live with conscience

Chapter 481

The divorce plan that Xu Minmin had secretly brewed had to be abandoned in the third month after she gave birth to the child, and the second month after she returned to the capital.

A child lasts for three months, unless it is knocked or touched, and the pain is extreme, it will hum a few times. At other times, it is either sleeping or opening its eyes wide, looking at everything blankly.

He didn't recognize anyone, didn't make a sound, and he reacted very slowly to any noise harassment, and he wasn't very interested.

Immediate doctor's examination, everything is normal, and the Li family cannot deceive themselves that the child is fine.

Xu Minmin knew that in this situation, it was unwise to divorce.

She couldn't bear to give up the child she had worked so hard to give birth to, and she didn't want the Li family to get rid of her as she wished, and find another healthy heir.

Mrs. Li's work was getting worse day by day, and the Li family and his son turned a blind eye to it, and hid out on the grounds of work, probably for this reason.

With He Cuiya's precedent, how could Xu Minmin fall for the Li family's method of dispatching people.

After raising her for more than ten years, if she really cared and cared for He Cuiya, how could she let an orphan girl live with a problematic girl in a mountain village with a large amount of property?

On the premise that He Cuiya knew that her father was unreliable and her mother didn't plan to talk to her.

It's not that the Li family can't afford to support two little girls, they can afford to support ten more.

It's just that I'm afraid of losing face... and I just want to make a profit!

This is also the conclusion that Xu Minmin has drawn from the ups and downs of her natal Xu's family and the Li family's ups and downs over the years, by chance and coincidence, slowly inquiring and guessing by herself.

The favor of He Cuiya's grandfather was tacitly used from the beginning to He Cuiya who would definitely continue the incense for the Zheng family.

This is when Xu Minmin returned to the capital after giving birth, and one night he was thinking of discussing divorce with Li Wuzhen, and when he went to the study, he overheard the conversation between Li's father and son.

"Dad, the problem is serious? They... all know?"

"Well, I didn't expect that we all underestimated He Cuiya! If we knew that she had such abilities, we would have brought her and that girl back in the first place. It would not be bad if you married her."

"And the Xu family, our family..."

"The Xu family has Zheng Daya, who doesn't look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. As long as Xu Zeda (Cuiya's stepfather) clings to him and doesn't know, it's the fault of the girls' short-sightedness, and nothing will happen! Our Li family can only be wronged. Yes... Fortunately, we haven't completely cut off contact with Cui Ya over the years. It is reasonable to say that the two of you have different personalities! But those roads must be blocked, and it is impossible to go as smoothly as before. No. The Li family will only be able to see you from now on..."

"Dad... tell me, Cuiya, did she... do it on purpose! This time I went back to Dadongshan, and found that He Cuiya has changed a lot..."

"So what if it is? So what if it's not? A girl like that, an old man who puts all the expectations of the family on her, is a powerful character, and it's not a strange thing. It can only be said that our calculations were insufficient, and we missed a move. You should be glad that Cui Ya didn't kill them all! This is already the best result."

"I'm sorry, Dad, if I..."

"We all have responsibilities, not only you, but I also don't want my eldest grandson to have the surname Zheng, and will have to sweep the graves of other families in the future. The current daughter-in-law is also good... With her here, the Xu family can't even think about abandoning her." Clean up the relationship... The key is that your rash action this time has left a very bad impression on the higher-ups, what you have to do now is to erase this rash and impulsive image as soon as possible..."

"I didn't expect that it would become like this. At that time, I just thought that the opportunity must not be missed... He Cuiya has already been noticed by them for her intangible cultural heritage. If our family can't seize the opportunity to do something... Although it is I'm rash, but my boldness this time... makes it hard for them to retaliate... After all, we used He Cuiya's favor to tease them..."

Xu Minmin didn't hear the one behind.

She ran back to the room in fright because she heard the movement.

Shocked, she forgot to mention the divorce with Li Wuzhen, and later, after discovering her son's strange behavior, she never mentioned it again.

