Chapter 125: Foolish Smile of Osmanthus
On the other hand, Chu Lixing finally grabbed Xu's arm. Although there was a height difference between Guihua and Chu Lixing, they eventually managed to stop Xu from sitting on the ground together.
Osmanthus is young and small in stature, even her strength is small, but she can still cope with Xu Shi for a while if she suddenly strikes out. If the time is long, she can't withstand Xu Shi's toss.
"Everyone, aunties and ladies, who can help us out? My grandmother is not feeling well and needs to be taken inside to lie down. If she lies on the ground, she'll catch a chill and definitely get sick later."
As for Xu's behavior, the villagers had already understood it long ago, but hearing Guihua say it now made it seem as if Xu was really frail.
Some enthusiastic and lively women didn't delay at all. As soon as Guihua opened her mouth, they rushed in.
This is great, let alone the osmanthus, even Chu Lixian who was just beside him had his hands free, while Xu Shi was being carried into the house by four sturdy village women, two holding her arms and two holding her legs.
Xu's family was naturally not involved, shouting loudly that someone had been killed, but no one responded.
As for the ten taels of silver, Chu Zhenghai knew that Xu Shi had handed it over to Chu Liwan last night, so there was no need to ask Xu Shi again. He directly called out Chu Liwan and asked her to take out nine taels of silver, saying that the remaining one tael of silver was the share of money given by Eldest Brother and Fourth Brother for her marriage.
Chu Liwan had long guessed that these ten taels of silver would not be her own, according to her mother's character, it would be good to get five or seven hundred copper coins from the ten taels of silver, but now she heard that she was going to leave herself a whole tael of silver, Chu Liwan naturally took it out with joy.
These ten taels of silver were a huge sum in Xinghe Village, and to make it easier to divide, Guan Dashan had someone rush to the town to exchange the ten taels for loose change. It wasn't until nightfall that they finally finished dividing everything up.
After a busy whole day, Chu's family would certainly invite everyone to dinner. Fortunately, when someone was sent to the town to spend money just now, they also bought some meat in the town and caught a chicken, and about ten eggs. With the help of several children, Yu Shi did the evening meal alone.
After everyone finished eating, several children took the initiative to wash the bowls and chopsticks. Under the witness of Guan Dashan and several elders, they redistributed the remaining bowls and chopsticks to each household. The Chu family finally split up.
Looking at the pile of pots, bowls and farm tools on the floor of my own home, there are also some rough rice, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar. Guihua is squatting beside me, unable to help but hehe silly smile.
We're divorced!
We're divorced!
We finally separated!
The osmanthus has endured for so long here and finally waited until this day.
Divorce is good, divorce is wonderful, divorce is just a loud cry!
Finally, Plum Blossom, who was sitting on the side, couldn't bear it anymore. After giving Cassia a white eye, she said in an unpleasant tone: "Cassia, can you go get some water first and then sit there smiling foolishly?"
"Ah?" Guihua was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look beside her, only to find that she didn't know when Chu Yanyi had brought water in and was now squatting on the ground washing those bowls and chopsticks that had been divided out.
"Oh! I'll go fetch water right away!" Guihua laughed as she stood up, grabbed the bucket beside her and was about to run out.
