It turns out that he was so eager to kick her aside because he was so successful.
Judging from the Song family's attitude at the time, they had probably discussed it with Song Laosan.
They had been married for three years and had a son and a daughter. Then he said he was going to join the army, leaving the mother and children behind. Ten years passed, and she waited and hoped every day, and endured night after night, raising the two children with great difficulty.
She had wondered what he would be like if he were still alive, and what his circumstances would be, but she never imagined he would be in a high position.
And she became the wife he was so eager to get rid of.
A myriad of emotions swirled and clashed within Qiao Yunni, almost overwhelming her.
She felt distressed, frustrated, angry, and humiliated.
At that moment, a small hand grasped hers; it was warm and soft.
Qiao Yunni looked down and saw warmth and determination in Lian'er's bright black eyes.
Her daughter was encouraging her to look forward bravely and move forward.
The past is the past. She is no longer a daughter-in-law of the Song family and has no need to care about anyone in the Song family.
Yes, everything about the Song family has nothing to do with her anymore, including Song Laosan.
Since he was going to abandon her, why should she still have any lingering feelings or resentment?
It's not worth it for someone like that.
She didn't want to ask Song Laosan why. What other reason could there be? He had simply become successful, and the new had replaced the old.
If she were to make any trouble, she would only be humiliating herself. She couldn't do such a thing; she wouldn't bring shame to the Qiao family.
Qiao Yunni quickly adjusted her emotions, took a deep breath, and tried to think about the matter as if she were dealing with a stranger. She felt much calmer afterward.
Compared to the unexpected arrival of Song Laosan, Qiao Lian'er was more concerned about the young general.
It was Shi Murou's fiancé, Chu Zhuo, who also came.
The other leader, dressed in a gold-embroidered eagle-patterned robe, was none other than the same supervisor, Qu, who had come to inspect the area last time.
The villagers recognized Song Laosan and were very happy, thinking that she would be given special treatment, but she didn't think so.
Old Song was clearly arrogant and looked down on everyone. It was obvious that he didn't care about any local customs or sentiments.
The grain requisition team left some men to guard the roadside, while several leaders led their teams to the dam square.
Soon, Zhao Lizheng was also summoned by the soldiers, and Supervisor Qu gave him a series of instructions.
"Everyone, gather at the dam square."
Zhao Lizheng had his brothers, sons, and nephews relay the message with gongs and drums.
The villagers knew what was going on and arrived quickly. They hadn't slept the night before and all had dark circles under their eyes. They were initially quite nervous, but when they saw Song Laosan, they weren't so anxious anymore.
Supervisor Qu cast a stern glance at the villagers present: "The war in the north requires the support of silver and grain. The regulations stipulate that each household must hand over half of the money. The village has a rough estimate of this year's harvest, and everyone knows how much silver each family has. Don't try to play any tricks, or you will be severely punished."
Song Laosan stepped forward.
