In Zhang Dabing's house, Zhang Yumei had just entered the house and had not even had time to breathe when she was greeted with a burst of scolding.
"You still remember to come back, you damned girl! Look at what you've done. Now everyone in our compound knows that you rushed to marry a second wife and become someone's stepmother. It's really shameful and a misfortune for our family! Just wait until your dad comes back and see how he'll deal with you."
"Mom, you know those people in the family compound are all talkative. What good things can they say?"
"If you hadn't done it, if they hadn't caught you, what could they say? In the final analysis, you did it, and they caught you, giving them evidence that they could use to chew on our family's chances."
"Don't meddle in my affairs. I'm the one who decides my marriage. Don't bother with me behind my back."
"I'm your mother. I gave birth to you and raised you, but in the end I ended up with an ungrateful person like you. Say it again if you have the guts."
"Just say it!"
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of the door opening reached their ears.
"What are you arguing about? I heard you two bickering at home before I even walked in. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by others?"
"A joke? Everyone in the compound is already laughing at our joke."
Zhang Dabing asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?"
"Ask your good daughter what she did?"
Zhang Dabing said coldly, "Zhang Yumei, what did you do?"
"I didn't do anything."
"Oh, I didn't do anything. I don't dare to say it now. You were trying to force me just now. If you don't say it, I will. Your good daughter has fallen in love with a divorced man, and she wants to be his stepmother."
Zhang Dabing slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Asshole, is what your mother said true?"
"Is it true? Is there a problem?"
Zhang Dabing stared at Zhang Yumei, "Who is that person?"
"Who is that person?"
Zhang Yumei looked at Zhang Dabing's dark eyes and said tremblingly, "Xie Heng, the regimental commander who is studying at the military academy next door."
"Him? When have you seen him?"
Zhang Yumei tugged at her clothes, trying to figure out what to say, "I saw him in the hospital."
Yu Zhaodi watched the anger between Zhang Dabing and Zhang Yumei gradually disappear, and she felt so angry.
Thinking back on his first two daughters, none of them were as torturous as that damned girl Zhang Yumei. If they weren't allowed to go to high school, they wouldn't have gone. If they were told to get married, they would have gotten married. But Zhang Yumei insisted on going to a technical secondary school. She even took the initiative to tell Zhang Dabing about it, which earned her a scolding from him.
Now that I have finally caught her, I can't let it go to waste.
"Dabing, this little bitch... no, Yumei, she fell in love with a divorced man. Isn't this a slap in your face? I think we should marry her off as soon as possible."
Zhang Dabing looked at Yu Zhaodi's expression and cursed, "What do you know, a country woman? Do you know who she's into? All you do all day is gossip with the other women in the compound. You know nothing, you understand nothing, and what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhang Yumei watched Zhang Dabing's attitude change and Yu Zhaodi's helplessness towards her, and sneered.
"Yumei, you have good taste. I'll find someone to act as a middleman and introduce us someday."
"Dabing, what are you talking about? Why are you attracted to a divorced man? He..."
Zhang Dabing glared again, "Shut up. Even if Xie Heng is a second-married man, he deserves it.
Oh, why did I fall for you in the first place? One wrong step, then another!"
"Zhang Dabing, what do you mean by that? I gave birth to three daughters and a son for you, and I kept our house clean and tidy. What else do you want? If you despise me for being uneducated, then why did you seek me out in the first place? It's like you're the type of girl you'd expect from a city girl."
"Shut up! What are you talking about? I'm telling you, if I hear this nonsense outside, you'll be in trouble."
"As for Yumei's marriage, I have my own ideas. You don't need to worry about it."
"You, you heartless thing."
Yu Zhaodi looked at Zhang Yumei, who was standing beside her, looking complacent. "Get lost! Just wait for me. Sooner or later, I will deal with you."
"Mom, I'm your daughter. If I marry well, won't it make you proud?"
"What the hell are you dreaming about? What good is there in a country girl who's married for the second time and has three kids? Your head is full of shit!"
"It's like playing the lute to a cow. It's useless to tell you. Don't come to me for help when the time comes."
"Please? Go away."
The next morning, Zhang Yumei once again waited for Xu Zhiyi at the same place as yesterday. This time, Xu Zhiyi didn't just ride over, but stopped.
"Are you waiting for someone?"
Zhang Yumei looked at Xu Zhiyi who stopped right in front of her. She looked a little nervous and a little guilty.
"No. I didn't want to wait for you to go to work together."
"You need me for something? Something you want to tell me?"
"No, I just think we're from the same compound and should keep in touch with each other."
Xu Zhiyi looked at Zhang Yumei and continued, "Really? By the way, I heard you were going on a date. I wish you all the best."
"How do you know? What else do you know?"
Xu Zhiyi looked at the panic on Zhang Yumei's face and smiled, "What are you afraid of? Everyone in this compound knows about it. After all, your house was really lively last night. Do you have anything else to say?"
"It's okay, it's just that, do you know Xie Heng? Have you heard of him?"
"No. I have no plans to get married now. Even if I do, I will let my elders take charge." The implication is, you are nothing.
