“What? You’re divorced? Why?” The villagers were surprised as they had already heard about Su Lan’s husband being abusive and how Qin Zhenzhen and her brothers had defended her.
In the countryside, unfortunately, it was common for women to experience abuse from their husbands. So, the question arose, why did Su Lan choose to divorce?
Remaining composed, Su Lan calmly replied, “If we can’t live together harmoniously, then it’s better to get a divorce. It’s not a big deal. Thankfully, my brothers don’t object to me staying with them at home.”
That was all she needed to say; she chose not to spread rumors about Wang Yizhi’s actions.
Qin Zhenzhen admired Su Lan’s attitude and said, “Sister, you’re amazing! Stand tall and be strong!”
Feeling reassured, they had initially worried that Su Lan would take a long time to recover from the trauma, but now it seemed she was determined and didn’t need their concerns.
Su Lan blushed and expressed her gratitude, “Third Sister-in-law, you gave me the courage, and you also saved my daughter’s life. Thank you, Third
Sister-in-law, from now on, you’re my sister, and I’ll protect you with my life!”
“If my Third Brother dares to mistreat you, I’ll give him a whipping first!” Su Lan sounded like an elder sister, speaking fiercely in defense of Qin
Zhenzhen.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Qin Zhenzhen attempted to explain, “Sister, you don’t have to say that. Su Bin and I are going to…”
But Su Lan interrupted her with a warm smile, “You and my Third Brother will grow old together!”
Having just learned from her two brothers about Qin Zhenzhen’s recent actions and her desire for a divorce, Su Lan understood that her Third Brother’s opinion of Qin Zhenzhen had changed after everything that happened.
As the elder sister, she decided to intervene and try to bring them back together.
Speaking highly of Qin Zhenzhen, Su Lan complimented, “You are so capable and wonderful. My Third Brother won’t easily find a wife like you.”
Feeling even more embarrassed, Qin Zhenzhen tried to explain, “Sister, you don’t know the whole story…
But Su Lan interrupted her, saying, “I know. My Third Brother neglected you due to his studies. Don’t hold it against him. He will surely make it up to you.”
Su Bin was embarrassed too. “Sister…”
He did not want to divorce Qin Zhenzhen, not because he already recognized her as his wife, but because he wanted to find out her secret!
His sister must have misunderstood him.
Su Lan glanced at him instead. “Just shut up!”
Then, Su Lan proceeded to praise her third brother, “Actually, my Third Brother is quite remarkable too. He’s handsome and talented in literary pursuits. If he becomes a Cultivated Talent this year, he might advance to Advanced Scholar next year and even top the list. It won’t be hard for him to achieve success.”
Qin Zhenzhen was taken aback by Su Lan’s confidence in Su Bin. If she hadn’t saved Su Lan before, she might have suspected her sister-in-law had experienced a rebirth.
Feeling unable to refute the praise, Qin Zhenzhen smiled self-mockingly, “But I’m not that fortunate.”
Su Lan stopped her, asserting, “What are you saying? You are destined for greatness! I heard from a fortune teller that you will have a prosperous future!”
