14 013: Bridge is bridge, road is road_1

Ni Cuihua wept woefully as she recounted all the grievances she had suffered over the years in the Mu Family.

She was truly wronged.

The old Village Chief was also a Mu, and he didn't want to blow things out of proportion, "Yangyang's mum, you can't just go around saying things like that. You claim Yangyang's dad has someone else on the side. Do you have any evidence? This couple and their daily life, bumps on the road are normal. Don't mention divorce at every turn, it can hurt people!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Cuihua felt a chill in her heart.

It seemed the old Village Chief wasn't going to help her.

Just when she was about to give up, Ni Yang glanced at her, indicating with her eyes that she should continue speaking.

Ni Cuihua seemed encouraged, wept even more miserably, "Village Chief, I know you share the same last name as the old Mu Family! But you can't favor Mu Jinbao just because of that! You are the Village Chief, the most respected person in this village. If even you won't stand up for me, who else can I turn to? My three discarded children and the fact that Mu Jinbao got another woman pregnant are not false! Look, that shameless woman is right here!"

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

On any other day, Ni Cuihua would never have dared to utter such words, but today was different.

Because she knew that if they continued to stay in the Mu Family, they, the mother and daughter trio, would be doomed.

The Village Chief flinched at her words.

The city officials were still standing behind him! Ni Cuihua was throwing such a big hat on him, could he bear it?

The old Village Chief immediately helped Ni Cuihua up, with a kind smile on his face, "Yangyang's mum, don't worry! I'm not the kind of person who covers up for his own kin. I will deal with this matter impartially!"

Upon hearing this, Ni Cuihua was so moved, she cried, "Thank you, Village Chief! Thank you, Village Chief!"

Mu Jinbao wasn't happy, he stopped referring to the Village Chief by his title, "Uncle, don't just listen to this woman's ramblings! She's spouting nonsense! Show me the law that says I can't beat my own mother-in-law and daughter? If you've nothing else, I suggest you go back. Next time, I will bring some meat for you as a token of respect."

The old Village Chief had enjoyed a lot of meat from Mu Jinbao, or else Mu Jinbao wouldn't have dared to blatantly bring Li Shu back home.

Upon hearing this, the old Village Chief's face darkened, "Mu Jinbao, you clearly know what you've done! Now Comrade Ni Cuihua wants to divorce you. I'll approve it! After all, you guys never even had a marriage certificate. I'll give you a proof, you come over to press your fingerprints, and then you sever ties! No more dealings with each other!"

This Mu Jinbao really dares to say anything!

If he continued this way, he would no longer be the Village Chief!

Mu Jinbao looked at the Village Chief incredulously, somewhat bewildered. The Village Chief who had always been on his side was suddenly on Ni Cuihua's side today!

Divorcing was impossible for him!

Ni Yang could be sold for a good price now, and Ni Cuihua was like the old ox at home!

If he lost these two people, it would be a huge loss for the Mu Family!

"I won't divorce! Why should I divorce?! Even if you beat me to death, I won't divorce!" Mu Jinbao began acting like a rogue.

The old Lady Mu also played rogue and laid down on the ground, "Want a divorce? Not unless you step over my corpse!"

"Alright, don't want to divorce? Then we'll just call the police!" Suddenly, the man in the suit spoke up. Then he turned to his assistant, "Xiaozhao, tell Comrade Mu Jinbao what the consequences would be if he refuses to divorce."

Xiaozhao stepped forward and said, "Based on the evidence we have at the moment, Comrade Mu Jinbao is suspected of attempted murder and intentional homicide! If these charges are added up, he could be shot!"

It's a crackdown period now, and the threat of execution is not a joke.

Mu Jinbao turned pale, "Who the hell are you! Just because you say I killed, that means I did!"

The old Village Chief responded coldly, "You better shut up! This man is the assistant to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee!"

The assistant to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee?

Why on earth would the assistant to the Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee be here?

Xiaozhao was the secretary's assistant, and the man who was talking to Xiaozhao was Yao Wei, the secretary himself.

Yao Wei was sent by Zhou Changzheng.

Because Zhou Changzheng was seriously injured, they could only send Yao Wei to make the trip.

Mu Jinbao shuddered in fear, "Uncle, please, don't joke with me."

What on earth could the secretary of the municipal party committee be doing in their dirt-poor village?

Before the Village Chief could speak, Xiaozhao continued: "Mu Jinbao, you were just about to attack your daughter with an axe. If it wasn't for the timely intervention of Village Chief Mu, your daughter would be dead. That's attempted murder, and we're all witnesses. Plus, the three children you abandoned all died unnaturally. That's deliberate murder, and Ni Cuihua is the witness. As for the affair, Comrade Li Shu is pregnant. Need I say more?"

Hearing this, Li Shu was terrified, cold sweat trickling down her forehead.

If they really reported him, Mu Jinbao wouldn't be the only one sentenced to death by firing squad.

She would be an accomplice.

The old Village Chief continued: "Mu Jinbao, think about it carefully. Would you rather be shot, or get a divorce?"

Mrs. Mu was startled, and quickly stood up from the ground, "Divorce! Jinbao, we'll get a divorce!"

At this point, of course, life was more important.

Furthermore, if they divorced, the one to suffer would be Ni Cuihua.

She's a woman, and she would have no choice but to starve out there!

When that time comes, it'll be Ni Cuihua who will regret.

Mu Jinbao was scared out of his wits, death by firing squad! How could he not be afraid?

"Okay, mom, I'll listen to you."

The old Village Chief finally relaxed, continuing: "Now that you've decided to divorce, I'll issue you a divorce certificate."

Although Ni Cuihua and Mu Jinbao hadn't gotten their marriage certificate, the two had lived together for so long and had two children.

To avoid any future complications, a certificate was necessary.

Ni Yang stepped forward at the right time, "My sister and I want to go with mom."

Ni Cuihua finally came to her senses, "Right! The two kids are coming with me!"

"No! I don't agree!" Mrs. Mu said angrily, "These two children are from the Mu Family! Why should they go with that slut Ni Cuihua!"

The old Village Chief continued: "Madam, currently Mu Jinbao is the one at fault, he has no right to the children! We must respect Comrade Ni Cuihua and the children's opinions."

"No! The children belong to our Mu Family! If that slut Ni Cuihua wants to leave, let her leave by herself! She won't take anything from our Mu Family!"

At this moment, Yao Wei continued speaking.

"Xiaozhao, we should call the police, let the murderer taste the bullet!"

Old Mrs. Mu's face turned white, and she was instantly silenced.

The Old Village Chief finished the certificate and stamped the village's official seal on it, "Ni Cuihua, Mu Jinbao, you two press your fingerprints. Once these are pressed, you two will have no relation at all."

Ni Cuihua pressed her fingerprint without hesitation!

Mu Jinbao was reluctant to press, but thinking his life was at stake, he still pressed it.

This divorce certificate had three copies, two for Ni Cuihua and Mu Jinbao, and one for the village to keep.

After pressing the fingerprint, Ni Cuihua went to the room to carry the children out.

Ni Yang bowed to the Village Chief and Yao Wei, "Secretary, Chief, thank you for today!"

The Village Chief laughed awkwardly, not knowing if he could still retain his position after today.

Yao Wei smiled and said: "If an official doesn't serve the people, they might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes, this is what should be done."
