647: What does it have to do with you if I teach my son a lesson?
Yu Xiaoye slowly swallowed the food in his mouth and said:
"Don't worry, auntie, what happened today will not affect our relationship."
Zhuang Huaijian nodded with satisfaction:
"That's good. I hope you will always be as happy as you are now."
"Thank you for your blessing, Auntie. The director and I will be happy."
Zhuang Huaijian smiled:
"What did you call him?"
Yu Xiaoye was a little embarrassed:
"Director, I'm used to calling you that. I've always called you that, and I haven't changed since then."
"If you two get married in the future, will you still call him that at home?"
Yu Xiaoye smiled embarrassedly.
The embarrassment was not because of how she addressed Zhou Ziheng, but because Zhuang Huaijian mentioned "marriage".
Zhuang Huaijian suggested:
"Why don't you just call him by his name from now on? Even though he's a little older than you, since you're getting married, there's no need to be so particular. Besides, he probably won't be a farm manager forever. Sooner or later, you'll have to change your name, right?"
Yu Xiaoye nodded:
"Okay, Auntie, I'll change my words next time."
"Okay, hurry up and eat some more food—"
Yu Xiaoye obediently lowered his head and continued eating.
Zhuang Huaijian gave Zhou Jingru a look, meaning, look how well-behaved this girl is, she's such an easy-going person, why do you have to say that she's arrogant and domineering?
Being arrogant and domineering, isn't that just because he's been pushed into a corner?
A desperate dog will jump over the wall. Even a clay man has his own character. If a person does not resist when being bullied, will he just let others bully him?
If my son really marries such a weak and incompetent woman, how will he support the Zhou family in the future?
Wouldn’t the Zhou family become a soft persimmon?
Therefore, Zhuang Huaijian thought it was a good thing for his son to marry a girl with a bit of temper.
Zhuang Huaijian was very satisfied with his daughter-in-law.
Zhou Jingru took the look from his wife and gradually changed his impression of Yu Xiaoye, but the majesty on his face did not change at all and he did not speak.
When the meal was almost over, Zhou Jingru finally couldn't hold it in any longer and said in a deep voice:
"Are you planning to get married?"
This time it was Zhou Ziheng who took the initiative to answer:
"Yes, we are going to get married."
Yu Xiaoye was shocked: Ah, when did you say you were getting married? How come I didn’t know?
When Zhou Jingru heard his son personally confirm that he was going to get married, he nodded slightly. He was a little uncomfortable with the fact that his son suddenly brought his girlfriend home, but since they were going to get married, there was nothing wrong with bringing her home.
"Are you sure all your injuries have healed?"
Zhou Ziheng replied calmly:
"Recovered."
"How did you recover?"
"treat."
"How is it treated?"
Zhuang Huaijian noticed that the father and son were talking in a strange way, so he tried to persuade them:
"Okay, my son's injury has healed. This is a great thing. Don't ask any more questions."
Zhou Jingru's attitude took a sharp turn for the worse:
"I suspect this kid wasn't injured at all and was just pretending!"
Although Zhuang Huaijian had such doubts at one point, in front of Zhou Jingru, he still tried hard to pretend to believe that his son had recovered from his injury:
"No matter if it's fake or not, as long as Hengzi recovers from his injuries, we can get married and have children normally. In the future, we can have grandchildren, right?"
At the end, Zhuang Huaijian couldn't help but laugh.
The pressure was suddenly put on Yu Xiaoye. She looked at the people at the table in confusion, not understanding why they suddenly talked about getting married and having grandchildren?
When Zhou Jingru heard about holding his grandson, the anger on his face subsided a little, but he still asked in a serious tone:
"Tell me, when you took out the medical certificate and said you were injured, was that a forgery?"
“——” Zhou Ziheng kept silent.
