The wife took the baby to live with the military commander, and the commander washed diapers every d

Shen Jingyue knew she couldn't possibly get that much; eighty yuan was within her expectations.

She thought for a moment and then said to the brigade leader, "Then I'll just give you eighty yuan for your sake, but she has to take it out immediately. Also, she has to take out my marriage certificate with Qin Xiang'an, as well as my household registration book and graduation certificate."

Qin's mother was worried that she would run away to the army, so she put away her marriage certificate, household registration book and graduation certificate with Qin Xiang'an.

"Qin Dafu, Li Dahua, did you hear that? Hurry up and get it!"

Qin Dafu felt that eighty yuan was too much, as he still had two sons who were not yet married.

He wanted to ask for less, but a look from the captain scared him away.

Even Qin's mother, Li Dahua, who was still about to throw a tantrum, was scared back by the captain's glare.

Moreover, her hand was in so much pain that she couldn't bear it anymore.

Finally, Qin Dafu went inside and took out eighty yuan, along with Shen Jingyue and Qin Xiang'an's marriage certificate, Shen Jingyue's household registration book, and her graduation certificate.

He hesitated, his heart aching with worry over so much money.

The captain didn't care about anything else and took the money, marriage certificate, household registration book, and graduation certificate directly from his hand.

Then he counted the money and items, checked the marriage certificate, household registration book, and graduation certificate, and handed them to Shen Jingyue after confirming that everything was in order.

Shen Jingyue took the money, counted it again, and then checked her marriage certificate, household registration book, and graduation certificate to make sure they were all hers before she felt relieved.

She thanked the captain, saying gratefully, "Thank you, captain."

"Keep the money safe, but you're going to divide the family property. How do you plan to divide it?"

"This house belongs to us. She wanted to separate from the family and took so much money, so of course she should move out."

They still want a share of their property? No way.

Shen Jingyue didn't want their things either. Having gotten what she wanted, she was too lazy to argue with them.

"Captain, I don't need the things, but I want them to write a family division document, stating in black and white that our four branches have been separated."

To avoid having to argue with them later.

"If you don't want anything, where will you live, and what will you eat and drink?"

The captain was surprised that she didn't want anything; was she stupid?

"I've decided to bring my baby with me to the military base. Qin Xiang'an's military rank allows him to accompany his unit. I'm going to find him."

"But you're heavily pregnant. Even if you're going, you have to give birth first. What if something happens on the way?"

When the captain's wife heard that she was going to join the army, she was a little worried when she saw that she was pregnant.

"It's okay, I'll take good care of myself." Shen Jingyue had already made up her mind.

Seeing that she had already made up her mind, the captain didn't try to persuade her any further. "Alright, I can write this for you."

The brigade leader had someone bring paper and pen and wrote out the document for dividing the family property. It also stated that five yuan would be given to Qin's father and mother every month.

Qin's father was a little unhappy that the amount was so small, but when the captain gave him a look, he immediately became like a quail and dared not say another word.

Two copies of the family division document were made, with the brigade leader acting as witness. The names were written on the documents, and the fingerprints were affixed, which marked the complete separation of the family.

After taking her family division documents, Shen Jingyue also asked the brigade leader to write her a letter of introduction.

She's leaving today.

"Are you in such a hurry to leave now?" The captain hadn't expected her to be in such a rush.

"Captain, now that I've separated from the family, I've already made my plans."

The brigade leader sighed, "Alright, pack your things and come with me to the brigade headquarters. I'll have Old Liu take you to the county in an oxcart to catch a bus."

They only have a train station in the city. If you want to take the train, you have to take a bus from the county to the city and then buy a ticket at the train station.

"I might need to trouble the captain for another favor."

"What kind of help?"

Then they saw Shen Jingyue walk straight into Qin Xiaolian's room.

Qin Xiaolian instantly guessed what was going on, "What are you trying to do?"

With her face swollen like a pig's head and her speech slurred, she tried to stop Shen Jingyue.

Shen Jingyue swung the kitchen knife in her hand, startling Qin Xiaolian so much that she fell to the ground with a thud, crying out, "Mahhhhh..."

"What are you trying to do? Now that everything is as you wish, do you still want to kill someone?" Qin's father quickly came over.

"I'm not doing anything else; all I want to do now is take back what's mine."

"If you dare to stop me, don't blame my cleaver for being indiscriminate."

Shen Jingyue brandished her kitchen knife and went into Qin Xiaolian's room, where she found all her clothes, shoes, and other belongings.

Now she's wearing clothes covered in patches, looking no different from a beggar.

If Qin Xiaolian hadn't taken all her clothes, she wouldn't be dressed like this.

She went inside and searched everywhere, finding all her clothes and shoes, and put them away in the suitcase she had used when she was a sent-down youth in the countryside.

She cut up all the things she couldn't take with her, like the blankets, with scissors, making sure Qin Xiaolian didn't get a single one.

Qin Xiaolian's eyes turned venomous as she watched her carry out the leather suitcase she liked.

"Captain, she's gone too far! Those things all belong to Xiaolian."

Qin's mother was surprised that she had actually taken back the things that Xiaolian had wanted to take before.

Xiaolian especially liked that leather suitcase, and even said she would take it to her husband's family after she got married.

If her hand hadn't been in so much pain, and if that wretched woman hadn't been holding a kitchen knife, Qin's mother would definitely have snatched the things back.

The captain also didn't understand Shen Jingyue's actions.

"Fourth son's wife, what's going on?"

"Captain, these are all my things. This box is what I brought with me when I went to the countryside. It's full of clothes and shoes that I brought with me when I went to the countryside."

"A few days after I married into the family, Qin Xiaolian moved all my belongings into her room."

"They insist that since I married into this family, everything belongs to them. Now that we've separated, there's nothing wrong with me taking back my own things, right?"

Shen Jingyue had no intention of wearing the things that Qin Xiaolian had used. The reason she took them back was that she didn't want to give them to Qin Xiaolian.

The brigade leader also recognized that it was indeed her suitcase. He remembered that on the day they went to the countryside as educated youth, she was the only one carrying a leather suitcase.

"Since it's yours, then there's no problem."

"Why? I did it!" Qin Xiaolian, with her pig-headed face, cried.

"Really? Should I ask one of the other educated youths I shared a room with before to help me recognize them? I did live in the educated youth settlement before, so everyone should remember the clothes I wore back then."

"That's right, those were all given to Xiaolian by yourself." Qin's mother said without blinking.

Once they've decided that it was given to them by her, she won't be able to take it away.

"Really? You think I'm out of my mind, not wearing my own nice clothes but wearing these tattered clothes full of patches?"

"If you hadn't thought I was easy to bully and taken all my things, I wouldn't be dressed like this now."

Qin Xiaolian's eyes were like they were coated with poison; she wished she could beat this little bitch to death.
