This is what Chen Sanni is most worried about.
She couldn't stand being criticized by others, and now she had to let her family suffer the criticism as well. She felt so sorry for her family.
Chen Erni, who had experienced a lot during her time in the countryside, smiled and said, "This is not your fault. The boy from the Ming family cheated first and beat you up later. If you can't live together, just divorce me."
"Then I'll discuss it with my parents tonight."
With the support of her second sister, Chen Sanni explained her ideas to her father and mother in the evening.
She didn't want to spend her whole life with Mingsen. This wrong marriage should have ended long ago, but she didn't dare to tell the truth for the sake of her family's reputation.
In this day and age, getting a divorce really does require some courage. Chen Sanni has considered it for so long before saying it out loud, which shows that there is no turning back.
Although Chen's parents still have some old-fashioned ideas, they think it is best for their daughter to be faithful to her husband and want to persuade her to be patient.
But when she thought about her daughter's husband being Mingsen, the words of comfort came to her lips and she couldn't say them.
The Chen family can't afford a son-in-law who would bring chaos to the family!
If Mingsen had an official position like Chen Wei, the Chen family might still hesitate because of his status. It is obvious that this person only relies on nepotism!
Even if there is a future, it won't be much.
Mother Chen looked at her third daughter and said distressedly: "If you don't want to live with him, then don't. But Sanni, what kind of man do you want to find? You can't live alone your whole life. It's so hard."
Let’s not talk about whether the divorce can go smoothly. What will Chen Sanni do after the divorce?
In this county where divorce is rare, there are no singles at all. If there are men or women who remain single until old age, people will just say they are monks or nuns.
Moreover, at that time, superstitious ideas were being dispelled, and nunneries were all deep in the mountains and forests and were difficult to find.
Divorce and remarry?
Mingsen, who has good conditions in all aspects, failed to satisfy Chen Sanni, and I am afraid that the next one he finds will be even worse.
Just look at how sister Chen Erni took her two children to a blind date and was rejected in various ways. You will know that men are quite realistic, but they just don’t say it. They are all another Mingsen.
Chen Sanni wanted to divorce because she had no feelings for Mingsen anymore, but she had never thought about how she would live after the divorce. She looked at her family in panic.
Seeing her second sister concentrating on taking care of the baby, her eyes suddenly lit up: "Mom, I have a job and can support myself without any problems. Can't I live alone?"
Chen's mother understood Chen Sanni's little thoughts and shook her head helplessly: "You don't have children, what will you do when you are old? Other people have children and grandchildren, but you are all alone, have you ever thought about it?"
Although Chen Erni has lost her husband, she has two daughters, and raising her daughters will be her support in the future.
But Chen Sanni has no children and is thinking of not remarrying. Without a child to rely on, it might be easy for her to be adopted as a godmother and her family would be wiped out.
In short, the Chen family does not approve of Chen Sanni remaining single for her entire life.
Chen Sanni was like a deflated ball: "But I really can't live with Mingsen anymore. I feel sick just seeing him!"
People's expressions can be disguised, but body language will subconsciously reveal their true thoughts. Not to mention getting close, she felt like she didn't want to breathe under the same sky as Mingsen when she saw him.
Chen Erni, holding her daughter, spoke up for her sister: "Mom, let's talk about the future later. Can you still accept such a son-in-law now?"
Mother Chen was silent for a while and shook her head.
Chen Erni pressed the issue, "Besides, the division of the Xiang family's house is my sister-in-law's business, and has nothing to do with Mingsen. If he wants a share, what about our family?"
A word can wake a dreamer up!
Chen's mother screamed in shock: "How dare he! Why would he, a son-in-law, do that?!"
Families in the county town assume that the family property belongs to their sons. Even if they dote on their daughters, they rarely give them real estate. They usually give them some money, jewelry, etc.
If the daughter is filial and takes care of the elderly, she may give the family property to them. But the son is not stupid either. He just needs to let his wife provide food for the elderly. Who would push the family property away?
So in Chen Ma's mind, how could a son-in-law dare to covet the property of his father-in-law's family?
Because she only has two daughters, Chen Erni paid special attention to the law: "I've read the law books, and it says that both sons and daughters have inheritance rights. Do you think he can target the Xiang family, which is farther away, and will let our Chen family go?"
That's impossible!
Greedy people want it all and don't choose at all.
Mingsen can only be said to be too eager for quick success and instant benefits, exposing his ambition clearly. If he could endure it, he would wait until Chen's father and mother passed away, and he would definitely instigate Chen Sanni to fight for the family property.
After hearing what her second daughter said, Chen's mother shuddered: "He... we can't afford a son-in-law like that. We must divorce! This marriage must be divorced!"
Chen Sanni silently gave her second sister a thumbs-up under the table, while assuring her mother: "I still have a job, Mom, I can support myself. In the past two months, it's been the same whether he's there or not. I don't expect him to be a bully in this family!"
Mother Chen rolled her eyes at her and said, "Of all the children, you're the one who causes the most trouble. Look at this son-in-law you carefully selected. He really makes me feel annoyed just thinking about him."
"That's because my family is pushing me too hard. My younger brother wants to get married, so you guys are forcing me to get married..."
Chen's mother sneered: "Yes, we pushed you too hard when you were 19. What about the years before that? Do you remember why you were so picky?"
That's just nitpicking. She doesn't even know her own weight, but she criticizes the man's shortcomings and completely ignores his strengths.
Chen Sanni's weak rebuttal disappeared. She certainly knew what she had done when she was young and impetuous.