In the Dadongshan area, there is indeed a custom of marrying a girl who is related by blood, so that the girl not only marries, but also borrows the blood of the man to give birth to the heir of her natal family, and pass on the inheritance of her natal family.

Xu Minmin, who grew up in Zhengjia Village and listened to various mountain stories during the war, of course knew it.

They are all stories that happened in the cottage during the war.

But these are not women who are strong and men who are weak, or things that the man only agrees to because he owes the woman great kindness.

According to the customs in the village, if the Li family really received such great kindness from the old village head, then the marriage contract between He Cuiya and Li Wuzhen would not have to be changed.

Even if He Cuiya died at a young age, the Li family would marry He Cuiya back home (an old custom of ghost marriage), and in the future they would have to give up a child of the Li family and change their surname to Zheng to continue the incense for the Zheng family and pay homage to him. Tomb sweeper.

However, times have changed, and once the world has been turned upside down, the Li family, which has fallen to the bottom, has new hope, and the Li family is unwilling to fulfill this agreement.

This point, the stepmother Zheng Daya knows.

After all, the old village head is Zheng Daya's biological father, and how could Zheng Daya, as the executor, not know about the inheritance of the biological father's lineage!

It can only be said that the old village chief has considered everything for his own affairs, but he has neglected the extroverted girl.

Zheng Daya remarried, and after having her own children, of course she took everything about her son more seriously.

Knowing what her father had done in his dying years, how great he was in saving those who were saved, and how much favor he had left for He Cuiya, the daughter who wanted to continue the Zheng family, what she did to the Li family Remain silent.

The two families, who were both going back to the capital, decided to ignore all of this. In their view, they had done their utmost to He Cuiya.

However, the amulet that originally belonged to the old village head of Zheng's family and was given to He Cuiya was too much favored, and they dared not and did not want to let people know.

Xu Minmin wondered why when she wanted to marry Li Wuzhen back then, Zheng Daya, the stepmother, didn't object too much even though she looked unwilling.

Thinking about it now, she and He Cuiya's roles are similar!

What better way to cover up the tacitly despicable and shameless transactions they made at the same time than the marriage of two families?

After the Xu family and the Li family returned to the capital, although the family members were slow to integrate into the circle, the stability of the men's promotion was enviable.

Until her son Li Ke's unexpected premature birth returned to the capital...

Then inexplicably began to show signs of defeat.

The Xu family and the Li family were supposed to be thriving, but they were hit in every way.

Including Xu Minmin's haute couture original clothing company.

Several companies of the same type actually came from behind and competed with her for business.

It's normal to compete with each other, but these same types of businesses all suddenly have the shadow of a backer, breaking the capital's government. When supporting industries, the policies are mostly biased towards her company's advantages.

In the capital, there is never a shortage of talents, only connections.

Xu Minmin has always naively believed that she was able to receive strong support from the government and to achieve this status because of her own talents.

The protection given to her by the Xu family and the Li family was nothing more than to prevent her from being made things difficult.

Reality gave her a heavy blow.

When the policy behind her was no longer the only key support, the advantages of her company and other companies were quickly shortened to nothing, and the unique advantage never appeared again, and the business naturally plummeted...

In Xu Minmin's view, this is the case, but compared to ordinary people, her original clothing company is already very profitable.

Xu Minmin was unwilling, unconvinced, and had no choice.

With her natal family watching coldly, Mrs. Li acting as an extremely arrogant substitute for the Li family, and her son still being dull and rigid, she couldn't give up her only source of income.

One can imagine what her life will be like once she loses even this point of support.

Just to heal her son, knowing how heartless the Li family is, she could only grit her teeth and carry on.

On certain days, she and Mrs. Li started a woman-style swearing and quarrel, in order to get money from the Li family to give her son medical treatment.

She is rich, but how can the Li family who caused all this get rid of everything?

Xu Minmin, who is extremely insecure, has changed from an elegant and intellectual lady to a shrew with a very bad reputation day after day. Familiar.

