Chapter 20: Divorce
"Wife, you don't have to worry about me. I have no objection to doing what you want." Gu Yan knew that his wife was angry at a glance, and quickly expressed his opinion.
Seeing that Gu Yan was on her side, Li Wanqing had no more worries.
She didn't yell or scream, but sat there calmly, saying slowly, "Don't you think the way you eat is too ugly? The secret recipe is so precious, it can be passed down from generation to generation, and you just ask me to give it away with just a few words?"
My second brother is in poor health, but that’s not my problem. I just want to ask, if I hadn’t married Gu Yan, would my second brother have no life?
Why can't they survive if I marry them?
I don't care what you guys are planning, I just have one thing to say, the braised pork recipe is mine, I won't give it to anyone else, it's what Gu Yan and I will rely on for our future survival."
Zhang Dahua blushed after hearing what Li Wanqing said, and felt a little resentful in her heart.
Even though she was a mother-in-law, Li Wanqing really didn't give her any face at all.
Besides, even if the braised pork recipe is hers, doesn’t she belong to the Gu family after she marries into it?
Zhang Dahua thought so in her heart, and she couldn't help but say it out loud: "You've married into the Gu family, so Fang Zi belongs to the Gu family, right?
Besides, even if your second brother braises some and sells it himself, it won’t hinder you. The town is so big, why don’t you sell it in two places?”
"Humph, that sounds good, you're just going to braise your own meat and sell it, but let me ask you, if my second sister-in-law knows the recipe, will she tell her family?
"My second brother and his friends made money selling braised meat and moved down the mountain. What if my eldest brother and his friends also want it?" Li Wanqing sneered and said.
"Wanqing, don't worry, I will definitely not tell my parents." Li Yingdi said quickly.
"Come on, just by looking at your name I know what your family situation is like. You are the one who supports your brother." Li Wanqing looked down upon Li Yingdi.
If she didn't dance in front of her, she wouldn't want to pay any attention to her. Unexpectedly, she didn't give up even after being rejected yesterday, and even dared to instigate her mother-in-law to come forward today.
"You... who are you calling a brother-supporting demon? I am your second sister-in-law, and mother is your mother-in-law. Do you still have any respect for your brothers and sisters?" Although Li Yingdi didn't know what the term "brother-supporting demon" meant, it didn't sound like a good word.
"Of course I respect my parents-in-law, but if they are partial to me, I won't be able to respect them even if I want to, right?
Forget it, I don’t want to say any more to you. Don’t you just think that I’m an orphan and you can do whatever you want to me?
I tell you, you are wrong.
Don't think you can control me just because I married Gu Yan. The worst that can happen is a divorce. There aren't many three-legged frogs in this world, but there are plenty of two-legged men." Li Wanqing said harshly.
But what she said was also true. She did have the proper respect for her parents-in-law, but if her parents-in-law were unkind and biased, then she could not be foolishly filial to them.
Besides, she's not afraid of divorce, is she? If the old doesn't go, the new won't come.
If she hadn't been afraid that the original owner's family would report her to the government and declare her a fugitive slave, she might not have married Gu Yan.
But since she has married him, she has no regrets. Gu Yan is a good-looking man and seems to have his own opinions.
Gu Yan next to him was terrified. He didn't want to lose his wife.
It’s all his mother’s fault. There should be a limit to partiality. How could she help her second brother to take away his wife’s things?
"Wife, don't talk nonsense. I won't divorce you. The braised pork recipe is yours. If you don't want it, we won't give it to anyone else.
I'm definitely on your side." Gu Yan said quickly as he stood beside Li Wanqing.
Li Wanqing nodded. The reason she said this was because she wanted to see Gu Yan's attitude.
If Gu Yan also stood on the side of their Gu family and thought that she should give up the secret recipe, then she really would not want this man anymore.
Fortunately, Gu Yan did not let her down.
"You...you...I didn't say anything? Why do you want to divorce?" Zhang Dahua didn't expect Li Wanqing to be so determined.
Everyone in the Gu family was also shocked. They didn't expect Li Wanqing to be so tough.
Even Gu Chongshan didn't expect this. The reason why he let Zhang Dahua speak was indeed because he wanted Li Wanqing to give the recipe to the second brother.
I have to say that Li Wanqing was right. Gu Chongshan really felt that Li Wanqing was an orphan. Even if they forced her to give him the braised pork recipe, Li Wanqing would have no choice.
After all, Li Wanqing has married into the Gu family. What can she do as she has no family?
Now that Li Wanqing is so tough, he feels a little angry. They are all family, so is it necessary to be so petty?
As a father-in-law, he would not say anything to his daughter-in-law.
But I can still say to my son: "Third brother, is this what you meant?"
Gu Yan stood by and watched his parents make their choice.
It’s not that he doesn’t support Li Wanqing, he just knows that his wife will definitely not agree, and he is right next to her, so he definitely can’t let his wife suffer.
This was the last chance he gave his parents, and he wanted to see what choice they would make in the end.
Should I continue to favor my second brother and let his wife suffer? Or should I treat him equally?
He didn't expect his parents to be partial to him, because he knew it was impossible. He just wanted fairness.
Now that he saw Gu Chongshan pointing his spearhead at him, what else was there for him to understand? His father also wanted his wife to take it out.
It seems that his parents don't care about him at all. His wife has said that she wants to divorce him, but his father still refuses to give up and wants him to join in forcing his wife.
Since his parents don't take him seriously, don't blame him for only caring about his own family in the future.
Of course, when his parents get old, he will not shirk his responsibility to take care of them, but there is no need to worry about anything else.
As for my parents' idea that family members should support each other, it is even more impossible.
"Dad, this is my wife's stuff, I can't make the decision.
And Dad, my wife said that we will use this to make money in the future, and this recipe will be passed on to my descendants.
The moment you open your mouth you want to give it to my second brother. Isn't this too obvious that you are biased?
I know that in your hearts I am not as important as my second brother, nor as important as my eldest brother and fourth brother.
But I am also your son. Aren’t you afraid that my wife will really divorce me?
You only have my second brother in your hearts, and you haven't thought about what I will do in the future if my wife doesn't want me anymore." Gu Yan asked sadly.
Although he had known for a long time that his parents didn't care about him, he had made up his mind to live a good life with his wife and manage their small family well.
But when it really came to this, Gu Yan still felt uncomfortable.
