Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 350 Military Wives in Historical Fiction 14

When Qingmo returned from her divorce, the villagers weren't very friendly towards her, and there was a lot of gossip going around.

But as soon as she returned, she hired people to build a house. Naturally, she hired people from the village. She paid for it, and they made money, so naturally, they couldn't say anything more.

If she talks too much and offends someone, her husband won't get the job anymore. He'll get a beating when he gets back, and all the old women in the village know that.

Everyone was happily building their houses, except for two people who were looking over with resentment on their faces—Wang Erlaizi and Sun's mother.

Sun's mother's good days were over after she married Wang Erlaizi.

Wang Erlaizi was lazy and greedy, ate a lot and didn't like to work, so the task of earning work points naturally fell to his mother.

Wow, Sun's mother, who hasn't worked in the fields for many years and always claimed to be frail and sickly, can now earn five work points a day and is still working hard.

You can't afford not to work hard. If you don't get enough work points, you'll not only go hungry, but you'll also get beaten. That Wang Erlaizi is really inhuman.

Even so, he still pressured Sun's mother to have children every day.

God knows, she's over fifty years old. Making her give birth at that age is practically killing her.

Wang Erlaizi would torment her every night, determined to get her pregnant.

After being a bachelor for forty years, he finally got a wife, and all he wanted was to have a big, healthy son.

In addition, he doesn't work and just wanders around all day after eating. He has so much energy but nowhere to use it, so he has to put it on his mother.

Sun's mother had no way to express her suffering, but she had to endure it because she was married to Wang Erlaizi. She hated Qingmo to death in her heart, otherwise, would she have ended up like this?

Upon hearing that she had divorced her son, Sun's mother was initially happy and even planned to lead the village women to verbally bully her.

Who would have thought that all the women would betray her? She's all alone and can't do anything.

Wang Erlaizi got angry and slapped Sun's mother across the face.

"You useless old woman, it's all your fault. Anyone else can go work at the Yan family, but I'm the only one who can't. It's all because of you, you old hag. What are you looking at? Go back and cook."

"I heard that the money for Yan Nier to build her house was given to her by your son after their divorce. I don't know how much he gave her."

"Your son has money, why doesn't he spend it on his old mother? Go back and write him a letter, you old fool."

He got angrier and angrier, and kicked his mother to make her walk faster.

The two of them didn't go back to Wang Erlazi's house, but to Sun's house.

No sooner had Qingmo taken her child to the military base than Wang Erlaizi moved in.

He was tired of living in his own dilapidated room, so why would he let go of this ready-made place?

Sun's mother didn't say anything, she just kept silent, hoping that saying less would save her from being beaten a few times.

At first, she was a little happy. After all, she had been a widow for decades, and this sudden burst of energy from a bull was bound to make her feel great for a few days.

But the comfort lasted only a few days before the happiness disappeared, leaving only pain.

Sigh! I can't say anymore, it's all tears. She's an old woman, she's suffered so much.

More than a month has passed.

Qingmo finally moved into a large brick and tile house as she had wished.

Sun Jianmin and his family of six returned to the village, all carrying large and small bags.

Oh, wrong, there are seven mouths, there's one more inside.

Captain: "Jianmin, what brings you back? Are you visiting relatives? Did you bring your new wife to see your mother?"

Sun Jianmin was a little embarrassed. He couldn't very well say that he was kicked out of the army and came back to farm.

"Uncle, I've been discharged from the army. I'm back to take care of my mother in her old age. I'm worried about her being alone at home, so I brought my wife and kids back with me."

The brigade leader didn't believe him. Who would give up government-provided food to go back to the village and farm?

However, they were all shrewd people, so he wouldn't point it out.

"Oh! Oh! That's good. But your mother isn't alone. You must have forgotten that your mother married your stepfather."

Sun Jianmin's expression changed; he had really forgotten about it. "Oh, right, Captain, I'll go home now."

The captain sighed, "Well, you kid, take care of yourself."

Sun Jianmin was completely baffled, but he was too lazy to think about it anymore. He should just take his men home quickly, otherwise even more people would probably come out to watch the commotion.

When he got home, all he saw was his mother working hard in the kitchen to cook, while Wang Erlaizi sat on a chair enjoying the cool air.

He frowned and asked, "Er Laizi, what are you doing in my house?"

When Erlaizi saw his stepson, who was in the army, return, a smile appeared on his face.

Did he receive the letter and come back in person to deliver the money?

"You silly child, what do you mean by 'rascal'? Call me Dad. Your father and mother have missed you so much, my son."

Sun Jianmin looked displeased, but he was too lazy to pay attention to him at the moment and wanted to settle things first.

"Mom, I'm back."

When Sun's mother heard that her son had returned, she rushed out of the kitchen, threw herself into his arms, and burst into tears.

"My son, you're finally back! If you hadn't come back, your mother wouldn't have been able to go on living, sob sob sob..."

Before the touching mother-son scene was even over, Wu Hongmei became impatient.

"Jianmin, tell your mother to stop crying now, and to cry later."

"I'm exhausted. I'm going to tidy up the room first. I need to lie down for a while."

Sun's mother then stepped out of Sun Jianmin's arms and looked up at the woman. This must be Jianmin's new wife.

She wiped away her tears and immediately put on a kind and approachable demeanor.

“Jianmin, this is your wife. Come here, daughter-in-law, let me take you to your room. I am your mother-in-law.”

Sun's mother once again adopted her image as a good mother-in-law, hoping to leave a good impression on Wu Hongmei.

He wanted to use a strategic retreat to advance, just as he had manipulated the original owner, to manipulate Wu Hongmei.

"Come, come, put your things down, sit down, sit down, just rest, you don't need to do anything, I'll do it all."

"I'll go cook for you guys first. Hongmei, what do you want to eat? I just don't know if you'll like my cooking?"

"Hey, country bumpkin, don't look down on me for being unhygienic. I'm slow at working, so don't rush me, just wait."

"Okay, Mom, oh, you call her 'Niang' in the countryside, right? Mom, you go ahead and do your work. I'll rest for a bit. Call me when the food is ready."

Sun's mother thought her words were well-chosen, and that her daughter-in-law would feel somewhat embarrassed or disgusted by her uncleanliness, and would rush to do the chores.

Unexpectedly, Wu Hongmei didn't understand what she meant at all. She just felt that this mother-in-law was really nice, completely different from the evil mother-in-law her mother had described.

Since her mother-in-law is so good, she can accept it without any guilt.

What is she embarrassed about?

She went to the countryside with Sun Jianmin and endured hardship. She loves him so much, this is a blessing she deserves.

To be fair, Wu Hongmei is a bit of a romantic.

She divorced her ex-husband because of an arranged marriage.

But Sun Jianmin was different; she had chosen this person herself, and she was willing to endure any hardship.
