On the train, the eldest of the Lyu Family sat with his parents facing the Yu couple, and none of their expressions looked pleasant.
A few days ago, the Lyu Family received a letter from Lyu Juncheng, which was taken home by the youngest daughter of the Lyu Family, Lyu Juanzi, who was about the same age as Yu Xinyan. Upon learning the contents of the letter, the Lyu Family was dumbfounded.
Lyu Juanzi asked in disbelief to her nephew, "Are you sure you didn’t read it wrong?"
The eldest grandson of the Lyu Family, Lyu Daming, lifted his head and said, "I didn’t skip anything, I read it all."
Granny Lyu said unsatisfied, "Read it out loud for everyone again."
Lyu Daming, somewhat impatient, said, "Grandma, there’s no need. Third Uncle said he divorced the adopted daughter of the Yu Family, and in order to have someone to look after the child, he married the younger aunt of Xiangyang’s brother. The letter was just to inform you."
Granny Lyu threw the fan she was holding, "What on earth is going on? Everything’s turned upside down. We gave the Yu Family a dowry of two hundred yuan, and what did they raise?"
The second daughter-in-law of the Lyu Family, Zhang Aitang, hearing her mother-in-law’s words, had a look of disdain in her eyes. Her brother-in-law’s letter only mentioned the divorce from the Yu Family’s daughter, without giving any reason. He just said he married the youngest daughter of the Yao Family to take care of the children, the siblings’ own aunt. Who would believe that?
Something unspeakable must have happened, but she wouldn’t meddle in this matter; just enjoy the drama.
Granny Lyu cursed as she walked out of the yard.
Mr. Lyu shouted loudly, "Where are you going?"
Granny Lyu, enraged, said, "I’m going to the Yu Family to get an explanation."
Although Mr. Lyu also felt something was fishy about this matter, he didn’t stop his old wife. He also wanted to hear what the Yu Family had to say and see how much they knew.
Granny Lyu was truly infuriated. Yu Xinyan was carefully selected by her. It wasn’t long after she was sent over, and yet she dared to divorce her son. How could she face this?
She couldn’t believe that with such a big issue, Yu Xinyan wouldn’t write home. The Yu Family could pretend all they want, but she couldn’t stand their pretense.
When she ran to the Yu Family, Yu’s mother was watering and sweeping the courtyard, "Oh, dear mother-in-law, how come you are here? Please come inside and have a seat."
Granny Lyu, with a dark face, said, "Don’t call me that, I can’t bear to be called mother-in-law."
Yu’s mother, hearing this, was somewhat perplexed, "Mother-in-law, what are you talking about?"
Granny Lyu didn’t beat around the bush with Yu’s mother, "Let me ask you, did that shameless Yu Xinyan write to you?"
Yu’s mother saw that Granny Lyu’s expression and tone were off, so she put down the task in her hands and wiped her hands on her clothes, "What does mother-in-law mean by this?"
Granny Lyu, seeing her expression didn’t seem fake, said, "I just received Jun Cheng’s letter saying he divorced Yu Xinyan. Look at the good daughter you’ve raised."
Upon hearing that Lyu Juncheng and Yu Xinyan divorced, Yu’s mother was somewhat in disbelief, "How is that possible? They only just got married."
After saying this, her first thought was, if this were true, would the Lyu Family demand the betrothal money back? Thinking of this, she became a little anxious, "We really don’t know about this. What on earth happened?"
Afraid the neighbors might overhear, she quickly pulled the person inside the house.
The two daughters-in-law of the Yu Family had been listening intently to the conversation. As soon as their mother-in-law pulled Granny Lyu inside, the two huddled together and whispered, "Eldest sister-in-law, I didn’t hear it wrong just now, did I? Xinyan actually divorced the third son of the Lyu Family?"
