Kyoto

Commander Chen and his mother bought a box of stuff at Kyoto Department Store a few days ago and sent it to the Northwest Military District in Gan City. They also sent a telegram to their son.

As soon as I returned to the compound, I received a telegram from Liu Shujuan.

Commander Chen was lucky. When Chen's mother saw the telegram sent by Liu Shujuan, which said how her daughter-in-law cruelly abused her nephew, not giving him food, and abandoning the child, she said it was as if she had seen it with her own eyes.

Mother Chen was so frightened that she almost had a heart attack. Her face turned pale and she hurriedly said she wanted to buy a ticket to the military area.

Mother Chen was terrified, but Commander Chen was calm. Compared to Liu Shujuan's unreliable words, he trusted his son's judgment more. He had also met his daughter-in-law last time.

His eyes were clear and gentle. The people in the Yang family were all good. Commander Chen didn't think he had made a mistake.

Not to mention that his own son is a former scout and his daughter-in-law abuses the child. How could Axi, who lives with his daughter-in-law and grandson every day, not notice anything unusual?

Therefore, Commander Chen said, "Do you trust Liu Shujuan or do you trust our son more? Our son is a former reconnaissance soldier. If our daughter-in-law abuses our grandson, will our son not notice anything unusual? Last time, our son sent a telegram saying that his daughter-in-law gets along well with the child and is very patient and kind to the child!"

Of course, Chen's mother believed that her youngest son was more reliable than her eldest son, but she was really scared by Su Qinhong. The eldest son and Su Qinhong had been together for so many years and she didn't realize that Su Qinhong was abusing the children. What if Axi did the same?

Thinking of her poor grandson, Mother Chen's eyes were red.

Commander Chen said hurriedly: "Don't worry, I'll send a telegram to A Xi to ask!"

It is not realistic for them to go to the Northwest Military Region in Gan City now. The capital is not peaceful right now, and Commander Chen cannot spare the time.

Mother Chen only hopes that this time Axi finds a good wife. If she is still as vicious as Su Qinhong, Mother Chen will really want to vomit blood.

In the Chen family yard in the Northwest Military District of Gan City.

Shuying took Ye Shuning to her main hall and sat her down. He poured her a bowl of cold water and asked her warmly, "Sister Ye, have you had lunch yet? How about having lunch at my house first?"

Sitting in the courtyard of the Chen family's main hall, Ye Shuning was still a little confused and didn't know how he had gotten here.

Ye Shuning is a slow-warming person. She usually keeps to herself and rarely makes friends. She can remain calm when others are indifferent to her, but she cannot handle it and becomes overwhelmed when others are enthusiastic towards her.

Look, at this moment Shuying was so enthusiastic and natural towards her that Ye Shuning was really unable to resist.

She took out her watch and checked the time, planning to sit for a while before leaving.

Shuying has worked all his life and has acquired good social skills.

You can tell at a glance that the other person is a slow-to-warm-up person. If you are too enthusiastic, you will scare him or her away immediately.

Shuying maintained a certain level of enthusiasm, but not excessively so. Knowing that she worked for a publishing company, he immediately started talking to her about topics that interested her.

Let’s talk about some of the most popular literary works of this era, such as “How the Steel Was Tempered”, “The Distant Post Station” and “Spring and Autumn in a Small Town”.

really!

Ye Shuning, who was originally very uncomfortable, immediately became interested when she heard Shuying talking to her about literature, and the two became more and more engaged in the conversation.

The atmosphere, which was awkward and stiff just now, gradually became harmonious.

At this time, after the two of them had become more familiar with each other, Shuying got to the point and said, "Sister Ye, it was actually Ye Zheng who asked my husband to look for you. He wanted me to persuade you to stay in the military district. You have only been in the military district for a few days, so why are you leaving today?"

Ye Shuning's expression was a little stiff as he said, "The publishing house was a bit busy, so they suddenly notified me to go over there!"

"You have to be busy with work," Shuying nodded, then changed the subject and said, "But I see that Political Commissar Ye is getting old, and he doesn't have any children around him. He must want you to stay in the military region! Political Commissar Ye told my husband several times before that he really wanted you to come to Beijing. His eyes were red after drinking!"

Political Commissar Ye's eyes were red. Of course, what Shuying said was nonsense, but it made Ye Shuning look shocked.

However, Ye Shuning still didn't believe that their father still cared about them, the three siblings. If so, why had he been protecting Liu Shujuan all these years?

