Shuying was quite satisfied last night, but she was just waiting to hear the man eating breakfast at the table this morning asking her to take a leave of absence during her pregnancy or quit her job at school to go home and take care of the baby.
Then he would write a letter to his mother-in-law asking her to take care of her. He would pay her a salary every month, as if he was afraid that something might happen to her and treated her as a fragile item. Shuying was a little dumbfounded.
The man continued in a deep voice: "It's inconvenient for my parents to come here, so my mother-in-law can come and take care of you!"
Shuying was about to refuse, but the man said, "I still have to go on missions in the future. I feel more at ease if your mother-in-law takes care of you!"
In fact, after Chen Xigang learned that his wife was pregnant, he had already made plans to let his mother-in-law take care of her, but it was far from being so soon. However, his wife's words last night made him feel uneasy.
At this moment, he felt that she was too thin and too delicate. When she was full after drinking only one bowl of porridge, Chen Xi frowned, his face gloomy, and insisted on giving her another bowl.
"No, I'm full!" She had just had a bowl of porridge with a steamed bun, which was just enough for her normal daily meal. She replied, "It's already June, my mother is definitely not free now. Everyone in the village will be busy with the next month. My mother is responsible for everything in the house. It's useless for you to pay her. Let's talk about it later!"
Chen Xi obviously thought of this fact. He was silent for a moment and could only continue to let her eat more.
While continuing to ask her about taking leave or resigning due to pregnancy.
The man's expression was serious and solemn, and Shuying could tell that he was serious about it.
Now, thinking back to what I said last night, pretending to be a green tea and acting timid, I suddenly feel like crying but have no tears.
Shuying didn't respond directly to her man while drinking porridge, thinking that asking for leave or resigning was impossible.
If she asks for leave from school now, she will most likely lose this job. The military region is short of teachers, so Xia Lina might get the upper hand then.
It would have been fine if she was too lazy to argue with others before, but she just found out yesterday that Xia Lina cursed her for divorce and couldn't bear to see her doing well, so there was no way she would let Xia Lina take advantage of her.
Shuying blinked innocently and didn't respond, changing the subject. She only breathed a sigh of relief after the man left.
Today is the weekend. The sun was very bright in the morning and the sky was particularly blue. While the children were playing next door, I took out my bedding and went out to the yard to dry in the sun.
Not long after, Ye Shuning came to the door.
The two of them sat in the main room and chatted.
Ye Shuning came to visit her this time because he heard about her pregnancy. He came to see her and asked her about it. When Shuying nodded, Ye Shuning stared at her belly with envy: "How many months?"
"More than a month!" After a slight pause, Shuying smiled and said, "Sister Ye, I got married earlier than you. You and Zhou Tuan should work harder. Maybe I will hear good news from you in a few days!"
Ye Shuning's cheeks turned slightly red after hearing the teasing, but the pressure in her heart was relieved a lot.
Ever since Shuying became pregnant, her mother-in-law started to keep an eye on her belly.
But he didn't put any pressure on her, he just asked casually, but she felt a little anxious in her heart.
The two talked about having a baby, and Ye Shuning changed the subject, which suddenly fell on the matter of her elder brother and Song Minglan dating.
Ye Shuning said with regret that the two of them did not get together because her elder brother did not agree to see each other.
"I thought my eldest brother hadn't found a partner in all these years because of Sister Song, but when he heard that I wanted to match him with Sister Song, he immediately refused and said that the two of them were not suitable!"
"What's wrong with that?" Ye Shuning couldn't help but complain, "I think Sister Song is a nice person, and she's a military doctor. We're in the same military region, and we've talked before, so we know each other well. How can we be destined to be together?"
Although her elder brother refused, Ye Shuning still felt that Sister Song was the most suitable female comrade for her elder brother in the military region.
What's more, these days, Sister Song has been looking for her from time to time, constantly asking about her brother, as if she still has feelings for her eldest brother. If her eldest brother agrees, the two of them will definitely get married soon. Speaking of this, Ye Shuning feels particularly regretful!
Shuying has never liked to meddle in other people's love affairs, nor does she want to gossip, but she has a good relationship with Sister Ye and wants to say something.
Ever since she last ran into Song Minglan breaking up with her partner, she felt that this Comrade Song was quite extraordinary.
Comrade Song told her that she had no feelings for her partner and that was why they broke up. She understood that, but she heard Comrade Feng say that they were already at the stage of discussing marriage.
Can you talk about marriage without love?
What's more, when Comrade Song had a partner, she did not refuse Sister Ye's matchmaking. She had just separated from the person she was discussing marriage with, and the next moment she was able to acquiesce to Sister Ye's matchmaking. Most female comrades cannot do this.
Therefore, Shuying didn't have a good impression of military doctor Song Minglan.
She was just thinking about what to say when she heard Ye Shuning say, "Although Sister Song's family is a bit complicated, she is a really nice person. When she was talking to my eldest brother about dating, she didn't think I was a burden! She even came to see me often!"
Now, Ye Shuning hated her stepmother for ruining her elder brother's good marriage.
In short, Ye Shuning likes Song Minglan very much and does not abandon her family. In her heart, Sister Song is dragged down by her stepfather's family. What does it have to do with Sister Song?
When Sister Song gets married, she won’t have any contact with her stepfather’s family!
