The courtyard was quiet at this moment, and no one in the crowd spoke.

Everyone seemed to sense Liu Yan's sadness and grief, and several young wives couldn't help but have tears welling up in their eyes as well.

After asking these questions, Liu Yan felt as if she had finally released a pent-up feeling, something that had been stuck in her chest for so many years.

She reached out and wiped the tears from her face, but for some reason, the tears kept flowing. The other young wives and older women who saw this sighed, feeling that her life was too hard.

At this moment, when Grandpa Huang saw that Grandma Ren still seemed to think that Liu Yan was being unreasonable and was about to start cursing, he glared at her and shut her up.

Then, frowning, he said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, you've already made a scene. If you came back today just to vent your dissatisfaction with all these years of marriage, then I understand. I will keep an eye on them from now on and won't let you suffer any more grievances."

"Every household has its ups and downs. I'll talk to your mom when I get back. She won't interfere whether you have children or not. Let's call it a day; it won't look good if we make a scene!"

Upon hearing this, Liu's mother was displeased. "Pah! Were you blind before? You didn't see it all these years, and now you're saying these things? Hindsight is 20/20!"

Grandpa Huang's face darkened upon hearing this, but he was unwilling to argue with the woman. He simply looked at Liu Yan, wanting to see what she would say.

Liu Yan shook her head, seemingly having given up hope.

"No, I'm back to get a divorce. I can't live with Huang Weidang anymore, and I can't stay in the Huang family any longer!"

Upon hearing this, everyone except Su He was taken aback.

Clearly, no one expected that Liu Yan would actually want a divorce!

After all, very few people get divorced these days. Putting aside whether divorce is good or bad for their reputation, it's shameful to even talk about it.

Therefore, many couples would rather endure their bad relationship than get a divorce.

It was as if that was unorthodox and heretical.

Upon hearing this, Huang Weidang finally raised his head, exclaiming in disbelief, "What did you say? You want a divorce? No, you're lying to me, you must be lying to me! How could you want a divorce? No, I don't agree! I don't agree to a divorce, and I don't want a divorce!"

As he spoke, he stood up and tried to pull Liu Yan over, but Liu Yan's younger brother stepped forward and blocked him.

Liu's mother rushed over and yelled, "Get out of here! Someone like you is a waste of my daughter's life to live with you. Get a divorce right now, my daughter has plenty of better people than you!"

Aunt Ren was furious at these words. "Pah! Who would want a hen that doesn't lay eggs? Divorce her, get a divorce right now! I don't believe she can ever remarry!"

"Shut up!" Grandpa Huang shouted at her after hearing this.

Looking at the Liu family again, I saw that they didn't seem surprised, which meant they already knew about it beforehand, so it must have been planned.

He immediately frowned. "Brother Liu, what do you say? You really want the two children to divorce?"

Mr. Liu said calmly, "I'll listen to my daughter."

"How can we listen to the younger generation about such a big matter? Besides, it's not a big deal if our eldest son gets divorced, but your daughter's reputation won't be good after the divorce, will it?"

Seeing that he was still talking about this, Liu's mother said sarcastically, "Don't worry, even if her reputation is bad, I won't let my daughter stay in your house to suffer anymore!"

After hearing her repeated taunts, Grandpa Huang's expression turned grim. Seeing his son's dismayed look and Liu Yan's resolute attitude, he realized that things were going to get complicated.
