Grandma had wondered about Juliana's marriage and now she heard that Juliana had married Benson.
She was even more astonished, "Jill, you're married to Benson Leach?"
Juliana nodded, "Yes."
Grandma trembled slightly, "Is it that crazy Benson Leach in F City who is mentally ill and has beaten seven or eight women away in a month or so, making all the women in F City afraid of him?"
Juliana frowned and answered in a slightly cold voice, "Grandma, he's not crazy, and he's not mentally ill."
Selene also said, "Yes, Grandma, Benson is very nice to Jill."
Grandma got angry, "How nice can he be? Benson is a madman and a murderer. Even if he's nice to Jill today, he might do it to her tomorrow."
She took Juliana's hand and ordered directly, "Grandma does not approve of this marriage. Go and divorce him now! You must get a divorce!"
Suzanne hurriedly pulled Grandma, "Mom, Jill finally got married to a family like the Leach's and Benson treats her well, so why ask her to get a divorce?"
Jermaine said, "Mom, it's the Leach family. If Jill really asks for a divorce, they will make it difficult for our family."
Selene hurriedly added, "Benson really treats Jill well and he won't beat her. Even if ...... even if he does, that won't kill her."
On hearing this, Grandma broke out in a cold sweat and gasped, "We don't sell our daughters. I'll never let Jill go to her death even if I have to offend the Leach family."
Seeing that Grandma did not look quite right and was having trouble breathing, Juliana hurriedly helped her sit down, "Take it easy, Grandma, talk slowly."
Juliana stroked Grandma's back and pressed the part of her hand between the thumb and the index finger.