Ye Shuning thought so and said so.
Shuying swallowed the words that were about to come out of her throat back into her stomach, thinking that if her brother had a partner like this, she would never agree to it.
Not to mention that he is not a good person, even if he is a good person, she may not be willing for her brother to marry such a wife.
It’s easy for Sister Ye to say it now, but when that military doctor Song really marries the eldest brother of the Ye family, whether the female military doctor Song Minglan is willing to stop having contact with her natal family is another matter.
Moreover, if she didn't want to have any contact with her stepfather's family, what about her biological mother? How could she not have any contact with her?
Shuying had a lot to say in his heart, but all these words were blocked by Ye Shuning's words of liking for Song Minglan.
After thinking about it, since Comrade Song, the military doctor, and the eldest brother of the Ye family didn't get together, she felt too lazy to gossip about them and make others dislike her. After all, Sister Ye had a good relationship with the female military doctor Song Minglan. If she said too much, people would suspect that she was trying to instigate them.
In the end, he had to pick out a few things to say, such as that it was unlikely that the two families would stop communicating after the marriage, and he also advised her not to rush into the marriage of the eldest brother of the Ye family.
Getting a marriage certificate is no small matter, it is a lifelong event. Shoe sizes come in different sizes, and only those who wear them know it best.
Since it is the eldest brother of the Ye family who is looking for a partner, then of course the most important thing is that the eldest brother of the Ye family likes her.
The two talked for a while before Ye Shuning left.
Ye Shuning had just left when she unexpectedly saw the two sisters from Captain Wang's family come to her house.
This time, Shuying recognized Tian Lanhua.
Tian Lanhua was wearing a blue Dacron and had two pigtails tied in front of her chest. Apart from her slightly dark skin, her facial features were small and delicate. She looked a bit like the round-faced Captain Wang, but Captain Wang's skin was whiter. Their personalities were completely different.
Compared to Captain Wang's family who was a little shy and only called her "Teacher Yang", Tian Lanhua was so sweet and called her "sister-in-law" naturally and familiarly. She handed the basket and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, I hope I didn't disturb you this time. This is a little gift from me. I heard that you were pregnant, so I went to the back mountain of the village to pick Yangmei. As the saying goes, the gift is small but the thought is great. This is a little gift from me. Sister-in-law, please don't despise it!"
Tian Lanhua was very eloquent and spoke very fluently. She mentioned that she had passed Chen Wei's basket for her a month ago, saying that she had watched over others and no one dared to embezzle it, so she returned the things to Chen Wei. She then said, "Sister-in-law, next time if you need any help, just ask me directly. You and my sister have a close relationship, so who are we talking to?"
Tian Chunhua: “…”
Tree Shadow: “…”
I have to admit that Captain Wang's sister is so natural and familiar that it's a bit hard to resist, but she's not offensive either.
The other party had said so much, and since it was just some red bayberries, Shuying accepted it and invited the two sisters in.
Tian Chunhua's face turned red when she heard her younger sister's flattering words. She felt a little embarrassed. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
After entering the house, Tian Lanhua looked around the small courtyard. The more she looked, the more she liked it. It was much better than the place where she lived now.
If you are lucky, you can live in a new mud-brick house.
Her sister and brother-in-law lived in a new mud brick house. She had lived there before. It didn't have such a big yard, but it had water and electricity and was very convenient.
But she was made jealous and envious.
By the way, the reason why she came to Chen's house this time was because she just found out two days ago that her brother-in-law had been promoted again!
Good guy, now I am the deputy group leader.
But she was so envious that her eyes turned red. At that time, she thought that her brother-in-law would have no chance of moving up in the future since he married her sister, who was such a hindrance. Who would have thought that her brother-in-law was so capable?
Later I heard from her elder sister that she and her husband initially thought that Captain Lu would be promoted to a higher position. When she found out what was going on, she realized that her brother-in-law became the deputy regiment commander. It was most likely just luck.
Who made the Lu family offend the Chen family?
Thinking of this, Tian Lanhua became more determined to curry favor with someone powerful. Her sister was useless and unreliable. If Chen Tuan's wife was willing to introduce her to a good match, how could she not want to enjoy the good fortune?
Even if Captain Lu's family introduced someone to Chen Wei in the future, it would definitely not be as good as hers. The more Tian Lanhua thought about it, the more excited she became. She was particularly attentive to Shuying, calling her sister-in-law left and right, and was very affectionate.
Those who don't know would think that they are real aunt and sister-in-law. Tian Chunhua was also stunned by her younger sister's attentiveness to Chen Tuan's wife.
While Tian Lanhua was being attentive, she still did not forget to tease Chen Wei and her relationship. She first cautiously asked, "Sister-in-law, has Chen Zhiqing come to your place in the past month?"
"no!"
Tian Lanhua's eyes lit up, and she immediately hinted that Chen Wei was unreliable and had been getting particularly close to Captain Lu's family recently, and the two were now as close as one person.
"Sister-in-law, I am telling you the truth from the bottom of my heart. Chen Zhiqing is not a good person. You must not believe her. You don't know that she asks for leave every day when there is work in the fields in the village. Not only does she seduce male educated youth to help her with work, but now she is also seducing men in the village. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person!"
Tian Chunhua: “…”
Tree Shadow: “…”
