Chapter 240 Reaping the Bitter Fruit



Watching his bicycle ride out of the military compound, He Chaoyang turned around, grabbed the phone on the table, and dialed a number. After the call was answered, He Chaoyang said concisely, "This is He Chaoyang. The woman that Chief Fang is taking with him later, even if she's not a spy, charge her with harassing a married male comrade, attempting to disrupt a military marriage, and hooliganism. Let her stay in jail for a few years to sober up and let her know that she can't afford to mess with just anyone."

He Chaoyang had actually wanted to teach Shen Hongmei a lesson for a long time. Anyone who dared to make his wife uncomfortable should be prepared to bear the consequences.

And that guy named Yang Wanqiu, I heard he was serving in the army in Guangzhou. We should investigate him properly when we have time. I heard he used someone else's identity to join the army.

I used to think that since my wife was also living in that educated youth settlement, if something happened to someone she didn't get along with, it would probably have a bad impact on her.

That's why He Chaoyang had been holding back all this time. Now that his wife has returned to the city, he has no more scruples.

While He Chaoyang was plotting revenge for Chen Shuning, Chen Shuning in Beijing was completely unaware of the situation.

She spent the Spring Festival at Grandma He's house. The He family was large and very lively. Everyone treated Chen Shuning very well, so Chen Shuning had a very pleasant time during this period.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Chen Shuning, who missed her parents, discussed with Grandma He about going home to stay for a few days.

Although Grandma He was reluctant to let her granddaughter-in-law go back to her parents' home, she couldn't very well refuse. So she packed a lot of nutritional supplements and sent them back to the Chen family along with Chen Shuning.

Ever since Chen Shuning's wedding was not very pleasant, the fourth uncle's family has stopped speaking to each other. Although Chen Shuting also returned to the city after getting married the following year.

The person was introduced by Chen Shuting's maternal grandmother. When they introduced them, they made all sorts of impressive claims, saying that her family was very capable and that she herself was also capable.

In addition, he was indeed a handsome man. Chen Shuning only took one look at him during a visit to his relatives, and the marriage between the two was settled.

But after getting married, she discovered that he was an unreliable person who had a job as a clerk in a steel factory thanks to his family connections.

But this person was naturally unreliable. Not long after getting married, she started having affairs with other women and was caught red-handed by the other woman's husband, which led to a police station incident.

It's important to know that adultery was still a crime in those days, and he was sentenced to two years in prison and lost his job.

When the incident first happened, Chen Shuting also considered divorce, but her mother-in-law was good at coaxing people. She gave her money and gifts and managed to appease her.

In addition, Chen Shuting discovered that she was more than two months pregnant at that time, so she gave up the idea of ​​divorce.

She received money and goods from her mother-in-law every month, and lived a carefree life during the two years her husband was imprisoned.

But her good days only lasted for two years. After her husband was released, her mother-in-law gradually stopped providing her with financial support.

Now that the man is out, he's a ruthless scoundrel who's been to prison. He beats her to death at the slightest disagreement, and he attacks her whenever she mentions divorce. He even threatens Chen Shuting that if she dares to divorce him, he'll kill her whole family.

Terrified, Chen Shuting never dared to mention divorce again. Although unwilling, the two of them continued to live their lives in this lukewarm manner.

But given Chen Shuting's character, she couldn't stand seeing others doing well, especially Chen Shuning, with whom she had never gotten along since childhood.

Originally, Chen Shuning had not returned to Beijing. Chen Shuting was thinking to herself, what's the point of marrying into that kind of family? Isn't it just for the sake of a good reputation that they are forced to suffer in Heilongjiang Province?

After all, given her knowledge and experience, wouldn't she know that the couple simply didn't want to return to Beijing, a place of trouble, when the world was in chaos, and that they were actually seeking peace and quiet in Heilongjiang Province?

Now Chen Shuning has not only returned, but I've also heard that he moved into Longquan Mountain as soon as he got back.

You know, those are all important people who have made significant contributions to the country. So what makes Chen Shuning think she can get away with this? She's just pregnant. Does she think everyone has never been pregnant before?

The more Chen Shuting thought about it, the more unbalanced she became, and her temper became increasingly volatile. She didn't dare to get angry at Li Li, so she vented her anger on her daughter.

Thinking back to the fact that her mother-in-law would not have stopped supporting her if she hadn't given birth to a girl, Chen Shuting has disliked her daughter ever since she was born.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, because she didn't want to see her mother-in-law's displeasure, Chen Shuting discussed with Li Li early in the morning that she wanted to go back to her parents' home to celebrate the fifteenth.

Li Li has been getting along very well with the young widow who recently moved in next door to his mother's house. Now that he heard that Chen Shuting didn't want to go back to his mother's house, he was happy that no one would interfere. So he readily agreed, even suggesting that she stay at her parents' house for a few more days, so that he could go back to his mother's house and spend more time with the old lady.

Li Li was the youngest son in the family and was always the most favored by his mother. He said he wanted to spend more time with the old lady, so Chen Shuting didn't think much of it and happily took her daughter back to her parents' home.

But to my surprise, my eyes turned red as soon as I reached the alley entrance.

Just then, Chen Shuning's car arrived at the alley entrance, and the driver, dressed in military uniform, was carrying large and small bags of things into the yard.

Looking at herself, she realized she had returned empty-handed with only a child. Remembering her sister-in-law's sarcastic remarks when she returned to her parents' home empty-handed last time, and her mother's increasingly indifferent attitude, Chen Shuting felt a surge of anger.

Thinking that Chen Shuning must have done it on purpose, you know that ever since the Second Uncle's family bought all the houses in the three courtyards, the whole family has basically been using the back alley's side gate.

But now Chen Shuning insists on going through the main entrance. What else could it be but showing off the things she brought back?
