Chapter 2 Treat Gu Huai as the Boss
"..." Sun Tieying choked and looked extremely ugly.
I advised her with good intentions, but she actually said such things. I felt like I was wrongly accusing her.
Sun Tieying has been working in women's affairs for so long, but this is the first time she has been treated like this. She is so embarrassed.
Wen Zhaodi glared at him, "How dare you talk like that? Who wronged you? That's the truth. Dongdong and Nannan are two children. How could they lie?"
It is said that children will not lie, so everyone will believe what children say, but they don’t know that some children will also lie.
"Has your child never lied?" Yu Hui asked back.
"Of course my child..." Wen Zhaodi stopped talking midway and glanced at her beloved son Hongbing who was still receiving an IV drip on the bed next to her.
The child stole her grocery money and falsely accused his elder sister of taking it. He used the money to buy five popsicles and ate them. He developed gastroenteritis and was admitted to the hospital for an IV drip.
Her Hongbing is even smaller than Dongdong!
Sun Tieying didn't want to work with Yu Hui anymore. She was like a stinking stone in the toilet, smelly and hard. She refused to admit it, refused to repent, and even put the blame on others.
"Xiao Yu, since you've become their stepmother, you must fulfill your responsibilities and raise four children well. If something like today happens again, I will report it. Abusing a soldier's child is a serious crime, and the organization will punish you."
"Since you're awake, go home quickly. The children are at Captain Yu's house next door." After saying that, Sun Tieying took the army green satchel hanging on the chair and walked away with a cold face.
Originally, they wanted to let the children's grandmother stay for a few days to take care of the children and look after Yu Hui, but the children's grandmother also had to go home to take care of her two grandchildren and would be back in the morning. The four children were temporarily left at the home of Captain Yu next door.
Sun Hongbing woke up and Wen Zhaodi no longer cared about Yu Hui.
Yu Hui lay in bed for a while, looking down upon by the other two patients in the ward, before getting out and slowly leaving the hospital, relying on the original owner's memory to walk back.
Yu Hui was often pointed at and talked about along the way. It seemed that the story of her as a vicious stepmother abusing her child had spread throughout the entire compound.
Along the way, Yu Hui was also planning in her mind what to do in the future.
In the 1970s, when everything was relatively backward and materials were scarce, she was a rural person without a formal job. If she divorced Gu Huai, she would have to go back to the countryside.
Although she is an orphan, she grew up in an orphanage. She can do housework and handicrafts, but she really doesn't know how to farm.
Moreover, because the original owner was an orphan, he had no private land in the village.
If she returned to the countryside, she would have to go to work every day to earn work points, and she was not sure if she could endure the hardship of farming.
Although farming is glorious, it is also really hard work.
Whether it is for future development or something else, in this era when rural people need a letter of introduction to move to the city, staying here is the best solution for now.
At least there is enough food and clothing.
As the battalion commander, Gu Huai received a salary of level 17, which was 101 yuan per month.
In this era when the average salary is only 20 or 30 yuan, this salary is very high.
Although Gu Huai did not like the original owner, and it was his mother, Ms. Zhao Changying, who forced him to marry her, but every time his salary was paid for the past two months, he gave the original owner 90 yuan each month and only kept 10 yuan for himself.
The army also distributes some daily necessities every month.
Under these conditions, if you stay here now, you can eat well and dress well.
Yu Hui grew up in an orphanage and suffered a lot. Her biggest wish as a child was to eat lots of delicious food.
But after working for only a few years, illness made her isolated from delicious food, and she could only look but not eat.
Now that she has a healthy body, she doesn't want to let her mouth suffer.
It’s better to stay here for now. After a few years, when people are allowed to start their own business, I can divorce Gu Huai.
Anyway, Gu Huai looked down on the original owner and had never slept with her, so naturally he wouldn't touch her.
She just treated Gu Huai as her boss who paid her salary every month, and her job was to help him take care of the children and manage the household.
When they get divorced and have some money, she will rent a small shop and open a snack bar, and then expand it step by step to create greater glory.
Because she loves to eat delicious food, she also loves to study it. Although she worked in accounting related to her major after graduating from university with the support of the state, her greatest pleasure in her spare time is to study food.
So, her cooking skills are not bad either, and all the colleagues who have eaten her food say it is good.
She helped Gu Huai take care of the children for several years. When they divorced, it was only right for him to give her some money, and she felt justified in taking it.
Now that she had made her plan and was no longer worried, Yu Hui felt more relaxed.
Today is Saturday. Seven-year-old Gu Dongzheng and Gu Nan are playing marbles outside in the yard with eight-year-old Yu Lixin.
Three-year-old Gu Xi had a dirty face and squatted aside, watching.
"Gu Dong, Gu Nan, your stepmother is back." Yu Lixin looked up and saw Yu Hui walking from a distance, so he said to Gu Dong and Gu Nan.
Gu Xi turned his head to take a look, but Gu Dong and Gu Nan didn't even look at him.
Gu Dong snorted, "Come back if you want."
When his father comes back, he will tell his father about Yu Hui, the vicious stepmother who abuses Beibei, and ask his father to divorce her and remarry his mother.
"Brother Lixin, it's your turn now." Gu Nan reminded.
Yu Lixin lowered his head and continued playing marbles.
Seeing his stepmother approaching, Gu Xi stood up and called out "Mom".
Yu Hui saw a few children squatting and playing outside the yard from a distance. She paused slightly when she heard a child with a small cat-like face, covered in dirt, and round eyes, about three years old, calling her "Mom".
This child matched the third child Gu Xi in the original owner's memory. In the memory, the third child Gu Xi was a follower of his two brothers. He would do whatever his brothers did and make trouble along with them. However, compared with his two brothers, his attitude towards the original owner was not as repulsive.
When he is hungry or thirsty, he will still take the initiative to find the original owner, and will listen to what his father Gu Huai said before and call her mother.
"Gu Xi, why are you yelling? She is not our mother." Gu Dong glared at Yu Hui and pulled his third brother Gu Xi.
Yu Hui glanced at the boy who was speaking and matched his face with Gu Dong, the boss in the original owner's memory.
Gu Dong is seven years old and is already in the first grade of elementary school. He is the person in the family who is most hostile to the original owner. Not only is he extremely rude to the original owner, he also always causes a lot of trouble for the original owner.
For example, he would deliberately dirty the clothes he had just taken off and ask the original owner to wash them. After the original owner washed and hung the clothes out to dry, he would deliberately knock down the bamboo rack on which the clothes were hung.
For example, he was picky about the food cooked by the original owner, and he and his second brother, five-year-old Gu Nan, caught bugs and put them on the original owner's body and bed.
For example, she deliberately let Gu Xi wet the bed at night, forcing the original owner to get up at night to wash his butt, change his clothes, and change the sheets and quilt covers.
Just taking care of four children and handling household chores was enough to exhaust the original owner.
The original owner, who was honest and kind-hearted, did not take it to heart despite being teased and bullied by them, and continued to take care of them with all his heart.
But what they got in return was that they accused her in front of everyone of abusing them and not giving them meat to eat, and she became a vicious stepmother that everyone hated.
