Two generations of military wives compete for time

Ever since Qian Yiyun and Zhou Wenzhao established a romantic relationship, Zhou Wenzhao's mother, Jia Yuzhen, was extremely dissatisfied with her future daughter-in-law. She inquired about Qian Yiyun's family situation from many sources and found fault with her everywhere.

When Qian Yiyun first went to meet Zhou Wenzhao's parents, she wore a moon-white dress and white half-high heels. Zhou Wenzhao's mother Jia Yuzhen said: "Qian Yiyun wore mourning clothes to meet her parents-in-law, which was clearly a curse on her."

Qian Yiyun thought that there would definitely be a generation gap between the two generations. If they had more contact, treated each other with courtesy and sincerity, and understood each other, they would be able to have a harmonious relationship.

Zhou Wenzhao's mother, Jia Yuzhen, was a worker-peasant-soldier college student in the 1960s. She graduated from a normal school and worked as a middle school teacher. Later, she worked in the provincial cultural department. She was in menopause, had a bad temper, was harsh in her language, and was unyielding. She was even more arrogant because her husband, Zhou Xiangdong, was the head of a department of the provincial party committee.

On Saturday morning, my great uncle Chen Haoyu, my grandfather Lu Kaipu, my grandmother Chen Yalu, and my grandmother Lu Jingde were drinking tea and chatting in the living room. Li Baoguo took the four children to the gym to play basketball. Qian Yizheng and Xia Juxiang held Junyan's hands and learned to walk in the yard.

Zhou Wenzhao's mother Jia Yuzhen entered the Chen residence aggressively. Butler Li Xiaoquan did not stop her and rushed directly into the living room. Grandma Chen Yalu, sipping tea, asked slowly: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I'm looking for Qian Yiyun's parents. Qian Yiyun and my son Zhou Wenzhao are not suitable for marriage. I can't let Qian Yiyun entangle with my son. She is not worthy of my son. My son comes from an official family, and Qian Yiyun comes from a rural family. They are not a good match. I heard that Qian Yiyun's mother is a fool. Humph, I won't become a relative of a fool. It's so embarrassing." Zhou Wenzhao's mother Jia Yuzhen said arrogantly.

"Madam, please be more careful with your words," said my great uncle Chen Haoyu.

Grandpa Lu Kaipu said: "Are you sure you are Zhou Wenzhao's mother? I seriously doubt that Zhou Wenzhao is such a good child, you are not worthy of being his mother."

"How can you talk like that, old man? If I were not Zhou Wenzhao's mother, why would I care about this? Do you want me to do a paternity test with Zhou Wenzhao before you admit that I am Zhou Wenzhao's mother? This is ridiculous." Zhou Wenzhao's mother Jia Yuzhen said without any reason.

Grandma Chen Yalu said: "My daughter does have a mental illness. As soon as you came in, you were indiscriminate and spoke abusive words. I think your mental state is not normal. You'd better go to a mental hospital for treatment before coming to us and showing off, okay?"

Grandma Lu Jingde said, "You should leave quickly. Open your eyes and look around. The four of us are Qian Yiyun's elders. Do you dare to bring out all the elders of your family for eight generations and let's compare them. Don't talk nonsense here. Zhou Wenzhao and Qian Yiyun are both good children. How could they encounter such a stumbling block? It's really unlucky."

Qian Yizhen heard the conversation in the living room was much louder than usual, so he took Junyan's hand and walked to the living room. Junyan raised her hands, took two unsteady steps, and threw herself into the arms of her great-grandmother Chen Yalu. Everyone applauded: "Junyan, you're great, you can walk now."

"Aunt Jia Yuzhen, hello, I'm Qian Yizhen, Qian Yiyun's sister. It's our first meeting. Please sit down and have a cup of tea." Jia Yuzhen glanced at Qian Yizhen with disdain: "I don't want any. I don't allow Qian Yiyun to talk about marriage with my son. I've put it here, you guys can do whatever you want." After that, she turned and left the Chen Mansion.

