Chapter 146: The First Heart-to-Heart Talk

The medicine used wasn’t cheap, but in this era, two hundred yuan could buy a whole basket of things.

Li Xinyue didn’t care about the small amount of money when it came to showing her gratitude.

“Aunt Ma, I have money, I’ll pay for it later!”

But Ma Suying refused to take advantage of her: “No, you rely on Chen Mingchuan’s salary alone, how much money could you have?”

“Take it first! My salary and Xiao Chen’s salary are much higher than yours, don’t argue with me.”

With the words spoken, Li Xinyue didn’t refuse anymore.

On the way here, Chen Mingchuan had told her that a teacher’s salary was six times his!

Besides, her sister-in-law managed the military service center, she had a career position and a relatively high rank.

With a high rank, her income was naturally high.

Sometimes, if you refuse to accept money, people might even be unhappy.

Because being able to solve things with money is much better than owing someone a favor.

Ma Suying and Ma Zhen kept chatting with Li Xinyue, and Division Commander  didn’t know what he was talking about with Chen Mingchuan and Xiao Nan.

It wasn’t until the bugle sounded at 8:50 for the roll call in the regiment that they came out of Division Commander ‘s house.

“Xinyue, come visit me when you have time.”

After leaving the military family compound, Ma Zhen and Xiao Nan went to the camp.

Ma Zhen went to the single dormitory building, and Xiao Nan went back to the regiment headquarters.

Li Xinyue nodded: “No problem, I’ll be at home making clothes for a few days after these two days are over.”

“I’ll design a skirt for you then, you’ll love it.”

Which woman doesn’t like beautiful clothes?

As an actress in the art troupe, Ma Zhen loved them even more!

“It’s a deal!”

“Brother Xiao Nan, when you go back to the capital this time, can you buy me some beautiful fabrics?”

“If you can’t pick, ask Big Sister to help me pick, okay?”

The Eldest Sister Ma Zhen was talking about was Division Commander ‘s eldest daughter, Xiao Yin.

Division Commander had two sons and two daughters. His eldest son and eldest daughter were both in the capital, because the Xiao family was from the capital.

Division Commander ‘s youngest daughter was named Xiao Qin.

In 1970, at the age of eighteen, she went to the countryside because of love, and now the two of them are still working as educated youth in the countryside.

After going to the countryside, they got married on the farm.

Now they have a son who is three months older than Chen Yiheng.

The official return of educated youth to the city hasn’t started yet, and her husband’s identity has some problems, even with connections they can’t return.

And Division Commander ‘s youngest son, because his eldest brother had already taken a recommendation to go to school, it was not good for his younger son to take another recommendation.

Now that the college entrance exams have not been restored, he is currently serving in the army, and he is only eighteen years old this year.

He’s just a little soldier, and he doesn’t get to go home unless it’s a holiday.

Xiao Nan “hmm”ed, indicating his agreement.

Li Xinyue: “…”

What kind of personality is this? Which woman could stand it?

Would it cut off your tongue if you said one more word?

No wonder it was written in the book that Xiao Nan later became an old bachelor, if Chen Mingchuan was like him, Li Xinyue doubted she could live with it.

Shaking her head, she rolled her eyes.

But Ma Zhen was excited.

He agreed?

Great, he actually agreed!

Li Xinyue didn’t know about Ma Zhen’s inner excitement, and soon the four of them parted ways.

Turning around, she saw her son asleep on Chen Mingchuan’s shoulder, and then she noticed him staring at her…

Li Xinyue’s face twitched: “Why are you looking at me like that?”

She was confident and beautiful just now.

Chen Mingchuan’s face flushed: “Where was I looking at you, I was looking at the road ahead.”

Go!

What kind of man is this!

Not admitting it?

But Li Xinyue didn’t believe that she was the one who attracted this man, she believed it was her ability that made him suspicious.

“Chen Mingchuan, do you think you don’t understand me from before?”

He was startled and stumbled, almost falling. “…”

Li Xinyue didn’t expect him to answer. She continued as if talking to herself, “You don’t understand women, you don’t understand love.”

“For men, love is just a part of them.”

“But for women, it’s their whole world.”

“Back then, I fell for you at first sight, and that feeling lasted forever.”

“So no matter what you said, I wouldn’t listen.”

“As for what happened that night, although I didn’t do it, I knew about it.”

“But at the time, I agreed with my brother’s idea. We thought that if we had already gone that far, it would be possible to have a long-lasting relationship.”

“But that morning, your disgusted and hateful look made me realize I was wrong.”

“I wanted to tell you that I was wrong.”

“I was willing to exchange this night for your freedom for life. I agreed to divorce you.”

“But you didn’t give me a chance to speak. You turned around and left the room.”

“Later, we had a child, and you still didn’t come back.”

“I almost died giving birth to Yier. At that time, I thought as long as you came back, you could do whatever you wanted.”

“But I sent several telegrams home, and you never responded.”

“I thought you would never come back in this life.”

“I thought it was all my fault, that I made you unable to return home.”

“From that day on, I decided to punish myself.”

At this point, Li Xinyue’s mood was truly not good.

These words were the true thoughts of the original owner, not an excuse she used to deal with Chen Mingchuan’s suspicions.

Silence followed them on the road.

The night was deep. Besides the occasional chirping of tireless cicadas, only the sound of the night wind blowing could be heard.

After a long time…

“I never received any telegrams. For the first two years, I did hate you and your brother.”

“I am a man, but I was forced to do that. I don’t know if you can understand that kind of humiliation.”

“Later, I went out on a mission, and it lasted for three years.”

“This mission was too important. It was so important that I didn’t have time to think about anything else. All I could think about was how to win.”

He never received any telegrams?

Li Xinyue’s heart skipped a beat: It turned out that Mrs. Chen never sent him any telegrams!

The original owner felt increasingly guilty, and it was largely due to Mrs. Chen’s scolding. She said that it was the original owner who forced her son to be unable to return home.

She called her a sinner of the Chen family.

She said that she only deserved to be a slave in the Chen family to repay the lost affection.

That old woman was truly hateful!

Fortunately, she also lost Chen Mingchuan, her cash cow!

Li Xinyue, since you don’t love him anymore, just leave!

Don’t worry, Yier is my own son. I swear to use all my life to love him, raise him, and help him!

A trace of residual consciousness in her heart seemed to hear these thoughts, and her heart felt a little lighter in an instant.

Li Xinyue knew she had heard!

As for whether Li Xinyue would completely leave, she didn’t force it.

After all, she didn’t have much influence on her.

Seeing that Li Xinyue didn’t speak, Chen Mingchuan was a little worried: “Xinyue, don’t you believe what I said?”

“I’m not a very good man, but I never lie.”

“Now that we have a child, let’s put the past behind us and live a good life together, okay?”

Okay? Okay?

Faced with this choice again, Li Xinyue found that she no longer had the courage to blurt out an answer!
