"What's going on?" Old man Liang rushed over and saw Miao Chunhong making a scene at the door of Liang Jinheng's room.
Liang Jinheng stood aside and looked at her expressionlessly, unmoved at all.
Old Man Liang felt even more uneasy.
Although Liang Jinheng used to have a stern face, it was never as cold and angry as it is today.
"What are you doing, old woman? Get up now! Do you have any shame?"
Old Man Liang quickly pulled Miao Chunhong up.
Unfortunately, Miao Chunhong has her own knowledge. Like most country women, she believes that people are afraid of having their family's dirty laundry made public, especially those with higher status who care more about face.
Isn't that exactly the case for someone like Liang Jinheng?
The famous military officer in the surrounding area would come to see him even when he went home during the holidays.
How could such a person allow others to laugh at his own joke?
He must be afraid that the matter will get out of hand, so he will have to agree to the request that I will make later even if he doesn't want to!
So when Old Man Liang pulled her, Miao Chunhong tried to sit on the ground but couldn't get up.
Not only did he not get up, he howled even louder.
"Old man, I don't want to live anymore. I have no face to live in this world! The boss blames me for torturing his wife. This is the biggest injustice in the world! He doesn't believe me, so I might as well die!"
Old man Liang almost cursed Miao Chunhong to death in his heart, because he saw that Liang Jinheng's face was getting worse and worse, and it seemed that his patience was disappearing bit by bit.
"Get up right now! Aren't you ashamed to sit on the ground at your age? You are even worse than two children!" Old man Liang scolded Miao Chunhong a few words, but couldn't pull her up. He could only look at Liang Jinheng again and said helplessly.
"Boss, look at this, there must be a misunderstanding. How about you get your mother up first, and then we can go to the main room and talk about this slowly?"
It sounded as if Liang Jinheng didn't want Miao Chunhong to get up.
Liang Jinheng's patience ran out.
"She likes to sit on the floor, so she can sit there for a while. As for other things, let's talk about them after I finish washing the dishes."
Old Man Liang and Miao Chunhong: "............"
Talking about business is not as important as washing dishes?
It doesn’t matter who washes this bowl, can’t Wen Wan wash it?
Both of them asked the same question in their minds at the same time, feeling extremely frustrated.
Liang Jinheng stopped looking at the two people's surprised expressions, turned around and went back into the house to sit down.
The door was not closed, and he saw Miao Chunhong's dumbfounded expression when she saw him turn around and leave.
Do you really think he is stupid?
Liang Jinheng thought expressionlessly.
Someone who really wanted to commit suicide would shout so loudly, and while shouting, he would secretly glance at his reaction, as if he was afraid that he didn't see it.
Now that the protagonist has left the stage, Miao Chunhong’s play can no longer be performed.
Old man Liang felt that his face didn't matter at all. His old face was about to be ruined by Miao Chunhong!
This time he increased his strength and managed to pull Miao Chunhong up, then dragged her to the main room with a dark face.
The yard was quiet.
Wenwan's heart was no longer calm.
She didn't expect Liang Jinheng to be so decisive and not be fooled by Miao Chunhong at all.
Wen Wan had actually seen Miao Chunhong in that state many times.
Every time she didn't want to do something according to Miao Chunhong's instructions, she would either act like a mother-in-law and teach her a lesson, or start crying and complaining, threatening her that if she didn't obey, she would make it public and let everyone know that Wen Wan was unfilial, and even Liang Jinheng's reputation would be affected by her.
She also said that the army cares the most about personal reputation. If the news gets out there, Liang Jinheng's work in the army will also be affected. She is endangering the whole family!
It was precisely because of these things that Wen Wan endured it again and again.
But Liang Jinheng's reaction now told her that he didn't seem to care about the rumors or other people's opinions of him at all.
This made Wen Wan feel absurd and ridiculous.
So, what was the point of her previous persistence and forbearance? Did it become a meaningless self-sacrifice?
Wen Wan was feeling very upset at the moment.
She seemed to realize that she had made a stupid mistake before.
But still holding on to the last glimmer of hope, he asked Liang Jinheng, "Aren't you afraid that people outside will say you're unfilial?"
Liang Jinheng knew that she was referring to his indifference to Miao Chunhong's behavior just now.
