Not only Zhang Cui, but all the sisters-in-law in the family compound hated Jiang Shiyue but they also envied her.
I envy her for marrying a good man.
This compound has no shortage of bad soldiers, no shortage of heroes willing to die in battle, but being a soldier is ultimately just a profession; defending one's country doesn't guarantee protecting one's family. A hero who strikes fear in the hearts of the enemy doesn't necessarily make a good husband or father.
But Chen Shanhe can take care of both. No matter what Jiang Shiyue does, he has never said a harsh word, let alone hit her, no matter how angry he is. On the contrary, he will try his best to help Jiang Shiyue clean up the mess, ensure Jiang Shiyue's quality of life within his ability, and never force her to do anything she doesn't want to do.
"If that's what you mean, then you're also a mistress. You shouldn't be the first girl of the same age he met. Oh, no, you're older than him, so you don't count as his peer."
Zhang Cui really cried this time.
Crying with anger.
Jiang Shiyue continued to strike with precision, "Even if you tell the truth, I was the one who got married to him. As far as I know, intentionally sabotaging a military marriage is punishable by imprisonment!"
Zhang Cui's face suddenly turned pale.
"I……"
Chen Shanhe: “…”
It seems that there is no such rule. To be more precise, there is no rule that men will go to jail for cheating, but he is not stupid enough to correct it.
It's not that he doesn't know Zhang Cui's feelings, but Jiang Shiyue alone is enough to make him afraid of all women.
Even if Jiang Shiyue was not there, he would not be interested in Zhang Cui.
It's good that Jiang Shiyue's behavior can stop Zhang Cui from thinking about it.
In fact, he had politely rejected Zhang Cui several times, but unfortunately Zhang Cui would not listen.
Jiang Shiyue took out the money from his pocket, looked at it, put it back, and reached out to Chen Shanhe.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
He raised his eyelids, took out the money from his shirt pocket and put it in Jiang Shiyue's palm.
Zhang Cui's face turned red again.
Jiang Shiyue found a five-yuan bill and threw it to Zhang Cui. "Although the shoes you made are ugly and unworthy of my son, we won't take advantage of others. This is your hard work fee. Your needlework is so bad, don't do it next time!"
Zhang Cui was so angry that she was shaking all over. She raised her hand and threw the money back. "Jiang Shiyue, don't think you're so great just because you have a few coins! I'm not doing this for the money!"
How could she expect Chen Shanhe to remember her favor even if she asked for the money?
How could this stinky woman Jiang Shiyue be so evil?!
Jiang Shiyue put the money away and gave Zhang Cui a thumbs up. "I didn't expect you to be so conscious. You know the shoes you made are not worth the price, so you won't charge me. Fine, we'll take the shoes. I'll let Yangyang try them on later. If there's anything that doesn't fit, I'll tell you and you can modify them next time."
She deliberately emphasized the word "we".
After saying that, she walked out holding Yangyang's hand and Chen Shanhe's sleeve with the other.
Chen Shanhe: “…”
Zhang Cui: “…”
As the family of three stepped out of the grocery store, they heard Zhang Cui burst into tears, followed by the sound of things being smashed.
Chen Shanhe stopped.
Jiang Shiyue let go of his sleeve, "Why? Can't bear to leave? It's just right that you can go in and comfort her. She needs your embrace the most right now."
Chen Shanhe: “…”
He rushed after Jiang Shiyue and scolded her softly, "Don't talk nonsense!"
He was just worried that Zhang Cui would break things.
Everything is public property.

This delay happened to coincide with the officers and soldiers coming to the cafeteria for lunch.
The officers and soldiers stood at the canteen door in company units, first held a meeting, then sang military songs in unison, and finally dispersed to eat.
There are also some rules for eating: new recruits go first, veterans and non-commissioned officers come after, and cadres sit last.
As soon as Jiang Shiyue entered the cafeteria, she felt as if she was back at school.
The difference is that restaurants in this era are all wooden tables and chairs. There is no window for selling food, only two long tables at the entrance. On the long tables are two large iron basins, one for vegetables and the other for soup.
The soldiers in the kitchen squad took spoons and served rice to everyone in turn.
The dish is shredded potatoes with vinegar, the soup is spinach soup, and the staple food is noodles made with two kinds of flour.
The spinach soup is real spinach soup, with no oil or water, and a hint of egg drop soup.
Jiang Shiyue and his family of three arrived at the cafeteria late. Most of the cafeteria was full of people, with only one empty table left.
She glanced around and found that there were not many sisters-in-law coming to the cafeteria to eat, only three or two.
Having two or three women among a bunch of real men is already eye-catching, and Jiang Shiyue is the best among them.
It's not just because of her looks, the reputation of her compound as a public nuisance is not false.
Everyone's eyes would occasionally fall on the three of them, but no one could hear any discussion.
Jiang Shiyue guessed that it was a disciplinary issue.
Others were looking at Jiang Shiyue and his family of three, and Jiang Shiyue was also observing them.
She found that the officers and soldiers, including Chen Shanhe, ate very fast, but not in a disorderly manner. She rarely heard the sound of smacking lips or chopsticks hitting bowls.
Jiang Shiyue felt like an infrared scanner. Wherever her eyes fell on a table, the people at that table would quickly lower their heads and avoid her sight.
Jiang Shiyue: “…”
After a while, she couldn't help but ask Chen Shanhe, "Am I... so annoying?"
It is understandable that the sisters-in-law are annoyed with her, after all, they have been deeply harmed by her. But why are these officers and soldiers also so annoyed with her?
The original owner had rarely been to the battalion headquarters, and had no memory of being an enemy of any officer or soldier.
Chen Shanhe followed her gaze, not knowing whether to nod or shake his head. After a while, he said, "It has nothing to do with you."
They just felt sorry for him.
Jiang Shiyue was not stupid, so of course she understood what he meant and said nothing more.
It's much easier to be bad than to be good.
Chen Shanhe comforted her, "It will be fine after a while! You've changed a lot recently."
