"Don't laugh at me, Sister Si, but before I married Lei Zi, he had no savings at all, except for a few changes of clothes."
Jiang Si found these words unbelievable.
Hu Meili was also extremely surprised, "Your Lei Zi's salary is not low."
The benefits and salary of the radar regiment were second only to those of the flight regiment.
Moreover, Deputy Regiment Commander Lei has been on many missions over the years, so how could he not have a single penny in savings?
"The salary isn't low, but it can't keep up with the fact that their family has five bottomless pits."
At this point, Xu Mingjuan's voice suddenly choked up.
"After his father passed away, his mother would find all sorts of ways to ask him for money, saying how difficult it was for her as a widow raising several children."
"She also said that Lei Zi is the only one in the family who is capable. If he doesn't help the family, how can she support such a large family on her own?"
"Lei Zi is soft-hearted. Before getting married, he sent all the money he had left home except for some for his own food expenses."
He told me about these things when we first started dating.
"He also told me everything about my parents' side."
“By then, his house in his hometown had already been built, and his younger siblings had all started their own families. He told his mother that after he got married, he would only send money back to support his family in his old age.”
Jiang Si asked, "Then his mother can't agree, right?"
Xu Mingjuan nodded: "But his mother is different from others. If this were given to other old ladies, they would definitely scold him for being an ingrate and for forgetting his mother after getting married. But his mother didn't say a word, nor did she come to the army to cry, make a scene, or threaten suicide."
"When we got married, she gave me a silver bracelet, and I was so touched."
"I still feel quite guilty, because I thought too badly of people before."
"After all, Lei Zi is also her own flesh and blood. It's really not easy for a woman like her to raise these children."
"So when I got pregnant and she offered to come and take care of me, I softened and agreed."
"In the months after she moved in, she took good care of me every day and cooked me different delicious meals every day."
"Everyone in the family compound says I'm so lucky to have such a good mother-in-law."
"I was stupid too, I actually believed it."
"It's funny to think about it now. Their whole family was used to asking for money."
"Now that Lei has cut off their source of livelihood, how could they possibly be willing to accept it?"
"But... I just didn't expect this person to be so ruthless."
Since entering the house, Xu Mingjuan had been suppressing her emotions.
Even when she was very sad, she only choked up twice, but at this moment she could no longer hold back.
