BXBX NOVEL Chapter 360 - 360: Divorce
Li Sanhua looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief and asked in shock, “Mom, are you asking me to cut ties with my family?”
Hearing Li Sanhua’s words, Zhou Cuihua was furious.
Her daughter-in-law was so naive. How could she say that she was going to cut ties with her family? Could it be that not spending a single cent from the in-laws meant severing ties with her maternal family?
Where did this logic come from?
Shi Xiaolei, whose cheeks were red and swollen from his mother’s beating, looked even more disappointed when he heard Li Sanhua’s words.
He did not expect Li Sanhua to think that way.
Shi Xiaolei said angrily, “So, you’re saying that if you don’t help your family, you’re severing ties with them?”
Mrs. Li asked angrily, “Shouldn’t a married daughter help her family?”
“According to you, if your eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law use their in-laws’ money to help their maternal family, you won’t have any objections at all, and you would even support it wholeheartedly?” A villager asked with a smile on the spot.
Mrs. Li immediately denied it. “How is that the same? They’re daughters-in-law. After marrying into their in-laws’ families, they’ll be part of their in-laws’ families. How can they keep thinking about their maternal family? Hua’er is my daughter. 1 raised her single-handedly. It’s very hard on her. Until she got married, we were still the ones raising her. So, after she got married, she definitely has to repay us.”
“Then according to what you said, isn’t your daughter Li Sanhua married into someone else’s family as a daughter-in-law?”
Someone asked in amusement, “It’s hard on you to raise your daughter. Did other people’s daughters grow up on the northwest wind? Since your daughter is someone else’s daughter-in-law, you definitely have to think about your in-laws, right? Did you raise a pensio for your retirement instead of a daughter? Whether you have any problems, whether you have money or not, is it fair to always look for your daughter?”
“It’s only because your in-laws are magnanimous. If my daughter-in-law always helps my family like this, 1 definitely won’t be willing.”
“Everyone has a daughter. Everyone wants their daughter to help their own family, but this depends on how they help, right? They can’t always think of using their in-laws’ money to spend it on their own family.”
“If your parents are sick and hospitalized, it’s only right for you to take care of them as your daughter or pay some money. However, you clearly have sons at home, but you want your daughter to bear all the responsibilities. That’s a little unreasonable.”
“This Li Datou’s family is really good at double standards.”
“Hehe…”
Listening to the villagers’ discussions, Mr. and Mrs. Li did not feel that they were in the wrong.
Mrs. Li said loudly, “What does this have to do with you? My Hua’er cares about us as parents. Shouldn’t she make some contributions? She’s lived in her maternal family for 20 years and has only married into her in-laws’ family for three years. She’ll definitely side with her maternal family.”
“Alright, you don’t have to say anymore. We all understand what you mean,” Zhou Cuihua said with a bad expression. “It seems like your daughter is used by you to squeeze out your retirement. Since that’s the case, we can’t afford to have such a daughter-in-law.”
Mother Li, Father Li, and Li Sanhua’s expressions changed drastically.
Mr. Li had a look of disbelief on his face. He asked, “In-law, what… what do you mean? Are you really going to let them get a divorce? What did my Sanhua do wrong? She married into your family for three years and gave birth to two sons. Even if she didn’t contribute, she worked hard. If you want the young couple to get a divorce now, what will happen to the two children in the future?”
Mrs. Li was furious.
She criticized loudly, “Zhou Cuihua, you guys are really good. For an outsider, you want to divorce you daughter-in-law. This is really an eye-opener for us. Hua’er, since they want a divorce, then divorce them. I want to see which woman is willing to marry Shi Xiaolei with two sons in tow.”
Li Sanhua looked at her mother-in-law in disbelief and then at Mother Li in surprise. She could not help but call out, “Mom!”
She did not know if she was calling her mother-in-law or Mrs. Li.
She did not expect things to get to this stage. The parents of both sides had actually demanded a divorce.
She had never thought of getting a divorce.
She was living a good life. Why was she suddenly talking about divorce?
She clearly didn’t do anything wrong.
Her eyes were stunned for a moment before she shot a look at Gu Qingming.
She walked up to Gu Qingming in a few steps and cried loudly. “Cousin, I beg you. Persuade my mother-in-law. I’ve never thought of getting a divorce, and I don’t want a divorce either. If 1 get a divorce, what will happen to my two sons? They’re still so young and don’t have a mother. What will they do? Please pity me, okay?”
Gu Qingming was speechless.
However, the faces of the Shi family members immediately darkened.
What did Li Sanhua mean?
Was she blaming Gu Qingming?
Could it be that she thought that Gu Qingming was the one who caused this?
Shi Xiaolei glared at Li Sanhua angrily and said loudly, “Li Sanhua, you’re too much! What does this have to do with my cousin?”
Li Sanhua was asking for a divorce in the wrong direction.
Actually, as long as she made it clear that she would not help her family without any bottom line in the future, it would be fine.
At the end of the day, what Zhou Cuihua wanted was Li Sanhua’s attitude as her daughter-in-law.
However, she did not expect Li Sanhua to target Gu Qingming.
This time, she had completely crossed the bottom line of the Shi family.
Li Sanhua obviously did not think of this. When she saw Shi Xiaolei scolding her, she cried even harder.
As she cried, she accused, “Didn’t you want me to get a divorce because my parents scolded her? 1 don’t want a divorce. Can’t I apologize to her? Cousin, my mother is in the wrong, but my mother is like this. She didn’t scold you on purpose. She’s just a little vicious with her words, but her heart is still good. Cousin, please forgive my mother this once!”
When Zhou Cuihua heard this, her face turned ashen. She roared at Shi Xiaolei, “Shi Xiaolei, this is the good wife you insist on marrying. I didn’t expect our Mingming to be bullied by her family one day. Is this Mingming’s fault? She didn’t do anything wrong. She was just beautiful, but she was scolded and insulted for no reason. Even so, she hasn’t said a word.”
“But just because she doesn’t say anything doesn’t mean that she can blame it on Mingming.”
Zhou Cuihua was really angry this time.
Li Sanhua was biased toward her family. As her mother-in-law, she could not say anything.
Now that she wanted Li Sanhua to have an attitude toward her in-laws’ family, Li Sanhua actually put the blame on Gu Qingming.
What did Gu Qingming do? What did she do wrong?
She had done nothing wrong.
All she said was that she wanted to see something.
It was the Li family who was pestering them endlessly, but they wanted to rely on their relationship with the Shi family to ask Gu Qingming to help them sell things. They even suggested that she was an outsider.
The Li family was really weird..
