is son explain it, he widened his eyes in surprise."I've told you countless times, when you're out and about, you can't tell the truth to anyone, how come you don't remember!"Both Jia Yi and Liu Yang...Hui Niang and Xiao Cuier couldn't stand it anymore, afraid they would lose control and rush up to tear this heartless woman apart.

"Little Hui and Xiaocui got up. Little Hui said, 'Brother Kong, the village certainly won't keep such a menace. You decide what to do with her. Whether you divorce her or send her back home is up to you."

Moreover, the Li family, both the matriarch and the county princess remained silent. They were probably afraid that you would be caught in the middle and find it difficult to navigate. They were also worried that if the marquis found out, they would lose face by being associated with this.

But your daughter-in-law is the one who made the mistake. Now that you know, you can't pretend to be clueless. It's best to go and apologize as soon as possible.

"Both the old matriarch and the county princess are kind-hearted people. Although you didn't return before, everyone was angry, but neither the old matriarch nor the county princess agreed to drive Kong's wife out. They truly showed great benevolence and righteousness."

Kong Qinghe took a deep breath and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Okay, thank you both for reminding me. I will definitely handle it well and won't cause any more trouble for the village."

Huiniang and Xiaocui then took their leave, and as they went out the door, Shuiling presented them with live fish. They were all delighted.

They called upon the village women for help, and soon they began to stew fish in an iron pot.

That evening, after Li Jiagang finished dinner, while the Lord was accompanying the old lady in conversation, Kong Qinghe came with his son and knelt down to apologize.

Li Laotai had previously asked her youngest son, and learned that Kong Qinghe was a very good person on a daily basis.

This really happened because of his daughter-in-law's own actions, and he had nothing to do with it.

One can only say, a hero has no good wife...

She didn't want to make things difficult for such a good man, so she helped him up with her own hands and comforted him with a few words.

Although Kong's mother-in-law may be uncivilized and infuriating, we shouldn't hold it against the whole family because of her actions.

Kong Jia's son was very intelligent and a good student. He insisted on kneeling and kowtowing three times to his mother.

The lord listened to a few sentences and understood the ins and outs of the matter, then frowned.

Originally, he agreed to have his family move in with the guards so they wouldn't have any worries.

To our surprise, a stinking goat egg popped up in the pot of delicious soup!

Kong Qinghe was also shrewd, and immediately said: "Lord Hou, I would like to request a few days off to send my wife back to her hometown to get a divorce. After that, I will absolutely ensure she never appears on Suijintan again."

But the child is still studying, so I request that Lord Hou and Old Madam allow him to continue staying in the village.

The lord looked at Old Lady Li without speaking.

After some thought, Old Lady Li said: "How you two get along is your own business, and the village won't interfere. Just make sure she doesn't appear at Suijin Beach again."

As for the children, they haven't done anything wrong and they should definitely continue their education.

But be sure to teach your children well, let them understand right from wrong, and don't harbor hatred in their hearts. Otherwise, it will ruin the unity of our village.

"No, " Kong Qinghe quickly brought his son to bow again. "Rest assured, ma'am, this child is very smart and knows right from wrong."

After some more casual conversation, the father and son bid farewell.

The Lord rose to his feet and bowed, wanting to apologize on behalf of his subordinates to Madam Li, but Madam Li grabbed him and said reproachfully, "What are you getting involved for It's not your fault. I didn't tell you because I was afraid of this."

The Lord saw this and relented, but after returning home, he still reminded Ye Shan a few words.

From now on, no matter how big or small a matter is in the village, it must be reported to him in a timely manner. Today's incident must not happen again.

The next morning, Kong Qinghe entrusted his child to a neighbor and hired a carriage to take his wife back to her parents' home.

His hometown wasn't too far away, over a hundred miles.

But Kong's wife had broken her leg, and the bumpy road made her cry out in pain before they even reached Suijin Beach.

But pain was one aspect; she feared more what would come after.

Kong Qinghe has been away from home for many years. Although she gave birth to a son, she is still treated as a victim of oppression and exploitation in her in-laws' house.

Fortunately, Kong Qinghe knew how to empathize with her and the child, so he took them out.

I thought that once I was in charge, things would be fine. Unfortunately, she's just born with a bad attitude. As soon as we started living well, she got arrogant.

She saw that the villagers were unwilling to hold grudges against her, and the Li family would not see things as she did. She repeatedly started causing trouble, finally hitting a wall and ruining her own good days.

