Ganli echoed in her mind, "I'm just completing a task, right? Now that the task is complete, what's the reward?"
Maria was nearly driven mad. "What kind of mission did you complete? I was asked to help her with her broken bone, and you just shattered it!"
Ganli clicked her tongue impatiently. "So her fracture problem is gone? Tell me, is the solution solved or not?"
Maria [...]
Granny Lü no longer has the worry of fractures; her current worry is that her bones are shattered into pieces!
Although the solution was wrong, it was indeed solved.
Seeing that it hadn't moved for a long time, Ganli questioned, "You're not planning to go back on your word, are you?"
Maria's lips twitched, and then the system's voice sounded in her mind.
[Ding—Congratulations, host, on completing the mission! You are rewarded with ten merit points!]
"Yes!" Gan Li cheered inwardly and smiled happily.
Granny Lü was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely. Seeing that the culprit still dared to laugh, she immediately started howling at the top of her lungs:
"Murder! Murder! A daughter-in-law is trying to kill her mother-in-law! Is there no justice in this world?!"
At this moment, Chen Danian, who had been standing there dumbfounded, finally made a move. He had thought that the old woman was dead, but when he suddenly saw her come back to life, he was so frightened that he couldn't move.
However, upon hearing the screams of his mother and son, he finally came to his senses and rushed forward to help his mother. But as soon as he moved, Granny Lü cried out in pain, and his son wailed beside her.
Chen Danian was both anxious and heartbroken. He turned and glared at Gan Li, roaring, "You bitch, not only do you play tricks, but now you dare to beat your mother-in-law? I'm divorcing you!"
Only Chen Pan'er, seeing that Gan Li had woken up, happily got up and rushed into her arms, excitedly exclaiming, "Mother, that's wonderful! I knew you weren't dead!"
Gan Li reached out and touched the little girl's head. Looking at her thin figure and dry, yellow hair, she felt sorry for her. At the same time, she remembered her second mission: to take Chen Pan'er away from the Chen family.
To take Chen Pan'er away from the Chen family, she needs to sever ties with Chen Danian first. Since she doesn't want such a useless husband anyway, she'll take this opportunity to do it all at once!
She looked coldly at Chen Danian and said sarcastically:
"You want to divorce me? I'll divorce you too! You're a grown man, and you think you're something special just because you passed the imperial examination? You think you can just stay at home and live off me? You eat my food and drink my water, and now you want to divorce me? I'm really giving you a hard time!"
"You—" Chen Danian never expected that the lowly woman who was always subservient and obsequious to him would not only dare to contradict him today, but also dare to curse him? He was furious and pointed at Gan Li, ready to curse her.
However, Gan Li didn't give him a chance at all. She glared at him and said with great force:
"What do you mean, 'you'? Am I wrong? Ever since I married you, you've used up all my dowry, and every month you force me to ask my father for money. What have you done?"
All you ever do is spout classical Chinese phrases; you're a heartless idiot! Let me tell you, I've wanted a divorce for a long time!
"What? You...you want a divorce?"
Chen Danian stared at her in disbelief, then flatly refused:
"Impossible! Even if I don't want you anymore, it's still me divorcing you! I'll make sure you carry the stigma of being a divorced woman for the rest of your life, and make sure your brothers and sisters can't hold their heads up high because of you!"
Gan Li, seeing his smug expression, wasn't afraid at all and retorted with a cold laugh:
"Fine, then I'll have someone write big-character posters and expose all the ways you, Scholar Chen, have lived off your wife all these years! I want to see who's more shameful!"
Chen Danian was so angry that he couldn't threaten her, his face turned red, and he pointed at her, speechless.
Gan Li continued to mock, "When word gets out that you turned your back on her after you've eaten her rice, I wonder if that Master Zhao will still be willing to marry his daughter to you? Oh dear, if the rich widow doesn't want you, you'll be starving!"
Chen Danian hadn't taken the earlier words seriously, but Gan Li's last sentence was a fatal blow, instantly calming him down.
He had gone to great lengths to win over Zhao Juan, and because of his contribution of the secret recipe, Master Zhao finally agreed to his marriage with Zhao Juan. This was also why he was so eager to divorce this haggard old woman.
The Zhao family is very wealthy, and Zhao Juan is their only daughter. In the future, won't all those businesses be theirs?
But if this haggard woman really makes a scene and ruins the marriage, then it would be a huge loss!
After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Danian calmed down and, no matter how angry he was, he could only grit his teeth and accept it.
"Fine, let's get a divorce. Even if I suffer a loss, I don't want a vicious woman like you to be a daughter-in-law of the Chen family anymore!"
"Tch, if you're so eager to live off a woman, just say so. I know you too well."
Gan Li felt disgusted by Chen Danian's hypocritical appearance and ruthlessly exposed his hypocrisy.
"You!" Chen Danian was quite angry at her words, but what Gan Li said next almost made him jump up.
"But if you want me to agree to a divorce, you have to agree to two conditions. First, give me two hundred taels of silver. Second, I want to take my child with me!"
Before Chen Danian could even speak, Granny Lü blurted out in anger:
"Two hundred taels of silver? Don't even mention giving it to you, it's enough to bury you! How dare you ask for so much?!"
“How can I be ashamed? Since marrying me, Chen Danian has never done any work, yet he managed to save two hundred taels of silver. Where did that come from? It all came from the Gan family! I’m just taking back what’s rightfully mine, it’s only natural!”
