Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Doesn’t Want a Divorce
Qin Zhonghui interrupted him. "Big Brother, you’re always trying to smooth things over and keep the peace, but have you ever considered what kind of life Xiao Lan will have if she marries him? That Geng Kang’an is so old and he’s still single—don’t you think there’s a reason for that?! He’s literally twice her age! You’re pushing your own daughter into a fiery pit!"
"I don’t want to, either!" Qin Bogang was sitting all alone in his empty house. Sun Li had taken their daughter back to her parents’ place, and only the living room light was on. The house wasn’t large, but with two people gone, it felt vast and empty.
He said in anguish, "But Dad was about to get on his knees and beg me! Second Brother, you’re far away from all this and don’t have to show any filial piety, but I can’t be like you!"
After pleading so earnestly, when Qin Zhonghui heard his brother’s reply, he suddenly lost the energy to argue anymore.
He said flatly, "It seems our sister-in-law really should divorce you."
CLICK. Qin Zhonghui hung up.
This time, it was Su Yun’s turn to comfort Qin Zhonghui and help him cool down. Qin Zhonghui sighed, "When we were young, Big Brother was the most family-oriented one. He was the most successful of us three brothers. I just never thought he could be so foolish. I have no problem with him being filial to our parents, but how can he push his own daughter into a fiery pit just so our third brother can get a wife!"
"Calm down, Zhong Hui. How about I call our sister-in-law and see if she and her daughter need any help? Sigh... Others may be causing this trouble, but we can’t just stand by and do nothing. We should help where we can."
Qin Zhonghui nodded.
After all, Qin Xiaolan was his very own niece!
Su Yun then called Sun Li, who had been bottling up a stomachful of rage. There were things she couldn’t even say to her own family, but Su Yun was her sister-in-law, so she poured out all her resentment and frustration.
She vented for over forty minutes!
Finally, Sun Li said, "In any case, I will absolutely not let my Xiao Lan marry him. Not even an engagement. The Old Qin Family is just obsessed with their sons, aren’t they? Fine! Let one of the men be the marriage exchange! I don’t care who goes!"
Su Yun didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. ’My sister-in-law must be absolutely furious.’
Thinking of the Geng siblings, Qin Jiao took the phone and said to Sun Li, "Auntie, do you still want to be with my uncle? If you do, there’s actually a way to solve the problem with the Geng Family."
’Of course, if my aunt is truly fed up with my uncle, then she should just get a divorce. The most important thing is that she decides for herself what she wants.’
On the other end of the line, Sun Li was silent for a long time. At last, she said in a low voice, "Honestly, your uncle isn’t a bad person. He doesn’t smoke or drink, he hands his salary right over, he even helps me with chores, and he cooks more often than I do. But he has this one massive flaw. Whenever something comes up concerning his family back home, it’s like he’s been cursed—he just completely loses his mind!"
If they hadn’t been so absurd this time—actually agreeing to a marriage exchange for Xiao Lan—Sun Li would never have gone so far as to mention divorce.
Qin Jiao understood then that her aunt didn’t really want a divorce.
’Besides, in her past life, her aunt and uncle had still divorced. Even without this marriage exchange, it must have been because of something to do with his family back home.’
At that, Sun Li sighed. "If he would just stop being so foolish every time something to do with his hometown comes up... then of course I don’t want a divorce."
