He was afraid that it would all be a show, a show designed to force him to ask his eldest daughter-in-law for her family's recipes!
But what if it's not...? A voice inside him whispered. What if it's not, and his daughter really was kicked out of the house and then returned home to be unwelcome by her family? How bitter would that be for her?
Old Gan felt a pang of heartache at this thought, yet he had no choice but to harden his heart. Looking at his wife, he gritted his teeth and said:
"In short, whether it's a real divorce or a fake one, she can't live in our house, nor can she register her household there. You forgot, we still owe Baifulai's employer five hundred taels of silver! If we can't come up with that..."
Actually, even without saying "if," they definitely wouldn't be able to come up with the money—that's five hundred taels!

Old Man Gan sighed heavily: "There's nothing we can do for the others, but Ali is already married. Even if she comes back now, she won't be from our household, we won't be considered family. Even if we can't pay back the five hundred taels, it won't affect her."
Grandma Gan nodded with a worried expression. Suddenly, as if remembering something, she slapped her thigh: "Look at me, I only remembered to get the pot, but forgot to get them some food. How are they going to cook for dinner tonight!"
Old Gan was also a little anxious when he heard this. He originally wanted to urge his wife to send some, but then he thought about it and said, "Never mind, our two sons will be back later. Let them send some, and they can also help tidy up the house while they're at it."
"You're so smart!" Old Mrs. Gan felt relieved after hearing her husband's reasoning and sat down.
Meanwhile, Gan Li and Chen Pan'er looked at the small courtyard where the grass was taller than a person and fell into deep thought.
