Chapter 433: Selfish Desires Disturbing People’s Minds
Of course, there are not so many surprises and accidents in this world.
After Father Shi and his companions left, Mother Shi's exhausted body didn't last long before she passed away...
The youngest son of the Shi family, who was left alone, was sent to the most difficult frontier area to work.
Because she was the child of bad elements who stayed in the country, her situation was very difficult. Not only was she looked down upon and excluded everywhere, but she could only live in the worst house and do the dirtiest and most tiring work.
Even her original name was taken away, and "Shi Sanmei" was scribbled on her household registration!
Shi Sanmei and Chen Lei's relationship started seven years ago.
"It was very late when I finished my work that day. It was raining, which was rare. It took nearly an hour to get back to the village from the top of the mountain. I couldn't stay on the mountain, so I had to go back in the rain.
When I passed the river bank, I heard a child fell into the water and called for help. I am a good swimmer, so I ran over to save him without thinking. In the end... the child was saved, but I was blinded by the rain and fell into the river. It was Chen Lei who saved me. "
Because the child cried and ran back to find an adult, a large group of people finally ran to the riverside, and they saw Chen Lei holding Shi Sanmei to rescue her. Both of them were wet, and they were behaving intimately...
It’s really hard to explain.
As a soldier, Chen Lei had some responsibilities that he could not evade, and in the end he had no choice but to grit his teeth and marry the girl.
The two of them lived their lives in a muddle.
Everything was good at the beginning. Although Shi Sanmei's background was not good, she was only 19 years old, young, beautiful and talented, and she still won Chen Lei's heart.
The bad thing was that Qiu Xuezheng followed the army after giving birth.
Shi Sanmei couldn't tell what was wrong, but she always felt that her sister-in-law and her husband were having an affair. The two of them often went into the woods without telling anyone and would stay there for an hour or two.
Chen Lei's attitude towards her also gradually changed, becoming more and more indifferent.
At first, Shi Sanmei thought it was her mother-in-law’s problem, because her mother-in-law looked down on her, which was why her husband changed so much.
Her mother-in-law thought she was lazy, so she worked very hard to earn work points and did all the housework she could.
Her mother-in-law disliked her poor class background, so she tried to move herself closer to the poor peasants, not eating a single bite of good food, not wearing a single piece of good clothes...
What he eats, uses and wears are the worst in the family.
But everything was different from what she expected. She could not warm the hearts of the Chen family at all. The only one in the Chen family who cared about her and treated her as a family member was her eldest brother.
Because of Chen Feng's occasional concern, she became a thorn in the eyes of everyone in the Chen family.
No one taught her how to maintain family and marriage relationships, and no one told her that there were big problems in this marriage and it was rotten to the core.
Seeing that her eldest sister-in-law's child was so favored, Shi Sanmei wanted to have another child.
She felt... maybe everything would be fine after having a child.
"When I was pregnant with Huanhuan, I didn't take a single day off. I did more work than usual and didn't even have confinement. My body... was completely ruined."
When her daughter was born, everything was different from what she had expected.
Her mother-in-law accused her of giving birth to a money-losing child, and not only did her attitude become worse, but her daughter was also unwelcome.
The child is now three and a half years old, but he looks like he is two years old.
Shi Sanmei also got stuck in a rut and actually believed it, thinking it was because she gave birth to a daughter. If she had a son, everything would be fine, right?
But Chen Lei hardly touched her, and there was no sex, so how could there be a child?
This pregnancy was a coincidence. Chen Lei touched her when he was drunk.
"That night, I heard my eldest sister-in-law's name from his mouth. He said he hated my eldest brother for taking someone else's love away, and he hated me even more..."
After that night, the relationship between the couple reached its freezing point.
As luck would have it, Shi Sanmei got pregnant when she least wanted to be pregnant.
"He said it himself that he was faking military merit! On the day I found out I was pregnant, he went into my eldest sister-in-law's room. They thought no one was home, but I was actually standing next to the haystack outside the window.
It's not that I want to eavesdrop, it's that he did something worse than an animal, I have to listen! Big brother is such a good person... He obviously didn't have to die, but he killed big brother for the sake of merit and for big sister-in-law..."
The air in the ward seemed to be frozen by Shi Sanmei's story. It was unusually quiet, with only Zhuangzhuang's even breathing breaking the silence.
Shi Sanmei expressed it very clearly, and Lin Anan and the other two heard the story clearly from beginning to end.
Shi Sanmei's voice suddenly trembled, "Before the battle of Laoliangshan, my elder brother discovered that he had an affair with Qiu Xuezhen and wanted to report it to the regiment, but the war was imminent and my elder brother didn't have time to report it! He didn't have time!
Chen Lei was afraid that the matter would be exposed, so he deliberately delayed the transfer of the wounded, causing his eldest brother to lose too much blood... His eldest brother did not die in the battle.
Moreover, during the battle, Chen Lei was ordered to get Lei Zi, but he did not hand the thing over to his eldest brother immediately. It was he who deliberately hid that killed so many soldiers!
That battle was already difficult, but he became the knife that stabbed his own people, just for that little selfish desire..."
Mother Lin covered her mouth and dared not make a sound. She could not control her emotions and tears rolled down her cheeks.
Lin Anan was also shocked when she heard this, "How dare he..."
Shi Sanmei laughed, her laughter was filled with tears and blood, "In that battle, he was not the only one who survived. As long as the military district sends people to investigate, there will be evidence."
"Then you said you had evidence."
"Yes, I have eighty-five letters written by Chen Lei and Qiu Xuezhen, from the time they met and got to know each other to the time they had an affair. This is irrefutable evidence!"
"Where is the letter?"
"I secretly brought it to the northwest when he wasn't paying attention, and now I'm hiding it."
Mother Lin slapped her thigh and said, "Then the Chen family has gone back. What if they find us first?"
Shi Sanmei shook her head. "If they can't find it, I'll bury it next to the stone pillar at the entrance of the Chu family. They can find it if they dig. It's in a tin box."
Lin Anan: “…”
Are you hiding in your own home?
Shi Sanmei's words were like a sharp blade, exposing the old sins in front of everyone.
Lin Anan suddenly remembered what Chu Mingzhou often said: "The most terrifying thing on the battlefield is not the enemy's guns and cannons, but the betrayal of your own people."
People like Chen Lei are too selfish and have lost the essence of a soldier. They really deserve to die!
Seeing that she had finished speaking, Gu Yan glanced at what he had written down and stood up, "I'm going to make a phone call."
Mother Lin stood up and said, "I have to go back. I should have asked Old Lin to leave later."
Gu Yan stopped the man and said, "You stay and take good care of An An and the child. I will handle it."
Mother Lin reacted, breathed a sigh of relief, and sat back on the bed. "Okay, you can call the military district. Okay, remember to tell Mingzhou about this."
Gu Yan hummed lightly, turned around and left the ward.
Lin Anan didn't know how to comfort the poor woman in front of her.
If we talk from an emotional point of view, she had just lost her child, and had been brainwashed and oppressed by the Chen family for so many years. It was not easy for her to struggle in this den of financial wolves.
But from a rational point of view, a blessing in disguise? It is better to lose the child. If the child is born, she may still not be able to see clearly and report her husband. She will continue to keep her mouth shut and live a miserable life, and both children will suffer.
