Fast-forward to the era of cannon fodder

Brother Bin's face changed drastically, "Who do you say you are to him?"

"He is his wife. I am Liu Fusheng's wife."

Yuanchun repeated it twice and took out the marriage certificate issued by the team leader. "I came to see my husband suddenly. I was worried that Comrade Xiaobin, the gatekeeper, would not believe it. I asked our team leader to issue me a marriage certificate, and several village cadres in our village signed it."

The man took the certificate and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the marriage certificate of Liu Fusheng and a man named Qin Yuanchun.

The man said anxiously, "Comrade, Deputy Lieutenant Liu is in the department. I'll take you in to find him."

Of course he would not take Yuanchun directly to find Liu Fusheng. He sent a servant to take Yuanchun to the cafeteria for dinner first, and even paid for an extra meat dish for Yuanchun. He then took the marriage certificate and hurried to find the political commissar and the regiment commander.

Half an hour later, Yuanchun had eaten and drunk her fill and was taken to an office.

There were eight people in the room, the political commissar, the regiment commander, the deputy regiment commander, and two comrades, Ji Fengke. They all looked very serious. There were two women, one old and one young, beside them, both wiping their tears. Although she didn't know them, Yuanchun could guess that the girl was probably Liu Fusheng's new wife.

Liu Fusheng was kneeling in front of several people. When Yuanchun entered the room, he looked up.

When Liu Fusheng saw Yuanchun’s drastically changed appearance, he almost didn’t recognize her.

When Yuanchun saw him, she burst into tears and rushed over, beating and kicking him. "Liu Fusheng, you are not a human being. How could you treat me like this? I support your younger brothers and sisters to study and provide them with food and clothing, but you don't care about me and secretly send letters and money to your sister behind my back. Wuwu... It's been three years, Liu Fusheng, do you know what kind of life I have been living for the past three years?"

"Liu Fusheng, you big bastard, how could you use me like this?"

"I am a girl who has never done farm work. For you, I gave up the opportunity to go to high school and support your younger siblings. In order to earn tuition for your younger siblings, I dug mud in the river, carried manure in the fields, and chopped trees in the mountains. I did all the work that men do, just to earn a few more work points so that I can get a little more money at the end of the year and pay for your younger siblings' tuition."

"In order to let your brothers and sisters have enough food at school, I drink the water used to wash the pot every meal. In the past three years, I have not had a full meal, and have not tasted an egg. This is to save a little more food so that your brothers and sisters can take it to school to have enough food. I am afraid that they will go hungry at school."

"Liu Fusheng, I have worked hard for your Liu family."

"Before I married you, I was the darling of my parents, and I never had to do any housework. But look at me now, look at me..."

Yuanchun showed a pair of bony clawed hands, covered with wounds and calluses, "Liu Fusheng, look at my hands, they are all suffering for you, but what about you... For three years, there has been no news, I thought you died out there."

"Before I married you, my parents raised me to be plump and white. But after I married you, only three years later, look at me. Do I still look like a human being now?"

"Liu Fusheng, you are a big bastard."

"You secretly sent money and letters to your sister without telling me. They didn't tell me even when I fainted in the field trying to raise money for their tuition. If I hadn't fainted in the pigsty, your sister would not have said a word of concern and would have cursed me. I was so angry that I had a quarrel with her and then I knew you were still alive."
