Chapter 152: Extracellular Branches
Jinhua knew that Xia Dalang was a good student and the teachers at Songxi Academy often praised him. Xia Dalang had a great chance of passing the imperial examination. By then, as the younger sister of a juren, her status would naturally rise.
And she has also seen the true appearance of the Dai family.
The Dai family members were average in character and were not very good to her. Just a few days after their marriage, Dai Sanlang was already thinking about taking a concubine, and the one he was thinking about was Lihua, who did not get along with her!
Speaking of this matter, if Dai Sanlang hadn't been thinking about Lihua, Dad wouldn't have come up with this plan, and he wouldn't have harmed Mom and made things so hopeless!
Jinhua couldn't help but grit her teeth. After all, it was all Dai Sanlang's fault!
Although they had been together for less than a month, Jinhua had already deeply realized that the Dai family really didn't have much benefits except for some land and wealth.
Besides, she has not forgotten how the Dai family locked her in the woodshed and starved her for several days!
After this incident, Dai Sanlang and she could be said to be enemies. The divorce was the best arrangement made by the eldest brother out of consideration for the reputation of the two families.
However, the Dai family refused to agree to the divorce.
The Dai family was only willing to divorce his wife.
If she accepted the divorce letter, she would not be able to get her dowry back.
Besides, it’s not just about the dowry here.
Whether to divorce or to amicably divorce also involves the question of who is right and who is wrong - divorce means it is Jinhua's fault, while amicably divorce means it is Dai Sanlang or the Dai family's fault.
This issue involves the reputation and face of both families, so naturally both sides refused to give in.
However, the Dai family seized on the Xia family's mentality of not wanting to make the family's dirty laundry public, and threatened that Jin Huasheng was a member of the Dai family and would be a Dai family ghost after his death, so if they wanted to divorce, it was impossible!
If Jinhua was willing to go back to the Dai family and live with Dai Sanlang, that would be fine.
If Jinhua refuses to go back, then either she will accept the divorce letter and get out of the Dai family, and her dowry will naturally have to be left behind; or the Dai family will publicize this scandal and see who will be more embarrassed!
Of course, they would never say that Dai Sanlang was at fault. Instead, they would turn the tables and put all the blame on Liu and Jinhua.
The eldest wife of the Xia family was very troubled by this.
They absolutely did not want Jinhua to go back with Dai Sanlang. But they were also really afraid that the Dai family would make a big fuss about this matter. This kind of thing must not be exposed to the public.
Especially Liu, who was so angry and scared when she heard the threats from the Dai family that she trembled with fear.
Liu was not innocent in this matter, but she was indeed a victim. The most ironic thing was that she, as a victim, was more afraid than anyone else that this matter would be uncovered and made public.
Xia Youcai, who fell on the kang and couldn't get up or speak, was filled with deep remorse.
First of all, he regretted trusting the short-sighted Liu to find a good family for Jinhua. As a result, the result of Liu's careful selection turned out to be a beast like Dai Sanlang who was not worthy of being on the stage!
Secondly, he deeply regretted that he should not have thought of plotting against Lihua in order to control Dai Sanlang.
If he had not made this plan and had not kept the shameless beast Dai Sanlang at home, this scandal that made him sick would not have happened.
He was somewhat suspicious that his medicine box was taken away by Dai Sanlang.
But he couldn't understand why Dai Sanlang left the pear blossom that he had coveted for a long time and instead got involved with the oldest Liu?
Is there really some affair between these two people?
No, it's impossible. Absolutely impossible! I have been at home all these days. If there is something wrong between the two of them, I will definitely see it!
That was a mistake...
Could it be that this is really retribution?
Xia Youcai reflected on himself for the first time. He suddenly remembered that Liu often said that Xia Daohua was a "jinx". This time, Xia Daohua was also...
Thinking of this, he connected all the events of the past few days together.
If he had not done something bad in front of the restaurant owner, Mr. Sheng, the behind-the-scenes boss of Shenxianzui and Furongju, would not have been willing to default on the fourth room's pickle bill, and the incident of the locust tree goddess's appearance that later amazed the whole town for several days would not have happened.
If that incident hadn't happened, Mr. Sheng wouldn't have taken his anger out on me, and I wouldn't have done hard labor.
If he had not been forced to do hard labor, he would not have been too busy to take care of Jinhua's marriage.
If I hadn't been ill, I wouldn't have lost my job at the restaurant...
And this time, if Xia Daohua hadn't come along desperately, maybe this time the situation would not have failed to trap Lihua, but Liu instead...
It seemed that as long as Xia Daohua was involved, it would be the family that would suffer. Once that girl was involved, nothing good would happen!
Xia Youcai broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly felt extremely fortunate that Xia Youtian knew that his family had plotted against Lihua and was making a fuss about breaking off the relationship with him.
After we cut off contact with that side, Xia Daohua’s strange fate will probably never affect our lives again, right?
Xia Youcai had always been successful in the past, and he had always disagreed with things like fate.
But I’ve been having so much bad luck lately that I can’t help but feel in awe.
Whenever he thought about the fact that Xia Daohua, that unlucky star, would have nothing to do with his family from now on, he felt that breaking off the relationship was a good thing.
Although breaking off a relationship has a bad reputation, and the current trouble is not small.
The Dai family is like a toad on your foot. It doesn't bite you, but it annoys you.
But Xia Youcai was not afraid of the threats from the Dai family.
It's a pity that he can't speak now. Any good ideas he has are useless if he can't express them.
Fortunately, he still had the left side of his body working fine. When he regained some strength, he would use his left hand to write a note to Dalang and ask him to follow it.
With Xia Youcai's ability, dealing with people like the Dai family is as easy as Zhang Fei eating bean sprouts - a piece of cake!
Xia Youcai had a nice idea, but he overlooked one thing:
Liu knew Xia Youcai very well and was also afraid of him.
She knew deeply that Xia Youcai was essentially a heartless and profit-conscious person.
Although it wasn't her fault, it hurt Xia Youcai's face and made him so sick that he couldn't get out of bed. He must have hated himself in his heart, right?
Liu was afraid that Xia Youcai would say he wanted to divorce him, so she even secretly changed the prescription the doctor gave Xia Youcai.
Xia Youcai suffered terribly from the medicine, but there was little to no improvement.
After taking the medicine for a while, Liu used the doctor's poor quality as an excuse and changed to another doctor.
After several doctors were replaced, Xia Youcai was taken more and more seriously.
Xia Youcai had no idea of Liu's manipulation and thought that his illness was too difficult to treat and the doctor's level was too mediocre...
Good night, sweet dreams, see you tomorrow.
