As expected, Daniu said in a low voice, "After my mother found out that Yu was exiled to the southwest, she demanded that we sever ties with my uncle's family, or else she would divorce my father. My father naturally disagreed, and a fuss ensued. It got overheard and that's what led to the rumors spreading all over the county town."
The old lady sneered, "So, did your mother get her divorce?"
"...No."
"Always causing trouble, yet still not as sensible as your third aunt." Madam Liang was the first to hear of the matter. She also knew to keep her lips sealed as she came to the county town to speak with her, not mentioning a word about breaking off relations with Sanzhu.
Madam Liang, as talkative as she was, managed to keep this secret for so long. How could Boss's wife be so foolish? Does she not realize that if this matter blew up, the first to suffer would be her own children?
Look, even Daniu faces immense difficulty when trying to purchase goods.
