After four years of marriage, the military officer husband came back
Chapter 25: Seize the opportunity to win and leave no room for others
Everyone couldn't help but wonder why Lu's second wife seemed like a different person. Although she still looked weak on the outside, her logical and orderly way of doing things was nothing like her former self.
Under everyone's scrutiny, Wang Mingfang took the account book handed over by Xia Qingning in dismay, but did not open it. She was reluctant to spit out the meat she had eaten, so she began to play the emotional card for Xia Qingning:
"Qing Ning, it's not that I don't want to give you the money. Look at our sewing machine, radio, and bicycle... each one costs hundreds of dollars."
As expected, Xia Qingning had already expected that she would find excuses and would not easily return the money.
Wang Mingfang stepped forward and took Xia Qingning's hand: "You usually use these things, right? We are a family, there is no need..."
"We are not a family!" Lu Jingzhe looked at Wang Mingfang, interrupted her and said clearly, then like a reminder or a warning:
"You have to understand that you and my father have divorced a long time ago, and he has never planned to remarry you. You and you can never be a family."
Wang Mingfang didn't expect Lu Jingzhe to ruthlessly lose her face in front of so many people. She felt angry and annoyed.
However, these words gave her the opportunity to make a fuss. The next second, her tears started to fall, and she said tearfully:
"Jingzhe, you can't say such heartless things. No matter what, I am your brother's biological mother, wuwu...
Over the years, I have worked like a slave in the Lu family, taking care of this family and your sister. I gave her all the delicious food and treated her better than my own granddaughter! Woohoo...
Also, when your wife first came to the Lu family, she was pale and skinny, not like a human being. Look at her now, fair and pretty. If I say that I treat her harshly, God will not approve, wuwu...
At the beginning, you and her... Li Dong wanted to kill someone, and I persuaded him that we were brothers, so don't be too picky. I devoted myself to the Lu family and gave my all, but now I am in a difficult situation, wuwu..."
After hearing what she said, a different voice emerged from the crowd:
"They say it's hard to be a stepmother. I think it's not easy for the ex-wife either. It's not easy for her to do what Aunt Mingfang does."
"It should be said that she is really good to the girl from the Lu family. We have seen it all."
"When Xia Qingning married Lu Jingzhe, her aunt Mingfang did not say anything."
Amid Wang Mingfang's accusations and everyone's discussions, Lu Jingzhe's face became more and more ugly, but he said nothing. The person in front of him was an old and scheming woman, and she was a very scheming old woman. He couldn't just quarrel with her in public.
Today, Xia Qingning finally learned what it means to be eloquent. Wang Mingfang is really not an ordinary person. Every sentence he says is showing off his hard work and great contributions.
She never mentioned the dirty things she did to her original body, and in the end she even brought up the old story of her brother-in-law "sleeping" with her sister-in-law to kill her. She was so vicious.
Since Wang Mingfang wants to establish herself as a kind ex-wife, she should tear off her disguise and let everyone see what kind of ex-wife she really is.
Xia Qingning walked slowly to Wang Mingfang's side, looked at her and said confidently:
"Aunt, I think Jingzhe is right. You and dad have been divorced for so many years, and you have both remarried. You are really not a family anymore." She paused and asked seriously:
"As for the fact that Dad will never remarry you, I think you know the reason better than anyone else."
Xia Qingning deliberately stopped talking here, and the people around her looked at her in confusion.
Because the Lu family moved into the yard after Lu Baichuan resumed work, no one knew about their family's previous situation. Now that Xia Qingning mentioned it, everyone was naturally very curious.
Hearing Xia Qingning say this, Wang Mingfang, who was good at disguising herself, became visibly nervous, but she kept comforting herself in her heart, she couldn't possibly know, how could she possibly know!
Seeing that everyone's curiosity had been aroused, Xia Qingning continued:
"Before Dad was sent down to the countryside, you heard the news and took the initiative to file for a divorce, right?"
"You know nothing, don't talk nonsense here." Before she could finish, Wang Mingfang interrupted her immediately, her tone hurried and panicked.
"Aunt, you know clearly whether I am talking nonsense or not. You wanted to live a good life for yourself, so you didn't even want your one-year-old child when you divorced, right?"
"Not only that, you also wrote a letter of guarantee to sever ties with them, right? And then you turned around and married the director of the Revolutionary Committee who was investigating Dad."
