Lin Yuexi rode a bicycle and took her two children, Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun, to the town.
The child's face was flushed red by the cold wind, but the excitement and anticipation in his eyes could not be concealed.
As soon as they arrived in town, Lin Yuexi first bought some snacks and gadgets for the children. Seeing them dancing with joy, her mood also became a lot more relaxed.
While no one was paying attention, she quietly took out a few items that were in line with the style of the current era from the space and carefully put them into the backpack of the bicycle.
She didn't dare take more, after all, the space in the backpack was limited and she had to leave some space for the child.
"Mom, when will Dad come back?" Lu Ziyan raised his little face, his eyes full of longing.
"It's almost time, baby, your dad will be back soon..." Lin Yuexi comforted softly, but she felt mixed emotions in her heart.
Lu Ziyan and Lu Xiyun were very happy to hear Lin Yuexi say this, because as long as their father came back, their grandmother and uncle would not dare to bully their mother anymore, and they would no longer be scolded as fatherless children.
Lin Yuexi looked at the children's happy smiling faces, and the annoyance in her heart dissipated a lot.
After shopping, Lin Yuexi took her two children for a stroll around the town. They seemed to be selecting goods, but in fact they were just pretending.
She doesn't need too many material things. With the reserves in the space, she has more than enough for life.
After returning home, Lin Yuexi got busy cleaning the house, preparing New Year's goods, and tidying up the house.
Although she had never met Lu Cheng and the original owner's previous marriage life was not satisfactory, in her heart, since Lu Cheng was the original owner's husband and the father of two children, he had to have a lively atmosphere when he came back to celebrate the New Year.
Over in the old house, Liu Cuihua and Li Xiuying gathered together, chattering about how to discredit Lin Yuexi in front of Lu Cheng when he came back.
There was calculation and greed in their eyes every moment, and they were eager to see Lu Cheng go home and kick Lin Yuexi out.
As the days passed and the New Year drew closer, many people in the village were waiting to see the fun, waiting for Lu Cheng to come back and laugh at Lin Yuexi's tricks.
However, Lin Yuexi acted as if she had heard nothing. She continued to live her life leisurely, managing the household affairs in an orderly manner, and insisted on selling her Chinese herbal medicines.
On this day, Lin Yuexi had just returned home from selling Chinese medicinal herbs in the county. Before she had time to catch her breath, Captain Li came hurriedly to her.
Lin Yuexi's heart trembled. She knew that Li Wenyan was a steady person and would not come to her house easily without any reason. This time he must have come for something important.
"Yuexi! I have some bad news to tell you, you have to hold on." Li Wenyan's face was solemn.
"Uncle Li, just tell me straight, is it about Lu Cheng?" Lin Yuexi's heartbeat suddenly quickened, and an ominous premonition came to her mind.
"Yes! Yuexi, I'm afraid you won't be able to come back to Lucheng for the New Year..." Li Wenyan sighed, with regret in his eyes.
When Lin Yuexi heard the news, she was shocked and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
At the beginning, Lu Cheng vowed to come back for the New Year, but now he suddenly can't come back. Did something happen while he was on the mission?
If something unexpected really happened to him, wouldn't I no longer have to worry about this marriage?
In this way, after the New Year, I can move to the county with my children and start a new life.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuexi felt an irrepressible ecstasy in her heart, but she knew that she couldn't show it at the moment, so she suppressed her emotions and said calmly, "Uncle Li, please continue."
"Lu Cheng is such a miserable kid! He was about to be promoted to the rank of regimental commander, but who would have thought that he would be ambushed by the enemy during this mission and was seriously injured. Now he is in a coma and paralyzed.
I heard that even if he is cured, he may become a vegetable in the future…” Li Wenyan said while shaking his head and sighing, his face full of grief and anguish.
When Lin Yuexi heard these words, she almost lost her grip on the teacup in her hand, and secretly complained in her heart: "What bad luck I have! The original owner's fate was too tragic. Fortunately, it's my turn now. Otherwise, even if the original owner didn't starve to death, he would have been exhausted to death by this hard life."
Although she had a lot of thoughts in her mind, she still tried to keep herself calm and asked, "Uncle Li, how do the troops plan to deal with this matter?"
"Yuexi, the army wants the Lu family to send someone to take care of Lu Cheng first. I have already told your mother-in-law about this. After all, she is Lu Cheng's biological mother."
Li Wenyan looked at Lin Yuexi with a hint of expectation in his eyes, as if waiting for her to express her opinion.
"Then what did my mother-in-law say?" Lin Yuexi had actually guessed something in her heart, but she still wanted to confirm it.
"When your mother-in-law heard that Lu Cheng might be paralyzed for life, she quit on the spot and asked me to come find you..."
There was a hint of dissatisfaction and helplessness in Li Wenyan's tone.
Lin Yuexi cursed secretly in her heart: "Is this damn old woman Lu Cheng's biological mother? How can she be so heartless! I didn't see her show any mercy when she asked for money, and now her son is paralyzed, she just ignores him.
Lu Cheng, Lu Cheng, you are so pitiful to have such a mother. "
But on the surface, she just frowned slightly and asked, "My mother-in-law seems to be dumping Lu Cheng to me!..."
"That's right, Yuexi, I know Lu Cheng hasn't been home for five years. He really didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a husband and caused you to suffer a lot in the Lu family.
But he is a soldier, a soldier defending his country.
He is also a hero in the eyes of the people. I hope you will take care of him and fulfill your responsibilities as a soldier's wife."
Li Wenyan spoke earnestly, he was really afraid that Lin Yuexi would just ignore him, then Lu Cheng would be so miserable!
"Uncle Li, I know everything you said. You can ask me to take care of Lu Cheng, but I have a request..." Lin Yuexi said.
"You said, as long as you can take care of Lu Cheng, as long as I can do it, you can make any request..." Li Wenyan said happily when he saw Lin Yuexi agreed.
"Okay, then I'll tell you. Uncle Li, you also know that I have been married to Lu Cheng for five years. What kind of life have I lived in these five years?
In the final analysis, Lu Cheng and I have been a couple in name only for these years. Of course, I don’t blame him. It’s all my parents’ fault.”
"Yuexi, I know, you said..."
"Uncle Li, I don't have any other requests. I just want you to be my witness so that Lu Cheng can sever all ties with Lu Zhendong and Liu Cuihua..."
"Yuexi...you are..."
"Uncle Li, this is my only request. If my mother-in-law doesn't agree, then let them take care of Lu Cheng, and I will take care of the two children..." Lin Yuexi said firmly.
