Chapter 223 Ambition Needs to Be Matched by Ability

"We will discuss our own affairs."

After hearing his mother’s final decision, what else could Yi Chichi say?

Just accept it.

After putting away the pots and pans, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law packed up seafood, dried fruits, cigarettes, alcohol, candy and other items and went to the cowshed.

The sky was cloudless and the moonlight was bright.

A gust of wind blew, the branches swayed, and the shadows of the trees appeared on the ground.

Mother Wen suddenly came over to Yi Chichi and took her arm, "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law, mom will protect you."

The voice is trembling.

Yi Chichi was silent for two seconds, then tentatively said, "Mom, it's the shadow of the tree."

"I know."

He answered the question too quickly, and seemed to be lacking in energy, looking a little weak.

It’s confirmed that this new mother-in-law is afraid of strange things.

Just as she was about to ease her fear, Wen's mother spoke again.

"I'm not really scared, I just feel a little uncomfortable."

"...How about you go back, mom, and I go alone?"

"no."

It was pitch dark and she was worried about leaving her daughter-in-law alone.

However, Yi Chichi was more worried than her, fearing that her new mother-in-law would be frightened.

But I couldn't persuade him to go back, so I had no choice but to change the subject.

"Mom, are you afraid of bad guys?"

"Nothing can be worse than a good life."

When she mentioned this, her entire aura changed, from gentle to sharp, like a blade being unsheathed.

"I cut off several of them with one knife at a time."

Yi Chichi was stunned, "Mom, have you been to the battlefield?"

"Where there is a need to go? Everywhere is a battlefield at that time."

She smiled bitterly, "It took me several days to recover from my first kill, and then I didn't feel anything anymore."

No wonder she had the courage to be a single mother in such a difficult time, and raised Wen Shi alone. It turned out that he was a hero of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

However, "Where is Wen Shi's father?"

“Sacrificed.”

Yi Chichi suddenly felt extremely guilty and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mom..."

"Stop."

Mother Wen interrupted her and said calmly, "It was so many years ago. To be honest, I don't even remember what Father Wen Shi looks like now."

There was not a single photo left, but there was one relic, a bloodstained and tattered military uniform.

"I just remember that he was a young man with very nice and white teeth."

"Does Wen Shi look like his father?"

“…Probably similar.”

Not wanting to continue this topic, she asked, "Are we going to tell the old man about taking Qin Jiu home?"

"We'll talk about it when we get there."

"Are they treating you well, old man?"

"It was fine when I was a kid, but we lost touch later."

Yi Chichi succinctly recounted the original owner's experience. Wen's mother was heartbroken and scolded Yi Yong, saying that he was not a human being and was even worse than an animal.

She called Zhang Lanxiang a black-hearted person and even cursed Yi Jing and the others.

As they were cursing, they arrived at the cowshed.

"Mom, stop scolding, we're here."

"Huh? We're here so soon?"

"Yes."

Mother Wen, who was cursing vigorously, sighed when she heard it, "I haven't scolded enough yet."

"You can continue to curse when you get back."

“This is fine.”

As they were talking, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law appeared in front of the door.

Yi Chichi just reached out to knock on the door when it creaked open and the old man's face with wrinkles from smiling appeared in her sight.

"I knew you would come."

"Great uncle."

Yi Chichi called out with a smile, and Wen's mother followed up with a call, "Big Brother."

The old man was choked. This name sounded really confusing.

"Your daughter-in-law calls me great aunt."

The implication is: It is inappropriate for you to call him Big Brother.

Wen's mother laughed, "You just say it for free."

"Don't shout next time."

"good."

Then the old man opened the door and let the two men in.

Before they went in, they didn't notice anything was wrong. Once they went in, they found that Mr. Song and the others were not asleep yet, and they were all turning their heads to look at them.

"Why didn't you sleep?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I know you'll be back today."

This concise sentence explained why they didn't sleep.

Yi Chichi smiled and said, "Very good, take the things."

She put the things in her hands on the ground and began to distribute them.

No one is left behind.

The gay men had cigarettes and alcohol, the lesbians had candy and malted milk, and the kid Qin Jiu had toys, picture books, notebooks and pens.

Then, she discovered something.

"Where's Xiao Jiu?"

That’s right, Qin Jiu is not here.

The old man and the others immediately laughed, and Mrs. Song explained, "I was so excited to know you were coming back that I fell asleep due to exhaustion."

Yi Chichi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and the old man said decisively, "I'll go wake him up."

"Don't."

She quickly stopped him, “Let Xiao Jiu sleep, it’ll be the same if we meet tomorrow.”

As she spoke, she took out some cloth and handed it to Old Lady Song, "Grandma Song, you can use these cloths as you see fit."

"good."

The old lady took the cloth, opened it and looked at it. This girl really bought a lot.

It is definitely impossible to make one piece of clothing for each person, but it doesn’t matter. You can make two overalls and two pairs of pants to wear alternately.

The remaining scraps of cloth can be glued together to make shoe patches, which is great.

"You guys chat while I go put the fabric away."

After Yi Chi Chiying said hello, she began to ask about the old man and his family's life during the time she was away, as if checking their household registration.

Knowing her concerns, the old man was not vague and told them in detail about his daily life and mood during this period, as if he was giving a report.

Wen's mother, who was listening to the conversation between the old and the young, blinked, feeling that there was something wrong with this way of getting along.

It seemed as if the identities of her daughter-in-law and her uncle were swapped, her daughter-in-law was the elder and her uncle-in-law was the younger.

Seeing that Mr. Song and the others acted as if it was normal, occasionally saying a few words or making supplementary remarks, she smiled.

Her daughter-in-law is a good person, and Wen Shi made the right choice in marrying her.

At this moment, she was extremely grateful that she had taken the initiative on behalf of her son when she learned that Yi Chichi was being targeted, otherwise such a good daughter-in-law would not have been able to enter her home.

Well, I have to send a telegram to my son tomorrow to report my achievement.

Yi Chichi had no idea what she was thinking. After chatting with the old man and the others, she was ready to get up and leave.

But unexpectedly, Mr. Ma suddenly said, "By the way, there is something I need to tell you."

He looked serious, and Yi Chichi immediately straightened his posture and pretended to listen attentively.

"You."

"Have you seen the new female educated youth?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the old man and the others turned grim.

Yi Chichi nodded, "I have seen it."

"What does it feel like?"

The old man wanted to hear her evaluation of Xue Jiahuan, but Yi Chichi thought about it and said, "I don't feel anything."

"??? No feeling?"

This answer stunned the old man and the others. Yi Chichi nodded and emphasized again, "Yes, I don't feel anything."

I really don't feel anything. It's stupid, but what does it have to do with her? As long as it's not stupid enough for her, she can do whatever she wants.

There is nothing wrong with having ambitions in life, and there is nothing wrong with wanting to live a good life, but one thing is very important, that is, ambitions need to match abilities.
