Chapter 144: Chasing Mother Xu Away
Chu Sangning is not a person who likes to be wronged. All the solemn promises made by Xu's mother just now turned into slaps in her face one by one.
As for what she said about the child never telling the truth, Chu Sangning wanted to laugh even more. How could such a double-standard old lady have the nerve to say that?
Just when Chu Sangning was arguing with Xu's mother, He Shulan came out after hearing the noise. Perhaps because of her title as the team leader's wife, Xu's mother panicked and apologized to Chu Sangning, then quickly took her grandson away.
Chu Sangning despised this kind of person who only bullies the weak and fears the strong. He complained to his uncle and Jiang Xingyan angrily at the dinner table, "Humph, if I hadn't been smart and hadn't found the child, I would have been tricked by them."
A cold light flashed in Jiang Xingyan's eyes, and Qiao Xiangye's face was also dark. Neither of them was spoken to, but they silently started to settle accounts with Xu Dajun at the same time the next day.
Under the pretext of sparring, Jiang Xingyan severely taught Xu Dajun a lesson, making him lose face in the army. After all, he was a veteran in the army, but he fell in Jiang Xingyan's hands after just three moves.
Although no one said anything, everyone smiled mockingly on their faces.
After the "exchange" was over, Xu Dajun was still physically and mentally exhausted when he was called away by Qiao Xiangye. As soon as he entered the office, Xu Dajun did not even have time to salute.
Then he saw his own captain waving at him with a cold face, and saying to him, "Dajun, you have been in the army for quite a while. I can see your efforts, and I hope you can have a chance to be promoted."
Xu Dajun smiled, thinking that the captain had high hopes for him. "Captain, I will definitely not let you down."
"Hey..." Qiao Xiangye stretched out his hand to signal him to stop, "You can't be in the army all day, you still have to pay some attention to your family. It's also very important to have a sensible mother at home."
Those who have been in the army for such a long time are not fools. Xu Dajun thought about it and felt something was wrong. The smile on his face disappeared immediately and he asked seriously: "Captain, did my mother do something again?"
Qiao Xiangye still wanted to save some face for the other party, so he didn't elaborate, but smiled with relief, "Okay, now that you know, just go out first. If you can't solve it, take a rest for two days. It won't be too late to come back after the family affairs are finished."
On the surface, it was for Xu Dajun's own good, but in reality it was a warning to Xu Dajun that if he couldn't handle his family affairs well, future promotions would have nothing to do with him.
The most important thing these days is to compete with troops from other places. If we win, we can stand out and let the regiment commander and political commissar see our efforts.
If his mother caused him to fail in his promotion, Xu Dajun's face turned black when he thought about it...
He immediately patted his chest and promised, "Captain, I will definitely solve it."
At noon, he didn't even eat and hurried home. Xu Dajun opened the door and saw his wife cooking in the kitchen. His mother was playing with the child, her face was angry, "Mom, what did you do again?"
When her son came home and questioned her, Xu's mother immediately became angry and slapped her thigh, saying that she was wronged. "Son, what's wrong? What did I do?"
"Did you go and provoke Chu Sangning on the first floor again?"
The mother understood her son, and similarly, Xu Dajun also understood his mother very well. She was usually arrogant and looked down on everyone. This was fine in the village, but who would have thought that she was like this in the army as well.
This place is different from his hometown. Everyone living in this compound is a well-known figure. How can a child from a poor family like him compare with them?
I finally made it big on my own, but I still have a mom who holds me back.
Xu Dajun was anxious and angry, and said directly: "Mom, do you know that the commander asked me to stay at home?"
Xu's mother was panicked and at a loss, "This...isn't this a good thing? You were so tired these days that you fell asleep as soon as you got home. Your team leader must be doing this for your own good."
Xu Dajun immediately laughed, "Okay? As long as I stay at home, I won't have to worry about future promotions."
It was the first time that Xu's mother saw her son so angry. She murmured and dared not say anything more. Under her son's questioning, she had to tell him what happened last night.
Upon learning that his own mother and son had caused such a huge mess, Xu Dajun was so angry that he grabbed his son by the collar and kicked his precious son hard on the butt twice.
"You useless thing, I'll let you lick my lips, I'll let you lick my lips."
"On a normal day, I don't need you to eat or drink, but you dare to lie to me. I will beat you to death."
Because he was disliked by the regiment commander because of his son, Xu Dajun was furious this time. He ignored Xu's mother's objection, pulled out the belt from his waist, and hit Xu Jindan twice.
The little boy has always been a baby at home. Grandma hurts his father's pet, not to mention beating, even if a hair hasn't hurt, now let the belt be beat twice. The butt eggs are like steamed steamed buns.
Xu Jindan cried heartbreakingly, screaming at the top of his lungs: "Grandma, ah ah ah, grandma, save me."
"Ooooooooooooooooo, it hurts, I won't dare to do it again, grandma—"
Xu's mother loved her grandson to her core. She quickly used her body to protect Xu Jindan, holding him in her arms, and angrily said to Xu Dajun, "The child didn't do it on purpose. Why did you have to be so cruel?"
"Look at our golden egg, Dajun. You are his biological father. How could you have the heart to kill him?"
Seeing her son still looking gloomy, Xu's mother gritted her teeth and said, "Which little girl on this floor is so precious? Can't you just say a few words to her?"
"Mom, I have a name, so I can't say it. My uncle is the regiment commander, and the target is the battalion commander, so I can't say it."
"She's a money-loser, yet you still treat her like an eyeball." Xu's mother thought Qiao Xiangye and the others were crazy. There was no point in loving a little girl because she would marry someone else in two years.
Seeing that his mother was still determined, Xu Dajun was afraid that his mother would provoke Chu Sangning again, so he frowned and discussed, "You have been here for quite a while, I will take you back tomorrow."
"You're chasing me away?" Xu's mother widened her eyes, looking incredulous.
"I'm not trying to chase you away. My dad has no one to talk to at home. It's time for you to go back."
Xu Dajun didn't just discuss that he would really find time to send his mother back tomorrow. After saying that, he went back to the room, leaving Xu's mother and Xu Jindan sitting in the living room.
When he was sleeping at night, Xu Dajun closed his eyes and suddenly said, "Wife, pack things for mom tomorrow."
The army's wife didn't say anything. She turned over silently and faced away from Xu Dajun, humming softly.
The next morning, Xu's mother came with dark circles under her eyes, "I can go back, and let Jindan go with me."
