PFC Chapter 124 The Triumphant Li Wanhua
Chapter 124 The Triumphant Li Wanhua
Since Li Zhangqing personally came to visit, neither he nor Jiang Fang and her daughter have spent much time in front of Li Wanqing anymore.
In early November, Li Wanqing received the package that He Mei had sent her.
Besides her and Nuonuo's original items, He Mei also put in some local specialties from Shou County.
Li Wanqing also prepared some specialties from Sichuan Province, as well as mushrooms that she had picked and dried recently.
As the days went by, Li Wanqing began to focus on the choir.
Because around the middle of the month, the choir will be having its first performance since its formation.
After a busy week, she learned that Wang Xiumei had returned when she chatted with Guo Chunxiang and others on the weekend.
I heard that she came back to divorce Lao Xu so as not to implicate the children.
Now, Old Xu, a grown man, is struggling to support three children, which is quite pitiful for him in the military region.
Although Lao Xu has been demoted, he still has the skills.
Without Wang Xiumei's burden, he will rise again one day.
So for a while, many aunties wanted to introduce new potential partners to Lao Xu, but he didn't agree to any of them.
To Li Wanqing's surprise, Li Wanhua was among the people who had contact with Lao Xu.
She knew how high Li Wanhua's standards were.
She's probably been forced into this situation to be interested in a divorced older man with three children.
"What's the deal with your fake sister?" Guo Chunxiang asked curiously.
Old Xu is a decent person, but he's getting on in years, and he's been married with three children.
Li Wanqing's older sister is in the prime of her life, so why would she fall for him?
Li Wanqing smiled slightly and said nonchalantly, "I guess we just hit it off."
Whether she can achieve her goal is unclear.
On November 20, the military region's performance to entertain the troops began.
Besides the usual model operas, the most anticipated performance is by the children's choir.
After the performing arts troupe finished their dance performance of Azalea, the choir immediately followed with their rendition of the Red Star Song.
Because of the movie's popularity, many people sang along during the performance.
The scene was very lively.
The next day, Deng Hongmei told Li Wanqing that Li Wanhua and Lao Xu's marriage application had been approved.
However, since it was her second marriage, she didn't intend to hold a wedding banquet.
It seems the newlyweds even had a fight because of this.
Li Wanqing listened and then let it go, not taking it to heart.
Unexpectedly, when she finally took her daughter out for a stroll, she bumped into Li Wanhua, who looked smug.
Behind her followed a little boy, Wang Xiumei's youngest daughter.
“Wanqing, we’ll both be in the same military region from now on, so we sisters need to look after each other.”
Li Wanhua's expression was full of arrogance; Lao Xu's qualifications were no match for Cheng Baichuan's.
But he's still an officer; with a little effort, promotion shouldn't be a problem.
Most importantly, this way, she wouldn't have to go to the Northwest with her parents.
Li Wanqing glanced at her indifferently, "We're not sisters, and we'll just be strangers from now on."
Li Wanhua didn't mind her cold attitude at all; after all, she had finally achieved her goal.
"Auntie, I want candy too!" The little girl next to Li Wanhua tugged at her clothes and pointed at the candy in Nuonuo's hand.
Li Wanhua frowned. How could this child be so unruly!
She doesn't have much money on her right now, and she can't bear to spend money on things for a burden like her.
Li Wanhua glanced at Nuonuo, looking arrogant and haughty.
"You're the younger sister, so show courtesy to your older sister and share the candy with her!"
Upon hearing this, Nuonuo immediately put the candy into her bag and turned to hide behind her mother.
Li Wanqing looked at Li Wanhua with a half-smile, "My child doesn't have much candy either, you should buy some for your child yourself!"
They want to divide things right away? Do they really think they're so great?
Li Wanhua definitely didn't want to spend her own money. "It's just a piece of candy. The two families' children are practically cousins. Don't be so stingy!"
Li Wanqing said calmly, "Sorry, my family is just stingy!"
"Moreover, we are not related by blood, so they are even less likely to be cousins."
Li Wanqing took Nuonuo's hand and left, showing no respect to Li Wanhua whatsoever.
Looking at the onlookers' stares, Li Wanhua felt utterly embarrassed.
"Auntie! I want candy!" Xu Xiaoya tugged at her sleeve impatiently. "If you don't buy it for me, I'll tell Dad."
Li Wanhua's scalp tightened, and she forced a stiff smile as she reassured him, "Okay, okay, Auntie will take you to buy it."
Although she married Lao Xu, the Xu family didn't trust her at all.
If that brat says anything out of line, she'll have a hard time.
She can try to please them now, but once she has the baby, she won't want any of these three burdens.
Li Wanqing and her daughter returned shortly after leaving. Cheng Baichuan asked, puzzled, "What happened? Weren't you going out for a stroll?"
"I ran into someone I didn't want to see, so I came back because I wasn't in the mood," Li Wanqing said, looking depressed.
Cheng Baichuan thought for a moment and understood what she meant. "It's okay, just bear with it and you won't see her again."
Li Wanqing raised an eyebrow slightly, looking curious. "What do you mean by that?"
Cheng Baichuan smiled and said, "Li Zhangqing is going to the Northwest. Besides Jiang Kai, Lao Xu volunteered to be transferred there."
Li Wanqing's eyes lit up. "Li Wanhua doesn't know about this. Could Old Xu be keeping it from her?"
"Old Xu said he wanted to give his new wife a surprise," Cheng Baichuan said with a smile.
Li Wanqing pursed her lips, trying hard to suppress her laughter; this was probably going to turn into a shock!
Li Wanqing immediately felt refreshed. "When are they leaving?"
"Five days later, early in the morning!" This was no secret, so Cheng Baichuan didn't hide it.
Li Wanqing was thinking to herself that she definitely had to go see the play.
Thinking back to Li Wanhua's smug expression just now, I wonder if she will be able to keep it up then.
Time flies, and five days have passed quickly.
Li Wanhua finally learned about the so-called surprise the night before her departure.
I heard that there were sounds of arguing and crying coming from the Xu family late at night.
The next morning, Li Wanqing got up very early.
When they arrived near the Xu family's residence, they saw Li Wanhua carrying a leather suitcase, followed by three children carrying bundles.
The moment Li Wanhua saw Li Wanqing, a surge of hatred flashed in her eyes.
"Why wasn't it you who went to the Northwest?"
Even if Lao Xu said that he would get promoted and have more room for advancement if he went to the Northwest,
But she had no desire to go to the Northwest!
If she had known this would happen, why did she rush to marry an old man who was divorced and had three children?
Li Wanqing smiled faintly, "Perhaps God thinks you are more like his daughter! Isn't this giving you a chance to fulfill your filial duty?"
Li Wanhua wanted to say something more, but the people the military region had arranged to pick them up had already arrived.
Even if she was unwilling, she couldn't afford to lose face in front of others!
