Chapter 214 Military marriage cannot be divorced, then... (1)
Liu Xiangmei is no longer the good daughter-in-law who obeys everyone's orders.
She turned a deaf ear to Aunt Chen's accusations.
At this time, the millet porridge brought by Yang Rui was of great use.
Liu Xiangmei poured the millet porridge into a small bowl and fed it to Daya one spoonful at a time with a small spoon.
Daya listened to the voices outside the room, and fear was written all over her little face.
“Grandma… Grandma…”
"Daya, grandma is not important. You are mom's daughter, that's the most important."
Liu Xiangmei wished she could cover Daya's ears to prevent such a young child from hearing such harsh words.
During this period.
Chen Wenbin has been standing by the door of the room.
Inside are the sad and sick wife and daughter, and outside is the nagging mother.
He said to Aunt Chen with a sullen face.
"Mom, Da Ya and Er Ya are both sick, and Xiang Mei has to take care of the children, so she doesn't have time to cook dinner."
"So I don't have to cook dinner when I'm taking care of kids? When I was taking care of you and your brother, I not only had to cook, but I also had to work in the fields! Have I ever missed a meal for you? I worked so hard to take care of you and you all grew up, but now that you all have wives, you don't even care about me anymore."
As Aunt Chen spoke, she looked like she was about to cry.
Over the years, whenever Chen Wenbin showed any disobedience, Aunt Chen would make a fuss like this.
Whenever she cried for her parents, Chen Wenbin would always feel soft-hearted.
But today…
However, Chen Wenbin just stood there with a sullen face and didn't say a word to Aunt Chen.
Chen Xing'er sensed something strange in the atmosphere.
She stepped forward hastily to ease the atmosphere.
"Mom, let my sister-in-law take care of the children. Let her be busy. I'll cook tonight. Brother, don't stand there. Take a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
In this way.
The dinner issue was resolved.
But the low pressure hanging over the Chen family never disappeared.
Liu Xiangmei didn't eat a single bite of dinner, but stayed by Daya and Erya's side all the time.
According to Doctor Pei's instructions, he gave the patient medicine and took his temperature.
In the middle, Erya woke up once, and when she saw her, she started crying in a hoarse voice.
Liu Xiangmei cried so hard that she also started to cry.
Chen Wenbin brought a few hot steamed buns and some food into the house.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Liu Xiangmei with her head down wiping her tears.
"Xiangmei..."
"Old Chen, let's talk."
As soon as Chen Wenbin opened his mouth, Liu Xiangmei took the lead.
Compared to the hesitation in the man's tone, there was a hint of sober determination in Liu Xiangmei's red eyes.
She seemed to have decided something in her mind.
The couple sat on the edge of the bed, facing each other.
Liu Xiangmei wiped her eyes with her sleeve, sniffed, and spoke seriously.
"Old Chen, you saw what happened today. You and I are fine with enduring hardships, but Daya and Erya can't. I used to think that hard times would pass if we just endured them, but I found out that these days are not going to pass."
Hear this.
Chen Wenbin's eyelids twitched violently.
An ominous feeling flashed across my heart.
Immediately following.
He heard Liu Xiangmei say.
"Old Chen, we can't live like this anymore, let's split up."
Liu Xiangmei's words were definitely not said in anger.
She looked serious and calm, yet a little cold and distant.
After so many years of marriage, Chen Wenbin has never seen Liu Xiangmei like this.
Liu Xiangmei has always been an impetuous person, with all her emotions written on her face.
Although she has many small flaws, she has one huge advantage, which is that she is open-minded and doesn't remember things.
So even when talking to Jiang Ning, sometimes the words he said were not pleasant to the ear.
She was still cheerful the next day and greeted Jiang Ning as if nothing had happened.
Such a carefree person was pushed to the extreme today.
She couldn't bear it any longer.
Liu Xiangmei continued.
"Lao Chen, you are a soldier, I am not qualified to file for divorce. If you agree, you can write a report and apply for divorce from the organization. If you don't want to, that's fine too, we won't divorce, but we will live separately, you live your life, and I will live with our two children."
It was Jiang Ning who gave Liu Xiangmei the idea of divorce.
Liu Xiangmei had never thought about it before.
But Jiang Ning also said, "Only when you are in danger can you survive."
How can you get more if you don't give up something?
However, even with Jiang Ning's reminder, the person who made the final decision was still Liu Xiangmei herself.
Chen Wenbin heard the word "divorce"
When those two words.
Both the body and the eyes have undergone incredible changes.
His marriage with Liu Xiangmei was not a simple blind date, but started from free love in their teenage years.
Then came the relationship between husband and wife for so many years.
When you get married, you promise to be together for life and grow old together.
He was just a small soldier, then a squad leader, then a platoon leader and company commander...
The couple got through it step by step.
The most difficult days have passed, why are we going to separate now?
Chen Wenbin slowly reached out and held Liu Xiangmei's hand which was beside him.
Liu Xiangmei trembled and tried to pull her hand back.
But Chen Wenbin held it tightly.
He called softly.
"Xiangmei, I won't agree to a divorce."
Liu Xiangmei had already thought of this ending.
She not only thought about divorce, but also thought about her future life.
"Then let's live separately. There is a cafeteria in your barracks, which can provide you with three meals a day. There is also a camp bed in your office, so you can sleep there at night."
"When I married you, I knew your family's situation. Your family was poor, and you and your brother were only one year apart in age. Your whole family supported you to go to school, and also raised money to send you to the army. From that time on, you felt that you owed your family, and felt sorry for your mother and your brother."
"So over the years, you sent money home, and I never said a word. I always felt that if we put ourselves in your shoes, as long as we work hard, things will get better."
"But today, I have really given up, given up... Do you know how long it has been since we bought meat at home? Do you know how long it has been since Daya and Erya have worn new clothes? Life shouldn't be like this... Lao Chen, it shouldn't be like this..."
Liu Xiangmei exerted force and pulled her hand out of Chen Wenbin's palm.
She turned her back, her shoulders twitching.
No sound was made, but it was obvious that he was crying.
Even if she was crying, she didn't want to do it in front of Chen Wenbin.
…
Outside the room.
Aunt Chen and Chen Xing'er huddled together and lay on the door panel.
Both of them pricked up their ears, trying to hear clearly what was happening inside the door.
"Mom, did you hear that?"
"Xing'er, my hearing is not good. You are young, so listen carefully and see what your sister-in-law said to your eldest brother."
Chen Xing'er listened carefully to the sound, vaguely...
"Mom, I seemed to hear something about divorce or not..."
