Shu Hui disagreed. Wu Wenlan was no pushover. If Shu Hui hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have believed that Luo Kangcheng could be so easily manipulated by a woman.
Shu Hui used to have little status at home, and she actually envied women like Wu Wenlan who were in charge of the household.
That's why they say people of the same kind have different fates.
Her husband cheated on her, and her in-laws didn't protect her either.
Wu Wenlan's husband held a high position, and her parents-in-law were gentle and obedient.
But no one has a perfect life. Shu Hui sighed, "Why is it that people can't have what they want?"
"Has your son not come to see you?"
“No, not even once. You know, even though I wasn’t home watching over him and managing him every day, I was still very good to him. I never skimped on his food or drink, and I never embarrassed him. I was injured on duty, it’s nothing shameful. How could he be as resolute and selfish as his mother, not even showing his face after he left?”

Luo Kangcheng raised his glass, and Shu Hui joined him; the two of them downed a drink.
Shu Hui had never been so unrestrained before. She drank and talked about her feelings, not thinking about her children or housework. She only talked about her life, her past, and her faded youth.
“I still remember 1972. That year, I was on a mission. I was on a call in the middle of the night and was half asleep. I jumped off the vehicle and stumbled and fell into a cow dung pit. My whole leg sank in. I couldn’t pull it out, so I had to take off my shoes to pull my foot out.”
Luo Kangcheng laughed until his face turned red, and Shu Hui also laughed so hard she coughed.
"Comrade Luo, you're really funny. I did something ridiculous a year ago, which was over twenty years ago..."
