"What's the big deal? I'm happy for you to come anytime." Aunt Zhang waved her hand and said as she closed the door.
She had always liked Yunbei, who not only cured her illness but also taught her to identify herbs. Now, she had earned a lot of private money from the herbs.
Now that I have money, I feel more confident and no longer have to live my life under the influence of my daughter-in-law.
Thinking of this, she was filled with gratitude towards Yunbei. If it weren't for Yunbei, how could she live such a comfortable life now?
Director Liu was a little surprised when he saw Si Nanzhao and Yunbei coming over with their children, but he was also very happy. He smiled and said, "What brought you here?"
"Auntie helped Yunbei a lot today, and we came here specially to thank you." Si Nanzhao answered as he put down the gift he brought.
When Aunt Zhang came into the house and saw that Yunbei and the others had brought gifts, she immediately became unhappy and said, "Yunbei, what's wrong with you? You came here at the right time, but why did you bring anything with you? Take it back later, or I'll be angry."
"Auntie, this isn't a good thing. It's just to nourish you. I hope you're in good health so you can support me in the future. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened today."
After Yunbei finished his kind words, Aunt Zhang smiled again and said, "If you have any problems in the future, just come to me."
"Okay!" Yunbei also agreed with a smile.
Several people from Director Liu's family heard the conversation between the two and were a little confused. They asked, "Sister-in-law, what happened today? How come we don't know?"
"It's nothing serious." Before Yunbei could reply, Aunt Zhang spoke first, saying, "Do you know the Wang family in the compound?"
"I know him. Wang Guozhu, I know him. What happened to his family?" Director Liu, as the director of logistics, naturally knew Shi Tou's father. After all, he was also a battalion commander, wasn't he?
"His family..." Aunt Zhang told Director Liu and his wife what happened at noon. Director Liu and his wife were speechless and asked, "Why is their family like this?"
"That's right, I think Xiuqin is a good person." Director Liu's wife Hong Mei and Shi Tou's mother Cheng Xiuqin are colleagues. They have frequent contact with each other and have a good impression of her.
"Not a bad ghost. I think she is the most thoughtful person in their family. Usually, it is Grandma Shitou who is the bad guy, and she is the good person behind the scenes. I don't believe that she doesn't know what kind of person her mother-in-law is. But have you seen her persuade her? Has she tried to stop her? No."
Hong Mei thought about it and realized that it was just as her old lady said. They were all family and lived under the same roof. It was absolutely impossible for Cheng Xiuqin to not know what kind of person her mother-in-law was.
After all, they hadn't been together for just one or two days, or one or two months. They had been together for several years.
Before Wang Guozhu got promoted, Cheng Xiuqin was at home taking care of the old man. Later, when Wang Guozhu was promoted to deputy battalion commander, she came to join the army. Of course, besides her and the child, her mother-in-law was also there.
They had been together for at least seven or eight years. It was absolutely impossible for them to not know each other's character after such a long time.
Thinking of Cheng Xiuqin's usual friendly and easy-going demeanor, Hong Mei felt a little uncomfortable. Since they were both military wives and lived in the same compound, their relationship was quite good.
Now, Hong Mei suddenly realized that Cheng Xiuqin was a rather deep-minded person. It seemed that it would be better for her to have less contact with her in the future.
Director Liu is a man, so naturally his thoughts aren't as delicate as a woman's. Hearing my mother say Cheng Xiuqin was deep-minded, he couldn't help but defend her: "Can't she? She doesn't look like someone who thinks deeply. Besides, as a daughter-in-law, how can she persuade her mother-in-law?"
As soon as he said this, he was immediately stared at with two sharp eyes.
Feeling that his mother and wife were angry, Director Liu didn't know where he was wrong, and stammered, "Did I say something wrong?"
"Humph, she can only deceive you men. No wonder Wang Guozhu is so easily controlled by her. Let me tell you, even though Granny Shitou looks powerful, she has the final say on all matters in the family, big or small."
"Impossible?" Director Liu still didn't believe it, which made Aunt Zhang a little angry. She said, "I think your brain is in my stomach. You can't see such an obvious thing, and you are still a director. I think you should quit as soon as possible."
"Mom, just talk about others, why do you involve me again?" Director Liu was speechless and looked at his mother with a resentful face.
"Okay, I won't talk to a blockhead like you." Aunt Zhang was a little unhappy. She stopped paying attention to her son and looked at Yunbei and said, "Yunbei, you offended that old woman today. Be careful of her revenge. I tell you, she is very mean. Once, a soldier's wife had an argument with her, and the next day she dumped garbage all over the door."
"Oh my god, she's still like this. This is too much. She even took out the trash, and no one said anything?"
"Go ahead, why is no one saying anything? But you know her, she's a scoundrel. How could she listen to what others say? Instead, she makes those who say it extremely angry. So now, everyone in the entire family compound dislikes her and avoids her when they see her."
"It seems that the military wives are so easy to talk to that she feels she can just walk sideways."
"Everyone just doesn't want to bother with her."
Yunbei didn't stay long at Director Liu's house before returning home. After all, it was evening and he had to go to work the next day, so he had to go to bed early.
However, on the way back, Yunbei was thinking about something Hong Mei had said inadvertently, that is, Cheng Xiuqin would take a day off on the fifth of every month to go to the county town.
Because she was so engrossed, Yun Bei didn't see the road clearly and almost fell. Fortunately, Si Nan Zhao was there to help her up, otherwise she would have tripped.
"Wife, what are you thinking about?" Si Nanzhao supported Yunbei and asked puzzledly. Yunbei had been in a bad state since they left Director Liu's house.
"Nothing." Yunbei shook his head. He was on the road at the moment, so it was hard to say anything. If someone had ears and heard what he was saying, it would be troublesome.
And now it's just her guess, there is no evidence yet.
Yunbei withdrew his thoughts and looked at the road seriously. When he returned home, Yunbei said to Si Nanzhao: "Can you help me find someone to keep an eye on Cheng Xiuqin?"
"Okay, why are you staring at her?"
"Don't ask so many questions. Just tell me whether you can help me or not."
