Gu Yunjing glanced at Li Dahai. He could view other’s actions with a calm eye, but this was his younger sister’s husband. He looked honest and frank, but he had kicked his younger sister until she had lost her child, and had looked on indifferently his family bullied his own wife.
Li Dahai shuddered uncontrollably as this pair of bloodshot eyes glared at him. Gu Yunjing had no wish to reason with people like that. It would be best to just swiftly cut the ties between his younger sister and a man like this.
“Li Dahai, come here and write a certificate to prove that you’ve divorced my sister. Then I can transfer my younger sister’s accounts away. And as for your daughter, the Li family must also break off ties with her and write a certificate to prove it. We cannot allow things to remain in a muddle. Otherwise, take the child and raise her yourself.”
“What?”
Li Dahai had not said anything yet, but Old Madam Li was taken aback!
They were here just to get some divorce certificate?
Old Madam Li immediately burst out laughing. She looked disdainfully at the Gu family. Truly, they were bad elements from a landlord family. What a bunch of useless creatures.
“Hurry up and write it for him. When you’re done, ask those two jinxes to get lost. They are not to bother the Li family in the future.”
Old Madam Li had been beaten last night, and was in a bad mood. Now that she saw Gu Yunshuang and Li Fangting, she felt even more contemptuous. She just wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible.
Li Dahai had no opinions of his own, but Old Madam Li was intent on getting rid of Gu Yunshuang. So this matter was dealt with smoothly.
In the end, a literate young fellow from the Poplar Brigade wrote the certificate. When he was done, he read it out to everyone present. Li Aiguo was illiterate, so he could only listen as someone read it to him.
Lastly, Gu Yunshuang and Li Dahai signed their names and added their thumbprints.
Li Dahai could write his own name because Gu Yunshuang had taught him how.
Then they cut the ties between Li Fangting and Li Dahai, and wrote another certificate. This was similar to how Gu Yunshen and Zhang Xiaohui had managed their divorce. Both parties signed their names and added their thumbprints.
Old Madam Li insisted that she did not want this useless creature, so Li Dahai had no choice but to agree.
The recommendation letter to transfer the accounts was also written. Gu Yunjing gathered up everything and looked at Li Dahai.
“Since you are divorced, both of you have nothing to do with each other anymore. In the future, Gu Yunshuang will return to live with the Gu family. Bring out the food that the brigade distributed before the new year.”
“Forget it!” Old Madam Li grew agitated at the mention of sharing food. Food was her life. She definitely would not hand over a single grain.
Gu Yunjing did not bother to argue with her. He looked at Li Aiguo and said with a smile, “Comrade Li Aiguo, you’re the brigade leader. You decide. Comrade Gu Yunshuang and Comrade Li Dahai have divorced. This is not a big deal since people are free to marry these days. Mutual consent is all that is needed for marriage and divorce. They both want to divorce, so as older brothers, we won’t stop them.
“But since she has left the family, she must certainly bring her food with her. The food was obtained in exchange for Comrade Gu Yunshuang’s individual work and belongs to her alone. The Li Family cannot possibly seize the food meant for Comrade Yunshuang to live on.
“Even if the matter reaches the commune, the Li family is still acting unreasonably. Do you agree?”
Li Aiguo was the epitome of someone who was afraid of trouble.
He was not afraid of Gu Yunshuang, but instinctively felt fear when facing Gu Yunjing and Gu Yundong. Both were important people who held positions of power outside.
The position of brigade leader was just too important to him. Everything he possessed had been given to him because of his position as brigade leader. So he was very careful of how he presented himself.
