Chapter 66 : Fate

After arranging everything, Mother Xiao followed Father Xiao and the others to Liujia Village.

Since the truth had come to light, the Liu family had been in a state of anxiety for the past few days, each member concerned about different things.

Especially Liu, whose eyes were red and swollen from crying. She had lost her appetite over the past few days, and her body had become weak. She was losing weight rapidly and looked very haggard.

Liu’s parents were worried that if Liu were divorced, it would be difficult for her to remarry in the future. After all, she had difficulty bearing children. If she stayed at home for long, they would have to support another person. With no support from the Xiao family, they would have to feed her, and this weighed heavily on them.

Additionally, if she were divorced, Liu wouldn’t just bring shame to her family, but her reputation would also be tarnished. Even if she managed to remarry, she probably wouldn’t receive a dowry.

Liu Jiang, on the other hand, was still focused on his future wife and hadn’t given up on the idea of going up the mountain to search for Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng. After all, it was no longer possible for him to take advantage of the Xiao family.

Ultimately, no one in the Liu family truly cared about Liu or her well-being.

But what was inevitable still came. When the entire Xiao family arrived at the door, it was clear from their expressions that Liu and Xiao Yi’s marriage was over.

However, the Liu family still planned to fight for their interests.

Seeing so many people from the Xiao family, Liu Jiang went to his mother’s house and invited two cousins to support the situation, along with the gangsters he usually hung out with in Liujia Village.

Today, the Xiao family would definitely not want Liu anymore. Xiao Yi’s expression was firm, and no one could defend her.

When Liu heard that Xiao Yi, along with Xiao’s father and mother, was there, she was so frightened that she didn’t dare to show herself. Still, she held on to a glimmer of hope in her heart.

On the other hand, when Liu’s parents saw the Xiao family, they tried to act polite and ingratiating: “Hey, are my in-laws here? Please come in!”

Upon seeing this, Mother Xiao snorted coldly: “Don’t call me that. After today, we are no longer relatives. Don’t be so affectionate. The Xiao family can’t afford to keep a girl from your Liu family.”

Mother Xiao immediately made the relationship clear as soon as she arrived. Liu’s mother looked embarrassed and almost couldn’t hold back a smile, but she still managed to control herself.

“Mother-in-law, please calm down. It’s said that a day of marriage is a day of grace. This time, it was our Xiu’er’s fault, but she has realized her mistake. She’s been crying so much that her eyes are nearly blind. She’s lost her appetite, and she’s become so thin she’s unrecognizable. She’s sincere towards Yi’er now. She has learned to control her temper and will live a good life with Yi’er and respect you well in the future.”

Liu’s mother really believed that she could salvage this marriage by saying these words and acting pitiful.

Mother Xiao was not moved: “From what you’re saying, we’re even more afraid to accept her. She’s cried so much that her eyes are blind and her body’s broken. Why should we keep her in the Xiao family? Should we worship her as an ancestor?”

“Besides, the child she lost was my Yi’s firstborn. She couldn’t even protect the first child, which shows she’s not fit to be a mother. I also heard that after this incident, Liu has difficulty having children. My Yi has never been a father, and it’s not too late. We can all go our separate ways. It’s not the Xiao family who is at fault here.”

Liu’s mother was also in the wrong. This time, it was indeed the Liu family that let the Xiao family down. However, Mother Xiao refused to listen, and although she was deeply angry, she had to pretend to be polite on the surface.

At this point, Liu’s father also stood up and spoke, still with a flattering look on his face: “My dear relatives, the two children are still young. When she recover, you will have more children. It is said that it takes a hundred years to be able to ride the same boat and a thousand years to sleep on the same pillow. Why do you have to break up a marriage? In fact, I think the two children still have feelings for each other.”

When they were dating, Xiao Yi and Liu were attracted to each other and got married after getting along. However, Liu was a bit pretentious and appeared perfect in every way before the marriage. Her true nature began to show after they were married.

Father Xiao looked at the couple with a face as black as the bottom of a pot. They were really shameless. Liu’s behavior was a major taboo. The Xiao family had already said they didn’t want her, and they were fully justified.

Xiao Yi knew that at this moment, his attitude was crucial. He took out his handwritten divorce letter from his pocket, stood in the yard, and raised his voice towards the room where Liu was.

“I have already written the divorce letter. There is no room for redemption. It was you, Liu Xiu’er, who wronged me, but I, Xiao Yi, did not wrong you. I also don’t want to make this uglier. Sign this divorce letter, and from now on, the relationship between you and me is over. From now on, we have nothing to do with each other in marriage.”

These words reached Liu’s ears one by one. Xiao Yi’s voice was cold and without hesitation.

Liu couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears.

She got off the bed, put on her shoes, socks, and clothes, rushed out the door, stood in front of Xiao Yi, and shouted: “Xiao Yi, are you really going to be so heartless? Do you know that if you don’t want me, it will ruin my life?”

See, all she cares about is her life.

But what about Xiao Yi?

“Then what should I do with my life? I’ve long realized that you and I are not suitable to live together, but my mother always said that couples need to understand each other, and they will get along over time. So most of the time, I tolerate your temper, but you become more and more demanding.”

“Until today, I finally understood that you and I were not just unsuitable. It was simply a bad fate. If it’s a bad fate, why should we continue to torture each other? So Liu Xiu’er, give up, sign this divorce letter, and we can part ways in peace.”

Xiao Yi didn’t want to see her at all now. As soon as he saw her, he would think of his innocent child.

But Liu went forward and hit Xiao Yi’s chest like crazy: “Don’t think I don’t know. You just want to dump me because you don’t like the fact that I won’t be able to have children in the future. Why? This is unfair. Zhou Yuemei can’t get pregnant either. She’s been married to the Xiao family for three years and has no children. Why doesn’t your second brother want to divorce her? It’s because I made a mistake that you don’t want me. Who doesn’t make mistakes in life?”

She kept talking and even dragged Zhou into the argument. Second Brother Xiao wasn’t going to stand for it.

“Liu, don’t talk nonsense and bring up Yuemei. Yuemei has no children, but she is not like you. A married daughter helps her parents coerce her husband’s family and even kills the child. You are wrong in every way. What other woman is as unreasonable as you? Yuemei has not given birth to a child yet, but she is flawless as a wife and daughter-in-law. She is so good, I will not abandon her.”

The men in the Xiao family are all very protective of their own.

Xiao Yi grabbed Liu’s hands, and his temper, which he had been trying hard to suppress, was about to break.

“Liu Xiu’er, you have to accept this divorce letter today. If you continue to make trouble, let’s go to the pavilion chief’s mansion and let him make the final decision. We’ll see whether I can divorce you or not.”
