Chapter 413 I don't want a daughter-in-law like this
Gu Jiandong said he would be back in half a month, but he actually came back in more than 20 days, with injuries on his arms and thighs.
Knowing that there would be uncertain dangers every time he went on a mission, Shen Shuyu thought she was mentally prepared, but every time she saw him injured, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken.
Gu Jiandong came back after bandaging his wound. He was wearing long sleeves and long pants. If he hadn't been sleeping at night, Shen Shuyu wouldn't have noticed.
"It hurts, right?" Shen Shuyu pointed at the wound.
"It doesn't hurt at all, it's just a little abrasion." This little injury on his body was indeed just a little abrasion for Gu Jiandong.
He himself doesn't care.
The less he cared, the more distressed Shen Shuyu felt. She didn't even know how badly Gu Jiandong had been injured, which was why she downplayed it and said it was just a minor injury.
He has many scars of different sizes on his body, which are like medals to him.
Not so for Shen Shuyu.
Some of the scars are very long and large, and you can tell at a glance how serious the previous injuries were.
Gu Jiandong helped her wipe her tears and held her in his arms. "Don't worry. Now I have you and my son. I will pay extra attention when I go on a mission."
After coaxing Shen Shuyu in the house, Gu Jiandong came out to talk to his mother, "Mom, how is my dad's health?"
"It's good, but I often get so busy that I forget to eat."
Su Yueru is a mother. Even if her son is wearing long clothes and long pants, Su Yueru can tell at a glance that he is injured. "He must be injured. Remember to change the medicine."
"It's just a minor injury, nothing serious."
Gu Jiandong missed his son after not seeing him for so long, so he took his son from his mother. When Xiaoze saw his father, he immediately grinned and chatted with his father while humming some words.
"Mom, is Xiaoze well behaved when I'm not at home?"
"Good boy, my eldest grandson is so good. The best thing you did was to marry a good wife, otherwise mom would not have a grandson to hug her.
"
Gu Jiandong had just come back and didn't know that Old Lady Zhu and her family were making a fuss next door. When he was getting ready to go to bed at night, he heard some noise next door, and Shen Shuyu told him about it.
"Captain Zhu's parents, brother, and sister-in-law came and made a fuss every day, which made Sister Wang so angry that she went back to her parents' home. Captain Zhu couldn't do anything about his parents, so he refused to go home to live."
"Are they so noisy every night?"
"almost?"
"Then how can you, mom and Xiaoze sleep at night?"
"It's OK. Mom and I are big sleepers, so we fell asleep right after we lay down. Xiaoze is still young and easily gets sleepy, so he also fell asleep right after he closed his eyes."
There was a noise next door, but Shen Shuyu said it didn't affect them. However, Gu Jiandong still went to see Captain Zhu the next day. He said he had no right to interfere in their family affairs, but the noise at night affected their rest.
Captain Zhu's face was full of apology. "I'm sorry, Captain Gu, I'll let my mother and the others pay attention. There won't be any more noise tonight."
Captain Zhu came home from training today. When Mrs. Zhu saw her son, she cried to him that there was no food at home again. "Son, give me more money. Your nephew is growing up now and eats a lot. The food we bought two days ago is gone again."
"Gone again? Mom, I gave you more than 20 yuan. More than 20 yuan can buy a lot of food. How come it's gone again? Or did you not buy much food at all, and you put the money away?"
Captain Zhu sends half of his monthly allowance to his family, and his wife takes the remaining half to take care of the family's food, drink, and toilet. Captain Zhu usually has no money at all, and he has to borrow money from his comrades to buy food for his mother. Now his mother asks him for money again, but Captain Zhu has none.
Old Madam Zhu's eyes dodged, "What are you talking about? I've used the money you gave me to buy food. We have a lot to eat, you know that.
Mother knows that you have great potential, and you get a good monthly allowance. This time, give me more money. I want to buy a new set of clothes. Your father's clothes are torn, so he wants to buy two sets too."
Captain Zhu's younger brother and his wife also spoke up, "Brother, our clothes are torn too, we want to buy new clothes too."
"We have no money, and no food at home. You should go back to the countryside. There are so many of you here, Dad and Mom, eating and drinking. I can't afford to support you. I don't have a penny left.
You guys are quarreling and making a fuss every day, and it's affecting the neighbors. If you keep doing this, I'd rather take off my military uniform and go home with you to farm the land."
"Look at you, what are you saying? I worked so hard to raise you, and I begged and pleaded with everyone to get you into the army. Now you are living a comfortable life in the army.
Your parents and your brother are having a hard time living in the countryside. They just wanted to come here to live a few days of good life, but after just a few days, you want to drive your own parents back to the countryside.
If I had known you were so heartless, I should have let your brother join the army.
Well, you dislike us, right? We will leave now. We country folk will not dirty your land any more."
Old Mrs. Zhu started packing up immediately.
Old Man Zhu looked at his eldest son with disappointment and didn't say anything for a long time.
The two daughters-in-law of the Zhu family pulled their mother-in-law and said, "Mom, what are you doing? Big brother definitely doesn't mean that.
Brother, please tell me that this is not what you meant. Mom misses you every day at home. She really misses you so much that she came to the army to see you.
There is nothing good at home, only two eggs, which mother wanted to bring to you. The eggs were broken on the train, and mother was sad for a long time. She said you liked eggs the most..."
Captain Zhu's desire to send his parents back to their hometown was moved again, "Mom, don't pack your things, I'm not trying to drive you away, this is my home, and it's your home as well, you can stay here as long as you want.
I really don’t have any money right now. If you have money, you can use your own money to buy food first. I will give you the allowance when I start paying you.”
"Brother, we don't have any money. We even borrowed money to buy train tickets. Now you say we don't have money to buy food. Aren't you just trying to force us to go back?"
Brother, you disappoint us so much. You can't go home all year round. We thought you couldn't go home, so we came to see you. As long as the family is together, that place is home.
It seems that we treat you as our family, but you don't. In this case, we might as well go back to the countryside to avoid having to look at your face here. "These words were said by Captain Zhu's third brother.
"Brother, you used to be very filial to my parents, how come you have become like this now? Did my sister-in-law say anything to you? Brother, I'm not saying anything bad about my sister-in-law, but when my parents came, not only did she, as a daughter-in-law, not only did she not take care of them, she even gave them a bad face.
She was angry and took her son back to her parents' home. She stayed there for several days each time. She didn't care about your family at all. I don't think it's better to have such a daughter-in-law."
These words were said by Captain Zhu's sister-in-law.
Captain Zhu was very upset after hearing this. "She is my wife and the mother of my child. How can you say no? Don't say this again. I don't like it."
