Chapter 171 Your brother-in-law found another woman
Speaking of the two children, Lin's mother had something to say. She smiled and said, "They are doing well. Jianshe is a junior in college and will graduate next winter. As for Shuyin, she has already completed her undergraduate studies and is currently studying for a master's degree. She will also graduate next year."
Zhang's parents didn't know much about the conservatory, so they asked,
"Shuyin is studying at a music college, right?"
Lin's mother nodded. "Yes, the Central Conservatory of Music, the best music school in our country."
Zhang's mother: "Is it enough to study at the music college for two years?"
After thinking about it, although they are both universities, the music program is indeed shorter if it only teaches singing.
Father Lin said, "No, it's all four years. Shuyin finished early. She has good grades and a sharp mind. She finished the four-year course in two years. Then the teacher invited her to stay on as a teacher."
Most people cannot become a university teacher, but because his daughter has excellent professional performance, the school invited her to be a teacher. Father Lin felt proud just thinking about it.
It’s a pity that the couple is not in Beijing, otherwise they could have a good talk with their neighbors.
Lin's mother: "Yes, she finished reading ahead of time."
Zhang's father and mother looked at each other and smiled, "Oh, our Shuyin is still amazing."
Lin's mother said, "This child should study hard from a young age."
Zhang's mother said, "Yes, Hongying and Hongmin are not as smart as Shuyin, and she only got into a junior college when she took the college entrance exam."
When Lin's parents heard this, they asked, "Hongying and Hongmin both got into college?"
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang have five children, three sons and two daughters. Only the eldest has a job. The second, third and fourth children have all gone to the countryside. Hongying and Hongmin are the second and third.
Zhang Hongying took the college entrance examination three times and finally passed this year. Her sister Hongmin also passed.
Zhang's father smiled and said, "They both passed the exam."
Zhang's mother said, "I said that your cousins all got into the best schools in our country, but you two should just get into a junior college."
Lin's mother said, "Oh, stop saying that. A junior college is also a university. Look at how many people around us can get into junior colleges?"
“Those who get into college are the best of the best.”
Father Lin nodded. Being admitted to university was indeed rare. However, his two children were also rare.
Zhang's parents liked to hear this. Lin's mother asked,
"Hongying is going to college, what will happen to her partner and children?"
Starting from the second year, the college entrance examination policy changed. Candidates had to be single. However, her niece was married in the countryside, but the third sister Hongmin was not.
Hong Yingneng's college entrance examination is probably a fake divorce.
Zhang's mother said, "Hongying applied to a local university in Hohhot. It's okay. It won't affect her."
“It’s close to home.”
Although they, as parents, miss their daughters, they will not persuade them to do things that would abandon their husbands and children.
Human hearts are like this. Ever since the college entrance examination was resumed, both men and women don’t want children, husbands or wives anymore. They feel they are not a good match, so they find a new one in college, saying they want to start over.
Their parents are quite supportive, but they won't. They even advise their daughter not to have such thoughts, saying that their son-in-law is not bad to them, so why don't they have children and men? Who knows what kind of person they will meet next.
It doesn't matter what the adults do, as long as the children suffer.
Mother Lin: "That's fine. I thought Hongying applied to a university near us."
Zhang's mother said, "No, it's from our local newspaper Hongmin Daily."
Every time they chat with Mr. and Mrs. Lin, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang feel like they have to flatter their brother-in-law. This time they feel like they are finally proud of themselves. They have two college students in their family. They also have two college students in their family.
Who is worse than who.
This time I came here specifically to tell them about this.
Mr. and Mother Zhang passed away feeling refreshed.
Lin's father and mother are free every day after retirement. They either chat with neighbors or visit their two young ladies. Now that Zhang Hongying and Zhang Hongmin are taking the college entrance examination, Lin's mother went to talk to Lin's eldest sister Lin Shuyi.
Mother Lin was still quite proud. This was her family. There were several college students in her family. Not to mention the eldest daughter's in-laws' family, there was not a single college student in the younger daughter's in-laws' family, the Zhou family.
Lin Shuyin and Lin Jianshe, their children who lived far away in Beijing, were not left out and wrote letters to tell them about the incident.
Lin Shuyin didn't know when her mother became so close to her. In the past few years, she wrote to her almost once a month and told her everything.
In addition to the matter of Zhang Hongying and Zhang Hongmin, Lin's mother also mentioned that they could not go to Beijing this year, and they would come again next summer, in 1981.
But 81 was unable to come because Lin Jianye and Qian Xianghong had another baby, a daughter, and Lin's father and mother had to take care of their granddaughter.
Don't even think about going out in the next few years.
Lin Shuyin thought that family planning was thoroughly implemented in 1980, but after checking, it seems that this was not the case. It was not fully implemented until September 1982 and was written into the Constitution. Those who had more than one child would be fined.
