Xu Zhiyi and Qin Zheng spent two happy days in their hometown. Since Zhang Yumei and Xie Heng had just returned, Liu Pan'er and Xie Dazhu did not deliberately make things difficult for them during these days.
Xie Hehua pushed the door open breathlessly and shouted at Liu Pan'er who was feeding chickens in the yard, "Mom, mom, come here quickly, I'm so angry."
"What's wrong with you? Who bullied you?"
"They're not bullying me, they're talking about my third brother behind his back."
When Liu Pan'er heard this, she immediately put down what she was holding and walked over.
"Who said third brother? What did they say about your third brother?"
"They said that the wife my third brother found was not the wife of Qin Zheng from the Qin family."
Liu Pan'er slammed the table and said angrily, "Bullshit! They are just jealous that the third son found a wife whose family is an official."
"Mom, but what they said is true. Do you know how many good things Qin Zheng's wife brought back? More than what my third brother brought back. They said Qin Zheng's wife even bought a watch for Qin Hongyi."
"What? What did you say? A watch? You bought a watch for Qin Hongyi?"
Liu Pan'er said in disbelief, "Hehua, you must have heard it wrong. This watch is not something else. A watch costs more than a hundred yuan. How can a daughter-in-law from outside be so good to her in-laws? You must have heard it wrong." As she said that, Liu Pan'er was about to get up and continue to feed the chickens.
Xie Hehua grabbed Liu Pan'er and said, "Mom, I really didn't hear it wrong. If you don't believe me, wait for Zhaolong to come back and ask him."
"Zhaolong also knows? How did he know?"
"Zhaolong was saying outside that my third brother and his wife had brought back a lot of good things, and he said it specifically in front of the two kids from the Qin family. When the two kids heard Zhaolong say that their second uncle was not good, they told everything.
The two children from the Qin family said that their second uncle and second aunt brought back a table full of fabric, a pair of PLA shoes and Warrior shoes each, a whole bag of snacks, and a watch for their younger sister-in-law. Now everyone outside is saying that the daughter-in-law Qin Zheng found is filial and generous.
Liu Pan'er covered her chest and said, "When Zhaolong comes back, we'll ask him about this. We have to let your father know about this."
Xie Hehua asked in confusion: "Why, mother?"
Liu Pan'er poked Xie Hehua's head and said, "You are so silly! Although your father is happy that your third brother married a city girl, he is also eager to have the opportunity to suppress your third sister-in-law. Now is the perfect opportunity."
Xie Hehua flattered, "Mom, you and Dad are so smart and wise."
Liu Pan'er raised her chin and said proudly, "That's right, don't you see who your mother is?"
Xie Hehua thought to herself: Whenever my father suppresses my third sister-in-law, I will speak well of her and let her know that I am of the same mind as her. This way, their relationship will be better and my chances of becoming an officer's wife will be much greater.
That night, everyone in the Xie family knew about this. Although they didn't say anything on the surface, they all wanted to ask Xie Heng what was going on. Who was Qin Zheng's partner? What did his family do?
After dinner, no one in the Xie family, young or old, returned to the house. Instead, they all sat there, waiting for Xie Dazhu to speak.
As the head of the family, Xie Dazhu naturally couldn't argue with the younger generation, especially since this wasn't their own family's business. So, Liu Pan'er, the spokesperson, came on board.
"Third brother, what does Qin Zheng's girlfriend's family do? They're so rich, and yet they spend money on a watch."
The second daughter-in-law, who had been stopped by Xie Laoer, saw Liu Paner speak and started talking too.
"His Third Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. We are all family, there is no need to hide things. We also have to know what Qin Zheng's wife does. We are just curious.
Hey, you know what happened today and what people outside are saying. We also want to know the truth. Don't let hearsay affect you all the time."
Zhang Yumei resented Xu Zhiyi's gift of a watch. She cursed in her heart: "Xu Zhiyi is the only one who has money? She actually gave a watch to a peasant. She really has money but nowhere to spend it. You have to know that she has been working for so many years and still doesn't have a watch. How can a peasant like her live better than me?"
Xie Heng looked at Xie Dazhu's face cautiously, and couldn't open his mouth to say anything.
What should he say? Say that Qin Zheng is capable enough to become the commander's son-in-law? Or that Qin Zheng found someone better than his wife? He couldn't afford to lose face.
Zhang Yumei looked at the eyes of everyone present and said sarcastically, "Huh, Mom, are you envious of the Qin family? Are you dissatisfied with me?"
Liu Pan'er slapped her thigh and said, "Hey, what are you talking about, kid? I'm just asking, but look at you, what are you saying?"
"Mother, sister-in-law, you just want to know where Qin Zheng's wife comes from and whether her family is rich. Mother, just ask directly. It's not like your daughter-in-law won't tell you."
"Third sister-in-law, are you very familiar with Qin Zheng's wife? Do you two know each other?"
"Second sister-in-law, of course we know each other, and we are very familiar with each other."
Xie Hehua asked anxiously, "Third sister-in-law, what is her family background?"
"Her mother is a capitalist, and a remnant of the Qing Dynasty."
When these words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
Xie Laoer's daughter-in-law yelled, "Third sister-in-law, what did you say? Qin Zheng found a princess?"
Zhang Yumei nodded. "You could say that."
"Since Qin Zheng found a princess, why did he get promoted? Third brother, he's even become a regiment commander?"
Otherwise, how could I thank the second son's daughter-in-law for her eloquence? She really woke me up from my dream.
