Old Hag, Will You Ever Shut Up?
Liu Su'e sneered:
Don't worry! With me here, they won't dare.
Sufen, now that I'm capable of protecting you, would you like to come with me?
Liu Sufen hesitated for a long time before saying, "But I'm afraid I'll implicate you."
Liu Su'e laughed and said, "Silly girl, it's alright, it won't implicate us. I won't let the Wu family get away with this."
Liu Dalang picked up Liu Sufen and carried her out. Wu Dazhi shouted, "Liu Sufen, if you dare to leave this house today, don't ever come back!"
Liu Sufen sneered, "Wu Dazhi, don't worry, I will definitely not come back."
Liu Su'e looked coldly at Wu Dazhi and said, "Go to the county government tomorrow and get the divorce papers done."
Wu Dazhi laughed heartily:
"You want me to divorce her? What kind of dream are you having?"
"I'll drag her down with me for the rest of my life, or worse, I'll divorce her."
Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly and said, "Mother, let's go first! They'll come tomorrow to beg us for a divorce."
Wu Dazhi laughed and said, "What kind of Spring and Autumn Annals dream are you having? Where did this little brat come from? Get the hell out of here."
Zhou Wanwan left with her group. Wu Dazhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Pah! Bad luck! Just wait and see, tomorrow I'll turn your house upside down."
Zhou Wanwan and the others boarded the carriage, and the Old Scholar Tree started to move as well. Wu Dazhi never expected that the tree in their yard had become a spirit.
They tied him to the trees and then whipped him mercilessly with their roots.
Old Madam Wu screamed in terror, "Am I dreaming? What are these things?"
Wu Dazhi was terrified and begged for mercy, "I was wrong, Grandpa Tree God, I was wrong, what do you want?"
The trees ignored him and just kept slapping him all night.
When Wu Dazhi woke up early the next morning, he found his body covered in whip marks.
He sat on the ground and cried out, "What terrible things have I done?"
Just as he was about to go inside to rest, he discovered that his house was nowhere to be found.
Wu Dazhi stared blankly at the empty land and said, "Where's the house? How come our house is gone?"
Old Madam Wu stretched and looked at him, saying:
"Son! Wake your wife up and get her to work. It's so early in the morning, has breakfast been cooked yet?"
After the fire was burned, she was made to feed the pigs. After feeding the pigs, she was made to wash the clothes. After washing the clothes...
Before she could finish speaking, she felt something choking her neck.
The Little Pine Tree next to her strangled her with its roots, saying:
"You old hag, are you ever going to stop? Are you ever going to stop?"
"It's really annoying, do you have to eat something to shut you up?"
The Little Pine Tree went straight to the back, scooped up a big spoonful of poop, and stuffed it all into her mouth.
The Little Pine Tree aren't afraid of getting dirty, because the droppings are natural fertilizer for them.
Old Madam Wu was crying and sniffling; she was so overwhelmed by the stench that she couldn't breathe, and her mouth was full of foul smells.
She burst into tears, and Wu Dazhi was so frightened that his legs went weak and he knelt down on the ground.
"Oh my god! Someone please save me! What happened? Waaaaah..."
Absolutely, I'm willing to divorce her. I'll go to her door today and beg her for a divorce.
Please, have mercy on me!
The Little Pine Tree breathed a sigh of relief and left with its men.
Wu Dazhi and his Old Madam Wu embraced and wept bitterly. Dazhi looked at the yellow substance in her mouth and couldn't help but gag, saying, "Mom, please wash that stuff out of your mouth! I really can't take it anymore."
After washing her hands dozens of times, Old Madam Wu finally came out and said, "Son! Where did these robbers come from? Shall we go and report them to the police now?"
Tears streaming down his face, Wu Dazhi cried, "Report it! You must report it! I want to kill all these robbers!"
The next day, Wu Dazhi and his Old Madam Wu ran desperately towards the county government office early in the morning.
Shen Yu'an looked at them with disdain and asked, "Wu Dazhi, what exactly happened?"
Wu Dazhi cried uncontrollably.
"My lord, save me! A tree spirit entered our house last night!"
My mother and I were tortured all night, and they even forced feces and urine down our throats."
When Shen Yu'an saw his appearance, he almost vomited. "What's in your mouth? Since you're here in court, why don't you wash your mouth clean?"
Wu Dazhi cried, "Sir, this is the evidence! Also, I want to sue Liu Sufen and her family for attempting to murder my entire family."
Shen Yu'an looked at him and asked, "Who is Liu Sufen?"
Wu Dazhi cried out:
"That's my wife. Yesterday, her brothers and sisters came looking for her, and they beat up my mother and me, and took Liu Sufen away."
I demand compensation for my losses; my house is gone.
They must have moved it.
Shen Yu'an naturally knew who did it, but he had no choice but to have someone invite Liu Sufen and Liu Su'e over.
Liu Su'e arrived at the yamen quickly, and Liu Sufen also came. She had been taken to the Zhou Family last night and was stunned.
She never imagined her sister would become so wealthy, living in such a large mansion.
Liu Su'e arranged accommodation for her and her child in a very large courtyard.
They even arranged all sorts of clothes for her; she'd never seen so many clothes in her entire life!
There are also An'an's clothes, an entire wardrobe, dozens of pieces of clothing.
She felt like she was dreaming.
Today she wore a luxurious fox fur cloak, underneath which she wore a simple, moon-white cross-collar undergarment, and over that, a light apricot-colored soft satin jacket.
Her lower body was clad in a plain-colored silk skirt of the same color scheme, neither gaudy nor vulgar, and more pleasing to the eye than a full outfit of jewels.
Her long hair was simply tied into a low bun, without any jewels or ornaments. She only had a plain red gold hairpin inserted on one side of the bun.
Wu Dazhi stared blankly at Liu Sufen, while Old Madam Wu looked at the gold hairpin in her hair and said:
Where did you get that gold hairpin in your hair?
You can actually afford a gold hairpin? Did you go out to meet some random guy last night?
I knew it. Your sister isn't a good person.
Wu Dazhi looked at her with disgust and said, "So that's how it is. Liu Sufen, you've really made something of yourself now, meeting with other men in secret. I'm divorcing you."
Liu Sufen looked at Shen Yu'an and said:
"My lord, I beg you to do me justice. Yesterday, Wu Dazhi beat me so badly that I miscarried."
Moreover, Wu Dazhi beat me every day, and my body is covered with bruises from his beatings.
I humbly request that you grant me a divorce.
Wu Dazhi said angrily:
"Liu Sufen, how dare you propose a divorce? I am an educated person."
You're just a country bumpkin; how will you survive without me?
With your dilapidated family background, do you really think they'd take you in?
You'd better apologize to me right now, or don't blame me.
Shen Yu'an snorted coldly and said, "Wu Dazhi, do you have any semblance of a scholar? Did you beat your wife yesterday?"
Wu Dazhi looked at Liu Sufen with disdain and said, "So what if I hit her? This woman was disobedient, so she deserved to be hit."