Shuying glanced at Ye Shuning's expression and said, "When my husband told me this, I felt so upset. I am also a child, and I am lucky to have four brothers to accompany my parents. Otherwise, I would never be willing to leave my parents and come to the military region!"

The misunderstanding between the Ye family father and daughter for so many years could not be smoothed over by Shuying's few words. Ye Shuning was stunned for a moment, but soon calmed down and said, "My father still has my stepmother and Liu Jiao! I don't need to worry too much! Let's talk about this later! Mrs. Chen, I know you have good intentions, but I have to leave today."

Ye Shuning obviously didn't want to talk about family matters and didn't want Shuying to persuade him anymore. He had made up his mind.

Shuying sighed. Since they were not that familiar with each other, she didn't want to talk about other people's family affairs rashly.

But at that time, Sister Ye asked her husband to persuade Political Commissar Ye to come.

At first, she felt that she was using Ye Shuning to cause trouble for Liu Jiao, and she also felt that she was suffering for her, but she never thought that Ye Shuning had such a character.

How should I put it? Most of the intellectuals have the common problem of being aloof, but Ye Shuning is not the kind of person who pretends to be aloof. He is truly a scholar, very principled, without any scheming or trickery, and has a particularly stubborn personality.

It would be strange if such a simple-minded person could outplay the pretentious aunt and niece Liu Shujuan and Liu Jiao.

It seems that Sister Ye has not had a good time in the military area these past ten days, and Shuying feels a little guilty.

When she went to Ye's house just now, Liu Shujuan and Liu Jiao's eyes were red, and their eagerness to see Ye Shuning leave immediately was written all over their faces.

How could Sister Ye not know that in the Ye family, she probably also felt that she was an unwelcome outsider.

After much thought, Shuying couldn't just watch them leave the military area.

She was very attracted to Sister Ye, who had a pretty face and a scholarly air, and her first impression of her was good.

Besides, she knew very well that the outside world would become more and more chaotic, and places like publishing houses and schools would be the first to be affected. If Sister Ye was implicated and forced to go to the countryside, given her personality, it would be impossible for her to ask Political Commissar Ye for help. She would probably have to grit her teeth and go to the countryside.

As for life in the countryside, if Sister Ye is lucky enough to be assigned to a village with a good atmosphere like her home, it would be fine. But if she is assigned to a poor and remote village with a mixed crowd, given her condition, there is a high probability that she will not have a good ending.

Shuying held Ye Shuning's hand and said, "Sister Ye, I know almost everything about your family."

Ye Shuning was not surprised, after all, her family affairs were no secret in the compound.

Shuying continued, "Sister Ye, I had a special affinity with you the first time I saw you. Actually, I'm not here to persuade you to stay just because Political Commissar Ye asked my man to. As an outsider, I can't say much about your family affairs. I really think it's too much of a loss for you to leave the military region like this, and it's a great bargain for others!"

Ye Shuning's indifferent expression changed a little after hearing this, and he looked at her in surprise!

"Sister Ye, I went to your house today. I saw your stepmother and niece shed a few tears in front of Political Commissar Ye when they heard that you were leaving the military region. They really wanted you to leave immediately!"

Ye Shuning didn't expect that the girl in front of him was so powerful that she could see through Liu Shujuan and Liu Jiao's disguises at a glance?

Shuying continued, "I think your stepmother doesn't treat you very well, otherwise why wouldn't she want you to get close to Political Commissar Ye? If you leave now, won't it be what they want? It will also benefit others! These days, your stepmother has been trying to get Liu Jiao married to Commander Zhou's family! But Commander Zhou's family has never agreed. She can use the relationship with Political Commissar Ye to find a good match for her family. You are the daughter of Political Commissar Ye. If you leave the military region, won't it be a benefit to them both?"

"As soon as you arrived, Political Commissar Ye took you to have dinner at Teacher Zhou's house. Political Commissar Ye values ​​you, his daughter, the most!"

"Wait, the matter between Liu Jiao and Teacher Zhou's family hasn't been settled yet?" Ye Shuning asked in surprise.

Shuying also looked at her in surprise, and then she learned from Ye Shuning that Liu Shujuan had hinted to her about the matter between Liu Jiao and Teacher Zhou's family, and both families said that the engagement would be finalized soon.

Ye Shuning naturally would not do anything to steal someone else's body, and she was very disgusted by Political Commissar Ye's suggestion that she meet the eldest brother of the Zhou family.

"Sister Ye, you wouldn't have had a conflict with Political Commissar Ye because of this, right?" Shuying asked.

