Mrs. Quinn's expression changed instantly.Mr. Quinn and Tom seized the moment to recount my years of devotion to Tom."My dear, I was wrong earlier. I didn't realize how deeply you cared for Tom. I misjudged you."She then took Robert into her arms, doting on him like any grandmother would.Living in the military compound, I soon reached my due date.This time, with the Quinn family's support, I was admitted to the base hospital early to prepare for the birth.Despite carrying triplets, with my naturally fertile body, the delivery went smoothly.The Quinn family was deeply moved.I had two boys and a girl this time. Commander Quinn and Tom were particularly fond of my little daughter.This family valued daughters as much as, if not more than, sons.During my postpartum recovery, I was given all sorts of nutritional supplements.Tom kept his promise to make it up to me.With the Quinns' support, my sister began studying accounting. She was smart; she just never had the oppo
The matchmaker's shrill voice pierced through our dilapidated house."Mr. Johnson, Mary's leg is disabled! She can't do much farm work. Sarah is not only pretty but also finished middle school. She's perfect for you."Mark Johnson gave me a cold glance and sneered, "What use is education for a girl? I need to marry someone like Mary who can bring good fortune and bear sons to carry on the family name."I stood by the bed, watching coldly, my hands clenched into fists to stop them from shaking. I wanted nothing more than to beat Mark Johnson to death right there.I knew he had also been reborn.In our previous life, Mark had naturally married me, the prettier one, while my sister married the poorest farmer in the village.At first, the Johnsons doted on me, their beautiful and educated daughter-in-law.But then my sister gave birth to five sons in a row. Her husband's family went from barely scraping by to becoming the most prosperous in the village. My sister's sons all became c
In my previous life, when we went to the city to buy medicine, Mark took the money to enjoy himself, abandoning me on the city streets. Tom Quinn passed by in a military vehicle and recognized me.Only then did I learn that the usually low-key Tom was actually the son of a military commander!After returning to the city, he passed the college entrance exam and became a university professor.Tom said that when he first came to our village, I had given him a corn bun. He liked me from that moment, but felt unworthy of me then. He never imagined I would be unhappy in my marriage.He said he would use his connections to help me get a divorce.But before I could hear back from Tom, I was beaten to death by a drunken Mark that very night.Now, the villagers were all saying what a pity it was that someone as outstanding as me couldn't find a good match.The college entrance exams hadn't been reinstated yet. Tom couldn't do farm work, and his family had long since fallen from grace. Eve
Mark rushed into the room, shouting that his son had been switched."Mary and Sarah gave birth at the same time. Did you mix up the babies? Mine is a boy!"Mrs. Lee's daughter-in-law hurried to push Mark out: "Get out quickly, it's bad luck for men to enter during childbirth! Don't worry, there's no mistake. Your Mary gave birth first, Sarah hasn't delivered yet! Go see your wife."Hearing Mark's yelling, I suddenly felt a surge of energy, followed by another baby's cry.Mrs. Lee shouted: "It's born, it's a boy! Where's Sarah's husband? Come take the baby!"Tom came to me holding our son, tears falling as he looked at me with concern."Sarah, I'm a father! Thank you for your hard work."Before I could say anything, we heard my sister crying next door."You can't control whether it's a boy or girl. The radio said it's not just about the woman, it's also about the man..."Mark naturally didn't want to believe this. In his mind, having children was solely the woman's responsibili
"Sis? Why are you here?"It was my sister Mary. She had just hit Mark on the head with a shovel from behind, knocking him out.My sister hugged me, crying: "Little sister, I can't go on living. I was planning to jump into the well tonight, but I saw Mark sneaking towards your house and got worried, so I came to check."Although my sister had a difficult personality and often said unpleasant things, she was still my sister. How could we truly be enemies?I held my sister's hand and advised her: "Just hang on a little longer. Good days are coming soon. You should divorce Mark, but don't seek death."This time, my sister chose to listen to me.I took Robert and followed my sister back to the Johnson's house. We took Victoria and Grace too, and all fled to our parents' home.Our parents naturally disagreed and tried to persuade my sister to return to the Johnsons."Divorce? Don't be ridiculous. Your sister has led you astray. The Johnsons are powerful and influential, such good in-
"Don't you dare to touch my wife!"Tom parked a sleek Cadillac in front of our house and strode in confidently.The villagers, seeing the car, all gathered around our house to gawk at the rare sight.I broke free from the thugs and threw myself into Tom's arms, tears streaming down my face.He tenderly wiped my tears, then looked down and noticed my belly."Sarah, you're pregnant again?"I nodded: "I found out the day you left. It's been just over six months now. How did your exams go?"When Tom announced he'd been accepted to university, the villagers erupted in excitement."A college student! Our village has never had a college student before!""I always knew Tom was special. Now he's really made something of himself."My sister was still indignant on my behalf: "If you got into college, why didn't you come back for Sarah sooner? While you were gone, she was nearly bullied to death!"My sister recounted everything that had happened to Tom.Tom hurriedly apologized to me:
A convoy of military vehicles parked neatly in front of our house, causing a commotion throughout the village.Mark went out to greet them, smiling."Uncle, you're finally here!"Mark's uncle got out of the car but didn't acknowledge Mark. Instead, he ran to open the door for someone in the back seat.A man with an imposing presence stepped out of the car."This is our base commander. He's here to find someone in your village."Mark's face was all smiles: "Hello, Commander! I'm the ranch foreman of Johnson Village. Who are you looking for? I know everyone here!"Seeing that Mark apparently had enough influence to speak with a military commander, my parents trembled in fear.Mark's gang of troublemakers regained their confidence.They crowded around Mark's uncle and the commander, trying to curry favor."Sir, I want to file a complaint! This family is nothing but trouble. They got into college and forgot their roots, now they're bullying us farmers! Please arrest them all!"T

Mark's uncle frantically tried to deny any involvement."Commander, I never said that! The boy's lying! We're not even close relatives!"Commander Quinn snorted, "Your neglect of the community and protection of a local bully has already been reported. You'll be under investigation."The uncle collapsed to the ground, cursing Mark for ruining him and threatening to divorce Mark's aunt.The villagers gossiped plenty before finally dispersing after the drama.Commander Quinn had brought many groceries and canned goods as welcome gifts for my family.My parents were overwhelmed, and my brothers were overjoyed.With Commander Quinn as witness, Tom proposed to hold a proper wedding ceremony for me.My parents had completely changed their tune, treating Tom better than their own sons. They agreed to everything he said, a far cry from when they had called him useless.I took the opportunity to ask Tom to convince my parents to let my sister divorce.Tom assured me that if Mark was co
