"You’ve cursed and hit , now can you leave?"
Su Man raised her head, looking at Father Su and Mother Su with a swollen face, her eyes filled with indifference.
"Divorce! You must divorce your son-in-law now. We’ve failed as parents to teach you properly, that’s our fault, but we can’t let you continue harming Siyuan!"
Mother Su clenched her teeth and stood firm in front of Su Man as she announced her decision.
Father Su naturally had no objections, as he didn’t have the face to let his troubleso daughter continue in front of his son-in-law.
"Get divorced! To prevent you from losing the son-in-law’s job, making Pengpeng unable to attend school."
"I won’t divorce."
Su Man coldly looked at Father Su and Mother Su and stated indifferently, "Even if I die, I will die as Wen Siyuan’s wife in this house. If you want to divorce, it’ll only be if my corpse is taken out of here one day."
"Have you thought it through?"
Father Su asked expressionlessly.
Su Man remained silent.
Father Su looked at Mother Su: "Let’s go, from now on, we’ll consider we have no daughter." Seeing Mother Su standing still, Father Su got up and pulled her by the wrist out of the room.
"His dad, you..."
Silent all the way until they walked out of the courtyard, Mother Su couldn’t help but ask, "Aren’t we going to do anything?"
"What can we do?"
Stopping, Father Su looked steadily at Mother Su: "What can you suggest? That stubborn girl is determined to go all the way down the wrong path, she doesn’t want a divorce. We can’t possibly tie her up and take her ho; even if we do, she has legs, wouldn’t she just run away?"
Mother Su was speechless: "..."
"The son-in-law’s stance is that he’s definitely getting a divorce, but for now, to prevent that stubborn girl from talking nonsense around the neighborhood, the divorce has to be postponed. Once he finds a proper way, he’ll file for divorce."
"I feel like the son-in-law is afraid of Manman."
"He’s not afraid, it’s just that spreading rumors is easy, disproving them takes effort. The son-in-law doesn’t have anything going on with Comrade Kang, but once that stubborn girl says sothing in the courtyard, what do you think the people around will believe?
The scandal power of a wife saying her husband likes the neighbor is imnse, as a woman, you understand that, don’t you?"
"How did I give birth to such a troubleso girl!" Mother Su’s eyes were full of disappointnt, she said, "The son-in-law’s work can’t afford distractions, going forward..."
Father Su: "The housemaid left last month, the son-in-law plans to give the living expenses to Wen Yue, from now on Wen Yue will manage als for the siblings at ho, as for that stubborn girl, the son-in-law said he’s not going to care. By telling this, the son-in-law’s aning is clear: letting us be aware of that stubborn girl’s actions, to avoid us going to seek justice on her behalf one day."
When he said "seek justice," Father Su’s face turned red with sha!
"She’s really ruined!"
Mother Su continued walking.
Father Su walked by her side: "Just act like she was never born."
Mother Su: "Do you really think that?"
Father Su: "Why not? Do you want a daughter who acts shalessly? We’ve never wronged her, even compared to Qingqing, you and I favored that stubborn girl more. The marriage with the son-in-law was originally Qingqing’s, yet it ended up being the stubborn girl who caught the son-in-law’s eye, can you honestly say in this matter, the stubborn girl didn’t play any tricks?"
"I..." Mother Su couldn’t utter a word for a long ti. Seeing this, Father Su said, "Though ten fingers are of different lengths, it’s no big deal for parents to have favorites among children. But Qingqing is also our daughter, think carefully, don’t you feel you’ve shortchanged her all these years?"
"Fine, I will follow your lead, just pretend you never gave birth to Manman."
Mother Su said this sowhat hesitantly; after all, Su Man was the flesh from her own body, she couldn’t possibly act like she never gave birth to her.
"Don’t get muddled, rember, you have more than just that stubborn girl as a child, if what that stubborn girl did gets out, the family’s reputation would be finished!"
Causing trouble, getting expelled, fabricating lies... any of these things, once they spread to their family’s courtyard, could ruin their family’s reputation, making it impossible to uphold.
The courtyard.
After Father Su and Mother Su left, Su Man appeared in Wen Siyuan’s study again: "Are you happy to see like this?" Wen Siyuan didn’t even raise his head, let alone look at her.
"What can I do about it? They can’t do anything to , I refuse to agree to divorce, I want to drag it out with you, once you forcibly make file for divorce, I’ll make sure you lose your job!"
