Later, as everyone expected, the two got married.
Not long after the marriage, Xu Lingzhen discovered that she was pregnant with Cen Yue.
The military art troupe was busy all day, and she had severe morning sickness, so she had to resign from her position as captain to focus on her pregnancy.
My mother did not become devastated by losing her job.
On the contrary, she was looking forward to Cen Yue's arrival and quickly adapted to life as a housewife.
She can always find her comfort zone in the most difficult environment.
When her morning sickness wasn't severe, she would play the piano for the baby in her belly.
Xu Lingzhen is confident that she can be a good mother.
She even believed that Cen Anguo would be a good father.
At that time, Cen Anguo was indeed praised by everyone.
His wife was pregnant and had a fondness for sour fruits, so he searched all over the military area for sour fruits, and his arms were covered with scars from thorns.
Normally, if you just give the order, someone will do it, but he said, "I take care of my wife myself."
He even ran to other people's homes and begged them to teach him how to make pickles.
No matter how busy I am, I will cook by myself.
Just to let Xu Lingzhen eat a few more bites of rice.
He always said, "Lingzhen, thank you for your hard work."
People of that generation were conservative in their thinking. They believed that every woman had given birth to a child, so how could she be as delicate as Xu Lingzhen?
Commander Cen spoils his young wife too much.
He also said that old men and young wives are different, and they will be more caring when they get older.
At that time, many girls even declared that they also wanted to find an older man like Teacher Cen.
Xu Lingzhen and Cen Anguo were both looking forward to Cen Yue's birth.
Originally, the family of three should have been ordinary and happy.
But the world is not a fairy tale.
As Xu Lingzhen's belly grew bigger, Cen Anguo went home less and less often, sometimes not seeing her for ten days or half a month.
Not even a single explanation.
At that time, Xu Lingzhen didn't think much about it. She just felt that he had his responsibilities and she could understand.
One day, Cen Anguo came back, but not alone.
Following him was a young couple who looked dusty and dusty.
The young man in his early twenties was pulling at the corner of Cen Anguo's clothes, his eyes darting around.
Seeing Xu Lingzhen, he even shrank back behind Cen Anguo, "Dad, why don't I go back to my hometown?"
The young man was timid, and Cen Anguo's eyes were full of heartache.
"Lingzhen, he is my own flesh and blood after all. I can't just watch him suffer in the countryside and pretend I didn't see it."
Cen Anguo took her back to the room and persuaded her with both emotion and reason.
"I want to take them home to live with me. You can understand me, right?"
Xu Lingzhen suddenly realized that Cen Anguo was different from her.
She was overconfident and thought she was Cen Anguo's destined one.
In fact, it is just one of the flowers in the bush.
Cen Anguo patiently explained to her, "I was young at the time, and the marriage my family arranged for me doesn't count! I didn't lie to you. You were the only one who got married to me."
That's right.
But before her, there were four women who gave birth to his children.
He just brushed it off by saying he didn't know.
Facing Xu Lingzhen's questioning, Cen Anguo retorted: "You know, at that time there was war and I was away from home all year round. I didn't know these children at all."
He tried to argue: "Lingzhen, the only one I truly love and am willing to marry is you."
Shortly after that, Cen Anguo began a large-scale search for his relatives and brought back his six sons one after another.
The youngest is only five years old.
It just so happened that their mothers either died or remarried, leaving the children alone and helpless.
No one thought Cen Anguo did anything wrong.
I just feel that he has sacrificed too much for the country.
Not only did I leave my hometown at such a young age, but I have also been separated from my family for so many years.
He protected the people and put his own family before the public.
Xu Lingzhen should understand his suffering.
After all, Cen Anguo just didn't want his flesh and blood to be stranded outside. What's wrong with that?
Xu Lingzhen was 23 years old and had become a stepmother to six children before she had even given birth to her own.
The oldest one is even one year older than her.
How ridiculous!
Wherever she went during that period, she was met with gloating looks.
As much as those people envied her in the past, they sympathized with her now.
But this kind of sympathy is more of a topic of conversation after dinner, or it is a relief that everyone is in the quagmire.
Xu Lingzhen is proud.
The greater the hope we had at the beginning, the deeper the disappointment we feel now.
The news that Xu Lingzhen wanted to divorce Cen Anguo soon became known to everyone.
But how could Cen Anguo agree?
How could she divorce a military marriage just because she wanted to?
People kept coming to mediate and persuade.
They all advised her to be more open-minded and have a broader perspective.
It is said that if you gain something you must pay for it.
Xu Lingzhen refused to listen. They also said that she was ungrateful, deep-minded, and only wanted to reap the benefits without doing anything else.
During this period, Cen Anguo made several attempts to improve his relationship, but Xu Lingzhen remained indifferent and insisted on getting a divorce.
Things have remained at this stalemate.
It was useless for Xu Lingzhen to go to the military court.
In the eyes of outsiders, a couple who seemed to be in love eventually became a couple of enemies, and the bubble illusion they had created before marriage was about to burst.
If a pregnant woman is depressed, the result can be imagined.
After giving birth, she was carried to the military hospital covered in blood, but she still bit her lips stubbornly and held Cen Anguo's sleeve tightly.
"I want my child to live!"
"Cen Anguo, if you treat him badly, I will never let you go even if I die!"
Cen Anguo's eyes were red enough to bleed, but he still refused to agree to her request. "Lingzhen, you raise your child yourself! If you die, I will take all my hatred for you onto him!"
When Cen Yue was born, Xu Lingzhen took a look at him.
Before she breathed her last, she said, "Luckily it's a son."
Song Yiyi hugged Cen Yue's waist. The rain soaked both of them. She heard endless sadness in Cen Yue's voice.
She still sat on the horizontal bar, raised her eyes and looked at Cen Yue seriously, saying, "She felt that if it were her daughter, this cannibalistic family would devour her without leaving a single bone."
Cen Yue pursed his lips tightly, "Hmm."
"Do you blame her?" Song Yiyi said in a soft voice.
Cen Yue felt the warmth in his arms and said calmly, "I don't blame you."
Song Yiyi was silent for a moment.
She actually didn't quite understand Cen Anguo.
It's true that this man is cold-blooded and selfish, but Song Yiyi vaguely felt that something was wrong.
During the several encounters, he could have killed her completely, but he always left some room for her.
Of course, Song Yiyi would not be so stupid as to think that she really had Cen Anguo under control.
That time at the door of the regiment office, that time at the clinic, and that time when they entered the Cen family's house, on the surface it seemed that they had the upper hand, but in fact it seemed more like Cen Anguo did it intentionally.
Someone who can sit in that position.
How could she be so angry with just a few words?
And as for that red envelope and that cup of tea, if Cen Anguo doesn't want to drink it, no one can threaten him.
"What's wrong?" Cen Yue's low voice came, "Are you cold?"
