Pei Tingyu sat with a group of guests in the auditorium, while Si Yang sat with her sisters in a room.
The girls ate and chatted, telling about the interesting things that happened in the Corps recently. Except for Zhang Xiao'e who was not in the mood and forced a smile, the others were all laughing so hard that their teeth were showing.
Xiao Meng looked at Si Yang with longing and said, "I also want to have a small family like this, without parents-in-law, but with a handsome and considerate husband. Si Yang, you envy me to death."
An Rong deliberately frowned: "I'm not envious, I'm just jealous!"
Xiao Meng held her belly and laughed: "Hahaha, quickly ask Si Yang to find you an officer to marry in the army."
An Rong pursed her lips and said seriously, "I'll think about it. Maybe it will work. How about you marry me too?"
"I want to marry you together? Marrying two brothers is more like that. That way we won't have to separate..."
Qiu Xia ate her meal in silence, listening to the two lively girls chatting and laughing, and her mood inexplicably improved.
Zhang Xiao'e's face looked bad, and she was just concentrating on eating.
Si Yang took a sip of the sweet-scented osmanthus soup and looked up at Zhang Xiao'e, who was forcing a smile. "Xiao'e, I didn't even have time to ask you, your baby should be over three months old, right? Why didn't you bring him out to have some fun?"
Zhang Xiao'e put down her chopsticks and smiled awkwardly: "The child is too noisy, it's not convenient to bring him out."
"Is it a boy or a girl?" Si Yang asked.
"A boy." Zhang Xiao'e thought of her son, and the smile on her lips finally didn't seem so forced.
"The Feng family must be very happy, right?"
Zhang Xiao'e avoided Si Yang's gaze and nodded, "Yeah."
Si Yang obviously noticed the unnaturalness in her expression, but since Zhang Xiao'e didn't want to talk about it, he didn't want to pry into other people's troubles on his wedding day.
After they finished their meal, Zhang Xiao'e went to find Feng Junhui first.
Si Yang arranged for the other girls to sit on the sofa, eat fruit, listen to the radio and chat.
After Zhang Xiao'e left, An Rong lowered her voice and said, "Si Yang, Zhang Xiao'e was embarrassed to tell me just now that she is not having a good time at her husband's house. I even saw her crying secretly a few days ago."
"I also encountered her arguing with Dr. Feng. She seemed to be saying that her mother-in-law and sister-in-law were making things difficult for her, and Dr. Feng didn't stand on her side..." Xiao Meng followed.
"Arguing is nothing. I've even seen her get slapped by Dr. Feng." Vanilla took a bite of the apple, her bulging cheeks like a squirrel.
"What? A slap?" Several girls looked shocked.
An Rong was indignant: "What kind of person did Zhang Xiao'e marry? When I attended her wedding banquet, I could tell that family was not kind. Just looking at the food and accommodation, I knew that the Feng family didn't value her at all."
Xiao Meng echoed, "Isn't it? I think the three yuan contribution is too much. It should be fifty cents. I came all this way and didn't get anything to eat."
"Zhang Xiao'e's face was very stiff just now. I guess she felt even worse than the grand wedding of Si Yang and Captain Pei."
"Who can I blame for this? Si Yang said he would take her away, but she insisted on staying in such a poor house and having to eat coarse food. Now she regrets it. She has already given birth to a child and can't run away."
"If you ask me, Si Yang is lucky. She married Captain Pei and doesn't have to take care of her parents-in-law. The two of them can live a loving life behind closed doors without having to make a fuss..."
Si Yang smiled indifferently, but when she thought of Zhang Xiaoe, she felt complicated.
Qiu Xia couldn't get a word in, but she felt uncomfortable. She had a pair of sensible parents-in-law, but her life was still not easy.
When Qiu Xia went back to her house to get something, she ran into Qu Mingjun who had just returned.
It's really strange that he came back in broad daylight today.
Instead of greeting him enthusiastically as usual, she went into the house on her own.
Qu Mingjun's eyes were dark. He strode in and closed the door behind him.
"Qiu Xia, what are you doing? Why didn't you tell me before you left? Don't you know that I..."
"Didn't you say that unless it's a divorce, I don't have to tell you anything else?" Qiu Xia calmly interrupted him before he could finish.
