Chapter 204: A Big Game

Unless the Hua family could offer a substantial dowry, the Yang family would not easily agree to a divorce. Hua Zhi was prepared for this, but she could only accept a divorce, a written document of mutual separation, not a letter of dismissal.

After comforting her anxious and regretful Second Aunt, Hua Zhi went to find her Fourth Aunt, hoping to discuss this matter with her.

"Is she really determined and will not regret it?"

"I think so. It should be Sui'an giving her courage." Looking at the small child in the arms of the Fourth Aunt, Hua Zhi reached out to play with him and said, "I only know that divorce is allowed in Daqing Law but I don't know what to do. Does the Fourth Aunt know?"

Wu shi frowned slightly, "I know some, but the initiative is still in the hands of the man. The Yang family may not readily agree to the divorce."

"That's what I'm worried about, but we have to try."

"Do you need me to go to the Yang family?"

"In theory, it should be my mother who goes, but if she really goes, she might flood the Yang family, so it's better to trouble the Fourth Aunt to go."

Wu shi chuckled, "You can't say that about your own mother."

"I'm just telling the truth. At that time, let Suyun Mama accompany you."

Suyun Mama represented the old lady, even though the old lady was no longer here, she had her pride, especially since she had relied on the Hua family before, she had to give some face, and if the other party didn't even want to save face, then she would have no choice but to do so.

So what if they were shameless?

Who would be afraid of whom?

Hua Zhi calmly outlined a few strategies in her mind to deal with shameless people, but she didn't show any sign of it on her face. She then asked about another matter, "How is the relationship between the Fourth Aunt and your maternal family now?"

Wu shi paused, "Why do you ask this? Is there something that the Wu family can help with?"

"It's not really asking for help, just mutual benefit. I remember that Matriarch Wu was intentionally trying to distance herself from the Hua family before, what is her attitude now?"

Wu shi remained silent and did not speak, she had some understanding of Zhi'er and knew that if she said mutual benefit, then it must be genuine, but when she thought of the attitude of her family, she couldn't help but feel a chill, remembering the endless love and care she received in her family was like a dream.

But, after all, she was surnamed Wu!

Wu shi smiled bitterly, "What do you want to inform me of? I can send someone to tell them."

Hua Zhi's fingers slid along the edge of the cup, she didn't really appreciate the Wu family from the bottom of her heart. To put it nicely, they were avoiding trouble but in reality, they had abandoned the Hua family when they were in difficulty, and also abandoned her daughter who was in the Hua family.

But she couldn't be too drastic, after all, compared to the maternal family who drew a clear line from the beginning, the Wu family hadn't cut off all ties. When the fourth aunt gave birth, Matriarch Wu personally came over. The Wu family only cut off contact after realizing that the Hua family had no hope left.

Just for that bit of initial sentiment, she needed to show some difference, rather than directly excluding them.

"I confide in you, Fourth Aunt, that all the money I earn now is secondary. What's important is the network of relationships I've built. I give up immediate gains to soften them up, so that when the time comes, they will be willing to help the Hua family. Whether it's ten thousand taels or a hundred thousand taels, as long as I can earn back enough money for them, my plans may just succeed."
