Chapter 73: Only in this way can the problem be solved once and for all.
In this era, most village marriages do not go to the city to get a marriage certificate. The wedding ceremony between the two parties is considered a marriage.
This is also why so many educated youths abandoned their husbands and children after returning to the city.
Many people did not have this concept when Song Chu said this.
“No marriage certificate, so no need for a divorce?” Someone asked.
Song Chu replied, “According to the normal procedure, a couple should go to the county town to get a marriage certificate when they get married. Only then are they legally husband and wife.”
“My Big Brother and Big Sister-in-Law did not go to the county town to get a marriage certificate, so they are not legally husband and wife and are not protected by law. They are just considered to be in a cohabiting relationship. Now we are unilaterally requesting to separate, so there is no divorce or not.”
“Just send her away directly.” Divorce is very rare in this era, but it’s not unheard of.
After listening to her explanation, everyone realized that only with a marriage certificate were they a legal couple.
“Then send her away, and there’s no need to go to the city for a divorce.” The elders on the Song family’s side strongly supported this.
It would be too disgraceful to keep such a shrew in the village.
Luo Qiuju was also dumbfounded. It was the first time she knew that this could be done.
She was a little at a loss and didn’t know what to do. She didn’t want to be sent back.
Just then, Luo Lao Si’s wife pulled her from behind and whispered something in her ear.
Luo Qiuju’s eyes lit up, and she was full of energy again. She looked at Song Chu with a sneer.
“If there is no marriage certificate, it is not a legal couple. Then what Song Jianjun did to me is hooliganism. If you dare to send me back and don’t agree to the conditions my family mentioned before, I will go to the Public Security Bureau and report him.”
“…” The villagers were shocked by her words.
If one was accused of hooliganism, the severe punishment could be the death penalty. This woman was too vicious.
Luo Qiuju’s face showed a bit of smugness. She felt that this handle was better to grasp, and Song Chu had offered it to her on a silver platter.
Song Lao Da looked up at her. This time, he was not only disappointed but also felt a little cold in his heart.
He was still thinking about sending her back to her parents’ home and giving her some money and food every month as a subsidy, but she stabbed him in the back like this.
Song Chu was not surprised that Luo Qiuju would say such a thing. She could tell that this Big Sister-in-Law’s two younger brothers and sisters-in-law were full of bad ideas. She was also deliberately testing her like this.
To see how Luo Qiuju would choose, and this woman still chose to stab her Big Brother in the back.
“You married my Big Brother voluntarily. You not only received a high bride price but also held a wedding banquet and had children. The whole village can be witnesses. This is not hooliganism. At most, it’s a lack of legal knowledge. Even if you go to the capital to report it, my family is not afraid.”
Song Chu swept a glance at Luo Qiuju’s two younger brothers and sisters-in-law with a half-smile and said to her, “Your parents and two younger brothers didn’t get a marriage certificate when they got married, right? So if my Big Brother is a hooligan, then your two younger brothers and your father are all hooligans. Let’s arrest them and take them to the Public Security Bureau together.”
“And if you say that, then most of the men in our village and your village are all hooligans. Do you want to report them all?”
The men who came to watch the excitement: “…”
If Luo Qiuju really succeeded in reporting, wouldn’t they all become hooligans? The most poisonous heart is a woman’s heart!
“That’s right, we can testify for Song Lao Da. You married him voluntarily and received the bride price. It has nothing to do with hooliganism.”
“Yes, if you want to report Song Lao Da, then arrest your father and your brothers first.” The villagers said angrily.
“…” Luo family’s people were all stunned. They only thought about threatening and manipulating the Song family, but they forgot that their own family members also didn’t have marriage certificates.
For a moment, they suddenly didn’t know what to say.
◈◈◈
The elders of the Song family felt that this had become too ugly. They said to Tang Min, “Tie them all up and send them back to Luo Family Village. Our Old Song family can’t afford Song Youfu’s daughter-in-law. She is not allowed to return to the village in the future.”
Tang Min was about to agree when Song Chu spoke first, “Don’t send them back to Luo Family Village yet. I’ve already asked someone to report it to the police. Now none of them can leave. Let’s wait for the comrades from the Public Security Bureau to come.”
Before she left the oil pressing workshop, she asked her cousin Tang Youhua to hurry up and ride his bike to the county Public Security Bureau to report the case.
“Ah!” Not only Luo family’s people were stunned, but the villagers were also stunned.
According to the previous statement, Luo Qiuju’s accusation of Song Lao Da’s hooliganism would definitely not be established, and she would not dare to report it. Why did Song, the Village Bully, still report it to the police?
Song Chu looked at Luo family’s people with a sneer, “Now it’s not that you want to report us, but that I want to report you.”
“Report you for colluding with these hoodlums to try to act indecently towards me.”
“Report you for unreasonably coming to our home to make trouble and for threatening and using violence against me and my family in order to get into the breeding farm to work. This is already a crime and you will go to jail.”
She then asked the villagers, “Everyone saw these people trying to touch me just now and trying to use violence to force our family to agree to let them into the breeding farm, right?”
“When the comrades from the Public Security Bureau come later, everyone must help testify.”
She added another sentence, “Otherwise, after we send Luo Qiuju back, in a few days, Luo family’s people will come to make trouble again. People will think that our village is easy to bully. So my family will definitely not let this go, and we can’t let the village lose face and let other villages think we are cowards.”
Only in this way can the problem be solved once and for all. Otherwise, although there is no need for a divorce, Big Brother and Luo Qiuju are still considered husband and wife. If she is sent back, she can still bring people to make trouble, which will be endless.
If the police are called to arrest them, Luo Lao Si and others will have broken the law and will be locked up.
Luo family will inevitably come to beg them again. Their family can then write a separation agreement, get custody of the children, and have Luo family’s people all put their fingerprints on it. Then they will leave a copy at the Public Security Bureau as a record.
In this way, Luo family’s people will not dare to make trouble again, otherwise they will have to go to the Public Security Bureau. With the separation agreement, Luo Qiuju will no longer have the right to return to their home.
If her Big Brother remarries in the future, it will have nothing to do with Luo Qiuju.
The villagers were stunned. They didn’t expect Song Chu to make such a big move.
People with education are indeed different. Awesome!
“We saw it. Our whole village will testify for you.” Tang Qing and others took the lead and said.
The other villagers also said, “Yes, yes, we all saw it. These people are hooligans, and Old Luo family’s people are violent and threatening.”
As for the fact that these people were beaten to the ground by Song Chu, they directly ignored it. They only needed to testify that these people came to make trouble.
And Song Chu was right. Luo family’s people dared to come to their village to make trouble. If they didn’t take some tough measures, people outside would think that the people of Xiaba Village were easy to bully.
They wanted to let it go just like that? No way, they didn’t agree.
People nowadays are still very afraid of the Public Security Bureau. When Luo family’s people heard that Song Chu had already sent someone to report the case to the Public Security Bureau, they were all frightened.
Those big men who were still in pain were even more frightened. Although they were not trying to be hooligans before, they did reach out to pull Song Chu. With the villagers testifying, it was possible to say that they were being hooligans.
“Quick, quick, run!” Several people panicked and got up to run.
This time, Song Chu didn’t need to do anything. Song Lao Er and Song Lao Si led the villagers to surround them and prevent them from leaving.
