Chapter 1880: Chapter 958: Warning (Part 2)
"Not to mention anything else, just her grabbing money like that, divorcing her is not unjustified."
Lian Shouyi’s words boiled down to two points: to reclaim the money taken by Luo Xiaoyan, and then to divorce her.
"Even if the next one is missing an arm or a leg, she’d still be better. She’s nothing but a shrew, making our family do long-term labor for her family," Lian Shouyi added.
"About that money..." Lian Shouxin thought for a moment and then said, "What do you need the money for, you don’t spend it on daily life, you just want to use it as capital for gambling. Money gone, peace of mind. Without money, you can at least stop for a while."
"What, Old Fourth, how come you’re taking the outsider’s side? Not to mention anything else, but in this matter, she’s clearly in the wrong, no matter where you say it," Lian Shouli was a bit anxious to see Lian Shouxin not taking his side.
"How about this, that money will be with Second Sister-in-law for now. If you need it, tell her, let her help you with errands," Lian Manman suggested.
"Right," Lian Shouxin nodded immediately, finding Lian Manman’s idea excellent. "That’s how it will be. She won’t be able to pocket your money, and you won’t get to waste it frivolously."
"Don’t worry, I’ll have your Fourth Aunt tell her, she wouldn’t dare not agree," Lian Shouxin looked at Lian Shouyi and said.
"This still treats me like a child. I’m this old, already a grandfather, and still not treated like a person!" Lian Shouyi said, glaring.
"If you could be more reliable and not stray off the path, would it come to this?" Lian Shouxin was also angry, "You know you’re getting on in years, already being a grandfather. If you want people to respect you, show them something respectable!"
"So you definitely won’t agree to divorce her?" Lian Shouyi asked.
Lian Shouyi’s question was rather infuriating, causing Lian Manman and Wu Lang to both drop their expressions.
"Whether Second Brother’s wife stays or not is up to him," Lian Shouxin said. "Just because your daughter-in-law watches over you, stops you from gambling, you want your son to divorce her. If this word gets out, aren’t you afraid of being laughed at, we are!"
"People from two different families, it’s better to dismantle a temple than a marriage. You as the elders speak so easily," Lady Zhang added from the side.
Lian Shouxin’s family had a strong stance, all siding with Luo Xiaoyan.
By this point, Lian Shouyi was completely deflated.
"Old Fourth, I am an old man, a senior, no matter what you say, my reputation cannot take this, how am I supposed to hold my head up in the future? It would be better if she just destroyed me," after a moment of idleness, Lian Shouyi actually burst into tears.
"Stop with the nonsense," Lian Shouxin saw Lian Shouyi like this, softened his tone, but still scolded him.
After saying that, Lian Shouxin indeed sighed softly, looking toward Wu Lang and Lian Manman.
Wu Lang and Lian Manman knew well of Lian Shouxin’s temperament, and seeing this, guessed his thoughts. The siblings exchanged a glance, whispered a few words, and both nodded to Lian Shouxin.
"Then..." Lian Shouxin pondered, slowly saying.
Lian Manman made a gesture of seeing off guests.
"It’s late, you two should head back first," Lian Shouxin grasped the cue, raising his hand toward Lian Shouyi and Lady He, "go back, change your clothes, wash your face, stop the fuss. I’ll have Second Brother and his wife give you a way out..."
"Don’t misunderstand my intentions, it’s just to give you a step down, so you can live honorably. You better change your bad habits soon. Next time something like this happens, I won’t interfere at all. If you don’t want to live respectably and be respected, who can you blame!"
"Go back," Lian Shouxin instructed to see the guests off.
Lian Shouyi, somewhat unwilling, stood up, and Lady He followed suit.
"Get a vehicle to send them back," Lian Shouxin noticed the appearance of Lian Shouyi and Lady He, furrowed his brows, and called Steward Han Zhong over, instructing him to have them sent back to Luo Family Village by car.
After sending off Lian Shouyi and Lady He, Lian Shouxin sat back in his seat and sighed long.
"They won’t let us have peace..." Lian Shouxin sighed.
"One thing restrains another thing, I see Second Brother’s wife can handle them, that’s good," Lady Zhang said, "What do you think, husband?"
"It’s better than letting them create trouble outside and embarrass themselves," Lian Shouxin replied.
Lian Manman smiled nearby, pleased that Lian Shouxin thought this way, it was a good sign.
"When Second Brother and his wife come, I’ll talk with him, you and Lian Manman can also talk to Second Brother’s wife," Lian Shouxin thought for a moment and said to Lady Zhang and Lian Manman, "She should keep an eye on her parents-in-law, but also maintain some respect for elders in her heart."
"We’ll definitely tell her," Lady Zhang agreed quickly, with a tone that was somewhat soothing, obviously to comfort Lian Shouxin’s feelings.
"Moreover, when they go back, hmm... she should apologize to her parents-in-law, as the younger generation, showing humility is only right. Give them a step down, shouldn’t be too complacent with her." Lian Shouxin added.
"Alright, I will also tell her this," Lady Zhang nodded again.
It’s just a gesture to give Lian Shouyi a way out, to settle this matter, and also let Lian Shouxin feel at ease, it doesn’t mean supporting Lian Shouyi. For this reason, Lian Manman didn’t object, though she thought it unnecessary, this entire affair could be left to Luo Xiaoyan, and as long as Lian Shouyi and Lady He stop causing trouble, it doesn’t have to be exactly what Lian Shouxin requested.
