Zhang Dabing said to Liu Pan'er with a cold face: "Mother-in-law, what do you mean by this? It was my daughter Yumei who asked Xie Heng to return to her original unit, but you have to figure out, who did my daughter do this for?
My daughter is doing this for your son, so that he can spend the rest of his life in a good unit with opportunities for promotion. Mother-in-law, I'm a battalion commander in the Capital Army's logistics department. To get your son Xie Heng back to his original unit, I've not only spent money, but I've also been begging everyone. Who do you think I'm doing this for? It's for your son Xie Heng.
And mother-in-law, you're unhappy with Yumei now and have complaints against our Zhang family. But what about back then? Why didn't you seem dissatisfied with our family and my daughter Yumei? I'm telling you, if you had come to our house and told us you were unhappy with Yumei as our daughter-in-law, I, Zhang Dabing, would never have let Zhang Yumei marry your son, Xie Heng.
That's right, Xie Heng. You were a regimental commander back then, but Xie Heng, tell me honestly, are the troops in the capital short of regimental commanders? Are they short of capable people? Are they short of competent soldiers?
Xie Heng, let's not talk about anything else, let's talk about your marriage to Yumei. Our Yumei is a city dweller, a nurse at the Capital Military District Hospital, and a technical secondary school graduate. Although I'm just a small battalion commander in the logistics department, I'm still a soldier. Our daughter is beautiful, well-endowed, and educated. She resolutely married you, a widower with three children, in what way do you think Yumei is unworthy of you?
Xie Heng was stunned when he heard this. Zhang Dabing seemed not to notice Xie Heng's expression and continued, "Xie Heng, I don't know what has happened to your relationship with Yumei over the years. But Xie Heng, I don't mean to blame you now. The reason I'm telling you so much is entirely for your sake, as well as for Yumei's.
Xie Heng, even if Yumei is doing something wrong, you and Yumei have been married for so many years, and your child is so grown up, how can you still act like a child? Xie Heng, even if you don't care about Yumei and the child, then for your own sake, you have to live a good life in the eyes of others.
After listening to Zhang Dabing's words, Xie Heng thought a lot. The scene when he first saw Zhang Yumei and the scene when he and Zhang Yumei just got married flashed through his mind.
At the same time, after listening to Zhang Dabing's words, even though Liu Pan'er was still very angry and wanted to retort Zhang Dabing, she didn't know where to start, so she could only swallow her anger.
Xie Zhaochi, who was originally sitting at the dinner table, sat on a stool and watched the scene calmly. When Xie Zhaochi looked up and saw Zhang Yumei's tearful face and Xie Heng's somewhat soft-hearted expression, Xie Zhaochi immediately burst into tears.
"Dad, Aunt Yumei's dad, he is right. Although Aunt Yumei has done many wrong things, you have to forgive Aunt Yumei, not for others, even for brother Zhaorui." After saying that, Xie Zhaochi quickly stood up and walked in front of Zhang Dabing.
"You must be Aunt Yumei's father and mother, right? Hello, I am my father Xie Heng's son."
As soon as Xie Zhaochi finished speaking, Xie Heng's face suddenly turned ugly. He said to Xie Zhaochi coldly: "Zhaochi, go back to the room. A junior like you has no right to speak here."
Xie Zhaochi's crying became louder and louder. "Dad, I know I'm a junior and I don't have the right to speak here, but I don't want to see you being wronged like this."
Then Xie Zhaochi cried directly to Zhang Dabing, "Grandpa, according to my brother Zhaorui's way of calling you, I should call you Grandpa.
Grandpa, that's not the case. You've wronged my dad. Ever since he married Aunt Yumei, he's been devoted to her. He's even forgotten about us three siblings back home because of her.
Originally, after Dad and Aunt Yumei got married, the three of us should have followed Dad from our hometown to the Capital Military Academy. However, Dad was worried that Aunt Yumei would not be able to adapt to the three of us children all at once, so Dad asked the three of us to stay in our hometown for more than a year. It was not until Dad and Aunt Yumei came to this army and completely adapted to it that Dad called and asked the three of us to come here from our hometown.
Grandpa, after my three siblings and I came to the army from our hometown, we all witnessed with our own eyes how Dad treated Aunt Yumei. You can't scold my dad.
Aunt Yumei didn't want to work anymore. She didn't want to be a nurse in the hospital anymore. She didn't want to endure all the humiliation in the hospital. Although my father didn't understand at the time and he tried to persuade Aunt Yumei, he saw how determined she was. In the end, he didn't have the heart to let her continue working. Instead, he let her stay at home to take care of the children.
Ever since Aunt Yumei lost her job, all of the family's expenses have been covered by Dad's salary. Even when Dad and Aunt Yumei were first married, Aunt Yumei never gave Dad her salary; she kept it all for herself. And even after Aunt Yumei lost her job, until Grandma came to live in the family compound, she kept Dad's salary, giving him only ten yuan a month.