In the letter, Lin's mother complained that her waist ached from taking care of the baby, and that her daughter-in-law Qian Xianghong didn't take care of her at night, so Lin's mother, the grandmother, took care of the baby to sleep.
Qian Xianghong had no other reason to have a third child. First, she was pregnant and had no choice but to have the baby. Of course, she could have an abortion, but she wanted to have it. Second, she could get an extra bonus for having three children in the future.
Anyway, someone is there to take care of the baby for her, so just give birth.
So Lin's father and mother took the baby and delayed until the summer of 1983 when they came to the capital and met Shen's father and mother, their in-laws.
Both Lin Shuyin and Lin Jianshe graduated. Lin Shuyin stayed in the school as a teacher, while Lin Jianshe went to work in the government department, at the customs.
After Lin's father and mother finished their meal with their in-laws, they came over to Lin Shuyin. Lin's mother had something to say to her daughter.
Shen Guannan went to the army and was not at home. Siyu went out to play with his classmates and was also not at home. Shen's father and mother were very aware of the situation and when they saw that Lin Shuyin had graduated, they returned home to live.
Don't live with them anymore.
There were only three of them in the family. Father Lin looked around, and Mother Lin also looked around a few times, then pulled Lin Shuyin to sit down, "Shuyin, Mommy wants to tell you something."
It was so serious that Lin Shuyin was a little scared.
"What's the matter, Mom?"
Mother Lin sighed, "Your brother-in-law Zhou Jianguo, he found another woman and was discovered by your sister."
Although it happened in the original owner's previous life and she had guessed what happened two years ago, Lin Shuyin was still surprised when she heard it with her own ears.
"What the hell?"
"Looking for another woman?"
Lin's mother said, "Yes, we found an accountant from their factory. They were being intimate and were discovered by Shuyi!"
Lin Shuyin was very surprised, "Oh my god, how did that happen?"
Lin's mother said, "What can we do? We've beaten and scolded her, and Zhou Jianguo has promised to break up with that woman, and the accountant has been fired."
Although it was unlikely, Lin Shuyin still asked, "Can't we get a divorce?"
Lin's mother said, "Why are you getting a divorce? What will happen to the four children if you leave? Besides, your father and I have asked your sister if she wants a divorce. If she does, none of the four children will be able to stay with her. Your sister doesn't want a divorce."
"Besides, if you leave, there will be room for the fox spirits outside, so why do you want to leave?"
After the country's reform and opening up, some aspects have changed. In the past, people who committed adultery would be arrested and criticized, but now no one cares.
Lin Shuyin suspected that in her previous life, that is, the original owner, Zhou Jianguo probably had sex with her a long time ago, but the original owner didn't find out until several years later.
These two sisters.
"Shuyin, Mom wants to ask you if this happened in Guannan."
"I know he is a soldier and generally won't make such a mistake easily, but Guannan is the chief of staff, a high position. Even if he doesn't want to do it, outsiders may not."
"You better be careful."
Lin Shuyin shook her head, "Mom, he didn't."
She felt that the big system was her biological parents. Neither her parents in her previous life, nor her father and mother Lin, counted as her biological parents. Only the big system mattered. Every move of Shen Guannan was monitored by the big system.
Mother Lin nodded. "I don't think Guannan is that kind of person. Unlike your sister's boyfriend, who is shaky and unstable, Guannan looks stable."
"Although it's not right to say this, Mom still wants to say, it's fortunate that you only gave birth to a daughter, so even if something happens, you can get out of it."
The second daughter graduated from graduate school and became a teacher at a university. The granddaughter is also grown up. Even if something happens, there is no need to worry about divorce, because the daughter can come over and support her.
Unlike the young lady who has no job, if she gets divorced and doesn't want children, it's fine, but if she does, how will she raise the children?
Lin Shuyin nodded, "Yes."
Lin's mother sighed, "After all, they are husband and wife, and they still have feelings for each other. Zhou Jianguo also said that he was confused. The first time was because he drank alcohol, and then he was threatened by the woman or something."
Lin Shuyin, “This is also believed”
Lin's mother said, "I don't believe it, what can I do?"
What else can she do if she doesn't believe it? Should she admit that her husband has changed his mind? Obviously not. Lin's mother also knows that a man who is really drunk can't even get up, let alone do that. He is like dead, the only difference is that he is breathing.
This is obviously an excuse, but what can we do?
Lin Shuyin, "This is really annoying. Shuyi is still at home taking care of the kids?"
Women just need to see more of the world. Even though it's immoral, if you don't want to get divorced because of this kind of infidelity, then go ahead and do it. But if you don't go out, there were no cell phones in those days, so you wouldn't be able to find anyone even if you wanted to.
