Although Zheng Juan often quarreled with Old Lady Zheng in the past, as long as she took out the money, the old lady would immediately smile widely and then act out a scene of loving mother and filial daughter with her.
But this time, the treatment was completely different.
Because she came home with a black eye and bruised face.
After Zheng Zong left, Old Man Zheng was speechless. No matter what the old lady said to Zheng Juan, he did not respond and no longer tried to be a peacemaker.
Zheng Juan decided to return to the military compound tomorrow. She didn't want to stay in this home for even a second.
She also understood that if she was no longer the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family and no longer brought money home, this family would not need her at all.
But having a home is better than having no home at all.
She had a total of fifty yuan in her pocket. Zheng Juan found Old Mrs. Zheng and took out thirty yuan.
"Mom, this is for you. When my eldest brother comes again, you can give it to him. Just think of it as a gift from me to my nephew."
When Mrs. Zheng saw that there were actually thirty, almost a month's salary, she quickly put it away happily. "See, this is right! We in the Zheng family must help each other. Don't worry, your nephew will definitely be filial to you when you are old!"
Zheng Juan nodded and then returned to her room.
But she didn't feel anything wrong before, so why did it seem so wrong this time?
Zhang Fan thought about it and felt that this was not going to work. He had to go to the Song family tomorrow.
After dinner in the evening, Song Xin went to find Chen Chun.
Of course, it was under Ling Ju's repeated instigation that Chen Chun saw the unnatural expression on Song Xin's face when she entered the kitchen, and he immediately realized that something was wrong with this girl.
Ling Ju was observing the two of them in the living room and found that Song Xin was hesitating and not saying anything. She was so anxious that she wanted to go in and speak for Song Xin.
Song Xin kept looking at Ling Ju in the kitchen. Ling Ju kept making faces, which made Song Wei, who was sitting on the sofa opposite him, feel strange. He glanced towards the kitchen and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
"Isn't this Song Xin? She went to confess to her mother. I'm trying to boost her confidence."
Only then did Song Wei notice that the mother and daughter were in the kitchen with the door closed tightly. He didn't know what they were talking about inside. Since both of them had their backs to them, he couldn't see their expressions.
"Did you come and talk to Mom?"
Ling Ju nodded. "It wasn't really a leak. Mom secretly asked me about Song Xin, so I told her a few things. To my surprise, she wasn't completely against Song Xin joining the army. She had her reasons, but it's better to talk it out. I believe Mom supports Song Xin."
Song Wei sat back on the sofa without saying a word. Song Xin's military service had been decided long ago, and Song Zhiguo had already informed both him and Song Qi.
Even he and Song Qi had whispered a lot to Chen Chun, but Ling Ju didn't know about it.
Even the unit Song Xin would join later had been determined.
Song Zhiguo's decision to let Song Xin join the army was not a sudden decision, but a plan he had already made.
Due to the international situation, talented students like Song Xin who know foreign languages are very needed. In addition, Song Xin is both civil and military, and can play an excellent leading role. Song Zhiguo has also mentioned this to Chen Chun privately many times, but Chen Chun has never made it clear.
Only after the new position was confirmed did Shen Chun feel a little relieved.
Song Xin looked at Chen Chun, "Mom, I want to tell you something."
Chen Chun knows Song Xin so well that she knows whether Song Xin is going to the toilet or the toilet no matter how she sticks out her butt.
"Tell me, do you want to join the army?"
Song Xin was surprised, "You know everything?"
Chen Chun knocked on Song Xin's head. "Your father and your two brothers whisper in my ears from time to time. Do you really think I can't hear them? You little girl, you don't even tell me when you have something to say!"
Song Xin pretended to have a headache and said, "I'm sorry, Mom. I was afraid you'd be angry, so I didn't dare to tell you. You should know that I love you the most, and I'm afraid of making you sad."
"Song Xin, you can join the army, but I have two requests. Let's both take a step back and discuss it." Chen Chun became serious.
"You say."
Chen Chun put down what he was holding and wiped his hands clean. "You can't choose a dangerous military unit, you can't go to the border, you must be under the supervision of your father and second brother."
Song Xin didn't expect the request to be so simple. "Don't worry, Mom. I don't want to be too far away from you. But I can't decide which unit to join. I can only choose the military branch."
Ling Ju overheard the conversation between Chen Chun and Song Xin from outside and winked at Song Wei, "Brother, it's your turn. Mom won't let Song Xin choose a unit in the dangerous border area."
Song Wei knew Ling Ju was very sharp-eyed and sharp-eared, "Is it not a good idea for me to go in on this mother-daughter conversation?"
“You are the biological son of Song Xin’s biological brother and mother. If there is anything wrong, go ahead and reveal it.”
Only then did Song Wei stand up and go into the kitchen.
Seeing Song Wei coming in, Song Xin was nervous, "Brother, why are you here?"
Song Wei ignored Song Xin and said, "Mom, just follow what Dad said before and go to the company in Kyoto. It's not dangerous. You'll just be sitting in an office."
This time it was Song Xin's turn to be dumbfounded. "No, what's going on with Big Brother? Have you already decided which unit I should go to? Mom, you know too."
"It hasn't been finalized yet, but it's pretty close. Song Xin, are you willing to put your knowledge and expertise to use? The motherland and the people need you."
Song Xin stood up straight. "Of course I'm willing, but first tell me what's going on."
"Let's go out and talk first. Your second sister-in-law is also curious."
After several people sat down in the living room, Song Weicai told Song Zhiguo about his plan.
Song Xin was considered a somewhat exceptional talent, and with his family's military background, he was considered a top priority after graduation. Furthermore, while Song Xin's ambitions weren't to become a teacher, he had consistently good grades. He also had some psychology skills, which he could put to good use. Therefore, Song Zhiguo wanted to enlist him in the military.
