The Kang family felt utterly humiliated and were even more afraid of retaliation from the Li family.
Thinking about how they've used the Li family's influence to snatch jobs and housing all these years...
The two brothers each had their own room, and the family dared not speak out against them.
Then I remembered that they got into the furniture factory through the Li family, and both brothers were even full-time employees.
They knew it wasn't because they were capable, but because they were Marshal Li's nominal stepsons.
Now that all of this has been brought to light by the Li family, the only thing they can do to resist is to save face for the Li family.
Unexpectedly, from the elderly to the young, everyone was more stubborn than the last, and they found fault with everyone.
Now they realize that this was all planned in advance.
"Old Marshal, our family is just an ordinary family, we can't compare with you, but my grandmother has taken care of you all these years, so there's some affection between us."
"She's so old. If you send her back now, how will she face people in the future?"
"Regardless of any agreement, everyone knows that she married you. Over the years, she has taken care of the whole family. Even if she has done something great, she has certainly worked hard."
"But she's this age now, and you divorced her. I don't know the reason why. If you say it has nothing to do with Comrade Su and the others, I doubt anyone will believe you."
"Comrade Su said that my grandmother was not good in this way or that way, but before she came, the Li family was doing well. I came here a few times and saw that everyone got along very harmoniously."
"Fine, even if everything is my grandma's fault, I want to ask Comrade Su, is there nothing wrong with you?"
Kang Qiqi knew that her family had no reputation and had been caught making a mistake, putting them at a disadvantage in negotiations.
Since that's the case, the Li family won't benefit either. She doesn't dare to associate with others, nor does she have any reason to. But she's not afraid of this person surnamed Su.
She lost her reputation, and the Li family didn't benefit either. If she wanted them to speak well of her, she would have to produce something.
No matter what she says, she's willing to go all out to ensure that everything that's required is included.
"I'm very curious, my wife and I came together, so why are you only targeting my wife with your comments? Saying that my wife can't tolerate your grandmother."
"You're implying that my wife is the one causing trouble. What about me? Am I a good person?" Su Ti was about to say something when Li Baichuan pulled her back.
"Comrade Li... I didn't mean anything by this." Kang Qiqi didn't know what Li Baichuan meant by standing up.
She was completely unfamiliar with this grandson whom Marshal Li had recognized.
Her grandmother tried every possible way to bring them together, but there was no chance at all. Her grandmother said that he had a very strange temper.
"Oh, so you're not not targeting me, you're just afraid to. Ever since you came here, you've been bringing up my wife."
"That's because you all know in your hearts that you can't afford to offend anyone else in this family, except for my wife."
“You think she’s a lesbian, and if you say anything ambiguous, her reputation will be ruined.”
"If you want things to go well, we'll have to compromise, and then you'll be able to make exorbitant demands for things you could never get on your own in this lifetime."
"If it were an ordinary person, they would have been ashamed long ago after hearing what my dad said. And what about your family's affairs? Wouldn't most people panic after knowing that?"
“But you didn’t, because you thought the Li family wouldn’t dare. You thought that if you made a scene, we would compromise for the sake of our reputation.”
"But you've miscalculated. My wife is easy to talk to. She may be delicate, but that doesn't mean I'm easy to bully."
“I grew up in the countryside and saw a lot of people fighting each other over dividing family property. You are just like those people.”
"But what right do you have? Don't you know who Old Mrs. Kang is? Calling it a divorce is more like dismissing her."
"Where do you get the audacity to think that just because you're making a fuss about my wife, my family has to give compensation or something to those who are fired?"
"The most ridiculous thing is that you even brought the family that Old Madam Kang married before to make trouble. The ex-husband's family came to the divorced family to ask for benefits. Don't you have any shame?"
"You really think Old Madam Kang is some kind of precious gem? You should take her back and treat her like a treasure."
Li Baichuan knew that his grandfather and father must have also prepared a backup plan; they were not the kind of people who would let others bully them.
And his wife, with her cunning, she just sat quietly today, saying a few innocuous words, but it was obvious she was plotting something.
But he couldn't help it; no one could say anything bad about his wife, not even a little bit.
Kang Qiqi: "..."
She had expected that woman to step forward, but in the end, she sat quietly, watching the three men in her family fight for her.
"Comrade Li, I..." Kang Qiqi looked at Li Baichuan with an innocent expression, but he interrupted her before she could finish speaking.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean'? Just tell me what benefits you want. Let me see how thick-skinned you really are."
Li Baichuan had no idea what euphemism was, and he found this woman, who was pretending to be innocent, disgusting.
Li Baichuan's words ripped away the Kang family's feigned innocence, leaving them speechless.
Shouldn't we first send the onlookers out, and then sit down and have a quiet talk?
They are willing to divorce and not go out to ruin the reputation of the Su family. They will give them some benefits, which is not difficult for the Li family anyway.
But this person just blurted it out so casually; he really is a country bumpkin who's brainless and doesn't know how to be flexible.
"That's not what we meant. We just feel sorry for my grandma." Kang Qiqi said this while looking at Marshal Li.
Hopefully, he can stop it and prevent things from becoming so embarrassing.
"Innocent? What did my wife say that wasn't true? There are so many people in the family, why can't she get along with Grandma Kang?"
“You keep saying bad things about my wife, but why don’t you talk about the reasons why Grandma Kang is innocent? You know very well in your hearts.”
“My grandfather is easy to talk to. Otherwise, just because you said that my Li family was abusing its power and that my wife had all sorts of bad things about her, he would have kicked you out long ago.”
"But Grandpa hasn't said anything. He's letting it go because of the kindness he's shown him in the past. But you guys have no sense of propriety at all. Do you want to fly to the moon?"
Having spent so much time with Biancheng, Li Baichuan had unknowingly picked up a bit of his arrogant attitude towards everyone.
Kang family: "..."
Who said that the Li family's newly adopted grandson from the countryside was taciturn? Who said he lacked assertiveness? I've never seen anyone so tactless.
Seeing that everyone in her family had retreated and seemed to be backing down, Kang Qiqi was furious.
She was unwilling to accept that they were a bunch of spineless cowards, so she gritted her teeth and prepared to make a scene.
"Since you put it that way, then I..." She was about to start making a scene when she was interrupted by someone rushing in from outside.
