Chapter 1422: I'm Like This, and You Still Won't Let Me Go
At this moment, the deputy commander of the Second Company, Qi, chimed in: "This woman still has some luck on her side. I heard a few days ago that the deputy company commander Sun's mother had started thinking about making him divorce, fearing that his daughter-in-law would affect his career."
"It's normal for them to worry; after all, because of her little greed, Company Commander Sun was directly demoted to a deputy position."
"However, since she's pregnant, even if Deputy Company Commander Sun wants to, he probably can't divorce her now."
"Just wait and see; there's going to be plenty of drama in Deputy Company Commander Sun's household."
Just as they said, as soon as Mi Cuifang stepped into the courtyard, Deputy Company Commander Sun's mother rushed at her, reached out, and slapped her: "You bringer of bad luck! My son marrying you is the worst misfortune in eight lifetimes. The military merit he barely earned with his life has been ruined by your shameless self. How dare you have the face to come back."
Mi Cuifang was no pushover either. She knew her husband had brought his mother over to help raise the child, but she never expected that the moment she entered the door, the old woman would slap her without a word: "You damn old hag! You don't care whether I was bullied or exhausted; you just slap people the moment I walk in. This is my house; get out."
Sun's mother was no less fierce: "This is my son's house; it's not your place to kick people out. You've harmed my son, yet you dare to show off in front of me. Your Mi family really has good upbringing! I'll go ask your parents later how they raised their daughter."
Hearing these words, Mi Cuifang became even angrier: "What does this have to do with my parents? Stop looking for trouble. If you dare go cause trouble at my maiden home, I'll make your son go straight back home to farm."
Deputy Company Commander Sun, having received the news, entered the door and heard these words, his voice full of rage: "Mi Cuifang, what did you say?"
Startled by the shout, Mi Cuifang shivered: "Aichuan, I, I, I was just angry at my mother-in-law's words and spoke without thinking. Don't be angry."
Deputy Company Commander Sun had already received the message sent by a political department officer, knowing that Mi Cuifang was pregnant and would be sent back soon. That place was just a farm under the army, not too far away. After finishing his work, he hurriedly requested leave.
He didn't expect that as soon as he got close, he would hear a quarrel in his own courtyard, and that Mi Cuifang would even say such things. It was false to say he wasn't heartbroken.
Over these years of marriage, because his in-laws lived nearby, Mi Cuifang had frequently given money to her maiden home. Even if he was unhappy, he had endured it, but he never expected this woman to be so ungrateful, willing to ruin him for the sake of her family.
Although it was just words leading to words, it was likely her true feelings.
Mi Cuifang saw many people gathered outside the courtyard: "What is there to look at? Go away quickly."
Seeing fewer people outside the courtyard, she immediately closed the main gate.
Turning around, she ran to Deputy Company Commander Sun's side: "Aichuan, I won't have to go to the farm for labor anymore; I'm pregnant."
Saying this, she pulled her husband's hand and placed it on her lower abdomen: "This child is a lucky star, arriving just in time. Otherwise, I would have had to stay there obediently for a full three months."
Deputy Company Commander Sun showed no hint of joy on his face: "I think you're overthinking it. I just received a notice earlier. Given your current situation, and based on the army's principle of putting people first, your labor education has been postponed."
Mi Cuifang was stunned: "What? I'm like this, and you still won't let me go?"
"Mi Cuifang, watch your words. If you hadn't done something wrong, how would this have happened? Don't think you can get away with it."
"But when the farm director told me to leave, he didn't say anything to me at all!"
"You were vomiting and pretending to faint there; they just didn't want to take any risks. What nice dreams are you dreaming?"