She can bear the Li family's deception, but she can't bear the Li family's neglect of her son Li Ke!

This is Li Wuzhen's sin, and the Li family must bear it.

In short, no matter how big or small, as long as it is in the interests of her son, Xu Minmin will try her best to win it for her son. Even if she can't last a day and leaves the Li family, she can't let her son suffer.

As for having a second child?

impossible!

Xu Minmin absolutely does not admit that her son is a problem child, he is just more introverted!

What's more, if she gave birth to a son for the current Li Wuzhen, she would want to vomit!

Xu Minmin does not dare, nor does she want to imagine, the most beautiful time in her life, the happiest university period, in that library, the seniors in white shirts who would smile at her tenderly, and the people she would talk to , Now that her child is his father, approaching her is purposeful and premeditated.

Say love Ye Hao, say hate worth mentioning!

In short, after Xu Minmin learned of the secrets of the Li family, his son's problems, and his career failure, he became more and more paranoid and unwilling to let go of everything around him, including Li Wuzhen.

The contradictions in the Li family became very acute precisely because of Xu Minmin's stubbornness who saw through the truth.

It can be said that for so many years, apart from her softness and love for her son Li Ke, she has been extremely sharp towards everyone else.

The good thing is that even though her company is surrounded by powerful enemies, it still stands out.

Without the special support, her ability can be squeezed out even more.

The downside is that, with a successful career, she suppressed the two men from the Li family so that they could not move.

Whenever she learned that Li Wuzhen might be promoted or transferred, she would take her son Ke Ke to make trouble!

Just like Brigadier Li and Mrs. Li, Brigadier Li's external image is perfect, caring, tolerant, loving family...

Mrs. Li has only one face. After getting along for a long time, as long as she is not stupid, she can understand how superb her character is.

The same goes for Li Wuzhen and Xu Minmin. Because of Ke Ke's existence, Li Wuzhen's image of a good husband and father is always on the outside.

And Xu Minmin...

She also obeyed the wishes of the Li family father and son, and became a well-known shrew and a suspicious and jealous wife.

However, Xu Minmin didn't want Mrs. Li to be so easy to fool, and was played around by Brigadier Li. Up to now, she still thinks how proud she is to have a son!

Xu Minmin usually only quarrels with Mrs. Li, but at critical moments, especially when Li Wuzhen is going to be promoted, she will make a big fuss!

The reason is simple: Li Wuzhen dislikes her, and also dislikes her son!After the promotion, there is no more time to spend with my son!There are so many soldiers in the world, anyone can be promoted, but he is unfortunate!

So for more than ten years, even though Li Wuzhen had a good personal record, he was still a small company commander and could not be promoted.

Xu Minmin will not give him this chance, she has seen through the Li family.

Selfish, mercenary, and the whole family is like this.

When none of their family thought her Xu Minmin and her son Li Ke were Li's family, she couldn't let the father and son have a chance to fly.

"Divorce? Impossible, Li Wuzhen, you don't think I'm He Cuiya, do you! Are you willing to throw it away when you're done with the Li family?"

"Now the tragedy between me and Ke Ke was caused by your Li family. How could I let you go! If you don't want to ruin your reputation, don't act rashly!"

What made Xu Minmin most desperate was that after she finally had enough of Mrs. Li's entanglement and embarrassment, and couldn't help but hate the Li family father and son, she saw hatred and murderous intent in her husband Li Wuzhen.

Simply, she also went all out: "You have always disliked Keke! The person in the world who has no right to dislike him is you, Li Wuzhen! If it weren't for you, Keke would not have been born prematurely. Even if you care about our mother and child, we It won’t be as troublesome as it is today!”

"Unless Ke Ke returns to normal, otherwise, one day I am here, you will give Ke Ke atonement for one day! Don't try to provoke me with anything! Otherwise, you will not want to see the consequences. I am in control Yes, there are more things about the Li family and the Xu family than you can imagine... In the worst case, we will die!"

