When Zhou Yuanwai left, Wang Guihua's face was darker than the bottom of the pot.
She stood at the door of the main room, her cane making a thumping sound on the ground, and her whole body was full of anger. She swept around the room with her triangular eyes, and finally fixed her eyes on Shen Luxi.
"Okay, okay! You unconscionable thing! Are you satisfied that you made Mr. Zhou angry? Twenty taels of silver, twenty taels of silver! It's all gone if you mess with it like this!"
Shen Luxi stood in the middle of the main room, motionless.
More and more villagers gathered outside the courtyard gate. Some stood on tiptoe to look in, while others pulled the people next to them and whispered.
The Shen family made such a big noise, and the whole village was alarmed.
Shen Luxi waited for Wang Guihua to finish cursing before speaking.
"Grandma, let's get over what happened with Yuan Zhou. Let's get down to business."
"What's the matter?!"
"Split the family."
Wang Guihua poked the ground with her cane again: "What kind of family separation! I said we won't separate them!"
Shen Luxi did not argue with her, but turned to look at Fang Bingwen.
Fang Bingwen took out the family separation documents from his sleeve, walked to the table in the main room, unfolded the documents and laid them out.
"Old Mrs. Wang, I am writing below, the lawyer of Qingchuan Town. This family separation document is drafted in accordance with the Dayan Law. The terms are clear and legal. If you agree, we will settle the matter today so that everyone can get together and go. If you don't agree..."
He paused and looked at Wang Guihua calmly.
"Then we can only go through the Yamen. So many people here today have seen the private sale of a good wife as a concubine, and Zhou Yuanwai can't escape. When we get to the Yamen, it's not as simple as dividing the family."
Wang Guihua's face twitched.
Zhao Cuiping was anxious beside him: "Why is there no government office? Who are you trying to scare!"
Fang Bingwen didn't even look at her, and continued to say to Wang Guihua: "You also heard the law just now. Mrs. Wang, how old are you this year? Can you afford eighty canes?"
Wang Guihua's lips trembled twice, and her cane clenched loudly.
Shen Dehou coughed in the corner and spoke slowly: "Aunt Osmanthus, since the children have brought it up and the lawyer is here, why not sit down and have a good talk. Separating a family is a serious matter and it is not a shameful thing. Which family in the village has not done so?"
Li Zheng spoke, but the weight was different.
No matter how arrogant Wang Guihua was, she would not dare to behave in front of Li Zheng and Litigation Master.
She gritted her teeth and sat back on the Taishi chair, with the crutch across her knees and an expression on her face that could make her cry.
"Okay, you say it."
Shen Luxi took a step forward.
"Nai, the matter of dividing the family is very simple, just a few things."
She stretched out her hand and counted them one by one.
"The first item is the land. It was clearly written in the documents when the family was divided that the second house should get five acres of paddy fields and three acres of dry land. All these years have been in the name of the first house, and not one acre has been given to us. We do not pursue the past. We only ask that the land that should be given to the second house be returned to the second house according to the document."
Shen Daniu couldn't sit still in the corner: "What kind of documents! There are no documents!"
Shen Luxi handed the copy of the land property document to Fang Bingwen, and Fang Bingwen took it and read it over.
There are black and white words on the paper, the year, month and date, and the signatures of the people present when the family was separated. They are all clear.
Shen Daniu's face turned red and white, and he opened his mouth, but did not dare to say anything again.
Zhao Cuiping was so anxious that she pulled Shen Daniu's sleeves. Shen Daniu threw her hand away and lowered his head.
