That night, they all went to the village chief's house.
The village chief of Du Shanqiang's village was a good person and was deeply trusted by the villagers. Seeing that Grandpa Du's family was finally willing to let Xue Daxi and Du Hongguo go, he immediately helped to draw up a divorce letter, a contract of selling off Hongguo, and a written agreement that Xue Daxi owed Grandpa Du's family four to five hundred coins.
After he was done, he was not in a hurry to have his fingerprint pressed. Instead, he read out the deed and the written pledge to confirm it. Seeing that Grandpa Du, Xue Daxi, and the others still had the same intention, he let them have their fingerprints pressed.
On the divorce paper, only Du Shanqiang and Xue Daxi had pressed their fingerprints. From now on, the two of them would have nothing to do with each other.
Du Shanqiang, Grandpa Du, and Grandma Du had all pressed their fingerprints on the other contract.
