Chapter 343 Military Wives in Historical Fiction 7
A few days later, Qingmo was having dinner at her parents' home when she heard the news that Sun Jianmin had returned.
Old Mrs. Yan rolled her eyes and leaned closer to her, whispering something.
"Girl, your man is back, and you're still eating."
"You heartless idiot, hurry up and come back, or that old woman will tell on you."
Qingmo rolled her eyes. "So what if he comes back? What's it to me? What, do you expect me to go and visit his grave?"
The old lady slapped her on the back, "What nonsense are you talking about? I heard he's a deputy battalion commander now, and he's been promoted again. If you follow him, you might become an official's wife in the future. And you're not even grateful for that?"
Haha, I'd rather not have this blessing of working myself to death.
Too lazy to argue with the old lady, she put down her chopsticks and leisurely returned to the Sun family home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Sun Jianmin sitting in the main room, with his mother crying beside him.
Sun Jianmin's face darkened as soon as he saw Qingmo. "Yan Nier, what are you doing at home? You can't even take good care of the child, and you've made your mother so angry. Do you even want to live like this anymore?"
Qingmo went up and slapped him.
"Go ahead, go ahead, go ahead! Who are you going to live off those few dollars with?"
Sun Jianmin was stunned. Was this still the Yan Nier he knew? She had always been obedient to him. When did she become so domineering?
Coming to his senses, he glared angrily and raised his hand to strike back.
Qingmo reacted quickly, kicking him in the shin. Sun Jianmin cried out in pain and almost fell over.
"You shrew!" Sun Jianmin shouted angrily.
Qingmo sneered, "Me, a shrew? Heh, Sun Jianmin, do you think I don't know what you've been doing outside?"
"Now that you've become successful, you want to abandon your wife who's been through thick and thin with you? If I make a scene in your army, do you think you'll have a good life?"
Sun Jianmin's expression changed, and his eyes darted around: "What nonsense are you spouting! What business do I have outside? Don't try to provoke me."
"Really? Then I'll go with you to join the army tomorrow."
"No."
"No."
Two voices rang out at the same time, one from Sun Jianmin and the other from Sun's mother.
Sun Jianmin was afraid that if Qingmo went to the army, his affair would be exposed.
Sun's mother was afraid that if Qingmo left, wouldn't she have to take care of all these children? Qingmo had been neglecting the family lately, and she was already exhausted. If she really left, she would be completely worn out.
Amused, Qingmo glanced at the mother and son and held up five fingers.
"Give me five hundred yuan, and I won't go with the army."
Sun Jianmin's eyes widened. "Five hundred yuan? Are you crazy? Where would I get that much money!"
Sun's mother chimed in, "Ni'er, what are you trying to do? Jianmin isn't going to come up with that much money."
Qingmo ignored it, sat down in the chair, crossed her legs, and struck a pose.
"Can't afford it? Fine, then I'll go with the army. I'll go tomorrow. I'll take the fourth child with me, and the other three burdens can stay with their mother."
Sun Jianmin's face turned pale and then red, but his tone softened.
"Girl, stop messing around. Let's live a normal life together, okay?"
"Accompanying the army? You think you can just go anywhere? I have to go back to the unit to submit a report first, and I also have to see when there will be housing. Besides, I'm just a lowly deputy battalion commander, how could I possibly get a house?"
"I work so hard out there, carrying out missions amidst gunfire, isn't it all for you, for this family? Can't you understand me even a little bit?"
"If you stay home and secure the home front for me, I can wholeheartedly serve the country. Once I get promoted, I'll be able to take you and the children to enjoy a comfortable life."
Sun Jianmin rattled off a whole bunch of nonsense, but Qingmo didn't hear a single word. She even impatiently picked at her ears.
"Finished talking???"
"Is it my turn?"
Seeing her attitude, Sun Jianmin was somewhat dissatisfied, but he still managed a smile and said gently, "Ni'er, just say what you have to say. As long as you don't cause trouble, we can still live together peacefully."
"Pass, pass, pass my ass! I already said I want money, are you deaf?"
"Can't accompany military personnel? Then I'll go ask your unit leaders. You're a battalion commander now, and you've been applying for housing for five years and still haven't gotten it?"
“I’m going to talk to your leader and reason with him. Don’t underestimate me just because I’m from the countryside. I’m not stupid. Sun Jianmin, don’t try to fool me.”