"No one can deprive Ke Ke of everything. It should belong to Ke Ke. I will never give up no matter how small it is... Li Wuzhen, no matter how hard you can bear it, hold it back! This is what you owe Our mother and son!"

He Tongtong, who was thinking of making trouble, came to the Li family when the conflicts in the Li family were accumulating at their peak.

It can be said that the kind that comes early is not as good as coincidence...

A beautiful girl, guarded by two standard guards, came to the compound and asked where the Li family lived. A beautiful big white goose followed behind her.

This combination is very attractive.

As soon as I heard that it was the daughter of the adopted daughter of the Li family when they went to the countryside, she came to work in the Capital Institute of Science and Technology. After listening to her mother (absolutely not), she came to visit, and the aunts who inquired immediately enthusiastically led the way.

By the way, find out more news.

After all, the Li family has always been the center of the topic in this military compound.

They had a premonition that there would be new topics.

However, what they met was the "shy" He Tongtong. After several chats, He Tongtong didn't disclose much information about herself. They only knew that she was an apprentice of the director of a nearby scientific research institute, and that she was here today to visit relatives. The ones are gone.

"The Li family, is it Brigadier Li and Company Commander Li Wuzhen's family? Their family..." He sighed and paused three times: "These years have not been easy. Company Commander Li has a son who is born with autism due to premature birth and developmental delay. , and it was Company Commander Li who caused his wife to give birth prematurely, and his wife is still arguing with him to this day!"

"Obviously apply and make a report. As a family with special circumstances, they can still have another child. His wife just doesn't want to, saying that Company Commander Li dislikes his son. Every time Company Commander Li is promoted, he has to make a fuss! For ten years , the higher-ups don’t even dare to promote Company Commander Li!”

"As long as you don't mention the autistic son of the Li family, the whole family is fine, especially the wife of Lianchang Li. Apart from wrestling with her mother-in-law and being true to her son, in other respects, she is really the number one daughter-in-law in this courtyard! I am a college student, and I am also beautiful. I earn the most money from starting a company, and I have hired three nannies and five special teachers for her son! If there is anything in the compound, she will ask her for help. As long as she can do it, she will always I won’t push back, and I seldom blush with others.”

"When she first moved here, because she also knew that her family was special, she deliberately changed houses with the most secluded family, which was in the compound... To be honest, if Li Ke, the child of the Li family, hadn't known in advance There is something wrong with him, he just looks like a quiet child, it's all the fault of his parents!"

A group of people talked and chatted, and walked to the independent house of the Li family. It was indeed quite remote and quiet. Because of the terrain, there was a lake next to it, and behind it was a forest and a quarry cliff that had been mined.

Located at the tuyere, when the wind blows, there will be humming and rustling of leaves.

Compared with the house type with a good ruler around it, it is much farther away from other places, and the template is also somewhat different. It is estimated that this house type was not used for residential use at the beginning. What about slow steps with a low slope?

Li Wuzhen is the company commander, so he can't live in this type of apartment, so why would his father be Brigadier Li!

"Li Wuzhen, what do you mean, the hero saves the beauty? I came back from a mission, and I was actually approached by someone, saying that you are the father of his two children! Should you explain it to me! You are lame with multiple eyes I fell in love with He Fenfen, a scumbag who doesn't know how many times! How did she get her celebrity outfit, don't you know?"

Facing the wind, they passed a row of steps, and everyone was panting a little. Just as they were about to knock on the door, they heard Xu Minmin's big news shouted loudly from the room with half-closed curtains. For a while, everyone They all stopped in tacit agreement and listened subconsciously.

"Answer me! Do you dare to do it or not? He Fenfen also said that you were the one who rescued her from the traffickers back then! You have promised you with your body more than once! Is it true? She said that you are already a perfect son and daughter." , the daughter is only one year younger than Ke Ke, and the son is also six years old, so he can go to school, right?"

