Mr. and Mrs. Xi Shu looked as though they had been struck.
"You, how could you do this?"
Mother Xi Shu said with a trembling hand, "I raised you for so many years, and this is how you treat me?"
Sister Xi Shu scoffed, "You raised us to trade us for high bride prices. Isn't that enough?"
"Over the years, the money our fourth sister has sent home has multiplied many times over compared to what you spent raising us. Isn't that enough?"
She was forced to marry a man she did not love and had harbored resentment for years.
Especially since she miscarried after being beaten and was disfigured.
Now, being divorced felt like a release.
Mother Xi Shu couldn't help but step back, tears streaming down her face, "We, we had no choice."
Xi Shu's fifth sister sneered, "Are you going to say it was all Grandma's doing?"
"As parents, you could sell your own daughters. Even if Grandma forced you, you condoned and enabled her. How dare you expect us not to break ties?"
