Chapter 285 Is there any difficulty at home?
Yu Hui frowned, and after a while she said to Qian Lan, "Sister Qian, now that you can earn money on your own, you have to be tough."
"You are no longer a woman who relies on men to earn money. There is no need to swallow your anger and please others."
"Between people, there should be mutual respect. When your mother-in-law comes, if she is quietly recuperating and not causing trouble, you, as her daughter-in-law, should take care of her and be filial to her. If she acts like a demon and bullies others, you don't have to endure it blindly."
"If you tolerate breast hyperplasia for a while, you may develop ovarian cysts. Your patience and concessions will not only make you sick, but will also make others take advantage of you and make you more demanding."
Gu Hongmei nodded in agreement, thinking that her sister-in-law was absolutely right.
Qian Lan thought carefully about Yu Hui's words and thought to herself, yes, she chose to open a noodle shop with Xiao Yu because she wanted to make money and not be bullied by her husband and mother-in-law.
She earns so much money now, why should she endure it?
Just as Xiao Yu said, if Yu Qiang's mother can stay at home and recuperate peacefully without causing any trouble, she, as a daughter-in-law, will do her duty.
If he still wants to make trouble and bully her, she will not tolerate it anymore.
If Yu Qiang makes trouble with her, he will take leave to take care of his mother.
"You're right. I no longer rely on Yu Qiang for my living. I earn more money than Yu Qiang does. I need to be tough."
"Relationships between people are mutual. If she is a loving mother-in-law, then I will be a filial daughter-in-law."
After the sausages are stuffed, they are hung on bamboo poles under the eaves and blown by the wind.
The next afternoon, Yu Hui and Gu Hongmei took the marinated meat out of the jar, washed it, and hung it under the eaves to dry.
Let it blow for a few days, and then you can fumigate it directly on Saturday when the store is closed.
After get off work, Gu Huai strode towards the military family compound.
"Deputy Captain Gu."
Hearing a shout from behind, Gu Huai stopped and turned to look back.
The man who called him was in his early thirties. When he saw him stop, he jogged after him.
"Deputy Captain Gu." The man walked to Gu Huai, called out with a smile, and saluted.
"You are..." Gu Huai looked at the person who came. Although he felt that he looked familiar, he couldn't remember his name.
The man smiled and said, "My name is Li Zhuang, and I'm the quartermaster of the Sixth Company, Eighth Battalion, Fourth Regiment."
Gu Huai: ...I don’t know him.
Seeing that Gu Huai looked like he had never heard of this name, Li Zhuang didn't feel embarrassed and continued, "My son Li Dongdong is in the same class as your son Gu Dong. He even went to your house for dinner the day before yesterday."
"Oh..." Gu Huai suddenly realized, "So you are Dongdong's father."
As he said this, he stretched out his hand to shake hands with Li Zhuang, who stretched out both hands to shake hands.
"My Dongdong went to your house the day before yesterday. Did he cause you any trouble?"
"Dongdong is very well behaved and sensible."
Li Zhuang was very happy to see that Gu Huai had such a high opinion of his son. He felt that through the friendship between the children, there was a great chance for him to get in touch with Deputy Captain Gu and establish a good relationship with him.
"But..." Gu Huai changed the subject, and Li Zhuang immediately perked up. But what?
Gu Huai hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice, "Is there any difficulty in your family?"
Li Zhuang was completely confused.
Difficulties? What difficulties?
"My family doesn't have any difficulties."
There were some difficulties when they first got married because Pu Xianglan wanted a formal job, and the leaders of the military district had helped her find it. Xianglan went to work in a shoe factory three miles away from the military district and became a formal employee.
Although their family's current life is not as good as those in the upper class, it is still better than those in the lower class.
The lives of these dual-income families are basically not that bad.
"No?" Gu Huai frowned and said, "I saw Dongdong was wearing such thin clothes in the middle of winter. His clothes didn't fit him well, and he looked very thin. When he came to my house, his face was frozen blue. I thought there was some kind of problem at home."
"However, if your family is truly in trouble, you must report it to the organization. The organization will definitely not ignore it. Don't be afraid of causing trouble for the organization."
Li Zhuang's eyes twitched, and he was extremely embarrassed. He explained with a fake smile, "Dongdong is a naughty child. He fell into a ditch the other day and got his cotton coat wet. His other coat was wet after washing, so he went out wearing thin clothes."
"Deputy Captain Gu, you don't know that Dongdong has been born with a weak constitution. He's not very good at eating and is picky about food, so he's skinny and doesn't gain weight."
"Hehe..." Li Zhuang laughed awkwardly.
"Really?" Gu Huai smiled knowingly, "I saw that child was quite good at eating when he was at my house. He didn't seem like a picky eater. I didn't expect that he would have this problem of being picky about food."
"But as a father, you can't spoil your child too much. No matter how picky he is, you have to let him eat more."
"Those who know your child are picky, but those who don't know might think you're abusing the child! Doesn't this lead to misunderstandings?"
"Don't you think so?" Gu Huai smiled and patted Li Zhuang's shoulder.
The latter grinned and nodded, "Yes, yes, I will definitely not allow Dongdong to be picky about food anymore."
"Okay, it's time for me to go home for dinner. Let Dongdong come over to play more often."
"Okay." Li Zhuang responded with a smile.
Gu Huai waved at Li Zhuang and turned away.
Li Zhuang looked at Gu Huai's back as he left. The fake smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he walked towards home with his hands behind his back.
When Li Zhuang returned home, he saw Li Dongdong squatting in the dark yard washing clothes. He was still wearing the clothes that had been modified from his military uniform two days ago.
"Dad." Li Dongdong raised his head and shouted when he saw him coming back.
"Yeah." Li Zhuang responded, "What are you washing?"
Li Dongdong: "My younger brother fell into a ditch and his clothes got wet. Mom asked me to wash them."
Li Zhuang glanced towards the kitchen and through the glass window saw Pu Xianglan cooking inside.
"You wash it." After saying that, Li Zhuang went into the house, put down the things, and went into the kitchen.
"What are we having for dinner?" Li Zhuang asked as he walked to the stove.
Pu Xianglan said unhappily, "What else can I eat? Noodles."
Li Zhuang frowned. The water in the pot boiled. Pu Xianglan took out a handful of noodles from the cupboard and threw them into the pot.
She first lost two large fingers, and then three little fingers. The two large fingers were obviously hers and Li Zhuang's, and the same number of three little fingers were obviously those of the three children.
"Throw more." Li Zhuang said.
Pu Xianglan glanced at him and said, "That's enough. There's so much left. It's enough to eat."
"It's not enough, throw some more." Li Zhuang's voice became a little louder.
Pu Xianglan glared at him, "Li Zhuang, are you sick today?"
Thinking of what Deputy Captain Gu had just said, Li Zhuang felt embarrassed and took out a finger of noodles from the pot and threw it into the pot.
"Li Zhuang." Pu Xianglan shouted.
Li Zhuang took a deep breath, looked at Pu Xianglan and said, "Dongdong never gets enough to eat, can't you see?"
