Ye Qing had transmigrated into a book — into a 1970s military marriage novel — as a “background wall.” a character who only existed in the conversations between the female and male leads.
"But you can't go with us! Ye Lan doesn't even know you exist. She's just a rural woman and has never seen a leader as big as you. Aren't you afraid of scaring her?"
Liang Shouxin was stunned for a moment: "It seems... it seems to make some sense! But, how would she know if you didn't tell her? Do I look scary?"
Ye Qing muttered in her heart: It’s quite scary!
The first time I saw him, I thought his eyes were scary, full of murderous intent! Now that I'm used to seeing him, I don't think it's a big deal.
If Ye Lan met him, she would definitely be nervous.
"cough!"
Qin Ye couldn't help coughing and opened the lunch box: "Eat, eat first. We'll talk about this later. Qingqing, eat quickly, I'll go get a pot of hot water."
Looking at Qin Ye fleeing in panic, Liang Shouxin seemed to understand something, sighed and did not insist any more.
…
On the other side, Liang Shouxin’s courtyard.
Zhang Dongling returned home. She pried open the door, threw all her valuables into a bag, and ran out with the bag on her back.
I just happened to bump into the waiter Xiao Sun.
He had just gone to the backyard to take care of vegetables. When he heard some noise in the front yard, he came over to check. Only then did he discover that Zhang Dongling was trying to run away with the valuables.
Liang Shouxin had told him to take good care of the house. No one except him, Ye Qing and Qin Ye was allowed to approach the house, let alone take away a single needle or thread.
It was obvious that he was guarding against Zhang Dongling, and she actually came to his door today. How could Xiao Sun let her leave?
He stretched out his long arm and said, "Madam, the commander has ordered that no one can touch the property in the house at this time, otherwise they will be charged with theft."
Zhang Dongling opened her mouth to curse, but he continued with a cold face: "The chief said that if anyone forcibly takes away any grass or tree here, he should be sent to the police station immediately and dealt with after he is discharged from the hospital. I hope my wife won't make things difficult for me."
Zhang Dongling held the bag tightly in her hand.
She can't lose these things!
She married Liang Shouxin for these things in the first place, otherwise why would she like an old man at such a young age?
Isn't it because she thinks that since he is rich and a war hero, his future life will definitely be good. As long as she can make him happy, everything in the house will belong to her, right?
Her life in her mother's family was settled, and her disappointing younger brother could also find a wife.
Who knew that Liang Shouxin was such a stubborn person. No matter how she coaxed him, he refused to help his brother find a job, saying that he could join the army and how far he could get would depend on his own ability.
Damn it, if he had the ability, would I need to beg you?
But Liang Shouxin was not stingy. She had taken a lot of things from her parents' home over the years. She also asked for a lot of money on the pretext that her child had gotten into trouble, and gave part of it to the victim's family, and the rest to her parents' home.
This time his son got into big trouble and he was completely furious.
Not only did he send his son to prison, he also wanted to divorce her, saying that she would never get a penny of the family property.
This is outrageous! I have been eating and sleeping with him for so many years, and I gave birth to two children for him. He wants to kick me out? No way!
With the threats and inducements from her family, she had no choice but to take the risk today.
She knew Liang Shouxin was in the hospital, and now was her best chance to take things. She wanted to take all the jewelry, gold and silver, and passbooks! She would leave every penny for Ye Qing!
