Chapter 1634: Chapter 1634: New Marriage 6

After marriage, Chief of Staff Wang joined the military and lost contact with his family for several years. Under the arrangements of the army, he married the young nurse Xie Hongmei, who took care of him meticulously at the time. After the founding of the country, he returned home in glory. His daughter, born to his original wife Li, was already ten years old.

At his hometown, his original wife was dutifully caring for his parents and raising their daughter, while he had a new love giving him sons by his side.

Furthermore, compared to the rough-handed and plain-looking farm woman Li, the modern woman Xie Hongmei was literate and outstanding in appearance.

Chief of Staff Wang decisively chose the latter and divorced his original wife.

Because Xie Hongmei gave Chief of Staff Wang a son, the hearts of the Wang Family parents, who were honored by the ten years of filial piety from their daughter-in-law, immediately tilted towards Xie Hongmei and their two grandsons. They were also proud that the new daughter-in-law was educated and skilled in medical arts, so they not only did not persuade Chief of Staff Wang to remember the old feelings but commanded Li and their son to part amicably. They even enlisted the village elders to be mediators and shamelessly allowed Li to divorce but not leave the home.

The plan for divorcing but not leaving home was a good one to the old couple; they did not want to disturb their son’s new life, nor could they bear to lose the new daughter-in-law who had borne a son for the Wang Family. Additionally, out of fear and discomfort towards the unknown outside, leaving Li at home was different. Ever since she entered the house, Li had been diligent and uncomplaining, ready to continue washing clothes, cooking, and caring for them in old age. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Subjected to this humiliation, Li couldn’t bear it anymore and hanged herself with a hemp rope in the Wang family hall.

"It’s said that at the time, both her eyes were bulging out, and her tongue was stretched out so long, it almost scared Xie Hongmei, who returned home with Chief of Staff Wang to visit the elders, to death!" Peng Aihong sighed endlessly, "Wang Xiuhua is fiercely spirited; she directly grabbed a knife and slashed Xie Hongmei. That’s why there are such long and deep scars on her face. So, even though you’ve been here for a year, you haven’t seen Xie Hongmei; she doesn’t like to go out."

A hint of admiration welled up in Feng Qingxue’s heart. Well done, that’s exactly how it should be done!

However, on the surface, she was very surprised and said, "That fierce? Chief of Staff Wang still allows Wang Xiuhua to come over?"

"It’s not an option not to allow it. After her mother died, Wang Xiuhua tenaciously followed Chief of Staff Wang. Wherever he went, she followed. If they tried to stop her, she directly threatened to fight to the death, even going as far as to say she’d kill or be killed in retribution. So, Chief of Staff Wang and Xie Hongmei were terrified; after all, they still had two sons. Because of her overly violent temper, Xiuhua is over thirty now and still unmarried. No, I heard she has a fiancé and is planning to get married, so she’s bringing her husband-to-be to meet Chief of Staff Wang. It seems her fiancé’s rank isn’t low."

"It’s not that they’re planning to get married, I’ve heard they’re already married and are just going through the formalities." Ding Min corrected Peng Aihong’s statement, "If I’m not mistaken, Wang Xiuhua must be here to ask her dad for a wedding dowry."

Feng Qingxue didn’t pay it much mind; she wasn’t one to meddle in others’ affairs.

Unexpectedly, in the evening, a guest came to the house; Wan Xinguo brought his wife to visit, and his wife’s name happened to be Wang Xiuhua.

Since Chen Chen’s affair during their marriage, Wan Xinguo had been unable to move past the shadow of that time. The army introduced him to several potential matches afterward, but none worked out, and he didn’t hear of him getting married even after he retired. Surprisingly, after retiring, he found his match.

"Sister-in-law, this is my wife Xiuhua, her surname is Wang." Wan Xinguo introduced with his face full of smiles.

Though hair was graying at the temples, wrinkles showed on his face, and years of stationing at the border had left a mark of wind and frost, his spirit was high, clearly showing his fondness for his wife.
