Chapter 1136: Writing a Divorce Letter
Gu Xiaoxi was stunned. He looked up at her in confusion.
“What is it?”
Gu Yundong rolled her eyes. “You’re going to get another wife. Shouldn’t you settle the first one first?”
The first one? Wasn’t Hong Xiaoni taken care of? Why…
Gu Xiaoxi suddenly reacted. “You mean, a divorce letter??”
“What else could it be?”
Gu Xiaoxi smiled sheepishly and quickly took the brush and paper.
This time, it wasn’t a charcoal pen. It was a brush that Gu Yundong had borrowed from Patriarch Chang. After all, it was a divorce letter. It had to be more formal.
Gu Xiaoxi was literate. After all, he had grown up following Gu Dajiang. He could write basic words.
It was just that in the past, he did not have the conditions to practice calligraphy in the Gu family, so the handwriting was a little ugly. It was like a dog crawling, and it really hurt his eyes.
However, when Chang Yaya saw it, her face was filled with surprise. “I didn’t expect you to know so many words.”
Gu Xiaoxi instantly felt embarrassed. “It’s… it’s alright.” After a pause, he added, “If you want to learn, I’ll teach you in the future.”
“I can learn too?”
“Sure. My brother said that women should learn to read so that they won’t be easily deceived.”
Chang Yaya’s eyes seemed to glow. Of course, she wanted to be literate, but in Great Rock Village, there were not many boys who could afford to go to school, let alone girls.
Facing Chang Yaya’s adoring gaze, Gu Xiaoxi’s heart inexplicably… beat faster.
Gu Yundong rolled her eyes as she watched from the side. Youngest Uncle, you should practice your handwriting first. Don’t lead people astray. When the time comes, people will think that normal handwriting is like yours.
After he finished writing, Gu Xiaoxi heaved a sigh of relief.
He planned to hand this divorce letter to Hong Xiaoni personally. He would treat it as settling things between them.
Chang Yaya was still at the Gu residence, and Gu Yundong did not go out. Therefore, Shao Qingyuan accompanied Gu Xiaoxi to the Zhou residence.
Along the way, they encountered many villagers. Some were from the Zhou family, some were from the Chang family, and some were outsiders. All of them looked at the two of them with resentment, joy, and curiosity.
In the past, Gu Xiaoxi didn’t have much of a presence in Great Rock Village. When he met those strong and unreasonable people from the two races, he would almost always avoid them. Now, it didn’t matter anymore. He faced all kinds of gazes very calmly.
When they arrived at Zhou Jingui’s house, before they could enter the house, they could vaguely hear cries and curses coming from inside. “It’s all your fault, you shameless thing. You caused us to be in such a sorry state. Why don’t you die? Why don’t you die?”
“Why don’t you take a look at yourself? Do you think that everyone wants you? Now, Young Master Qiu doesn’t want you anymore. Even Gu Xiaoxi doesn’t like you anymore. What hope do you have in life? You don’t have a father or a mother. You don’t even have a husband. Do you believe that when you go out in the future, others will spit at you? If I were you, I would jump into the river.”
“Back then, so many people died in the famine. Why didn’t you?”
Gu Xiaoxi, who was outside the door, had a complicated look in his eyes. He sighed inwardly.
Shao Qingyuan glanced at him. “Have you softened your heart?”
“I’m not soft-hearted. I just didn’t expect it to come to this.”
At the thought that she had set him up and almost burned him to death, his heart could not soften. It was as cold as iron.
“Let’s go in,” Shao Qingyuan said.
Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the divorce letter in her hand, nodded, and strode into the Zhou family’s courtyard.
