Wu Guizhi was stunned.
What she wanted was that the second son's wife should not take the college entrance examination, but just stay at home honestly. If she didn't want to take the college entrance examination, she would divorce him. She didn't want the second son to take Su Ruo to the army.
The second son was already very protective of that woman. If he took her and Guozi to the army, she would most likely lose her son completely.
A great panic rose in her heart.
She wanted to say something else, but was pulled back by Han Heping.
Han Heping said, "Zecheng, your mother just doesn't understand. She's panicking and afraid that you'll suffer. You can explain it to her later. There's no need to say such angry words. As for the college entrance examination, I think if your wife really wants to take it... well, who wouldn't want to go to college? Since you've already registered, of course you have to take it, otherwise your wife will be upset."
After a pause, he said, "Go inside to see your wife, I'll talk to your mother, and you can come out for breakfast later."
Han Zecheng pursed his lips, turned around without saying anything, opened the door and went into the room.
Han Heping glanced at Wu Guizhi, whose face was covered in snot, red eyes, and full of anger, and sighed.
He glanced at the third daughter-in-law standing beside him and said, "Go to the back and call the eldest, third, and Dongzi to come over for dinner. I'm going to talk to your mother for a while."
After saying that, he dragged Wu Guizhi back to the room.
******
In Han Heping and Wu Guizhi's room.
Han Heping dragged Wu Guizhi into the room and said dejectedly, "Guizhi, you have followed me for so many years and have suffered a lot. It's my fault that I am useless and have wronged you."
Wu Guizhi was stunned, then embarrassed, and then angrily said: "Han Heping, you, what do you mean? Lao Er is talking nonsense, you don't help me, but you want to join him to make me angry?"
As she spoke, the tears that had stopped welled up again, and she cried, "I have worked hard for this family, and you are still saying such things here. Are you still a human being?"
Han Heping sighed and said, "I know, I know. Alas, I know your heart. I don't mean that. How could I not know that you want to keep your second son's wife at home for the sake of our family?"
"But Guizhi, a forced melon is not sweet. You know Zecheng's temper. Before, the second daughter-in-law herself didn't want to join the army. Now you have forced her into a corner. She really went with Zecheng and is resentful of you. Isn't this going to make Zecheng even more alienated from you?"
Wu Guizhi's face looked extremely ugly.
She said, "That's why I want to take this opportunity to let them leave!"
As she spoke, she choked up and said, "Heping, you know how much I have suffered for my second son. His father left just a few days after we got married. I was alone in pregnancy for ten months and gave birth to him. I worked hard to raise him, but he couldn't even marry a wife who satisfied me and insisted on marrying this woman."
"The second child used to be so obedient. When his father wanted to take him away, he would rather stay in the village and suffer than go to the city. Later, even when he went to study outside, he never went to live with his father. But now, for her sake, he ignores me, his mother, in every way."
"Did I ask him to divorce for me? The second son's wife is born like that. She is not a good person. If she goes to that university and stays with those guys all day, and the second son is in the army, how long do you think she can keep it together? Rather than her treating the second son like a fool and fooling around outside, it is better to get a clean divorce now."
Han Heping also had complicated feelings after hearing this.
He knew his wife's selfish motives, but even if she was selfish, he felt that what she said was indeed right.
If the second son's wife really went to college, problems would surely arise sooner or later.
But he is not the second child's biological father, so there are some things he cannot say directly or suppress.
He said, "I know what you mean, but Guizhi, Zecheng has always had a bad temper since he was a child. When he went to middle school, he went to the city to study, and he made his own decisions on everything. No matter what you think in your heart, you can't force him to listen to you, just like the matter of the second son's wife."
He paused and whispered, "Even if you don't like the second son's wife, you should get along with her. If you force her to go with Zecheng, Zecheng will have to stay with this family and be more estranged from you. If he doesn't come home because of this, you..."
When the time comes, you will have no place to regret it. It will be useless even if you lose your temper and throw things at home every day.
But he also knew that his wife had a bad temper.
Talking about this now would only add fuel to the fire, so he took a breath and advised, "Actually, if you really want them to divorce, then let the second daughter-in-law go to take the college entrance examination. If she returns to the city and doesn't want to live with Zecheng anymore, then they can get divorced. Don't worry about these things. Just keep Guozi at home and take good care of her. Zecheng and the second daughter-in-law will also remember your kindness."
"In fact, if you ask me, the second son's wife has been married to Zecheng for so many years. I think although she is a little aloof, she is not a bad person. In my opinion, if Zecheng divorces him and marries someone from the city, she may not be as easy to talk to as she is... Don't be unconvinced."
