Chapter 112 Jin Yuyan's Noisy Argument
The two calmed down for a while before going to the cowshed.
Jiang Ning was led by Shen Mo to the cowshed. During this time, Jiang Ning had become familiar with the villagers, and many of the village's single young men had designs on her.
However, Jiang Ning's relationship with the brigade leader's family was unusual, and no one dared to have any ulterior motives towards her.
Seeing her being led by a man who had never appeared in the village before, the passing villagers frequently turned their heads to look.
When they arrived at the cowshed, the Shen family was already there.
When Shen's parents saw Shen Mo, Shen's father's eyes were unpredictable, but he could still see some excitement. Shen's mother's eyes instantly turned red, her eyes filled with shock and disbelief, and her tears flowed like a kite with a broken string.
A mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles, let alone the two elderly people who haven't seen their second son for several years.
Their son is in the military, and his life could be in danger at any time. How could they, as parents, not worry?
It took a long time before Chen's mother stopped crying.
Jiang Ning went over to comfort her at the right time, saying, "Mom, you are recuperating, so you must avoid extreme joy or sorrow."
Now, Shen's mother listens to Jiang Ning. After being sent down to Dahe Village for several years, her health deteriorated. But with her second daughter-in-law's arrival, she no longer feels as weak and powerless as before, and is now full of energy every day.
All of this is thanks to her obedient second daughter-in-law.
Mother Shen didn't refute Jiang Ning's words at all, and patted Jiang Ning's hand, saying, "Okay, Mom will listen to you."
Shen Mo was somewhat surprised. He knew that with Jiang Ning's personality, there was no one she couldn't win over if she wanted to, but this was the first time he had ever seen his mother listen to anyone other than his father.
Jiang Ning took the meat that the brigade leader had brought back after paying the money coupons. Jiang Ning personally cooked a few dishes, and then the whole family happily gathered around the small table in the cowshed.
It's winter now, so Jiang Ning likes to finish cooking the soup last, so she can have a warm drink while eating.
Shen Mo was used to helping Jiang Ning. He was tall and big, and when he stood in the kitchen, he took up all the space.
Shen's mother and Shen Qianqian wanted to help, but they couldn't squeeze in.
Shen Mo saw Jiang Ning's hair, which she had tied up with a wooden stick, suddenly come loose.
"Shen Mo."
Jiang Ning called out subconsciously.
She had barely uttered a sound when Shen Mo had already retrieved the fallen wooden strip and retied Jiang Ning's hair.
Judging from Shen Mo's practiced manner, it didn't seem like this was his first time doing something like this.
As Chen's mother watched their interaction, a smile that was hard to describe appeared on her face. At the end, her shoulders swayed quite a bit, clearly indicating that she was trying not to laugh.
Her second son, before he joined the army, was not a very obedient person, and he had a rather mischievous personality.
I never expected things to turn out like this after I got a wife.
Look at them, the men who came to see them can't take their eyes off their wives for a moment.
As Jin Yuyan watched, the sense of disappointment in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She even glanced at her husband beside her and thought, "What a useless thing!"
They were brothers born of the same mother, yet one was sent to this poor, remote place to suffer for five years, with no way to escape this wretched place, while his younger brother was completely unharmed.
Jin Yuyan already felt resentful because her sister-in-law was too beautiful, and she lost completely to men as well!
In that instant, she sensed the enormous gap between the two of them.
As Shen Mo carried the soup over, Jiang Ning followed him and, as if sensing something, met Jin Yuyan's gaze.
Jiang Ning is somewhat sensitive to people's emotions. From the moment she arrived in Dahe Village, her sister-in-law seemed to harbor some inexplicable hostility towards her.
At first, I didn't notice much, but as time went on, people's true colors became apparent.
The relationship between her sister-in-law and brother had actually reached the point of breaking down, but neither of them dared to take that final step.
As time went on, Jin Yuyan talked to her about Shen Mo more than once, seemingly trying to get information about Shen Mo's current situation from her.
As for the other party's purpose, she couldn't figure it out for the time being.
She's always too lazy to think about things she can't understand.
It's been a long time since the whole family has enjoyed a warm meal together, chatting about everything under the sun.
Then Jin Yuyan suddenly asked tentatively, "Brother-in-law, it's almost the new year. Do you think our family has a chance to return to the capital this year?"
Jin Yuyan's question was actually a bit too hasty.
But she really couldn't take it anymore. She had endured five years, but after seeing Jiang Ning, she became more and more impatient. She was proud and hated being outshone by others.
But her sister-in-law is doing better than her, and hasn't suffered a single bit of hardship. Now, the sense of loss in her heart and the imbalance in her life are becoming more and more pronounced.
As soon as Jin Yuyan said this, both Shen's father and Shen Ziming gave her disapproving looks.
Although Shen Mo was in the military, everything in the military was classified, and even if Shen Mo knew something, he couldn't say it.
Unaware of these matters, Shen's mother and Shen Qianqian were also curious about their family's current situation. If they could really return to the capital, that would be wonderful.
Shen Mo had already inquired about his family's situation with his superiors and received the answer: the time for the Shen family to return to the capital was not far off.
The people sitting in the house were all family. It was only because it was a remote village that there was no news. In places like the capital, those who were purged were all purged. This was already news and not a secret. It wouldn't hurt to tell family members.
Jiang Ning has now realized the purpose behind Jin Yuyan's constant inquiries about Shen Mo.
Shen Mo opened his mouth as if to say something, but his leg under the table was suddenly kicked.
He subconsciously glanced to the side and met Jiang Ning's gaze. Shen Mo swallowed back the words he was about to say, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I've never heard of being able to go home after being demoted."
Jin Yuyan was utterly disappointed. She had initially thought that Shen Mo had become some high-ranking official after seeing Jiang Ning, but it turned out she had been overthinking things.
She had worked diligently and conscientiously for a month, but in the end, it was all for nothing.
The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. Jealousy and resentment completely overwhelmed her reason. Jin Yuyan slammed down her chopsticks and bowl, no longer in the mood to eat. "You guys eat, I'm not eating."
Shen Ziming grabbed Jin Yuyan, who was about to leave after throwing down her bowl and chopsticks, and said gently, "Yuyan, don't be angry."
Jin Yuyan couldn't stand his pathetic state. A grown man who couldn't do anything right and looked utterly useless.
"I'm throwing a tantrum? Shen Ziming, if you weren't such a coward, would I be throwing a tantrum at you? You used to only do those useless research projects, and then someone reported you. Were you happy then? You even dragged me down to this godforsaken place to suffer!" Jin Yuyan's temper flared, and her grievances and anger surged up, becoming increasingly outrageous. In the end, she even started blaming Jiang Ning—
"And you, the new bride we're meeting for the first time, you seem to be living such a good life, yet you didn't bring us any practical gifts. Don't you see it's winter now, and everyone in the family is short of clothes? And you, you're wearing the finest clothes..."
Snap——
Before she could finish speaking, she was slapped across the face, silencing her words.
Jiang Ning never expected that this would involve her.
She had actually planned to bring a gift to the Shen family from the beginning, but the Shen family was still in a state of being demoted. If she brought something that would attract attention and was reported by someone with ulterior motives, she probably wouldn't even be able to get a visitation permit.
