Unlimited Resources: Raising a Minister with a Space Supermarket-Chapter 405 - 377: Divorce vs Separation? (Part 2)
Fourth Uncle Sun did not think Li Wenyuan would bring his mother to apologize to Sun Manyu and then humbly take Sun Manyu back.
Fourth Uncle Sun let Sun Manyu stay for one night and return by herself the next day. Sun Manyu refused; the things Yu Xiaolian gave her were torn up. If Li Wenyuan wanted another set, he would have to take her back. After all, without her in the middle, who was Yu Xiaolian to him, Li Wenyuan?
Sun Manyu waited confidently at home, but it was not in vain. The next day, Li Wenyuan came with his mother, bringing several large bags of things.
Sun Manyu waited inside the house for Li Wenyuan to coax her; she had no intention of going out until her little nephew Sun Huaixing ran in, shouting, "Aunt, you should go out quickly, the Li family has thrown down a divorce letter. They’re divorcing you!"
Sun Manyu was shocked. How could this be? Didn’t Li Wenyuan want to pass the Scholar examination?
When Sun Manyu stumbled out, quite a crowd had gathered at the door to watch the commotion.
Seeing Sun Manyu come out, Lady Li announced loudly, "The Sun family’s daughter has been married to my son for three years with no issue, and now she incites her two cousins to beat her husband. Our Li family cannot endure such humiliation. Today I have brought a letter of divorce personally, to show our resolve—there is no room for negotiation in this matter.
This is the matchmaker who arranged their marriage, and I have brought her here. I have also returned the Sun family’s daughter’s dowry and her seasonal clothes.
From now on, there will be no relationship between our families. I ask the villagers to witness this."
"Oh dear, in-laws, it’s normal for a couple to quarrel and have fights. How did it escalate to the point of divorce?
In-laws, please calm your anger and come... whatever the issue is, let’s discuss it inside..." Sun Dalin’s wife, fearing that Li Wenyuan would really divorce, couldn’t care about anything else and tried to gently pull Lady Li into the house with a smile.
Lady Li shook off Sun Dalin’s wife’s hand with force, cursing angrily, "My son didn’t agree to this marriage from the beginning; it’s my fault, all my fault for insisting he marry. It’s my fault entirely.
I thought it wouldn’t matter if she couldn’t read. Our family has many scholars, one more or less doesn’t matter. I thought after a few years of proper upbringing, my son would pass the Scholar exam in the future, and she could experience being a Scholar’s wife with dignity.
Looking at it now, your daughter lacks the blessing; she doesn’t have the fate to be an official’s wife.
It’s been three years with no children, yet I never complained and kept trying to teach her. But what did she do? She failed at managing the household and educating the children, yet she readily incited her brothers to beat her husband. Such a woman, I was truly blind back then.
Initially, I thought she and Yu Teacher were cousins, so their temperaments should be somewhat similar, but who would have thought... oh, who would have thought...
Hmph, the Sun family truly raised a fine daughter!"
Li Wenyuan ordered his servants to throw the bags from the cart, "All your belongings are here. Check if anything’s missing so we can confront face-to-face and avoid you later claiming we took something."
Sun Manyu kicked aside the packages at her feet, ran towards Li Wenyuan, knelt down, and clutched his long robe, "Husband, I was wrong...
Even though you beat me yesterday and almost strangled me, I had no intention of going back to my parents to complain.
It was my fault, all my fault, I shouldn’t have run into my two cousins on the road. Seeing someone beating their sister, how could they not help?
Husband, if you’re going to hit me, just do it at home. Why hit me halfway? Could you not wait that long?"
Sun Manyu knew that with Li Wenyuan and his mother both here, bringing back her dowry meant their fate was over. But if the Li family wanted to dump all the blame on her, that wouldn’t do.
"Oh my, this Scholar Li appears gentle and refined, but who knew he’d be this kind of person!"
"Well, looks can be deceiving. Some people just like to blame others while they themselves are at fault. Really, how can he hit his wife and then divorce her when her family steps in? Really..."
"This Scholar Li has a tendency for violence; it might be hard for him to find another wife in the future!
In my opinion, there’s no major conflict. Both families should reconcile and move on."
Sun Manyu felt a bit smug as the crowd sided with her.
Lady Li, fuming from Sun Manyu’s words, angrily yanked Sun Manyu away from Li Wenyuan, "You..."
