Chapter 359: No More Marriage!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“In-law, I’m sorry. My wife didn’t keep her mouth shut and let her spout nonsense,” Father Li said apologetically to Zhou Cuihua.
Zhou Cuihua’s expression was not good. She did not buy Father Li’s apology.
“We don’t dare to accept your apology!” Zhou Cuihua said coldly. “I’m afraid that once I accept your apology, you’ll use this little relationship to scold our Shi family.”
When Mr. Li heard this, his face instantly turned pale. His expression was a little stiff and ugly.
Zhou Cuihua did not care about his expression.
She continued, “My Mingming is a member of the Shi family. She’s not an outsider at all. If we’re talking about outsiders, hehe, who do you think is an outsider in the Shi family?”
It was obvious that the outsider she was referring to was Li Sanhua.
Li Sanhua’s face immediately turned pale.
She was living quite well in her in-laws’ house. Usually, there were no conflicts with her mother-in-law. In fact, her mother-in-law was even kinder and more tolerant than other mothers-in-law. Therefore, her life in her in-laws’ house was much more comfortable than in her maiden home.
Even though she often helped her maternal family because of her parents, her in-laws did not say anything unpleasant.
It was hard to find such a good in-law.
She was often glad that she had married into such a family.
She felt that her life was really blissful.
However, she never expected…
When Mrs. Li heard Zhou Cuihua’s words, her expression changed. She asked angrily, “Zhou Cuihua, what do you mean by that? Do you really want your son to divorce my daughter for an outsider? Everyone says that it’s better to tear down ten temples than to ruin a marriage. What are all of you thinking? My Sanhua married into the Shi family and even gave birth to two son. Now, you want my daughter to divorce because of an outsider. Zhou Cuihua, let me tell you, there’s no way you want my daughter to divorce!”
She kept calling Gu Qingming an outsider.
These words were especially ear-piercing to the ears of the Shi Family!
Before Zhou Cuihua could answer, Shi Xiaolei shouted, “Are you done? Who’s an outsider? If you’re talking about outsiders, you’re the outsiders!”
He turned around and roared at Li Sanhua, “Li Sanhua, I spent a lot of money on betrothal gifts when I married you. Three gold coins is not a small sum, and the three major appliances are complete. As for you, apart from a few blankets and a few sets of clothes, you didn’t bring back any dowry. Ever since we got married, you’ve constantly been helping your maternal family. When we were busy farming, you were at your maternal family’s house. When your parents were sick and hospitalized, you were at your maternal family’s house. You spent money and effort to take care of them. When our nephews and nieces went to school, you paid tuition fees and living expenses. Even when your brother wanted to buy a house in the county city, you took 50,000 dollars. Let me ask you, what did our family do to you that made your parents insult my sister like this?”
Li Sanhua saw that Shi Xiaolei was angry at her and felt dizzy. Her parents had crossed the line, she knew. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have dug up old scores.
However, she still felt a chill in her heart.
She married Shi Xiaolei for two years and gave birth to two sons. She had also worked hard in her in-laws’ house.
She did not expect that her in-laws had turned against her just because of a cousin like Gu Qingming.
Li Sanhua asked with a pale face, “Shi Xiaolei, are you really going to hold it against me just because my parents said a few words to your cousin?”
Gu Qingming was speechless. She thought that this cousin-in-law was also a sensible person. Unexpectedly, this cousin-in-law seemed to blame her too.
She just wanted to see what they wanted to sell, but she was scolded and humiliated for no reason. Her sixth cousin only wanted to seek justice for her.
Shi Xiaolei questioned his wife like this because he wanted her to have a position.
But she, she seemed to be…
Shi Xiaolei looked into Li Sanhua’s eyes and gradually became disappointed.
Actually, from the beginning to the end, he had never thought of getting a divorce.
He just wanted to force her into making a stand..
Did she want her in-laws or her family?
If she wanted her in-laws, she should not interfere with her maternal family’s matters in the future.
If she wanted her family, it was obvious that they would end up getting a divorce.
The reason why Li Sanhua’s parents treated her like this was because she indulged them!
If she had firmly refused her parents’ unreasonable requests the first time, her family would not have endlessly asked Li Sanhua for this and that!
It was because her family favored boys over girls. Her parents made all sorts of demands on her but in the end, they all rejected her!
Shi Xiaolei gritted his teeth and said, “Shouldn’t 11 take things into perspective?”
Li Sanhua felt sad and disappointed!
She said, “Before we got married, you told me that we would take care of my parents together. But now, you’re blaming me. Shi Xiaolei, you disappoint me!”
However, Shi Xiaolei was even more disappointed!
He did not expect Li Sanhua to be so biased towards her family!
Shi Xiaolei nodded and said, “Alright, let’s get a divorce!”
“No!” Mr. and Mrs. Li stopped him anxiously!
Although they had their daughter, they were still her son-in-law’s family!
Her son-in-law’s family’s living conditions were much better than the Li family’s. Otherwise, how could they pay for all those expenses so easily?
If they really divorced, their daughter would be remarried. They didn’t know if they could find a better family! If the family she married into was inferior to the Shi family, they would probably stop their daughter from returning to their mother to help. This was the most important thing!
Mrs. Li scolded loudly, “Shi Xiaolei, do you have a conscience?! My Sanhua has been married into your family for so many years and has given birth to children. Even if she doesn’t contribute, she has worked hard! You’re simply a bastard to ask for a divorce like this! Let me tell you, as long as I’m around, don’t even think about getting a divorce! Your Shi family is really too much!”
Shi Xiaolei said angrily, “It’s fine if she doesn’t get a divorce! Let her cut ties with her family!”
Mr. and Mrs. Li were speechless and so were the villagers watching the commotion. The development of this matter was really unexpected!
However, it was also reasonable!
If their daughter-in-law helped her family like this, they would definitely be especially angry and even send her back!
No family’s money came from nowhere!
There were sons in her maternal family. Why should they let a daughter bear all the responsibility?!
Zhou Cuihua did not really want her son and daughter-in-law to get a divorce!
Zhou Cuihua looked at Shi Xiaolei and said angrily, “What divorce? If you divorce, your sons won’t have a biological mother!”
Then, she looked at Li Sanhua and asked, “Sanhua, I can turn a blind eye to how you help your maternal family! But from today onwards, don’t even think about using a single cent from your in-laws to help your maternal family! Your parents don’t have to come anymore! Even if they come, no one will welcome them!”
Li Sanhua and her parents were shocked!
