Qiao Wanyue looked at the old woman with admiration. She was a sensible person. If it were anyone else, they would have happily kicked out the first wife and served the new wife. After all, the first wife was nothing but a burden and could not provide any support for her son.
The old woman didn't think so. She was quite superstitious and had learned a little bit from her master in her younger years. However, when the fight against feudal superstition came, she shrank back and obediently hid with her daughter-in-law.
But she was still secretly superstitious. She knew that her son's success today was all thanks to his wife. Without his wife giving birth to her grandson, that boy would never be where he was today. If he abandoned his wife and remarried, he would be in trouble sooner or later.
“Auntie, we’re also in the army,” Lu Xingxing said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the old woman...
I ran into someone I knew.
Their eyes are brighter now.
Despite her outward composure, she was secretly panicking. She'd heard that the young man had gotten involved with the daughter of some high-ranking official. What if she and her daughter-in-law were framed, and that ingrate and vixen decided to kill them without hesitation? What would become of them then?
The old woman asked cautiously, "Does your husband hold a high-ranking official position?"
Lu Xingxing was taken aback.
“My brother, we’re looking after him. His official position is alright, but if we don’t know him, he probably can’t control your son.” Lu Xingxing didn’t want to cause trouble for her brother, but if they were really superiors and subordinates, she hoped her brother could stand up for their aunt.
It's not easy being a woman in this world.
The old lady simply sat down next to Lu Xingxing with her child in her arms.
“My son’s name is Xie Yiran. He’s a company commander in the Third District of the Northern Military Region. He just received a commendation and they said he’d be promoted to staff officer or something, I can’t remember exactly. He’s not with that vixen yet, but he says that his previous marriage was an arranged one, which he doesn’t acknowledge. They didn’t have a marriage certificate. In this new era, he wants to marry the person he loves,” the old woman said indignantly.
Now that her unfilial son has grown up, there's nothing she can do.
Qiao Wanyue and Lu Yunqi exchanged a glance.
Lu Yunqi seems to be from the Third Military Region of the Northern Military Region.
What a coincidence!
Lu Xingxing said, "Auntie, don't panic. Even if he doesn't acknowledge it, it's not up to him. It's a de facto marriage. As long as your daughter-in-law can stand up for herself and dare to make a scene, no one can get past her." Lu Xingxing knew a little bit about the policy.
The old woman sighed.
“Daughter, to be honest, if she were to stand up for herself, I wouldn’t be coming. I’ll stay home and take care of my grandson. If she comes to cause trouble, I’ll bring my grandson over after she’s settled things here. I won’t let the child suffer.”
Lu Xingxing glanced at the sleeping woman.
silence.
“Auntie, don’t worry. You can’t make a scene now. If you really make a scene and ruin your son’s future, what will happen to you, your daughter-in-law, and your grandson?” Lu Xingxing comforted her.
"Then what should I do?" The old woman didn't know either. She had originally planned to cry with her child at the entrance of the military area to make that unfilial son turn over a new leaf.
But this girl is right. If she really ruins that ungrateful wretch, she won't have a good life either.
But we can't let that ungrateful wretch marry that vixen.
She'll be furious!
Qiao Wanyue said, "Auntie, don't worry. We'll go over together later and ask what's going on. According to what you just said, your son hasn't gotten his marriage certificate yet. As long as he hasn't gotten his certificate, you can cause trouble."
"If the woman doesn't know he's married, that's easy to handle. But if she does know he has a wife, that's even easier. Just report it to the military leaders and ask them whether your son wants his future or a beautiful woman."
The old woman was relieved.
"Girl, thank you. Can I go with you for a bit? That ungrateful wretch doesn't know I'm here, and I don't know where to go." She took out five yuan from her pocket. "This old woman won't let you help me for nothing."
Lu Xingxing glanced at her second sister-in-law.
Qiao Wanyue gave Lu Xingxing a look, signaling her to accept the money.
