As soon as I heard the word "divorce".
Aunt Chen's reaction was even more intense than that of Chen Wenbin.
She straightened up immediately and cursed under her breath.
"Divorce! Haha, Liu Xiangmei is going against the grain. She doesn't even look at my son's status. Can she get a divorce just by saying she wants a divorce? My son is a soldier! If she wants a divorce, she has to look at my son. Do you want to or not?”
"Mom, what if my eldest brother agrees and my sister-in-law divorces me?"
"Just leave her. Anyway, she only gave birth to two little girls. You can take them away if you want. They are not grandchildren, nor are they the incense of my Chen family. Your eldest brother just needs a son. Wait until tomorrow morning, you Come with me to persuade your eldest brother to adopt a son from your second brother as soon as possible."
"Okay, Mom, I remember."
Aunt Chen and Myolie Chen talked loudly without any scruples.
Little did I know.
A small house.
Thin door panels.
Where is the sound insulation effect?
Everything could be heard clearly inside and outside the house.
When Liu Xiangmei heard these words, she was too lazy to say anything, and she was even too tired to react emotionally.
Chen Wenbin sat aside and listened to the words outside the room, and then he truly felt what Liu Xiangmei had endured.
He touched the pocket of his military uniform and found a hard cigarette box.
But when he thought of Da Ya Er Ya who was still sick, he stopped instantly.
…
The second day.
The Chen family dining table.
Myolie Chen is a lazy person who doesn't know how to get up early in the morning to cook.
Liu Xiangmei spent the whole night taking care of the child. After dawn, she made sure that Ya and Erya did not have a recurring high fever, so she reluctantly closed her eyes and slept for a while.
Aunt Chen knocked on the bowl and chopsticks to curse, but was held down by Chen Wenbin.
The three of them were sitting at the dinner table, but there wasn't even a steamed bun on the table.
Chen Wenbin's face was solemn and his air pressure was low.
Aunt Chen and Chen Xing'er both looked at each other.
When I was wondering what to say.
Chen Wenbin suddenly spoke and said something earth-shattering.
"Xiangmei and I have decided to divorce."
Last night, Aunt Chen, who kept insisting that Chen Wenbin would not divorce, was immediately dumbfounded.
But Aunt Chen's mood also changed quickly.
"This is a matter between you and your husband. Now that you have decided, divorce is the way to go. You are the battalion commander, are you still afraid that you can't find a wife? Da Ya and Er Ya just don't want it anymore and can find a wife to have a son in the future. 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. Da Ya and Er Ya will be my only two daughters."
Speaking of which.
Aunt Chen just looked stunned.
But what Chen Wenbin said next made Aunt Chen panic.
"After the divorce, whether it is my salary or allowance and bonus, I will give half of it to the three of them, mother and daughter. I will give some of the remaining half to honor you."
"Half?! Why should she take half of it?!"
When money was mentioned, Mrs. Chen couldn't sit still at all. She slapped the table and stood up.
Chen Wenbin said without changing his expression.
"This is a military rule. If you get divorced, you must share half of the alimony with your wife. If you don't follow this, even soldiers can't do it!"
When Aunt Chen heard this, she was immediately stunned.
She never knew there was such a rule in the army...
I had doubts in my heart, but seeing what Chen Wenbin said was so conclusive, I didn't dare to refute him face to face.
besides.
Chen Wenbin said finally.
"Mom, the money I gave you before was all sent 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 came into Aunt Chen's hands, she smiled so happily.
I never expected that earth-shaking changes would occur in the days to come.
…
A week later.
In Jiang Ning's house, in the small kitchen, a figure was busy going back and forth, cooking with a shovel.
This person is not Jiang Ning, but Liu Xiangmei.
Liu Xiangmei was busy cooking, while Jiang Ning was in the front room with Da Ya Er Ya.
Jiang Ning held an embroidery bag in his hand and was doing some detailed needlework.
After a week of rest, Da Ya Er Ya has recovered from her cold and fever.
In their little hands, they also held needlework and some scattered rags.
Using the method Jiang Ning taught them, they made small sandbags.
Although they are young, they are doing well.
A few more minutes passed.
"Sister Ning, Da Ya Er Ya, it's time to eat."
Liu Xiangmei's shout came from the kitchen, and hot meals were served.
Jiang Ning put down her needlework, washed her hands with Da Ya Er Ya, and then walked into the kitchen to eat.
Liu Xiangmei looked at Jiang Ning gratefully.
"Sister Ning, I'm so sorry. These days... we, mother and daughter, all eat from your house."
Liu Xiangmei, who usually loves to take advantage and has no sense of shame at all, seems to be a different person, embarrassed and ashamed.
Because since she and Chen Wenbin proposed to "separate".
For the past week, the three of them, mother and daughter, have been relying on Jiang Ning's feeding.
This was to completely confirm what she had said earlier.
Of course, this was also Jiang Ning's idea.
Since you want to break it, break it cleanly.
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head.
"Sister Xiangmei, why are you saying this again? You gave me food stamps and oil stamps, but you didn't give me the food stamps for free. And you cooked for me, so I should be the one saying thank you."
"You have such a big belly now, I should take more 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 house and came to visit.
"Hey, you guys are eating."
This sister-in-law was an acquaintance. After entering, she pulled up a chair and sat next to Jiang Ning, smiling so happily.
She came closer and said to Jiang Ning happily.
"Sister Ning, you are right! Aunt Chen asked me today."
Jiang Ning smiled slightly, "How did you answer?"
"How else can I answer? Of course it means half! And half is not enough. When the elder Ya and the second Ya get older, they will have to pay for tuition, books, nutrition, etc."
My sister-in-law was very emotional and talking about all this with great joy.
Since a week ago, Chen Wenbin said that if the army divorces, the military wife can get half of the money.
Aunt Chen was always dubious, so she talked to other sisters-in-law in private.
When the sisters-in-law heard about this, they felt something was wrong.
Is there such a rule in the army?
How much money to give to your ex-wife after divorce depends on the man's conscience.
But military wives always stand with military wives.
The sisters-in-law also knew about the situation of Liu Xiangmei's family, so they deliberately didn't talk to each other and turned to talk to Jiang Ning.
When Jiang Ning heard this, he understood what was going on.
Taking half of the money was not a military rule, but a lie deliberately concocted by Chen Wenbin for Liu Xiangmei.
In this case...
It's better to push the boat along.
