Chapter 1467 Getting Worse
Knowing that the girl was weak and couldn't work after marriage and had to rest well, a lot of people advised Mr. Zhai to marry anyone better than this sickly girl, who could help him take care of the family.
But Mr. Zhai was like a demon, and insisted on marrying the girl.
Three years after the two got married, she didn't get pregnant. So, some people said that the girl had a disease from her mother's womb, and it seemed that she would not only die young, but also be a hen that couldn't lay eggs.
At this time, World War II broke out, the country was in chaos, and the people's lives were particularly difficult.
It was said that Mr. Zhai's decision to join the army was based on an incident at that time. The Japanese invaded China and did countless bad things. The "Three Alls" policy also made the Chinese hate them. The village where Mr. Zhai lived had a good harvest every year. Of course, it was very easy to be targeted at that time.
When Mr. Zhai heard that the Japanese would insult Chinese women as soon as they met them, he became angry. After confirming the news that the Japanese had a small team of only a dozen people with guns, they were going to come to his village to steal things. Mr. Zhai had murderous intentions and simply organized the villagers to wipe out this Japanese team.
After burying these Japanese for more than ten years, Mr. Zhai took the guns and shells found from the Japanese for himself and organized a militia team in the village to protect the village.
This was later heard by a Red Army officer, who was impressed by the talent of Zhai. He wanted to recruit him. Zhai's family was well-off in the village. When he was young, he went to a private school in the town and was literate and sensible.
If Zhai's conditions were not so good, he would not have become the village grass and been stared at by so many young girls.
On the other hand, Zhai could read, so his knowledge was different from that of ordinary people. He knew that without a country, there would be no home. Even if he is capable and works with the villagers to protect his family, as long as China does not completely defeat the Japanese and drive them out of the country, things like today will happen from time to time in the future, and there is no way to eradicate them.
He wants to protect his own family, and the first thing he should do is to protect the country.
So, Master Zhai made a decision that surprised everyone in the village: he decided to join the army.
Everyone was very surprised to hear this answer. The girl that Master Zhai married was in poor health and was particularly coquettish, but Master Zhai liked her. Everyone in the village knew that Master Zhai protected his wife as if she were his own eyeball. I'm afraid that the girl's luck for several lifetimes has been used up on meeting such a good man like Master Zhai.
The problem is that once Master Zhai joins the army, there will be no one to take care of this sickly girl. Master Zhai is really willing to let her go. Isn't he afraid that when he leaves, the girl will suffer from headaches and fevers without his care, and die? Master
Zhai is certainly not such an unreliable person. He made good arrangements for Grandma Zhai's life before he left. Grandma Zhai is very supportive of Master Zhai's career and told him that before she married him, she lived well for 18 years.
It doesn't make sense. She has only been married to him for three years. Once she leaves him, she can't handle her life and will starve to death. It is better to rely on yourself than on others. She will definitely take good care of herself and wait for Master Zhai's return.
After the couple agreed, Master Zhai went to join the army with only one set of clothes and two pairs of shoes that his wife had made for him. Coincidentally, the night before he left, the most precious mother in the village who could not lay eggs was pregnant. Fortunately
, the timing was right. Usually, Grandma Zhai did not like to gossip and never interacted with men. Master Zhai had just joined the army, and the villagers were willing to pay more attention to Grandma Zhai. Therefore, the old people and men in the village knew that the baby in Grandma Zhai's belly must be Master Zhai's.
Ten months later, the child was born.
As Zhai Yaohui's eyebrows and eyes grew, no one in the village doubted who the father of the child was. Given that Zhai Yaohui and Old Master Zhai look exactly like each other, no one would believe that they are not father and son.
Grandma Zhai survived such a difficult time. Even without her husband, she still raised Zhai Yaohui into a strong boy. Gradually, the villagers changed their attitude towards Grandma Zhai. Although she was a little weak, she could give birth to a child, take care of the child, and take care of the family. She was considered a good woman. During
the time when Old Master Zhai was not around, everyone thought that Grandma Zhai and Zhai Yaohui were doing well. Only Zhai Yaohui understood how difficult it was for his mother to raise him. If it weren't for him, his mother wouldn't have such a bad health. She didn't enjoy a few years of happiness after the founding of the People's Republic of China. She only had time to see her grandchildren before she passed away.
Grandma Zhai's early death can be said to be a wound that cannot be touched in the hearts of Grandpa Zhai and Zhai Yaohui.
For so many years, Grandpa Zhai has always missed Grandma Zhai, but rarely discusses his past with Grandma Zhai in front of the whole family. It's no wonder that Miao Liang looked frightened when it was mentioned today.
"Dad, eat more vegetables." Miao Liang didn't have much impression of her mother-in-law. As soon as she got married, her mother-in-law was already sick and lying in bed. She only saw her twice a day. Every time she went to take care of her mother-in-law, the smell of medicine in her mother-in-law's room was so strong that it was suffocating. Of course, it's not that Miao Liang doesn't want to take care of her seriously ill mother-in-law. It's that Mr. Zhai doesn't like to leave things to others, so he does it himself.
Mr. Zhai said that after he married Grandma Zhai because of the war, they only spent three years together, and not much after that. Now that their daughters-in-law have moved in, and the country is at peace, he can be considered to be by Grandma Zhai's side.
After Zhai Shengdu was born and weaned, Grandma Zhai didn't make it through, and she died at the beginning of the next spring.
After all, Mr. Zhai had accumulated a lot of hidden wounds during the war. Zhai Yaohui performed well and joined the army early and made great contributions. In this way, the superiors tacitly accepted Grandpa Zhai's retirement and gave Zhai Yaohui more opportunities to compensate for his early retirement.
When Zhai Yaohui was determined to climb up, Grandpa Zhai had not yet completely recovered from the pain of losing his wife. Miao Liang silently took on everything at home. Not only did she have to take care of the elderly and children, but when she was outside, she was also ridiculed and made things difficult by Qi Minlan. It can be said that the two or three years after Grandma Zhai passed away were also the two or three years when Miao Liang had the hardest time. It was not
