As Su Yi spoke, he almost dared not look at Li Yueniang's expression.
His eyes were lowered, and his gaze darted left and right.
Li Yueniang sighed, "I don't blame you. You know, no matter how harsh my words are, I always want the best for you!"
“I was afraid of putting you in a difficult position, so when Xiangxiang asked me to write a letter of understanding, I signed it without saying a word.”
"I've had enough of this farce, it's time for me to move out."
"From now on, you and Xiangxiang should live a good life together."
"Xiangxiang is right. It was indeed me all these years. I was the one who clung to you like a leech, making your lives miserable."
"But Su Yi, I was raised with the traditional virtues of obedience to father, husband, and son, and I really can't be like Xiangxiang..."
Li Yueniang didn't say some things aloud, but Su Yi understood what she meant. After all, just six months after Qin Xiangxiang separated from him, news spread that she was going to marry someone else.
"At home, one must obey one's husband; after marriage, one must obey one's husband; after one's husband dies, one must obey one's son. This is the upbringing ingrained in my bones."
"As long as you are in this world, you are my everything!"
Li Yueniang's words made Su Yi feel as if he couldn't breathe.
He was overwhelmed by guilt.
Li Yueniang is indeed a good woman. In the end, it is all my fault for letting her down!
He made her stay with him, and she never had a single good day. Instead, she spent her whole life toiling, yielding, and making concessions for him...
Seeing Su Yi's unnatural expression, Li Yueniang felt it was about time; she was almost due.
"Alright, alright, look at you, you're still unhappy."
"Let's go back and pack our things."
Back home, Li Yueniang didn't stop to rest. She kept muttering to herself as she packed her luggage.
When Sister Feng knew that Li Yueniang was leaving, she looked at Su Yi with her eyes and asked for his opinion. When Su Yi nodded, her eyes immediately changed and she looked at him as if he were an unfilial son.
Su Yi couldn't stand the atmosphere at home, so he took Xiao Liu and went out.
Li Yueniang watched Su Yi's departing figure, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.
After dawdling and packing up, he started to explain things to Sister Feng.
"Sister Feng, it's so good to have you in this family!"
"I'm leaving today. You'll have to take care of things at home from now on. If they argue, please try to mediate. Su Yi isn't young anymore; he should eat well and rest regularly. If his schedule is irregular, please remind him."
"He had been injured on the battlefield before, and his knees would often hurt on rainy days."
"On rainy days, boil water for him to soak his feet, add a spoonful of salt..."
As Fengjie listened to Li Yueniang's detailed account, she felt very distressed.
She knew that this Sister Li was Commander Su's ex-wife. She had suffered her whole life and finally made it to the top, only to have her husband's wife take the credit.
I never expected her to care so much about her teachers; she's such a kind older sister.
Su Yi stood at the door, listening to Li Yueniang's nagging, and felt even more distressed.
He walked in, clutching the envelope in his hand.
"Hey~"
"This is for you!"
Li Yueniang's eyes lit up, but her hands moved quickly as she took it, muttering, "What? For me?"
"I went to the finance office and got an advance on six months' salary."
“Didn’t you say that Xiangxiang took three hundred yuan from you? Consider the three hundred yuan as compensation from her, and the rest can be considered as nutrition expenses for Meifang to help you recover.”
"If you feel unwell anywhere, go to the hospital immediately. Don't be stingy with the money."
"If you encounter any problems in your life, just come to me directly."
"Even though Changqing and the others aren't in the capital, I'm still here. I won't abandon you!"
Li Yueniang resisted the urge to quickly stuff the letter into her pocket and pushed the thick envelope towards Su Yi.
"No, no, Xiangxiang already hates me for helping Changqing last time."
"Moreover, I also heard from Sister Feng that you had a very difficult time during that period."
"I heard that Xiangxiang doesn't give you any pocket money at all. You're a grown man, always out and about, how come you don't have any money on you?"
"I don't want to make your life difficult because of a little money. I'd rather suffer a little myself so that you can be happy and have a smooth life."
Hearing Li Yueniang's words of concern for him, Su Yi pressed the money back into her arms as if it were burning his hand.
"Just take it. You're not like me. I live in the military area, so my family will never go hungry. I only smoke some cigarettes, so it won't cost me much!"
“You’re out there without any close family around, and you’ll have a lot of expenses. Don’t be stingy. If you can’t do some of the hard work yourself, you can pay someone else to do it.”
Li Yueniang sighed, giving him an expression that said, "I'll listen to you; I don't want to put you in a difficult position."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you."
"You're a good person in every way, except for your stubbornness. If I don't accept it, you probably won't feel comfortable letting me leave."
"But Su Yi, I'll take the money, but what are you going to do for the next six months?"
"How about I keep this money for now? If you ever need money, just come find me. You know where I live anyway, so I'll give it to you then?"
"No need, no need. What I gave you is yours, there's no reason to ask for it back."
“You don’t need to worry about me. Didn’t you tell me the other day that Chang’an and Meifang are not young anymore and it’s time for them to be filial to their parents?”
"If I'm short on cash, I'll go to them!"
Li Yueniang was secretly delighted. Good lad, after taking so many detours, you've finally made it on the right track.
"Yes, yes, Chang'an and Meifang are both paid now, they should be filial to you, unlike Changqing who grew up suffering from childhood."
“Chang’an and Meifang were raised by you with your blood and sweat. They have been raised in luxury since they were young. It’s time for them to repay their parents.”
"Even if you don't say anything, if they were truly filial, they should give you ten or twenty yuan every month."
"I, Changqing, have never met you since I was a child. Now I am far away in the north and south of the country, and I can't even feed myself, yet I still think about you."
"The person you've been raising by your side all this time has become a stranger. Isn't that just being an ingrate?"
"Many of them are soldiers. They only keep a few dollars for themselves each month and send the rest home to support their families."
"Therefore, you need to cultivate this skill from a young age, lest they forget your kindness when they get older."
“Look, you and Xiangxiang are always arguing so much. It’s hard to say whether you’ll side with Dad or Mom in the future.”
"Su Yi, don't take offense at my harsh words, but you'd better be careful!"
Before leaving, Li Yueniang dug a huge pit for Qin Xiangxiang and her son, then dragged her luggage, reluctantly turning back every three steps as she walked out.
Upon receiving Su Yi's signal, bodyguard Xiao Liu quickly stepped forward, "Sister Li, the division commander asked me to drive you there!"
"Oh, okay~"
She also wanted to go to the pavilion to express her sense of righteousness and grievances.
Li Yueniang pursed her lips helplessly and lowered her head, quickly calculating in her mind.
899 + 50 + 503 equals... what is it again?
