The three women inside the house immediately came out when they heard Bai Dazhu.

Old Lady Bai greeted Village Chief Li: “You’re here, have you eaten?”

Village Chief Li waved his hand: “It doesn’t matter, it’s important to finish this court matter first. They still need to confirm the documents. I’m telling you, after signing this form, you can’t withdraw, so try to consider this matter again.”

Mrs. Liu busily took the form and handed it to the old lady: “Niang, there is no need to consider, just sign.”

Old Lady Bai looked at Bai Dazhu and then looked at Bai Erzhu. She thought that, since Bai Erzhu wanted to separate, and doesn’t want to support her, she would rather send him away and get those 20 silver coins.

Old Lady Bai reached out her hand and took the form that was being handled by Mrs. Liu. Village Chief Li, who’s standing on the side asked: “Who is going to join the army?”

Mrs. Liu smiled and said: “Naturally, it’s Erzhu and Fugui. Dazhu originally wanted to go, but his legs are still not in good condition. Dabao wanted to get married, so he couldn’t go. Xiaofeng still has school, it would be a waste if he to stop, right?”

Village Chief Li smiled and nodded his head, but he sighed deep inside his heart for Bai Erzhu. At first, it was Bai Sanzhu and Zhao Lan, now it’s Bai Erzhu’s turned.

Village Chief Li said to Old Lady Bai: “Since it’s Erzhu and Fugui who will join, let them sign the form.”

Mrs. Liu only has the money in her eyes, whoever signs the form doesn’t matter to her: “Well, we will let them sign it, but give the money to me.”

Mrs. Liu’s stretched out her hand in front of Village Chief Li. Village Chief Li was still considering whether he should give the money. On the other hand, Bai Erzhu finished his porridge.

Bai Erzhu stood up from the bamboo chair and said to Village Chief Li: “Village Chief, I and my son will not join the army, so we will not sign. Whoever wants to join, let them sign that form. And also, I am planning to separate. Village Chief, please help me with this matter.”

Village Chief Li was shocked, didn’t they said everything was good?

Village Chief Li asked Old Lady Bai: “What is going on? Does anyone in your family want to join the army?”

Mrs. Liu quickly pushed the old lady’s arm: “Niang, you have to say something.”

Old Lady Bai coldly looked at Bai Erzhu: “Right now, you haven’t separated yet to the family. And in this family, I am the head. Since I am the head of the family, I have the final say in this matter. And I am telling you to go, so you have to go.”

Bai Erzhu sneered: “Is that so? Then if you have the ability, tie me up and send me away!”

Seeing the situation, Village Chief Li said to the old lady: “This thing cannot be forced. If they don’t want to go, then there is no way.”

Mrs. Liu busily butted in: “This can’t be done. You said everything is good, how did you suddenly change your mind?”

Mrs. Zhang walked in front of Mrs. Liu and coldly asked: “What is good? Who told you everything is good? Did we agree? If you want the money that much, then let your husband and son go. Why are you sending someone else husband and son? Who do you think you are?”

Mrs.Liu’s body trembled in anger: “You, listening to your tone, do you still see me as your first sister-in-law? Are there still the rules of the family in your eyes?”

Mrs. Zhang coldly said: “Rules? Are you in charge of the rules? Liu Guihua, I’m telling you, my husband is not Bai Sanzhu, and I am not Zhao Lan, for you to order us around.”

“In this matter, whether it’s my husband or my son, they will not join the army. You should extinguish this idea in your heart. Anyway, today we will separate.”
