Chapter 101: Disdain

As soon as the words left her mouth, Li Xinyue pursed her lips: “This army is too controlling, isn’t it?”

Even how a couple sleeps is subject to their rules?

However, she had to admit that the words made sense:

How can a country be peaceful if the home is not?

Isn’t that what they always say?

But having a man sleeping in the same bed felt a bit off.

But what could she do?

Li Xinyue told herself: “I’m not planning to marry anyone in the future, so I don’t need to explain myself to anyone.”

Actually, even if she wanted to explain, she couldn’t.

After all, they already had a child. She couldn’t say that their relationship was pure, could she?

After a day of travel, they ate dinner, washed up, and prepared for bed.

There weren’t any large mosquito nets, so they lit a mosquito coil.

Li Xinyue didn’t ask where the mosquito coil came from.

She lay on the inside of the bed, Chen Yiheng in the middle.

Mother and son on one side, and she threw Chen Mingchuan’s pillow to the foot of the bed.

Chen Mingchuan, freshly showered, was wearing only a pair of big shorts and a white tank top.

Seeing this action, his face darkened: “…”

What’s the meaning of this?

Li Xinyue secretly made a face: “I’m afraid you’ll snore.”

Would he?

Chen Mingchuan’s face turned into a crow’s again: “…”

Just say you disdain me!

If they weren’t sleeping on the same side, then fine. It’s just sleeping, after all. He wasn’t planning to do anything!

But that feeling of being disliked came back to him!

He stretched out his hand and pulled the pillow back…

Li Xinyue glared at him: “What are you doing? I’m afraid of the noise!”

Don’t believe you!

Chen Mingchuan remained expressionless: “I have athlete’s foot, it smells really bad.”

“If you’re not afraid, then I’ll sleep on that side.”

Li Xinyue: “…”

Alright, you win!

Chen Mingchuan smirked, wearing his tank top and big shorts, and happily laid down.

“Click” — the light went off.

“I have a few days off. Tomorrow I’ll have someone come and fix the bathroom. Do you have any suggestions?”

The old house had a bathroom full of cracks and holes.

Li Xinyue was in a bad mood and didn’t want to talk to him: “Let’s talk about it tomorrow morning. I have some ideas.”

“Okay.”

Li Xinyue was worried she wouldn’t be able to sleep. After all, she was in a new place, and they would be sleeping together as a family from now on.

But unexpectedly, after telling Chen Yiheng a story about “The Little Horse Crossing the River,” she felt sleepy.

“Yier, we’ll tell the story tomorrow. Mommy wants to sleep.”

Chen Yiheng was the most well-behaved child because he was afraid that if he wasn’t good, his mother would turn back into her old self!

Mommy said that Sun Wukong could transform 72 times. If Mommy changed, she must be Sun Wukong.

Mother and son quickly fell asleep.

The only sounds in the room were the mother and son’s light breathing and the creaking of the old fan.

Chen Mingchuan looked at the dark ceiling and felt a sense of home for the first time.

Wife, child, the place where the heart belongs.

The couple didn’t know that all the soldiers in the camp were discussing this new sister-in-law…

“Liu Qiang, what does the battalion commander’s wife look like?”

Liu Qiang smiled: “The battalion commander’s wife is very beautiful, and his son is also very handsome.”

“Really beautiful?”

“She’s really very beautiful. She doesn’t look like a rural woman at all. She gives off a very elegant vibe.”

“Oh, so she’s worthy of the battalion commander.”

“I think so.”

Li Xinyue didn’t know she had become famous.

She woke up early in the morning and slept soundly as soon as she lay down.

That night, Chen Mingchuan also slept very well.

However, his biological clock woke him up at dawn.

But he found that he hadn’t dreamt that night.

He didn’t dream at all!

This was a bit strange.

Starting a few years ago, he had been having nightmares every night.

Although he felt a little inexplicable, he didn’t think much of it.

After washing up, he put on his military uniform and went out.

“Kid, come here.”

As soon as he stepped into the camp, Chen Mingchuan was called over. He immediately ran over and gave a military salute…

“Chief, good morning!”

Xiao Lijun looked at his beloved general with a kind face: “What happened? Why did you suddenly file a report for your family to join the army?”

“Didn’t you say you didn’t like it?”

“Because we have a child now.”

Chen Mingchuan and Xiao Nan were like brothers, and Xiao Lijun, this uncle, also treated Chen Mingchuan as a nephew.

“Is she the one who won’t let go, or is she determined to sue you?”

Chen Mingchuan immediately shook his head: “No, Chief!”

“It was me who was too stubborn before, she’s actually a good person.”

“And at that time… it was her brother… she’s actually very good… I didn’t force her.”

Oh?

This kid is praising his wife?

Xiao Lijun is a military cadre, his temper is straightforward, and his voice is loud.

But his heart is very delicate.

“Really not bad?”

Chen Mingchuan nodded: “Yeah, she’s worthy of me.”

Oh?

Xiao Lijun was instantly interested: “I believe your judgment. If that’s the case, after you settle down, bring your family to see me.”

“Yes! Thank you for your concern, Chief!”

Xiao Lijun waved his hand: “Go, go, stop flattering me!”

“Yes!”

He saluted again, Chen Mingchuan ran towards the training ground, where the company was already assembling.

“Battalion Commander!”

Not far away, Liu Qiang ran over.

“Anything?”

“There’s a letter for you, I forgot to give it to you last night. This letter has been here for half a month.”

His letter?

Chen Mingchuan took it and looked at it: The handwriting is quite beautiful, who wrote it to him?

Looking at the address on the envelope: From his hometown?

He received it half a month ago, so it was sent during the days he just returned home.

He immediately opened it: “…If you die, I’ll sell blood to pay your debts…”

This woman’s temper is really fierce!

“What are you looking at?”

Seeing Xiao Nan running over, Chen Mingchuan handed him the letter: “Li Xinyue wrote it before I went back, the child was seriously ill at that time.”

“My mother wouldn’t pay, she went to the village clinic to buy things on credit.”

“But they were afraid she wouldn’t be able to pay, so they wrote this letter to me.”

Xiao Nan glanced at it: “She has a lot of personality.”

Chen Mingchuan had a rare smile on his face: “Yeah, she does have a lot of personality, and she’s also very capable.”

“Capable?”

Chen Mingchuan nodded: “Yeah, she knows a lot of herbs and also knows a lot of folk remedies.”

“These past twenty days, she has earned more money than my two years’ salary.”

Xiao Nan looked like a crow: “Really that amazing? Didn’t she have much education?”

“Yeah. She went to junior high school, but then the school closed and she didn’t go anymore.”

In this era, it’s not common for rural girls to go to junior high school.

Xiao Nan raised his eyes: “Are you really going to spend your life with her?”

Chen Mingchuan nodded again: “The child is so big now, what’s there to not spend our lives together? But she wants to get a divorce.”

“What? You’re not kidding, are you?”

Xiao Nan was dumbfounded.

Chen Mingchuan had a wry smile on his face: “I’m not kidding, besides, can you joke about this kind of thing?”

“We are brothers who have come from the battlefield, everything I tell you is true, she really wants a divorce.”

What happened?

Isn’t that woman crazy?

My brother is so outstanding, others can’t even marry him, but she wants a divorce?
