As soon as the first lunar month ended, the weather warmed up suddenly because this year the New Year fell in February; hence, once we passed the first month, it was already March, and the temperature rose quite quickly.
However, this place is not in the southern Guannan; it’s located in the northern Guabei, where the weather still carries a chill, and the knife-like winds are still quite biting.
Li Xianglu is still wearing her cotton-padded jacket, as the weather is still cold, and she fears that taking it off might lead to a cold.
A few days ago, Ge Sanmei came over, but she dared not enter the house. She stood at the door cursing and making a scene, accusing Li Xianglu of letting some wild man throw her own brother into the river.
It goes without saying that this ’wild man’ referred to none other than Qin Xi.
But it wasn’t long before Li Dafu, accompanied by a few sturdy women, came and dragged the troublemaker away.
At the beginning of March, a rumor spread around the village that Li Erfu had taken Ge Sanmei to the county to get a divorce certificate. Li Xianglu was somewhat curious, knowing Ge Sanmei’s temperament, she would never agree so readily, and wondered how Li Erfu managed to accomplish this.
It wasn’t two days before Li Jianqing came and relayed the details of the event.
Li Erfu insisted on getting a divorce and obtaining the divorce certificate. Ge Sanmei was unwilling, but after making a fuss for a good number of days, she finally compromised—on the condition that Li Erfu give her two hundred jin of grain.
In an unexpected turn, Li Erfu agreed and immediately handed over two hundred jin of cornmeal. Their household didn’t receive a lot to begin with, and with this, they would be hard-pressed to make it last until July.
Yet, with the divorce, Li Erfu’s household registration was completely separated from Ge Sanmei’s. Now Li Erfu and Li Jianqing share one registration, while Ge Sanmei is registered with the eldest and the second, the advantage being that they could have their own contracted land come spring.
