While Liu Qiao was busy in the kitchen, Chen Yun slowly got up and dressed. A woman nourished by love naturally looked plump and juicy. When she went downstairs, Zhang Meixiang was very pleased to see that her daughter looked so good.
Jiang's mother and daughter were also sitting nearby. Jiang Jing saw Chen Yun coming downstairs and hurriedly served tea and water. Chen Yun yawned, obviously not having slept well. Zhang Meixiang asked with concern: "Go to bed early today. You guys have been out for dinner these few days. I'm afraid you are really tired."
Hearing this, Chen Yun had no choice but to nod guiltily.
Fortunately, Liu Qiao brought out the meal and asked Chen Yun to eat, so she went to the dining table.
The Gong Bao Chicken that Liu Qiao fried looked good, with brown chicken mixed with emerald green cucumber and peanuts. Chen Yun scooped a mouthful into her mouth with a spoon. Liu Qiao looked at her nervously. Chen Yun took another bite of rice before enjoying it and said, "Honey, it's delicious."
"Really? Is it really delicious?" Liu Qiao asked her tentatively, but he was afraid that Chen Yun had lied to him like last time, so he took a bite with Chen Yun's spoon and was relieved when he saw that it tasted good.
Seeing her husband's anticipation, Chen Yun finished all the food. Although she only ate a quarter of the dish, Liu Qiao knew that she usually only ate until she was half full at night, so he ate the rest.
Zirui just came back with his grandfather. Chen Sipeng now has only this grandson. This child is not only very handsome, but also has good grades and is very worldly-wise. With such a grandson, he did not treat him as a grandson-in-law, but raised him as his own grandson.
When the grandfather and grandson came back, Chen Sipeng said with a smile: "I have to say, Zirui is really amazing. Just now in our square, no one was better at skateboarding than Zirui." He was quite proud of him.
Zhang Meixiang repeated the same old tune: "Jingjing, you and Chen Feng should also hurry up and give birth to a grandson like Zirui. We two old people will be so happy."
She had said this before, because she and Chen Sipeng had their son when they were in their thirties, and as a result, they were almost sixty years old when their son got married. Seeing the neighbors all having grandchildren, she felt a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Jing was embarrassed for a moment. Jiang's mother wanted to say something to help, but she was still living in someone else's house and had to bow her head under the eaves. This time, Chen Sipeng and his wife agreed and it was inconvenient for them to say anything. Chen Feng didn't have a say at home like Liu Qiao did, so she didn't say anything either.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Let the birth of a child take its course. Don't put pressure on them. Young people already have a lot of pressure at work. You can't afford to wait for one or two years."
Zhang Meixiang always listened to what her daughter said, so she didn't pursue the matter. Jiang Jing was very grateful. Jiang's mother said she wanted to go home tomorrow. Although she was very comfortable here, this was not her home.
Zhang Meixiang was the first to object: "Oh, mother-in-law, if you go back now and something happens again, what will you do to Jingjing? You have to think about her too."
Jiang's mother laughed awkwardly: "It's not good for her to stay away from home all the time. Her father..."
Jiang Jing suddenly said calmly: "Mom, why don't you divorce Dad? I don't care about other people's opinions, I just care about whether you are happy."
"You child..." Mother Jiang couldn't continue. She wanted to say that she couldn't get a divorce for the sake of her child, but the child made her want to get a divorce now, and she didn't know why she should do so.
When the mother and daughter said this, no one else could interrupt. Jiang Jing knew that if she didn't really push them this time, her life in her husband's house would definitely not be easy. Now that they had torn their relationship apart, not to mention that she had no children, her husband had just taken over the company and was very busy, and he still needed his parents-in-law to help him. If she was rejected by her parents-in-law, her life in the Chen family would definitely be difficult.
Now she doesn't know whether the idea proposed by her sister-in-law is good or bad. It is almost forcing her to stop this behavior, and it may even cause her parents to divorce, otherwise she will not be able to live in peace in her husband's family.
"Mom, I'm not kidding. You're going to fight with my dad again when you go back. What should I do? If I ignore you, I won't be able to bear to see you get beaten up. If I go back to stop the fight, I'll be delaying my own business. I'm also a working person, and your son-in-law has just taken over the company. Can you please think about us?" She almost shouted these words.
Seeing her daughter in so much pain, Jiang's mother rarely saw her like this. Her daughter usually persuaded her silently. She thought that all her children needed was a happy family. She didn't expect that it was her children who persuaded her to divorce.
Then Jiang Jing continued, "Mom, if you are unhappy, I will not be happy either."
Originally, she thought the problem had to be solved by force, but from her daughter's words, Jiang's mother seemed to understand that the long-term violent behavior of herself and her husband had even made her daughter feel inferior, and she felt that only by getting a divorce could her daughter be free.
In modern society, it is uncommon for a girl like my daughter to be so flattering to her husband's family. If it weren't for herself and her husband, she wouldn't have to do this. She even treats her sister-in-law like a maid.
