They come here to beg for money, whether they have something to do or not.
Director Li is shrewd.
He knew that his wife only took in money and never gave it out. She only gave Wang Yueju a living allowance each month, and kept the rest of the money herself.
He was thinking of giving money to his parents without his wife, Wang Yueju, knowing, so as not to cause him any trouble.
Wang Yueju was just an ordinary person born into a society that favored sons over daughters.
When she was eighteen or nineteen, she attended a literacy class for a few days and was able to recognize a few characters.
When Director Li's parents were looking for a wife for him, they said she had to be literate.
Wang Yueju pretended to be very cultured.
Director Li's parents were illiterate and were fooled by Wang Yueju, who had limited literacy.
Director Li was given a wedding leave and went home to get married.
The girl was eighteen or nineteen years old, a bit dark-skinned, but still very pretty. Director Li slept with her in the bridal chamber.
Later, when Wang Yueju accompanied the army, it was discovered that Wang Yueju's level of education was not even as good as that of a primary school student.
The two even had an argument because of this, with Director Li calling her a liar.
But by then their first child had already been born, so they had no choice but to continue living together.
Having received a few years of formal education, Director Li, who liked to pretend to be cultured, forced Wang Yueju to study.
He's a military officer, after all; it would be embarrassing to take his uneducated wife out in public.
Wang Yueju was forced to study for a year, but she couldn't continue. She also became pregnant, so she gave up studying altogether.
But what she learned was indeed enough.
Later, Wang Gang's wife also came to the army, and it was learned that Wang Gang's wife was illiterate.
In comparison.
Director Li suddenly felt a sense of superiority because his wife, who hadn't even finished elementary school, was literate.
So they stopped pressuring Wang Yueju to continue studying.
However, Wang Yueju was still not good at math, so Director Li was in charge of the family's accounts.
Wang Yueju had been deceived into marrying Director Li, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
She cooks as much food as her husband gives her, and asks Director Li for more money when she runs out.
Life is definitely not as good as when you're in charge of your own affairs, and the food is just average.
But for Yu Mengxian, living in the Li family meant a life of hardship and poverty. Since she had money, she naturally didn't want to suffer.
He took out the money and gave it to Wang Yueju separately, telling her to buy some meat and vegetables.
Wang Yueju wasn't stupid; she knew that Yu Mengxian was complaining about the food at their house, so she paid out of her own pocket to have Yu Mengxian cook for her.
"Young lady, just tell me what you want to eat. How can I have to pay for it? You're such a kind and honest person, beautiful inside and out."
"To be honest, I think you and Deputy Division Commander Shen are a perfect match. What does Wen Qiao have besides being young and pretty?"
"You don't know, do you? I heard from Political Commissar Wang's wife that Wen Qiao is pregnant with three children. Do you think Deputy Division Commander Shen wouldn't care about her?"
"What?" Yu Mengxian was genuinely shocked. "Wen Qiao is pregnant with three children?"
"Absolutely, it's amazing to me."
"So, little sister, even if you like Deputy Division Commander Shen now, how are you going to compete with Wen Qiao?"
Yu Mengxian felt a surge of irritation.
He immediately said, "How could that be? I've known Shen Jichuan for so many years, how could I not know his physical condition?"
Upon hearing Yu Mengxian say this, Wang Yueju immediately became gossipy.
"What's wrong with Deputy Division Commander Shen's health?"
Yu Mengxian looked at Wang Yueju, who had taken the bait.
He seemed reluctant to speak, yet treated Wang Yueju as if she were his own sister, uttering a few unfounded rumors.
"According to you, the child in Wen Qiao's belly may not necessarily be Deputy Division Commander Shen's. Then why is Deputy Division Commander Shen so good to Wen Qiao?"
Yu Mengxian said, "Those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly. We can see things clearly, but those in the midst of it may not know the truth."
