Chapter 141 So what if we sever ties!
When Li Wanqing was notified, she was clearing snow in the yard with Nuonuo.
After several days of continuous snowfall, the snow on the ground was finally thick enough to build a snowman.
Nuonuo was very happy, and Li Wanqing didn't want to spoil her fun, so she simply played with her.
"What did you say? My mother-in-law is here?" Li Wanqing could hardly believe her ears.
Logically speaking, the captain of the Renxing Brigade would never have given the Cheng family a letter of introduction, so how did she end up in the military region?
The soldier who delivered the message nodded. "Two police officers came with them."
Li Wanqing: ......
Not only are people coming, but they're probably bringing trouble with them.
When Li Wanqing arrived at the entrance of the family compound, she saw Liu Yufen squatting on the ground looking disheveled.
Two police officers were accompanying him, their expressions serious, not at all like someone who was just helping to send someone away.
Upon seeing Li Wanqing emerge, Liu Yufen jumped up and pounced on her.
"Third brother's wife, please save me! I'm really not a vagrant!"
Tears and snot streamed down his face as he rubbed them all over Li Wanqing.
Li Wanqing pushed the person away slightly with disgust, "Auntie, I'm not your daughter-in-law."
As he spoke, he grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and, regardless of whether it was cold or not, rubbed it directly on the spot where Liu Yufen had just grabbed the snow.
Liu Yufen was stunned for a moment, then immediately became furious, "Third son's wife, I'm your mother-in-law!"
She had endured so much hardship and hiding all the way to get there, and this bitch dared to disown her!
"Comrade, you really don't know her?" one of the police officers asked as he stepped forward.
Just as Li Wanqing was about to nod, Liu Yufen rushed over, "Police officer, she is my youngest daughter-in-law. If you don't believe me, you can ask the captain of Renxing Brigade. Everyone in the village can testify for me."
The police officer looked at Li Wanqing, who glanced at Liu Yufen. "Tell me first, what exactly happened?"
Liu Yufen shrank back and didn't say anything. The police then explained the whole story, which made Li Wanqing look at Liu Yufen with new respect.
Using the pretext of visiting relatives, he obtained a letter of introduction to go to the provincial capital, and then managed to board a train all the way to the provincial capital of Sichuan.
“We saw her at the station. It looked like she had been stripped of her belongings.”
“We checked her identification, but she didn’t have any, nor a letter of introduction. We had to contact the Renxing Brigade to confirm her identity.”
"We originally wanted to send her back, but she kept saying that she had come to see her son and daughter-in-law, and that her son was from the military region."
"So we brought the people over."
After listening to the police officer's words, Li Wanqing looked at Liu Yufen and clicked her tongue a few times, "Auntie, I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"However, as I said before, your son and daughter-in-law are not here."
They've severed ties, so she doesn't believe Liu Yufen would have come all this way for no reason.
Although she wanted to extract information about Cheng Baichuan's background from Liu Yufen, she couldn't let Liu Yufen manipulate her because of that.
Upon hearing this, Liu Yufen immediately sat down on the ground, slapping her legs and wailing, "Heavens above! Come quick! My daughter-in-law doesn't recognize her mother-in-law anymore!"
Today is only the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. Apart from the soldiers who have already returned to their barracks, many family members in the military region have not yet gone to work.
A large number of people gathered there, coming and going.
"what happened?"
"It seems the mother-in-law came looking for her, but the daughter-in-law doesn't recognize her?"
"Such a thing is true? Then this wife is no good."
As Liu Yufen listened to the discussions around her, the corners of her mouth gradually turned up.
The old man was really good at calculations!
So what if we sever ties!
As long as she is the mother of the third son, the third son's wife has to serve her.
Li Wanqing stood with her arms crossed, listening to the surrounding discussions, and she chuckled.
"A mother-in-law who has severed ties with her family?" Li Wanqing said sarcastically. "It was written in black and white back then that we would have no connection with each other in life, old age, sickness and death."
"I don't understand, what are you doing coming all this way?"
Those around Li Wanqing gasped in shock upon hearing her words.
In this era, filial piety and family harmony are valued.
Let alone severing ties, even separating from the family would make people gossip behind their backs.
This severing of ties...
I wonder how much injustice she suffered?
"Ah! I remember now, isn't this Commander Cheng's wife?"
"Yes, yes, no wonder it looked so familiar."
“If it were their family, I could understand. When Commander Cheng was on the verge of death, no one from his family came to see him. Only his wife came with a small child.”
“I’ve heard about this. Later I heard that Commander Cheng cut off his family.”
"What Commander Cheng severing ties? I heard it was his wife who made the decision at home."
"His wife is pretty amazing!"
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Liu Yufen's face turned green. "Mind your own business!"
“He is my son, so he should be filial to us for the rest of his life.”
Unexpectedly, not only did the third brother survive, but he also became a regimental commander and was promoted!
That's good, he can only save the boss if he gets promoted.
Who knows, it might even be able to help Er Yatou!
With an older brother who's a regimental commander, let's see if Er Yatou's in-laws dare to bully her again.
After Liu Yufen said that, the discussion became more difficult.
After all, this is an era that values filial piety and righteousness. When couples quarrel, people advise them to reconcile rather than separate, let alone mothers and children.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of hand, the police officer said, "Sir, since she is indeed your mother-in-law, please take her back with you!"
"Our mission is complete, so we'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he placed Liu Yufen's luggage next to Li Wanqing, turned around and left without hesitation.
Li Wanqing: ......
If they had slowed down even a little, she wouldn't have doubted their intention to shift the blame.
Li Wanqing turned to look at Liu Yufen, wondering what this old woman had been doing all along the way.
"Third brother's wife, look, I'm already here, you can't just send me away, can you?" Liu Yufen said shamelessly.
Li Wanqing sighed, feigning annoyance, "Come with me."
I just hope she won't regret joining this military region.
Before I even got home, I ran into Cheng Baichuan, who was rushing over.
After receiving the news, Li Wanqing sent someone to inform Cheng Baichuan, but she didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Cheng Baichuan asked, his brows furrowed.
Liu Yufen glared and pouted, "What could I possibly be here for? I just wanted to come and see you, you little brat!"
"Are you going to kick your mother out like your wife does?!"
Cheng Baichuan frowned. "My wife did nothing wrong. We've already severed ties."
Liu Yufen got furious when she heard this, and if Li Wanqing hadn't stopped her, they would have started arguing again on the way.
