CHAPTER 466: CHAPTER 493 SENDING OFF AI MEI

Tian Jian’s eyes were red with urgency, and he pushed Ai Mei away; "I can’t deal with it! My wife is like this now, how can I have the energy to deal with you!" After saying that, he slammed the door shut, locked it, and left holding his wife.

Seeing everyone leave, Liu Gang stopped pretending, stood up supporting the stairs, and said coldly; "Pack your bags and get ready to return to the village!"

"You were pretending?"

Liu Gang did not answer.

Ai Mei said anxiously, "I don’t want to..."

"You don’t want to?" Liu Gang replied coldly, "You’ve become a menace in the courtyard, what more do you want? Do you want to offend everyone and get me kicked out of the army to satisfy you?"

Ai Mei began to cry; "You always use such words to scare me, I don’t want to leave, if you want to kick me out, I’ll tell the leaders you hit me!"

"With the way you act like a shrew now, who would believe you!" Liu Gang sneered. "At that time, if you had spoken up, it would have been fine, but didn’t you always deny it? Plus, the neighbors who stood up for you have all been wronged by you, who will stand for you now? You hit me? Who would believe it now!"

Ai Mei finally understood that she had been played by Liu Gang.

Liu Gang straightened his clothes: "You can rest here, I’m going to the infirmary for treatment. Then I’ll talk to the leaders to quickly resolve this, look at what you’ve done, even Gu Junming and his wife don’t dare to come home, Zheng Lijuan’s child is scared, can the leaders let you stay around? It’s a daydream."

Ai Mei was completely dumbfounded, she sobbed and knocked on doors for help, feeling panicked, but no one opened their door. Everyone pretended no one was home.

Ai Mei felt so miserable! What should she do? Why is no one helping or controlling her! No matter how much she cried, no one came out, Ai Mei was utterly desperate, she felt like the most pitiful person in the world.

Meanwhile, Zheng Lijuan had already gotten down from Tian Jian’s arms.

"Alright, alright, I’m fine."

"How can you be fine? Didn’t your stomach hurt?"

Zheng Lijuan smiled mischievously, "I’m not! I was tricking them, hard to believe you bought it too."

Tian Jian let out a sigh of relief, then tapped Zheng Lijuan’s head, "You! Always scaring me! But turns out there’s no baby, I’m a bit disappointed."

Zheng Lijuan touched her belly as she walked forward, speaking softly, "My period didn’t come last month. But it’s still early, if it doesn’t come next month, we can probably confirm it."

"Really?" Tian Jian was stunned, then excitedly hugged Zheng Lijuan, "Wife! Is it true what you said?"

Zheng Lijuan was startled, pushed her husband away, "What are you doing, we’re outside!"

Tian Family looked around, smiled, and said, "This is great! Haha, this time we’re going to have a big chubby boy!"

"Don’t like daughters? You’re a soldier, you can’t favor boys over girls."

"No! I was just saying, daughters are good too, come, let me feel." He touched his wife’s belly.

Zheng Lijuan laughed and dodged, "It’s not good if people see."

"Be careful when you walk! Really, you’re pregnant and still so reckless?" He nervously protected his wife.

The two of them discussed, guessing that Ai Mei wouldn’t calm down, so to avoid being disturbed by Ai Mei, they decided not to go back for now and stayed at the military guesthouse for the night.

Sure enough, Ai Mei caused such a racket with the neighbors of that building at night that no one could sleep, crying and wailing nonstop. Although people sympathized with Ai Mei’s situation a bit, she was affecting everyone’s rest and that couldn’t be accepted.

They all hoped Ai Mei would just leave, there was no point in maintaining such a marriage.

The next morning, Zhuang Lin went to the canteen to get breakfast, and upon returning, told her husband: "Ai Mei will probably be sent back to her hometown this time. With her causing so much trouble, several families have moved out, not daring to stay home."

Her husband glanced at Zhuang Lin and continued to read the newspaper, "Are you happy now? You finally have some drama, look at how excited you are."

Zhuang Lin’s expression changed, "Why do you say that? I’m just thinking about everyone’s wellbeing, if they can’t sleep well, how can they work, see Gu Junming and Tian Jian’s families have both moved out."

"Hmm. You should stay out of this."

Zhuang Lin placed breakfast on the table one by one, soy milk, fried dough sticks, and two vegetable buns: "Do you think I’m stupid? I’ve known Ai Mei’s nature for a long time. If you help her, you’ll definitely benefit nothing, she’ll cling to you afterward. If it turns out well, it’s expected, but if something goes wrong, it’s your fault."

Her husband said nothing and went to wash his hands to eat, while Zhuang Lin pouted, thinking, he doesn’t even praise me when I’m right.

Liu Gang got a head injury from Ai Mei hitting him, took a three-day leave, and couldn’t live in that building due to Ai Mei’s chaos. With so many incidents intertwined, Ai Mei was eventually sent back.

Of course, the leaders put it nicely, saying it’s almost New Year, and she should go back to help prepare the New Year’s goods, and they’d discuss further after the celebration.

But everyone knew, once Ai Mei returned, Liu Gang’s parents would never allow this spendthrift daughter-in-law to come back, Ai Mei was almost forcibly put on the train by Liu Gang. Like a piece of luggage, without any emotion.

Ai Mei begged him in tears, "I don’t want to go back to the village, I don’t want to!"

"Go back to the village, you have a piece of land there, you won’t starve! Don’t worry, our family won’t reject you."

"No!" Ai Mei had been in the city for so many years, though life hadn’t been good, except for cooking and laundry, she did no chores, how could she go back to till the land? Being tormented by in-laws, how could life be good?

Liu Gang said, "You should know, going back is the leader’s decision, if you dare not to comply, once you get off the train, I’ll stop caring about you, and I promise you won’t step back into the courtyard, it’s up to you!" After saying that, he turned and left.

Ai Mei was utterly desperate, unable to return to the courtyard, no one in the city wanted her, she didn’t know what to do. With no money on her, she could only go back for now and wait until after the New Year.

No matter what, I’ve been with him for so many years, the leaders can’t ignore me.

She gritted her teeth and got on the train, thinking all the way how she couldn’t take it, couldn’t help but review, she’d have to talk to her family, though they didn’t care much, at least they wouldn’t let a married daughter stay home, for their own sake, they’d send her back.

After sending off Ai Mei, Liu Gang was greatly relieved, the burden on him was lifted.

Back at the unit, he went door to door apologizing, it had to be said, Liu Gang was much smarter than Ai Mei, though framing Gu Junming was a bit much before, after so long, who still remembers?
