Chapter 138: Don't feed me

"What did I do?!" Yu Ruan saw that only Yu Yang and Bai Tao were in the living room, and couldn't help but change her voice, which was sharp and piercing: "I know, you are resentful of me for saying that you were unfilial in front of mother before, and you refused to let go of my brother's allowance, right?"

Her ferocious appearance with red eyes and disheveled hair made Yu Yang's body tremble uncontrollably. He subconsciously stood up and hid behind his mother.

Bai Tao said without any emotion: "Yes, I remember all the bad things you and mother did to me. Every year when I go back, you are very nice to me in front of Yu Cheng, but when he leaves, you turn your face against me and directly want Yu Cheng to find a new wife in front of me so that you can control him."

"Fortunately, this is a military marriage, otherwise you would have gotten what you wanted." Bai Tao changed her usual cowardly attitude of letting her scold her. She touched her belly with her right hand, protected the boy behind her with her left hand, and straightened her back.

"I think Yu Cheng is quite a coward. He is willing to be a filial son and let you two exploit him. He himself went to the front line of the military district with his head tied to his belt and charged into the battle. He was unaware that his wife and son were being tortured by you two in various ways."

"A man like this is really useless."

The sunlight from outside the window cast the shadow of the man at the bathroom door on the ground. Bai Tao glanced at him casually and then continued, "As for Gu Qingqing, who is targeting whom?"

Her tone was rarely aggressive: "Do you dare to say that it was not you who told the military wives that she couldn't have children so she took Shen Sui back? Do you dare to say that it was not you who spread the rumor that Gu Qingqing was able to teach the children on the island because of Chu Dai, the battalion commander, and now she is resigning because she is no longer able to teach? And Shen Sui, what kind of malicious words did you say in front of this child?"

Bai Tao looked at her coldly: "A slap in the face is too light. You don't deserve to be on the island. Gossiping all day long ruins the feng shui."

Yu Ruan was stunned. She obviously didn't expect her to be so eloquent. She rushed forward and wanted to tear her mouth: "Then let's see who will beat who today!"

When Yu Yang saw her rushing over, he thought of the girl in his mother's belly, and cried loudly as he rushed from behind Bai Tao to her front to protect his mother.

Yu Ruan's eyes were filled with venom. How could a child and a weak pregnant woman be a match for someone like her who worked in the fields in the countryside? She shouted, "You've had enough good times in your life, and you still want to hinder my good times, Bai Tao. Who can be as malicious as you?!"

She suddenly reached out and pushed Bai Tao, and saw that she was about to hit the corner of the chair behind her. There was a hint of pleasure in her eyes, which quickly turned into fear.

"Brother..." How is that possible? ! Didn't her brother go out?

Yu Cheng ran over and caught the woman in his arms. Bai Tao was shaking and crying. "Now you see clearly what kind of person your sister is, right? She wants to harm me and your child. Yu Cheng, if you send her money again, I will report her to Instructor Jiang for murder! Go live in the police station after you get off the island. There is a murderer in your family. You don't have to be the company commander anymore. Let's go back to farming as a family after you retire."

The woman in his arms broke free from his hand and led Yu Yang out of the living room. The only sound echoing in her ears was Yu Ruan's crying.

Yu Cheng closed his eyes and endured it again and again. Finally, he just said in a calm voice: "I have sent a lot of money back over the years. It is enough for you to use. I also have my own family. This matter ends here, and the relationship between us brothers and sisters also ends here."

After saying this, he strode out of the yard without even glancing at her.

Yu Ruanhun's body became limp, and he fell to the ground, sobbing and covering his face.

Gu Qingqing and her friends were strolling under the coconut trees in the North District. The sun was getting stronger and stronger, and they were chatting under the shade of the trees about the interesting stories they had heard from the military wives.

"Mrs. Zhou said that Erpang's mother wanted to have another child, but her husband didn't want to. He said that the family was already in chaos with so many boys, and it would be a real mess if there was another one."

"I heard that Erpang's mother dumped her man at night." They were all married, so Xu Nian dared to say that in front of Gu Qingqing.

Gu Qingqing couldn't help but grin: "Er Pang's mother is a straightforward person. Haha, Sister Anian, do you think there will be good news from her family in the near future?"

"I'm not sure about that." Xu Nian covered her mouth and laughed. She caught a glimpse of two figures, one big and one small, rushing over. She winked at Gu Qingqing and said, "Bai Tao is here to take Xiao Yang to school."

Gu Qingqing followed her line of sight and looked over. "Why does it feel like something is wrong with her? Her steps are so fast, as if something is holding her back."

"What else could it be?" Xu Nian pulled the green leaves from the bush and began to weave something. "It's just her unlucky sister-in-law."

Gu Qingqing laughed quietly, which was too outrageous. Others would hear it, especially Bai Tao. Pregnant women are too sensitive, and she was afraid that Bai Tao would think they were making fun of her.

With her back to Building No. 1, Gu Qingqing looked at the little rabbit that was gradually taking shape in her hands and said with emotion, "Sister Anian, you are so skillful. I also want to make some small toys to entertain the baby, but I guess it's not possible."

