Chapter 77 The only recognized granddaughter-in-law!
"Grandma, I called home before submitting my marriage application. I also informed you before Yun Ying came to the army."
Feng Shuo held the microphone in one hand and rubbed his eyebrows with the other hand, coaxing him patiently.
The old man is not easy to coax and has a bad temper.
"Before getting married, that's before getting married. Going to join the army, that's going to join the army. What I'm asking now is, why didn't you report back to the army? How are you settling in? How are you two getting along? No matter how busy you are, shouldn't you have called or sent a telegram? Don't even mention asking for a photo together when you come back..."
Old Mrs. Feng was full of energy, and once she started talking, she couldn't stop.
Where is the feeling of being sick and hospitalized that Xiao Zhang just talked about?
Feng Shuo rubbed his eyebrows and pursed his lips.
He kept saying "hmm", not daring to say a single extra word.
Even the political commissar probably hadn't seen that frustrated look many times. He looked around from time to time and smiled secretly.
"We are all fine..."
Just like when I called Director Jiang, I only reported good news and not bad news.
As expected, there is always a conqueror, and Feng Shuo has his own old lady to deal with.
Hahaha!
Zhu Yunying rubbed the tip of her nose, tilted her head, and tried hard to hold back her laughter.
In the duty room, the sounds of fake coughing and clearing throats came one after another.
Feng Shuo held the microphone and was scolded. He turned his head and looked sharp, which made everyone else step back in embarrassment.
Zhu Yunwei was blocked inside by him and could not move, so she could only wait obediently.
"...Where's Yun Wei? Where's my precious granddaughter-in-law? You came alone to answer the phone, without even bringing your wife with you?"
Old Mrs. Feng paused for a moment, probably to drink some water, and soon she started shouting again in a clear voice.
Zhu Yunying took the phone and called out sweetly, "Grandma!"
"Why--"
Old Mrs. Feng responded cheerfully and long, and just from listening to her, you could tell that she was beaming with joy and must be very happy.
"Yun Wei, tell grandma if you like our Feng Shuo? That brat insisted on going to such a far place, thank you for your hard work. Originally, our family wanted him to stay in Jing City. When your mother and I discussed the child marriage, we also planned this. We hoped that you could go to Jing City... Hey! Border defense work is also very important. Young people have their own ambitions. If you find border defense hard, grandma will pick you up and take you back to Jing City, okay?"
Old Madam Feng was indeed talkative. She spoke a few words in a friendly manner, as if she was holding Zhu Yunying's hand and giving her instructions.
In his words, he praised Feng Shuo's hard work and selflessness, and also gave Zhu Yunying a reassurance, and assured her that the entire Feng family in Jing City would support her.
But the prerequisite is that she can really live with Feng Shuo.
“…”
Zhu Yunyao was a little hesitant.
Given the previous quarrel, she was really not sure how far she and Feng Shuo could go.
"Grandma, Feng...Brother Feng and I are still getting along! We can't predict what will happen in the future. But we will handle it. Grandma, don't worry too much. Your health is more important. Please take good care of yourself."
After careful consideration, Zhu Yunying decided to use the opponent's strength to her advantage. She did not try to smooth things over, but instead hinted at it and told Mrs. Feng that there was no hope at all!
Sure enough, she had just finished speaking.
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Feng Shuo, who was beside Zhu Yunying, frowned instantly and turned to look at her.
"Yun Yao..." Old Madam Feng sighed softly and said, "Yun Yao, ask Feng Shuo to go away. Grandma wants to talk to you privately. Don't let that brat eavesdrop."
The sound insulation of the old-fashioned landline telephone was not very good. Feng Shuo was standing next to Zhu Yunying and could hear the old woman's words clearly.
Feng Shuo hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head, grabbed the pen and paper on the duty desk, and quickly wrote a few words:
[Grandma's heart isn't very good, so just go along with her.]
The note was spread out in front of Zhu Yunwei, and Feng Shuo bent his bony knuckles and tapped on the word "Shun".
After knocking, he took half a step back.
"Yun Wei..."
Old Mrs. Feng pressed on the phone.
Zhu Yunying held the microphone tightly, stared at Feng Shuo, raised her chin and nodded towards the door.
"Grandma, he won't leave and wants to eavesdrop!"
The tone was soft and a little coquettish.
When Feng Shuo heard this, his eyes narrowed into slits and the corners of his lips drooped.
The woman in front of me was petite, her face rosy from running around, and her eyes were particularly clear. Facing the grandma on the other end of the phone, she didn't show any shyness at all, and even acted coquettishly as if she had found a backer.
If Feng Shuo had received this call before receiving the Haicheng investigation report today, he might have been very satisfied with the way Zhu Yunying got along with his family, and even proud of it.
But now, all that is left is confusion, entanglement, suspicion, weighing, doubt, and all kinds of emotions rushing up at once.
Feng Shuo's expression became increasingly cold.
He really had no intention of leaving the duty room, because he didn't know what Zhu Yunying was up to. He thought it was just a complaint, so he treated her as a game. But if she started talking nonsense, it was hard to guarantee that she wouldn't say something wrong and anger Grandma...
"Grandma, he still refuses to leave!" Zhu Yunying muttered again.
Old Mrs. Feng's voice became clear again, coming directly from the receiver.
"Feng Shuo, are you thinking of transferring back to Jing City again? Have you forgotten who supported you when you left Jing City? Now you don't even listen to grandma?! Cough cough cough... cough cough cough!!!"
Old Mrs. Feng’s acting skills are top-notch. Her voice was as loud as a bell just now, but immediately switched to a weak voice.
Feng Shuo had no choice but to leave and stand outside the duty room.
Zhu Yunying turned around and didn't look at the window glass.
"Grandma, he's out." The voice was sweet.
Old Madam Feng immediately softened her tone, "Yun Yao, I had a dream tonight. I dreamed that you wanted to divorce Feng Shuo, and that brat agreed. Then, Haicheng was liquidated, and your... irresponsible father and stepmother took away your job and wanted to snatch your engagement from Feng Shuo. Later, they ran away with the family property, and you had no choice but to be sent down to the countryside... I know it was a dream, but it was so unfair to you. If you really suffered, how would I explain it to your mother?"
“…”
As Zhu Yunyao listened, her eyes suddenly felt hot and her nose felt sore.
That was not just a dream, it was her original destiny.
"Grandma doesn't ask you to marry Feng Shuo. But Director Jiang told me that your mother is being posthumously awarded the title of martyr. Once the martyr title is granted, you, as the martyr's orphan, can be exempted from being sent down to the countryside. If you really don't like Feng Shuo, grandma will adopt you and find a better marriage for you later, okay?"
"Grandma..." Zhu Yunying's heart was filled with joy, and she nodded with a smile.
In the room, Zhu Yunying nodded and shook her head as she chatted.
Outside the house, the political commissar looked at Feng Shuo and said earnestly, "The old lady only reports good news and not bad news! I heard that she had a heart attack a few days ago and was sent to the hospital. No one at home is here, and it's all up to a little girl like Xiaoqin to take care of everything. As her brother, you have to show some appreciation."
When Feng Shuo heard his cousin Xiaoqin's name, he was slightly stunned, then nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I understand."
A few more pleasantries were exchanged in the room.
Before hanging up the phone, the old lady did not shy away from Zhu Yunyao, called Feng Shuo back, and continued to instruct him:
"Feng Shuo, take good care of Yun Ying. She is the only granddaughter-in-law I recognize, and you are not allowed to bully her!"
Feng Shuo had learned his lesson this time and just said, "Okay."