Seeing Zhou Ziheng was speechless when asked, Yu Xiaoye felt a little distressed. He hardened his heart and stood up to cover up Zhou Ziheng's lie:
"Uncle Zhou, the director wasn't lying. He was truly injured, and he was indeed healed in the Great Northern Wilderness. I can testify to that—"
The old couple looked at Yu Xiaoye and were about to believe her words, but Zhou Ziheng suddenly spoke:
"Xiao Ye, don't lie for me--"
“??!!”
Zhou Ziheng looked at his father, then at his mother, and decided to confront her:
"I wasn't injured. Or rather, I was indeed injured, but I was treated in a field hospital. After I recovered, I wasn't affected. The medical certificate was fake. I asked someone I knew at the military hospital to give it to me."
"Bang!!"
Zhou Jingru suddenly slammed the table.
Zhuang Huaijian and Yu Xiaoye were both shocked. Aunt Zhang in the kitchen heard the noise and ran to the kitchen door to see what was going on.
Zhou Jingru angrily pointed at Zhou Ziheng's nose and cursed:
"How dare you tell such a lie? Do you think others are fools? How could the Zhou family produce a wicked descendant like you?"
Zhuang Huaijian was so frightened when he saw the old man getting angry that he stood up from his chair. He supported Zhou Jingru and pretended to separate them, while asking his son in confusion:
"Hengzi, why did you tell such a lie?"
"To make the You family completely give up." Zhou Ziheng answered calmly.
"So, you lied about being injured just to avoid marrying Wen Yue?"
"right."
"Why did you do such a stupid thing? If you didn't want to marry her, why didn't you just say no?"
"I've told you before that I don't like You Wenyue. What did you say? You said that we should just get married and live together. If I don't like her, why should I marry her? Since nothing I say is of any use, I won't say anything more."
Zhou Jingru did not accept this argument at all and started cursing again:
“Don’t make excuses for yourself.
"He didn't marry Wen Yue, not only did he lie about being injured, he also took off his uniform and ran off to a remote place to be a field manager. I spent so many years in the army, just to train a farmer?! Check your conscience, can you be worthy of the army's training!"
Yu Xiaoye didn't want to get involved in the conflict between father and son, but after hearing Zhou Jingru's scolding, she couldn't help it and suddenly stood up and said:
"Uncle Zhou, you can't say that. How can the director be unworthy of the army's training? He has already fought in the battlefield and won. He suffered many injuries in the battle and almost lost his life. Isn't this his contribution to the army and the country?
How exactly did he fail to live up to the military's training?
Moreover, after he arrived in the Great Northern Wilderness, he continued to carry forward the fine style he had in the army and managed our farm in an orderly manner. Isn't this a contribution?
Also, the Great Northern Wilderness is not a barren place, it is the northern gate of the country. How can you, a veteran, say such things?
Let me explain to you again, our farm is not an ordinary farm, it is a Corps farm. We are not only responsible for reclaiming wasteland, but also for guarding the border. We are preparing for war and famine, and we also have training like the army, not just for farming!
Also, you just said that the director has bad intentions. Let me ask, why does he have bad intentions?
What's wrong with him not wanting to marry You Wenyue? What kind of person is You Wenyue? Haven't you seen it today? She's like a madman.
The director was so tolerant of her just for your sake. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have killed You Wenyue long ago. Why would he wait until today?"
Yu Xiaoye was a quick-witted talker, and his words came out like a machine gun, without any pauses.
As they spoke, the old couple Zhou Jingru and Zhuang Huaijian looked at the girl from the Great Northern Wilderness in shock.
How long has he been pretending to be good, and now he's starting to reveal his tough nature again?
Zhou Jingru was stunned for a few seconds, then said tremblingly:
"I, I, I, I'm teaching my son a lesson, what does it have to do with you!"
Yu Xiaoye said confidently:
"Because your son did nothing wrong. He is the victim in this matter. You can't blame him indiscriminately! Blame Yu Wenyue. It was Yu Wenyue who caused your son to take off his military uniform. Look for her if you want to find someone!"
