Chapter 39 - So then, the minor loss she had suffered at Su Yu's hands wasn't embarrassing in comparison (3)
Seeing that she couldn't rely on Liu Xing, Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law simply said, "I would rather destroy ten temples than one marriage. They're already married. Don't push for divorce."
Liu Mei's second sister-in-law chimed in, "Exactly. Two people living a good life together. That's so good. Divorce is a big deal."
How can Liu Mei divorce? If she did, she wouldn't leave home. Moreover, Liu Mei was in the wrong here. If this matter spread and people knew her reputation, how would they find her a partner? They didn't want to raise her for the rest of her life.
Even if she didn't eat the food at home, she would be occupying a sleeping spot at home. They also had daughters of their own. If the issue got ugly, the reputation of their daughters wouldn't be good.
Su Yu swept her gaze over them, and then she leaned back into the chair. "Anyways, our family won't serve an ancestor. If Liu Mei wants to come back, have her turn over a new leaf when she comes back. She has to treat Dazhi well. Otherwise, short-term pain is better than long-term pain. It's better for them to divorce sooner than later."
Liu Dayong angrily said, "Impossible. Liu Mei won't go through with divorce procedures. What can you do about it?!"
Su Yu didn't care at all. "Then let her stay at home forever. Anyways, if your family doesn't mind her living there, we're not anxious. As long as she doesn't come back to trouble us, that's enough. I just don't know how many years you guys will be willing to raise her."
The Liu family: "..."
Too shameless. How did they meet such a black-hearted in-law?
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law looked at Su Dazhi. "Dazhi, is that how you feel too? You don't want to be together with Liu Mei anymore? Your marriage was free love, not an arranged marriage!"
Su Yu looked at Su Dazhi. "He knows and understands who treats him well."
Su Dazhi resolutely said, "I listen to my sister." Anyways, Sis wouldn't harm him.
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law knew that things were bad now. Su Dazhi's position was the most important one. Now that Su Dazhi was no longer of one mind with Liu Mei, it would be difficult for Liu Mei to come back here.
Outside, the food had finished cooking. Su Lin glanced at it and quietly said "Sis, the food is ready."
"Okay, let's eat. In-laws, you came too suddenly. Your share hasn't been prepared. You should go back sooner to eat. I won't keep you." Su Yu stood up.
It had already gotten to this point. The Liu family knew that they couldn't get back on the right footing. They had originally thought the Su family would beg to pick up Liu Mei, but now, Liu Mei would have to beg the Su family in order to come back. What were they to do?
Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law gritted her teeth and said, "How about this? Have Dazhi come to our home in the afternoon to pick up Liu Mei. In the future, we won't say a word about Liu Mei's matters. It'll all be up to you guys."
Although Liu Dayong was sullen, he didn't have any confidence left. He went along with her words. "Have Dazhi pick her up, and we'll treat it as if this matter never happened."
Su Yu smiled. "She left on her own, and she can come back on her own. If she can't even remember the way back, then she doesn't have to be Dazhi's wife anymore."
"..."
The Liu family were immediately so angry they almost vomited blood.
Su Yu must have been pretending to be soft-spoken and timid. She was a wolf in sheep's clothing. After she had tricked Little Mei into the Su family, she showed her true self.
They were so unlucky!
They had come here in an aggressive manner, but they left with the tails between their legs. The people in the compound had their heads cocked as they watched them leave, and then the residents started discussing this matter.
Mrs. Liu stopped Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law on her way out. "What happened?"
"Second aunt, the Su family is a wolf den!" Liu Mei's oldest sister-in-law angrily left. She had been stifling her anger for long enough today.
Mrs. Liu watched her relatives leave. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. So many people had come here, but they hadn't been able to settle the Su family. So then, the minor loss she had suffered at Su Yu's hands wasn't embarrassing in comparison.
