Chapter 70 Becoming One of Us

As soon as the couple stepped out of the house, Chen Cui Juan’s sharp eyes noticed something was wrong. Yesterday, it was her daughter who was considerate of Gu Ye’s feelings. Today, it was completely reversed! It was Gu Ye who was carefully coaxing his daughter.

And although they didn’t say anything or act particularly differently, Chen Cui Juan just felt that her daughter and son-in-law’s relationship had gotten better. She was a country woman, she didn’t know anything about deep or shallow feelings, she just felt that her son-in-law’s gaze towards her daughter was embarrassing! It was her daughter, after all. At this moment, she felt a little redundant. Chen Cui Juan was a little upset. She couldn’t eat her breakfast properly. She was worried when her daughter and son-in-law’s relationship wasn’t good, but now that it was too good, she felt like her daughter was being stolen away. Shen Zhiyu noticed that Chen Cui Juan was not in a good state, she found it a little funny, she held it in and said to Chen Cui Juan in a coquettish tone, “Mom, I want to eat the fish you make, the fish pieces I used to eat when I was a child.”

Hearing this, Chen Cui Juan immediately became excited. “If you want to eat it, Mom will make it for you at noon!” What did it matter that she was married, she was still her daughter. Feeling her daughter’s need, Chen Cui Juan came back to life. Shen Zhiyu sighed inwardly, it was she who was pregnant, why did she feel so tired? She had to coax the man, and she had to coax her mother! Ever since Chen Cui Juan came, Fu Chunmei had almost treated Shen Zhiyu’s place as her second home. She came every day on time, like she was going to work. Even Vice Tuan Zhang Ma told her that she might as well find a job, these words went straight to Fu Chunmei’s heart.

 But Chen Cui Juan gave her an idea, “He said he wants you to go to work, you must not say yes directly, you have to act very reluctant, just tell him that he’s forcing you to go to work, and you have no choice but to go.” Fu Chunmei was a person who couldn’t keep secrets, and she had a strong desire to confide in others. Chen Cui Juan had already figured out all the things that happened in her family. Her family was sucking her blood, and her in-laws were also bullying her, but she was a hard-working person. If it wasn’t because she was close to her daughter, and she usually encountered this kind of hard-working woman who took pride in being hard-working, Chen Cui Juan wouldn’t even bother with her.

Fortunately, Fu Chunmei hadn’t gone completely crazy, and she was slowly starting to wake up. Hearing Chen Cui Juan’s words, she took careful notes, and she also asked Chen Cui Juan for advice. After listening to all this, she looked at Shen Zhiyu, who was lying on the bamboo reclining chair, basking in the sun with her eyes closed, like a cat that she had seen before, basking in the sun comfortably, she suddenly understood why Shen Zhiyu was the way she was now. She was a little delicate, but she wasn’t selfish, she was actually very kind.

With a mother like that, it would be strange if Shen Zhiyu wasn’t like this. San Ni, who was sitting next to her, was still a little confused, she seemed to understand what the adults were saying, but she didn’t seem to understand. But one thing was clear, if Grandma Chen was her grandma, it would be great. Chen Cui Juan turned her head and saw the little girl staring at her with big eyes, she smiled and gave San Ni a candy. Fu Chunmei came to their house almost every day, Shen Zhiyu and Chen Cui Juan were used to it. But today, there was an unexpected visitor at their house. Zhu Fang was also holding a bunch of green vegetables, she squeezed out a smile, “Auntie, I came to sit for a while, is Teacher Shen at home?” “She’s here, come in, come in, Chunmei is here too!”

 Zhu Fang didn’t expect Fu Chunmei to be here, she immediately regretted it. If she had known that Fu Chunmei was here, she wouldn’t have come. But……thinking of what Political Commissar Zhou had said to her before he went out, he told her not to stay at home all day, to go out more, she gritted her teeth and greeted Fu Chunmei, “You’re here too.”

 Fu Chunmei’s face immediately fell, she gave a perfunctory fake smile. After Zhu Fang sat down, she immediately looked at Shen Zhiyu with a critical gaze, the look was like a real wife looking at a cheating scumbag. They were all country military wives, why would she interact with Zhu Fang, a city military wife. Shen Zhiyu had almost forgotten about this, after understanding Fu Chunmei’s meaning, her mouth twitched. They were all mothers, why could they only play with certain people, and not others. She glared at her angrily, then stood up and talked to Zhu Fang, “Why did you suddenly come over, is there anything?” When Zhu Fang saw Shen Zhiyu standing up, she quickly waved her hand, “No, no, I just came to sit for a while and talk to you, don’t get up.

” Since Zhu Fang said so, Shen Zhiyu didn’t hesitate any further. She also had a guess. Probably Political Commissar Zhou saw that Zhu Fang was staying at home all day, he was afraid that she would get sick from being cooped up, so he asked her to go out more. She also liked Zhu Fang quite a bit. Although they had only spent less than an hour together in the car that day, Zhu Fang had also taught her a lot of experience about being a teacher.

After Shen Zhiyu and Chen Cui Juan introduced them, Chen Cui Juan became even more enthusiastic towards Zhu Fang, “Oh, you should have said so earlier, Yu Yu is really lucky, she has such good neighbors.” These words praised both Zhu Fang and Fu Chunmei, Fu Chunmei’s face finally looked better. “So, are you still teaching now, Xiao Zhu?” “No.

” When she said this, Zhu Fang’s face was a little embarrassed, but she thought that Chen Cui Juan and Shen Zhiyu were so honest with her, so she didn’t feel embarrassed to hide anything, and she said it directly. When Shen Zhiyu heard this, she was almost startled and sat up. It wasn’t very far from the county to the garrison.

 Now the roads were bad and transportation wasn’t developed, many children had to climb over a mountain to go to school, and a one or two-hour journey was considered short. There were many female comrades here who were originally from the county, and after getting married, they lived in the family compound, but they still went to work in the county every day.

 Zhu Fang had taught at the best school in the county before, she thought it was strange at the time, it was just a marriage, why did Zhu Fang suddenly quit her job?

 Such a good job, she just quit. At that time, she thought it was simply because Zhu Fang didn’t want to commute so far. Now she knew, wow, it turned out that Zhu Fang’s mother said that Political Commissar Zhou’s salary was high, and Zhu Fang and Political Commissar Zhou didn’t need that little bit of money. Her older brother and sister-in-law only had her older brother working, it was difficult to support a whole family, so they asked Zhu Fang to give her job to her sister-in-law. You have to know that a formal job now was an iron rice bowl.

 Even if you didn’t want to do it, you could still sell this formal job position, it could be worth hundreds or thousands of dollars.

Shen Zhiyu: “…….” But Fu Chunmei felt inexplicably closer to Zhu Fang after hearing this.

Why? Because she found that Zhu Fang was just as pitiful as her, they were both pitiful people who were being exploited by their families. With shared experiences, the distance between them suddenly narrowed, they were now on the same side!
