Xie Heng looked at Zhang Yumei's loud roar and was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He just kept saying, "Zhang Yumei, you have a good education and you have a job. You are not a shrew from the countryside. Look at what you look like now."
Facing Xie Heng's roar, Zhang Yumei no longer had the heart to talk nicely and directly became angry, "Xie Heng, you are asking me now, you are asking me why I became like this. Isn't it all because of you that I became like this?
Ever since I married you, I have been planning for you wholeheartedly. In order to allow you to return to your original army, I asked my father to use his connections to find people for you, just to prevent you from going to Hainan Island to suffer. But what about you? What did you do?
Ever since I came to this army with you, I've given up my job so I could take good care of you and our family. I've even sacrificed my dignity to socialize with the peasants in the countryside. For you, I've completely lost myself. My heart is completely focused on you, so you can strive to climb the ranks in the army, so you can save every bit of effort, so you can gain a good reputation with the commanders. I've done so much for you, but what about you?
You're now seizing a case with no evidence to throw dirty water at me. The Xie Heng incident is long over. If you really think I'm that kind, I admit it. In the eyes of outsiders, it's me who did it, so let them say whatever they want. But you can't do this to me. We're one and the same.
Xie Heng, if you had direct evidence pointing to me, I wouldn't be arguing with you like a shrew. But do you have any? You don't have any evidence, so Xie Heng, let's just forget about this and live our lives peacefully, okay? You can't erase everything I've done just because of this unsubstantiated rumor.
Xie Heng, as long as you forgive me and make your own decision to let your mother join the army, I won't argue with you. Is that okay?
Xie Heng, you have been in this family compound for so long, it is impossible that you don’t know what kind of people are here.
I believe you know much more about this than I do. Do you think that your mother, an illiterate rural woman, can do anything for you?
She can't, and she might even get into trouble and have you clean up her mess. So, Xie Heng, the only one you can rely on is me."
Xie Heng listened to Zhang Yumei's words and was indeed convinced by her. Even if his mother came, she was the only one he could rely on. But in Xie Heng's heart, he was not sure whether he could rely on Zhang Yumei now.
Besides, his mother will be here tomorrow, so Zhang Yumei has no choice but to agree even if she doesn't want to.
Xie Heng looked down at Zhang Yumei who was slumped on the ground crying loudly, and sighed, "Don't cry, Zhaochi and the others are all asleep, do you want to wake them up?" After saying that, Xie Heng frowned and looked at Zhang Yumei.
Zhang Yumei quickly stopped and wiped the tears and snot from her face. "Xie Heng, I won't cry. Can you forgive me?" After saying that, Zhang Yumei looked at Xie Heng with anticipation.
Xie Heng nodded. "I can forgive you, but I hope this is the first and last time. If it happens again, you'll just go back to your parents' home."
Zhang Yumei quickly agreed: "Xie Heng, I will listen to you. I promise there will never be a next time." After that, Zhang Yumei saw Xie Heng fall asleep directly.
However, before Xie Heng fell asleep, he once again reminded Zhang Yumei not to forget to make a bed for his mother tomorrow.
At this moment, Zhang Yumei no longer dared to tell Xie Heng that she didn't want Liu Pan'er anymore, for she was afraid that Xie Heng would get angry again.
At the same time, the quarrels between Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng once again woke up Xie Zhaochi, Xie Zhaoshen and Xie Zhaorui in the next room.
Xie Zhaorui burst into tears in the house as soon as he heard the quarrel between Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng. Xie Zhaochi frowned and listened to the quarrel between Xie Heng and Zhang Yumei, then turned around and looked at Xie Zhaorui.
"Second brother, please stop him from crying."
Xie Zhaoshen hurriedly coaxed Xie Zhaorui and said, "Brother, I thought I wanted to coax him, but he just cries too much."
A moment later, just when Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng finished arguing, Xie Zhaorui also stopped, completely exhausted from crying, and fell asleep.
Xie Zhaochi and Xie Zhaoshen looked at Xie Zhaorui who had finally fallen asleep and whispered, "Brother, Dad has called grandma over. Do we still have a good life?"
Xie Zhaochi was also thinking about this matter. After all, although Liu Pan'er favored boys over girls, her favorites were her eldest son, her youngest son, the three grandsons born to her eldest son, and Liu Pan'er's youngest daughter Xie Hehua.
Xie Zhaochi shook his head. "I'm not sure, but in this family, our father definitely has the final say. Besides, he's very proud, and he won't allow anyone to lose his face. As long as we maintain his face both internally and externally, we won't have a bad life."
"Brother, what should we do with Tianqiu? Grandma will definitely let Tianqiu work." As he said that, Xie Zhaoshen looked at Xie Zhaochi with a worried look on his face.
Xie Zhaochi comforted her, "Don't worry. I'll talk to Dad about letting Tianqiu go to school someday. As long as Tianqiu does well and ranks among the best in the class, even if grandma doesn't want to, Dad won't treat Tianqiu badly."
Xie Zhaoshen breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good, big brother."
The next day, before Xie Heng left for the army, he once again urged Zhang Yumei to pack up quickly so she wouldn't be left without a place to stay by the time Liu Pan'er arrived. If she did, she would be criticized by outsiders.
Zhang Yumei didn't dare to act rashly and quickly agreed to Xie Heng.
At the same time, Xie Heng, Xie Zhaochi and Xie Zhaoshen walked out of the house together.
On the way, Xie Heng asked Xie Zhaochi and the other two whether they were adapting well here, and also asked them about their studies.
Xie Zhaochi and Xie Zhaoshen both answered one by one. However, just as the three of them were about to separate, Xie Zhaochi said, "Dad, although Tianqiu is not yet old enough to go to school, Dad wants Tianqiu to go to school earlier."
Seeing Xie Heng's puzzled face, Xie Zhaochi continued, "Dad, this is what I think. Zhao Shen and I grew up in the countryside, and it's really hard for us to be in the army. So we thought about letting Tianqiu go to school earlier and receive education here earlier. Then, learning will naturally be easier for him."
