Chapter 327 She Just Protects Her Shortcomings
"Since you feel that your daughter has been wronged in the Liu family and want to divorce, I will not stop you. But we, the Liu family, spent a lot of money to betroth your daughter. We have provided her with food and drink since she married in. Now that you want to divorce, do you have to return the betrothal gifts?"
Listening to Liu's father's tone, Bai Yunxi almost laughed out loud,
"Since you proposed to return the betrothal gifts, let's settle it. I don't deny that I received a betrothal gift of five strings of cash from your family, but my daughter was tortured to death by you in your family. Not only did she lose her child, she almost lost her life. This account must be settled."
"Also, the money we spent on treating our daughter cannot be left out. Although I have the bill here, for the sake of fairness, my daughter has been seeing a doctor and getting medicine at Baohetang in the town the whole time. You can ask for the amount of money you spent, so that I won't wrongly accuse you."
Bai Yunxi stared at the Liu family with a serious face and snorted in his heart.
Since the two families have fallen out, she has to actively fight for her own interests. She doesn't care about what happened in the past. Now she only cares about the present. No one can let her suffer in silence.
Even if she is protecting her shortcomings or being unreasonable, it is absolutely impossible for her to give in.
After all, she is the person sitting at the main seat of the negotiation table. Will she be frightened by such a small scene?
Let alone the economic dispute of five strings of money, even if it is more, she will still argue.
As for whether it is wrong or not, that is the business of the original owner and his wife. She is just a substitute. If God wants to punish them, he will punish the original owner and his wife not to reincarnate.
Punishing them to continue to stay in the underworld to endure the days, they can also see how she trains the children to live.
Thinking of this, Bai Yunxi raised her chin slightly, straightened her chest, and spoke with full momentum.
"If this matter cannot be sorted out, you can still choose to see the official and let the official investigate. In this way, it will save us from quarreling."
When Bai Yunxi said this, the Liu family immediately wilted. He agreed to the divorce because he didn't want to see the official, but Bai Yunxi kept poking their lungs, and they were so angry that they couldn't refute.
Father Liu clenched his fists, his face trembled, and after a while he spoke in a deep voice,
"Forget it, it is said that it is difficult for an official to judge family affairs. The affairs of our two families will not be sorted out in a short time. In this case, let's just regard the fate of the two children as over, and don't say anything else."
Listening to Father Liu's high-sounding tone, Bai Yunxi resisted the urge to roll her eyes and acquiesced.
The Liu family's affairs are suitable for a quick cut, and it is not good for their family to continue to argue with such a person.
As for the onlookers, she doesn't care what they think, but if she can make a person compromise after saying it out loud, he must be guilty.
The divorce was decided, and even if Liu Dalang was unwilling, he had to go to the town government office to handle the divorce procedures.
Speaking of the town government office, Bai Yunxi had to admire it. Although it was popular in this period that the imperial power did not extend beyond the county, considering that it was inconvenient for ordinary people to go to the county town, the county magistrate set up a town government office in each town.
Of course, the town government office was generally occupied by local landlords, and also the Baozheng and the elders designated by the county government office. The Baozheng assisted in collecting taxes, and the elders assisted in hunting down thieves.
It also included handling some neighborhood disputes, including stamping the divorce book.
When the two families appeared in the town government office, Zhang Baozheng happened to be in charge. Looking at the serious faces of the two families, he asked about the situation and wrote the divorce book on the spot.
