Chapter 628 : Worried About Gains and Losses
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Village chief, if you have questions, direct them to Su Xueqiang. He’s the one with the surname Su.”
When Su Xueqiang heard his name, anxiety immediately flashed across his face. “Don’t involve me. I’ve already divorced Chen Guihua. I feel disgusted whenever I see her. We have nothing to do with each other.”
Su Xueqiang openly acknowledged their divorce. They didn’t have a marriage certificate, a common practice in the village. In rural areas, holding a banquet and inviting relatives and friends to celebrate was sufficient for everyone to recognize a marriage.
For many, the marriage certificate was not as crucial as hosting a banquet.
Getting a marriage certificate without celebrating was often considered less committed.
Su Wen and Zhou Hengyang, for example, held a banquet when Su Xuewen was alive. So everyone acknowledged Zhou Hengyang as Su Wen’s husband. Their lack of a marriage certificate wasn’t due to neglect, they chose not to get the marriage certificate.
Su Xuewen had to register them in the household registration book to officially establish their relations.h.i.+p, listing them as husband and wife.
With Su Xueqiang declared his divorce from Chen Guihua, it meant they were no longer married. Chen Guihua had no choice but to regret not having a marriage certificate.
“You have no conscience.”
“How shameless!”
“Oh my G.o.d! In that case, I’ll bring my man to get the marriage certificate tomorrow.”
“I’ll go too.”
“Let’s go together.”
“If we all go, what if we run into Chen Guihua? Wouldn’t that be bad luck?”
“That’s right.”
Wives without a marriage certificate felt insecure, fearing their husbands might have a change of heart. Husbands worried about their wives running away with someone else. Zhou Hengyang was among those considering getting a marriage certificate immediately.
He and his wife had not obtained their marriage certificate yet, they needed to do it immediately, and the sooner, the better.
Initially concerned about the implications, Zhou Hengyang now fretted about letting go after consummating the marriage. He felt uneasy and feared his wife might disappear.
Or perhaps if Wen Wen discovered another side of him, it might frighten her.
Amidst these thoughts, Zhou Hengyang restrained himself. Li Youcai found the situation amusing but supported the villagers in applying for marriage certificates, considering it essential.
Embarra.s.sed and annoyed, Su Xueqiang refused to admit anything. “Anyway, I divorced Chen Guihua. Don’t involve me in this matter,” he declared before slipping away.
Other Su family members, not wanting to meddle or spend money, left quietly. People with different surnames also departed discreetly.
Helpless, Li Youcai watched as many left. It wasn’t the brigade headquarters’ matter, and he couldn’t force anyone. Su Wen and Zhou Hengyang, who had a.s.sisted him in the hospital, stayed. In the previous hospital emergency, it was thanks to the money they contributed that their life was saved. Both of them were alive, but more troubles followed, and no one from Chen Guihua’s maternal family inquired about her affairs.
They had donated the most last time, so Li Youcai hesitated to ask for more. He gave the village director a glance, who pretended not to notice. Eventually, Li Youcai approached Accountant Xu.
Accountant Xu held Su Wen in high regard due to recent events, making him confident in handling the situation.
