Chapter 56 - Chapter 56: Chapter 56: It’s Still About Division (2/2)
Han Yu had faced his wife’s parents’ family’s reproaches with composure, but when Su Hengxuan mentioned divorce, his expression changed, “Second brother-in-law, not taking good care of Yueyue is my fault, and I accept any punishment or blame, but Yueyue is my wife, my wife for life, and I will not divorce her. Please do not speak of this again, Second brother-in-law, as I will never agree to it.”
Seeing Han Yu’s firm stance only incensed Su Hengxuan further, “Your agreement is of no importance. After all the wrongs done to my sister, do you think you can still negotiate terms with us, the Su Family?”
“Brother, don’t be like this! Father, Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Han Yu. It’s not his fault but Mrs. Wang who harbors no good intentions, always seeking to take advantage of me for her gain. Mother-in-law is eager for a grandson and, though her actions can be biased, they are somewhat understandable. Stuck in between, Han Yu is in a difficult position.”
“Sister, I am speaking up for you, and yet you still defend him. They say it right: a married daughter is like spilled water,” Su Hengxuan argued.
“Brother, I’m stating the facts. If Han Yu really wronged me, without you all mentioning it, I would have also…” Su Wenyue’s words were cut short as she saw Han Yu staring resolutely at her, deciding not to continue. That man could certainly hold a grudge.
Mr. and Mrs. Su obviously understood the rationale behind Su Wenyue’s words as they, too, were elders who could relate to the eagerness for grandchildren, making biased actions understandable. However, when such things affected their own daughter, it was harder for them to accept, especially with Mrs. Wang repeatedly causing trouble for their daughter, now pushing Yueyue to such a state. Their daughter was indeed malicious and hateful.
“Daughter, this Third Sister-in-law of yours is truly not one who brings peace of mind. It’s always her doing whenever something happens, and each time, it’s targeted at you. We need to find a solution,” Mrs. An said, wording it more delicately in front of Han Yu.
“We should divide the household. Continuing like this is not a solution. With so many family members living together, Yueyue not only suffers but also has to deal with cunning and shrewd sisters-in-law. Having been spoilt by us since childhood, she is simple-minded and no match for them. It’s only a matter of being bullied by them. It would be best to simply divide the household so that these problems are no more.” Master Su decisively offered Han Yu a solution.
“But Father, is that really feasible? Dividing the household can’t be that easy and besides…” Su Wenyue glanced at Han Yu. In reality, she had always harbored this idea but had not yet had the chance to pursue it. Previously, when Mrs. Wang had caused an uproar by bringing her family to the Han Family, Su Wenyue had wanted to take the opportunity to suggest this. However, due to Mrs. Wang’s pregnancy, she had to drop the issue. Now hearing Master Su mention it, Su Wenyue was eager to know Han Yu’s stance on the matter.
“Silly daughter, this was a condition I had set up before you married into the
Han Family. Otherwise, why do you think your father would have rested assured about your marriage? Naturally, I had planned everything for you. The Han family agreed that once you married over, they would divide the household, yet it has been so long, and the Han Family members have not mentioned it again. We didn’t bring it up since you seemed to be doing well and were happy, as our only aim is to see you well in the Han Family. We didn’t want you to be disfavored by your parents-in-law because of it. But now, it seems we don’t have to be too polite anymore, and we must go through with the division!”
“I never knew about this. How come I never heard of it?” Whether it was in her previous life or this life, Su Wenyue never knew of this condition. Thinking back to the division in her previous life, maybe it was related to the condition the Han Family had agreed to with the Su Family. Otherwise, how could the division have been so easy? As soon as she made a scene, Father-in-Law and Mother-in-Law agreed.
“You didn’t know before, but now you do. Daughter, once the household is divided, you can live a good life, eat whatever you want, and you won’t have to suffer like this. Look how thin you’ve become these days.”
Su Wenyue was naturally delighted at the prospect of an early division of the household, but before she could revel in her joy, she heard Han Yu speak, “That won’t work.. Dividing the household is not possible right now!”
