C...
The third daughter-in-law, who always vented her anger at her mother-in-law, slapped her thigh and said, "Mom, you are right. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. Some people are worse than animals."
The eldest brother’s wife patted her younger brother’s wife and asked, “Why are you adding fuel to the fire?”
When the third daughter-in-law saw the disapproving face of her eldest sister-in-law, she immediately shut her mouth. To be honest, she had never been afraid of her mother-in-law since she got married. Instead, she was more afraid of her eldest sister-in-law.
"Boss, you should know that when the time comes, this matter will definitely not be covered up. There might be someone with bad intentions who will throw the dirty water on you as well."
Who made her boss the director of a textile factory? If someone in the factory made a mistake, the director would be responsible for failing to supervise properly. The old lady would be sick to death if her boss was implicated by such a person.
Boss Liu nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on. This won't take long. It will be over in half a month at most. Don't worry about it."
Even though the old lady only knew a few words, she never made any mistakes on major issues. When they first started working, the old lady helped them a lot.
Given their mother's character and the care she gives them, it would not be excessive for them, as her children, to be filial to her.
The old lady waved her hand and said, "That's enough. You all need to listen carefully. You must take good care of your own children. Don't learn from people like this."
The old lady pointed to the sky and lowered her voice: "Everyone is watching. Right and wrong will be punished."
"Okay, it's almost time to eat. The kids are getting hungry, and I can't let my grandchildren go hungry."
The old lady seldom said these words, but she was very angry today. She was a mother who was particularly protective of her children, and she really couldn't stand people who treated their children like grass on the ground.
The third child quickly adjusted the atmosphere: "Yes, yes, yes, Mom, you are hungry too, right? You are going out, but you can't go too far, otherwise I would have picked you up long ago."
There's no fixed place where the old lady goes all day, so you can only wait for her to come back. You won't be able to find her by going out to look for her.
The second son's wife still said, "Mom, forget it today. You can't eat cold food when you go out in the future. Bring a kettle with you when you go out."
The old lady became a widow when she was young, and her life was extremely difficult back then.
She was a woman raising four half-grown children. The old lady was reluctant to share all her food with the children, which resulted in her own stomach being damaged by hunger. She would feel uncomfortable if she ate something that was not right.
old lady……
Oh no, I spoke so smoothly that I even blurted out the popsicle I had eaten.
The eldest son's wife also remembered this: "Mom, you don't have a stomachache, right? If you do, don't bear it. Let's take medicine quickly, otherwise you will suffer."
The old lady quickly shook her head: "No, I didn't feel anything at all. I will pay more attention next time."
Why did she move from one place to another? It was because she was afraid that the children would find out that she was eating secretly. Now that her life was better, she wanted to eat some of the things that she wanted to eat but couldn't bear to eat before.
But those things are not good for the stomach, and her children don’t let her eat them, so she can only eat them secretly.
The three daughters-in-law sighed and thought that they would just listen to what they said. They really thought that they didn't know that the old lady was cheating outside. It was just that they didn't notice that the old lady was upset, so they didn't expose her.
The only reason I mention it from time to time is because I'm afraid the old lady will feel that she's eating too much for no reason and is suffering.
The Liu family is undoubtedly a kind family in this era. If Chen Ye saw them, he would probably be very envious.
Chen Ye went out once at noon and has not left the guesthouse since then. No one knows what she is tinkering with. If it is quiet in the guesthouse, you can hear the rustling sound of paper coming from Chen Ye's room.
Chen Ye flicked the letter of severance in his hand and nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that he had not lost anything he learned from the one-eyed grandfather.
It was late at night. She looked at the moon hanging in the sky and knew it was getting late. She quickly got a basin of water, washed herself, and lay down to sleep.
When she woke up in the morning, Chen Ye took a look at the clothes on her body. This was the most worn coat she had worn this time. She wore it today because this coat could more intuitively reflect her living conditions.
She also put some makeup on her face and put a few red dots on it to make herself look uglier. She was really afraid that her heartless father would have some evil thoughts when he saw that she looked pretty.
Nowadays, there are many people who exchange their daughters for benefits. There are such people in their village, not to mention the nearby villages. The daughters are like piglets.
When they are almost grown, I start to weigh and sell them by pound without any regret at all.
She didn't go out either, but sat quietly in the room waiting for someone to come find her. It would be inappropriate for her to go directly to the army, and it would be better to resolve everything peacefully.
If not, she will resort to some drastic measures.
As for filling her stomach with food, she would wait until they met. She didn't seem to have much appetite right now.
She didn't want to have anything to do with the father she had never met, and she didn't want to cry, make a fuss, or even commit suicide, turning herself into a shrew and making a fuss.
It’s not that I won’t cry, make a fuss, or even commit suicide, but I feel that doing so will lower my status.
At about nine o'clock, there was a knock on Chen Ye's door. Chen Ye took a deep breath, opened the door, and looked at the person standing at the door.
This was obviously not the person she was looking for. The man looked very young, probably less than 20 years old. Could it be that the man was unwilling to even talk to her face to face?
If she wasn't afraid of the possible trouble that might arise later, she wouldn't want to meet that man.
Chen Ye looked at the newcomer without saying a word. The young soldier grinned awkwardly and said, "Um, are you Comrade Chen Ye?"
"Yes, I am Chen Ye. Who are you?" Chen Ye's face showed some confusion.
"Hello, Comrade Chen Ye, our deputy battalion commander asked me to come pick you up. He said he has something to tell you. Is it convenient for you now?"
Chen Ye immediately understood what Chen Jiefang meant. He was thinking that it would be best if no one saw him meeting him, so as to avoid causing trouble for him in the future. This was really cautious.
The question is, how could such a cautious man allow his wife to be so rampant?
Can't control it?
Or - deliberate connivance?
Chen Ye quickly shook off the thoughts in her mind. No matter what the reason was, it had little to do with her. She just needed to take care of her own business and not pay attention to anything else so that she could live longer.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll grab my bag and go with you."
"Don't worry, don't worry, take your time."
Chen Ye picked up her tattered shoulder bag and walked out of the room. She turned around and locked the door: "Let's go."
