Chapter 195: Bullet-shot Leg
"So, sister-in-law, what are your plans?"
"What else can we do now? We're the ones who suffered the loss in this matter. The money I gave him before is just like feeding the dog. From now on, his money and mine will be separate, and I will never have any financial disputes with him again."
When Mrs. Wei said this, she was somewhat emotional.
Su Wan could also understand her feelings. Who wouldn’t be upset if they met a man like this?
When they got married, Mrs. Wei always stood by him through thick and thin, but now, he cheated, lied, and committed domestic violence, which is simply unacceptable to Mrs. Wei.
Sometimes when she was alone, she wondered if her husband had been possessed by someone else.
How else can we explain how a person can become a completely different person in such a short period of time?
How could the man who shared the same bed with her every night and had children with her become such a stranger?
After saying that, Sister Wei suddenly looked at Su Wan, "Wan Wan, I know you are trustworthy. Can you promise me one thing?"
"Sister-in-law, just tell me what you want to say. I can help you in any way I can."
"After I've paid off all my family debts, I want you to help me save all my future wages, except for living expenses."
Sister Wei looked at Su Wan with hope in her eyes. "You know, there's no love between us anymore. I still have a son, but I don't want to spend all my hard-earned money on a pair of bastards."
She gritted her teeth as she said this.
Su Wan understood what Sister Wei meant and nodded, saying, "Of course, that's fine. As long as Sister Wei trusts me, I can help you keep all this money for the time being."
"Wanwan, thank you so much!"
This was the countless times that Sister Wei had expressed her gratitude to Su Wan.
Because besides thank you, she didn't know what else she could do.
"Sister-in-law, there's no need to express gratitude. You've always been there for me since I came to the compound. Every time we ran out of vegetables, you took me to your garden to pick them. I still remember all that."
Mrs. Wei said a little embarrassedly, "Vegetables are not valuable in the countryside. Even if we sell them, they only fetch a few cents."
Nothing can compare to the care Su Wan gave her.
"That's not the case. My sister-in-law cooks all these for my own good. Otherwise, even if the other sisters-in-law in the compound have more food, they won't send it to my house."
Su Wan also remembered the advice that Sister Wei had given her and how she had spoken up for her in the compound. She had not forgotten this kindness.
"So, you are kind-hearted..."
Mrs. Wei sighed deeply, "I definitely can't divorce him. I just hope he doesn't have any other thoughts. It's fine for the two of us to just live together like this."
Since she couldn’t get a divorce, Mrs. Wei really had no choice.
When she got married, she didn't think too much about it, and she never thought that her man could do such a thing in the military camp.
It's too late to regret now.
"Everyone has to look forward. Sister Wei, you are still young and have plenty of time to take things slow."
Mrs. Wei got married early. She got engaged to Wei Ping at the age of nineteen, got married at the age of twenty, and is now almost thirty-one.
Thirty-one was indeed a bit old in the 1980s, but in later generations, there were a lot of young people who were thirty years old and not married, and no one wanted to get married so early.
Of course, there were fewer people getting married early in the 1980s.
For example, people in Beijing usually get married after the age of 25. Generally, they will be urged by their families to go on blind dates when they are 27 or 28 and still have no partner. By the time they get married, they are almost 30 years old.
"He wants to waste time, so I'll just play along. I also want to see who can outlast him."
"If you feel uncomfortable, then go back to the store. I can rent a house next door for you to use as staff quarters."
"Wanwan, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I can't keep bothering you."
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from outside.
Soon, the sound was getting closer.
"Something happened to Captain Chen. They've lost contact!"
When Su Wan heard this, her body trembled violently and she grabbed the table beside her. Xiaohua hurriedly held her hand.
"Sister Wanwan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'll go out and take a look."
She staggered out of the door, and Mrs. Wei behind her wanted to call her to be careful, but before she could say a word, she had already left.
Xiaohua also looked at her sister worriedly, "Sister, is that Captain Chen from Sister Wanwan's family?"
Sister Wei said with concern, "That's your sister Wanwan's man."
"ah……"
Xiaohua let out a soft "Ah!" and then said worriedly, "Sister Wan will definitely be very worried that night!"
"Go outside and listen to what they are saying. See what's happening with Captain Chen."
"Sis, I'd better stay here and take care of you!"
"I can move on my own. I don't need your care. Go out and see what happened."
Mrs. Wei urged Xiaohua to go out. She was lying on the bed, feeling very tired.
She looked at the milk powder on the table and wanted to put it away, but thinking that Xiaohua was here, she was not in a hurry and wanted to wait until she came back.
When Su Wan went out, he heard many different versions of the story in the military camp.
It turned out that Chen Yuan went out on a mission because the underworld forces in Hong Kong Island had been a bit lawless recently, so he wanted to seize all their goods.
Unexpectedly, when Chen Yuan led the team to the sea to intercept, the news leaked out somehow. He took his men on board to intercept, but he was injured in the leg and was pushed into the sea by a little Luo Luo and disappeared.
They seized the cargo of three ships, but found that Chen Yuan was not there.
They searched for the person in the nearby sea area for nearly a day but couldn't find him. Now they suspect that something has happened to Chen Yuan?
After hearing the news, Su Wan couldn't help but shed tears.
She still remembered Chen Yuan telling her that he wanted a promotion, and that he could be promoted to deputy regiment commander after making merit this time. But Su Wan wanted nothing. She just wanted Chen Yuan to appear in front of her safely, and nothing else mattered.
Seeing Su Wan crying uncontrollably, the political commissar and others who arrived soon saw her and comforted her:
"Chen Yuan hasn't been found yet. We're still searching for him in the nearby waters. We'll let you know as soon as we find him. Don't worry, Chen Yuan has always had good luck. He'll definitely be fine."
