When Luo Shicheng and Hua Li returned from the farm, they were stopped by Aunt Shi, who was waiting outside the gate.
"Something terrible has happened..." Aunt Shi looked like the sky had fallen.
"What's wrong?" Hua Li asked.
“Your Uncle Xu isn’t interested in Old Madam Leng at all. He only went to Old Madam Leng to get information. He, he likes Commander Zhuang’s wife, Pang Wanqing. She’s in the house right now.”
Aunt Shi almost burst into tears.
"What kind of family are we? We're eyeing the commander's wife. What are we going to do?"
Luo Shicheng and Hua Li looked at each other in bewilderment, and Luo Shicheng took the lead and walked towards the living room.
Grandpa Xu has such high standards? Luo Yan was shocked and quickly followed Luo Shicheng into the room.
In the living room, Pang Wanqing sat on a single sofa, while Xu Tianzhong sat opposite her. The two looked at each other in silence, their serious expressions like prisoners waiting for a judge to pronounce their verdict.
Luo Shicheng walked in, called out "Uncle Xu," and looked up at Pang Wanqing.
Pang Wanqing was thin and refined. She stood up from the sofa and greeted Luo Shicheng politely.
"What exactly do you want?" Luo Shicheng asked frankly. "Based on the conditions I've set, I, Uncle Xu, won't even give you a second glance. Tell me your real purpose."
Luo Shicheng showed no mercy, but Pang Wanqing didn't mind and kindly invited Luo Shicheng to sit down and talk.
Hua Li then came in, and Luo Shicheng gestured for Hua Li to sit down.
Hua Li sat down next to Luo Shicheng, and Luo Yan climbed into Hua Li's arms to quietly eat melon seeds.
Pang Wanqing stated frankly, "I wanted to get a divorce as soon as Xiahou Rong was brought into Zhuang Nanxing's home, but the circumstances at that time did not allow it."
Because I insisted on working, Zhuang Nanxing disregarded my objections and left all the children in Xiahou Rong's care..."
At this point, Pang Wanqing gave a bitter smile, "You've been to my house, so you should have seen how my children react when they mention me."
I filed for divorce several times, offering to take nothing from the children and all the property, but Zhuang Nanxing disagreed.
I tried to find fault with him to force him to divorce, but I couldn't. He and Xiahou Rong never crossed the line.
This time, I finally got my chance. Zhang Xiaofeng was suspected of child trafficking but was released early. As the victims, if you are willing to stand on my side, I can use this as a condition to force him to divorce me.
Of course, offending the commander has serious consequences, but…
Pang Wanqing looked at Luo Shicheng and said, "I know you are not afraid of him. As long as you are willing to help me, I can not only avenge your wife and daughter, but also give you the information I have investigated."
"Information?" Luo Shicheng narrowed his eyes.
Pang Wanqing: "Yes, don't you want to know who told Xiang Yu that your grandfather intended for the Hua and Luo families to become related by marriage?"
And how did Zhang Yulin and Tian Chunhua manage to get together so coincidentally…”
Upon hearing this, Luo Shicheng jumped up from the sofa, his eyes fixed on Pang Wanqing.
"Where did you get this information from?" Luo Shicheng took a few quick steps, stood in front of Pang Wanqing, and looked down at her.
Pang Wanqing softly uttered two words, "Hua Zhang..."
Hua Li trembled upon hearing this, her eyes filled with shock and confusion as she looked at Pang Wanqing.
"Okay, I promise you."
Luo Shicheng agreed.
Pang Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed her face with her tired hands.
"As agreed, I will marry you, Uncle Xu, as soon as I divorce Zhuang Nanxing. I will not break my promise, so please rest assured."
Xu Tianzhong remained silent throughout, and returned to his room after seeing Pang Wanqing off.
The atmosphere in the living room was strange. Hua Li wanted to ask Luo Shicheng a few times, but she didn't know where to start.
Luo Shicheng closed his eyes in pain and said in a hoarse voice.
"I lost my memory for two years, and it wasn't until I saw that painting that I remembered it."
At that time, my older brother and I overheard Zhang Yulin and Tian Chunhua saying outside that they couldn't let me marry Hua Li, and that it would be best to eliminate me completely.
In my youthful rage, I rushed in and beat up Zhang Yulin. My older brother, seeing Zhang Yulin and Tian Chunhua, told me to go find my father and bring him back. When my father and I rushed home, my older brother was already…
After a long while, Luo Shicheng finally regained control of his disordered breathing and continued.
"I actually wanted to file for divorce after Xiang Yu's case was closed. If you don't want a divorce, I can stay. I will be transferred to the border, and you will still enjoy all the benefits of being a military family member."
Don't blame me, I really can't get over this hurdle in my heart, I can't face you.
Hua Li was unaware that the truth was so profound, because she had caused the death of an innocent person.
"Okay, I respect your choice. If you want a divorce, then go ahead, but Yan Yan must stay with me."
"Will you remarry?" Luo Shicheng asked with difficulty.
“No…” Hua Li couldn’t help but shed tears, “A person only has one heart. If love dies and becomes a grave, how can the living live in it?”
Luo Shicheng chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Then we won't get a divorce. You can take good care of Yan Yan from now on. My monthly salary will be yours, enough for you and the two of you to live on."
After saying that, Luo Shicheng walked out of the living room and headed straight for the front door.
Luo Yan, thankfully, ended up being a child from a single-parent family.
As soon as Luo Shicheng left, Hua Li covered her face and cried. Luo Yan stayed by Hua Li's side, and Xiao Xiu went to the bathroom to get a wet towel to wipe Hua Li's face.
Hua Li cried for a long time. When she looked up and saw Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu who were staying by her side, the pent-up frustration in her heart suddenly dissipated.
She has a lovely daughter, and a little Xiu who is more like a sister than her own. She once loved earnestly, and she has a clear conscience. She is a good person and deserves a better future. Although Luo Ankang's death was caused by her, the fault did not lie with her.
Seeing that Hua Li had stopped crying, Luo Yan took the study materials and put them in Hua Li's hands.
Enrich yourself; everything else is just passing scenery.
Hua Li felt relieved, smiled as she took the book, and snuggled up on the sofa with Luo Yan to read it.
Xiao Xiu couldn't understand the books for senior high school students, so he picked up a dictionary and looked up the pinyin to learn the characters.
Aunt Shi peeked out and saw that the two children, one adult and two children, were reading books without a care in the world. Her anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
If the sky falls, there are big guys to hold it up. Why does she have to worry about so many things? Aunt Shi went back to the kitchen, washed three apples, made three cups of milk powder, put them on a tray, and carried them to the living room.
The next day, the sun rose as usual, but Luo Shicheng was nowhere to be seen at the dining table.
After Hua Li finished eating, she kissed Luo Yan and took a short rest before hurriedly riding her bicycle to work.
After Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu finished their meal, they told Aunt Shi that they were going to play by the river and asked Aunt Shi to prepare some food for them.
Aunt Shi brought over a bamboo basket and put all the mung bean cakes that Tan Ziying had given her into it, along with four bottles of soda, four apples, two cans of meat, a pack of ham sausages, ten sesame seed cakes, two cucumbers, and four tomatoes.
They also carried a full water bottle for Luo Yan and Xiao Xiu.
Anyway, there's space, so just take whatever Aunt Shi gives you.
Xiao Xiu picked up a bamboo basket and went out with Luo Yan.
As Luo Yan walked, she reached into the bamboo basket and put the contents into her spatial storage. The two of them then walked easily towards the back door.
