Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 82

Chapter 82: From Now On, We’ll Go Our Separate Ways

Old Mrs. Luo was afraid that Luo Qiuju would say something to anger Song Chu and change her mind.

She immediately pulled Luo Qiuju back, held her hand, and coaxed, “This is what you chose, what are you afraid of? You still have your maternal family.”

“You’ll have nephews to take care of you in the future. Your surname is Luo. Only the descendants of the Old Luo family share your roots. You and your younger brother are the closest to each other.”

It had been many years since her mother had spoken to her so gently. Luo Qiuju was moved by this affection. “Mom, don’t worry, I won’t let Little Brother go to jail.”

Then she looked at Song Chu, “I’ve made my choice, when are you going to the Public Security Bureau?”

Her words also completely chilled and disappointed Song Jianjun, but it was within his expectations, so he could bear it. He was already prepared to separate anyway.

Song Daniu, standing not far away, had red eyes. Her mother had indeed chosen her uncle over them.

But she wasn’t particularly sad. After all, in her memory, her mother, besides favoring her younger brother, always made her work. She would even hit her to vent when she was in a bad mood.

Song Daniu, who was already sensible and mature for her age, after witnessing her mother’s choice, withdrew all her longing for her mother. This mother was no longer worth her expectations.

She had chosen not to have them first, and in the future, she wouldn’t want her either.

Song Chu naturally noticed the resolute look on Song Daniu’s face. She felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

It was a bit cruel to make a child who wasn’t even ten years old bear this. But if Luo Qiuju continued to act tyrannically in the family, Daniu might become the next brainwashed “brother-supporting demon,” sacrificing her own marriage for her brother.

Song Chu saw that Luo Qiuju and her mother were very anxious. “If you can’t wait, then let’s go to the county town together now.”

They had come down from the mountain early today, so they could still make it to the county town by tractor.

To prevent the Luo family from causing more trouble, it was better to settle things immediately.

Old Mrs. Luo and Luo Qiuju didn’t object. They were eager to bring Luo Lao Si back.

So the Song family and they took the tractor to the county town together.

The two comrades from the Public Security Bureau, Zhang Zhenxing and Liu Rong, happened to be there. Song Chu explained the situation to them.

The two couldn’t help but cast a sympathetic look at Song Jianjun. It was truly bad luck to have such a wife.

Luo Lao Si’s situation was serious in a way, but also not so serious in another. Whether he went to jail or not depended on the victim’s attitude.

In addition, Huo Kai had already spoken to them. If the Song and Luo families agreed, the previous incident could be classified as a civil dispute and resolved through negotiation.

Zhang Zhenxing first gave the Luo mother and daughter a lecture, telling them not to go to the Song family’s house to make trouble again, or they would all be arrested and locked up.

Old Mrs. Luo was fierce in the village, but she was very timid in front of the Public Security comrades. She nodded and bowed repeatedly.

After this lesson, they really didn’t dare to do it again.

“Comrade Song, how do you want to write the agreement?” On the other side, Liu Rong looked at Song Chu and asked.

Song Chu smiled and said, “Comrade Liu, could you please find three sheets of paper and a pen? I’ll write it. But after I finish writing, I’ll need your help to witness it.”

“No problem, we are all witnesses.”

Liu Rong had a good impression of the beautiful and polite Song Chu, especially after understanding the whole story. He felt that the Luo family was too much.

Liu Rong found paper and a pen. Song Chu quickly wrote three copies of the agreement and read it aloud to Luo Qiuju and her mother.

There were three main points.

First, from now on, Luo Qiuju and Song Jianjun voluntarily separate and sever their marital relationship. Hereafter, their marriage and affairs are unrelated;

Second, regardless of what happens to Luo Qiuju or Song Jianjun in the future, they voluntarily agree not to pester each other;

Third, Song Jianjun has custody of Song Daniu and Song Erwa. Luo Qiuju can visit or fulfill her motherly duties in the future, but she is not allowed to interfere with the two children’s lives and their future marriages.

◈◈◈

Supplementary clause: If Luo Qiuju fulfills her motherly responsibilities before the two children become adults, such as providing financial support or frequently visiting and buying them things, then the two children will also take care of Luo Qiuju in her old age.

If Luo Qiuju does not care for or visit the children and fails to fulfill her motherly responsibilities, then the two children have the choice of whether or not to support her in her old age. Luo Qiuju cannot force them.

This was also Song Chu’s consideration for the two children’s future, not wanting them to be controlled by their so-called mother, Luo Qiuju.

After reading the agreement, Luo Qiuju refused.

“They are my children, why shouldn’t they take care of me in my old age? This won’t do.” To her, the two children came from her belly, so they had to take care of her in her old age.

Song Chu raised her eyebrows, “It doesn’t say they won’t take care of you, but it depends on how you behave.”

“A kind mother raises filial children. If the mother is not kind, what right do you have to demand filial piety from your children? Whether they support you in your old age depends entirely on your actions in the next ten-plus years.”

She said coldly, “If you don’t agree, then Luo Lao Si can continue to stay in jail.”

Luo Qiuju was furious, “You!”

Old Mrs. Luo saw how arrogant Song Chu was, but the Public Security comrades didn’t intervene. She was a little afraid and worried that Song Chu might change her mind. She pulled Luo Qiuju back.

She whispered in her ear, “What’s there to worry about? You can coax them in the future. You are their mother. Besides, if they don’t support you, your nephew will.”

“Get your fourth brother out first, we’ll talk about the rest later.”

Luo Qiuju agreed aggrievedly, thinking that she was the two children’s mother. She could coax and manipulate them later, and Song Chu couldn’t do anything about it.

Next, Song Jianjun, Tang Feng, and Song Youfu from the Old Song family stepped forward and pressed their fingerprints.

The Luo mother and daughter were also required by Song Chu to press their fingerprints. Then she gave them a copy of the agreement.

She handed another copy to Liu Rong, “Comrade Liu, please keep this agreement on file at the Public Security Bureau. If the Luo family goes back on their word in the future, we can sue them.”

These words were mainly for the Luo mother and daughter to hear.

“No problem. If they dare to go back on their word, you can come and sue them. I’ll keep this with Luo Lao Si’s case file.” Liu Rong smiled and took it, putting it in a document bag.

“Thank you, Comrade Liu and Comrade Zhang. You’ve been a great help. You are truly good comrades who serve the people diligently.” Song Chu stood up and said gratefully.

Zhang Zhenxing and Liu Rong were rarely praised like this. They felt very good. “It’s our duty to serve the people.”

After the agreement was signed, Luo Lao Si was brought out.

When he saw Old Mrs. Luo, his eyes turned red. “Mom, you’re finally here.”

He regretted it so much. He really shouldn’t have gone to the Song family to pick a fight. Song Chu, that tigress, was too ruthless. She actually wanted him to go to jail.

Although he knew he could be released because Luo Qiuju chose to separate, he also resented her.

If it weren’t for her, they wouldn’t have gone to the Song family to make trouble.

Old Mrs. Luo looked at her haggard and disheveled son. Her heart ached. “My son, you’ve suffered. When we get back, Mom will make you something good to eat.”

Song Chu felt a little disgusted seeing this mother-son scene. “Let’s go. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways.”
