"He's done a good job of planning what he wanted!"
Chen Liniang gritted her teeth and said, "He wants to go back with you and wants our family to give him a few shops so that he can live a comfortable life!"
Father Chen and Mother Chen's faces were filled with anger. Is he relying on the Chen family?
Why does he think they will give him a shop?
If he was still a deputy general, it would be okay to buy him two shops in the imperial city. But now, he has nothing, and he still wants the Chen family to pay for it?
No way.
"Don't even think about it."
Father Chen said angrily.
"There are no doors."
They brag to others every day that their son-in-law is the deputy general under the general who governs the country, and he can also become a general in the future.
But now the son-in-law wants to go back with them and ask them to support him in the shop. If those people in his hometown know about it, won't they laugh to death?
They can't afford to lose that person.
Wenxu didn't expect that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would have such a big reaction. After all, they had never been ambiguous about giving money and things before.
"Father, mother, I want to reconcile."
Chen Liniang said with red eyes.
This Wenxu was nothing, and he didn't have her in his heart. He aborted their child and still wanted the Chen family to raise him. She didn't want to live with him anymore.
The expressions of Chen's father and Chen's mother changed again. The son-in-law lost his official position and it was embarrassing for their family to be in trouble, but the daughter Heli was even more embarrassed.
"I disagree."
Wenxu shouted, fearing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law would agree to their divorce after listening to Chen Liniang's words.
His family didn't have much money, and he didn't save any money himself. If he and Chen Liniang were to reconcile, he wouldn't be able to live a prosperous life with hordes of slaves.
It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. He can no longer live the past life.
Father Chen said with a straight face: "Don't talk about Heli anymore. It is impossible for my Chen family's daughter to reconcile. Our Chen family cannot afford to lose this person."
Wenxu felt relieved when his father-in-law said this.
Chen Liniang didn't even think about it. If she divorced him, he could marry again, but could she marry again?
Even if someone is willing to marry her, the Chen family cannot afford to lose this person.
"Dad..." Chen Liniang stamped her feet and said, "Do you still want me to spend my whole life with this worthless loser?"
Mother Chen looked at her daughter and said, "If you make peace, outsiders will only think that there is something wrong with our Chen family's daughter.
In the future, it will also affect the marriages of your nephews and nieces.
Besides, if you get divorced, can you remarry?"
A good girl will not marry another husband. Even if someone marries her, she will be scolded in the spine.
Wen Xu clenched his fists. It turned out that Chen Liniang's love and admiration for him before was only because he was a deputy general. Now he is no longer. In her eyes, he is a loser.
"What should we do?"
Father Chen took a deep breath, looked at Wen Xu, and then at his daughter.
"I'll discuss it with your mother."
The two elders of the Chen family discussed it for a long time before they came up with a solution. First of all, reconciliation was impossible.
It was impossible to ask Wenxu to go back with them and give him a few shops in the city.
They decided to buy them a small house and shop in a small town near their hometown, so that they could live in the small town.
As long as the shop is run properly, life won't be too bad.
Although it was very different from what he thought, Wenxu still obeyed the arrangements of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Chen Liniang didn't want to do this, but she could only accept her fate.
After all, she is not Shen Wan. She cannot build a career on her own without relying on anyone like her. She cannot do without the Chen family.
Three days later, the Chen family sold their house in the Imperial City, and Wen Xu and Chen Liniang left the Imperial City with the two elders of the Chen family.
On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, as night fell, a secret letter, eight hundred miles away, was delivered to the palace.
That night, the emperor summoned all civil and military officials to go to the palace overnight to discuss matters.