He Tongtong can be sure that the capable lady who is sitting on the sofa facing the floor-to-ceiling windows and excitedly questioning the man in military uniform with her back to the floor-to-ceiling windows has already seen their arrival.

However, she continued to question as if she hadn't realized it: "Is it you who asked her to ask me to abdicate? Li Wuzhen!"

Li Wuzhen moved a bit, and the movement he saw from the window seemed to wipe his face: "Minmin, listen to my explanation..."

Xu Minmin sneered: "Explain? You don't mean to tell me that it was all an accident! Well, tell me, I'll listen!"

Li Wuzhen spoke very hastily: "The first time was really an accident. Back then, I went to Dadongshan with someone to perform a mission. You know that when I was in a den, I recognized He Fenfen... In the past few villages, We all know that she is the most beautiful, I recognize her, and she recognizes me, she secretly asked me for help, but was discovered... I was drugged by those traffickers... We were locked together... Yes She took the initiative... Afterwards, she said it was a misunderstanding and she would not let me take responsibility... I only found out that she was actually pregnant and gave birth to a child after several years of reunion..."

Xu Minmin was expressionless: "What about the son? How did the son come here? This can't be a misunderstanding! What He Fenfen said, that you funded her and helped her issue a certificate to Dao City, is also true!"

Li Wuzhen was also very irritable: "Back then, she said that if she went home, she would definitely be beaten to death by her father, but she said that she could go to seek refuge with her brother in Dao City, and hoped that I could help... At that time I made a mistake, I was guilty... so I just let it go Helped."

Xu Minmin satirized: "Guilty? Are you not guilty now?"

Li Wuzhen sighed: "Can this be all my fault? Minmin, ask yourself, how have I treated you all these years, we are husband and wife! Real husband and wife, ten years, Ke Ke is ten years old, ever since Ke Ke was born , you didn’t even get close to me, I’m a man! I couldn’t hold back at all, once I received a mission to protect the guests of the island city, and I met He Fenfen, who became a hot star in the island city... I couldn’t resist the temptation ...you can say it's all my fault?"

When He Tongtong saw Xu Minmin facing the window, he smiled sarcastically, with tears in his eyes: "Tell me, what do you want to say, and finish it in one breath! Anyway, it's like this, I can bear it!"

Li Wuzhen also seemed exhausted: "Minmin, I'm serious, we are all at fault for living like this! As for He Fenfen, I promise, we will never meet again! As for her children, it is her wish, and we are all at fault. I have nothing to do! I'm afraid other big stars will look down on me as a poor soldier! If you can forgive me, we will continue to live on, if you don't want to, we will still hold on to the past, and we will be like this. Huan each other, let everyone be happy! Don't torture each other..."

Xu Minmin stopped laughing: "I've endured it for ten years, and finally I can't help it. Are you going to reveal your true colors? I thought you'd been repenting all this time! Now I know, I've always been whimsical!"

Li Wuzhen: "...Minmin, where are you thinking? Haven't you had enough trouble all these years?"

Xu Minmin's tears fell: "I'm the one who caused enough trouble? I thought I acted very professionally. When did I make trouble, and it wasn't because you misunderstood me on purpose?"

Li Wuzhen became irritable again. I don't know if it's because of a guilty conscience, or because he couldn't bear Xu Minmin's unreasonable troubles: "What did you say, your feelings made the whole compound like this, and I led you! How serious is your paranoia!"

Xu Minmin wiped away her tears, feeling relieved: "I'm always suspicious? Didn't you deliberately pick women who won't get into trouble to create opportunities for me? He Tongtong, He Cuiya..."

After Li Wuzhen heard these two names, his whole body exploded. He stood up and shouted condescendingly, "What are you thinking! How old are you! Do you still think there is not enough trouble?"

He Tongtong: ...

She was sure that the blocked lady had just called her name.

Xu Minmin snorted coldly: "Don't worry, I won't make trouble this time!"

Everyone could see that Li Wuzhen's body was visibly stiff: "You..."

