Translator: Endlessæantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Xue Yifu, Li Hehua, Xue Erfu, and Yu Hongyan came back, they heard that Du Shanqiangs family had secretly bought a concubine for Du Shanqiang with their aunt’s salary and didn’t allow their aunt to come home for the New Year. They were all very angry.
However, when they heard that Sanfu had become an official, a fourth-grade official at that, they were so happy that they could not express it with words.
As they were all members of the Xue family, Xue Da felt that he had to tell his eldest son’s family about it so that they could take the pigs head to worship their ancestors tomorrow together. Therefore, when Xue Darong and QianCaiyu came back, Xue Da secretly told them about Xue Sanfu’s official position. Xue Darong and Qian Caiyu were so happy that they all came to congratulate Xue Dafu and Liu Guixia.
However, because of Xue Daxi’s matter, Xue Darong and the others could not help but become disappointed again.
They might not be able to help much, but they also wanted what was best for Xue Daxi.
In Du Shanqiangs family, As soon as Xue Daxi returned, she brought her daughter Du Hongguo into the room.
Grandpa Du and Grandma Du saw that Xue Daxi did not even say hello and immediately became angry. Grandma Du, in particular, opened her mouth and scolded, “You’re just a daughter-in-law that leeches off her in-laws! What the h*ll is this attitude?!”
“Mother!” Du Shanqiang rarely spoke loudly to his parents, so he felt helpless.
“Daxi wants a divorce!”
“What?!” Grandma Du and Grandpa Du immediately panicked.
They had never expected that their daughter-in-law, who had been scolded by them for so many years and had never spoken back, would actually want to divorce their son.
Although they knew that divorce was always an option, they had lived for so long, but they had never seen any woman around them say that.
Among the people they knew, none of them ever asked for a divorce even if they were suffering. They were all dead set on their husbands.
“Why would she want a divorce? Didn’t we just buy you a concubine? It’s because of her that we won’t get any descendants!” Grandma Du asked hurriedly.
“Isn’t it because you took her and Hongguo’s wages to buy me a concubine? Even if you wanted to, why don’t you wait for a year or two? Just my salary alone could be enough. Look at what’s happening now.”
“She and Hongguo are also members of this family. Why can’t they use their wages to buy you a concubine?” Grandma Du immediately said. “This is a major event for our family line to pass on. They should contribute to their own efforts. How can we wait for such a thing? Do you now know how old we are? The sooner you get a son, the sooner we can help you!’
Du Shanqiang naturally couldn’t bear to talk back to his parents anymore. His parents were doing this for his good and for the good of the family.
Grandpa Du slowly sat down and said, “You guys came back from her family, right? Did her family find out? Did they say anything?”
Without waiting for his son to answer, Grandpa Du smiled and said, “They definitely won’t agree with the separation. Who would want a divorce?
Besides, divorcing is worse than just being told off. Everyone is afraid of gossip, especially a family that has money.”
Du Shanqiang said, “They were encouraging her to have a divorce.” “W-what?” Grandpa Du almost fell off his chair.
Grandma Du panicked even more and quickly asked her husband, “What should we do? What should he do? If they really have a divorce, how will Shanqiang have work in the future? It’s rare for our family to have three people working in the shop..’!