Zhou Wenzhao's mother Jia Yuzhen gave birth to three children, a daughter and two sons. When the eldest son was ten years old, he climbed a tree to take out a bird's nest and fell to his death. From then on, the eldest daughter Zhou Wenjing and the youngest son Zhou Wenzhao became the objects of Jia Yuzhen's strict control, fearing that if something went wrong again, she would lose her beloved son or daughter.

They had to be taken to school and picked up after school, but were not allowed to stay outside, climb trees or go to the river. They were not allowed to go out during holidays either, and had to be locked at home to read and study. The brother and sister were like birds in a cage, and could only live under the control of their mother.

Sister Zhou Wenjing had excellent academic performance and chose to study abroad, mainly to get rid of her mother's control. At first, Jia Yuzhen firmly disagreed with her daughter Zhou Wenjing's study abroad. When Zhou Wenjing threatened to commit suicide and her husband Zhou Xiangdong strongly supported her daughter's study abroad, Jia Yuzhen had to let her daughter go. After graduating from the United States, her daughter immigrated to Australia, got married, had children, and never returned, completely getting rid of her mother Jia Yuzhen's control.

After her elder sister Zhou Wenjing went abroad to study, Zhou Wenzhao was the only one left under Jia Yuzhen's control. Zhou Wenzhao became the focus of Jia Yuzhen's attention. From which university to apply for, which major to study, bedding and clothing, daily necessities, and the job unit after graduation, all were arranged by her mother Jia Yuzhen. Zhou Wenzhao became her mother Jia Yuzhen's puppet.

Zhou Wenzhao's salary was all handed over to his mother for management. If he had any social expenses, he would reimburse his mother Jia Yuzhen. Zhou Wenzhao's every move could not escape the scrutiny of his mother Jia Yuzhen, who often nagging her son: "Reform and opening up have brought in mosquitoes and bedbugs. You must be wary of the temptation of bad things, such as pornography, gambling, and drugs. Once you get addicted, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Zhou Wenzhao grew up under the protection of his mother Jia Yuzhen and got used to a life controlled by his mother. Until one day, Zhou Wenzhao discovered the beautiful Qian Yiyun, and his youthful vitality was aroused. He re-examined himself, began to love beauty, and began to pay attention to Qian Yiyun's every move anytime and anywhere.

His mother Jia Yuzhen discovered her son's abnormality and asked him to confess. Zhou Wenzhao confessed: "It's just unrequited love. I'll talk about it when it's successful."

Zhou's father said to Zhou's mother, "If you take care of your son like a hen protecting her chicks, will he ever get married and start a family? Be careful not to delay your son's development. Stop taking care of every detail of your son's life. You will regret it if you continue like this."

Zhou Wenzhao's mother Jia Yuzhen said: "I am afraid that my son will be deceived. Fraudulent marriages are emerging one after another nowadays, so we can't be careless."

Zhou Wenzhao's father Zhou Xiangdong shook his head helplessly: "I can't argue with you, so just bear the consequences yourself."

Ever since Zhou Wenzhao confessed to his mother Jia Yuzhen that his girlfriend was Qian Yiyun, Jia Yuzhen mobilized all her social forces and conducted a detailed investigation of Qian Yiyun.

After knowing that Qian Yiyun's mother was a fool and Qian Yiyun's father was an illiterate farmer, Jia Yuzhen firmly raised her objections.

This was the first time Zhou Wenzhao had contradicted his mother Jia Yuzhen since he was a child. Jia Yuzhen was so angry that she ran to Chen's house and said those harsh and aggressive words.

Zhou Wenzhao refused to go home after hearing about his mother Jia Yuzhen's outburst at Chen's residence. Jia Yuzhen was so angry that she couldn't sleep at night.

Qian Yiyun knew that Zhou Wenzhao's mother Chen Fu had lost her temper, but she remained calm. It seemed that her marriage was not destined to be smooth sailing, so she had to take it one step at a time.

Qian Yizheng originally thought that Qian Yiyun's marriage was about to be completed, but he didn't expect that the relief he had just breathed a sigh of relief would be lifted again.