After getting the other party's confirmation, Shuying didn't know whether to feel sad that Liu Shujuan, the stepmother, was so scheming or that Political Commissar Ye's daughter was so easy to fool.

Shuying said hurriedly, "Sister Ye, don't you know who Political Commissar Ye is? If Liu Jiao and Commander Zhou's family were about to get engaged, why would Political Commissar Ye let you meet Commander Zhou's eldest son? Commander Zhou's family wouldn't agree, right? I've been in the military region for so long, and I've been to Commander Zhou's family several times, but Liu Jiao and Zhou Tuan have never met each other."

Ye Shuning was stunned.

Shuying thought that it was most likely that Sister Ye's stepmother had taken advantage of Sister Ye's easy-to-foolery personality and used the fact that Liu Jiao and Zhou Shengtian were dating to trick Sister Ye into thinking that Zhou Shengtian was the person Liu Jiao wanted to marry.

On the one hand, he used this incident to make a big fuss to sow discord between the father and daughter, and on the other hand, he could expel Sister Ye from the military area. How much better would that be?

Shuying said, "Sister Ye, I think your stepmother is really not a simple person. I'm afraid she has done this many times in the past to sow discord between you and your daughter. After you moved out of the compound in the past few years, as long as you and your sister contacted Political Commissar Ye, your stepmother would immediately sow discord between you and your daughter in front of you and your sister? Is she afraid that you would contact her?"

Ye Shuning had never thought much about it before, he just knew that Liu Shujuan was a woman who used to pretend to be a malicious person. Now think about it, every time she or her two brothers first entered the Ye family, they would have a big quarrel with their father, and everyone would leave in a bad mood.

She thought about it carefully. Every time before they met their father, Liu Shujuan liked to tell them how good their father was to her, and that he was planning to have several children with her. Liu Shujuan was a thorn in their hearts. Knowing how good their parents were to Liu Shujuan, how could they open their hearts and say anything nice to their father?

Later, both she and her two brothers wanted to cut off all contact with their father and try to have as little contact with him as possible.

The more Ye Shuning thought about it, the uglier his face became.

As soon as Shu Ying saw Ye Shuning's expression, she knew what she said was right, and immediately said, "Sister Ye, that's why I said that if you leave the military district so easily, it will be in line with her wishes. I heard from my husband that after you and your two brothers moved out of the military district compound, you have had very little contact with Political Commissar Ye. I think what you and your two brothers did hurt Political Commissar Ye, and it also fulfilled your stepmother's wishes! Your stepmother might even scold you and your sister for being stupid behind your back!"

"She can get benefits from Political Commissar Ye for her niece, so why can't you use your biological father's relationship to get benefits for yourself and your two brothers?"

"I am saying this with a bit of utilitarianism in mind, but why doesn't your stepmother want you and your two brothers to contact Political Commissar Ye? It's because she doesn't want you to rely on Political Commissar Ye for favors and she doesn't want to see you and your sister get along well. Besides, Political Commissar Ye really cares about you, his daughter. As he gets older, he wants you and your children to stay with him. Your stepmother can't bear to see you and your sister get along well, but Political Commissar Ye is definitely happy for you and your sister to live well!"

I have to say, Ye Shuning was moved and suddenly enlightened by what Shuying said this afternoon, and it also enlightened Ye Shuning who finally came to his senses.

She thought that she and her two brothers had little contact with her father over the years, and the one who was happiest and cheapest was Liu Shujuan.

Commander Chen's daughter-in-law was right. If she was in such a hurry to leave the military region, the happiest and cheapest people would be her stepmother and Liu Jiao.

But she was a little hesitant when she thought about staying in the military area with Liu Shujuan.

Shuying knew why she was hesitating, and said, "Sister Ye, if I were you, and your stepmother didn't want me to stay in the military area, I would stay there to annoy her. If she doesn't like me getting close to my biological father, I would deliberately get close to her to make her angry to death. And your two brothers, let them get closer to Political Commissar Ye, I guarantee that your stepmother will be so angry that she will vomit blood! Otherwise, you will quarrel with your father in front of her and leave, while your stepmother will cry with your father behind her back. Political Commissar Ye doesn't know anything and will think that you and your sister have wronged her. It would be strange if Political Commissar Ye doesn't treat your stepmother well!"

Ye Shuning also recalled that her father was very cold to Liu Shujuan at the beginning. Later, as they quarreled more and more with him, every time Liu Shujuan pretended to be a good person, her father treated her better and better. Thinking of this, Ye Shuning's eyes were thoughtful.

