Lin Damei was curious. What kind of oddball had appeared? They basically had no contact with the people in the building. If Hehua called it news, then it had spread throughout the entire compound.
Lu Hehua said with disdain, "Didn't Battalion Commander Liu and his wife have three daughters? I heard she's pregnant again, but the pregnancy isn't going well. He wanted someone to take care of her, so he brought his mother over. His mother also brought his eldest brother's son over, saying that if they go out together, she can bring a son over too."
Battalion Commander Liu's wife has always been quite efficient at her work; she's met her before, and her cheerful personality makes her very likable. She just never expected that the man she'd run into would be such a dimwit.
Lin Damei seemed to have a vague memory: "Was her name Yu Dani? The three children she raised were very clean, and the girls were quite pretty. I remember she looked very healthy during her pregnancy. I saw her go to the supply and marketing cooperative a while ago and buy a lot of things, which she carried back herself."
Lu Hehua naturally knew: "Battalion Commander Liu felt that he was living a very comfortable life. Thinking of his mother suffering in his hometown, he was afraid that she would be bullied, so he made up an excuse to bring his mother here."
According to regulations, the battalion commander's family members can accompany him to the military compound. However, the compound has only been established for a few years, and as long as an application is made, the family members can generally be brought over. However, the family members are assumed to be the wife and children. If you bring your own mother over to take care of you separately, you will probably be laughed at and people will say that you are still breastfeeding.
I don't know what he was thinking. Since ancient times, mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law have been natural enemies. Especially now that she has given birth to three girls and no boys, the daughter-in-law must have suffered a lot of grievances. She finally waited for the military to come and she could get rid of her mother-in-law's control and have a few days of peace. Who knew that the man would make this decision? Now that they have met Yu Dani, they can't see her smiling. She seems to be soaking in bitterness.
Lin Damei snorted coldly: "Men are indeed filial."
Before marriage, they didn't know how to be filial. Their own mothers gave them their all, but they never appreciated it. After getting married and having a wife, they realized how hard their mothers had worked and started to be filial. But all they did was talk about filial piety. Their wives did everything, and who wouldn't want this kind of filial piety where they didn't have to do anything? If she were a man, she would want to get married too.
Lu Hehua was even more disdainful: "I heard that after Liu Ying's mother came, she didn't cook or wash clothes. Yu Dani did all the work, including washing clothes and cooking for her mother-in-law and nephew. If she didn't do it well, she would cry and make a fuss. Liu Ying even complained that Yu Dani didn't know how to behave. Yu Dani lost a lot of weight in just a few days."
No wonder he's almost forty and still just a battalion commander. If he doesn't make any more contributions, he'll probably be retired in a few years. He's so clueless and his family isn't stable, so it'll be difficult for him to get promoted in the future.
Lin Damei felt sorry for Yu Dani: "Didn't she think of a way to send Liu Ying's mother away? Yu Dani is quite to my liking."
Lu Hehua sighed helplessly, "If they could have sent her away, would Liu Ying have brought her back? We've all been through this. Do you think Liu Ying doesn't know that his mother bullies his wife? He's not satisfied with the fact that she gave birth to three girls, and he's using this as an opportunity to put her in a bad light! Doesn't he realize that everyone wants to have a son? Even if he beats her until she can't have any more, what good does it do besides increasing her resentment? Men's brains are like mush at home. There'll be a lot of trouble later! I heard that Liu Ying's mother said that if this baby is another girl, she'll adopt the boy she brought with her, so that her son won't be without an heir."
Everyone found it amusing. They were all shrewd people, and they basically knew what Old Lady Liu was planning as soon as they heard her words. She thought the child was capable and could help the family members, especially her favorite grandson, so that he could be adopted to enjoy all the fruits of his labor.
The worst-case scenario is that Liu Ying is not favored at home. He wants his parents' approval after he becomes successful, and he doesn't care if his wife suffers because he wants to get their attention.
Don't you realize that the people who exploit you now will exploit you even more once you become successful? Do you think they'll suddenly think you're amazing and be proud of you? Your wife is the one you'll rely on for life. Be careful that when you're old and bedridden, your wife doesn't treat you warmly and even stabs you in the heart. You'll die with regrets.
Everyone sighed. They knew how difficult it was to be a daughter-in-law, so they never made things difficult for their daughters-in-law. As a result, the relationship between the mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law was good. They could chat together and would get together to chat whenever they had free time. The men were not retired and their children were still working. Otherwise, what else could these old ladies do?
They naturally know that when they are old and bedridden, it will be their daughters-in-law who will take care of them. Don't be fooled by the mothers-in-law's current claims that they can rely on their sons and not their daughters-in-law, and that their daughters-in-law treat them badly and should be divorced. They don't even consider how old their sons will be when they get old. Will they be able to find a wife after a divorce? Even if they do, will their wives be willing to take care of them? How many men will not look down on them then?
"Prolonged illness reveals the lack of filial piety at the bedside," an admonition from our ancestors for countless years, yet no one takes it seriously.
As they were talking, Lan Hua came over and complained to everyone, "So you're all here. I was just looking for you to talk to. You didn't even call me when you came here. I've been looking for you for ages."
The group exchanged bewildered glances. Had they made an appointment with her? They had only met once yesterday and exchanged brief introductions, barely exchanging a few words. She had spoken to them in a condescending and disdainful tone. They had no intention of developing a close relationship with her.
Upon seeing Zhu Fanfan, I couldn't help but want to pinch her little face: "Look how well this child has grown, so chubby and must have eaten a lot of good food. She looks like she's hard to raise. Food is so precious, and this little girl only needs some soup. It's such a waste."
Everyone laughed in anger. Yesterday, he spoke in a sarcastic tone, and today he's even going so far as to criticize the child. Doesn't he care about committing a sin? Everyone in this building knows that Zhu Fanfan was born with poor health, and Vice President Liu spent a lot of effort to raise her. They cherish her dearly, yet he just says that she's difficult to raise. Isn't that cursing someone?
Lin Damei retorted directly: "My Fanfan is my precious darling, he's good-looking, and the Zhu family can afford to raise him. Unlike your bunch of ugly ducklings, they don't even have jobs. Stop coming out every day to annoy people and ruin the reputation of the compound. You're like the rat droppings that spoil the whole pot of porridge."
Don't think she didn't find out Lan Hua's identity. She was said to be his first wife, but when Lao Ji passed through a village during the war, he was tricked and had no choice but to marry her. Later, they couldn't be separated because of the war. After hearing that Lao Ji had sacrificed his life, she remarried.
Later, it was discovered that the news had been misrepresented. After Lao Ji returned, they divorced. Lao Ji later remarried, and the couple had a good relationship. However, his wife passed away a couple of years ago. No one knows where Lai Lanhua got the news, but she insisted on coming to the capital with her son and grandson, claiming to be his first wife.
I don't know what got into Lao Ji, but he actually kept them.
Lan Hua pointed at Lin Da Mei and cursed, "Bullshit! You're the real bastard! You old hag, you're cursing my family! I'll fight you to the death!"
After saying that, he rushed towards Lin Damei's stomach, trying to knock her down.
