FSC [QT] Chapter 69.2

With money in hand, a new house, and no parents-in-law to control her, the villagers thought that Ye Wu had really fallen into a blessed nest. Even Ye Wu’s parents often sighed that the marriage they had arranged for their daughter was good.

But who knew that this enviable life did not last long?

Just the day before, the post office sent a telegram that Kuang Aijun had disappeared in a battle. When cleaning the battlefield, his body was not found, and it was very likely that he had died.

Since getting married, Ye Wu had only met this husband three times, and the cumulative time they had spent together was no more than one month. However, she understood that this man was the guarantee of her and her children’s future life.

Therefore, when she learned of the news of his death, she immediately fainted and fell in the field. Her head hit a protruding stone and bled all over the ground. She was hurriedly sent to the health center of the team by the people next to her.

After these memories were completely digested, it was already more than half an hour later. Ah Wu woke up slowly and looked at the familiar yet strange people around her.

“Cao Ni’er, you finally woke up. Your Zhuangwa and Baowa are crying because they can’t see you. Listen to what Auntie says. Now that things are like this, you have to be strong as a mother. The two children still need you.”

Cao Ni’er is Ye Wu’s nickname. Heng Wu was a kind of grass common in the countryside. Ye Wu’s father named his daughter after this grass.

Because the humble name was easier to raise, the family called her Cao Ni’er. Over time, no one called Ye Wu by her full name anymore.

Similarly, for Ye Wu’s two children, Zhuangwa and Baowa were both nicknames. As for the full name, their father had never thought of what to give them. In addition, the children had not been officially registered, so they always called the children by these two names.

“Yes, don’t blame us for speaking harshly. The most important thing for you now is to cheer up, go to the army to handle the funeral of your beloved soldier man, and then find out how much subsidy the family of the soldiers who have sacrificed their lives are and whether it is paid monthly or in one lump sum. After all, you still have two children. It is not easy for a woman to raise two children.”

From the conversations of the people around her, it could be seen that ‘Ye Wu’ had very good interpersonal relationships. Otherwise, there would not be so many people who cared about her and gave her some practical advice.

“The fourth son of the Zhang family will be back in a few days. He said he would take you to the army. You can ask him. They are all in the same army, so he should know how much subsidy the soldiers who died in previous years got.”

In fact, if there were not so many people, these people who used to be close to ‘Ye Wu’ planned to ask her if she had thought about remarrying.

Anyway, she and Kuang Aijun had not met many times in total, so there was definitely no affection between them. She was still so young, did she really have to stay faithful to Kuang Aijun for the rest of her life?

This was not a feudal society, and there was no such thing as a chastity arch.

As for Zhuangwa and Baowa, the two elders of the Kuang family loved the twin grandchildren so much, and now they were the only flesh and blood of their second son, so they would definitely be willing to take care of them personally.

Ye Wu still had a long life ahead of her, and from her point of view, many people thought that she should remarry.

“Zhang Youdong?”

This name was a little familiar.

Ah Wu remembered that in the memories she inherited, Zhang Youdong had another identity besides being a soldier and the husband of Jin Qiaoqiao, a girl from the same village, and that was the man who had almost discussed marriage with Ye Wu.

Although Zhang Youdong’s family was not good, they were soldiers after all, so they were the best son-in-law candidates in the village after Kuang Aijun.

At that time, although Jin Qiaoqiao was as famous as Ye Wu, in fact, Jin Qiaoqiao was much more popular than Ye Wu because she had an uncle who worked part-time in the county supply and marketing cooperative, so he could often buy some things for his family that the villagers didn’t have.

At that time, the Zhang family didn’t think that the Jin family would be willing to marry their daughter to Zhang Youdong, so they asked someone to talk to the Ye family privately, but they didn’t say it out loud.

Who knew that the next day, the Jin family took the initiative to ask someone to come to the door?

The Zhang family was more satisfied with the Jin family, so naturally, they agreed to the marriage.

Because the Zhang family didn’t make a big fuss when they asked someone to matchmake, the fact that Ye Wu almost got engaged to Zhang Youdong was unknown to anyone except a very few people.

Now suddenly hearing this name, Ah Wu couldn’t help but be a little dazed.

“Where are the children?”

She slept all night, so her voice was a little hoarse when she woke up, like the rough sound of grinding paper rubbing.

Now Ah Wu really wanted to see the two children. As for the others, they were not within her consideration for the time being.

When they heard her mention the children, others stopped talking about the pension and quickly sent someone to notify the Kuang family, who had also suffered a blow and lost their backbone.

Ye Wu slept all night and the two children were being taken care of by Old Mrs. Kuang.

***

Jin Qiaoqiao heard the news of Kuang Aijun’s sacrifice and also knew that her husband would be back soon.

In her previous life, she and Ye Wu’s positions were reversed.

Fortunately, she came back at the most critical moment and stopped the biggest tragedy in her life.

It was just that she didn’t think Ye Wu would marry Kuang Aijun. She had thought about stopping it, but unfortunately, she had no position and couldn’t find an opportunity.

“I’m sorry.”

Jin Qiaoqiao silently said that she was sorry that she had taken away her life and that she would do her best to make up for it.
