Chapter 95 Heartbroken
Therefore, Vice General Cheng did not know what kind of life Mrs. Cheng lived at home, and the couple rarely had opportunities to communicate.
However, Vice General Cheng still had Mrs. Cheng in his heart.
When Deputy General Cheng brought his family over, he saw that his wife was not looking well, she was thin, her face was pale, and she looked malnourished, so he felt distressed and gave her a lot of supplements to replenish her body.
But what he didn't know was that those supplements had gone into the stomachs of his mother, his sister-in-law, and his sister.
Therefore, when his wife fainted and the doctor said it was caused by overwork and malnutrition, he couldn't believe it.
Overworked?
We are not in the countryside now, and our family does not farm, so how can we be overworked?
And, what, malnutrition?
Tsk, stop joking.
In the past two months, he has brought back bird's nests, ginseng, brown sugar and other things that women need to replenish their bodies, hoping to make her fat and white so that he can have a baby for him.
He didn't come back often, and he saw that his wife's complexion was getting worse every time, but he thought it was because his wife was not accustomed to the local environment that she was like that.
Unexpectedly...
After the doctor left, under Deputy General Cheng's first and second trial, his youngest sister told him about the treatment Mrs. Cheng received at home, and also leaked the story of Mrs. Cheng's miscarriage.
What is most distressing for a man is that he cannot give his wife a good life, and makes her suffer with him and make her suffer.
In the past, when he was at war, he didn't have the ability to take care of his wife at home, so he stopped talking. But now he has the ability, and he can also take care of a large family to live a good life. He no longer has to plant a few acres of fields in the countryside as he used to do, and rely on the sky for food when he is full or hungry.
However, his family is living a good life. His mother, sister, eldest brother, sister-in-law, nephews, and nieces are enjoying the food and drink at home every day. They also wear new clothes, silver hairpins, and silver bracelets. But ...but her wife suffered alone at home, becoming the maid and old woman of a family of more than ten people, wearing the old clothes of her sister and sister-in-law, and always wearing the same wooden hairpin on her head.
One can imagine how Vice General Cheng felt at that time.
To say how close Deputy Cheng will be to Aunt Cheng, let alone say, there is not much.
Since he was a child, Vice General Cheng and Brother Cheng have been treated differently by Aunt Cheng. It is impossible to say that he has a balanced heart and has no complaints. Countless times, he has also expected his mother to treat him like her eldest brother. He works hard. Live and be obedient, even when his mother asked him to replace his elder brother in the battlefield, he agreed without saying a word.
He did all this just to get his mother to like him and like him as much as his eldest brother.
But...he was wrong.
He became a member of a thousand households and went home happily to take out his family, thinking that his mother would change her partiality towards her two sons if she saw that he was making a difference.
But he didn't expect that his mother was not only partial to her eldest brother, but also partial to her two daughters-in-law.
The money he earned with so much hard work was used to make jewelry and buy new clothes for his sister-in-law and sisters, but his wife was not as well-dressed as a country woman. Moreover, at home, she has to wait on her three nephews and nieces to wash their faces, wash their feet, eat, dress, etc. These are things that a sister-in-law should do as a biological mother.
Everyone in the Cheng family simply treated his wife like a maid.
