Liu Ping was the most promising young man in our village. He served in the army and was very talented. Unfortunately, he died on the battlefield in the end.
At that time, the original owner was just over five years old.
Even though there was a pension, Yang Fang married Shen Xiang, the father of the heroine Shen Ping, after being introduced by others, in order to give her and her daughter someone to rely on in the future.
Shen Xiang's original wife died while giving birth to the heroine, Shen Ping.
She had no intention of marrying again, and the reason she agreed to the matchmaker's meeting was only because the matchmaker was a relative of hers.
Unexpectedly, it was this meeting that made him fall in love with Yang Fang at first sight and he wanted to marry her.
Coincidentally, Yang Fang was also satisfied with the conditions.
Each of them has a daughter, who is a worker in a machinery factory. They are allocated a house, and their parents live in the countryside, so they generally don't easily disturb their lives.
The most important thing is that Shen Xiangyu has no son. As long as she gives birth to a son, the Shen family will let her control it.
Over the years, the Shen family's money has been firmly controlled by her, and Shen Xiangxiao loves her son and daughter very much.
Yang Fang touched her daughter's hand distressedly, "Manman, regarding divorce, Mom is an experienced person, so I hope you will think it over carefully. Marriage is not a joke."
"Although Lu Zhengguo is not a good choice as a husband, his ability is good."
"He has died in battle, but he suddenly came back. This means that his current position is definitely not low, and as long as nothing goes wrong, his position in the future will definitely not be low."
"If you follow me, at least you won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future."
"Now that the matter has been settled between you, if you can get along, then go ahead. If you really can't, mom and your dad will support you."
Shen Man was silent for a moment. According to the book, Lu Zhengguo's position in the army was indeed not low in the future.
After the original owner died, he did not remarry, but quietly helped Shen Ping. Several times when Shen Ping was in a relationship crisis, it was basically Lu Zhengguo who stood up to support her.
It was 1974, the decade of special events, and divorce was not a good idea in this year, especially since her reputation was already bad.
Although most people don't know the details of the original owner's drugging and having sex, as long as you think about it, it was originally the younger sister who was unmarried, but in the end he married the older sister.
Considering the original owner's charming face and the admiration of men for her, most people have basically guessed it.
So, getting a divorce now is not a wise move, as it will only make things worse.
Unless she can get rid of her reputation as a seducer, or wait until the college entrance examination is resumed, get into university and then officially divorce Lu Zhengguo.
Shen Man analyzed the pros and cons in her mind bit by bit, and finally decided not to divorce for the time being, and to divorce when the time was right.
She took Yang Fang's arm again and said, "Mom, I've thought about it and decided that we won't get divorced for now. As for the future, we'll just have to take it one step at a time."
Yang Fang nodded, "Since you have decided not to divorce, you should still focus some of your energy on your man and firmly control the financial power of the family to prevent him from cheating on you."
For men, everything else is secondary, as long as they get money and things.
Shen Man smiled helplessly, "Mom, I'm hungry. Let's go back and eat early."
She had no plans to continue her relationship with President Lu Zheng, and she did not want to have too much involvement with him during their marriage.
She saw it anyway, and Lu Zhengguo probably thought the same.
Yang Fang sighed and said nothing more, but she had already started to make plans for her daughter in her heart. She would save more money for her every month in the future.
If the two of them really get to the point of divorce, having money can be considered a way out.
Soon, the two arrived at the large compound where the Shen family lived.
The Shen family and the Lu family were not far from each other. They lived in a large compound just a few streets away from each other and both worked at the Anxian Machinery Factory.
As soon as the two of them walked in from the front yard, Aunt Yang was washing clothes in the yard and saw their figures from a distance.
"Hey, Afang, your Manman is back. I haven't seen him for a while. Manman's face looks even prettier now."
In this compound, who doesn't know the eldest daughter of the Shen family? Before Shen Man got married, there were two young men in the compound who made a fuss because of her.
Although the parties involved did not say clearly who the dispute was about, everyone knew in their hearts that who else could it be except Shen Man, the most beautiful girl in the compound.
Yang Fang calmly placed her daughter behind her and greeted the person with a smile.
"Auntie Yang, I'm doing the laundry. I heard that your daughter Xiaomei is going to work in the countryside. As parents, we should prepare things for our child. We should get ready."
"Xiaomei is going somewhere, but she might freeze to death if she's not careful. It will be autumn soon, and we should prepare quilts and cotton clothes for the child as soon as possible."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Yang's expression changed instantly. She laughed teasingly, "...Haha, it's time to get ready."
Yang Fang smiled and said, "We won't disturb you from washing clothes. We'll go back first."
After saying that, she pulled Shen Man away. When there were no people around, Yang Fang explained to Shen Man.
"You should hit someone right where they are. Aunt Yang is a gossiper and curious about everything she encounters. But she also cares about her reputation. On the surface, she treats all the children in the family equally, but in fact, she is more partial than anyone else."
"There are many children in our family, and Xiaomei is in the middle, the least valued. Obviously, the eldest child should go to the countryside this time, but your Aunt Yang felt sorry for the eldest daughter, so she used her connections to change Xiaomei's age so that she could go to the countryside in her sister's place."
"They didn't even prepare anything for Xiaomei. They're just sending that child to his death."
"Others see through it but don't say anything because they are afraid of her mouth. But I am different. If anyone dares to gossip about you or your brother, I will make her unhappy."
Men were indeed not that important to her, but children were different. Whether they were boys or girls, they were babies she had desperately given birth to.
Shen Man's eyes were slightly red, and she threw herself into Yang Fang's arms, "Mom, you are so nice."
She is now absolutely certain that the mother in front of her is her current mother, because her mother has also said the same thing.
Yang Fang touched her head helplessly, "You are my biological daughter. If I don't treat you well, who should I treat well?"
Soon, the two arrived at the door of the Shen family.
Yang Fang took out the key, opened the door and went in.
The person in the room heard the noise and immediately got up from the sofa and walked over, "Mingchuan, your eldest sister's mother is back."
The little boy who was doing his homework nearby suddenly had his eyes lit up. He dropped the pen in his hand, ran to the door, threw himself into Shen Man's arms, and rubbed his little head against her.
"Sister, you are finally back. I haven't seen you for a long time."
This is Shen Man's half-brother Shen Mingchuan, who is only ten years old now.
Shen Ping, who was standing in the corner, looked at this scene with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.
Obviously, she is the real daughter of the Shen family, but at this moment, she is like an outsider, as if they are the happy family of four.
