Chapter 83 Inferiority
Gu Xiang blinked, and before she could say anything, she heard her niece say:
"So it's actually your ex-brother-in-law who got a new love and wanted a divorce, but he's throwing mud at you? Your mother-in-law called you a hen that doesn't lay eggs, so did you and your wife go to the hospital for a checkup? You know, the inability to have children is not necessarily the woman's fault, it could also be the man's problem."
Gu Xiang was shocked and speechless.
Because she found that her eldest niece's summary was very accurate. In fact, she also knew in her heart that there was such a saying, even because of the interference of her grandmother and Sun Damei.
She seldom had sex with Sun Qiwen, so how could she get pregnant and have a child?
However, when facing the Sun family, Gu Xiang always felt that she lacked confidence, and she did not fight back against these words on the spot.
Shi Guixiang was originally very sad with red eyes, but after hearing what her eldest granddaughter said, she felt that it made a lot of sense.
So the anger in his heart began to burn again: "Okay, this brat is not a human being, I'm going to go and settle the score with him."
It just so happened that Sun Qiwen and the young woman in front had not walked far away. Shi Guixiang felt that she was not yet in her seventies or eighties, and she could still go over and slap that bad boy in the face.
In a flash, when the old lady was about to stand up and go to Sun Qiwen to settle the score, she was stopped by Gu Xiang.
"Mom, forget it. There's no need for that."
"Why?" Shi Guixiang was so excited that she didn't care about her words. "Every child is cherished by their parents. His Sun family also has a daughter. Why do they treat my daughter like this? It wasn't me who cried and begged Sun Qiwen to marry you back then. Why do they want to divorce me now and blame me?"
Gu Wan first glanced at her aunt, then went to support the old lady and consoled her, "Grandma, calm down. Beating someone up now won't solve the problem."
Gu Xiang also said, "Yes, mother, there is no need for that. In fact, I have figured it out. Life in the Sun family is not easy, and our feelings have been worn out over the years. Since we are divorced, there is no need to meet again in the future. I just want to work hard and live a hard life in the future."
That being said, looking at the sadness on Gu Xiang's face, I'm afraid she won't be able to get over it so easily.
However, Gu Wan also understood that, after all, in the county town, their Sun family was the local boss and anything they did rashly here would be inappropriate.
It would be better to find out the situation first. At least we should find out who the person Sun Qiwen is with now is.
Gu Wan gently stroked grandma's palm a few times and shook his head at her.
It has to be said that although the total time they have spent together as a grandparent and grandchild is probably less than a month, their level of tacit understanding can be rated high.
Shi Guixiang also calmed down a lot. She knew that she should comfort her daughter first and deal with the other things slowly.
Gu Wan smiled and held Gu Xiang's hand, saying, "Don't worry, little aunt, it's hard to find a three-legged frog in this world. There are two-legged men running around everywhere. If you leave this one, you will definitely meet a better one next time."
Before Gu Xiang could react, Qi Bin's face froze and his spine felt a little painful.
"Wanwan, you, are you so open-minded?"
"Yes, since the law now clearly stipulates that after a divorce, the man and the woman have nothing to do with each other anymore. The man can find another wife, and the woman can remarry. No one can't live without the other. Isn't it important to be equal between men and women now? Women don't have to rely on men to live. The key is to have the ability to be independent."
These words were not only said to Qi Bin, but also to his sister-in-law who was already divorced.
As grandma has mentioned more than once, she actually doesn't think highly of my aunt's marriage, and it is not necessarily a good thing for a woman to marry into a rich family.
Because of the inequality of status, she would not be valued in her husband's family from the beginning. Since her sister-in-law has divorced, she can start over. Gu Wan will teach her that a woman can survive independently in this world.
As for the former uncle-in-law, haha, Gu Wan never believed in repaying evil with kindness!
Not to mention Gu Xiang’s current thoughts, even Shi Guixiang was deeply touched after hearing her granddaughter’s words.
The old lady held her daughter's hands tightly and said, "It's okay. Since you're divorced, I don't want to say anything more. But Xiangxiang, you have to remember that you are not alone. Your parents and brothers are here. You must speak up if there is anything. We will always be a family."
Just these words almost broke Gu Xiang's defense, and the tears that she had been holding back for a long time finally slid down her cheeks.
Now that the matter has been brought to light, it's no big deal. Gu Wan is right. At least Gu Xiang now has a job that can fully support herself.
As for Gu Xiang's previous concerns, Gu Wan also encouraged her: "Aunt, don't be afraid. You have been working in the supply and marketing cooperative for several years. They can't fire you for no reason."
Gu Wan also told her that there was a Women's Federation in the county, and if the Sun family really dared to do something behind her back, she could just go ahead and sue them.
"As long as you behave yourself and do not make mistakes at work, they will not let you lose your job so easily."
Gu Xiang nodded desperately and realized that she had really thought too much before. Being older, she actually didn't know as much as her niece who had just reached adulthood.
It turns out that girls who come back from provincial capitals are different. Girls from big cities know more knowledge.
Shi Guixiang also said, "Don't worry, I will tell your brothers about this when I get back. You have three brothers and six nephews. Let them come to see you often in the future, so that people will know that your family is large and powerful and cannot be bullied casually."
Just look at the attitude of other people in the supply and marketing cooperative towards her daughter. Shi Guixiang feels that she is also responsible.
Because their daughter refused to listen to advice on marriage and the Sun family had a bad attitude, they seldom came to the city to see Xiangxiang.
That's why the Sun family is so bold as to bully Xiangxiang at will. They will definitely get even in the future.
Because there was still some distance to go back, the few people talked for a while, and then the old lady had to take her granddaughter back.
This time, because Qi Bin was there, there was actually a jeep to take them to the commune.
Gu Xiang was shocked again, and she really realized that the family conditions seemed to be much better after her niece came back.
She watched her mother leave with her eldest niece, leaving her alone in the county town.
Gu Xiang felt very disappointed, but also had a little expectation.
Mom said that after she goes back, she will ask my brothers and nephew to take turns to visit her in the county town. When will they come tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow?
Alas, Gu Xiang felt that it might be a bit difficult. After all, it would take several hours to walk back and forth from the Red Flag Brigade to the county town.
She felt heavy in her heart, with her hands in her pockets.
