The two sisters stayed in the woods until five or six o'clock when the mosquitoes swarmed in, then they quickly went home to avoid them.

I cooked some millet porridge and ate it casually with the leftovers from lunch.

The mosquitoes in early autumn are still quite fierce. The cave dwelling is very cool, so there's no need to go outside to cool off.

The only downside is the poor lighting; we still need to use an oil lamp.

Cuihong came over to sleep with Cuimei and sorted out the things she had given her.

Fresh wild vegetables, mushrooms, and leftover fruits and vegetables were all stuffed into the food.

"No need to give so much. I won't cook when I get back to school, and I won't be able to finish this."

"If you can't finish it, just take it to give as a gift. I have plenty here anyway, it's not like it's anything valuable."

The medicine you gave me is much more expensive than these things, don't be polite with your sister, just accept it!

He also ordered another batch of seafood for Tang Cuimei, saying, "These should fetch a good price in the capital."

Before Cui Mei could refuse, he said, "I have plenty of space. Our family could eat it all in several generations. You can take it and process it yourself to make some money, so you'll have some extra cash."

Since things had come to this point, Cui Mei felt embarrassed to refuse any longer; she knew her fourth sister was wealthy.

The pearls she had collected alone were enough for them to enjoy for several lifetimes.

Not to mention seafood, he immediately stopped being polite to her.

The two chatted until midnight, and before dawn the next day, they rushed to see Tang Cuimei off without even having breakfast.

She needed to take the military supply vehicle, which departed from the military base at six o'clock every day; if she was late, she couldn't get on.

I had already booked a table with the driver when I arrived yesterday, so it was just in time for me to get there.

"Your sister's leaving already? Why didn't she stay a few more days?"

Cuihong saw Cuimei off as she returned to her cave dwelling, and a passing military wife chatted with her for a few minutes.

"She still has to go back to Beijing to study, and she was just passing through when she came to see me this time,"

Cuihong nodded, smiled, offered a brief explanation, and left, pretending she hadn't heard the question about 'what school'.

I often feel sleepy in early pregnancy, so I took a nap at home before coming to the vegetable garden to water the plants.

She glanced to the left and saw her neighbor's wife walking towards her, standing by the fence and asking her a question.

"Hey, Xiao Hong, did you hear? Battalion Commander Wang's wife got divorced immediately after being discharged from the hospital."

I just saw her family come and take away her dowry and some household items!

Wang Yang and the others lived in cave dwellings on the other side. She had never been there, so she didn't know the situation.

Ever since he found out that his wife was plotting against him, he had reminded Niu Feng to inform his comrades if necessary.

As a result, they spent more than a month on flood relief efforts, and by the time they returned, the woman had already managed to abort the child.

She even prepared for her postpartum confinement, which she originally kept from Wang Yang. However, her older sister, whether intentionally or not, let it slip.

This really stirred up a hornet's nest. No matter how the woman explained, Wang Yang didn't believe the child was lost accidentally and insisted on going to the hospital to verify.

Before she even went there, her in-laws found out that she had miscarried and came over. The family had an argument, and the mother-in-law even got into a fight with her daughter-in-law.

The woman was already physically weak and had just been discharged from the hospital, so how could she possibly be a match for the old lady from the countryside?

As soon as the woman was admitted to the hospital, her family came and beat Wang Yang, causing a huge disturbance.

“You beat my son, I’ll beat your daughter. I’ll beat this bitch to death. She’s just a slut who hogs the job. Are you trying to make our Wang family line die out? We’ve been married for six years, six years! You finally got pregnant, and you had an abortion. Did you do something wrong that you don’t dare let my son know? Is that why you don’t dare keep the child?”

What was said unintentionally was taken seriously by the listener, especially Wang Yang himself, who began to stare intently at her with a look she had never seen before.

Just as he was making her feel uneasy, he suddenly calmed down and said to her in a calm tone.

"Since you don't want to have my children, then there's no reason for us to stay together. Let's get a divorce!"

And so, after the woman was discharged from the hospital for the second time, no matter what, the man insisted on getting a divorce.

Now that all the procedures are complete, it's a final parting of ways.

The focus of the military wives' gossip, however, was whether the child actually belonged to Battalion Commander Wang.

Otherwise, why would she miscarry a perfectly healthy baby? Is it really as she said, that she didn't want to jeopardize her future?

Cuihong was a good listener, half guessing and half guessing as she echoed, very quiet but with clear eyes, relieving the military wife's boredom.

She was probably feeling pent up, and with no one to complain to, even though she was just standing there listening without saying anything, she felt much more at ease.

Who told the city-dwelling officer in the cultural troupe to look down on them, the military wives from the countryside!

Cuihong thought that her cousin in the art troupe was a scoundrel. If it weren't for her constantly stabbing Cuihong in the back, leading to Cuihong framing Cuihong and causing her to abort the child, she estimated that the child could have stayed in her belly for a few more months.

Now that the child is gone, she conveniently revealed the real reason. What is she really up to? Can't the woman's family see through her?

The military wife then recounted her own fate.

"Do you know her cousin? I can tell she's no good. She actually had the audacity to say that Wang Yang would marry her after divorcing his wife?"

Goodness gracious, who gave her that confidence?

Afterwards, not only did Wang Yang ignore her, but his wife's family even hired people to beat up that ugly woman and drive her away!

Do you think this is karma?
