Eldest son of the Lu family, Zhou's clothes are right there on the ground. All of us can see them clearly, and your mother saw them too. What else do you have to say?"

Granny Liu wanted to say that she hadn't seen it, but what good would it do? No, it wouldn't. She glanced at her son and said, "Look at the terrible thing you've done."

The same woman said, "I agree to Zhou's request for a divorce." As a woman herself, she sympathized with Zhou and was pleased to see her bravely stand up for herself and fight for a way out.

This world is so harsh on women; how many women can be like her?

The other women also said, "If you can't live together, then get a divorce. Don't treat people like this."

"I don't agree to a divorce. Since she wants to leave, we can only issue a divorce decree. She can't take anything from this house with her."

She looked at Lu Yunzhou, "Lu Tongsheng, what do you say? I not only want a divorce, but I also want you to compensate me for my medical expenses."

Lu Yunzhou frowned. "I can't interfere in your and my brother's affairs. You two should resolve this yourselves."

Widow Wang tugged at Lu Yunping's sleeve, "Brother Yunping, since she wants to leave, let her go. Judging from this situation, things are probably not going to end well."

Zhou Xiangxing looked at the village chief and the others, "Village chief, I haven't done anything wrong. He has no reason to divorce me. I'll risk my life to go to the county government office and let all the people in the county know what kind of person Lu Yunping is, what kind of family the Lu family is, and let the people at the academy know how the Lu family's scholars can distinguish right from wrong. I'll also ask a few aunties to testify for me then."

"Zhou, are you crazy? Do you want to ruin Zhou'er's future and your two children's reputation?"

"I can give you the divorce papers, but there's no money, and you're not allowed to see the two children again." Granny Liu thought she could control Zhou Xiangxing by using the children, but she didn't expect Zhou Xiangxing to be completely unmoved by her.

"I may not see the child, but the money must be paid!" Zhou Xiangxing said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

Everyone present couldn't understand Zhou Xiangxing's actions. Why would she rather have money than see her child, who was the child she had carried for ten months?

Granny Liu smiled sinisterly, "If you want money, you can sign the severance papers with the two children. From now on, you will have no relationship whatsoever." She thought that this would frighten Zhou Xiangxing into giving in, but Zhou Xiangxing said, "I will sign, but you must give me 10 taels of silver. From now on, I will have nothing to do with your Lu family."

"No, 10 taels of silver is too much, 2 taels at most."

The woman then spoke up again, saying, "Let's not settle for 10 taels or 2 taels. Let's each compromise and give her 5 taels as compensation. In addition, you can give her 2 taels for medical expenses, and that will settle the matter."

Granny Liu refused, but Widow Wang tugged at Lu Yunping's clothes. Lu Yunping said, "Mother, just give her seven taels of silver and let her leave now."

Zhou Xiangxing was overjoyed. She had originally thought that she would be grateful if she could get a divorce smoothly, but she didn't expect to receive 7 taels of silver.

Zhou Xiangxing has a son and a daughter. Her son, Lu Wenxuan, is 7 years old, and her daughter, Lu Xinning, is 5 years old. When they walked up to Zhou Xiangxing, they didn't even call her "Mom" but directly accused her, "Why are you so petty? Why can't you tolerate your second aunt? Your second aunt is such a good person. When she has a younger brother, he will call you 'Mom' and be filial to you."

Now your father and grandmother don't want you anymore, and neither do we. Once you leave the Lu family, you will no longer be our mother.

Zhou Xiangxing smiled bitterly. Her own children were not filial to her, yet they expected other people's children to be filial. It was ridiculous. They were too naive.

"I know, so after Mother is gone, you must take good care of yourselves. You are the older brother, so you must take good care of your younger sister."

Everyone who came was shocked by the two children's words. How could they be so unfilial at such a young age? What kind of good people could they be in the future? No wonder Zhou was so resolute. I wonder who taught them these words. It's a tragedy that such good children have been raised like this.

Zhou Xiangxing went into her room to tidy up and came out carrying two sets of clothes. "These are the last things I can do for you," she said, placing the clothes in the hands of her two children.

Unexpectedly, her son threw the clothes on the ground and stomped on them. Her daughter followed suit, throwing her clothes on the ground and stomping on them, while grinning at her father and grandmother, saying, "You're not my mother anymore, so we don't want your tattered clothes. Our second aunt will make our own clothes from now on."

The village chief had already helped them write the divorce papers and the severance of ties. Both parties signed and pressed their fingerprints, and that was the end of it. From then on, they went their separate ways.

Zhou Xiangxing received the silver and wondered why Widow Wang's in-laws hadn't arrived yet. Just then, a commotion erupted at the door: "You, Wang Cuicui, you are my Qin family's daughter-in-law, yet you have an affair with another man, are pregnant, and even want to take away my Qin family's property? You're dreaming!"

Xiaohua is Dahuai's only bloodline. I originally thought that if you wanted to remarry, we wouldn't stop you. I didn't expect you to be so immoral. Where do you think the Qin family's reputation is now? Where do you think Dahuai's reputation is now? How will Xiaohua face people in the future?

"Village Chief, Wang Cuicui has violated the virtues of a wife and disgraced my Qin family. According to village rules, such a person should be drowned in a pig cage. I implore the Village Chief and the elders to uphold justice for my Qin family. My son has died, and now he's being called a bastard."

When Zhou Xiangxing saw that the Qin family had arrived, she realized that she had achieved her goal. After saying goodbye to her aunts, she quickly walked towards the town.

Wang Cuicui was terrified and knelt down in front of Granny Qin with a thud. "Mother, you agreed to this marriage, why are you going back on your word?"

Old Lady Qin raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "You shameless slut! How dare you cheat on me like this! I couldn't bear to see you widowed, so I allowed you to remarry. I never expected you to deceive this old woman like me. How could I forgive you?"

"Village chief, this adulterous couple must be drowned in a pig cage; they'll ruin the whole village's morals."

The village chief nodded. "That's how it should be. If we don't follow this, the village rules will become meaningless, and anyone will dare to act recklessly in the village."

Lu Yunping helped Wang Cuicui up. "Aunt Qin, I was wrong about this. Cuicui is now carrying my child. Please, for the sake of the child, grant us your blessing. I will also take care of you on behalf of Brother Dahuai in the future."

Village chief, uncles and aunts, please give us a chance.

The village chief glanced at Granny Qin. The Lu family had lost both their wife and their army this time. Granny Qin looked at her granddaughter, who was crying her eyes out, and gently stroked her head. Little Flower looked at her grandmother with teary eyes, "Grandma, I don't want Mother to die. Please, Little Flower can't live without Mother."

Granny Qin sighed. Thinking of her granddaughter, she swallowed her anger, but she absolutely couldn't let them get away with it. She had to make the Lu family pay a price.
