There was no smoke coming out of the chimney of the kitchen at home, and the stoves were cold, so it seemed that no one was cooking.
Xie Jianguo felt even more puzzled.
In the past, even if his father and mother had a quarrel, Zhao Xiulan would always fail to cook.
What is happening now?
When Zhao Xiulan saw Xie Jianguo coming in, she immediately rushed over, "Jianguo, your father doesn't want to live with us anymore. He, he wants to destroy our family! Wuuuuu..."
As she spoke, she began to slap her thighs and cry, sitting on the ground and making a fuss.
Xie Jianguo's brows were twisted into a knot. He really couldn't stand Zhao Xiulan's tantrum.
He pulled Zhao Xiulan up and pressed her directly onto the chair, "Mom, if you have something to say, just say it nicely. Don't throw a tantrum. Dad isn't home and no one is watching."
Zhao Xiulan's hand, which was about to slap her thigh, suddenly froze, and even the next words of crying came to an abrupt halt.
She looked at Xie Jianguo in almost disbelief.
The pair of eyes that usually sparkled with shrewdness were now wide open.
It seemed as if she had not expected him to do this to her.
Zhao Xiulan opened her mouth, but the words that were about to come out were stuck in her throat and no sound came out.
Xie Jianguo naturally realized something and sighed helplessly.
"Mom, while Dad is away, if you have anything to say, just tell me so that we can find a way to solve it. It's not a good idea for you to make such a fuss."
Zhao Xiulan thought about it and her eyes flickered. It seemed to be the same truth.
After a moment, she finally spoke through gritted teeth, "It's still that cripple Xie Yu! Today your father went to the information center to propose marriage to that little bitch Chang Suisui!"
Having said this, she unconsciously clenched her hands into fists, wishing she could rush to the educated youth institute right now.
When she thought about the dowry and other things she had to pay, she felt pain in her heart!
Upon hearing this, Xie Jianguo's face darkened slightly, but then he quickly regained his composure.
If it were before, he would definitely care about Xie Gui taking things from his home to give to Xie Yu for his wedding.
But now, none of this matters anymore.
Chang Meili has a mountain of gold in her hands, and his top priority now is to find a way to get this woman.
As long as she marries him, her future of wealth and glory will be just around the corner.
He will be a leader in the future.
That means others will never get the honor in their entire life!
And he is about to gain both fame and fortune!
So what does this little bit of betrothal gift mean?
He still couldn't see it.
Xie Yu was just an unknown soldier, but he had so much money.
If he becomes the chief, everything he will have is unimaginable!
Seeing that Xie Jianguo was indifferent, Zhao Xiulan's face became even uglier.
She reached out and pushed him, "Jianguo, did you hear what your mother said to you?"
When it was mentioned before that so much betrothal gifts should be prepared for Xie Yu, Xie Jianguo was also against it.
What happened today?
Zhao Xiulan was looking at Xie Jianguo strangely, and then she heard him say, "Mom, my dad has already talked about the betrothal gift. It's settled and can't be changed. It's useless even if you make a fuss. It will only make my dad more annoyed."
"Am I just going to watch him give money to Xie Yu?" Zhao Xiulan gritted her teeth the more she thought about it.
How can this be considered giving money?
This is clearly cutting her flesh!
Xie Jianguo looked at Zhao Xiulan's petty appearance, sighed silently, and then continued: "Mom, I have something to tell you."
Zhao Xiulan looked at Xie Jianguo's serious face and her heart skipped a beat. She had an inexplicable bad feeling.
She paused, then slowly asked, "What are you going to say? You're not going to ask for so much betrothal gift to marry Chang Meili, are you? Let me tell you, your father has emptied our family, and we have no money left."
Xie Jianguo curled his lips, "Mom, this is not what I'm talking about. I'm planning to join the army, I..."
"What?! I don't agree!" Before Xie Jianguo could finish his words, Zhao Xiulan's sharp and piercing voice interrupted him.
Her eyes were fixed on Xie Jianguo, her face full of anger.
Xie Jianguo thought that Zhao Xiulan would disagree, but he didn't expect her reaction to be so intense.
He frowned and tried to reason with her, "Mom, I..."
Zhao Xiulan didn't listen to Xie Jianguo's words at all. Instead, she grabbed his arm and asked, "Did that little bitch Chang Meili say something to you, so you want to join the army?"
Xie Jianguo choked, obviously because Zhao Xiulan had guessed his true thoughts.
This made Zhao Xiulan even more furious and she almost jumped up.
"She's so beautiful, I was wondering why she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to marry you, so this is what she was planning?! I'm going to tear her apart!"
Her face was full of ferocious anger, as if she wanted to vent all her dissatisfaction on Chang Meili.
As Zhao Xiulan spoke, she stood up from her chair, wishing she could find Chang Meili right now and tear her to pieces!
It would be fine if this bitch seduced her son, but now she is actually letting her son go to his death? !
If it were before, Zhao Xiulan would also think that joining the army was a good thing.
After all, Xie Yu is in the army and can take care of Xie Jianguo no matter what.
But ever since Xie Yu got into trouble and was sent back, she no longer had this idea.
After all, there is no mercy on the battlefield. If Xie Jianguo encounters that, who can she cry to?
Xie Jianguo is her most promising son, and he will be the one who will take care of her in her old age.
She couldn't let anything happen to her precious son!
"Mom!" Seeing this, Xie Jianguo quickly reached out and grabbed Zhao Xiulan, "What are you doing? I want to join the army on my own, it has nothing to do with beauty!"
Zhao Xiulan almost yelled, "Don't bullshit me! How can I, your mother, not know what kind of person you are? You didn't want to join the army before, and your father mentioned it to you several times but you didn't agree. Why do you suddenly want to join the army today? Isn't it that little bitch Chang Meili who instigated you?"
She seemed to have lost her mind and kept cursing Chang Meili.
Zhao Xiulan had always disliked Chang Meili, and now she wanted to skin her alive!
After hearing what Zhao Xiulan said, Xie Jianguo's face suddenly became a little embarrassed.
"Mother! What are you talking about? Can't I have any ideological awareness?"
Xie Jianguo wanted to say something, but seeing Zhao Xiulan's gloomy face, he could only change his words, "Mom, listen to me..."
"I won't listen!"
Zhao Xiulan turned her back and didn't look at Xie Jianguo.
This made Xie Jianguo speechless.
He couldn't say that Chang Meili had space.
After all, with his mother's big mouth, she will definitely tell everything.
By that time, he might not even become the leader, and Chang Meili might have been captured as an enemy spy.
Xie Jianguo clenched his fists, thought for a moment, and suddenly came up with an idea.
