Zhao Guoming had no sympathy for Shi Yueling, who was courting death. "When you were forcing me to get married, why didn't you mention freedom of marriage? You wanted to force me to die, and I wouldn't stop you. Only your parents would be sad, and Fu Jingchen wouldn't change his mind, so why bother?"
Fu Jingchen treated his love rival with his usual coldness and venom. "Just because you like me, do I have to marry you? Even if you dive into the water 10,000 times, I won't save you. You, Shi Yueling, make me sick."
"Yu Cuihua and her daughter, Gan Qi and Hu Pandi, you are slandering our innocence. I hope the captain will uphold justice!"
Zhao Guoming did not give them a chance to quibble and directly announced that they would all carry manure for a week, write a 1,000-word self-criticism, and publicly admit their mistakes in the threshing ground. If they protested, they would have to add another week.
Hu Pandi and Gan Qi suddenly became dispirited.
Yu Cuihua looked fierce, rushed over and slapped each of them twice, "If you curse my son again next time, I will never let you go!"
After she finished speaking, she changed her target and started punching and kicking Shi Yueling and her daughter.
Shi Yueling seldom worked in the fields, so she was no match for the shrew Yu Cuihua. The mother and daughter were pinned down, their hair pulled and their faces slapped.
The villagers chose to stand by and watch, and no one wanted to get involved in this muddy water.
"Brother Jingchen, save me..." Shi Yueling burst into tears, with several scratches on her face.
"You'll suffer the consequences if you do evil." Fu Jingchen didn't even look at her, treating her as if she were air. He took Gu Wanwan's hand and turned away.
The next day, news came that Shi Yueling was packed up by her parents and sent to the Ding family, just like taking a concubine in ancient times. There was no horoscope matching, no betrothal gift, no three turns and one ring, no pomp and circumstance, and even the groom was saved from picking her up.
After all, it is a shameful thing. Just set up two tables and invite relatives and friends, and the wedding will be considered a success.
Shi's parents knew Shi Yueling's situation very well. Marrying into the Ding family was like jumping into a fire pit. Shi's family tried to struggle until the Ding family threatened them with accounting jobs. Shi's parents could only compromise and let their daughter down. They gave her a dowry of 200 yuan, a quilt, bedding, a ceramic basin, a kettle and so on. Everything was kept simple.
Yu Cuihua is a powerful mother-in-law. She started to torture her daughter-in-law on the wedding day and set rules to show her power. Shi Yueling's hard days are still ahead.
Shi Yueling is doing something stupid and she will have a miserable life in the future. This is not something Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan should be concerned about.
Qian Mei'e would come to Gu Wanwan to chat whenever she had nothing to do, sharing first-hand news with her, "Why is such a good girl so depressed? Yu Cuihua and Ding Yanli have been making trouble for the new bride every other day, forcing her to work and only allowing her to eat after paying ten work points a day. I just ran into Shi Yueling, she was beaten up with wounds all over her body, and she looked several years older."
"In fact, the Shi family really loves their daughter. At most, they will firmly disagree with the marriage. Can the Ding family force her to marry? In the final analysis, a daughter is not as important as her future. Alas, men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. My eldest son is coming back, and I have a headache when I think of my annoying daughter-in-law, Ma Lai-di, coming back with him. Today, my husband quarreled with my youngest son again."
Fu Jingchen asked her, "What's your son's name?"
Qian Mei'e told the truth, "Eldest son Jiang Chengshi, youngest son Jiang Zhengyi, what's the matter?"
"So it was him. He was seriously injured in the leg during the mission and has been discharged." Sheng Qing's eyes widened, and he just realized, "So Ma Lai's husband is Jiang Chengshi. He made military achievements and was promoted to company commander. To be honest, Jiang Zhengyi is much better than Jiang Chengshi. Jiang Chengshi has average ability and mediocre performance. He always hides behind others when doing missions, but he made achievements, which is really surprising."
He had suspected many times whether he had falsely claimed other people's military merits.
Fu Jingchen and Gu Wanwan exchanged a glance and understood what his wife had conveyed. "Sheng Qing, I have something for you to do."
Sheng Qing received a secret mission and went out immediately.
Qian Mei'e felt a little uneasy, "What's going on?"
"It's okay. I can treat your youngest son's leg." Gu Wanwan mentioned casually, "Your husband is quite partial. Is your eldest son your biological son?"
"Is it really curable? Thank you so much, Sister Wan." Qian Mei'e excitedly held Gu Wanwan's hand and talked to her about family matters. "My eldest son is actually my eldest sister-in-law's biological son. He is very filial to me. I couldn't give birth to a son before, and was always despised and bullied by my mother-in-law. My sister-in-law reluctantly gave her eldest son to me. Unexpectedly, the eldest son brought blessings. Later, I gave birth to my younger son. Maybe it was because the eldest son was very capable and my husband was more partial to him."
Zheng Shican couldn't help but complain, "This is too biased. The younger son's leg injury was not his will, and it's not completely incurable. How can you force someone to retire? It's like removing obstacles for the older son. People who don't understand think that the older son is the biological son and the younger son was adopted."
Qian Mei'e frowned helplessly, "My youngest son is my biological son."
Zheng Shican always speaks her mind, "The eldest son is your husband's biological son."
"Sister Qian, your eldest son is not honest at all." Gu Wanwan sighed and clapped her hands silently, thanking Zheng Shican for his accidental success.
Qian Mei'e thought Zheng Shican was joking and joked with him, "Sometimes I also thought that the eldest son was his biological son, but my sister-in-law is so virtuous and kind that she would never joke about her own reputation!"
"By the way, Sister Xia, won't you stay a few more days?"
Xia Tingyue waved her hand and said, "No, my second son has found a girlfriend and I have to go over to take a look. I've been out for too long and my husband Zheng has to go to work."
"Wan Wan, can you help me calculate whether my second son's partner is his true love?"
Xia Tingyue and his wife had long been convinced of Gu Wanwan's special abilities, and it was always a good idea to ask their goddaughter for advice when there was something going on.
Gu Wanwan took out the tortoise shell copper coin and made a simple divination. "Godmother, this is not the right fate. Your son is too obsessed with love. The other party is a money-eating beast. If you don't handle it well, it will endanger the family."
