Chapter 412 My Wife Has a Bad Temper
With his own wife around, Captain Zhu can stay out of the matter and remain an outsider.
Now that his wife is not at home, Captain Zhu is annoyed by his mother every day, so he simply doesn't go home to live anymore.
When the couple were not at home, Old Mrs. Zhu lived more comfortably with her son and daughter-in-law. They made as much food as they could in the house. With so many people, the food that could have lasted for two months was gone in just half a month.
The food was gone, and Mrs. Wang and Captain Zhu were not at home. Old Mrs. Zhu had her sights set on Shen Shuyu's house next door. She came over with a big bag and said, "It must be Captain Gu's mother. I heard from my eldest brother that Captain Gu and my eldest brother have a good relationship, right?"
It's like this, my boss is busy and forgot to buy food. We won't be buying food for a while, so I thought of borrowing some from you."
Old Mrs. Zhu looked towards the yard. If there was no white radish at the door, she would have wanted to go straight into the yard.
Su Yueru heard them quarreling next door every day and had no good feelings for the old lady. When she asked to borrow food, Su Yueru refused directly, "I'm sorry, Auntie, I don't have much food left at home, so I can't lend it to you."
Old Mrs. Zhu thought they would be too embarrassed to refuse the loan, but she didn't expect the rejection to be so straightforward. Her face fell all of a sudden.
When she heard Su Yueru say that there was no food left, she did not give up. There were still a few green vegetables in the yard. She pointed at them and said, "These vegetables are better than those grown in our countryside. They are so fresh and juicy. Are they delicious? I, an old lady, have never eaten the vegetables grown by the army."
If it were someone else, Su Yueru would have picked it directly and let the other person take it home to eat. It’s just a vegetable.
But Su Yueru didn't want to give anything to the old lady. If she gave her a vegetable today, she wouldn't know what she would shamelessly ask for tomorrow. The old lady must have done a lot of things that took advantage of her age.
"Aunt, your daughter-in-law also grows a lot of vegetables. If you want to try some, just go home and pick them from your own yard." Su Yueru said with a smile.
Mrs. Zhu: “…”
Old Mrs. Zhu went home angrily because she failed to borrow rice and get vegetables.
He was fighting at home, and openly and secretly telling his daughter-in-law that the people next door were not kind.
Shen Shuyu came back and heard it, and asked her mother-in-law, "Mom, what happened next door?"
"He just came back to borrow rice and wanted some vegetables, but I didn't agree and he kept talking about me in the house.
Shu Yu, I didn't embarrass you, did I? I'm not stingy, I just think that old lady is... mean."
She came to her son and daughter-in-law's home and disrupted their family life. She also forced her daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' home. How could this old lady not be mean?
Anyway, Su Yueru couldn't understand the mentality of such a mother-in-law.
If her son and daughter-in-law don't live well, how can she live well? She doesn't even think about how her daughter-in-law will treat her when she is old and can't move.
"Mom, I think you did the right thing. I am not that old lady. We don't need to care about what she wants to do next."
Mrs. Wang was not at home, so they stopped quarreling next door. There was no food left at home, and the vegetables had been eaten up by them.
Since Captain Zhu refused to come back, Old Mrs. Zhu went to the leader and cried for her son to come back.
Captain Zhu was annoyed when he saw the mess in his home after not returning for just a few days. "Mom, what do you want to do? Do you have to force me to go back to my hometown and farm with you?"
"Go home and farm? What are you talking about? You are my son, and of course I hope you are well and have a bright future.
Look at you, your mother and your father, your brother and your nephew came from far away to see you, but not only were you unhappy, you also had a sour face and didn't even smile. You didn't go home and left us here without caring about us. What does this mean?
Do you know that your mother and father are almost starving to death at home?
Your daughter-in-law is really unreasonable. She took my eldest grandson back to her parents' home after just a few words and didn't care about the family at all. It's obvious that she doesn't have you in her heart. If she did have you, could she be so cruel?
And the family of the so-called regiment commander next door to you, they are called the regiment commander, but they don’t even know how to behave themselves. I, an old lady, shamelessly asked them to borrow some rice, but they didn’t even know how to lend it. What do they mean?
Do you look down on me, an old country woman? Son, you have to tell them later..."
Listening to his mother's series of words, Captain Zhu's head was buzzing and he was very annoyed. He just wanted to escape from this home.
"Mom, here are 20 yuan. We're out of food. Go buy some. I have something else to do, so I'm going to go out now."
Since he couldn’t do anything about my mother, Captain Zhu had to go out and hide.
Mrs. Wang went back to her parents' home. Captain Zhu went to his father-in-law's home twice, but Mrs. Wang did not come back. Captain Zhu also felt that his wife was a little bit unreasonable.
No matter what, she is his biological mother, can't she be more tolerant? His mother is not always here, just be patient for a while, and then they will go back.
Whenever she is unhappy, she goes back to her parents' home and ignores her family. How can this be acceptable?
He couldn't persuade Mrs. Wang to come back, and thinking that his wife and Captain Gu's wife had a good relationship, he came to find Shen Shuyu, hoping that Shen Shuyu could help persuade Mrs. Wang to come back.
"Teacher Shen, my wife has a bad temper. Can you please help her to talk her out? We are already an old couple, but she is unhappy and wants to go back to her parents' home. What kind of words are you saying?"
My mother is just old, and sometimes what she says is not pleasant to hear. If she doesn’t like it, she just won’t listen.
Please help persuade her to come back. When she comes back, I won’t let my mother say anything bad about her.”
Shen Shuyuhe snorted coldly, "Captain Zhu thinks that Wang's wife has a bad temper? If she has a bad temper, it won't be as simple as just going back to her parents' home and swallowing her anger.
You don't even understand what kind of injustice Sister Wang suffered or why she is angry, so how do you have the nerve to ask Sister Wang to come back?
Will Wang's wife be allowed to come back and continue to be beaten and scolded by her mother-in-law, and to be met with cold words from her sisters-in-law?
You yourself can't stand your own mother, you sleep in the dormitory for several days and don't want to come back, you let Wang's wife come back to suffer and be wronged?"
Captain Zhu wanted to say that his mother was old, and as a daughter-in-law, she had to be more tolerant of the elderly. No matter how wrong the elderly were, they were still elders.
He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say for a long time.
Shen Shuyu didn't want to talk to this man any more, so he went into the yard and closed the door.
When Su Yueru was around, she held her eldest grandson in her arms every day. Xiaoze became more and more attached to his grandmother. He would sleep next to her at night and would cry loudly if he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't see his grandmother.
"Mom, look how much Xiaoze loves grandma. If you go back to the Northwest, Xiaoze won't be able to see grandma and he won't know how to cry."
Now the eldest grandson is Su Yueru's treasure. She feels uncomfortable when she thinks about going back to the Northwest.
"It would be great if your dad is willing to transfer back so that mom can always be with you guys."
At that time, her husband was transferred to the Northwest because of the situation. He had no choice. Now if they want to be transferred, they can apply to come back. Her husband is determined to build up the Northwest, and as a wife, she can only support him silently.