Mother Lin sighed again, "Yes, your sister is pregnant."
Lin Shuyin had a question mark on her face, "Why is she pregnant again? Didn't she say she didn't want to have a baby? And she's planning on having a baby, so how can she have a baby?"
Lin's mother said, "That won't affect you. Your brother-in-law is not working in the factory this year. He has started his own business. Just pay the fine."
After complaining about her son-in-law for a while, Lin's mother started to speak well of him again, "Actually, your sister's wife is not bad either. She started out on her own and found your eldest brother. The two of them are doing it together. They are in the clothing business and they make a lot of money."
"And he was very nice to your sister. He was generous with her gold and silver jewelry and money. He might have just been confused for a moment."
Lin Shuyin knew that you couldn't refute when someone said something nice like this, you had to go along with it. She said, "I guess so. He was confused for a moment. Otherwise, they would have four children and their wife is pretty good. Zhou Jianguo wouldn't want to divorce Shuyi and marry that woman."
Mother Lin, "No, Shuyi told me that Zhou Jianguo didn't mean that. He was just confused and said that the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family can only be your sister."
Oh my god, the lines from the play are out.
Lin Shuyin was speechless, "Who wants to be the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family?"
Lin's mother said, "Anyway, I'm reminding you. Take your sister as an example. You should take care of Guannan. I'll talk to Sarin Construction tomorrow."
Lin Shuyin, "You are afraid of finding someone else to build it"
Lin's mother said, "I went to warn them that it's better for the couple to stay together and live a good life as a family, and not to cause any trouble."
Lin Shuyin: "You go ahead."
Lin's mother said, "You have nothing to do anyway, why don't you go with me?"
Lin's father and mother came this morning. Thanks to their son-in-law Zhou Jianguo, their home has a telephone. Lin Shuyin's family also has a telephone thanks to her husband Shen Guannan.
It was much more convenient to have a phone. Lin's mother called back to report that she was safe. The old couple were tired after traveling for several days, so she chatted with Lin Shuyin for a while and then let them go to rest.
Lin Shuyin was the only one in the family who had plenty of free time, so she went to the market in the afternoon to buy some vegetables and prepare dinner.
In the evening, Lin Jianshe, Sarin and his family of three also came to eat. Lin's mother couldn't keep it to herself, so she told them about it during the meal.
"You guys must not do things like your brother-in-law did!"
Lin Jianshe got angry when he heard this, "Mom, Shuyi doesn't want a divorce?"
Lin's mother said, "Why are you getting a divorce? What will happen to your sister if she gets a divorce? What about the children? Besides, if she gets a divorce, she will just be given a place to some scoundrel out there."
Lin Jianshe put down his chopsticks and said, "This is really stupid. Now that the country has been reformed and opened up, there are no restrictions on finding a job. Why not do anything else? You can even set up a stall and sell clothes."
"I have to stay with a man, and he's a rotten man."
Lin's mother said, "You make it sound simple. If a woman gets divorced, she will be criticized by others."
Lin Jianshe was very angry. "You don't want to divorce just because you're afraid of being criticized? How can you live like this, feeling suspicious and sad every day? Shuyi is still so young, why should you rely on him for your whole life?"
Lin Shuyin, "Jianshe, calm down first. Shuyi is pregnant now. Even if you want to divorce, you can't."
Sarin, "Why are you pregnant again?"
Lin Jianshe, "Okay, then I won't leave if you don't want to."
He was speechless.
Mother Lin said, "Besides, your brother-in-law is doing business with your eldest brother now. What business can you do without them?"
Lin Jianshe curled his lips and said, "Mom, just think about big brother."
This made Lin's mother angry, "What do you mean I miss your brother? It's your sister who doesn't want to get a divorce. She doesn't want to get a divorce. It's not that we don't want to get a divorce. She doesn't want to get a divorce."
The younger son made it seem as if she was forcing them to divorce. Although they didn't want them to get divorced, they wouldn't stop her if she insisted on getting a divorce.
Salin said to Lin Jianshe, "Enough, Shuyi is such a grown-up, he knows it himself, we are far away in the capital, we can't control him."
Father Lin said, "Don't talk about you. We as parents can't do anything about it."
Lin's parents had originally planned to sleep at Lin Shuyin's place, but Salen and Lin Jianshe had to go to work, and wanted Lin's parents to come over to look after the house and their grandson, so Lin's parents went to their house.
Said to Lin Shuyin, "We'll come over tomorrow."
Lin Shuyin nodded. Lin's father and mother couldn't stay for long, just about a week. Their son and daughter-in-law were busy every day, and their granddaughter was still young, so they had to go back to look after her.
When they lay down on the bed at night, Lin Shuyin told Shen Guannan about this matter, "Guannan, what do you think about this matter?"
