Chapter 7 - 007. Big Brother’s Divorce
For something that appeared so deadly, Wu Xia was of course firmly opposed. Unfortunately, her two fists couldn’t fight the four hands of the brothers and sister-in-law, nor the oblivious Lianshan who didn’t know when to make himself scarce.
Shuzhen, who had been hoping to take this opportunity to induce a miscarriage and cut off Wu Xia’s chances to return, felt slightly regretful, and couldn’t help but curse Wu Xia for being useless under her breath.
Although the multigoal plan didn’t succeed, ultimately Wu Xia’s true colors were exposed in front of the elder and second brother. Because of Wu Xia acting self-destructively, the situation smoothly escalated to the level of divorce.
Although the Wu family would certainly be unwilling and would inevitably come up with some schemes to send Wu Xia back, soldiers will block it and water will cover it. As long as the elder brother remained resolute, Shuzhen was confident that the name Wu Xia would become a thing of the past in the Liu family!
As long as this confession letter was in hand, no matter how fierce the Wu family got, how dare they raise a fuss in front of her?
The second brother personally pushed the cart full of Wu Xia’s dowry boxes and clothes, while the elder brother grabbed onto a still-crying Wu Xia’s shoulders, sending her back to the Wu family together.
Seeing the unruly daughter-in-law of the Liu family being sent back to her parental home, the daughter-in-law Su Hongying was attentively looking after Shuzhen’s sister, making Lianshan secretly sigh in relief. He asked Shuzhen to let him know if she needed anything in the future, promising not to shirk if he could help, then bid farewell to Shuzhen and her second sister-in-law who looked at him like a defensive wolf and walked back to his little horse shed.
The second sister-in-law’s obvious look of relief after Lianshan left was so noticeable that Shuzhen couldn’t ignore it even if she tried.
She couldn’t bear to listen again to the second sister-in-law’s comments that although Lianshan had nice looks and character, he was ultimately too poor and biased towards his younger siblings. Even though coming back to life had taught her many things, showing her that this second sister-in-law, far less eloquent and superficially skilled than the former sister-in-law Wu Xia, had a genuine heart for her. She feared marrying Lianshan would result in hardship and poverty for her. After all, the gap from being a regiment’s wife to marrying a poor, old farmer was hard enough for this meticulous-minded young lady to endure.
