Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 282 Crisis
Tang Qiyue's sense of crisis was not without reason.

She tried to analyze why she had trusted the old leader and his group so easily.

Unfortunately, she was very dissatisfied with the results of the analysis.

She herself didn't realize that she was completely intoxicated at that moment.

Looking back now, she realizes that if any link in the chain had gone wrong, she could have been finished.

Even after reviewing the situation, Tang Qiyue still couldn't predict what she could change under these circumstances.

It is said that when you can't change something, you should learn to accept reality, because people still have to live.

After thinking it through, Tang Qiyue stopped dwelling on the matter, since she had other things on her mind that were taking up her energy.

Tang Chunlan was making a fuss about getting a divorce. In the past few years, she has really grown up and realized that she still needs Tang Qiyue to benefit from things on the island. However, as her stepsons have grown up, she has discovered that being a stepmother is not so easy.

"I don't care, you're my sister, can't you side with me?"

Tang Chunlan was furious and accused her younger sister, Tang Qiyue, of inaction.

Tang Qiyue was helping Zhan's mother hang the old vegetables on a rope to dry in the sun, because Zhan's mother was going to make pickled vegetables.

Tang Chunlan came to their door and immediately began to accuse them.

Tang Qiyue glanced at her. "Marriage is a matter between two people. What's the use of you coming to me? Shouldn't you be going to your husband right now?"

Tang Qiyue had no interest in interfering in Tang Chunlan's marriage.

She has to live her own life, not do whatever she wants.

Most importantly, Tang Chunlan's husband is highly capable at work, and even when taking care of talented individuals, he doesn't disregard their opinions.

Zhan's mother also overheard it.

Although I didn't want to get involved in such a distressing matter, considering that she was my daughter-in-law's sister, I still reminded her: "It's true that being a stepmother is difficult, but you can't have children yourself!"

These words seemed to expose Tang Chunlan's grievances, and she covered her face and cried.

Zhan Mu gave Tang Qiyue a meaningful look.

Tang Qiyue shook her head.

She's not good at comforting people.

Tang Chunlan, on the other hand, cried for a long time, but when she realized that no one was paying attention to her and that it was pointless, she gradually stopped crying.

“Auntie, I know I can’t have children, but being a stepmother is too difficult. I’ve been raising those two brothers for several years now, and I’m not even supported by their father. But they only think about their biological mother!”

Tang Chunlan felt wronged.

She wondered how her life had turned out this way.

Looking at Tang Qiyue again, the more you compare, the more upset you become.

What people fear most is comparison; once you compare, you'll discover problems.

Tang Qiyue rolled her eyes at her: "So what if she's thinking about her own mother? After all, she gave birth to them. Besides, is this the only reason you want a divorce?"

Tang Chunlan remained silent.

Of course it's not that simple.

She felt like she had been scammed.

Although she married him because she wanted to escape her predicament, she thought her parents would definitely get rid of her troubles and take her away. However, after three years, she realized that her parents had no chance of rescuing her at all.

She didn't want to spend her whole life being a maid serving her stepson, only to be schemed against by them in the end.

Tang Chunlan was not a magnanimous person to begin with, and after thinking about it for a long time, she still wanted to do something that would be good for herself.

To put it bluntly, she felt that her current husband didn't love her enough, her stepsons didn't respect her enough, and her position in the family was unstable.

"You came here crying like this, your purpose isn't to get a divorce, is it? You just want Zhan Zeyi to talk to your husband and get his back, right?"

Tang Qiyue directly exposed her little scheme. Tang Chunlan blushed.

It wasn't shyness, but rather anger and embarrassment.

But when she met Tang Qiyue's all-knowing gaze, she naturally didn't dare to cause trouble.

"What's wrong? Shouldn't it be like this? Even as compensation for our engagement back then, isn't that enough?"

Tang Chunlan muttered something, which Zhan Mu didn't hear, but Tang Qiyue did.

She couldn't be bothered to argue with Tang Chunlan; she only ever talked about the same things over and over again.

He's not a bad person at heart, just a bit selfish.

Although Zhan's mother didn't hear it, she could guess what Tang Chunlan was thinking. She didn't care whether Zhan Zeye would help Tang Chunlan or not, since she had a daughter-in-law anyway.

It wasn't the right time for her to be there, so she said to Tang Qiyue, "The noodle shop is almost done. I'll go take a look. You two sisters can chat!"

As an elder, it was indeed inconvenient for Zhan's mother to get involved.

As soon as Zhan Mu left, Tang Chunlan looked at Tang Qiyue more directly: "Say something, can't you do it?"

Tang Qiyue shook her head: "No, you have to figure out how to resolve your marriage yourself. And don't even think about fighting with your stepsons. They'll definitely leave home once they're adults. Just find a way to make your husband treat you well!"

Who doesn't understand this principle?
Tang Chunlan rolled her eyes at her.

Unfortunately, the results were not very good.

"Fine, I knew you wouldn't help me. Then let Tang Xiuyuan go!"

They're both older sisters, so surely she can take advantage of her own younger brother?

Tang Qiyue shrugged: "If you can get Tang Xiuyuan to listen to you, then do as you please!"

She doesn't care.

According to blood relations, Tang Xiuyuan is indeed the younger brother of both of them, and they live in the same place. If Tang Xiuyuan wants to help, how can she stop him?

That was exactly what Tang Chunlan wanted to hear. Afraid of having a heart attack if she continued talking to Tang Qiyue, she turned around and left.

Without Tang Chunlan disturbing her, Tang Qiyue quickly hung up the remaining vegetables before washing her hands and preparing to get something to eat.

She had just pulled some radishes and picked some cucumbers, washed the jar, and was about to start processing them when she heard Tang Xiuyuan rush in like a whirlwind.

"Sister, Tang Chunlan said you sent her to find me, is that true?"

Tang Xiuyuan saw the clean cucumbers in the basket, grabbed one, and started eating it.

Zheng Hongjuan also planted some melons and fruits in his yard, but they never tasted as good as those produced in Tang Qiyue's yard, so he would come over to freeload whenever he had time.

This time, he won't be polite to Tang Qiyue either.

Tang Qiyue didn't stop what she was doing and cut all the radishes into strips.

"I didn't ask him to go to you; she just wanted you, her younger brother, to do something!"

With the tacit understanding between siblings over the years, Tang Qiyue was well aware of Tang Xiuyuan's accusations and immediately explained the situation.

Tang Xiuyuan clicked his tongue and crunched the cucumber loudly.

"She's quite shrewd. If it weren't for the fact that she's been relatively well-behaved these past few years, I wouldn't even want to talk to her!"

In recent years, Tang Xiuyuan has also matured.

He's not the same naive young man he was a few years ago. He won't take all the grievances against the Tang family at once; instead, he understands who he needs to target.

"Your brother-in-law can't show up directly, given his awkward position. Why don't you go and ask him? Tang Chunlan may have a bad temper, but she's not completely evil!"

Tang Qiyue ultimately helped Tang Chunlan.

Although Tang Xiuyuan was unwilling, he somehow agreed.