Ye Shuning changed his previous cold attitude and took the initiative to ask her for advice.

"If your stepmother is playing tricks on you, just tell your father the truth. As long as Political Commissar Ye is on your side, your stepmother will be useless no matter what tricks she plays." Shuying could see in his heart that Ye Shuning would not play tricks. He would always be able to make a complaint, right?

This is not just about teaching her how to annoy people and how to complain more. In fact, the best way to piss off her stepmother is to let her have more contact and get closer to her two brothers and Political Commissar Ye. Let her send a telegram to her two brothers and ask them to have more contact and get closer to Political Commissar Ye.

Seeing that she finally took her words to heart, Shuying breathed a sigh of relief and continued to give her advice: "Also, I think you are too impulsive sometimes. If you have any problems, don't rush to quarrel with Political Commissar Ye. Communicate with Political Commissar Ye properly. Let's talk about the Zhou family matter. How could you believe your stepmother's lies and believe that she misunderstood Political Commissar Ye? In the future, if you have any problems, you must communicate properly and don't believe your stepmother's lies. As for today's Zhou family incident, you can also complain to your father and explain it clearly. Don't give your stepmother a chance to play nice!"

Ye Shuning's eyes lit up when she heard this. She was not stupid. She used to think that her father only had Liu Shujuan as his woman and not them three siblings.

After listening to the analysis of Commander Chen's daughter-in-law, and knowing that her father really cared about the three siblings, Ye Shuning thought more and more that she was right, and decided to send a telegram to her two brothers, asking them to keep in touch with their father.

Ye Shuning enthusiastically shook Shuying's hand with a grateful look on his face, and said, "Mrs. Chen, you are right. I plan to stay in the military area!"

"That's great, Sister Ye, you can try my cooking for dinner!" said Shuying.

Ye Shuning refused, "No, Chen's wife, I still want to go home for dinner. My stepmother is used to pretending, especially in front of my father, always asking me what dishes I like to eat. I used to be too lazy to pay attention to her and said nothing, but after listening to what you said today, I really think that my father might think that I am ignorant and have wronged her. My stepmother will definitely not be happy for me to go home for dinner. If she is not happy, I am happy!"

oops!

Shuying really didn't expect Ye Shuning to be able to draw inferences so quickly, not bad!

Since she agreed to stay in the military area, Shuying was no longer worried. Seeing that she insisted on returning to the Ye family, Shuying did not stay any longer.

At the Ye family, Liu Shujuan was waiting for Ye Shuning to leave tomorrow, and she advised Political Commissar Ye not to interfere in Ye Shuning's marriage in the future.

Let her find her own partner in the future.

Liu Shujuan had a good idea. She wanted to see how Ye Shuning would find a good partner after leaving Political Commissar Ye. But Ye Shuning suddenly came back and said to Political Commissar Ye: "Dad, I've thought about it. I'd better stay in the military region to accompany you!"

Political Commissar Ye, who had just asked Chen Tuan's wife to persuade his daughter to stay, actually didn't hold much hope. As a father, he knew very well how stubborn his daughter was. Who knew that the surprise came too quickly? Political Commissar Ye rubbed his hands in ecstasy: "What? What did you say, daughter?"

Ye Shuning had never been soft-hearted in front of Political Commissar Ye, and she said with a stiff face that she wanted to stay in the military district to accompany him. Seeing that her father was indeed different from Liu Shujuan who was anxious to drive her out of the military district, and was very happy to know that she stayed, Ye Shuning was also sure that her father really had her as a lady in his heart, so she breathed a sigh of relief and repeated that she had decided to stay in the military district.

This was not what made Political Commissar Ye the happiest. What made Political Commissar Ye the most excited was that his daughter not only stayed in the military region, but also agreed to a blind date with the eldest son of the Zhou family.

Oh my god.

What did Commander Chen's daughter-in-law say to his daughter? How could she be so amazing and capable? No wonder Commander Chen and his mother were satisfied with such a daughter-in-law. No, he had to send a telegram back to Kyoto to have a good talk with Commander Chen and his mother. How did they find such a good daughter-in-law?

At this moment, Political Commissar Ye was so grateful to Chen Tuan's wife that his face flushed with excitement and he said, "Okay, okay, okay!"

But when Liu Shujuan heard that Ye Shuning suddenly decided to stay and agreed to a blind date with the eldest son of the Zhou family, she was shocked and almost couldn't breathe. She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
