Gu Qiangwei’s newlywed husband went off to the frontlines shortly after their marriage—and was declared dead in action. She loved him deeply. Even after learning of his death, she resolutely re...
"How can there be such people? Why don't they give a penny and still expect their daughter-in-law to support them in their old age?"
"How can there be such a shameless couple!"
…
The people around were shocked and scolded Wang Shufen.
Gu Qiangwei's eyes reddened when she heard these people start to show off. She pretended to be pitiful and said, "When I got married, I got married a few days later after getting married. That same night, my husband took me away to carry out a mission."
"I was alone at home taking care of my parents-in-law, waiting for my husband to come back. But not long after, I heard that my husband had passed away."
"I went from being a virgin to a widow, and they both want me to support them. Since they already want me to support them, it proves that I am their daughter-in-law! I am their son's wife!"
"I asked them to give me part of the pension, but they didn't give me a penny!"
"Under such circumstances, I have no choice but to stay and be taken advantage of. Am I supposed to be their old age supporter for the rest of my life? Why should a young girl like me be exhausted to death by their family at such a young age?"
Gu Qiangwei pretended to be pitiful. As soon as she finished speaking, the people around her started to whisper and talk.
"This is too much!"
"This girl is so miserable! Her husband died before they even consummated their marriage. A young girl has become a widow. Who can accept this?"
"Even though we haven't consummated the marriage, I can't keep saying this to myself when I go on blind dates in the future."
"How could such a good girl have such a fate? These old couple are so mean, they even took the pension for themselves!"
"If we don't give them money now, how can we expect to provide for their retirement in the future?"
"You're really dreaming!"
"I didn't expect it to be like this. It seems we misunderstood this girl just now. We thought she was unfilial!"
…
There were discussions all around, and Wang Shufen was panicked.
"You're talking nonsense!"
Wang Shufen's heart was pounding. "You're just talking nonsense. We gave you all the compensation back then. How could we not give you any?"
"Don't think you can wrongly accuse me just because there are so many people here. I, an old woman, also have my dignity to protect!"
As Wang Shufen said this, she immediately slapped her thigh and acted pitifully.
Gu Qiangwei sneered after hearing this, "This incident was quite a big deal at the time. Everyone in the entire compound knew about it. I have witnesses, and they even called the police. The police also know about it!"
"How about we ask someone?"
"It's because of what you did that I left. I have my own life. Now that you see me, you insist on accusing me of being unfilial. I can't swallow this!"
Gu Qiangwei spoke so loudly that Wang Shufen was startled.
His eyes rolled around, and he was thinking of a solution.
After Su Qingyi heard about this, he immediately stood up.
"Comrade, the martyr's pension should be given to the martyr's relatives, including his wife and father."
"If the martyr has children, they should also have a share. If the martyr's father is still alive but has no children, the pension should be divided into three parts."
"At least one portion must be given to the martyr's wife."
"There is no strict regulation that a martyr's widow must continue to care for her parents-in-law. The widow has no obligation to support the martyr's father-in-law."
