"Bro, aren't you being muddled?" Si Xiaohui said in a fit of exasperation. "Even if it doesn't matter, we should take more property during the divorce! Otherwise, wouldn't you just waste two years of your prime? You're already divorcing her, might as well go all out. Why are you still considering her feelings?"
Who doesn't want to claim as much property as possible during divorce? Why on earth is her brother being so foolish?
That being said, she was upset at the timing of her brother divorcing Tong Yao.
Why now? Why not sooner? Why not later? His divorce comes just as their uncle faces trouble. If their uncle ends up in jail, their eldest brother is divorced and without his assets, their second brother is unemployed, will their family revert back to their old poor lifestyle?
Having tasted a life of wealth, Si Xiaohui dreaded returning to the days of poverty when they barely had enough to eat and wear.
