The common practice in China was to persuade couples to stay together instead of getting a divorce. Furthermore, even an honest and upright official would have difficulty resolving a family dispute. But in this case, everyone felt that it was best to get a divorce.
"Old Qiao, don't worry. Go ahead and hire a lawyer. If you need witnesses, we can be your witnesses. Your daughter and you have moved here for more than two years. I have never seen this woman before. The two of you have celebrated three Lunar New Years in the small quad, but this woman has never joined you." Back then, they had thought that Old Qiao's wife had passed away and that he brought up his daughter by himself. It turned out that the wife was still alive but she refused to show up.
"That's right. All of us will be your witnesses."
"She did not even show up during the Lunar New Year. It shows that they no longer have mutual affection for each other. We are the witnesses!"
