Zhang Shuguang, a struggling author from the 21st century, spent years staying up late writing. He finally died from overwork and became a member of the transmigration army.
However, Zhang Sh...
With food in their stomachs, Chen Suhua and her three children looked much better.
"The children's names were chosen by their grandfather. They're not nice. I'm sorry to have embarrassed my sister-in-law."
Chen Suhua smiled embarrassedly.
"What's so funny about that? A name is just a mark. We call each other that way a lot in the countryside."
Su Hong and Zhang Shuguang also felt that the names of her children were a bit random, but there were children named Goudan and Fenqiu in their Zhang Village. In rural areas, people believed that humble names were easier to raise.
"Sister, when we get to the army, I will definitely criticize your man and vent your anger on your behalf.
We asked you to come with the army, but we didn't even bother to make proper arrangements for you. At least we should exchange your money for some national food coupons!"
Su Hong looked at the pale and skinny mother and her two children and had a very bad impression of Chen Suhua's man.
The suffering she endured during those years was due to special reasons. Apart from those three years, her man had never let her and her children suffer any injustice.
Since Chen Suhua was able to join the army, he must be at least a battalion-level officer, and his allowance alone is over a hundred yuan a month. How could he let his wife and children starve like this?
A man who treats his wife and children so badly cannot be called a good man, no matter how much he contributes to the country, at least not a qualified husband and father.
"Sister-in-law, you are wrongly blaming my child's father. He has no other choice."
Su Hong's concern made Chen Suhua, who was feeling aggrieved, feel a lump in her throat and tears started to fall.
"Sister-in-law, my husband's name is Hu Jianpeng, and he is a platoon leader in the Yunnan Provincial Border Defense Force.
His monthly allowance was 37.5 yuan, and he would send 30 yuan home every month, keeping only a few yuan for himself as pocket money.
My mother-in-law passed away early, and my father-in-law found another one, who gave birth to a daughter, and my father-in-law and I had another son.
Where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. My stepmother-in-law spent all the allowance on her daughter and younger son, and became increasingly harsh towards us mothers.
My husband holds a low position, and my wife and I don't meet the requirements to join the army, but we can't make ends meet at home.
I asked someone to write a letter to my husband, telling him about our situation. My husband borrowed a few dozen dollars from his comrades-in-arms, and secretly sent it to my parents' home along with this month's allowance.
My brother bought us some train tickets and took us to the train station without telling my parents-in-law."
Thinking of the suffering she had endured in her husband's family over the past few years, Chen Suhua couldn't stop crying.
"Big sister, you've suffered so much. How are you going to live in the army?"
Su Hong knew that only family members of battalion-level officers and above were eligible to accompany the troops.
