Seeing that Liu Guilan wasn't planning on having a proper talk today, Sun's mother got angry and said, "You, surnamed Liu, are you taking advantage of the fact that the Sun family has no one to rely on?"
Liu Guilan sneered: "How could your Sun family have no one? You're just bullying my family because you have a lot of people!"
Grandma: ...
She glanced at the Sun family behind her, then at the three Huo brothers, and at the people of Daqingshan Village who were eyeing them menacingly behind Liu Guilan. She was furious.
It's a situation where you can't win by talking, you can't win by fighting, and you can't go up or down.
We can't really take our daughter back and raise her ourselves, can we?
If all the wives in the family were to rebel, wouldn't they be going to cause trouble?
Seeing her daughter Sun Hongying looking at her expectantly, Sun's mother hardened her heart in anger and said coldly, "There is a saying that it is better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage. Liu, I have never seen a mother-in-law like you. Since you don't like my Hongying, then let them get a divorce. It will save my daughter from having to see your face and suffer your torment in your Huo family!"
"Mother..." Upon hearing her mother tell her to get a divorce, Sun Hongying was so frightened that she immediately grabbed her mother's arm and shook her head, saying, "Didn't we agree when we came here that we would just separate the family and live separately? We didn't say anything about getting a divorce!"
Sun's mother looked at her daughter with exasperation, "You think you can just separate the family like that? If you're so capable, make your husband separate the family, then you can continue living with him. If you don't want to separate the family, then you should get a divorce as soon as possible!"
She deliberately raised her voice so that the Huo family and everyone in the threshing ground could hear that Liu Guilan's refusal to separate the family was a way of forcing the second son's family to divorce!
Sun Hongying looked at Huo Jiang with hopeful eyes, "Husband, talk to your mother-in-law and let's separate and live separately."
If the family divides the property before the third son gets married, they can get more money, and then the money for the nephew on the mother's side to build a house will be available.
Huo Jiang looked at Sun Hongying angrily, "I'll listen to my mother."
That woman has lost her mind.
Don't they realize that she only earns a few work points a day over the years? If it weren't for her parents and third son's help, how could the meager food they earn in a year of hard work support their three children?
What's wrong with Mom being nicer to the third son?
That's all rightfully our third brother's!
If he had a son as successful as his third son, he would still be biased towards him!
These words were like igniting a powder keg in Sun Hongying's heart. "Huo Jiang! You heartless bastard, who is your wife? Who is going to live with you? You listen to your mother in everything. Go live with your mother!"
Huo Jiang was also furious: "So what if you're my wife? Just because you're my wife doesn't mean I can't listen to my mother and be filial to her. Has your mother ever let you go hungry or cold all these years? She took care of you during your postpartum period after you gave birth to three children. She's never mistreated you. What more do you want? Do you only feel comfortable when you cause trouble for the whole family? If you don't want to live together, then let's get a divorce!"
Back then, this woman came to him on her own initiative and got noticed. She insisted on marrying him, and he had no choice but to do so!
His mother was the most reasonable mother in the world; no one in the village could compare to her. She gave birth to three daughters in a row, and his mother never said anything. She treated her sister-in-law the same way she treated her. The whole family never mistreated her; in fact, they spoiled her so much that she became ungrateful.
Hearing the word "divorce" from Huo Jiang again, Sun Hongying retorted angrily, "Divorce is divorce! This isn't a human life; whoever loves can live it!"
When Sister-in-law Sun and Sister-in-law Sun heard that Sun Hongying wanted a divorce, they looked at each other excitedly.
Sister-in-law Sun shouted, "Divorce is divorce! Three-legged toads are hard to find, but two-legged men are everywhere!"
Sun Ersao: "Huo Lao Er, my sister-in-law is a perfectly good young woman who has been with you for so many years. Don't think you can just kick her out with a word of divorce!"
Seeing that her two daughters-in-law had gone this far, Sun's mother gave in to their wishes.
The main problem is that after today's commotion with the Huo family, even if our daughter stays with them, we can forget about getting anything from her in the future.
It would be better to get a divorce and find someone new.
Just like the second son's family said, there are plenty of two-legged men on the street, there's no need to hang yourself on the crooked tree of the Huo family!
I absolutely have to get the money for building the house this year.
Since we've brought up divorce, we need to settle all the accounts.
Sun's mother was calculating her money, hoping to squeeze some compensation from the Huo family. However, Liu Guilan was no pushover either. She brought up the fact that the Sun family had asked for a dowry of fifty yuan back then, and that Sun Hongying didn't even have a decent set of clothes when she got married, entering the house bare-handed in old, patched clothes. Now that the two were divorced, she still wanted money from the Huo family. Dream on!
Unable to scrape together any money, Sun's mother resorted to shameless tactics, insisting on taking away the grain that Sun Hongying had earned from her work points this year.
Liu Guilan finally agreed, but asked the village to write a certificate proving that the two had divorced, that they would not be related to each other in the future, and that the three children would live with the Huo family and have no relation to Sun Hongying or the Sun family.
When Huo Jiang and Sun Hongying got married, they didn't even have a marriage certificate. Now, when they get divorced, all they need is a certificate from the village and stamps from both villages.
Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't have this proof.
However, when Liu Guilan heard her third son ask her to write one, she did so.
Anyway, the village chief is here today to distribute the grain, so it's not a hassle and can be done on the spot.
The Sun family was eager to stop supporting those three money-losing brats, so they readily agreed and pressed their fingerprints on the certificate.
The Sun family happily carried away the grain distributed to Sun Hongying, and Sun Hongying and Huo Jiang followed behind them to Sunjia Village to obtain a certificate.
Sun Hongying didn't mention her child once from beginning to end, and Huo Jiang was completely heartbroken by this woman.
I've never seen such a heartless mother.
No wonder Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, and Xiaoqiu haven't seen their mother for so long and don't even want to think about her.
The Huo family's affair became a spectacle for the entire village.
Many people in the village felt that Liu Guilan had gone too far in making the second son and his wife divorce. Although the Sun family was despicable, Sun's mother had a point: "It's better to tear down ten temples than to break up one marriage."
Every couple has their disagreements; most people just make do and get by. Nobody gets divorced like that.
Liu Guilan was extremely upset after hearing these words.
Only family members know their own affairs.
She knew better than anyone how Sun Hongying had married into their family.
Back then, this woman wasn't after her second son at all; she was after her third son. When she first married into the family, she was restless and forced her third son to join the army.
These past few years, her third brother has been away in the army, only coming home once every few years, which has made her worry and fret every day.
Now that the third son has retired from the army and is getting married, Sun Hongying still dares to cause trouble. She was instigated by those bastards in the Sun family and started making a fuss about dividing the family property. If we don't teach her a lesson, she'll be out of control!
Marrying an unvirtuous wife will bring misfortune to three generations!
If this kind of woman stays in the Huo family, she will cause unrest in their household sooner or later, and cause discord between brothers and sisters-in-law. It's better to kick her out sooner rather than later!
