Chapter 512: Chapter 511: One Foot Higher in Morality (1 more update)

Xu Sanya felt terrible after being lectured by the old lady. The more she spoke that way, the more Xu Sanya’s heart ached for her mother.

Why, what was wrong with her mother? Where had her brothers gone wrong?

Why was she looked down upon just because she married someone?

Xu Sanya thought it through; she had to get a divorce. She couldn’t spend her life with a man who always looked down upon her family.

Wiping her tears and snot on the old lady’s sleeve, Xu Sanya stood her ground with a stiff neck.

"Mom, you don’t have to say more. I know what to do. Getting a divorce is no big deal. Your daughter can probably still find her second spring. It’s hard to find a three-legged toad, but are men with two legs so rare? So, stop trying to persuade me."

"Ah!"

As soon as Xu Sanya finished her long speech, she was slapped on the back by the old lady, who also wiped her tear and snot-covered sleeve on her back.

The resonance of that thick voice made Xu Niannian, sitting on the side, feel its tremor.

Xu Sanya’s flesh shivered.

"You little rascal, talking about a second spring—do you think you’re eligible?" The old lady brutally attacked Xu Sanya’s aspirations.

Seemingly infuriated by Xu Sanya, she took a deep breath, "What were you doing earlier? You were so desperate to get married, and now that the child is so big, you start making trouble. Didn’t you know from day one that your husband didn’t respect your family?"

"What can I do?" Xu Sanya knew the old lady was telling the truth, but she was frustrated, "Anyway, I won’t live with him anymore."

The old lady saw that Xu Sanya was still frowning and sighed. This stubborn creature wouldn’t listen to advice.

Knowing her daughter’s temperament, arguing with her at this time would be pointless.

She could only appeal to her emotions and reason.

"It’s not that Mom doesn’t support you or value you. Mom thinks that as long as he treats you well, you should live with him properly. You don’t have what it takes to find another man who treats you as well as Zhiwen does in this lifetime."

"How can you talk like that, Mom?" Xu Sanya’s retort was filled with displeasure. The first part sounded good, but why did the rest sound like a scolding?

What did she mean by having no prospects?

"Your mother is telling the truth. At your age, stop causing trouble. If Zhiwen treats you well and doesn’t do anything to wrong you, you stick with him and keep living as you are."

"At this age, if you try to find another man, if he isn’t blind or lame, then he’s probably divorced. A step-couple is never as intimate as the original match. You won’t go wrong listening to your mother."

The old lady spoke earnestly and patiently, showing the greatest tolerance she had ever exercised for Xu Sanya.

After listening for a while, Xu Sanya felt there was some truth to it. In fact, she just wanted a divorce, not really looking for a second spring.

She was just trying to bluff the old lady.

Unexpectedly, the old lady even gave her a lesson in thought education.

Xu Sanya pouted and turned to Xu Niannian, "Niannian, what do you think Young Aunt should do?"

Xu Niannian pursed her lips, "I think what Grandma said is right."

To be honest, neither Xu Niannian nor the old lady could bring themselves to like Du Zhiwen.

Of course, being openly scorned by someone didn’t win them over.

But for Xu Sanya, Du Zhiwen indeed qualified as a good husband.

Since he was her husband and hadn’t wronged her, the matter had to be let go.

After all, it was Xu Sanya who had to live with Du Zhiwen.

And they didn’t want Xu Sanya to be unhappy.

The most important point was that Xu Sanya still had feelings for Du Zhiwen.

It’s easy to break off marital affection, but also difficult.

For someone like Du Zhiwen, who hadn’t made any severe mistakes, no matter how angry Xu Sanya was, the anger would eventually subside.

Xu Niannian actually admired the old lady quite a lot.

She was a fully qualified mother and a competent mother-in-law.

She wouldn’t interfere in her daughter’s marriage but would guide her subtly instead, without preventing her daughter’s happiness due to her own preferences.

Such a mother, not just in the 1980s but even in later times, would be incredibly rare.

The old lady’s thinking was simple; she only considered her daughter’s happiness.

The old lady said this, and Xu Niannian said the same, leaving Xu Sanya hesitating for a while.

Undecided, her thoughts began to waver.

She asked with a dry smile, "Mom, what should I do now? Should I go back?"

Seeing signs of Xu Sanya relenting and no longer acting foolish, the old lady once again adopted her Tiger Auntie demeanor and smacked her on the back again.

"You spineless creature, what are you going back for? Wait for him to come get you. If he doesn’t come for you, don’t go back at all--get a divorce."

Xu Sanya: "..."

In the end, did she hope she would get a divorce, or didn’t she?

Was it that she wasn’t smart enough to understand?

Xu Sanya didn’t comprehend the old lady’s intentions, but Xu Niannian understood quite well.

"Young Aunt, Grandma means don’t be rash. Uncle hasn’t made any serious mistakes, so don’t always talk about divorce. But we can’t lower ourselves too much. Wait for Uncle to come and get you."

She added a comment, "However, Uncle did wrong scolding Grandma, and when he comes to get you, you should make him apologize properly."

It’s one thing not to care, but since it’s been brought out into the open, it should be properly addressed.

As family, neither she nor the old lady could make Du Zhiwen apologize.

It was up to Du Zhiwen himself to be willing to apologize to Xu Sanya.
