The Eldest Daughter of a Rural Family

Chapter 576: 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.

But now with that note in Mo Heng’s possession, glaringly evidencing the malice of Sun Xiujin and her deliberate attempt to sprain her ankle to seek physical intimacy with Shen Songming, using such means to latch onto a more prominent family out of vanity, even Miao’s with all her words could only forcefully argue that it was a fabrication, slander.

Grandma Li disdainfully suggested going to the Government Office to seek justice, "Let everyone see for themselves what kind of person Sun Xiujin is, and which family would want her! If there’s anyone who wants her, let her go and live with them! Our Li family has cultivated scholars for generations, always imparting education and etiquette as our legacy, with generations of good people. We can’t afford to keep such a malevolent daughter-in-law!"

Making a fuss at the Government Office would only lead to their own disadvantage and disgrace, ruining Sun Xiujin’s reputation. Miao’s could only cry and curse, lamenting her daughter’s hard life, how she was obstructed by others, and how it ruined her life.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Sun family really did not want to speak up for Sun Xiujin. But if the Li family made a scene at the Government Office, and Sun Xiujin’s reputation was destroyed, it would greatly affect her own daughter’s prospects, who was at the prime age for marriage talks. Her daughter’s matrimonial chances could be impacted by this divorce. Trying to mediate, she spoke gently and persuasively.

Yet Li Baoxiang had made up his mind to divorce Sun Xiujin, not just because of her lack of virtue, but also to give an explanation to Pei Qin, and to ensure the relationship between their families and the Li family wasn’t affected.

"He truly divorced her?" Pei Qin raised her eyebrows in surprise upon hearing the news.

"The Li family sure is decisive! In just one day, they came right over to divorce her!" Zhang Gengshan said with a smile.

"Such a person deserves to be divorced!" Pei Qian huffed angrily.

Pei Yuan furrowed her brows, "Sun Xiujin should be divorced, but for the Li family to act so quickly, it seems quite heartless."
