Liu Xiangmei is no longer the good daughter-in-law who is obedient.

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 the big girl with a small spoon, spoonful by spoon.

The eldest girl listened to the sound of speech outside the room, and her little face was full of fear.

"Grandma...... Grandma ......"

"Big girl, grandma is not important. You are your mother's daughter, and that is the most important thing. ”

Liu Xiangmei couldn't wait to cover the ears of the eldest girl directly, so as not to let such a young child hear the harsh words.

During this period.

Chen Wenbin has been standing by the door of the room.

Inside are sad and sick wives and daughters, and outside are mothers who are chattering.

He said to Aunt Chen with a calm face.

"Mom, the eldest and second girls are sick, and Xiangmei has to take care of the children, so she doesn't have time to cook dinner."

"You don't have to cook dinner with kids? When I took you and your brother, I not only had to cook, but also work in the fields! Am I missing a meal from you? I worked hard to take care of you to grow up, and now that you have a daughter-in-law, there is no old lady like me in my eyes. ”

Aunt Chen said as she spoke, looking like she was about to cry.

Over the years, as long as Chen Wenbin is disobedient at all, Aunt Chen has been so troublesome.

As long as she cries and calls her mother, Chen Wenbin will always be soft-hearted.

But today......

Chen Wenbin kept standing in place with a cold face, silently saying a word to Aunt Chen.

Chen Xing'er felt the strangeness of the atmosphere.

She hurriedly stepped forward to ease the atmosphere.

"Mom, my sister-in-law takes care of the children, so let her be busy, and I'll cook. I'm going to cook tonight. Big brother, don't stand still, rest quickly, I'll call you when the meal is ready. ”

And so it goes.

The dinner matter is settled.

But the low pressure that shrouded the Chen family has not disappeared.

Liu Xiangmei didn't eat a bite of dinner, but guarded the eldest girl and the second girl inch by inch.

According to Dr. Pei's instructions, he was feeding medicine and taking his temperature.

The middle second girl also woke up once, and when she saw her, she cried in a hoarse voice.

Crying made Liu Xiangmei also keep shedding tears.

Chen Wenbin took a few hot steamed buns and some food into the house.

As soon as I pushed the door open, I saw Liu Xiangmei wiping her tears with her head down.

"Plum ......"

"Lao Chen, let's talk."

As soon as Chen Wenbin spoke, Liu Xiangmei took the lead.

Compared with the hesitation in the man's tone, Liu Xiangmei's red eyes carried a trace of sober determination.

She seemed to have decided something in her heart.

The husband and wife sat on the edge of the bed, facing each other.

Liu Xiangmei wiped her eyes with her sleeve, sniffed, and said seriously.

"Lao Chen, you also saw today's events. I and you, no matter how much hardship you endure, it doesn't matter, but the eldest girl and the second girl can't. In the past, I always felt that the hard days would pass after a while, but I found that I couldn't get through these days. ”

Hear here.

Chen Wenbin's eyelids jumped suddenly.

A sense of foreboding flashed through his heart.

Followed by.

He heard Liu Xiangmei say.

"Lao Chen, this day really can't go on, let's break up."

Liu Xiangmei's words are definitely not just saying this in anger.

Her expression was serious and calm, and she was a little cold and detached.

After so many years of marriage, when has Chen Wenbin ever seen Liu Xiangmei like this?

Liu Xiangmei has always been a person who is in a hurry, and all emotions are written on her face.

Although she has a lot of small problems, she has a big advantage, that is, she has a big heart and doesn't remember things.

So even with Jiang Ning sometimes, the words are not good.

She was still happy the next day, and then greeted Jiang Ning, like a nobody.

Such a big-hearted person has been pushed to the extreme today.

She couldn't take it anymore.

Liu Xiangmei continued.

"Lao Chen, you are a soldier, I am not qualified to mention divorce. If you agree, you can write a report and file for divorce with the organization. If you don't want to, that's fine, we don't divorce, but we've separated, yours and I'll live with two children. ”

Regarding divorce, it was Jiang Ning's idea to Liu Xiangmei.

Liu Xiangmei had never thought about it.

But Jiang Ning also said, "put it to death and come back to life."

If you don't give up something, how can you get more?

However, even with Jiang Ning's reminder, the person who really made this decision was still Liu Xiangmei herself.

Chen Wenbin heard the word "divorce" when he heard it.

Both the body and the eyes have undergone incredible changes.

The relationship between him and Liu Xiangmei was not a simple blind date marriage, but started from free love when he was a teenager.

And then there are so many years of husband and wife relationship.

When I got married, I said that it would be a lifetime, and I would grow old together.

From he was just a small soldier, to a small squad leader, to a platoon commander and company commander......

The husband and wife survived step by step.

The hardest days have passed, how come they are now scattered?

Chen Wenbin slowly stretched out his hand 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 in a low voice.

"Xiangmei, I won't agree to a divorce."

Liu Xiangmei had already thought of this ending.

She didn't just think about divorce, she thought about the days ahead.

"Then let's separate it, you have a canteen in the barracks, which can take care of your three meals a day. You also have a camp bed in your office, so you can sleep there at night. ”

"When I married you, I knew about your family. Your family is poor, and you and your brother are only one year old, so the whole family provides for you to study alone, and pools money to send you to the army. From that time, you felt indebted to your family, sorry for your mother, sorry for your brother. ”

"So for so many years, you have sent money to the family, I have never said a word, I always feel that my heart is more than my heart, as long as we work hard, life can always get better."

"But today, I'm really completely dead, dead...... Do you know how long it's been since we've bought meat at home, and how long it's been since the eldest and second girls have worn new clothes. The days weren't supposed to be like this...... Old Chen, shouldn't it......"

Liu Xiangmei used her strength to pull her hand out of Chen Wenbin's palm.

She turned her back, her shoulders twitching.

There was no sound, but it was clearly crying.

Even if she was crying, she didn't want to be in front of Chen Wenbin.

……

Outside the room.

Aunt Chen and Chen Xing'er huddled together and lay on the door panel.

Both of them struggled to prick up their ears to hear the movement inside the door.

"Mom, did you hear that?"

"Xing'er, my ears are not good, you are young, listen more, see what your sister-in-law said to your eldest brother?"

Chen Xing'er listened to the sound hard, vaguely ......

"Mom, I seem to have heard some ...... about divorce or not"
