"What are you saying? What do you mean you can't make ends meet? Where did you learn that from?"
"Did you learn that from Cunzhi's mother? She's a shrew who dominated Cunzhi's father her whole life, and now she's trying to get you to break up with me?"
"You can't keep playing with her."
Zhao Mingtian was somewhat unhappy.
Of course, his feelings for his wife couldn't be "love," nor could he be so desperately in love with her that he couldn't live without her.
He was just used to her being around, used to having her in the house, so he never thought about separating from her.
Hearing her so bluntly say that they should break up now made him feel uneasy.
Ye Yulian smoothed her hair. "What's wrong with you? How many years have I been hanging out with Suwen?"
“We’ve known each other for twenty years and been neighbors for so many years. You never said anything before, but now you won’t let me play with Suwen.”
What do you mean?
They never told her not to hang out with Chen Suwen before, but now they're accusing her of being corrupted by Chen Suwen?
"Tell me the truth, you really think I'm annoying and are just making excuses to talk about me, right?"
"If you don't want to live here anymore, you can move out on your own. I believe that with your current length of service, you can apply for a single dormitory room."
"Anyway, you're not going to let me leave on my own. I've lived here for twenty years, and there's no way I'm going to move away."
Ye Yulian remained calm. If the old man couldn't stand her, he could move out himself; there was no way she would move away.
"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly move out?" Of course, Zhao Mingtian couldn't move out either; why would he want to separate?
His children are all grown up, and now is the time for him to enjoy life. Has he gone mad and moved out to live on his own?
He doesn't want to do everything himself.
Ye Yulian glanced at him sideways, "Just tell me, why did you suddenly go crazy?"
Zhao Mingtian had previously called Chen Suwen a shrew, but Ye Yulian had retorted.
Now they've brought up the old issue again, and even told her not to associate with Chen Suwen.
Ye Yulian touched her hair.
Did she not know how capable Chen Suwen was?
It would be so much better to be friends with Chen Suwen than with those idle people who only know how to gossip about others?
When Zhao Mingtian saw Ye Yulian pressing him for answers, he looked away and said nothing.
Ye Yulian could tell from his expression that something was wrong, so she leaned over and pressed him for details, saying, "We've been husband and wife for almost thirty years, I know you very well."
"What are you hiding from me? Has someone told you something?"
Ye Yulian looked at her son and daughter-in-law. Could it be that they had complained to Zhao Mingtian?
But Chen Suwen's family shouldn't have affected their family's interests, right?
Even if it's her daughter-in-law's idea, how could it influence the old man?
Zhao Mingtian remained silent, and Ye Yulian angrily slapped his shoulder, "What are you dawdling about, old man? What exactly happened? Tell me!"
"That old codger, so hesitant and clumsy, not at all efficient."
Ye Yulian was so anxious that she even brought out her hometown accent.
Seeing that she was truly angry, Zhao Mingtian briefly shared his thoughts and what someone had told him.
After listening, Ye Yulian looked at him like he was an idiot, making Zhao Mingtian feel very uncomfortable.
Why are you looking at me like that?
"When did you become so stupid?" Ye Yulian blurted out, then quickly wondered how she could have ever fallen for such a stupid man back then.
While it's true that smart men aren't always good, this foolish man must have caused her a lot of harm.
"How dare you call me stupid? Are you so smart?" Zhao Mingtian wouldn't allow Ye Yulian to say that. He was the head of the family, how could he be spoken to like that by her?
Ye Yulian didn't care what he thought, and snorted coldly, "You're no match for Cunzhi's father. He's already an eighth-level welder, and what about you? You're still a sixth-level welder."
Yes, during the time Chen Suwen was in Yunnan Province, Zhou Qingyun quietly promoted himself to a higher rank.
He rose from a level seven welder to a level eight welder at less than fifty years old, which is quite young.
Zhao Mingtian was clearly two or three years older than Zhou Qingyun, but Zhou Qingyun was already an eighth-level welder, while Zhao Mingtian was still only a sixth-level welder.
How could he possibly maintain his mental balance?
Zhao Jianhua sat opposite his father, listening to his parents' conversation with a calm expression. "Mom, this is only human nature. Everyone has feelings of jealousy."
Hearing this, Ye Yulian turned to look at him. "What? Are you also envious and jealous of Cunzhi?"
Although Zhou Cunzhi did not get promoted to Level 5 welder like his father, his salary and benefits were better than before.
He's been tinkering with a lot of things with his father, and he's recently won quite a few bonuses and prizes. It's very likely that Zhao Jianhua saw this and was envious and jealous.
"A little," Zhao Jianhua answered honestly. "It's mainly because Uncle Zhou is more capable. As Uncle Zhou's son, I can understand why Cunzhi is more capable."
It's understandable that Zhou Qingyun would give his son extra training to improve his skills.
Many people pass on their secret skills and unique abilities to their sons, which is only natural and he can understand.
Although he was envious and sometimes jealous, he didn't avoid associating with them because of jealousy.
Actually, it was because he felt that it would be better if he could learn some techniques from the Zhou family father and son.
"You're alright, you take after me in that respect. Although you're a bit jealous, you're not that heartless."
