Chapter 1633: Chapter 1633: New Marriage 5

Fubao served her tea and water to repay the favor and often did it together with Treasure Bead.

Treasure Bead has always been very close to the Lu Family. Although the child is young, she is very sensitive at heart. She knows who treats her sincerely and who doesn’t. She often looks after the triplets with Fubao.

Ye Yan is like this, and so is Treasure Bead.

"Treasure Bead is very close to your family, she never puts on a smile for me," Wang Guizhen’s words carried a hint of bitterness.

At that moment, Feng Qingxue was chatting with some military wives in the courtyard while knitting, stitching shoe soles, and mending clothes. Ye Yan, Fubao, and Treasure Bead were playing with the triplets and a group of kids, spinning tops, rolling iron hoops, and kicking shuttlecocks. In a trance, Feng Qingxue felt as if she had returned to her hometown, when people gathered to soak up the sun in good winter weather.

Talking and laughing, lively and bustling, completely unaffected by the outside storm.

The serene atmosphere was interrupted by Wang Guizhen, and Feng Qingxue was a bit displeased, but she smiled, "You’re her maternal grandmother, if you treat her well, why wouldn’t she treat you well?"

Wang Guizhen was at a loss for words.

She knew clearly how she treated Treasure Bead, and all the military families living in the courtyard knew as well.

After an embarrassed smile, Wang Guizhen said, "There are many children at home, their noise gives me headaches, it’s hard to give everyone full attention. This generation is lucky enough to be born in new China, with clothes to wear and food to eat, unlike our days of turmoil, living in daily terror, fearing the invaders, and fearing for our lives."

As this topic arose, everyone reminisced about their past hardships, sighing deeply.

The knitting needles in Feng Qingxue’s hands moved back and forth as she silently listened to the older military wives recalling past events. Over the last year, due to her busyness, she inevitably neglected interactions within the family courtyard, seizing this opportunity to learn quite a bit.

Among the military families, Feng Qingxue was more familiar with Peng Aihong and Ding Min. She got to know them after their children had a fight with Ye Yan.

Over time, the occasions of going back and forth increased, making them a bit more acquainted than others.

"Have you heard?" Peng Aihong opened her mouth while stitching a shoe sole, "Chief Wang’s eldest daughter is coming. Early today, I heard my husband Lao Zhou say that Chief Wang has already sent someone to fetch her."

This news was like a bomb dropping, causing everyone’s chatter to intensify.

"Wang Xiuhua is coming? Didn’t Chief Wang declare last year that she was never allowed to come for as long as he lived?"

"Not coming? She can’t let it go unless she causes chaos for her stepmother."

"That’s true, there will surely be a good show to watch then."

"Speaking of which, it’s tough for Xiuhua and her mother. It’s Chief Wang’s fault, learning only the bad things, not the good, wronging Xiuhua and her mother, and never being able to hold his head up in front of Xiuhua for the rest of his life."

Feng Qingxue vaguely figured out a few things, probably another case of a discarded wife. Wang Xiuhua must be the daughter from Chief Wang’s first wife.

As expected, when she asked Peng Aihong, Peng Aihong immediately explained it to her.

Before the founding of China, quite a few people in the army changed wives during wartime. Some didn’t want to acknowledge feudal arranged marriages and courageously pursued new ideas, thus divorcing and remarrying, like Qi Gang and others before. But some couldn’t contact their original spouse, and if there was no family news for three years, they could remarry and have children under the military’s arrangements, which was the case with Chief Wang.