She thought it was a great achievement that she could mend the clothes now.

"I'll think of you when I have something good in the future." Xu Nian teased, "But Captain Chu probably won't give me this opportunity. Your family has the conditions. You can bring any supplies you want."

"How can that be possible?" Gu Qingqing leaned against the tree trunk and chatted and laughed with her: "I will think of you when I have something good, don't worry."

When she finished speaking, both women laughed.

Gu Qingqing looked at her watch. It was just past eight o'clock. She sighed, "I don't know what to do every day now. When I get up in the morning, Ah Sui lights the stove, boils water, fills the pot, and sweeps the yard. Chu Dai gets up earlier than me and pours water by the bed. When I get up and drink it, it's just warm."

"I don't have to worry about the work in the vegetable garden. Ah Sui has already done the watering and weeding. Now all I have to do is cook lunch and dinner. I don't know how to kill time. Sister Ah Nian, can you come to my house for lunch? I'll stir-fry sauerkraut and pork for you. Next time I'll try soaking some pickled ginger." She was already salivating as she spoke.

"You, just show off as much as you can." Xu Nian also swallowed his saliva: "Now when you say sour, I drool too. I ate all the sour radishes I gave you on the way back. You must make more."

"It's soaking now. There are still two big jars. We'll be able to eat it in a while." Gu Qingqing pulled her back and said, "Let's go to the vegetable garden first to see what vegetables there are and come up with a recipe. I'll plant two cucumber vines later. I haven't eaten this for a long time."

"I am the same." Xu Nian said, "I think you are probably having two boys. Is your Captain Chu mentally prepared?"

"He said that he treated boys and girls equally and was equally kind to them, and that they could use him as a father wherever he was needed."

"As expected of a battalion commander, you have a high level of awareness." Xu Nian shook his head and said, "Although Zhao Ze said that it doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl, I guess he hopes that the first baby will be a boy."

"Not necessarily. You didn't hear him say it yourself." Gu Qingqing took her arm and walked slowly on the way home. She said in a happy mood, "In fact, Brother Zhao is already a good man. Look, everyone on the island has some trivial matters. I thought the sisters-in-law went to the island for the free rice and oil, but now I have a feeling."

"Oh? How do you mean?"

"Look, you've seen what's going on with Sister Taozi's family, right? Some in-laws just compare that, you know."

"How could I not know? I was there that way, and you know it too." Xu Nian said, "You finally came to your senses. Most of the sisters-in-law went to the island to suffer with their husbands because their husbands' families were not that good. Although the conditions here are worse, it is more comfortable than at home."

Xu Nian walked for a distance, then waved her hands and stopped to catch her breath. As she grew older, her body became heavier and heavier, and she would be out of breath after walking a few steps.

"I was in the countryside before. Zhao Ze had two older brothers and sisters-in-law, as well as my mother. If you did something that didn't go their way, they would make all kinds of sneers and ridicule you. Especially the old lady. If you made her unhappy, she would tell all the aunts and uncles in the village about your faults the next day, and also blame your mother's family for not being able to teach people."

Gu Qingqing felt like she was having a heart attack when she heard this. She placed her hands on the white fence beside her and looked out at the blue sea. "It makes me sad to hear this. I don't know how you managed to get through this before."

"Isn't it? You may not believe me, but I wasn't very lively at first, but at least I wasn't dull. If I hadn't met you, I would still be a dull person now."

Xu Nian handed her the little rabbit she had woven and said, "You are a lucky person." Her husband's family didn't care about her and gave her such a generous betrothal gift. Her man took care of her and treated her like a treasure, and she was also loved by her own family.

She was really jealous.

"You are lucky too. Now you have peace of mind, your man treats you well, and the baby in your belly will come out to meet you in a few months." Gu Qingqing looked at the little rabbit in her palm and smiled.

"Yes, but I think the greatest blessing in my life is meeting you on the train and becoming good friends with you."

"Oh, I have goosebumps all over my body." Gu Qingqing shook her arms deliberately. "You, don't think too much. Think about what to eat later. When Zhao sees that you are not at home, he will come to you by himself, so you don't have to call him."

"Who cares what they do? If they can't make it, we can eat in the cafeteria. Team Leader Zhu's cooking skills are not bad." Xu Nian had rested enough and followed her back: "Hurry up and plant your cucumbers. It's better if you don't tell me. As soon as you tell me, I want to eat it. Then make some smashed cucumbers with some aged vinegar..."

"Stop talking!" Gu Qingqing bared her teeth and said, "I'll sow seeds when I get home, don't feed me."

"If that's not possible, let the supply ship bring some over next time to try it out. It's not a big deal to wait like this."

The two of them returned to the back yard. Gu Qingqing pushed open the gate and agreed, "Next time, let's go get supplies together and say hello to the captain."

"Okay, as long as you don't mind my slow pace."

"I don't mind, but I'm afraid the captain won't wait for anyone." Gu Qingqing smiled brightly: "Sister Anian, please wait for me. I'll go find some cucumber seeds and take a basket to the backyard to pick some vegetables."

After saying that, she quickly went to the kitchen.
