Chapter 475 Sacrifice
That day, Lin Yuzhu was resting, and Shuyao took her brother to Zhou's house to play early in the morning. Zhao Yanshu heard that there was a new braised food shop nearby and it was good, so he planned to buy some back.
Lin Yuzhu felt it was too hot so she didn't go with him and just sat on a reclining chair under the porch in the yard to enjoy the cool air.
As a result, not long after I lay down, Old Mrs. Zhou came over.
Lin Yuzhu was a little surprised when she saw this. Why wasn't he at home with his son at this time?
After all, she knew that the old couple of the Zhou family had not seen their son for several years. She was thinking badly, and now that he had finally come back, shouldn’t they spend more time with him?
But she didn't ask any more questions. Instead, she greeted her warmly: "Aunt Zhou is here. Come and sit down. It's quite cool in this corridor."
After hearing this, Old Mrs. Zhou forced a smile on her face, said "Hey" and walked over.
It was only after she approached that Lin Yuzhu realized that her eyes were red, obviously she had just cried.
I was a little surprised, but I didn't have the courage to ask.
It was Old Lady Zhou who said, "Hey, Xiaolin, I want to talk to you, but Yilan is not here, so I don't know who to talk to. It's so uncomfortable to hold it in!"
When Lin Yuzhu heard this, she immediately said, "Aunt, just tell me what you want to say. I promise I will be a good listener!"
Old Mrs. Zhou was amused by her words, and her expression became less tense.
"Hey, he's my eldest son. After so many years, I finally got to see him. I tried to mention his marriage, but he got angry and ignored me all morning. Tell me, wasn't I doing this for his own good?"
Lin Yuzhu understood after hearing this. As expected, all parents urge their children to get married. But it was normal, after all, Zhou Yibai was indeed not young anymore.
"Then why doesn't Brother Zhou want to get married? Is he afraid of affecting his work?"
After all, they are soldiers. If they don't get married, they must be afraid that something might happen and make their families worry.
After hearing her words, Mrs. Zhou was stunned for a moment, then she sighed and shook her head.
"If it was because of this, it would be fine, but it's really not. I think he hasn't gotten over it yet."
After saying this, seeing Lin Yuzhu's puzzled expression, Mrs. Zhou explained.
It turned out that Zhou Yibai once had a girlfriend, who was his comrade-in-arms, but she was a military doctor. The two met during a mission and then fell in love.
They were originally planning to get married, but later the woman had an accident while on a mission and died.
Zhou Yibai's personality has become much quieter since then.
Originally, the old couple of the Zhou family knew that he might not be able to let go of that lesbian, so they never urged him to get married.
But seeing that Zhou Yibai is already in his thirties and it has been more than ten years since the woman's death, it is time to let it go no matter what.
But when Old Lady Zhou tried to bring it up today, Zhou Yibai got angry and said that he didn't plan to get married and that his family wouldn't need to take care of him in the future, as having Xiao Mo as their grandson was enough.
It made old lady Zhou angry!
In fact, Mrs. Zhou didn't urge him to get married in order to have a grandchild. She just felt sorry for her son who was still single at such an old age. She just didn't expect that her son didn't understand her.
She felt uncomfortable, but was afraid that if she continued to stay at home she would not be able to help but quarrel with him again, making the situation worse, so she came to talk to Lin Yuzhu.
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhu understood and somewhat understood Zhou Yibai's thoughts. After all, as soldiers, they sometimes do not have the final say in their own lives. He himself has endured the pain of his lover's death, and he is afraid that others will have to endure it in the future.
Of course, she also understood Mrs. Zhou’s thoughts. After all, no parent doesn’t want the best for their son.
It's just that this kind of thing has always been a dilemma since ancient times, but their starting point is for the good of the other party, so as long as they talk it out, everything will be fine.
So Lin Yuzhu patiently advised Mrs. Zhou.