Liang Jinheng saw her nervous expression and thought Wen Wan was worried about him, so he explained.
"There's no need to worry about this kind of thing. I can think whatever others want to think. I've done what's right. No matter what others say, it has nothing to do with me."
Wen Wan asked, "What if these things get to your unit? Will you be affected?"
Seeing her anxious expression, as if she was very eager to know the answer to this question, Liang Jinheng felt puzzled.
"Wanwan, what are you worried about? I'm no longer in the army, so it won't affect me. Besides, even if I haven't retired yet, these unfounded things won't affect my work."
"The military has strict discipline. Unless you're a family member who's applied for entry, no one else can enter. So, these reports from the countryside can't get through there. Even if some rumors really did reach my leader, the first thing he'd do would definitely be to ask me to verify the situation, and then conduct a detailed investigation. He wouldn't blindly believe these reports."
"Besides, doesn't my old boss know what kind of person I am? The receipts I send back every month are all here. They are all evidence."
Liang Jinheng was very sure of what he said, so it was obvious that things would develop as he said.
But when Wen Wan heard this, it was like a wake-up call.
She had never expected that everything she had thought would turn out this way.
She is still a high school student, how could she be so stupid!
Wen Wan gritted her teeth, feeling sad and regretful for her stupidity over the past four years.
Obviously, she only needed to find Liang Jinheng and ask him, but for some reason, she never asked him even once in the past four years.
When she now recalls the past four years, it seems that many things have become blurred in her memory.
She only remembered that she had a hard life, with endless work to do every day. Her mother-in-law was dissatisfied with her in many ways and ordered her to do this and that. In her daze, she only remembered that the reason she did this was for Liang Jinheng and for the good of the family.
She had just woken up and had not thought about these things carefully. Now, after listening to Liang Jinheng's words and trying hard to recall the past four years, she felt that there were problems everywhere and nothing was right.
She took a deep breath and thought of the book, and a wave of anger mixed with panic hit her heart again.
She asked Liang Jinheng like a drowning person grabbing at a straw.
"How do you think I am compared to four years ago? Have I changed? What's different?"
Liang Jinheng frowned and looked at her. Noticing Wen Wan's impatience, he quickly comforted her, "Wan Wan, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"
"If something really happens, you can tell me and we can find a way to solve it together."
Wen Wan pretended not to hear him and asked him persistently, "Answer me first! How am I different from four years ago?"
Liang Jinheng had no choice but to answer her question first. He stared at Wen Wan for a few seconds before speaking in a deep voice.
"Nothing's different. It's still as beautiful as before."
Wen Wan pinched him and said angrily: "...Answer me seriously!"
"Hmm, if there's anything different, it's that you've been holding something in your heart for the past four years. Sometimes you seem to want to talk to me, but when I ask you, you say there's nothing."
It was also because of this that Liang Jinheng later sent more and more money home. He didn't know why Wen Wan was unwilling to open her heart to him after marriage. Since he couldn't find out what was wrong, he could only ask his parents to help take care of her.
However, Wen Wan had something hidden in her heart and was unwilling to tell him, which made Liang Jinheng feel uncomfortable. Even though he tried his best to make Wen Wan closer to him every time he came back, it didn't seem to have much effect.
Sometimes, he even felt that Wen Wan was wearing a mask on her face.
She seemed to be playing the role of a "wife", and like most "wives", she took care of the house, took care of the children, and ran around.
But she was just a "wife", not his once lively and passionate lover who dared to laugh and make noises.
After listening to this, Wen Wan became more certain of her previous guess.
It turns out it was all that damn plot and damn book that were causing trouble!
No wonder she couldn't remember many things that happened over the years and was confused by what Liang Jinheng said. Of course, it was because many things in these years were not what she wanted to do or was willing to do. The author needed his "early deceased ex-wife" to do so, so it turned out like this.
Her real person was completely covered up by the identity of "ex-wife who died early"!
So what kind of shit is the author of this book!
Wen Wan was so angry that her teeth were about to break!
That crappy author wanted her to die according to the plot development, and only hurriedly explained her life in one sentence, and then let Liang Jinheng be with that new wife, right?
Bah! I won’t let it have its way!
She insisted on going against the plot today!
