Chapter 1669: I Know Nothing About Your Affairs and Cannot Judge This Lawsuit

Wei Wenbin's transfer procedures were handled very smoothly.

After all, Liu Chuxue was the freshly minted wife of Regiment Commander Fu, so naturally no one dared to make things difficult for her.

Just as she returned to the family compound to grab her things and head back to the city, she saw a crowd gathered not far away, with curses occasionally drifting out from within.

At that moment, a sister-in-law came over from that direction; out of curiosity, Liu Chuxue pulled her aside and asked, "What's going on over there?"

That sister-in-law glanced back: "The daughter-in-law of Company Commander Sun of the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment has run back, saying she misses her child and wants to return to live a proper life."

But Company Commander Sun's wife firmly refused to let her enter the door again. I heard people say that Company Commander Sun's son got engaged a few days ago, and the wedding date has already been set; this woman ran back wanting to reconcile. Truly, I don't know what she's thinking, giving up the good life she had before to make trouble. Truly, I don't know what she's thinking."

Tang Xinrui, standing not far away, saw Liu Chuxue and walked over: "Where have you been? I came to see you just now and found the door locked; I was about to go pickle some tomatoes, but I didn't expect a commotion to break out over there."

The military wife from before still had things to do; seeing them deep in conversation, she said her goodbyes and left first.

Liu Chuxue glanced over in that direction: "Why did Company Commander Sun's former daughter-in-law leave?"

Tang Xinrui pouted: "What else could it be? She had too much of a good life."

"What do you mean?"

"That woman was a educated youth from a nearby village; later, she and Company Commander Sun's eldest son took a liking to each other and she married into the family compound. Because she had a sweet tongue and knew how to speak, she made the entire Sun family beam with joy, and they indulged her in everything at home.

Not long after getting married, she became pregnant; from then on, whatever delicacies Company Commander Sun's family had were reserved for her. After her son was born, Company Commander Sun's wife treated this daughter-in-law even better.

Knowing she was from the south and liked to eat rice, they exchanged for rice for her every month. Yet just like that, a few months ago she received a letter sent from her natal home; a few days later, she left a letter behind and departed. Company Commander Sun's eldest son chased after her the very next day.

However, no one knows what happened; after Company Commander Sun's eldest son returned, he only said to treat that person as if she never existed, and said nothing else.

Company Commander Sun's wife pressed her son repeatedly but couldn't get an answer; it was only after Company Commander Sun asked a comrade-in-arms from that area to help investigate that they learned the woman had gone back and remarried.

The entire Sun family was furious; Company Commander Sun's wife even directly sought out a matchmaker, wanting to find another wife for her son so he could move on sooner.

Who would have thought that after finally succeeding in the matchmaking and her son agreeing, with the date already set, the former daughter-in-law returned."

Liu Chuxue glanced at the woman and the crowd over there: "Didn't they get a marriage certificate?"

This question stumped Tang Xinrui: "I really don't know that, but judging by the noise of their argument just now, it doesn't sound like they got a certificate; otherwise, why would Company Commander Sun's wife dare to arrange a match for her son?"

It was just a casual chat about gossip, but unexpectedly, that woman, for some reason, ran straight toward Liu Chuxue and the others: "Lady Fu, you must stand up for me!"

Her cry instantly caused the crowd of onlookers to shift their position again.

After cursing "bad luck" in her heart, Liu Chuxue frowned and spoke: "I know nothing about your affairs and cannot judge this lawsuit. Besides, you should go seek the leaders of the Third Regiment to handle this, not come to trouble a woman like me."

The woman, with snot and tears streaming down her face, said: "I feared the Third Regiment would not handle things fairly, so I wanted to beg you to help me. My son is so young; you are also a mother, so you must understand my feelings. Please help me."
