Jennie opened the door, and the two sisters walked in.
Norman had not come back yet, he probably went to the hospital to treat the wound.
Since yesterday, he had been to the hospital frequently.
Sure enough, it was bad luck for a man to lose his wife.
The old man and old lady of the Sinek family were sitting on the sofa.
Jennie's eldest sister-in-law was also there.
The three family members had long faces, like three plague gods on the sofa.
Looking at the situation, they knew that they had been notified by Norman.
In the past, the youngest sister-in-law liked to meddle in this kind of matter the most.
However, the youngest sister-in-law had a miscarriage two days ago as they found out that the child in her womb was a girl.
She was probably doing confinement at home and could not go out.
As the two sisters came in through the door, Mrs. Sinek spoke first.
"Jennie, I have something to tell you."
Jennie didn't change her shoes, she walked in and said coldly, "Speak, I'm listening."
For the first time, she didn't care to greet her mother-in-law as "mom".
The old woman's face darkened, and she said, "You and Norman have been married for almost ten years, why are you so inconsiderate? Men are occasionally playful, and they would do something out of the ordinary, he can change and that should fix it. You are still a good couple!"
"As the saying goes, it is better to demolish ten temples than to destroy a marriage. How could you let someone sow discord easily, request to divorce Norman, and to tear apart a good family?"
"Something is weird today," Jennie sneered, "Based on what I know about you, I guess as soon as you heard about this, you united your family to play me like a fiddle. Why are you not like before? Why are you persuading me with nice words now?"
"Jennie," The old man said, "For the sake of our two granddaughters, we are still a big family. We can't talk about separation without caring about anything."
"Wow," Jennie sneered, "It's the first time I heard from you that the two granddaughters are part of the family, didn't you say they are losers?"
Old Mr. Sinek, "..."
"Also," Jennie looked at Mrs. Sinek, "What do you mean by men are playful occasionally, and they could just change it? You are his mother, you can say that, but I am his wife, I can't tolerate it! If your old man is playful and cheats with other old women behind your back, and even conspires to drive you out of the house, can you forgive him?"
Old woman thought. How can I forgive him? I will tear him apart!
"So you two, don't just talk without standing in my shoes," Jennie said coldly, "I have moved on, I will take the initiative to give way to your new daughter-in-law, and let her, no, let you go be filial to her! I won't serve her anymore!"
"Jennie!" The eldest sister-in-law stood up suddenly, "How rude of you! No wonder Norman called you a shrew! You are uneducated!"
"Shut up!" Doris stood in front of her sister, pointing at the eldest daughter of the Sinek family and said angrily, "Who are you, it's not your place to speak here!"
Eldest sister-in-law said, "I'm Norman's sister, why don't I have a place to speak here?"
"Your father said, all daughters are losers, and once a daughter is married, she is no longer related to the family! You don't have a place to bullshit here!"
"Who are you then, to stand a place to bullshit here!"
In fact, the two of them knew each other, but at the moment they were talking too quickly, and they confronted each other.
"What's the matter?" Doris was angry, "Your family bullied my sister, and can't I speak up for my sister? Do you expect me to stand by and watch?"
The old lady of the Sinek family remembered that her son had told her that Jennie now had a strong backing behind her.
Be it the Rykers, Adelmar, or the Imperial Palace, any one of them could crush the Sinek family to death with a flick of their finger.
The old woman hid her arrogance and said to Jennie, "Jen, we are a family after all, so don't talk about separation anymore. When Norman comes back, Mom will ask him to apologize to you. You still have to live a good life."
"How will I have a good life? …
