Jinhua knew that Xia Dalang was a brilliant scholar, often praised by the teachers at Songxi Academy. He had a good chance of passing the imperial examination. As the younger sister of a successful candidate, her status would naturally rise accordingly.
She has also seen the true appearance of the Dai family.
The Dai family members were average in character and were not very kind 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 was at odds 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 wouldn't have harmed Mom, causing the situation to become unresolved!
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 to offer except for some land and wealth.
Besides, she still hasn't forgotten how the Dai family locked her up 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 her eldest brother out of consideration for the reputation of both 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.
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 took advantage of 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 become a Dai family ghost after his death, so if they wanted to divorce, it was impossible!
If Jinhua was willing to return 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 of course she will have to leave her dowry 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 shift the blame and put all the responsibility on Liu and Jinhua.
The eldest wife of the Xia family was very troubled by this.
They absolutely didn't want Jinhua to go back with Dai Sanlang. But they were also really afraid that the Dai family would make a big deal out of this. This kind of thing absolutely couldn't be aired in public for everyone to see.
Especially Liu, who was so angry and scared when she heard the threats from the Dai family that she trembled with fear.
Liu wasn't innocent in this matter, but she was certainly a victim. The irony was that she, the victim, feared more than anyone else that the matter would be exposed and made public.
Xia Youcai, who fell on the kang and couldn't get up or speak, felt extremely regretful.
Firstly, he regretted trusting the short-sighted Liu to find a good family for Jinhua. But after all Liu's careful selection, the result was a bastard like Dai Sanlang!
Secondly, he deeply regretted that he shouldn't have thought of plotting against Lihua in order to control Dai Sanlang.
If he had not made this plan and had not kept that shameless beast Dai Sanlang at home, this scandal that made him sick wouldn't have happened.
He suspected that his medicine box was taken away by Dai Sanlang.
But he couldn't understand why Dai Sanlang left Lihua, whom he had been coveting for a long time, alone and instead got involved with the oldest Liu?
Is there really an affair between these two people?
No, it's impossible. Absolutely impossible! I've been at home all these days. If there was anything wrong between them, I would definitely notice it!
That was a mistake...
Could it be that this is really retribution?
Xia Youcai reflected on this rare occasion. He suddenly remembered that Liu often said that Xia Daohua was a "jinx." This time, Xia Daohua was also...
This thought connected him to the events of the past few days.
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 appearing in person 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 hadn't done hard labor, he wouldn't have been so busy caring about Jinhua's marriage.
If I hadn't been so ill, I wouldn't have lost my job at the restaurant...
And this time, if Xia Daohua hadn't come along so desperately, perhaps this time, instead of pitting Lihua, this situation would have pitted Liu...
It seemed like whenever Xia Daohua was involved, it was really only the family that suffered. Once that girl was involved, nothing good would happen!
Xia Youcai broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly felt extremely relieved. Xia Youtian knew that his family was plotting 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 had always disagreed with concepts like fate.
But I've been having so much bad luck lately that I can't help but feel 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 relations 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. Even if he has any good ideas, it's useless if he can't express them.
Fortunately, he still had the left side of his body working. 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 beautiful 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 ungrateful person who only cared about his own interests.
Although it wasn't her fault, it hurt Xia Youcai's reputation 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 that he wanted to divorce her, so she even secretly changed the prescription that the doctor gave Xia Youcai.
Xia Youcai suffered terribly from the medicine, but there was little effect.
After taking the medicine for a while, Mrs. 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 manipulations and thought that his illness was simply too difficult to treat and the doctor's skills were too mediocre...
