  After knowing that she and Sun Guoming were an unmarried couple, he even entangled himself with another woman, who was his future sister-in-law. The secretary’s daughter felt hurt and disgusted. She insisted on backing out from the marriage without a word.

  Backing out from the marriage would worsen her reputation. However, if she continued to be with such a man, she was afraid that she would lose more face then if Sun Guoming created more trouble in the future and did something more embarrassing.

  The secretary’s family moved so quickly that before Mother Sun and Sun Guoming could think of ways to salvage the situation, the dowry they had sent to the secretary’s family before was all returned. “In the future, Sun Guoming has nothing to do with our Nier. It’s none of their business who they choose to marry. Also, I warn you. We have already backed out from the marriage. Everything that belonged to you is already here. If anyone dares to say that you are related to our Nier or badmouth her, don’t blame me for being rude!”

  Specify terms clearly at first and use a good deal of courtesy later.

  Mother Sun was so perverse that she said Sun Guoming’s child was Sun Guohong’s. When Sun Guohong wasn’t at home, she even held Sun Guohong’s and Yanyan’s wedding banquet secretly, just like how it was that year when Sun Guohong got engaged.

  How was this a birth mother? Even a bandit wasn’t as formidable as Mother Sun.

  \r \r \r

  Mother Sun had already treated her birth son this way. Would the secretary expect Mother Sun to show mercy to his daughter? The secretary knew it clearly in his heart what Mother Sun was up to.

  He didn’t have a son. Even if Nier didn’t get engaged with Sun Guoming, on account of Sun Guohong, he had wondered if he should give Sun Guoming a chance. After that, the two of them would become in-laws. The secretary no longer had other thoughts about Sun Guoming. Mother Sun had also set her sights on this. It was a good phenomenon for both families to be working together.

  However, it was definitely impossible for the secretary to help Sun Guoming now. Moreover, he had to guard against Mother Sun from doing shameless things, ruining his daughter’s reputation, and forcing his daughter to get married to Sun Guoming.

  The secretary smiled coldly. It was already the 21st century now. To put it bluntly, if Sun Guoming dared to force himself on his Nier, he would sue Sun Guoming and make him go to jail! He had already sorted out his thoughts even in this aspect. What other ways could Mother Sun and Sun Guoming come up with to force him to commit a crime?

  “In-law, no. It’s really a misunderstanding. Don’t listen to Guohong’s nonsense. Who else could the child in Yanyan’s stomach be if not his? You can’t let Guoming take the rap for Guohong. Guohong was the one who created this trouble. You have to know that Guoming is about to become your son-in-law soon. Why didn’t you believe Guoming? Why believe the words of an outsider like Guohong?” Mother Sun was about to cry. This was such a good marriage.

  One had to be realistic. It was already enough that Guoming could be the village secretary. However, without a powerful father-in-law, Guoming’s plans of being a secretary could be considered to be completely ruined.

  No. Absolutely no. She couldn’t let Guoming’s bright future be ruined just like that. “Secretary, can you let me explain this to you?”

  “No!” The secretary fell out with her. “I’ve said it before. I don’t care which son of yours is the father of the child your daughter-in-law is pregnant with. This is your family’s affair. You just need to know it yourself. I’m just an outsider. Why do I want to know so much? Don’t call me in-law anymore. Our family will not agree to this.”

  Without a doubt, the marriage between Sun Guoming and the secretary’s daughter was unsuccessful. Mother Sun didn’t have the ability to turn the tide.

  The secretary was willing to let his daughter marry Sun Guoming because he had a successful brother, Sun Guohong. Now that he knew that Sun Guoming had done something sorry to Sun Guohong, as a man, the secretary understood that the relationship between the two men would be broken.

  No one would have been able to accept such a matter.

  With a brother like Sun Guoming and a mother like Mother Sun, Sun Guohong was really unlucky.

  The secretary was right. Ever since that incident, Sun Guohong no longer contacted anyone from the Sun family. That was not it. In the past, Sun Guohong would not keep a single cent of the allowance he earned in the army. Instead, he would send all of it back to Mother Sun. With this amount of money, Mother Sun was able to build a three-story building for Sun Guoming in the village.

  Sun Guohong no longer sent any allowance home. Sun Guoming’s work was easy and he didn’t earn a lot of money. He didn’t have enough money to spend on himself, let alone providing for the family. The Sun family’s days became difficult. It really wasn’t easy to lead a life without money.

  Without Sun Guohong’s allowance, the Sun family immediately had a lot of difficulties to cope with. With everything happening at once, Mother Sun, who was in a sorry plight, threw a huge tantrum. She cursed and swore at Sun Guohong before contacting him in the army. She wanted to urge Sun Guohong to send money back home quickly. Not a single cent could be missed from the two months that he didn’t send back any money.

  There were a lot of expenses. Now, they had to feed Yanyan as well. Yanyan was Sun Guohong’s wife. The son Yanyan was pregnant with didn’t belong to Sun Guohong. If Sun Guohong didn’t provide for this family, then who would?

  Mother Sun thought of a hundred reasons that could force Sun Guohong to resend allowance to her in her heart. However, they weren’t as powerful as the words the people in the army told her. “Oh, you’re looking for Commander Sun? How are you related to him? Oh, it’s auntie. That’s strange. Commander Sun is no longer a soldier. He left the army two months ago. Hasn’t he returned home?” Even if he was walking, he should have walked home by now, right?

  “What? He’s no longer a soldier? How could that be? Could it be that the army no longer wants him now that he has suffered some injuries?” Mother Sun was shocked. “How can the army do something like this? Didn’t he get injured because of you? His injuries have recovered and they don’t affect his movement now. On what basis do you not want him anymore and chased him out of the army?”

  The monthly allowance that the country gave to its soldiers was quite a huge amount. It was enough to let her build a building in her hometown. Most importantly, Sun Guohong stayed in the army every day. The army had provided for all his needs. Even if he had money, there was nowhere for him to spend. As such, Sun Guohong sent all his monthly allowance back home to her.

  Thus, Mother Sun was really reluctant to lose the money the army provided. If it was possible, she really hoped that Sun Guohong would be a solider forever. That way, the money which Sun Guohong had nowhere to spend on could all be given to Sun Guoming and provide him for life.

  The other party could neither laugh nor cry. He didn’t explain much to Mother Sun either. “I think you’re mistaken. Commander Sun was the one who wanted to leave. It’s naturally impossible for the army not to want Commander Sun. After all, Commander Sun is a very outstanding soldier.”
