Another day of waking up with her back aching. Thinking about last night, Ye Zhaozhao started cursing Gu Yunduan again, wondering why he had so much stamina, as if he could never have enough.
Fortunately, he was infertile, otherwise she was worried that if things continued like this, she would have to become a mother before she could even enjoy her life as a couple.
When she got up, she found that Gu Yunduan had already cooked goat milk for her and prepared breakfast.
Honey was added to the goat milk, which not only made it less fishy but also added a touch of sweetness. After she finished breakfast, Sun Xiuhua and the other two came to her door with some yarn.
Ye Zhaozhao took out melon seeds, peanuts, dates, and lard candy to treat everyone. Today's main purpose was to learn how to knit sweaters, and Ye Zhaozhao studied very diligently.
Seeing how serious she was, and looking at the color of the yarn in her hand, Sun Xiuhua joked.
"Zhaozhao, did you knit this for your Battalion Commander Gu?"
"Well, this is my first time knitting. I'll try knitting a vest first to see if it works."
"It'll definitely work, you're so skillful."
Chen Sufeng ate a date as she ate. Dates were a good thing for them, as they were good for replenishing qi and blood. However, she didn't eat many. Ye Zhaozhao saw that she liked them and told her to eat more.
"By the way, do you guys know why Lin Meimei came here this time?"
Chen Su-fen said mysteriously, "Sun Xiu-hua was wondering why she came. It's because her sister is pregnant and needs someone to take care of her. Didn't everyone hear that yesterday?"
"No, Lin Meimei's sister came to the military region this time because she wanted to find an officer to marry."
Lin Xue has two older brothers, both of whom are married. She is an older sister-in-law who doesn't work and stays at home all day, so her two sisters-in-law complain that she is in their way.
The elderly couple discussed it and decided to let Lin Xue find Lin Meimei. They even hoped that she could marry an officer from the military. No one expected it to turn out this way.
"There aren't many unmarried officers left in our military region."
"Yes, it's not that easy to find a military officer as a partner. If it were that easy, all the educated youth in the village would have been married long ago."
What Chen Sufeng said was true. However, two days later, everyone saw Lin Meimei taking Lin Xue out for a blind date. They didn't know who she was dating.
That's all in the future. Now, they're talking about Ye Qianxue again.
"To be honest, I originally thought that stepmothers wouldn't be genuinely good to their children. This Ye Qianxue is really something else. I heard that the three children have meat to eat every meal, and she even bought them fabric and made them new clothes."
Chen Sufeng learned all this from Xu Pandi, who was also her stepmother. She became closer to Ye Qianxue.
"Yes, I also took the eldest and second eldest to school."
Ye Zhaozhao didn't say anything. She didn't care what happened to Ye Qianxue. Right now, she just wanted to live her own life well. By noon...
They were about to leave when Ye Zhaozhao gave each of them a handful of candy and dates. The three of them couldn't refuse and had to take them.
Ye Qianxue, in an effort to please the three children, had been buying them meat to eat, and the fifty yuan she brought with her had already been spent.
That evening, she asked Shen Yihan for money, but he only gave her ten yuan. Ye Qianxue thought that ten yuan was not enough to buy her a few meals at restaurants.
"Yihan, where is all the money in the house? I can find it myself when I need it."
"If you don't have money at home, be careful with your spending. There should be limits to how good you are to the children."
Ye Qianxue felt wronged. It wasn't her who ate the meat, and she didn't even want to be good to the child. What did she mean by saying the family had no money?
She knew that Shen Yihan was the deputy battalion commander, and his monthly allowance was 110 yuan. Even though he had three children, he couldn't possibly spend that much.
When pressed by her, Shen Yihan finally revealed why he didn't have any money.
He sends fifty yuan and fifty jin of fine grains to his ex-wife's family every month. This way, he has enough money left over each month to raise his child, so he has no way to save money.
Ye Qianxue was unhappy. Why should money and food be given to others? If this continued, how would they survive in the future? She was about to make a scene.
Shen Yihan said he was doing this for the good of the family. If he didn't send money back, they would come to the military region and cause trouble, which would escalate the situation.
Not only will it affect his future career, but his past mistreatment of his ex-wife will also be brought up again.
Thinking that Shen Yihan was about to be promoted, Ye Qianxue thought that everything should be done with the big picture in mind. As long as he was promoted and the children were successful in the future, would she still have to worry about not having a good life?
Thinking about how Ge Yuqiu had come to talk to her about work during the day, she thought that it would be good to work and earn money to help support her family, after all, she was a college student.
"Yihan, Sister-in-law Ge told me today that there's a job in the logistics department. Should I go?"
She hadn't discussed it with Shen Yihan yet, so she didn't agree to Ge Yuqiu's request. She didn't dare say that the reason Ge Yuqiu considered her first was because she had given him two jin of meat.
Ge Yuqiu thought the same way. Although they were both military wives, Ye Qianxue seemed to know how to get along with people. She not only took the initiative to befriend her, but also gave gifts to her family.
"No need, we'll be frugal. My money can support you both. You just need to take good care of the children. I don't need you to work."
Shen Yihan disagreed with Ye Qianxue going to work. He thought that if she went to work, how could she take good care of the child? It has to be said that Shen Yihan is a very selfish man.
Worried that Ye Qianxue might treat their son badly, he said he didn't plan to have any more children. Even so, Ye Qianxue had no choice but to agree. Anyway, the children were successful, and as long as they were treated well, it didn't matter.
"I'm going to wash the dishes."
"Go."
Ye Qianxue took the bowl to wash, while Shen Yihan lay down on the bed and started smoking. He didn't even pick up the crying child to comfort him; all he did was call for Ye Qianxue.
