"Divorce?!" Old Man Gan and Old Woman Gan exclaimed in surprise upon hearing Gan Li's words.
The sound faintly reached the main room, where Chen Pan'er, who was sitting, heard it and became somewhat restless.
Although her maternal grandparents had doted on her, she wasn't stupid; she knew it was all because of her mother that they spoiled her. They not only doted on her, but also on her younger brother.
But now that her grandparents know what her father did, will they take their anger out on her because they are angry with him?
What would her mother do if her maternal grandparents wouldn't allow her to stay? Chen Pan'er was unsure of what to do.
If it were her younger brother who was with her mother today, there would be no doubt that even if her mother didn't eat, her younger brother would still get a bite to eat. But she... Although her mother's attitude towards her had improved a lot today, Chen Pan'er still felt a little uncertain.
Just as she was filled with anxiety and fear, Gan Li, in Old Lady Gan's room, seemed to have sensed something and glanced at the main room.
From this angle, she couldn't see anything, but she inexplicably felt that the little girl inside might be scared at this moment.
She turned her head and reminded the two people in front of her, "Father, Mother, please keep your voices down."
Old Man Gan noticed her glancing at the main room and was initially confused about what she was looking at. But then he remembered his granddaughter, whom he had just seen, and realized she was now gone, so she must be hiding in the main room.
Was the daughter's reminder just now because she was worried that Pan'er might overhear what they were saying?
When did Ali start caring about Pan'er's thoughts?
While Old Man Gan was still wondering, Old Woman Gan was completely preoccupied with the shocking news of her daughter's disappearance and had no time to think about anything else.
Hearing her daughter's request for them to speak quietly, she assumed it was because her daughter was worried about being embarrassed, so she lowered her voice and confirmed:
"You said you divorced Danian? Why? Is it because your sister-in-law's family didn't give you the secret recipe, so he's unhappy?"
To be honest, Old Mrs. Gan didn't like this son-in-law at all. She only betrothed her daughter to the Chen family because she couldn't stand her daughter's crying and fussing.
Every year after that, she regretted it.
That son-in-law had the title of a scholar, and for many years he claimed to be studying to prepare for the imperial examinations, but in reality he spent his time eating, drinking, and having fun without any ambition. If he ran out of money, he would instigate his daughter to come to his house and ask for it.
Old Mrs. Gan was willing to give the money to her daughter. But she knew that once the money was taken, it would mostly end up in the mouths of the Chen family mother and son, and her own daughter would hardly get any.
She harbored resentment, but her daughter valued Chen Danian so much that she couldn't say a bad word about him. She had been suppressing her resentment for so many years.
Old Mrs. Gan originally thought that she would have to serve Chen Danian, her living ancestor, until she died. But who would have thought that one day she would hear from her daughter that she had actually divorced Chen Danian?
She instinctively felt that something serious had happened, otherwise why would her daughter, who valued Chen Danian more than her own life, agree to a divorce?
Not only her, but Old Man Gan was also quite surprised to hear the news, finding it somewhat unreal. His wife's words reminded him; a thought flashed through his mind, and he looked at Gan Li seriously, saying:
"Divorce? You're probably just using this to appease me. Let me tell you, we can let it go since we're family, and you're my child, there's nothing I can do about it. But I will never let you have your sister-in-law's secret recipe, and I have no right to ask my in-laws for it!"
Gan Li was taken aback and was about to explain when she was interrupted by Zhao Shi, who rushed in like a whirlwind.
She said anxiously, "That's right, Father, Mother, don't be fooled by her! My aunt has always treated her husband like a treasure, how could she bear to divorce him? It's more like she's been divorced!"
Ganli looked at Zhao with admiration, thinking to herself that her sister-in-law was truly prescient—how should I put it, the original owner really was divorced.
Unaware of her inner thoughts, Zhao continued to passionately express her opinions:
"She said she had divorced Chen Danian, just to gain your pity and force me to give her the family's secret recipe! Hasn't she used this kind of self-inflicted injury tactic countless times before?"
As soon as Zhao finished speaking, many images of the original owner using the "bitter trick" automatically popped into Gan Li's mind... She couldn't help but rub her forehead.
Why does she feel ashamed even though she didn't do it?
Looking at the elderly couple, Mr. and Mrs. Gan, after hearing Zhao's words, their faces were full of doubt, and Gan Li was truly helpless.
Please, original owner, what's wrong with your brain? To the point that even your parents don't believe you, you're quite something!
She inwardly lamented her bad luck; transmigrating was bad enough, but to fall into this huge pit dug by the original owner of the body was bad enough. Meanwhile, seeing her silence, Zhao assumed she was guilty and quickly pointed at her, saying to her in-laws:
"See what I told you? What divorce? It's all a lie! If she had the guts to divorce Chen Danian like Yu Gan did, she wouldn't have been manipulated by him for so many years! She's the kind of person who can't live without a man!"
Before Gan Li could say anything, Gan Mingli was displeased to hear his wife speak so rudely. His brows furrowed into a deep knot, and he angrily said, "How can you talk like that? Do you even have the demeanor of a sister-in-law?"
Hearing her husband's words, Zhao not only didn't shut up, but her anger flared even more. She sneered, "How can I speak? She's ruined my family like this, why can't I speak?"
"How did my little sister harm your family? This family's surname is Gan! What's your surname? Your surname is Zhao! We, the Gan family, haven't even spoken yet, why are you interrupting?"