"Okay." She promised, "I'm going to have a good talk with your father when I get home this time."
It is said that after their one talk, Jiang's father and mother rarely quarreled. During one fight, Jiang's mother used the martial arts she had learned to knock Jiang's father down, and the Jiang family became peaceful again.
After playing in Jiangcheng for a few days, Chen Yun and her friends returned to Jiangning.
It is natural to be reluctant to say goodbye to parents. People grow older day by day. When we were young, we felt that the days were long, but now we always hope that the days can be shorter.
They also have their own things to do, and the interactions with their parents and relatives these days are enough.
As soon as she got back, Chen Yun went to find Xiao Zhen to make up for the homework that Zirui had missed. Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhen was more enthusiastic. She is now a member of the school publicity team and also shoots commercials. Although she did not take any notes, she still borrowed notes from someone and asked Zirui to write with her.
Chen Yun smiled and said, "Zhenzhen is a really enthusiastic child. However, you have to focus on your academic studies now, otherwise your mother's company will be taken over by you." She was actually doing this for Xiaozhen's own good. The child was young, and she and Xu Lijie were the only military wives in Longcheng who knew the inside story.
Xu Lijie likes Xiao Lan the most. Now I heard that she is trying her best to bring Xiao Lan and Zhong Yang together. If Xiao Zhen gives up studying without knowing anything, she will be the one who suffers.
Xiao Zhen said indifferently: "It's enough to have my sister in the company. My sister is studying very hard now. I just need to do what I want to do."
After she said this, Chen Yun didn't say anything else.
Only Zhang Han who was standing aside seemed to understand something. She looked at Zirui who was doing homework with Zhenzhen. He was only in high school but already 1.7 meters tall, with a straight white nose. He was exactly like a replica of Liu Qiao.
A mother knows her daughter's mind best. Xiao Zhen likes Liu Zirui, but Zirui doesn't like any girl and is still in the process of figuring it out. Their two families are old friends. It can be said that Xiao Zhen grew up with Zirui, so it would be great for the children to be together in the future.
Liu Qiao and Chen Yun might not like their daughter, who has no connection with the company. This couple is more pragmatic.
Chen Yun didn't know that her words made Zhang Han decide to let her little daughter study hard. She was still telling Feng Yu about her experience of going home!
She first talked about the situation at Liu Lu's home: "My eldest sister's mother-in-law passed away, and my father-in-law is now in a nursing home. They are the only ones at home. An An is now preparing documents for going abroad, saying that she wants to study in the United States. I brought you a photo, which I took with my phone."
Feng Yu put on his reading glasses and looked at Liao An on his phone. He said in disbelief, "Why is An An like a dough ball?"
Chen Yun was not in a position to comment on this, but Liu Qiao laughed and said, "Of course not. I told my brother-in-law to lose weight, but he didn't listen. He ate five bags of potato chips in one go. He couldn't even hold back."
The two elders looked worried, and Chen Yun persuaded them, "It's okay, actually. Young people will inevitably eat more as they grow. Just exercise more when the time comes."
Feng Yu's expression relaxed a little after she said this, and then he listened to Liu Zhiguo talking about the military district. He said, "Captain Fu of the independent regiment died. The drivers came out and went to the military district to call for help. When they went back, they were all suffocated to death."
Liu Qiao had also heard about this matter, but after all, they were not in the same division, so he didn't know much about it.
He knew that the leader of the independent group was only 39 years old and was very talented. He didn't know how many people were jealous of this position. Now he died young. He thought that there might be some conspiracy behind it.
Chen Yun was surprised: "Is Captain Fu's wife the one who works in the procuratorate? Her son is only five years old..."
She didn't know many people, but Captain Fu's son was a chubby boy. Chen Yun had met them last time when she went out for a walk. She looked at Liu Qiao and sighed, "Husband, you should put safety first."
Liu Qiao rubbed her head as usual: "Don't worry, I know."
There are not necessarily fewer things happening in the military than in society. Liu Qiao comforted Chen Yun verbally, but in his heart he only hoped that he could be more cautious.
Besides, when Chen Yun came back, she delivered local specialties to several familiar families. When she went to Cai Qijun's house, she was pulled aside and talked to for a long time. It turned out that she was going to meet her online friends and she was very excited.
Chen Yun frowned: "That's not good. You don't even know the other person, why are you meeting him?"
Cai Qijun smiled and said, "No problem. Let's meet in the city center. You can go with me. That person is from abroad. He is very nice. I want to open a flower shop, right? He told me a lot about flowers. He is an expert in psychology abroad. You can consult him if you have any troubles."
"Is that so?" Chen Yun asked in confusion.
Cai Qijun patted her shoulder and said, "What are you afraid of if we go together? Just think of it as accompanying me. Didn't I accompany you shopping last time?"
Thinking back to when she wanted to buy a skirt before and Cai Qijun had accompanied her for the entire day, she couldn't bear it, so she agreed.
