Chapter 576: The Powerful Bullying People (4)_1
Old Man Li was more concerned, "If the Sun family is unwilling and causes a commotion, it will bring shame upon our family as well. Marrying Lady Sun already cost us quite a bit of silver coin, and if we divorce her, it won’t be easy for Bao Xiang to remarry."
"The silver we spent must be returned to us by her! It’s her own lack of virtue and maliciousness, not any fault of ours!" Grandma Li had long been dissatisfied with Sun Xiujin. Not to mention earlier issues, such as her failure to produce a son but instead a girl, nor did she show much care or attentiveness when Bao Xiang broke his arm. Now with these troubles that could bring disaster upon the Li family, why would we keep her around!?"
"But after Bao Xiang divorces his wife and is still left with a daughter, it’s not going to be easy for him to find another good match," worried Old Man Li.
"What’s so difficult about that! If we don’t divorce her, neither the Fang family nor Pei Qin will let her off, and they won’t let our family off either! Even Mo Heng, who is said to come from a wealthy family in Capital Jingcheng, had a distinguished young master looking for him. He has already demanded a satisfactory explanation! Once Bao Xiang takes his examination next year and achieves a scholarly title, our family will have three scholars as close relatives, and we’ll be able to call the imperial merchant Pei Qin’s family our brothers and sisters. Are you still worried we won’t find a good match!?" Grandma Li wasn’t afraid to divorce Sun Xiujin, "She brought this upon herself, and if we divorce her, the Sun family won’t dare say anything. They haven’t even secured marriage relations with the Fang family yet, so now they can forget about being closer to them than us. Once everyone knows how malevolent Sun Xiujin is, who would speak up for her!?"
With the conversation reaching this point, Old Man Li had nothing more to say. Since it had come to this, then so be it, let the divorce happen.
The Li family, along with Li clan members, came to the Sun family with the divorce papers to divorce Sun Xiujin. As for the daughter, being of Li blood, she must be taken back to the Li family to be raised, and not left to the upbringing of a mother with such a malevolent mind.
Miao’s and Sun Xiujin were taken aback, never expecting that Li Baoxiang would truly seek a divorce and that the Li family would support the decision, expressing strong opposition.
