Liu Xiangmei is no longer the good and obedient wife.
She turned a deaf ear to Aunt Chen's accusations.
At this time, the millet porridge sent by Yang Rui was of great use.
Liu Xiangmei poured the millet porridge into a small bowl and fed it to Daya one by one with a small spoon.
Da Ya listened to the voices outside the room, fear written on her little face.
"Grandma...grandma..."
"Da Ya, grandma is not important. You are my mother's daughter, that is the most important thing."
Liu Xiangmei wished she could cover Da Ya's ears directly to prevent such a young child from hearing the harsh words.
During this period.
Chen Wenbin has been standing by the door of the room.
Inside is the sad and sick wife and daughter, and outside is the nagging mother.
He said calmly to Aunt Chen.
"Mom, both eldest and second ya are sick. Xiangmei has to take care of the children and has no time to make dinner."
"You don't have to cook dinner when you have children? When I brought you and your brother, I not only had to cook, but also had to work in the fields! Did I miss one meal less than you? I worked hard to take care of you when you grew up, and now one If you have a daughter-in-law, you no longer have eyes for me as an old lady."
Aunt Chen looked like she was about to cry as she spoke.
Over the years, Aunt Chen would always make trouble whenever Chen Wenbin showed any disobedience.
As long as she cries for father and mother, Chen Wenbin will always soften his heart.
But today...
However, Chen Wenbin stood there with a cold face and said nothing to Aunt Chen.
Myolie Chen felt something strange in the atmosphere.
She quickly stepped forward to lighten the mood.
"Mom, sister-in-law takes care of the children, so let her be busy while I cook. I'll cook tonight. Brother, stop standing around and have a rest. I'll call you when the meal is ready."
This way.
The dinner matter has been settled.
But the low pressure surrounding the Chen family has never disappeared.
Liu Xiangmei didn't take a bite of her dinner, but guarded Da Ya Er Ya every step of the way.
According to Dr. Pei's instructions, he was given medicine and his temperature was taken.
Erya also woke up once in the middle. As soon as he saw her, he cried in a hoarse voice.
She cried so much that Liu Xiangmei also shed tears.
Chen Wenbin brought some hot buns and some food into the house.
As soon as he opened the door, he saw Liu Xiangmei lowering her head and wiping tears.
"Xiangmei..."
"Old Chen, let's talk."
As soon as Chen Wenbin opened his mouth, Liu Xiangmei took the lead.
Compared with 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 sleeves, sniffed, and spoke seriously.
"Old Chen, you have seen what happened today. It doesn't matter how much hardship we endure, but Da Ya Er Ya can't. I used to think that the hard days will be over after a while, but I found that these days , you can’t survive it.”
Hear this.
Chen Wenbin's eyelids twitched suddenly.
An ominous premonition flashed across his heart.
Immediately afterwards.
He heard Liu Xiangmei say.
"Old Chen, I really can't live this life anymore, let's break up."
Liu Xiangmei definitely didn't say it out of anger.
She looked serious and calm, a little cold and distant.
After so many years of marriage, when had Chen Wenbin ever seen Liu Xiangmei like this?
Liu Xiangmei has always been a fiery person, with all her emotions written on her face.
Although she has many minor flaws, she has one great advantage: she is big-hearted and doesn't remember things.
So even when I talked to Jiang Ning, my words were not nice.
She was still cheerful the next day, and then greeted Jiang Ning like a normal person.
Such a big-hearted person was pushed to the extreme today.
She couldn't bear it anymore.
Liu Xiangmei continued.
"Old Chen, you are a soldier, and I am not qualified to file for divorce. If you agree, you will write a report and apply for divorce to the organization. If you don't want to, that's fine. We won't divorce, but we have been separated, and you can do it. Yes, I took my two children with me."
Regarding divorce, Jiang Ning gave Liu Xiangmei the idea.
Liu Xiangmei had never thought about it.
But Jiang Ning also said, "put yourself to death and live later."
If you don't give up something, how can you get more.
But even with Jiang Ning's reminder, the person who really made this determination was still Liu Xiangmei herself.
When Chen Wenbin heard the word "divorce".
Both his body and his eyes have undergone incredible changes.
The relationship between him and Liu Xiangmei was not a simple blind date and marriage, but started from a free love in their teenage years.
Then came the relationship between husband and wife for so many years.
When we got married, we promised that we would live together forever and grow old together.
From being just a little soldier, to a small squad leader, to a platoon leader and company commander...
The couple got through it step by step.
The hardest days have passed, why are we separated now?
Chen Wenbin slowly reached out and took Liu Xiangmei's hand beside him.
Liu Xiangmei trembled and wanted to retract her hand.
But Chen Wenbin held it tightly.
He called softly.
"Xiangmei, I will not agree to divorce."
Liu Xiangmei had already thought of this ending.
She not only thought about divorce, but also thought about the future.
"Then let's live separately. There is a canteen in your military camp, 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 got married to you, I knew about your family's situation. Your family was poor, and you and your brother were only one year apart, so the whole family supported you in studying and raised money to send you to the army. From that time on, I feel I owe my family, I feel sorry for your mother, and I feel sorry for your brother."
"So for all these years, I have never said a word to you when you sent money home. I always feel that as long as we work hard, life will always get better."
"But today, I have really given up. I have given up... Do you know how long it has been since our family bought meat? Do you know how long it has been since Da Ya and Er Ya wore new clothes? Life should not be like this Such...Old Chen, shouldn't be..."
Liu Xiangmei used strength to pull her hand out of Chen Wenbin's palm.
She turned away, her shoulders twitching.
No sound was made, but he was obviously 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 Xinger were crowded together, lying on the door panel.
Both of them tried hard to prick up their ears, trying to hear clearly what was going on inside the door.
"Mom, did you hear that?"
"Myolie, my ears are not good. You are young. Please listen more and see what your sister-in-law said to your elder brother."
Myolie Chen listened hard to the sound, vaguely...
"Mom, I seem to have heard something about divorce but not divorce..."
