Chapter 366: Wang's Wife's Family Affairs
Shen Shuyu persuaded her grandparents not to let her uncle send her to the army. When the children knew she was going to the army, they came to her house early to look for her.
"Sister Shu Yu, you are going back to the army. Please take good care of yourself when you return."
"Sister Shuyu, when can you come back?"
"Sister Shuyu, I don't want you to go to the army."
"Sister Shu Yu..."
Jin Bao still wanted to send his brother away as always. "Sister Shu Yu, I don't have anything good to give you when you go to the army. You can take Jin Yi with you. You'll have someone to accompany you on the road..."
Shen Shuyu touched the honest child, accepted his kindness, and coaxed him, "Bring Jinyi on the train. Sister Shuyu will still take care of it. You help Sister Shuyu continue to raise Jinyi."
It was almost time for Shen Shuyu and her family to go to the station. Xiaoqiu held her elder sister's hand and refused to let go. "Sister, how about I go with you to the army to take care of you? Your brother-in-law is on a mission, and I'm worried about you going alone."
"You, just go to work. Big Sister doesn't need you now. Big Sister will call you when she needs you."
No matter how reluctant she was, Shen Shuyu still got on the car. Every time she said goodbye, Shen Shuyu felt a little uncomfortable.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt, you all go back."
Shen Shuyu also took a sleeper berth when returning to the army. With Bai Luobo by his side, Shen Shuyu was not alone on the journey.
This time it was only her and Bai Luobo. Whenever someone passed by Shen Shuyu, Bai Luobo would be very alert, fearing that someone would do something bad to Bai Luobo.
They were riding in sleeper berths, which were relatively safer and of higher quality. Shen Shuyu and Bai Luobo didn't encounter any bad things along the way and arrived at the army safely.
Mrs. Wang was very happy to see her back. "Sister Shu Yu is back. My son was still talking about you yesterday, saying that he missed his Aunt Gu."
"This kid doesn't miss me, he misses white radish."
"You're right. That naughty kid just wants to play with the white radish."
Shen Shuyu brought a lot of things, and she gave some to Mrs. Wang.
"Hey, I'll take two pickles, and you can keep the rest for yourself."
Seeing that she stuffed a lot of things into her arms, Mrs. Wang felt really embarrassed.
"These are all mountain products picked up from the mountains. They are not worth much. They can only be eaten as snacks. Sister-in-law, please don't despise them."
"Mountain products are all good stuff, how could I dislike them? Okay, sister-in-law, I will shamelessly accept them."
Mrs. Wang talked to her about the vegetables in the garden. "When you were not at home, I came to check on you every day. I didn't come when your deputy group leader Gu came back. He is very diligent and his eyes are full of life. Every time I passed by, I saw him busy. He is not like the man in my family, who doesn't move even if I call him for a long time..."
With the comparison, Mrs. Wang felt that her stinky man was not decent at all.
Shen Shuyu wanted to know when Gu Jiandong would be back, so she asked Wang's wife, "Wang's wife, is Captain Zhu home?"
"No, she's on a mission with your man."
"Did Captain Zhu say when he would be back?"
"No, the mission was very urgent this time, and I didn't even have time to come back to collect my clothes before I got on the bus. It was only when the comrades came home and told me that I knew they were on the mission.
I have been out for a while now. With your Deputy Battalion Commander Gu here, I think I will be back in a few days."
Mrs. Wang squinted her eyes and said, "Are you worried about your Deputy Commander Gu? Don't worry, your Deputy Commander Gu will not be in any danger. He has the ability and combat experience that no one else can match at his age. You should just stay at home and wait for him to come back."
Mrs. Wang was also a young wife, so she knew what she was thinking. "Others envy us for having a military husband, who can provide us with food and clothing, but they don't know how tormented we are at home when our husbands are away on missions. We are afraid that they...
They have their own beliefs. All we can do is to manage the family well, not to distract them, to ensure they can have a hot meal when they are tired from training, and to have the lights on when they return from a mission. "
Mrs. Wang is a talkative person and she can't stop talking. Shen Shuyu listens quietly beside her and agrees with her from time to time.
At noon, at Shen Shuyu's enthusiastic invitation, Mrs. Wang always had lunch at Shen Shuyu's house.
Shen Shuyu didn't finish the buns that Shen Chunling made for her niece. In addition to the buns, Shen Shuyu also cooked two dishes.
"Everyone wants to live the life you have. You and Deputy Head Gu are both capable, and you don't have to worry too much about your parents-in-law.
Unlike me, my husband's allowance is used to support several families, including the elderly and children. Every penny of the allowance must be spent in two parts, and I can't save a penny."
"Several families?"
"Of course I am. My husband has two brothers and a sister. They have not separated. He sends half of his money back home every month, saying that he wants to be filial to the old couple. If he really wants to be filial to the old couple, I won't say anything.
But my parents-in-law gave all the allowance that was sent back to their son and daughter.
The second son's family, the third son's family, and the daughter's family. My sister-in-law was all married. Knowing that her eldest brother could make money in the army, she brought her husband and children back to her parents' home and stayed there for several years.
My two uncles knew that their brother would send back an allowance, so they didn't go to work and stayed at home all day, lacking everything. So they wrote to me saying that they were having a hard time in the countryside.
He had no chance to wear the liberation shoes and military coat my husband sent me, so he sent them all back to his hometown."
Shen Shuyu finally understood why Captain Zhu's clothes and shoes were so torn. It turned out that he had sent them all back to his hometown.
Having such a husband's family is really a headache. Shen Shuyu doesn't want to talk about other people's family affairs, so she just listens to what Wang Saozi tells her.
As if she knew what Shen Shuyu was thinking, Wang Saozi sighed and said, "I have also thought about not sending so much money back. My mother-in-law is a fierce and unreasonable person.
If we hadn't sent so much money back home, she would have brought her whole family to the army to make trouble, saying that my husband was unfilial and telling everyone about my faults.
They came to the army to cause trouble two years ago, and my husband almost had to go home.
It’s also because I’m not tough enough, and I’ve always been controlled by them…”
"What is Captain Zhu's attitude?"
"What kind of attitude can he have? They are his parents, his brother, and his sister. He can only accept it and let me not care so much."
But how could she not care? All her husband's family members were sucking blood from her man. They didn't feel sorry for him. She felt sorry for him, but there was nothing she could do. He was not tough at all. What was the use of her being tough as a daughter-in-law? She was neither a human nor a human.
"Now I don't say a word about sending money back. I let him send the allowance back when it is issued. If there is not enough food at home, he can find a way himself. If there is not enough money, he can find a way himself. I just cook at home and don't care about anything else.
Oh, have I talked too much? I have been holding these things in my heart and have not spoken them out. I can only talk to you now. Now that I have spoken them out, I feel much better. "
