When the ministers saw the little princess's expression, they couldn't help but feel excited again.
Jun Baozhu turned her head slightly, wanting to look back...
But because he was wrapped in swaddling clothes, he couldn't turn over.
Sigh in my heart:
[Father! This man's wife should be greatly praised! ]
The emperor heard this and turned his daughter towards him.
I heard my daughter continue in her heart:
[He has been in the army for eight years. He was supposed to return to his hometown after one year of service...]
[But his parents, instigated by his two younger brothers and sister, asked him to continue to stay in the army...]
[Even though he was married before joining the army, his parents required that the salary he received must be handed over to them for management...]
[It is called management, but in fact it is the expenses of the whole family. 】
[The two younger brothers below, one has just reached adulthood, the other is fourteen years old, and the younger sister is thirteen, neither of them is considered young...]
[Help to work in the fields, do some needlework, and also help to supplement the family income...]
[But they don't! As a matter of course, they enjoy the money their elder brother gets from guarding the border...]
[Even if they reach the age limit and can return home, I am worried that when my eldest brother comes back, he will have to use his money to support his sister-in-law, or if they have children, the family expenses will increase...]
[So, they all agreed to ask this person to stay in the frontier army and guard the border for others in exchange for extra money.]
[This wait lasted for eight years...]
Jun Baozhu's voice was calm, and although childish, her tone was serious.
[But Father, this is not the point...]
[This man’s wife is very virtuous. She has many sisters and her family cannot afford a generous dowry...]
[Even so, when this man married, he didn't have any decent betrothal gifts.]
[But the husband’s family, the parents-in-law, the brother-in-law, and the sister-in-law often scold the daughter-in-law in person...]
[It is said that the son and the eldest brother could have married the daughter of a richer family, but their family was unlucky, so they had to marry this one...]
As soon as the voice fell, a low whisper was heard among the ministers and examinees.
Most of the time, they said such humiliating words to the families of the soldiers and the new wives they had married into the family...
Some feel indignant.
Jun Baozhu could not hear what was in her heart or their reactions.
I continued in my heart:
[This is not the worst! ]
[The money this man worked so hard to send back fell into the mother-in-law's pocket as soon as it arrived...]
[If your clothes are torn and can’t be worn, or if you want to sell cloth to make two pairs of shoes or a set of cotton shoes for your husband, you can send them to him...]
[They will be scolded by their parents-in-law! ]
[I am sick and want to ask my mother-in-law for some change to go to the clinic for a checkup and medicine...]
[She will be insulted by her mother-in-law again, saying that our family is unlucky because an eagle pecked out our eyes, which is why we let this person who can't lay eggs and is full of money come in! ]
[With no money to treat her illness, my wife is too weak to get up from bed. Not only is there no one to take care of her, let alone ask about her health...]
[I would also be dragged out of bed by my mother-in-law and scolded by my father-in-law because my two younger brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law complained that the meal was not ready yet and they were hungry! ]
“That’s too much!”
“It’s just bullying!”
......
Finally, the discussions among the ministers and the soldiers waiting for the exam began to grow slightly louder.
I feel that the behavior of the soldiers and their family is really infuriating!
The soldiers themselves clenched their fists, their faces turning ashen.
In some cases, although he could guess some...
After coming back, En heard some stories from his neighbors and learned that his wife had suffered a lot during the time he was in the army.
But none of them are so detailed.
His blood suddenly boiled, and he felt sad, angry and aggrieved, with his face and eyes filled with guilt towards his daughter-in-law.
[My wife is gentle and kind, and she is not the type to fight for things...]
[My daughter’s family members were all honest and timid. When they came to visit my daughter, they were not welcomed and were ridiculed by her husband’s family members. They almost never came again.]
[While this man was in the army, his wife not only had to cook, but also take care of the family's daily life...]
[She didn’t get a cent of the salary her husband sent back, and was often criticized and abused...]
[She originally thought that as long as she was gentle, filial to her parents-in-law, and sincerely treated her brother-in-law and sister-in-law as her own brothers and sisters...]
[There will always be a day when they will be enlightened...]
【But in fact, some people's hearts cannot be warmed. 】
[The wife remained calm and found some work doing sewing and laundry...]
【Do some work while they are resting or not here, and send it out after it is completed. 】
[Although the salary is meager, it is better to accumulate a little bit than to have nothing. ]
[After saving a few taels of silver, the wife bought good wine and food and sent them to the soldiers who were responsible for mailing military pay and letters in the army...]
