Chapter 220 Daydream

Early the next morning

"You're saying that even with all that big stuff, it's still not enough for that good-for-nothing to drink?"

"You want to feed her egg custard every day? You really think you have a precious baby."

Gu Yihan was awakened from her sleep by sharp shouts and curses coming from the courtyard.

I squinted and pulled out my watch from under my pillow. I was so angry I almost died. It was only 6:30.

Who would be so rude as to come to someone else's house and make such a racket so early in the morning?

It caused her to lose half an hour of sleep.

Filled with anger, he got dressed and went out into the yard.

Grandma Gu was standing at the kitchen door, holding Hao Hao in one arm and handing two eggs to Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother in the other.

He instructed, "We don't have many eggs left. Since you have children at home, you still need to feed a few chickens."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother reached out and took the eggs, her face full of disapproval.

"Feeding chickens wastes food. Our family is not like yours, where we make money."

"A little girl like her, just give her some gruel to drink, and she won't starve."

"Even the landlords of the past wouldn't dare to think that they wanted to eat eggs every day."

Grandma Gu was truly speechless after being bullied by Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother.

She looked up and saw her granddaughter standing at the living room door. She smiled and said, "Xiao Lu asked me to tell you that he has something to do these few days and won't be coming back."

Gu Yihan glared expressionlessly at Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother, then grunted in response to Grandma Gu.

Lu Huailin told her last night that he's been a bit busy these past few days, as he's taking the team on a training trip in the mountains.

She walked to the washbasin stand, washed her face, and asked, "Grandma, do we have enough eggs this month?"

Grandma Gu said happily, "We have chickens at home, and with the egg coupons you and Xiao Lu received this month, it'll be just enough."

Gu Yihan nodded, "That's enough."

The deputy battalion commander's mother's eyes lit up the moment she saw Gu Yihan, and she walked over to her side in a few steps.

A smile appeared on his face, which looked like an old orange peel.

She flattered, "Xiao Han, if I had to say, among all the military wives in the compound, you have the best life."

"Look at what you're saying, Auntie. Which military wife in the family quarters is having a bad life?" Gu Yihan asked sarcastically while wiping her hands with a towel.

The smile on Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother's face froze. Regiment Commander Lu's wife was setting a trap for her.

The lowest-ranking family member who can accompany a soldier to the military is a deputy battalion commander; she said that people there don't live a good life.

If they find out, and then whisper sweet nothings in the ears of the men in the house, wouldn't that harm their own son?

"Xiao Han, Auntie just wanted to ask when your textile factory will be hiring?"

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother didn't mince words and directly stated her purpose.

"How would Xiao Han know about this recruitment?" Grandma Gu quickly interjected.

Pah, shameless.

She wanted her granddaughter to help her good-for-nothing daughter-in-law find a job.

With jobs so scarce, even if there are available positions, wouldn't it be better to sell them to others for a little money and use it to support Hao Hao?

What good would it do for their family to give to these ungrateful wretches?

"I've heard about it. Your granddaughter got a raise. Isn't it easy to find a job for someone she knows?" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother said with a smile to Grandma Gu.

"Auntie, it's only around 6:30. You still have time to go home and sleep!" Gu Yihan said irritably.

"What do you mean?" Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother asked, puzzled.

"Anything can happen in dreams."

Gu Yihan walked to Grandma Gu's side, took Hao Hao from her arms, said those words, and went straight back into the house.

Only then did Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother realize what was happening, and she said to Grandma Gu, "How could your granddaughter speak so disrespectfully to people!"

Grandma Gu couldn't help but laugh out loud, urging, "You should go back now, Xiaohan is right."

Deputy Battalion Commander Wang's mother's face turned cold.

Enraged, she shoved the egg she was holding heavily into Grandma Gu's hand.

"Our family is poor, we can't afford your eggs." After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.

Grandma Gu glanced at the eggs in her hand and put them directly into the egg basket in the kitchen.

She snorted coldly: "If it weren't for her pitiful granddaughter, she wouldn't even lend her chicken droppings."

at the same time

Zhou family

Su Nian was awakened by the sounds of things being smashed and broken in the living room. After she got dressed and opened the bedroom door, she did not find Zhou Yan.

Unfortunately, as soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I was choked by a pungent smell that made me cough.

"Zhou Yan, cough... cough cough."

Hearing Su Nian's call, Zhou Yan, spatula in hand, walked out of the kitchen with a cold face and said impatiently, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Su Nian wasn't angry even though she saw her bad attitude.

"Of course, we'll make chili porridge," Zhou Yan said casually, glancing at Su Nian.

snort

If Zhou Jun dares to hit her, he shouldn't blame himself for retaliating against Su Nian.

Upon hearing this, Su Nian frowned, looking at Zhou Yan who exuded an aura of "what can you do to me?"

"Zhou Yan, you know I can't eat spicy food," Su Nian said patiently.

"Eat it or not, it's all so fussy." Zhou Yan glared at Su Nian and turned back to the kitchen.

Zhou Jun, who had just finished exercising, looked at Su Nian standing in the yard with surprise.

He walked over and touched her face: "Honey, why are you up so early?"

Su Nian looked up at him, her eyes red, and said, "Can't you smell the chili peppers?"

She didn't know what was wrong with Zhou Yan; ever since she came back last night, she had been treating her with disrespect.

"Huh? Really?" Zhou Jun sniffed hard with his nose. This spiciness is really strong and smells amazing.

At this moment, Zhou Yan carried the cooked chili porridge to Zhou Jun and looked at Su Nian triumphantly.

He said, "Sister-in-law, you're the only one in our family who's so picky. You won't eat this or that, but my brother can't live without spicy food."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jun walked over to Zhou Yan and saw the porridge in the pot, topped with a layer of red chili peppers.

His face immediately turned ugly, and he said coldly, "Is this the breakfast you made?"

Zhou Yan: "Yes, we can't just give up spicy food for the rest of our lives just because of my sister-in-law's taste."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jun sneered, overturned the porridge pot, and slapped Zhou Yan across the face.

He angrily retorted, "Who gave you the audacity to speak to your sister-in-law in that tone?"

Knowing full well that Su Nian can't handle spicy food, they still pulled this stunt so early in the morning to annoy her.

Do you really think I can't see that she did it on purpose?

Zhou Yan covered her burning face, a flash of hatred in her eyes as she glared at Zhou Jun, and gritted her teeth, saying, "What right do you have to hit me?"

Su Nian didn't expect Zhou Jun to hit Zhou Yan, so she quickly went over.

She grabbed his arm and complained, "A girl's face is precious, you can't let it get hurt."

Zhou Jun looked down at Su Nian and instructed, "I'll have someone buy her a ticket later. Get her out of here right now, you heartless ingrate."

Su Nian opened her mouth, but she knew she couldn't take care of two children by herself.

This is also why she has always indulged Zhou Yan.

"You two, don't even think about kicking me out!" Zhou Yan yelled before turning and running out.

Zhou Jun sneered, "A toad trying to eat swan meat, she doesn't even know her own limitations."

Su Nian slapped his arm in an annoyance: "Alright, you should also pay attention to Zhou Yan's marriage."

"After all, they've looked after our children for several years. Even if they haven't done anything particularly meritorious, they've certainly put in a lot of hard work."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Jun fell silent. He didn't want to harm his comrade with Zhou Yan's personality.
