In the years of famine, in troubled times, the koi sweet wife is omnipotent

next day

Xia Wanwan woke up from her coma.

"you're awake?"

Seeing that she woke up, Gu Huaijin got up and brought in a bowl of rice porridge.

Seeing her sit up from the bed, he gently sat down beside the bed, scooped rice porridge with a wooden spoon, and fed it to her mouth, "You fainted due to excessive blood loss yesterday. You must be hungry now! Eat something."

Xia Wanwan nodded, looked at the meal that only had soup but no rice, and sighed softly.

"You're dissatisfied with the lack of rice?"

Gu Huaijin frowned when he heard her sigh, put the rice soup aside, and said sarcastically, "Don't forget, it's all your fault that this family has no rice. I have people bring back every cent of my monthly military pay, and in the end, you squandered it all to this extent."

"No, I don't mind."

Seeing that he misunderstood her meaning, Xia Wanwan quickly reached out to bring the rice soup over and poured it into her mouth in one gulp.

At this time, three children timidly walked into the house from outside, stood behind Gu Huaijin, and poked out their little heads. They stared at Xia Wanwan cautiously and called out, "Mom!"

"Pingle! Ankang! Xinyao! Come and sit next to your mother."

Looking at the three adorable children, staring at her with such cautious eyes, Xia Wanwan's heart suddenly shrank, as if pricked by a needle.

Their clothes were full of holes and patches. The six-year-old child was skinny and looked only four years old. He was severely malnourished.

If it weren't for the help of Gu Huaijin's mother and Gu Baozhu's family, these three children would have died in the hands of their original owners.

In short, no matter how the original owner treated the three children in the past, from now on she will treat them as her own children, and will never let them have a sip of soup if she has a bite of rice.

The eldest child, Gu Pingle, the second child, Gu Ankang, and the youngest child, Gu Xinyao, had never heard Xia Wanwan call their names in such a gentle voice. For a moment, they looked at Gu Huaijin at a loss.

Gu Huaijin gently comforted the three children, then looked at Xia Wanwan coldly and said calmly, "Let's get a divorce! This is all we have at home. Take whatever you want. I will compensate you in the future and will not ignore your life or death. I will give you half of the military salary every month after I have someone bring it back."

Thinking that Xia Wanwan couldn't do any work, after all, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace, and she is the mother of three children. He couldn't just divorce her and watch her starve to death.

Moreover, in this war-torn era, it is generally difficult for divorced women to get married again.

"Divorce?" Xia Wanwan frowned, looked at him with interest, and said with a smile, "I am yours in life and your ghost in death. After the divorce, where do you want me to go?"

Gu Huaijin was stunned at first. He didn't expect her to say such a thing. He looked at her strangely and said, "You can go anywhere you want. Our marriage is over anyway. Besides, didn't you always want to divorce me so that you could find your cousin? This time, I can fulfill your wish."

Xia Wanwan looked at the three children and asked softly, "Pingle! Ankang! Xinyao! Do you want Daddy and Mommy to get divorced?"

When the three children heard her gentle voice, instead of feeling warmed, they were frightened and hid their heads behind Gu Huaijin again.

In their opinion, their mother had never been so gentle before. There must be a reason for this. Judging from her previous actions, she must have been pretending in front of their father.

Xia Wanwan: “…”

She just wanted to hear the children's opinions, after all, she was their mother!

The children's reactions...

That's it?

孽 孽!

Xia Wanwan touched the tip of her nose awkwardly, raised her eyes to look at Gu Huaijin who had a stern face, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to divorce me?"

When Gu Huaijin saw that she was going to divorce, she smiled so brightly. Then he thought of her enthusiasm yesterday, and his heart suddenly felt like it was pricked by a needle, which was dazzling and uncomfortable.

"Yes, I want a divorce." He pulled the three children in front of him, then lifted up their trouser legs and shirt hems. He said sternly, "Because I don't want them to have a mother like you who abuses them all day long. Look at them for yourself. They are your own flesh and blood. How could you be so vicious to beat them so harshly?"

Xia Wanwan looked at the injuries on the children's bodies, and then she remembered that her daughter was too hungry two days ago and ate the half corn that the original owner had left on the table.

After being discovered, the original owner picked up a bamboo stick and beat her severely. After hearing their sister's crying, Gu Pingle and Gu Ankang hurried in and protected her behind them, kneeling and begging for mercy.

The result is predictable. The original owner beat both of her sons. If Tang Guifang had not come back, she would have continued to beat the children.

"sorry!"

Xia Wanwan looked at the children and felt very distressed.

"Stop your hypocritical apologies here. I won't indulge you anymore. Now get up and go to the government office to get a divorce."

Gu Huaijin didn't want to see her again.

Originally, yesterday's lovemaking had ignited strange emotions in his heart, but when he was bathing the children last night and found them covered in bruises, his heart finally turned cold at that moment.

Xia Wanwan calmly stood up, put on her clothes, stood in front of him, and said word by word: "I know I did a lot of bad things in the past, but that was in the past."

Having said this, Xia Wanwan reached out and hugged the three children in her arms, choking with sobs and saying, "I promise that I will treat the children well in the future, maintain this family well, and never let the children suffer the slightest injustice again."

For some reason, the moment she saw these three children yesterday, she had a strange feeling in her heart.

Now, after holding them in her arms, she, who had never been a mother before, felt a strong maternal love in her heart. Especially when she saw the injuries on their bodies from being beaten, her heart ached and she felt extremely uncomfortable.

For as long as they could remember, the three children had never been cared for by their mother, let alone held in her arms. Because their mother never even glanced at them, and only beat or yelled at them. Sometimes, when they saw other children sleeping in their mother's arms, they envied and fantasized about being held in their mother's arms like this one day.

And now, their mother holds them in her arms, and they really like this feeling.

"Daddy! Xinyao wants Mommy, please don't divorce her, okay?"

Gu Xinyao looked up at Gu Huaijin with pleading eyes.
