Chapter 308 I Can't Live Without You
Song Lubai took the lead in meddling in Miao Feng's family affairs, as she didn't want to drag Wei Yang into the mess because of her meddling.
Hearing Tang Xuewen's donkey-like wailing, Song Lubai said to the people gathered around, "Everyone, disperse. We have to go to work tomorrow, and it's getting late."
It was already completely dark. Although we couldn't see anything from here, we could only go back to bed and sleep. It was more interesting to watch the excitement from here.
It took a while for the people to disperse.
Guo Yanhong hadn't left yet; instead, she talked with Miao Feng for quite a while.
Tang Xuewen had smashed the house clean. Miao Feng was afraid to continue living under the same roof as Tang Xuewen, so they had already agreed to move to the courtyard of a family they were on good terms with.
I don't know when, but Tang Xuewen stopped howling, but he sat on the threshold for a long time without moving.
Guo Yanhong walked up to him and said earnestly, "How could you smash everything in the house? You can't find a man like you for miles around. How are you going to find a wife in the future?"
Tang Xuewen remained silent. Song Lubai, worried that Guo Yanhong would provoke the spineless Tang Xuewen, said against her will, "It's nothing to make a little mistake when you're young. You have a long life ahead of you, Comrade Tang. You can't blame us for not helping you. Who told you to lose your child? Can you live with yourself?"
Tang Xuewen wanted to spit in her face.
The child was aborted, so be it. If it weren't for their meddling, Miao Feng wouldn't have been so blinded by greed to divorce him.
The strange thing is that the guild leader said, "There are plenty of single guys in the guild!"
One sentence made Miao Feng feel that she had a way out.
Seeing that Tang Xuewen remained silent, Song Lubai changed the subject and said, "But if you continue to smear my man, I guarantee you won't be able to find a wife. I'll tell every woman you date what you've done. There might be many young women joining our corps in the future. If you don't change your ways and dare to slander my man again, I'll ruin all your good plans. Anyway, someone like you would only bring trouble to other women if you got married."
Tang Xuewen wanted to curse, "You have such a vicious heart!"
When Tang Xuewen glared at Wei Yang, he immediately withdrew his gaze before it fully materialized.
Damn it, even the regimental commander's wife knows to protect her husband, while Tang Xuewen has become someone who has been abandoned and divorced by his wife.
Wei Yang looked at Guo Yanhong, the women's federation cadre who was about to go home, and said, "Tell your new director tomorrow that after the autumn harvest, we will conduct ideological education classes in each company to promote the idea of gender equality at home, prohibiting hitting people, and jointly managing the family. Have your director come to see me tomorrow."
The women's federation staff member nodded quickly.
Tang Xuewen had a bad feeling.
In carrying out ideological education, shouldn't Tang Xuewen become a model for educational lessons?
His reputation will be ruined throughout the entire regiment! How will he ever find a wife again?
Tang Xuewen had nowhere else to go since his house was smashed up. Fortunately, the weather wasn't too cold, so he could make do with sleeping on the floor for the night.
Miao Feng also slept on a makeshift bed in someone else's yard not far away.
As soon as Song Lubai entered the room, Wei Yang slammed the door shut, put one arm around Song Lubai's waist, and led her to the bed.
Song Lubai sat on the edge of the bed, looking at him and saying, "If you think I acted like a shrew today..."
"My wife is amazing."
Song Lubai sensed pride in his tone and looked up to see his eyes sparkling.
She rubbed her arms slightly, feeling a little uncomfortable.
Remembering that she had used such a vulgar term as "bitter tea seed" before, she avoided his gaze and asked uncertainly, "You're not being sarcastic, are you?"
Wei Yang bent down and pecked her on the cheek. "My wife just stood up for me so bravely. How could you think I was being sarcastic?"
Song Lubai curled her lips slightly and snorted, "From now on, you can't meddle in other people's business. If someone bullies me, you have to stand up for me, so no one will try to smear you."
She herself cannot bear to hear men hitting women; if she does, she can't help but want to intervene. But next time, she will not meddle in Miao Feng's affairs like she did. If something happens again, she will go to the Women's Federation.
In the stillness of the night, the only sounds are the chirping of insects and the calls of birds.
Miao Feng, who was sleeping in the courtyard, had no interest in looking at the stars in the night sky. As she lay there, she was afraid of the coming of dawn because of the rumors and gossip, and she felt a little regretful.
Miao Feng couldn't sleep.
Now that she's divorced, what kind of man can she find?
Although there are many single men in the group, they can easily find out that she had a miscarriage and was beaten by Tang Xuewen. What will others think of her?
Tang Xuewen was also having trouble sleeping.
The coolness of the ground spread through his body via the straw mat, and a fire burned in his heart, fueled by the fear that his reputation would be ruined and he would never find a wife again.
The two tossed and turned, neither of them able to fall asleep.
A cool night breeze was blowing, and Tang Xuewen, whose doors and windows were not closed, felt not only cold on his body but also in his heart.
Unwilling to become the laughingstock of the entire group and never be able to get married again, Tang Xuewen jumped up and went out the door.
He arrived at the courtyard wall where Miao Feng was lying and pushed open the simple wooden door that offered no protection.
Miao Feng had already woken up after hearing the noise and cautiously hid in the corner.
Unfortunately, the courtyard was bare, and with the Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, the moonlight tonight was exceptionally beautiful.
Tang Xuewen spotted where she was hiding at a glance.
Under Miao Feng's vigilance, Tang Xuewen drew ever closer.
Miao Feng was filled with fear, afraid that Tang Xuewen had come to kill her. Just as she was about to cry out, Tang Xuewen knelt down two meters away from her.
Miao Feng's mind went completely blank.
"I was wrong. I promise I'll never lay a finger on you again. We've been together for almost two years. Are you really going to abandon me?"
Undeniably, Tang Xuewen's kneeling gave Miao Feng a sense of pleasure.
"Get out of here right now! You've already lost your child, and you still keep saying I'm with this man and that man, and you call me a slut all the time. If I stay with you, where will I put my face? What's the difference between your words and farts? You said last time that you wouldn't hit me again, but you still hit me again and again, didn't you?"
Tang Xuewen began to slap himself hard.
“I really know I was wrong. I’m also heartbroken about losing the child, but we can still have another one. This whole mess has made me lose all face. If I ever hit someone again, I’m not human. Think about it, the next person you find might not be as good as me. I’m afraid you won’t want to stay with me anymore. I will definitely treat you well in the future, but others might not.”
"Divorced women are worthless. Who knows what kind of life you'll lead in the future? If another man hits you again, will people still say it's the man's problem? People will say it's you who has the problem."
“Miao Feng, my heart isn’t as ruthless as yours. You can abandon me and leave just like that, but I can’t. I’ve decided on you for the rest of my life, Miao Feng! We’ve been married for so long. Although I’ve hit you before, ask yourself honestly, when there’s something good to eat at home, don’t I always make sure you get to eat it first? Every time we fight, isn’t it always me who apologizes first?”
"Miao Feng, I really can't live without you. If I didn't have you, I wouldn't be able to live."
