Chapter 89: The Boastful Third Brother

After Lin Shulan’s outburst, those who had been gossiping fell silent, their faces slightly embarrassed.

When Zhou Yubai joined the army, the country’s relationship with Country S was tense due to border conflicts, and no one knew when the war might break out again.

They were indeed reluctant to let their sons join the army, and they were relieved when they knew Zhou Yubai had signed up.

Lin Shulan glanced at these people.

Turning around, she comforted her daughter-in-law, “Yubai’s wife, don’t mind these jealous people, just treat them as farting!”

Shen Chuning sniffed, nodded, and said to Lin Shulan in a wronged voice, “Thank you, Mother.”

“What’s there to thank for, you’re married into our family, you’re like my own daughter.”

After taking Shen Chuning home, Lin Shulan urged, “Ningning, quickly open Yubai’s letter and see what he wrote.”

She, as a mother, hadn’t received news from her son for three or four months, and she was naturally worried.

Shen Chuning thought of the letter she wrote to her husband, she had written a lot of mushy words.

Worried that her husband might also write mushy words back to her, she felt a little embarrassed to read the letter in front of her mother-in-law.

But seeing her mother-in-law’s expectant look, she couldn’t bear to disappoint her.

She anxiously opened the envelope, and her heart beat fast as she took out the letter paper.

However, when she saw the content on the letter paper, her expression froze.

Seeing her expression, Lin Shulan was even more anxious, “Ningning, what’s wrong? What did Yubai say in the letter?

Did something happen to Yubai?”

Shen Chuning pouted, “No, he just said, ‘Everything is fine, don’t worry.'”

Saying this, she handed the letter to her mother-in-law.

Her husband was fine, she should be happy, but why did she feel so uncomfortable?

She wrote three full pages to her husband, still feeling the paper wasn’t long enough, her husband’s reply, including punctuation, was only eight characters.

How much did he dislike her?

As soon as Lin Shulan saw the content of the letter, she knew why Shen Chuning had that expression.

“This Yubai, why is he like a mute, writing to his wife, he doesn’t even write a few more words.

Ningning, don’t feel bad, when he comes back next time, Mother will help you tell him off!

Before he got married, he didn’t write to us old folks except for sending money, now he writes to his wife, only these two words, it’s simply outrageous!”

Shen Chuning’s disappointment stemmed from her high expectations before reading the letter.

But she had already adjusted her emotions.

She comforted her mother-in-law, “Mother, it’s good that Brother Yubai is safe and sound. He’s either on a mission or training in the army, his time is tight, I’m already very happy that he took the time to let me know he’s safe.”

Hearing her daughter-in-law’s sensible words, Lin Shulan felt a little heartache.

Her husband left just three days after the wedding, and the letter didn’t even have a word of affection, any woman would feel sad.

People say her daughter-in-law doesn’t work in the fields, enjoys life, is lucky, and has a comfortable life, but who knows her hardships?

After Lin Shulan left, Shen Chuning still stubbornly looked at the eight-character letter over and over again.

Accidentally holding the letter paper up to the sunlight, she suddenly found that there seemed to be faint imprints of writing on the letter paper.

Her eyes lit up, she excitedly got up and found a pencil to rub over the letter paper.

Sure enough, the writing appeared.

“Ningning my wife…”

Seeing these four words, sweetness instantly spread in Shen Chuning’s heart…

After reading the revealed content, she couldn’t help but roll around happily on the bed.

It turned out that her husband wasn’t ignoring her, he had written the letter but didn’t dare to send her such a mushy letter.

She thought about it, her husband’s letter would be placed at the brigade headquarters.

The people in the team were all related, some nosy people in the village would think that anything related to their relatives was theirs and would open and read it directly.

Just like the aunt who snatched her remittance slip today.

With a sweet heart, Shen Chuning put the letter away and put it in a locked rosewood box.

This box was her dowry, also left by her mother.

Her father said it was her maternal grandparents’ dowry to her mother, and now it was passed down to her.

Shen Chuning excitedly laid out the letter paper and wrote back to her husband.

Meanwhile, at the army, Shen Zhengrong also received Shen Chuning’s letter and package.

Opening the package, there was a scarf of the same color and pattern as Zhou Yubai’s.

Shen Zhengrong proudly put the scarf around his neck and looked at Zhou Yubai, “A scarf knitted by my sister is warm.

Brother-in-law, I think my scarf is more even and beautiful than yours!

That’s right, my sister didn’t do these things at home before, she learned it now, the first trial product and the second carefully knitted finished product must be different.

My sister also said in the letter that after her assessment, she will learn to make shoes, and she will make me a new pair of shoes then.”

“My sister is really sensible and capable, she can be a student of the commune accountant, and she will be one of the eight major officials of the commune…”

Shen Zhengrong said, looking triumphantly at Zhou Yubai.

Before, he thought that his sister marrying Mr. Zhou was her climbing up, after all, there were many girls pursuing Mr. Zhou in the army, it was her good luck that he, who was only good-looking, was chosen.

But now times have changed, his sister seemed to have changed after getting married.

Such a capable, sensible, and beautiful sister was taken away by Zhou Yubai, an older man eight years older than her, he was heartbroken!

Zhou Yubai’s sharp and serious face showed no emotion, his deep gaze swept over Shen Zhengrong, “During work hours, address each other by rank.”

Saying this, Zhou Yubai put on his hat with a cold face and left.

Shen Zhengrong was even happier.

He would tease him for taking his sister away!

Shen Chuning didn’t know about her third brother’s childish behavior in the army.

In her letter, she specifically told Zhou Yubai about the remittance slip being snatched by others, and told him not to send her money anymore, she would have a salary after getting a job.

The next day, Shen Chuning went to mail the letter during lunchtime.

Unexpectedly, she met Wang Yumeng again.

But when she arrived, Wang Yumeng had already left, she only saw Wang Yumeng’s back leaving the post office when she parked her bicycle.
