Rebirth: Divine Doctor, Sweet Wife

“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.

“What will we do if you divorce Father? Father is right! My eldest, second and third elder uncle are so capable, Elder Sister will certainly make a good match if she remains in our family. If you take Elder Sister away, what will become of her?

“Mother, the Zhangs are all farmers. You can barely read a few words and you haven’t done much work for many years. What use will you be to the Zhang family if you go back to them after your divorce? Where will you stay? How can you find a good match for Elder Sister? Please don’t go. Even if it is just for the sake of Elder Sister and I, please don’t go now.

“I don’t want you to go. If you don’t want to live with Father anymore, I’ll ask him to change his ways. Two years, just wait two years. In two years’ time, Elder Sister and I will be grown up. Once we’re married, you can have your way if you still want a divorce. Don’t go! You were fine all along, you even wanted Father to hurry home! Why do you suddenly want a divorce? No wuwuwu no…”

Gu Qingyao refused to let go of her leg. She blabbered on, explaining the whole situation.

Everyone who had hurried over understood what Zhang Xiaohui had done.

Everyone had been wondering why she was kicking up a fuss and insisting that Gu Yunshen hurry back! This woman had clearly done something shameful outside but still insisted on her husband hurrying back?

It was unbelievable!

Now it looked like she was not at all concerned about Gu Yunshen. She just wanted Gu Yunshen to hurry back and divorce her.

Her two daughters would be adults in two years’ time and ready for marriage. But she could not even wait two years…

Everyone simultaneously glanced at Zhang Xiaohui’s stomach.

Zhang Xiaohui was frightened by the onlookers’ expressions. She raised her foot to stomp on Gu Qingyao. “Let go, get lost…”

Gu Qingyao was not so stupid as to allow herself to be stomped on!

She followed the direction of her kick and let go, falling to the side.
