"I wanted to buy more, dry them, and send them home. Chu Xia is still at home," Shi Yue explained.
Only after being reminded by her did Liang Yueming realize that she did have a younger sister-in-law in the countryside!
Although Chu Xia is not her sister-in-law by blood, she and her two brothers often visit the family because her mother-in-law and her sister are close.
She and Yu Chuxia also have a good relationship.
So Liang Yueming left, saying, "Yes, yes, we should send something back to Chuxia. She's pitiful in the countryside; she probably doesn't have anything good to eat."
She walked into the yard, looked at the seaweed, and said, "There looks like a lot of seaweed, but actually there isn't much after drying. I'll go with you tomorrow morning and see if there's any good ones, so I can buy some too and send them to Chuxia together with yours."
Shiyue nodded: "Sister-in-law, you can buy some and send them home. I'm planning to go to their village with Lixuan this afternoon to buy some other things to send back to my uncle's family. Do you want to come with me?"
Hearing Shi Yue say this, Liang Yueming was tempted.
Although this thing is worthless here, it is a rare and precious item that can only be supplied during festivals in Jiannan!
My parents will be very happy if I send it back.
But then she remembered how her family had treated her before she left home, and her heart sank.
She gave a bitter smile and said, "No need, I don't have anyone at home to send things to."
Shiyue glanced at her with a hint of surprise, then quickly changed the subject, never mentioning a word about home again.
It seemed they didn't want to reopen her wounds.
But Liang Yueming had already seen through her parents' hearts, so how could she be moved by just a few words?
Liang Yueming returned to her in-laws' house.
As soon as he entered, He Liping poked his head out from the kitchen.
He looked outside and asked, "Where are Lixuan and the others?"
Liang Yueming smiled and said, "They bought a lot of seaweed today and are sorting it out right now! Shiyue said she's going to dry it and send it to Chuxia. I was thinking, shouldn't we buy something and send it with them too?"
He nodded after hearing this.
He said, "Since they've already bought seaweed, let's not buy any. This afternoon I'll ask Political Commissar Qi what kind of seafood they have that's the best, and then we can buy some too."
Not only should we send some to Chuxia, but we should also send some to Uncle Shen. We were able to come here with Shiyue thanks to the help of Uncle Shen and his family.
"Didn't I tell you? If Feiyi and the others hadn't arrived in time, it's hard to say whether we would have survived that situation."
Thinking back on the experiences her husband had told her, Liang Yueming still feels lingering fear.
She immediately nodded: "Okay, go ask. We don't know much about this stuff, so we don't know what's good. But I think the more expensive ones are probably better. Ask if they have sea cucumbers or anything like that, and if they do, we'll buy more. That stuff should be suitable for older people."
She glanced into the inner room and said, "I'll buy some for Mom and Dad too, so they can get some nourishment."
He Liping's expression softened even more.
He looked at his wife and asked, "Why don't we send some back to your parents too? Even husbands and wives don't hold grudges overnight, let alone mothers and daughters."
“No need!” Liang Yueming’s face immediately darkened.
She immediately retorted, "I have no parents. They've written a statement severing all ties with me, declaring to the whole world that they've cut all ties with me. Where would I find parents? Don't bring this up again, and don't try to persuade me. If you do, I'll turn on you!"
After saying that, she ignored He Liping and went straight to her mother-in-law's room.
Watching his wife storm off, He Liping's expression turned bitter and guilty.
If you really didn't care, why would you get angry?
His wife still won't let him mention it, which shows she hasn't gotten over this hurdle yet.
After all, they are their own parents, so it's hard not to feel resentful.
But thinking about what that family had done, He Liping shook his head helplessly.
He suddenly realized that it might be better not to persuade them; perhaps it would be better to have parents like that than to have them.
Otherwise, who knows how many more troubles await them.
As long as I treat my wife well in the future, so that she feels at ease and doesn't feel helpless, she should gradually get through that hurdle, and everything will get better.
At this moment, Liang Yueming was in a really bad mood.
Being mentioned about her parents twice in one morning brought up the humiliation she had been trying to forget, causing it to resurface and pierce her heart once more.
Liang Yueming felt that she would probably remember what happened that day for the rest of her life!
When Huo Bai sent someone to pick her up, Liang Yueming was on leave and was washing clothes at home.
It was a Sunday, and the courtyard was crowded with people. Almost every household had their doors open, and people were coming and going in the open space in the middle.
Suddenly, Aunt Wang from the neighborhood office brought in two people dressed in military uniforms.
Upon entering the courtyard and seeing her, they called out, "Yueming, come out quickly! The leaders of the Provincial Military Region want to question you!"
Her shout startled everyone in the courtyard, and they all turned to look in her direction.
Liang Yueming rushed over without even wiping her hands.
The two soldiers saw her and asked, "Are you a relative of He Liping? Your name is Liang Yueming, right?"
Liang Yueming nodded nervously.
The two men looked around, frowned, and then pointed outside, saying, "Come with us for a bit; we have something to tell you."
Just as the three of them were talking, her parents heard the commotion and came out.
Seeing that she was about to follow, her father mustered up the courage to come closer and ask, "Comrade, are you here to investigate He Liping? Is it because of his family's affairs?"
A soldier looked at him and nodded, saying, "Yes, we've been entrusted to find out about He Liping's family situation."
After saying that, they gestured for Liang Yueming to go out with them.
The two men led Liang Yueming to a jeep parked at the entrance of the alley, invited her into the car, and then introduced themselves to her.
Liang Yueming then realized that the two men had been entrusted by her husband to pick her and her child up.
The reason I didn't want to talk about it in the hospital was because it involved confidentiality clauses.
Liang Yueming immediately expressed her willingness to go with them.
After the two soldiers inquired, they promised that they would take care of matters such as the workplace and household registration.
They will handle it for her as a military dependent accompanying her to the military base, so she doesn't need to worry.
After agreeing on a departure time with the two comrades for the next day, Liang Yueming returned home.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard her mother arguing with Aunt Wang: "Although she is our daughter, a married daughter is like water spilled from a bowl! Now that she has married into the He family, she has nothing to do with us anymore!"
Whether she lives or dies is none of our business! I'm going to the office to write a letter severing ties with her, and we'll throw all their things out in a bit! We absolutely must cut all ties with her!