Seeing that Qingmo was so stubborn and wouldn't listen to reason, Sun Jianmin decided it was better to give her up and avoid future trouble.
“Girl, if you insist on being so unreasonable, then let’s get a divorce. You can find someone else to marry. Our fate has run its course, and we can’t live together anymore.”
Upon hearing this, Qingmo perked up.
"You heartless bastard! Now that you're an official and have achieved something, you try to be like those leaders, thinking you can change wives as soon as you come to the city? I'll beat you to death, you unfaithful man."
If we can take action, then we won't waste time talking.
With the same fighting spirit a rural mother has, she started scratching at Sun Jianmin.
As the saying goes, even a novice can defeat a master with a flurry of punches.
Sun Jianmin considered himself to be quite skilled. After all, he had been in the army for so many years. Dealing with a woman was a piece of cake for him.
Unfortunately, reality proved him wrong.
He was still beaten hard; Qingmo slapped him repeatedly across the face with the sole of her shoe.
He did want to rebel, but somehow, none of the skills he learned in the army were of any use.
He was completely under the thumb of this eagle-like woman.
"Oh dear! My son, stop hitting him! This is terrible!"
Sun's mother was crying and wailing beside him, but he could only watch helplessly, otherwise he would beat her too.
"Divorce, divorce... Yan... Ni'er, you..."
"Clap clap clap..."
"You...you madman, leave."
He rode on Sun Jianmin and unleashed a barrage of attacks, then, feeling satisfied, stomped on Sun's head.
He scoffed, "Pah! You think you can just get a divorce like that? Who do you think you are? Why don't you go to your unit and ask your superiors for a settlement?"
"you!!!"
Sun Jianmin had never suffered such humiliation before. He felt a lump in his throat and didn't know what to say.
He really didn't expect that he, a deputy battalion commander, couldn't even beat an old woman from the countryside. If word got out, wouldn't he be laughed out of the house?
"Will you pay or not?"
Sun Jianmin remained silent.
Qingmo: "Huh? Are you giving me a hard time?"
"Slap slap slap..." Several more slaps.
"Will you pay or not?"
Sun Jianmin remained silent; his pride wouldn't allow him to back down.
"Okay, I admire a man with such backbone as you."
That's what she said, but with a few quick kicks, she struck at his male dignity.
Hehe! Kid, let's see how stubborn you are.
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Several screams pierced the sky. Sun Jianmin was bent over, rolling on the ground in pain, cold sweat pouring down his forehead. This was truly an unspeakable pain for him.
Seeing this, Sun's mother rushed to hug Qingmo's leg and cried out, "Girl, stop hitting her! We'll give you money, okay? We'll give you money!"
Qingmo, with an air of arrogance, sneered, "Heh, it would have been better if you had done this earlier. You only behaved after getting beaten up."
Sun Jianmin gritted his teeth and said, "The money... I'll give you the money, fine. But we have to get a divorce."
"Bang bang bang..." (It's no use, it's no use, my second brother is about to break.)
"Are you still getting a divorce or not?"
"I won't divorce you, I won't divorce you, I'll do whatever you say."
Sun Jianmin was in so much pain that he couldn't speak. His mother quickly answered for him, because she was really afraid that her son might get seriously injured.
Before they could pay, Qingmo went straight into the house, rummaged through Sun Jianmin's bag, and then searched his body, finding a total of 250 yuan.
"Look, you useless thing, you only brought this little bit of money back to visit your family? Not enough money, you still owe me 250, then I'll have to kick you back."
Seeing Qingmo raise her foot to strike again, Sun's mother quickly said, "No, no, my girl, I have some, I'll get it for you."
"Then what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and get it."
Sun's mother dared not delay; this was no daughter-in-law, but a living devil!
She pulled out the money she had hidden in the corner, a total of 275 yuan. This was money that Sun's mother had saved for a long time. Although she was reluctant to part with it, she couldn't care less about that now for the sake of her son.
Qingmo took the money and proudly waved it, "That's more like it."
She jumped off Sun Jianmin's body, dusted herself off, and said, "Remember, a man who doesn't spend money on his wife is no man at all."
After saying that, Qingmo swaggered out.
Sun Jianmin lay on the ground, staring at her retreating figure, his eyes filled with hatred.
