Hao Chunhua looked puzzled: "Why did your father retire from the army? It wasn't him who pushed him."
The youngest son frowned and said seriously, "Because you are my father's wife, you caused the death of his comrade's child. He has no face to stay in the army."
The eldest son sighed again, his face full of disappointment, and said, "Mom, you used to be greedy for small gains, but after my older cousin came for two months, how did you become just as inhuman as her?"
After saying that, he didn't look at Hao Chunhua again, picked up the dishes, turned around, and walked out.
After his older brother left, the younger brother gave Hao Chunhua a deep look and said seriously, "Mom, the consequences of you following your older cousin's example are minor—being sent back to the village by my father. The real big deal is that you committed a crime that day and went to jail."
After hearing her youngest son's words, Hao Chunhua felt as if she had been hit hard on the head. She suddenly remembered what Hao Yuanyuan had told her before she went back.
“Aunt, didn’t you say that Battalion Commander Fu’s wife has been in the army for a while and you haven’t heard any news about her getting pregnant? If she still isn’t pregnant in another year or two, you can write back and tell me that she can’t have children, but I can.”
After thinking all this, her whole body trembled uncontrollably, her eyes filled with regret. She looked at her youngest son and said, "I won't follow her example, and I won't let her come to our house again."
"Really?" the younger son asked, half-believing.
"Really, hurry up and get your bowl and eat," Hao Chunhua said, forcing herself to stay awake.
...
Su Yue woke up from her afternoon nap and was feeding Ping An when she suddenly heard a knocking sound at the door.
Fu Shen quickly went out to open the door, and when he came back, he had a look of doubt on his face. He said to Su Yue, "It's Sister Zhang. She said she needs to talk to you."
Sister-in-law Zhang? Su Yue was slightly taken aback, a little confused, racking her brains to think about who this Sister-in-law Zhang was.
After a moment's thought, she remembered that it was Zhang Lanhua, whom she usually called Aunt Zhang.
It's been a while since I've seen her, and suddenly this Sister Zhang appears; I really can't remember her for a moment.
"Did she say what it was about?" Su Yue asked.
Fu Shen shook his head, looking somewhat confused. "No, but the way she looked at me was very different from before."
Su Yue: "What kind of?"
Fu Shen frowned: "With a touch of pity, and also sympathy."
"Pity, sympathy?" This only intensified Su Yue's curiosity.
After Ping An finished eating, Fu Shen gently carried him around the room, while Su Yue went out on her own.
With a gentle smile on her face, she said, "Aunt Zhang, it's been a long time. Fu Shen told me you wanted to see me. What is it?"
At that moment, Su Yue instantly understood what Fu Shen meant when he said Zhang Lanhua looked at him with a hint of pity.
Because Zhang Lanhua looked at her with even more pity in her eyes, and even warmly took her hand, her tone full of emotion: "I used to think that I was the person with the most miserable life, but I didn't expect that you were even more miserable than me."
Su Yue looked bewildered. "Aunt Zhang, what are you saying? I don't understand."
Zhang Lanhua pulled Su Yue to sit down on a chair and said solemnly, "I've already heard from someone named Su Xiaomei about why you and Fu Shen got together."
