Chapter 215: Military Marriage Can’t Be Divorced, Then… (2)
As soon as I heard the word "divorce".
Aunt Chen's reaction was even more intense than Chen Wenbin's at that time.
She straightened up immediately and cursed under her breath.
"Divorce! Haha, Liu Xiangmei is really outrageous. She doesn't even look at my son's status. Can she divorce him just because she wants to? My son is a soldier! If she wants a divorce, it depends on whether my son is willing or not."
"Mom, what if Big Brother agrees and Sister-in-law really divorces Big Brother? What should we do?"
"Just get a divorce. Anyway, she only gave birth to two girls. You can take them away if you want. They are not grandchildren, nor are they descendants of our Chen family. Your eldest brother just needs a son. Tomorrow morning, come with me and persuade your eldest brother to quickly adopt one of your second brother's sons."
"Okay, Mom, I'll remember that."
Aunt Chen and Chen Xing'er talked loudly without any scruples.
Little did they know.
Small house.
Thin door panels.
What kind of sound insulation is there?
Everything could be heard clearly inside and outside the house.
After hearing these words, Liu Xiangmei was too lazy to say anything and was even too tired to have any emotional reaction.
Chen Wenbin sat aside, listening to the words outside the house, and truly felt what Liu Xiangmei had endured.
He felt in his uniform pocket and felt a hard cigarette box.
But when he thought of Daya and Erya who were still sick, he stopped immediately.
…
The second day.
Chen family dining table.
Chen Xing'er is a lazy person who loves to eat and loves nothing. She simply won't get up early in the morning to cook.
Liu Xiangmei took care of the children the whole night. After dawn, she made sure that Da Ya and Er Ya did not have a recurring high fever, and then she reluctantly closed her eyes and fell asleep for a while.
Aunt Chen banged on the bowl and chopsticks and was about to curse, but was held down by Chen Wenbin.
The three of them sat at the dining table, but there was not even a steamed bun on the table.
Chen Wenbin's face was solemn and his mood was gloomy.
Aunt Chen and Chen Xing'er looked at each other in surprise.
Just when I was struggling to decide what to say.
Chen Wenbin suddenly spoke and said something earth-shattering.
"Xiangmei and I have decided to divorce."
Last night, Aunt Chen, who had insisted that Chen Wenbin would not divorce, was suddenly dumbfounded.
But Aunt Chen's mood also changed quickly.
"This is a matter between you and your wife. Since you have made up your mind, you can get a divorce. You are the battalion commander, are you still worried about not being able to find a wife? You might as well give up Daya and Erya, and find a wife to have a son later. A man must have a son."
Aunt Chen was still talking self-righteously.
Chen Wenbin continued.
"I will not remarry, nor will I have any more children. Daya and Erya will be my only two daughters."
Speaking of this.
Aunt Chen just looked surprised.
But what Chen Wenbin said next made Aunt Chen panic.
"After the divorce, half of my salary, allowances and bonuses will be given to the three of them. I will give some of the remaining half to you as a filial piety."
"Half?! Why should she take half?!"
When the topic of money came up, Aunt Chen could no longer sit still and she slammed the table and stood up.
Chen Wenbin said without changing his expression.
"This is military rule. If you divorce, you must give your wife half of the alimony. If you don't do this, you can't even be a soldier!"
When Aunt Chen heard this, she was immediately stunned.
She never knew there was such a rule in the army...
I had some doubts in my heart, but seeing how confident Chen Wenbin was, I didn't dare to refute him face to face.
besides.
Chen Wenbin said finally.
"Mom, the money I gave you before was all remitted to my second brother. Now that you are here, I will give it to you directly."
Aunt Chen nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, just give it to me!"
When the money fell into Aunt Chen's hands, she smiled happily.
I never expected that there would be such earth-shaking changes in the days that followed.
…
A week later.
In Jiang Ning's small kitchen, a figure was busy going back and forth, cooking with a spatula.
This person is not Jiang Ning, but Liu Xiangmei.
Liu Xiangmei was busy cooking, while Jiang Ning was in the front room with Daya and Erya.
Jiang Ning was holding an embroidery frame in her hand and doing some delicate needlework.
After a week of rest, Daya and Erya have recovered from their cold and fever.
In their little hands, they also held needles and thread, as well as some scraps of cloth.
They made small sandbags using the method Jiang Ning taught them.
Although they are young, they do it very well.
A few more minutes passed.
"Sister Ning, Da Ya and Er Ya, it's time to eat."
Liu Xiangmei's voice came from the kitchen, and the hot meal was served on the table.
Jiang Ning put down his needle and thread, took Da Ya and Er Ya to wash their hands, and then went into the kitchen to eat.
Liu Xiangmei looked at Jiang Ning with gratitude.
"Sister Ning, I'm so sorry. These days... the three of us, mother and daughter, have been eating at your house."
Liu Xiangmei, who usually loved to take advantage of others and had no sense of shame at all, seemed like a different person, feeling embarrassed and ashamed.
Because ever since she and Chen Wenbin proposed that they had "broken up".
During this week, the three of them, mother and daughter, have been relying on Jiang Ning to feed them.
This was to thoroughly confirm what she had said earlier.
Of course, this was also Jiang Ning's idea.
If you have to break up, do it cleanly.
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.
"Sister Xiangmei, why are you saying that again? You gave me food coupons and oil coupons, but you didn't eat my food for free. And you cooked for me, so I should be the one saying thank you."
"Your belly is so big now, it's only right that I take better care of you."
"We should take care of each other. It is said that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. Sister Xiangmei, let's eat."
"Okay, let's eat."
"Mom, aunt, eat!"
While I was eating, my sister-in-law came into the room and came to visit.
"Hey, you guys are eating."
This sister-in-law was very outgoing. After entering the room, she pulled a chair and sat next to Jiang Ning, smiling happily. ◇
She moved closer and spoke cheerfully to Jiang Ning.
"Sister Ning, you're right! Aunt Chen asked me about this today."
Jiang Ning smiled lightly, "How did you answer?"
"What else can I say? Of course I have to give it half! And half is not enough. When Da Ya and Er Ya are older, they will have to pay for tuition, books, and nutrition."
My sister-in-law was very excited and spoke all this with great joy.
A week ago, Chen Wenbin said that when a soldier divorces in the army, his wife can take half of the money.
Aunt Chen was always skeptical, so she privately approached other sisters-in-law to get some information.
When the sisters-in-law heard about this, they felt something was wrong.
How can there be such a rule in the army?
How much money to give to the ex-wife after divorce depends on the man's conscience.
But the military wives all stand together with the military wives.
The sisters-in-law also knew about Liu Xiangmei's family situation, so they deliberately didn't say anything and turned to talk to Jiang Ning.
As soon as Jiang Ning heard it, he understood what was going on.
Taking half of the money was not a military rule, but a lie Chen Wenbin deliberately made up for Liu Xiangmei.
In that case...
It would be better to just go with the flow.