Xu Minmin is very calm: "These years, don't say you are annoying, I am also annoying to act with you! Of course I also know that you will not accept a woman like He Fenfen. For you, anyone who hinders your future They will all be given up... I think, you and He Fenfen's past and experience, you have already reported to the organization, right! The organization must have already recorded what you did. No, it is more likely, These are all planned by you, and the organization already knows. Now you dare to ask He Fenfen to stand up because you are confident, right! I heard that the island city will return in two years, so you hide from me and contribute a lot in secret Right! He Fenfen is your pawn?!"

Li Wuzhen: "..."

Xu Minmin chuckled: "What's the matter, I have nothing to say, I guessed right, why are you so surprised, as you said, we are a real couple, and I know you so well, isn't it normal?"

Li Wuzhen sat down, but through the curtains, everyone could feel that the atmosphere inside was not quite right.

Xu Minmin was very calm: "Don't look at me as if you knew me for the first time, since you have dared to encourage He Fenfen to come to me, you must have made sufficient preparations. These days, you have changed The purpose of concealing the news of He Tongtong's arrival at the Academy of Sciences is to tell me that He Cuiya's daughter is coming... right! In order not to look weird, your arrangement is also very hard, and it took a lot of thought!"

Facing Li Wuzhen's continued silence, Xu Minmin continued to say to the people outside the window with blurred eyes: "The thing you want me to go to the most is the Academy of Sciences, right? Are you disappointed that He Cuiya didn't come? Think Let me make a fuss with He Tongtong, and tell He Cuiya about your situation through He Tongtong's mouth... Hehe, what kind of self-confidence makes you think that He Cuiya has been waiting for you without marrying?"

Li Wuzhen replied calmly: "I don't understand what you are talking about! Don't misinterpret my intentions!"

Xu Minmin smiled even more happily: "Li Wuzhen, Li Wuzhen, I have been making trouble for so many years. Are you really stupid or fake? You can tell me openly that the daughter you abandoned as a child bride has returned to normal. I came to work in the military’s research institute, would I still make trouble? I know that I won’t be suspicious, but you still cast doubt on me, you really think I’m stupid! Don’t you really think that I’m still Love you! Or do you think that I will bother He Cuiya because of Ke Ke's illness, so that you can take advantage of it?"

Li Wuzhen was silent.

Xu Minmin continued to sarcastically: "Look, old couple, although I didn't get close to you, it seems that I know you very well. I just wanted to see who can survive and who can suffer... ...I have always felt that since your Li family plotted against me from the very beginning, and let my Ke Ke come to the world in this way, facing the injustice of the world, I also want to make your Li family feel uneasy... Now I give up."

Li Wuzhen retorted: "I don't know what you're talking about! Take your suspicions away!"

Xu Minmin stood up and said condescendingly: "If you don't know, you don't know. It's okay. It's been ten years, and I'm tired and too lazy to act. No matter what, I can only admit that I'm really not that good! "

"But compared to you, an idiot who picked up my sesame seed and gave me a sticky bean son who couldn't get rid of it, but lost a child bride-in-law of a botanist and an adopted daughter of a military scientist, I am still proud of it!"

"Please type up the divorce report. I believe that with your character, you won't covet my company, right? Also, you will generously give me Keke's custody right! Just like you said, Let’s be happy each other! I’ve had enough.”

Xu Minmin looked at He Tongtong with a triumphant smile: "Even a sesame seed like me can't look down on you, an idiot. In order to avoid marrying you, he fell into the wolf's den of the Li family and hid his true nature for more than ten years." Cui Ya, will you fall in love with me?"

In the exclamation of everyone.

He Tongtong was silent.

She looked at the living room, who frantically punched the lady who she thought was delicate and fell to the ground, um... probably out of embarrassment... subdued by the guards who broke in the door... a soldier?

Pooh……

I feel like I should probably not take this trip.

It seems too wrong to drag a guy who is not as good as this kind of garbage onto his great mother...

Mom won't blame her for acting without authorization!
