She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 846 - 790: Famine Era 31 (First Update)

"The three sons of the Cao Family, their parents fell ill and were hospitalized, and they borrowed a lot of money. His salary had to be used to pay off debts every month, leaving only a little for their living expenses. So now, they’re not making ends meet, robbing Peter to pay Paul, it’s very difficult. The Cao Family’s Sister-in-law is also quite sloppy, nobody likes her, and the children, who are already in their teens, still haven’t had any schooling yet!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

The sense of relief in Tong Zhan’s words was almost too obvious. In fact, around the times of liberation, there was indeed a batch of soldiers who abandoned their first wives and married new ones. She estimated that Commander Cao’s family situation was also related to the parental mandate of those times. Back then, marrying a wife to leave an heir was already very difficult, where would one have the luxury to choose well?

Moreover, even if this woman was not good, she still bore him three sons and took care of his parents until their end. For this reason alone, he couldn’t despise her.

No matter what outsiders said, no matter how they disdained it, Cao Qiang had to endure. If he couldn’t bear it first and divorced his wife, he might as well abandon his sons too and have some new, better-quality children. After all, what kind of mother produces what kind of son, and with a wife like Cao Qiang’s, you know what situation their sons are in.

Therefore, while Cao Qiang might receive sympathy from these colleagues, the Cao Family’s Sister-in-law would not garner the sympathy of women.

Because everyone would feel that she deserved it.

Who told her to like taking advantage so much?

She’s lost face entirely, with no dignity or pride left, laughed at wherever she goes. What man could stand this?

But after calming down, Ye Huan felt pity for her, because her love for taking advantage was established on the basis of a lack of clothing and food.

If the family had means, she wouldn’t have to lower herself to ask for it.

Of course, there might be exceptions. Those lacking security from childhood, even if they have it at home, may still reach out to others. It’s a habit, also an instinct, a character formed by their original family.

Then she let it go, "Is there no primary school here?"

"Not yet, very few have the qualifications to follow the military. Maybe there will be in the future, but not now."

Recalling the harsh surrounding environment, it might take another fifty or sixty years to develop here, like the so-called seventh or eighth ring of Beijing.

Ye Huan sighed, "Then why stay here? It’s better to go home and farm, at least you have food to eat, and nearby schools can be found. Even if conditions are poor, it’s better than wasting away here. Now the whole family relies on Cao Qiang alone, he won’t be able to hold on much longer."

"Not just sooner or later, he already can’t hold on. He’s already filed for a leave, leaving on December 20th to send his wife and three kids back."

Compared to being unattended by a woman, he prefers to enjoy some peace and quiet alone, right?

Men can be unbelievably realistic at times. These kids haven’t even followed him for a day, having been with their mother since birth, and yet he can’t bear it.

Living, life, marriage – it’s probably the most challenging partnership, isn’t it?

He provided just one sperm, and for all this, isn’t it more than poignant?

If it were her, she surely couldn’t bear such a life of neglect and abandonment.

Humans can be so contradictory, on one side thinking she’s useless staying here, better off earning a living back home, while on the other feeling it’s a pity she’s abandoned, but what can she do? At most, as a bystander, she can analyze it, but she can’t truly experience her bittersweet struggle.

When it comes to matters of yes or no, career prospects, men can be even more ruthless.

"Can Cao Qiang read? Is there any future for him?"

Tong Zhan nodded, "Those at battalion level and above have attended literacy classes and passed certain fundamental assessments, or else they can’t hope for promotion. His combat abilities are strong, he’s a man of courage, with numerous war honors. It’s just that his wife can’t add points for him, only hold him back. For the sake of their family’s hope, he can only do this."

Ha, it sounds so honorable, but the irony is, this is reality, the unavoidable reality.

Women all hope for their men to achieve great success, yet as they soar and succeed, their horizons open, if you’re still stuck in place, then just brace yourself for abandonment, hasn’t this been happening since ancient times?

This is why women must be independent and rigorously self-disciplined. You can neglect yourself, but when you are abandoned in the future, don’t blame men’s coldness. Their vistas widened, but you remained the same oaf. Were it you, how would you choose?
