The Pretty Military Wife

That’s right, it’s past eleven o’clock now, and it’s still a long way from dawn.

But originally there were four rooms in this house for sleeping, one for the old couple and one for the eldest and the second couple.

The eldest's three children, the youngest of whom was only two years old, slept with them. The second child was a girl, so she was always allowed to sleep with Liang Xinyue.

The eldest grandson Zhou Tiancheng was a boy, so he slept in the room where their aunt used to live.

Since Liang Xinyue got married, she has lived in Zhou Guoliang's house. Of course, Zhou Guoliang's tablet is also in this house.

Zhou Guoliang had originally been very excited to come back, but the bad things happening at home made him feel very bad.

I carried my luggage and went straight back to my room. I hung my wet clothes on the clothesline under the eaves. They should be dry by tomorrow.

Liang Xinyue now knew that Zhou Guoliang could protect her, so when Zhou Guoliang walked into the house, she hurriedly followed him. But once she actually entered the house, she became restrained again.

"Light a lamp!"

Zhou Guoliang reminded.

"They said I was wasting oil by lighting a lamp."

Liang Xinyue leaned against the wall near the door. In her memory, Liu not only did not allow her to light the lamp, but also did not allow her to enter the main room.

Liang Xinyue also took the opportunity to talk about what she had dug up from her memories:

"Your mother said that since I was a widow, I could not light a lamp, was only allowed to wear black and gray clothes, and could not enter the main room. So, in the three years I was in this family, I ate their leftovers in the kitchen."

"Your mother said that I can't laugh or talk to anyone in the team, especially the men. Otherwise, I'll be considered unfaithful to my husband. She'll punish me by making me kneel all night."

"Your mother said that I am not in charge of the household, so I have not seen any money in the past few years. Every morning, I cook as much food as your mother gives me."

"Your mother said..."

Zhou Guoliang growled:

"do not talk!"

This is not a daughter-in-law, this is a slave!

Zhou Guoliang's face darkened as he listened. He didn't expect such a thing to happen in his own family. If his comrades knew that his family still used old feudal ideas, he... Oh!

Looking up, he saw Liang Xinyue seemed to be frightened by his yelling and lowered her head again, which made Zhou Guoliang soften his voice again:

"I…I know you've suffered a lot in this family."

There was not even a stool in the room. Apart from a bunk bed that remained the same as when he left home, there was only one more cabinet.

Zhou Guoliang stepped back and wanted to sit down beside the bed, only to find that there was a child on the bed.

"That's your brother's second daughter, Zhou Ermei. She has been sleeping with me since I came to your house."

Zhou Guoliang sat on the edge of the bed and pondered for a while:

"When they asked you to come to my house, did they give you a marriage certificate?"

"what?"

Liang Xinyue carefully reviewed her memory for this question, but it seems that there is no answer?

So the original body was left alone to be a widow? She didn’t even have a marriage certificate! She was sent to someone else’s house to be beaten?

"no!"

Zhou Guoliang guessed that there was no one. He left home at the age of seventeen. He was sensible at that time and knew that there were many such wives in the countryside. They all had no marriage certificate.

Some of them were only fourteen or fifteen years old, but they went to their partner's home, mainly to have an extra labor force.

They only go to get a marriage certificate when they are old enough. Some of them have children when they get the marriage certificate.

But Zhou Guoliang’s current status is different. Without a formal marriage certificate, this marriage is not recognized.

He is a soldier, and military dependents must be able to pass the review.

He also knew that Liang Xinyue had been in their family for three years, and if he said he didn't want her, her life would be ruined.

And she has suffered so much in this family over the years.

Zhou Guoliang pondered for a long time before saying:

"Tomorrow, you will go to the village with me, get a letter of introduction, and get the marriage certificate."

Liang Xinyue was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this young man who had received revolutionary education for ten years would come back and be willing to acknowledge this relative?

"Ah? Do you want...or do you want me?"

She was thinking, now that this grown-up person has returned, should she be allowed to go back to her parents' home? She wouldn't be beaten or scolded if she went back to her parents' home, and even if they said that she would lose her reputation and couldn't get married again, she didn't care, because she had never thought about getting married in her previous life anyway.

Men are just like that. Can't you just live a good life?

Zhou Guoliang said seriously:

"You've suffered so much for me at home, I can't let you just endure it. After we get the marriage certificate, you will be a military dependent, and you will get some food coupons every month."

Even if people of Liang Xinyue were not from this era, they would know that the country has always given preferential treatment to military families, but they don't know how.

But that's not the point.

The room is dark and I can't see his expression clearly. Is he willing to get married with me or is he getting married just to make up for all the suffering I have endured over the years?

But no matter what, this is an opportunity to change the current situation in life.

Liang Xinyue asked carefully:

"Are you planning on letting me stay in this house after we get the certificate?"

Zhou Guoliang hummed.

Liang Xinyue said lightly:

"Do you think that having that certificate can change the way I've been beaten and scolded in this family? If that's the case, just say you don't want me anymore and let me go back to the Liang family. I'm in my own home, and even if I never get married again, my parents won't beat and scold me like this for the rest of my life."

Yes, the worst that can happen is that people will point fingers at you.

With strong mental preparation, why would you still be afraid of gossip?

Compared with the pain of being beaten and scolded every day, Liang Xinyue felt that she would rather endure the pointing and criticizing.

Because she knows that as the country changes in the future, her life will get better and better.

But if I stay in this house, I'm afraid I'll be beaten to death before that time.

Zhou Guoliang looked at Liang Xinyue with some surprise. He couldn't see Liang Xinyue's expression clearly, but he knew that Liang Xinyue was disappointed with this family!

Zhou Guoliang frowned:

"You go to sleep first, I'll go out for a while."

He opened the door, walked out, found a stool and sat down in the yard.

Liang Xinyue knew what he was thinking about doing with her. Forget it, just wait and see. Anyway, she would never accept it again.

Liang Xinyue found a more worn-out piece of clothing, changed out of her wet clothes, then got on the bed, leaned against the headboard and fell asleep.

Her biological clock still woke her up before dawn, so she should have been making breakfast by then.

Liang Xinyue thought that the man was still sitting outside and hadn't come in to sleep. If the old woman knew that her son had come back and sat there all night, wouldn't they fight again?

Liang Xinyue walked out of the room, but Zhou Guoliang, who was sitting outside the door, also stood up and looked at Liang Xinyue and said:

"I've made up my mind. I'll take you to the army. Do you think you can join the army?"