This time going back home, if I stayed at the Kong family, I would definitely be treated like a work animal, just eating to survive.

If a marriage is annulled, the woman is sent back to her parents' home.

Then, with her parents gone, her greedy brother and sister-in-law would certainly sell her off to a bachelor thug for the dowry.

But no matter how afraid she was, no matter how much she cried, the path was her own choosing. She had to walk it, even if she had to crawl.

The villagers were abuzz with discussion about this matter.

Of course, no one said the host family was bad. They were just lamenting that Kong's wife was too scheming and ruined a good situation.

All the men were carrying their wives by the ear, scaring them over and over again, afraid that they would also make mistakes and ruin their good homes!

Before noon, three carriages arrived on the official road. But they were not strangers; it was Li Laosan and his wife bringing Wu Sanniang and others back home for the New Year!

When the villagers heard, they all came out to greet him. The village immediately became lively.

The Li family was also happy, they hadn't seen the third child and his wife in a long time.

Wu Sanniang and the others hurried home to tidy up the house, which they hadn't lived in for a long time. Villagers followed along to help, and took the opportunity to chat.

Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru were also ushered into the house.

Upon hearing the news, Jiayin rushed back from the warm room and embraced her uncle and aunt, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Zhao Yuru rubbed her niece's head, anxiously asking about what happened before, scolding: "What is wrong with the Chen family Who gave them the guts to drive away our family and cause trouble!

"

Everyone outside is saying how amazing Fu Niuer is, it's making me want to kill someone.

"Whose house was bullied to the doorstep and couldn't fight back A bunch of fools who talk standing up and don't feel their waist ache!"

Old Li was also not looking well. He even said, “Mother, from now on, if the children don’t go to the academy anymore, we won’t run the dining hall either.”

"There's something going on at home, we're always out and can't help…"

Mrs. Li quickly comforted her son and daughter-in-law, smiling and saying: "There are so many people in our family, we don't lack you two."

Besides, our family isn't easy to bully. This time, we scared the Chen family off. Everyone else knows now and won't dare to cause us trouble in the future.

"If you're going to do business, just do it. If you have nothing else to do, come back here twice."

Then Li Laosan and Zhao Yuru stopped talking and instead asked about the details.

They had heard a few words from outsiders, they were very anxious. Seeing that the academy would not be on holiday for another three or five days, they ran to Dean Zhou to ask for leave.

They originally intended to return early so that the students of the academy could eat for a few days on the streets outside.

As a result, Dean Zhou also had to go out to attend an old friend's poetry gathering for admiring flowers. He simply gave the students winter break with a wave of his hand and set the school to reopen on the 16th day of the first lunar month after the New Year.

A month-long holiday is almost here, which has made students both excited and apprehensive.

Li Laosan also quickly tidied up his things and hurried home.

Elder Li was overjoyed to have all her grandchildren home. She couldn't help but say, "I wonder where your eldest brother took the children. It's almost New Year's Eve. If they come back sooner, we can have a few more lively days."

Everyone nodded. Li Lao Si then said, “I’ve had nothing to do these past few days, so I went to the dock to turn around and welcome the fleet.”

Li Lao San quickly chimed in, "Okay, get me one too, let's go together."

Without mentioning the fact that people at home were thinking of him, let's just say that a boat dock two hundred miles away from Xin Du was where Li's fleet was anchored, taking on water.

Jiā Rén's brothers and Lú Zòng, Jiā Xù were all wearing thick padded coats and trousers. Their cheeks had been wind-chapped and roughened, but their spirits remained good.

Working as a laborer on ships, I've done many odd jobs and gained a lot of experience.

Naturally, they became more familiar with each other.

Miao Ge was so excited he couldn't contain himself, hopping around and shouting, "After we get home, the first meal I want is hot pot!"

"Grab a mouthful of mutton with chopsticks, dip it in sesame sauce, and stuff your mouth full."

"Wow, I'm so happy, I can't stand it! It looks so delicious, I want two plates of lamb!"

Everyone burst into laughter.

Lu Zong said, "Well then, we must have the courage to go to Suijin Beach and try this hotpot, no matter what. "

"You've mentioned it at least a dozen times on the way here."

Everyone was laughing, and Jiarren was just about to open his mouth to invite them, when a small attendant figure came to the side of the boat. Lu Zong's servant hurried over to meet him...