Xia Qingning looked at Wang Mingfang and did not give her a chance to breathe before continuing:
"Your letter of guarantee is still with Dad. It is an indisputable fact that you married the director of the Revolutionary Committee. Dad suffered in the countryside, but you enjoyed happiness in the city. For someone like you, Jingzhe didn't treat you as a family member. What's wrong with that?"
Hearing this, everyone sighed and finally understood why, no matter how Wang Mingfang tried to please Lu Baichuan over the years, Lu Baichuan remained cold.
Which man would dare to marry a heartless and ungrateful woman who abandons her husband and children?
"Dad has not told this matter because he is concerned about your face. It is embarrassing for you to live here with your identity. Now you ask Jingzhe to treat you as a family member. Isn't that too much to ask?" Xia Qingning took advantage of the situation and asked Wang Mingfang one question at a time.
Wang Mingfang was ashamed and annoyed when her true identity was exposed. Although everything Xia Qingning said was true, she was still trying to find excuses to defend herself:
"In that situation, I did that to protect myself. I wanted to live a better life and bring my child to live with me so that he wouldn't suffer. Was I wrong?
Besides, this is all about what happened between me and your father in the past. I have never done anything wrong to you youngsters in this family. Back then, you and Lu Jingzhe did that thing and humiliated my son so much, but I didn’t say a single harsh word to you. Now you and your wife have united to humiliate me. Do you still have any conscience?..."
"Why am I in Lu Jingzhe's bed? Don't you know the reason better than anyone else?" Xia Qingning couldn't help but interrupt her and asked back.
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked again. Last time, Xia Qingning said that she was brought to Lu Jingzhe's bed by Wang Mingfang and her son. Could there really be a hidden story behind what happened back then?
Lu Jingzhe also looked at Xia Qingning unconsciously, as if he was thinking.
"What do I know? I don't know! Could it be that I was the one who tied you to his bed?" Wang Mingfang immediately denied it.
Xia Qingning knew that she had no evidence and no one would believe her even if she told the truth, so she simply stopped defending herself and said:
"You keep bringing this up, aren't you just trying to make Jingzhe feel guilty? But what did he do wrong?
At that time, he was already a battalion commander in the army. He was so well-off and there were many women from good families who liked him. Could he have any improper thoughts about me, an ugly girl from the country?
He was forced to marry me, so what has he done to you?"
After Xia Qingning said this, even Lu Jingzhe, who was indifferent, couldn't help but be moved. In order to protect his face, she actually belittled herself like this.
At this point, Xia Qingning changed the subject again and suddenly stared at Wang Mingfang intently:
"As for why I ended up in his bed, you know it even if I don't tell you. Don't forget that my father sacrificed his life to save your son. If you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that he will be restless in the afterlife and come looking for you at midnight?"
"You are talking nonsense. We did nothing. I, Wang Mingfang, am upright and honest. I am not afraid of any gods or ghosts..."
Wang Mingfang defended herself loudly, but she was obviously lacking in confidence and looked very flustered.
Just then she suddenly caught a glimpse of her son Lu Lidong walking into the yard. He seemed to have finally found support and started crying again with a "wow".
When Lu Lidong heard the crying, his face changed drastically. He quickly walked to Wang Mingfang, grabbed her and asked:
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"Lidong, you're finally back. Mom just wanted to come over to help you take care of the children and reduce the burden on you and your wife. I didn't expect to be bullied and wronged like this. Mom can't stay in this house anymore. Mom will pack up now and leave right away..." As she said this, she pretended to walk into the house.
They had been arguing for a long time just now but she didn't say she wanted to leave. Now that her son is back, she pretends to be weak and pitiful, crying and saying she wants to leave. Isn't this obviously pretentious?
Lu Lidong immediately grabbed her, looked at her and said loudly:
"Mom, this is your son's house, you can live here if you want, no one can drive you away."
"I will only be disliked if I stay here. No matter how well I do or how well I take care of Xiaoxue, I am still an outsider. They can kick me out whenever they want... Lidong, I don't want to put you in a difficult position. I'm leaving now." Wang Mingfang continued to cry.
Wang Mingfang used this trick of crying and making a fuss just to win sympathy. She felt that Lu Jingzhe should give her some face in front of Lu Lidong. As expected, the next second she heard Lu Jingzhe say in a deep voice:
"and many more……"
Wang Mingfang was overjoyed and was waiting for Lu Jingzhe to ask her to stay, but the next second she heard him say in a cold voice:
"Before you leave, pay your salary back first!"