Seeing that she seemed to have something to say, he spoke before her, "I know what you mean. You want Zecheng to divorce the second son's wife and then find him another one in the nearby village. But you don't think about it. Not to mention that the second son is now the deputy regiment commander, when he just graduated from school and joined the army a few years ago, he was just a company-level cadre, and he didn't want to listen to your advice to find someone in the village. Will he be willing to do so now?"
"So if you ask me, you should either ignore the matter of the second son's wife taking the college entrance examination, let them do what they want, and just help them bring fruits. Or if you really don't want her to go to that university, isn't that simple? Then just let her fail the exam and that'll be it."
Han Heping felt that instead of letting the second son find another one whose background he didn't know, it would be better to keep the current one at home and teach in the commune.

When Han Zecheng entered the room, he saw his son sitting on a small stool with a serious face, while Su Ruo was tidying up things at the table.
He glanced at his son and said, "Guoguo, go out and play with your cousins for a while. I'll talk to your mother."
Han Guo looked at his father, then at Su Ruo, and said, "Dad, if you take Mom away, you must take me with you."
Su Ruo turned to look at him, smiled, walked up to him, reached out and touched his little head, and said, "Don't worry, Mommy will take Guoguo with her wherever she goes. Mommy won't be used to it without Guoguo. But now, can you go out for a while? After Mommy finishes talking to Daddy, tell Guoguo how we should go, okay?"
Even if she doesn't remember giving birth to him, this should indeed be her son...right?
She herself is motherless, so she naturally knows what kind of situation a child would be in without a biological mother, so she would never let her son fall into that situation.
And she also believed that she could take good care of him.
Su Ruo smiled brightly, without a trace of gloom.
Han Guo felt relieved when he saw his mother smile.
He looked at his father again and saw him nodding to him affirmatively. Only then did he get rid of his previous depressed mood and went out happily.
Except when responding to his son, Han Zecheng was always looking at Su Ruo.
He saw that her smile was gentle and bright, and she didn't seem to be affected by what happened just now. His mood also eased a lot.
He said, "I'm sorry."
Su Ruo shook her head.
This is his mother, not her mother. He is pitiful for having such a mother.
What’s wrong with being scolded a few times? If she were like Lin Wanhua, she would be very troubled.
But now he looks serious and a little scary.
Su Ruo pondered for a moment, looked at him and said, "But looking at the situation, I probably can't live here anymore."
Seeing that he was not angry or frowning, she explained to him in a calm tone, "I don't have a problem with your mother. I think she must have her position. It's just... I don't know how I got along with them before, but,"
She said apologetically, "Han, Brother Han, I'm sorry. I have no experience as a daughter-in-law. Although it's a bit bad to say this, I definitely can't be the daughter-in-law your mother wants me to be."
"I think I will quit my job at school during this period of time, take care of Guoguo while reviewing for the college entrance examination."
"But it's obvious that she can't bear to see me take the college entrance examination. Even if you insist and she compromises on the surface, if I continue to live here, she will definitely want me to do housework, wash clothes and cook, which I definitely can't do."
"Feel sorry."
It's more than just taking care of the housework. Looking at her mother's condition, she wondered if she could take the college entrance examination smoothly.
The college entrance examination is the best way for her to seize the moment, escape from her current helpless life, and return to the life track in her memory. There is no way she will give up.
Han Zecheng felt relieved when he heard her say this.
He said, "No need to apologize, you did nothing wrong. If you don't mind, pack up your things and come with me to the army. I will go to the brigade today to transfer you and Guoguo's household registration to me."
ha?
Su Ruo was stunned.
She hadn't thought about joining the army.
She thought that she could just find a house somewhere to live in for a month, take the college entrance examination, and then she could take Han Guo to school.
She remembered that she could apply for a married dormitory at the university, and she could live with Han Guo.
You can send Han Guo to kindergarten during the daytime classes.
But Han Guo is also his son, so she must obtain his consent and support for this plan.
What's more, she knew nothing about this place, so she would definitely need his help to carry out the plan.
I just didn't expect him to say he would follow the army.
And things like transferring household registration, can it be done in one day?
Besides, she had already registered for the college entrance examination. If she transferred her household registration and withdrew her registration form, wouldn't she have to give up the college entrance examination?
There was no way she was going to give up.
Thinking of this, she shook her head firmly and said, "I want to take the college entrance examination."
His heart sank when he saw her shaking her head, but he relaxed when he heard her say that she wanted to take the college entrance examination.
It seems that she must have misunderstood.
He explained, "It doesn't matter. We will leave early tomorrow morning. I will help you register your household registration in the afternoon, and then register for you directly in the military district. Then you can take the exam directly in the provincial capital of S Province... Our military district is only a three-hour drive from the provincial capital."
At this point he seemed to remember something, paused for a moment and then lowered his eyes, saying, "Didn't you say before that you were going to study at Qingdao University? How about applying to Qingdao University again?"
