Quick Transmigration Hoarding: My Selfishness Leads to a Killing Frenzy

Chapter 337 Military Wives in Historical Fiction 1

In the winter of 1968, the river water was icy cold, but Yan Nier still braved the biting wind to go to the river to wash clothes.

The roads were particularly slippery in winter, and she accidentally fell into the river.

The river was not frozen at this time, and the icy water instantly submerged her. She struggled in the water, but gradually lost her strength.

Just when Yan Nier thought she was about to die, Sun Jianmin, who was visiting his family, happened to pass by and rescued her. This rescue tightly linked their fates together.

Sun Jianmin gave her some basic first aid and then carried her back to the Yan family home, where she was naturally seen by many people along the way.

In that feudal era, hugging and cuddling was considered a very big deal.

The villagers don't care whether you're saving someone or not, or how thick your winter clothes are. If you hugged or touched a girl, you're responsible.

Otherwise, if the girl's reputation is ruined, she won't be able to get married.

Yan Nier is twenty years old this year. After graduating from high school, she couldn't find a job in the city, so she could only go back to the countryside and do some housework at home.

Yan's mother had a son and a daughter, Yan Ni'er and her brother Yan Dachun. Her brother was three years older than her and married Liu Meilan from the next village. The family lived a relatively harmonious life.

In the countryside, Yan Ni'er was of marriageable age and had been asked about marriage prospects by many families.

However, the strict mother didn't approve of any of them. She was a shrewd old lady who knew her daughter was educated and couldn't let her marry a country bumpkin. She wanted her daughter to live a good life in the city.

As a result, with the picky nature of the family, Yan Ni'er's marriage was delayed because the countrywoman, Mother Yan, didn't approve of her, and the city people didn't approve of her family either.

This time, his reputation was ruined by rumors, so Yan's mother had no choice but to rely on Sun Jianmin, who had saved her, and make him marry her daughter.

Sun Jianmin is 28 years old this year. He served in the army in his early years and is now a company commander. At his age, it is natural that he got married early.

Just a year ago, his wife fell ill and died, leaving behind three children (two sons and one daughter), and a fifty-year-old mother. There was no one else in the family.

During his recent visit home, he received a letter from his mother urging him to come home for arranged marriages. After all, with three children in the family, his mother was powerless to help him find a wife.

Now that's settled, one family wanted to get married and the other wanted to marry off their daughter, so the two families were brought together, and Yan Ni'er married into the other family.

The Sun family gave fifty yuan as a betrothal gift, which made the strict mother exclaim that she had made the right choice in marrying her daughter off, as she was afraid that her good daughter would end up unsuccessful in her hands.

Marrying a soldier, especially a company commander, makes her feel proud. If Yan Ni'er goes to live with him in the army and has her own child, she'll have no worries about having a good life.

In this era, people of all ages and genders have a natural sense of awe towards soldiers.

In addition, the conditions in the military are good. Not only do they receive a monthly allowance, but they also don't have to work in the fields. Sun Jianmin's conditions would be considered top-notch in the marriage market.

Apart from three burdens.

Yan Nier wasn't one to endure hardship. She married Sun Jianmin because she was attracted to his circumstances and wanted to go with him to the army.

However, she waited and waited, spending more than a decade in Sun Jianmin's promises, but in the end, she still didn't get the life she wanted.

After marrying Sun Jianmin, Yan Nier was determined to go to the army with him. He always said to wait a little longer, wait a little longer, and that he would take her and the children to the army after he was promoted to battalion commander.

Yan Nier stayed in the countryside to take care of his elderly mother, look after his children, and even gave birth to a son for him.

From an innocent and carefree girl, she has been worn down by life into a middle-aged woman with a weathered face.

As time went on, once she was able to join the military, she would still be needed for all sorts of household chores, such as what would happen to her mother-in-law and the children?

Are all these people going to join the military? Will Sun Jianmin be able to support them all in the army?

In the countryside, at least you can farm and earn work points, but once you get to the army, you really become an idle person.

Under Sun Jianmin's repeated manipulation, Yan Nier, a girl who was somewhat vain, was transformed into a down-to-earth rural woman.

Because of her children, because of her family, all of this trapped her.

Fortunately, Sun Jianmin sends two-thirds of his allowance back home every month to support his family.

Her mother-in-law was easy to get along with, her stepsons were obedient, and she also had her own children. As time went by, Yan Nier had no complaints.

More than a decade has passed. When Sun Jianmin was promoted from company commander to regimental commander, his children had all grown up and were ready to start their own families.

Yan Nier thought her good days had finally arrived, but Sun Jianmin proposed a divorce.

One is a regimental commander in the army, and the other is a middle-aged woman who farms at home year-round and takes care of her mother-in-law and children. The difference between the two is obvious.

Sun Jianmin's reason was that there was no emotional foundation between the two, and they had been just making do for so many years. Now he wanted to live for himself for once.

Yan Nier was both angry and annoyed. She had dedicated her youth to this family, only to be rewarded with this ending.

But what could she do? In those days, soldiers held a high status, and she was powerless to resist.

Although she was eight years younger than Sun Jianmin, she looked more than ten years older than him compared to the triumphant Sun Jianmin.

After numerous arguments and fights, their fifteen-year marriage finally came to an end in 1983. The two didn't even have a divorce certificate because they had never actually registered their marriage.

She had worked hard to take care of her mother-in-law and stepson for many years, but not one of them spoke up for her; they all remained silent.

The things they said seemed to mock the woman's foolishness.

Sun's mother said, "My dear girl, marrying you is the greatest blessing Jianmin has ever received. You are a good person, and I'm so sorry for all the trouble you've had. It's all my fault for being so useless and a burden to you all. Don't worry, I will make sure Jianmin treats you well."

The stepchildren said, "Mom, you are our mother. We love you more than Dad. Thank you for always treating us like your own children. Don't worry, we will definitely take care of you in your old age."

Every word I uttered back then is still vivid in my mind.

When Sun Jianmin insisted on divorcing her, not a single person stood up for her.

Her fifteen years of dedication only earned her a thousand yuan in compensation, and she took her child with her.

Yan Nier took the child and slunk back to the Yan family home.

My brother and sister-in-law are honest people, so they didn't say anything. But it's inevitable that divorced women will be gossiped about.

Yan Nier has had her edges smoothed out by life. She is no longer the girl who once longed for a good life.

There is no other way but to silently shed tears in the darkness and endure all of this.

The year after the divorce, Sun Jianmin returned home for the Chinese New Year, but he didn't come back alone; he brought his wife and children with him.

A child around ten years old.

It turns out that Sun Jianmin had already remarried while in the army, marrying the daughter of a high-ranking officer. The only one kept in the dark was her; Sun's mother had known all along.

She was furious and rushed up to Sun Jianmin to confront him.

Sun Jianmin only said that he was forced into marriage in the first place, and that he just met a woman who understood him better and loved him more. What did he do wrong?

Yan Nier naturally couldn't swallow this insult. She could accept divorce, but she couldn't bear being treated like a fool and manipulated for so many years.

What is she?

She was just a nanny who took care of his family, but he already had a new lover in his arms. Who cared about her sacrifices?

In a fit of anger, she also became angry.

A letter of complaint was sent to the military.

Unfortunately, due to the protection of officials, the matter was suppressed. How could an ordinary rural woman who had never even left her home fight against such a high-ranking official?

This is the original owner's life. She and her son were poor and destitute, while the unfaithful man and his family rose through the ranks and became wealthy, living a life of luxury.
