Married At First Sight By Gu Lingfei

Jasmine continued, "Some of these families push their sons into divorcing their wives, thinking they can find someone better, but what ends up happening? The ex-wives move on and remarry with ease, while their sons can't find anyone willing to marry them. Look at the world we live in-there are already so many single men struggling to find a wife. Isn't there a saying now that goes, 'If your wife hasn't left you, consider yourself lucky'?" While running her store, Jasmine often chatted with the neighbors and overheard plenty of gossip. Many were from other towns and had wild stories to share.

"There's always some toxic mother-in-law in the village who hates her daughter-in-law," Jasmine added. "She'll stir up trouble, push her son to abuse his wife, and even convince him to divorce her, promising they'll find a younger, better one. But once the divorce is finalized, the truth comes out. The mother-in-law's meddling reputation spreads, and no one wants to marry their daughter to a man like that-especially one who's known for domestic violence. And let's not forget the bride price these days; it's way higher than it used to be." She laughed bitterly.

Why would any woman go back to a man like that, especially when she's happy with her new life?" Jasmine paused before adding, "That's exactly why Hank's parents are so jealous of Liberty. She didn't just move on-she married into a wealthy family. They can't do anything about it, so now they're focusing their efforts on Sonny." Serenity sighed. "Chelsea's goal is to butter up Sonny. She's trying to get close to him now, hoping he'll help her kids in the future. It's all about what they can gain."

Hearing this, both Jasmine and Elisa cursed Chelsea without holding back.

"They're unbelievable," Elisa fumed. "Back then, Mr. and Mrs. Brown spoiled Chelsea's kids rotten while barely pretending to care about Sonny, their own grandson. Now that Sonny has a bright future ahead of him, Chelsea thinks she can manipulate him into supporting her children? It's disgusting."

Do you remember when the Browns tried to take Sonny away and hide him? If it weren't for the York family stepping in, who knows if Liberty would've ever gotten her son back." Jasmine shook her head, thinking about how many women in similar situations lose their children
