Chapter 1488: I've Had Enough of This Life

The Political Department acted swiftly, and a punishment decision was reached quickly; last time, because Mi Cuifang was pregnant, the farm, fearing trouble, had submitted an application to the regiment to postpone her labor re-education.

Nothing could be done to her for now, but the previous three months of labor re-education were extended by another six months; that is, after her lactation period ended, she would have to labor at the farm under the regiment for nine months.

And because Mi Cuifang refused to learn her lesson, Vice-Platoon Leader Sun, that unlucky soul, was implicated once again; actually, it wasn't so much an implication as taking the blame for his wife.

His rank was directly demoted another level; how long had it been? Demoted twice in a row—anyone could not stand it.

He returned home with a gloomy face and unleashed a barrage of punches and kicks on Mi Cuifang; fortunately, he still retained his sanity and avoided striking her belly.

After the neighbors knocked on the door for quite a while, Sun Aichuan finally stopped: "Mi Cuifang, if there is a next time, we will divorce; I have had enough of this life."

As soon as the main gate opened, without waiting for anyone to dissuade him, Sun Aichuan, with a gloomy face, walked straight out of the courtyard.

At this moment, no one wanted to go up and provoke bad luck.

Everyone rushed into the courtyard at once; seeing Mi Cuifang sitting miserably in the yard, her face bruised and swollen from the beating, not a single person truly sympathized with her.

Everyone felt she had brought this on herself by looking for trouble; those who could not stand her turned and left immediately.

Only a few kind-hearted sisters-in-law went up, helped the woman into the room, offered a few words of comfort, and then left as well.

But their family's affairs became the talk of the town among the dependents' compound after meals.

The comrades from the regiment's logistics support department acted very quickly; they went to the township where the greenhouses were planted for a field inspection, felt the feasibility was high, the regiment leaders gave the final approval, and by the next day, the farm side was already bustling with activity.

They specifically invited professionals from the place previously inspected to come and provide guidance; in just three days, they copied the model and built six greenhouses.

Afterwards, they sent people to follow them back to learn greenhouse planting experience; the local farmers there, upon hearing it was the regiment, were completely open, holding nothing back, and imparted all their experience thoroughly.

During this time, Liu Chuxue had been closely following the progress at the farm; knowing the difficulties were great and only six greenhouses had been trial-planted, but at least the results were good, so this matter could be considered a success.

Naturally, the people in the dependents' compound also heard this news; quite a few people ran to Liu Chuxue's place to see the leafy greens she had planted.

In an instant, many sisters-in-law in the large compound also learned from her; some used wooden boxes to plant, others used broken earthenware jars; originally, many were skilled at farming, and merely changing the planting season did not stump them.

Time passed swiftly, and soon it was the day of Fu Yanwan's wedding.

Liu Chuxue and her husband returned to the city a day in advance.

When Fu's mother left last time, she had taken the key to Liu Chuxue's small courtyard.

Before they returned, Fu's father and mother had already tidied up the small courtyard in advance and even heated the kang bed a day ahead for them.

However, they did not cook; they ate at the mother-in-law's place.

When Sister-in-law Zhang Yurong saw Liu Chuxue's belly, her eyes were full of envy; her gaze followed Liu Chuxue's figure constantly, her mind frantically thinking: How wonderful it would be if I were pregnant with triplets?

And the second sister-in-law was somewhat sarcastic: "Fourth brother and fourth sister-in-law are truly blessed; father-in-law and mother-in-law ran over early to clean your courtyard for you. You two, if you had agreed to let us live there back then, would they have had to work so hard?"

Hearing these words, Liu Chuxue merely smiled faintly, showing no intention whatsoever to respond.
