Xiao Shu had gone mad for some unknown reason. Her parents paid a great price to bring her home, but the organization decided to send her to the countryside for labor education after she gave birth to her child.
Mr. Xiao slapped her several times, shouting angrily, "You unfilial daughter!"
"What's wrong with you lately?!"
"I told you to get a divorce but you wouldn't, and then you went out and acted like a madman. Look at the mess you've made! Do you know how much I've lost face trying to get you out of here!"
Xiao Shu covered her swollen face, and the image of her father chatting and laughing with the bastard outside flashed through her mind, and she couldn't help herself.
"I'm a disgrace to you, but you're not ashamed for having another family outside without Mom's knowledge?!"
"Shut up!"
Mr. Xiao angrily rebuked, "You want to kill our whole family!"
Such a serious disciplinary issue, once exposed, will leave no one unscathed.
Xiao's mother, who had been standing by and had been heartbroken by Xiao Shu and didn't want to get involved, was stunned when she heard these words.
"What?"
What are you talking about?
Xiao Shu felt that if she couldn't have a good life, no one else should either, so she might as well destroy them all.
She recounted the whole story about the illegitimate child, and Xiao's mother fainted after hearing it.
"Get out!" Mr. Xiao shoved her, pointing at the door, "Don't come back to this house, or I'll pretend you're dead!"
Xiao Shu glanced at her mother who had fainted and left. When she returned to the family compound with Li Donghai, the house was empty.
She went back to her room to sleep feeling depressed, but she was too hungry to fall asleep.
When she arrived at the kitchen, there was nothing to eat but cold pots and stoves. With no other option, she had to cook for herself.
She usually eats either at home or in the cafeteria; she would never cook for herself.
She was covered in dust and dirt, and kept cursing.
Where the hell has Li Donghai gone?!
"Can't you see I'm a pregnant woman and I'm starving?!"
Xiao Shu grumbled as she cooked a bowl of porridge and ate it with pickled vegetables. Halfway through her meal, she saw Li Donghai stagger into the courtyard.
She smelled the alcohol and went berserk, grabbing Li Donghai by the collar.
Where did you go? I'm hungry!
Lee Donghae looked impatient. "I'm exhausted from training all day long. If you're hungry, eat by yourself. Don't cause trouble!"
"Li Donghai! What is your attitude towards me now?" Xiao Shu asked angrily.
Li Donghai raised his hand and slapped her across the face. "How else do you want me to treat you? If I hadn't married you and been dragged down by you, would I have been demoted from deputy battalion commander to a mere platoon leader?!"
"From now on, you'll only get fifty yuan a month. Since you're currently unemployed, I'll give you twenty yuan a month. You'll have to take care of your own food!"
Xiao Shu couldn't believe it, her eyes filled with tears. According to the development of her previous life, wasn't Li Donghai supposed to rise step by step to become a leader?
Why was he repeatedly demoted...?
This, this definitely wasn't her fault!
If she hadn't seen Li Donghai secretly take a few hundred yuan and give it to Shen Shuyi, would she have gone crazy?!
Blame it on Li Donghai and that vixen Shen Shuyi for their lingering ties!
"Twenty yuan? Why should I? When you gave Shen Shuyi hundreds of yuan, did you ever think of me? Did you think of the child in my belly?!"
Li Donghai said coldly, "That's money I owe her."
Can he refuse to pay it back? If he doesn't, Shen Shuyi might take it all the way to the Discipline Inspection Commission, and then he'll have no face left to work in this military region!
"Where did you get the money? You're hiding your secret stash of money for Shen Shuyi but not for me. Am I still your wife? You only give me twenty a month!" Xiao Shu couldn't take it anymore and pounced on Li Donghai, tearing at him.
Li Donghai, feeling extremely depressed, came back from drinking outside and forcefully pulled Xiao Shu away.
"You think twenty yuan is too little? You'll know the value of even a penny when you go to the countryside and earn work points yourself."
"You, Li Donghai, what do you mean? I'm the mother of my child, how can you be so heartless as to send me to the countryside?" Xiao Shu couldn't stop her tears.
She was still waiting for Li Donghai to become a leader and take her home, but now Li Donghai was becoming increasingly indifferent to her...
"And where did you get your money?"
This sentence completely enraged Li Donghai, who went on a drunken rampage and beat Xiao Shu.
Xiao Shu quickly covered her stomach, "Stop hitting it, or you'll lose the baby."
The word "child" brought Li Donghai back to his senses a little. He released Xiao Shu and went back to his room without looking back.
Can he tell me where the money came from?
That money was obtained dishonestly to begin with.
At first, he was filled with guilt, feeling that he was not human and had betrayed his country for money.
But now, despite his diligent work, he has been repeatedly demoted by the organization without any regard for right or wrong.
If the organization treats him unfairly, then don't blame him for being unjust!
Since the other party is willing to offer so much money, he can simply make that money and leave the military region!
As for Xiao Shu, he wouldn't want such a jinx. He married her before to gain the Xiao family's support, but now he's not only not getting that support, but he's also being implicated.
Once this woman goes to the countryside, the marriage will naturally cease to exist.
Before that, he needed to find a way to get into the research institute, as they were very interested in what the institute was researching...
...
In late autumn, the weather finally cooled down considerably, but the locals were still worried about the typhoon.
Shen Shuyi updated the typhoon forecasting system, making the meteorological station's reports more accurate. The meteorological station can monitor the typhoon's path even when it forms far out at sea, thus enabling better defense work and reducing local losses.
Seeing that she was pregnant and still so mentally exhausted, Yan Zheng could only keep making her delicious food to nourish her body.
As for the bread oven mentioned earlier, he started making it himself as soon as he got the blueprints.
When his neighbors saw him digging and working, they all offered to help.
