Divorced Military Wife (19)
Li Chunhua followed her son and daughter-in-law to the house where they lived. As soon as she opened the door, her eyes immediately turned red.
"Why is it so small?"
For Li Chunhua, who grew up in the village, the house can be shabby, but it must not be small. This time when she built a new house, she enclosed a large area as a yard.
Even He Xuezhu's mother's house, which was shabby, was bigger than this small house.
Lin Shiheng was putting down the things in his hand, and smiled after hearing it: "Mom, this is a house given by the army, how can it be as big as ours."
"Besides, it's not convenient for Xuezhu and I to live there if it's too big."
Li Chunhua didn't listen to her comfort at all, and walked around the house with red eyes.
When Shi Heng wrote back to his family, he only said that the army had arranged a place for them to live, and everything was fine. She felt sad and only thought that her son and daughter-in-law had left her behind and happily reunited, but when she came, she found out that they were the ones who were going to live in this small house, and she, as a mother, was going to live in the new house at home.
When she looked up again, He Xuezhu saw tears in her eyes and quickly handed her a piece of paper, "Mom, this house is really not small. Shi Heng is an officer, and his house is much bigger than others."
Li Chunhua looked at her daughter-in-law. She had a gentle appearance and a worried expression, but there was no grievance or discomfort in her eyes.
He Xuezhu really felt that it was not aggrieved to live in such a small house with her son.
How could there be such a good and considerate daughter-in-law!
She grabbed the hand of the person in front of her, her eyes red and her face full of sighs: "Xuezhu, you have been wronged. It's late today. Tomorrow, mom will take you to buy clothes!"
He Xuezhu looked confused.
What was wronged with her?
But before she could ask clearly, Li Chunhua had already rushed to the chickens she had brought with great difficulty.
"Shi Heng, bring the knife!"
He Xuezhu knew at a glance that she was going to kill the chickens, and quickly rolled up her sleeves to help.
"Xuezhu, sit down, you child, you can't see blood when you are pregnant, mom will do it!"
Oh, this child, she still wants to do things while pregnant, she is much more sensible than those stupid wives in the village. How can she not take good care of her wife who is so good!
Seeing that the old lady had rubbed her hands and went out, Lin Shiheng took the kitchen knife and smiled at his wife who was full of doubts: "Mom is worried about you coming to the army with a big belly."
He Xuezhu suddenly realized, and then felt a little embarrassed: "I haven't been able to help in any way since I came to the army..."
"What help have you not helped?"
"Every time I go on a mission, I feel at ease when I think of you waiting for me at home."
He Xuezhu's face turned red a little bit, and she gently pushed her husband: "Okay, go out quickly, Mom is still waiting."
After the two of them spent time together day and night, she realized that Shiheng liked to say love words in such a serious manner. As a person who had lived in an environment where people would point fingers at her even when she held hands since she was a child, she had changed from being embarrassed and unable to speak at the beginning to being shy now, but couldn't stop the sweetness in her heart.
Lin Shiheng smiled and reached out to touch her head, and came to Li Chunhua with a kitchen knife, who was bending over to check the hens with their legs tied one by one.
"Mom, which one do you want to kill? I'll do it."
Li Chunhua didn't bother to be polite with her son and chose a chicken that looked more energetic. "This is it. Hurry up and kill it and I'll stew it for you. You have to send me to the guesthouse later."
She didn't plan to live in the compound. When her son just joined the army, Li Chunhua had learned about the army's regulations. Only the soldier's spouse or children could accompany the army. She had never heard of a mother accompanying the army. Similarly, she certainly couldn't live in this compound.
And there was only one bed in such a small house. If she lived there, she wouldn't be able to squeeze in.
After hearing what his mother said, the man in a neat military uniform squatted down and bled the hen in his hand neatly. "Mom, I can't go with you tomorrow. I received another notice before I went to pick you up. I have to stay in the army for another day tomorrow before I can take a vacation."
"It's okay, I'll take Xuezhu with me."
Li Chunhua was a little disappointed, but she adjusted quickly.
She was just planning to tell her daughter-in-law not to do anything with her son during pregnancy. They left in a hurry before, and Li Chunhua herself was immersed in "her son is infertile" and "fortunately, he left a single child before he was infertile" and she was in a trance. After they left, she realized that she had forgotten to tell him.
It's not easy to write about this kind of thing in a letter, so she can only wait until tomorrow to tell Xuezhu in person.
The chicken was killed quickly, and the mother and son plucked the feathers together. Neither of them thought of asking He Xuezhu in the house to come out to help, and they cleaned up together.
The yard is so big, and they all live together, so the movement here has also been seen by some people.
Miao Xing opened the door of her house, poured out the water, and looked at the mother and son who were working hard opposite, and her eyes flashed.
I didn't expect He Xuezhu to be such an unfilial person. In such a cold day, the mother-in-law was killing chickens outside, and even her husband came to help, but she, as a daughter-in-law, hid in the house and didn't come out.
However, it's good this way.
The less filial He Xuezhu is, the easier it is for her to get between them.
She's just an old rural woman, isn't it easy to please her?
Try to think about it, when He Xuezhu was struggling to be pregnant, her mother-in-law was very fond of another woman, and this woman might have had an affair with her husband.
If she could stimulate the child in her belly to have an accident...
Miao Xing stood by the door with a basin in his hand, and the corners of his lips slowly rose.
