"Sixth Aunt, you... what brings you here?"
For some reason, Gao Dani instinctively shrank back when she saw the scrutinizing gaze of her sixth aunt.
Hearing Gao Dani's obviously guilty expression and her voice that lacked any confidence.
Aunt Liu felt her blood rush to her head, but Gao Dani was, after all, not her own child.
She held back her temper for a long time before staring intently at Gao Dani and asking, "I heard you and the eldest son of the Zhao family are getting a divorce?"
Upon hearing Aunt Liu's question, Gao Dani hurriedly looked at her father.
Gao Dashan's forehead veins throbbed, and then he gave a simple yet somewhat helpless smile.
"Sixth Aunt, what did she mean by that? It's just that Nizi had a few words with Genlin and felt upset, so she came home."
I just gave her a lecture.
A married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl; there's no reason for her to run back to her parents' home at the slightest grievance.
Gao Dashan's words were perfectly watertight. If Aunt Liu heard the news from the Zhao family, then he was essentially telling Aunt Liu, the matchmaker, that the Zhao family had wronged Gao Dani.
Gao Dani suffered injustice and was also criticized by her in-laws; inevitably, the Zhao family was to blame.
Aunt Liu, however, was not so easily fooled; she immediately put on a stern face.
"Brother Dashan, my old man and I grew up naked in the same village."
Search your conscience. How has my family treated your family all these years?
I've heard that the Zhao family has a good family tradition, and Zhao Genlin is a good young man.
If you say your daughter suffered any grievances after marrying into the family, I'll be the first to believe it.
I heard some news that Da Ni divorced Zhao Genlin and asked his family for 500 jin of grain as compensation. I don't know if it's true or not, Brother Dashan, what do you think?
Upon hearing this news, Gao Dashan cursed under his breath.
I don't know which gossipy woman actually spilled these things.
Little did he know that after Gao Dani made arrangements with the Zhao family, she wrote a note and went to the brigade headquarters of Xishan Village, where the brigade officials acted as witnesses.
Even if she divorced Zhao Genlin, she wouldn't dare to renege on her debts.
Some of the people in the brigade headquarters couldn't help but tell their wives about it after they got home.
500 jin of grain is no small amount.
Then the news spread like wildfire, and soon the rest of the village knew about it.
But how could Gao Dani dare to tell Gao Dashan about this when he was so angry?
Just now, her father tried to drag her back to the Zhao family in Xishan Village to beg for mercy. She was terrified. What if the Zhao family found out about her when she got back?
Hearing her sixth aunt's words, she immediately lowered her head, not daring to look up at her father's face.
"Sixth Aunt, you yourself said you didn't know if it was true or not. That's why I was just about to take Nizi back to her husband's house!"
The thought of going to the Zhao family this time, and not knowing if he could get them to take back their words about divorce, made Gao Dashan feel a surge of irritation.
Aunt Liu nodded in agreement after hearing Gao Dashan's words.
Then, glancing at Gao Dani, who was hanging her head, she couldn't help but add her own words of advice: "When a couple lives together, even if there are some unpleasant things or arguments, they should be more tolerant. Dani, you are married now, unlike when you were a girl at home."
Think more about the good things about your partner. Even you have your moments of disagreement. Be more tolerant and think long-term. That's how a couple can make it work.
If you nitpick over everything, then nobody owes you anything.
