"I won't agree to this!"
"Hasn't this family sacrificed enough for her?"
“For the past ten years or so, whenever there was even half a bag of grain left in the house, my sister-in-law would take it all, saying it was to support her husband’s education! Because of her husband, my son even had to drop out of school.”
"And what happened? Her husband did indeed pass the imperial examination and became a scholar, but he divorced her!"
"All our efforts over the past ten years have gone down the drain, and all the promised returns have vanished! We've even ruined Xuan'er's life!"
"By letting her stay at home, aren't you just stabbing me in the heart with needles?"
In Qinghe Village, the sobbing of Du, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Ye family, echoed in the low thatched house.
Old Man Ye, Old Woman Ye, and the first and second wives all fell silent.
Separated by a wall, Ye Caiping was lying in bed.
She was awake by then, hissed as she touched her aching forehead, and then broke down.
She transmigrated, and she was a woman who had just been divorced and sent back to her parents' home.
Ye Caiping, 29 years old, is an orphan who started from scratch and became a young female entrepreneur.
She had already achieved financial freedom and completed a life-changing transformation, yet she made headlines—
Shocking! A 29-year-old female entrepreneur fell into a sewer and died!
Damn it, that was such a pathetic and shameful death!
She's 29 years old now, but she's already married.
My husband, Li Zhiyuan, is a scholar.
In order to support Li Zhiyuan's schooling, not only did the Li family's savings run out, but the original owner also came back to take money from her mother's family!
Whenever her family had even half a sack of surplus grain, the original owner would follow the scent back home, and if anyone dared to say a word against it, she would retort with righteous indignation:
“I’m not taking this grain for nothing. Once my husband passes the imperial examination and becomes a high-ranking official, he’ll surely benefit from it, parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law.”
“What? Sister-in-law, you’re saying we should save the money for Xuan’er’s education? But my husband says that Xuan’er just isn’t cut out for studying! We should give up on that idea as soon as possible, so as not to waste money and time.”
"Sister-in-law, why are you glaring at me? I'm just stating the facts. If Xuan'er wants to study, then let him study! How can I, as his aunt, interfere in my nephew's schooling!"
“But Xuan’er is still young, so we should prioritize my husband’s money. He’s a student who has passed the preliminary exams, and he’ll definitely pass next year! Once he becomes a scholar, he will naturally help Xuan’er and then repay his parents and brothers tenfold or a hundredfold.”
Although the original owner was a daughter, she was pampered from a young age, and her parents and two older brothers would give her whatever they could.
They naturally want to support their son-in-law's education.
But Ye Xuan, the grandson of the family, also missed school. Under the insistence and nagging of his eldest daughter-in-law, Du, Ye Xuan also went to school.
But it's really difficult to support two people to study at the same time!
The Ye family persevered for three years, but then they couldn't keep up.
With the original owner's crying, tantrums, threats of suicide, and promises of "passing the exam next year," Ye Xuan was finally forced to drop out of school and support only Li Zhiyuan.
But year after year, for a full fourteen years, Li Zhiyuan was still not on the list.
Just when everyone was about to despair, Li Zhiyuan suddenly hit the mark!
The original owner was so excited that she ran around telling all her relatives and friends, showing off that she was a scholar's wife. But before she even finished running around, Li Zhiyuan threw a letter of divorce in her face:
"Mrs. Ye, you've been married into the family for fourteen years and only given birth to two daughters, causing my Li family line to end, and I've tolerated that. But you shouldn't have, absolutely shouldn't have, beaten your mother-in-law! If I tolerated this, I would be unworthy of being a son! Take this letter of divorce and get out! From this day forward, you are no longer a woman of the Li family!"
"No, husband. I didn't hit my mother-in-law! I really didn't! Mother broke her leg after falling down the steps... I went to help her up, and she suddenly grabbed my hand and said I pushed her... Husband, I'm usually so filial, I even kneel on the ground when I wash her feet, how could I push her! Please believe me!"
When facing her own family, the original owner was domineering and bossy, but when facing her husband's family, she groveled and fawned like a dog.
But the letter of divorce was still mercilessly thrown in her face.
When the Ye family learned of this, they were furious and led their clansmen and the village head to support the original owner and demand an explanation.
The original owner's mother-in-law, Granny Li, lay on the ground clutching her broken leg and began to weep, recounting how the original owner was cunning, lazy, greedy, and sly, and how she had beaten her mother-in-law, citing the leg as irrefutable proof.
Two neighbors also came forward to testify, saying they saw the original owner chasing after Granny Li, hitting her, and pushing her to the ground. They also said the original owner couldn't have a son, causing the Li family line to end.
Regardless of which one, the original owner should have divorced!
Unable to bear the blow, the original owner pointed at Li Zhiyuan and said, "Husband, how could you treat me like this! If you really want to divorce me, I'll kill myself!"
As he spoke, he rammed his head against the wall.
The original owner thought Li Zhiyuan would stop her, but he ignored her completely. By the time she tried to stop, it was too late! In the end, just as she wished, she died!
Looking at the memories in her mind, Ye Caiping couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly.
What kind of thought process did the original owner have? If someone is going to divorce you, they naturally don't care whether you live or die! You actually tried to threaten them with your death; no wonder it didn't work.
After the incident, the Li family refused to let the original owner into the house.
Fearing that it would worsen the injury, the original owner's parents had no choice but to carry him back to the Ye family.
Du, the eldest sister-in-law from her maternal family, had long hated this awful sister-in-law who had emptied their family's coffers and ruined her son's studies.
Now that she has learned that her sister-in-law has been divorced and will be staying at her house for an extended period, Mrs. Du is utterly devastated!
All the sacrifices made for her son's future have gone down the drain! She'll have to live a suffocating life of being enslaved by her awful sister-in-law from now on!
Under the double blow, the Du family finally snapped and started making a scene.
