As Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking, the Wu family's gate opened, and Commander Wu came out carrying his wailing son.
Qu Ying's curly hair was a mess, and her face was covered in tears.
She grabbed her son's leg and said, "I gave birth to four children for you, and I risked my life to bring this son into the world. We can get a divorce, but the son will stay with me."
Qu Yu was a step behind. Seeing Qu Ying pulling her little cousin, she quickly went up to pull her hand away, saying, "Auntie, you're hurting Xiao Bao by pulling him. Let go quickly."
"This time you were in the wrong, how could you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qu Ying slapped him across the face.
"Get out of here, you have no right to speak."
"Auntie..." Qu Yu covered her face, sobbing softly with tears streaming down her face, but still continued to persuade her, "No matter what, you can't hurt Xiao Bao."
I don't know which word provoked Qu Ying.
She scratched her son's leg hard with her fingernails, and blood gushed out.
Xiao Bao cried so hard he looked like he was about to faint.
When the sisters-in-law saw that the bleeding had started, they rushed over to try to persuade and pull the person away.
"Let me go! You're my son! What right do you have to talk to me like that?"
Commander Wu covered his son's leg with a handkerchief. Seeing Qu Ying acting like a madwoman, his eyes were filled with disappointment, but he didn't know how to express it.
As if resigned to her fate, she left with the words, "I will explain the real reason for our divorce to the military. I will let you go, and you will let me go too."
After saying that, he left with his son.
Qu Yu watched his retreating figure, thought for a moment, and decided not to follow. With the help of her sisters-in-law, she helped Qu Ying into the house.
After Commander Wu left, Qu Ying stopped acting crazy and sat there quietly, staring blankly at the ground.
It was as if the person had lost their soul.
Her sisters-in-law felt bad for her when they saw her.
"Sister Qu, it's inevitable for couples to have disagreements in their daily lives. Talk things over calmly. Commander Wu isn't an unreasonable person."
"Yes, they have children, how happy they are, there's no need to make such a big fuss."
Regiment Commander Wu is now forty years old, and Qu Ying is thirty-eight. They had three daughters before finally having a son. Regiment Commander Wu has a high allowance, and the family lives a harmonious and happy life.
How did things escalate to this point?
Qu Ying also wanted to ask. Yes, although her marriage to Lao Wu was something she had planned, after so many years of marriage, apart from her not-so-good temper, she had been impeccable in her treatment of him.
How did it come to this?
She went back to her parents' home, and Old Wu said she was unfaithful to her husband, had affairs, and was making a fuss about getting a divorce.
She didn't flirt with anyone.
How could she not know?
Qu Ying forced herself to calm down.
When her sisters-in-law saw that she was ignoring them, they left, leaving only Qu Yu and Qu Ying in the room.
Seeing Qu Ying's thoughtful expression, Qu Yu felt a pang of emotion and began to cry softly.
"What are you crying for? Your aunt isn't dead yet." Qu Ying's thoughts were interrupted, and she shouted irritably.
Qu Yu squatted down beside her legs and said pitifully, "Aunt, should I go back? You and Uncle... I'm a little scared."
Qu Ying suppressed her anger and glanced at her. "Your parents told me that I must find you a good match this time. If you go back, who am I supposed to find one for?"
As she spoke, thinking of Qin Yushen and Lin Xiaoxiao who had moved in across the street, she glared at her irritably.
"I told you not to be so picky. Apart from his poor background, what about Battalion Commander Qin is not outstanding?"
"Now look what's happened. Your uncle is making a scene and wants a divorce. If you still don't like me, we might as well go back to the countryside and farm."
Qu Yu's eyes flickered. "Aunt, aren't you going to find Uncle? What if he really submits the divorce papers...?"
"Impossible." Qu Ying shook her head with absolute certainty. "I have given birth to four children for him. He would never divorce me. He was just saying it in anger."
Clearly, she hasn't realized the importance of the problem yet.
Qu Yu didn't try to persuade her any further. With a slight smile, she left the room.
Standing in the courtyard, I looked up at the morning sunset; how beautiful it was.
It represents hope!
Lin Xiaoxiao squatted at the door with a bowl in her hand, looking at Qu Yu across from her, and happily slurped up a mouthful of porridge.
"Come over here and eat the eggs." Qin Yushen peeled the hard-boiled eggs, put them in a bowl, and called to Lin Xiaoxiao.
"Coming," Lin Xiaoxiao replied crisply.
Qu Yu turned his head to look, but only saw her cheerful back.
He lowered his eyes, concealing the fleeting emotion that crossed them.
—
Last night, Qin Yushen decided on the number of people coming to dinner—more than twenty, enough for three tables.
The table at home isn't that big, so when Lin Xiaoxiao gets off work, the deputy battalion commander will bring people to the logistics department to move the table over, so she doesn't have to worry about it.
To be honest, she didn't have to worry about much.
The dishes were prepared by Qin Yushen, and the rice was cooked by Qin Yushen.
She helped prepare the ingredients and tend the fire.
In the family compound, Lin Xiaoxiao met Sister Wang, Sister Lü, and Sister Hu, whom she had chatted with at the guesthouse before.
Hu's child has had a slight fever for the past two days and hasn't been out much.
Her husband was a battalion commander in the Third Regiment, and he wasn't originally on Qin Yushen's invitation list. Lin Xiaoxiao thought that the two of them were on good terms, and since they had invited Sister Wang and Sister Lü, it wouldn't look good if she hadn't. So she asked Sister Lü to go back and tell her.
Not long after breakfast, Sister Wang came over.
Before long, Sister Lü arrived carrying a bag of beans, and Sister Hu arrived with a basket of fresh vegetables.
Now Lin Xiaoxiao is even less busy.
The three sisters-in-law were quick and efficient, and they took care of everything that needed to be done in no time.