Li Chunhua stood up with satisfaction looking at the plucked chicken. As soon as he straightened his waist, he found a woman standing in front of a small house opposite.
It's so cold, wearing so little and standing for so long, it's good that he didn't shiver from the cold, but he was still smiling.
There's nothing wrong with his brain.
Li Chunhua immediately thought of the lunatic in the village, and quickly stabbed the chicken with chopsticks.
I have to tell Xuezhu to stay away from such people, otherwise the child in her belly will be scared.
***
Early in the morning of the next day, Lin Shiheng put the wallet in his mother's hand and began to instruct her.
"Mom, keep the money. Xuezhu knows the way and knows how to get there. She also knows the army's phone number. There is a phone booth on the roadside. If you have any questions, call me."
"Don't get close to people wearing makeup on the road. I heard that if pregnant women inhale these cosmetics, it will be bad for the baby's health. I don't know if it's true or not. Anyway, it's better to be careful."
"Also, don't always buy for Xuezhu and me, but also buy for yourself. You haven't bought new clothes for yourself for such a long time. I have money and I'm not afraid of you spending it. Mom, don't save it for me."
His tone was a little complaining, but Li Chunhua was not angry at all.
Her son was worried about her!
Look, he didn't let her buy for Xuezhu, but asked her to buy for herself.
Although she was so happy that she was about to smoke, Li Chunhua still had a stern face: "What are you talking about! You don't feel sorry for your daughter-in-law at all!"
"Xuezhu is already uncomfortable with her pregnancy, what's wrong with buying some new clothes! I like to buy new clothes for Xuezhu!"
He Xuezhu just came out of the house after packing up and heard this, and was immediately moved.
How could her mother-in-law be so good.
As soon as Li Chunhua met the admiring eyes of her daughter-in-law, her back straightened even more.
Lin Shiheng smiled helplessly, "Xuezhu has new clothes. Her belly got bigger a while ago, and she couldn't wear the old clothes. I just bought them for her."
"What's wrong with just buying them? Xuezhu is so young, she should wear more beautiful clothes." Li Chunhua didn't take this sentence seriously at all. Not only was the house small, but even the wardrobe was so small. Such a small wardrobe could only hold a few pieces of clothes.
"Listen to mom, listen to mom."
Lin Shiheng said, turning to look at his wife: "You heard it, mom also advocates buying you new clothes. Next time I take you to the mall, don't refuse this and that."
"Mom, then I'm leaving. Remember to buy a few clothes for yourself."
Li Chunhua felt comforted in her heart, but waved her hand with disdain on her face: "I know, I know, hurry up and get busy."
Really, this son, how can he be so filial!
She turned around happily, and in a good mood, she took her wife's arm: "Xuezhu, let's go."
"Today, mom will buy you some nice clothes..."
As she was talking, the door of the house opposite suddenly opened, and Miao Xing, who was dressed beautifully and had light makeup on her face, came out and waved at this side: "Xuezhu!"
He Xuezhu turned around in confusion, watching Miao Xing walk over with a smile, and then smiled at Li Chunhua: "This is the mother of Captain Lin, hello, auntie, my name is Miao Xing, I live in the house opposite."
She was dressed beautifully, had a kind smile, and a generous attitude, which should be enough to make a rural woman have a certain good impression.
Li Chunhua has not forgotten the person she saw last night and suspected that he was not smart.
She was so alert that she wanted to pull her daughter-in-law away, but she also put on a smile: "Hello, hello."
"Let's not talk about it for now. I'll take Xuezhu to the mall to buy clothes."
The surprise on Miao Xing's face suddenly deepened: "It just so happens that I want to go too. Let's go together?"
Li Chunhua's eyebrows trembled imperceptibly, and she turned to look at her daughter-in-law, but she saw that she was also confused, and it was clear that she was not familiar with this person named Miao Xing.
She went shopping with her daughter-in-law to talk about private things, why did a stranger come to join in the fun!
Miao Xing just pretended not to see the reluctance in the eyes of the old lady in front of her, but she knew clearly that women like this from the countryside were originally inferior.
Even if she was unhappy, she would definitely not be embarrassed to refuse her.
Sure enough, Li Chunhua hesitated for a few seconds, and finally opened her mouth: "That's fine, then we..."
As she was talking, she suddenly paused, "What's that red thing on your lips?"
"Oh, it's lipstick."
Miao Xing smiled very considerately: "This is cosmetics. Auntie, if you like it, I'll buy you a set when we go to the mall later."
This should have shortened the distance, but Li Chunhua took her daughter-in-law back a big step.
Her son said that cosmetics are harmful to the baby in a pregnant woman's belly!
"No, no, I suddenly remembered that I have something personal to do, so we won't go together."
"Well, Miao Yue, go shopping by yourself, what a coincidence, Xuezhu, come on, come with mom!"
Li Chunhua pulled her daughter-in-law to retreat quickly, looking like she couldn't avoid it.
Miao Xing stood there, with a smile frozen on her face.
Her name is Miao Xing!
The author has something to say: There will be more updates at 9 o'clock in the evening~
This chapter will still randomly send red envelopes to 100 little angels, muah!
Jinjiang is really a dead draw. It took a lot of effort to get my cover out, but I couldn't click to enter the backstage. I couldn't see it from the catalog after it was published. I'm afraid that the little angels won't see the new chapter and gradually forget about me. I will mark it in the text after I update a chapter in the future!
