The next day, Tian Guihua brought in the food. The three girls wouldn't leave, insisting on staying with their mother. She had to bring the meal into the room, but she found Zhou Shi was already awake.

"Auntie!" Zhou Da Jie weakly tried to get up.

Tien Guihua quickened her pace, placing the porridge and salted vegetables on a low cabinet nearby. "Don't get up so quickly, the doctor said you need to rest properly."

Aunt Zhou was stubborn, and she still managed to sit up, even though it pulled at her wounds. But she didn't cry out in pain.

"Auntie, I really appreciate your help. I...I don't even know what to say."

Even if Aunt Zhou wanted to leave now, she couldn't.

If you go back to the Qiu family, there's only one way out—death.

Tian Guihua looked at her, "Child, I know what happened. Auntie still has to ask you one question, don't you want to be with Qiu Shengrong anymore?"

Zhou Da Jie understood Tian Gui Hua's meaning, "Auntie, we can't go through with this. It doesn't matter if I die, but I can't let my daughter suffer the same way I did. The man they chose for Xiao Yun has tortured several wives to death!"

Then came a single sentence from Tien Kuei Hua: "Since you don't want to continue, and the fault isn't yours, then let's not be afraid. After dinner, Chi-Chi and Tai Jin will go and deliver the divorce papers."

"Sister-in-law, please trouble Dajin and younger sister, my third sister gave birth? How is she doing?" Zhou big sister woke up and also heard her daughters say about Zhou's childbirth.

"It was all for me that my little sister gave birth early."

"You're sisters, you're family. If something happens to you, she has no reason to ignore it. She and her children are doing well." Tian Guihua smiled.

After the meal, Fu Jiujiu finished writing the divorce papers and had Zhou Big Sister press her handprint on it. Then she went to Qiu's house with Fu Dagjin.

"Why don't you bring your fourth older brother along too?" Tian Guihua was afraid that the two of them would be at a disadvantage, thinking that more people meant more care.

Fu Jiujiu shook her head and refused, "Mother, you don't know, Big Brother was so brave yesterday, he was amazing."

Fu Dagjin felt a little embarrassed being called out like that. He was also a bit flustered, “I’m not as good as you are.”

The siblings arrived at the Qiu family's house by carriage. There were a lot of people gathered at the gate, making quite a spectacle, all waiting for them.

Fu Dajin's heart was pounding, but he straightened his back nonetheless. When it came down to it, he wasn't afraid to fight.

Fu Cijiu became even more nonchalant. This group of people combined wouldn't even be enough for her to take one pack of medicine. What was there to be afraid of?

The little dumpling got off the car, strutting confidently into the courtyard.

The residual pressure of her aura still lingered, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for her. A subtle smile played on Fu Jiujiu's lips.

Old Mrs. Qiu pointed at the siblings and roared, "You really dare to come!"

Fu JiuJiu raised an eyebrow, chin lifted, a smile on her face that was both wanton and arrogant. "Why aren't you coming? Do you want to fight me? Come on then."

She stuck out her chubby little finger at the men nearby, wiggling it. “One-on-one or a group fight?”

The man took two steps back in fright. This girl is creepy!

"Coward!" Fu Jiujiu scoffed, glancing at the man.

She turned her head to look at Qiu Shengrong, "This is the divorce paper, Zhou big sister has already stamped it, are you pressing it yourself, or shall I help you?"

Qiu Shengrong lost two molars and a front tooth, his mouth is still swollen, and he speaks with a lisp. "I... I won't agree to that, what divorce, it should be a letter of separation, how can you say it's me who doesn't want her anymore."

Although a leave of absence could also give Zhou Da Jie her freedom, Fu JiuJiu thought Zhou Da Jie hadn't done anything wrong and shouldn't be subjected to such humiliation. She felt it was unfair.

"That said, you don't want to do it yourself? Then I'll do it for you." Fu Jiu Jiu's smile was warm, but Qiu Sheng Rong felt a chill down his spine.

"You...you...don't come any closer. I'm telling you, you are abusing your power. Even if you are a county lord, you can't break up our marriage. Besides, I've already sent a letter to my cousin. Just wait and see."

"Fu-chuu-chuu blinked her big eyes, "So then? Still want me to give you a massage?"

"Tut tut tut... At this age, you can't even manage a simple handprint!" Fu Jiujiu shook her head helplessly and stepped closer to Qiu Shengrong.

"I... I tell you, we are not afraid of you. My cousin is highly favored by the prince, and in the future... when the prince ascends the throne, his position will be even greater."

"Which prince?" Fu Jiujiu asked.

"The Fifth Prince."

Fu Jiujiu let out a giggle, "So it's Fifth Brother? Hmph, hmph, then I'll tell him to go and get your relative promoted to an official position quickly."

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, that jade pendant from yesterday was given to me by my older brother, the fifth prince. It turns out the flood swept away the Dragon King Temple."

The Qiu family said this little girl was some kind of monster, what wasn't she afraid of?

They also couldn't tell if Fujuju was telling the truth or not. They just wanted to scare her, but it didn't work.

Fu Jiujiu dropped the divorce paper and said, "You're too dirty, I don't want to touch you. Just get out, I'm in a hurry to go home and play with my nephew!"

Si Pang has been hiding for ages, and if I don't go find him soon, that little stinker will surely be crying with his mouth wide open.

"I... said, it's a divorce letter. I divorced her."

"Are you deaf? I said, it's a divorce paper." Fu JiuJiu said.

Qiu Shengrong was taken aback by her sharp gaze, "Well... well then, the divorce papers are fine, but she has to give me money, five hundred taels. Otherwise, not even one daughter can be taken away."

"Tsk tsk tsk, 500 taels? Your house has no mirror or water? You're so broke you can't even afford to urinate? Go take a look at yourself. 500 taels of silver? You really dare say that?"

Fu Jiujiao followed her mother for three years, and her mouth is also merciless.

Qiu Shengrong conceded again, "Well... after all these years, the things she took back to her family should be returned."

"What? After marrying Zhou Big Sister, you've become spoiled and don't do any work anymore? Do you even have the shame to say that? Do you think anyone would believe you?"

"That's right, elder sister is hardworking. With so much land in your family, you rarely hire workers. It's all elder sister who's busy." Fu Dajin said angrily.

"Well... if there isn't five hundred taels, then there must be at least three hundred. Otherwise, I won't sign."

"Then just kill him." Fu Jiaojiao said coldly.

"That's three hundred taels!" Qiu Shengrong was so scared his voice trembled.

"I have three slaps for you. Would you like them? I can also give you three hundred."

“You… you’ve gone too far.” When Qiu Pozi saw her son defeated, she was ready to take the field herself.

Fu Jiujiu curled her lips, "You dare to bully Sister Zhou? Let me tell you, stop glaring at me. I am the County Lord, a Second Rank official. If you dare to touch me, it's equivalent to assaulting an imperial official. In that case, even if you beat me to death, it would be considered just."

She doesn't understand the law, anyway, no one else does. She just scares them.

The old woman immediately cowered in fear.

She's a high-ranking official of the Zheng Er Pin rank, her distant nephew couldn't possibly hold such a high position.
