"The reason I came to join the army alone was because I couldn't live with them. To put it bluntly, their thinking was still stuck in feudal society. They thought that a daughter-in-law who married into their Yu family was just a commodity. They didn't treat me as a human being at all. They were always showing off and asking me to serve them. They wanted to feed them and take care of their excrement and urine. They treated me like a slave. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I wrote to Dagang to join the army. I didn't dare tell them in advance. After receiving Dagang's reply, I packed my bags and ran away secretly at night."
Song Yun frowned and asked, "Then what's the purpose of their coming here this time?"
Thinking of what her mother-in-law said when she came home that afternoon, Chen Cuicui was speechless. "They said that I was the only one enjoying their son's happiness. This is something that is intolerable. They also want to join the army. The son's happiness can only be enjoyed by them. I don't deserve it."
The presence of such unreasonable and unruly people in the compound will corrupt the atmosphere and who knows what kind of trouble will arise in the future.
Song Yun said to Chen Cuicui, "First, look at what your husband does. If he tacitly approves of your mother-in-law's behavior, then I suggest you reconsider this marriage before you have children. If your husband is fair and reasonable, and won't blindly side with his parents to exploit you out of filial piety, then you need to make a plan. Either live separately from your mother-in-law, or have them return to their hometown. Don't try to change them; that's impossible."
Chen Cuicui was also very nervous, and she didn't know what her husband would do.
If, as Song Yun said, he really sided with his parents in bullying and exploiting her for the sake of so-called filial piety, what should she do? Divorce? She had never considered it.
Seeing her uneasy expression, Song Yun didn't say anything more, fearing it would only make her feel worse. She changed the subject and said, "I have a very important friend who is getting married next month. Can I ask you to make her a wedding dress? I'll charge you according to the market price. I don't know much about fabrics, but I'll take care of everything. I'll pay and provide the invoice."
Chen Cuicui quickly waved her hands and said, "I'll do it for you, what are you talking about money?"
Song Yun's face was stern. "That's not right. Let's put things in perspective. If you don't want to pay, I'll find someone else."
Seeing that she was serious, Chen Cuicui just agreed, "I'll listen to you."
Song Yun remembered Lifen's style. She hadn't changed much and still acted the same as before.
After receiving the money, tickets and coins from Song Yun to buy cloth, Chen Cuicui said goodbye and went home.
When he returned home, the two old people had not yet eaten the sweet potato porridge and were waiting for their son to come back with empty stomachs. They wanted their son to see how his wife abused the old man by feeding him such food, which was worse than the food in their country. They came here to enjoy themselves, not to suffer.
Seeing that the two elders ignored her, Chen Cuicui was happy to have some peace and quiet, so she went back to her room and took out her brush to draw a pattern for her wedding dress.
She was originally good at drawing patterns, and during this period she made several sets of clothes for Chi Mei, and she became even more adept at drawing patterns.
Just thinking that this wedding dress was a gift that Song Yun wanted to give to her best friend, she felt that it had to be different from ordinary wedding dresses and had to be more exquisite. She drew several pictures but was not satisfied with any of them.
As it gradually darkened, she turned on the light and planned to continue painting when she suddenly heard the exaggerated shouting of the witch outside.
"Gangzi, Gangzi, you're finally back. If you hadn't come back, your wife would have bullied us to death!"
Chen Cuicui put down the pen in her hand and listened to the noise outside. It seemed that her husband asked them to speak in a low voice, so their screams became lower and she could no longer hear them clearly.
Just when she was thinking about whether to go out and take a look, she saw Yu Dagang pushing the door in. She looked up at Yu Dagang, wanting to see if his expression was different from usual.
