Chapter 472 Supplement + Update = 2 in 1
Old Madam Zhu sat on the mahogany sofa in the living room, looking lovingly at her grandchildren inside and outside the house, and then at her four filial and considerate daughters-in-law, her heart filled with happiness.
Back then, she was just the daughter of an uneducated bandit leader. Who could have imagined that she would be where she is today?
All the sons are capable and filial, the daughters-in-law get along well with each other, the nine grandchildren are even more sensible and filial, and the brothers and sisters are in harmony with each other.
This life is really worth it.
She felt that all this was thanks to her wisdom and bravery back then!
Mrs. Zhu had not received much education, but she felt that she had a bright mind.
She and her husband were both rough men who wielded swords and guns and had little education. Their sons grew up in a wild way. The only reason that none of them grew up bad was because of the merits and blessings they had accumulated by killing enemies and defending their country on the battlefield.
But the next generation of grandchildren may not be so lucky.
She and her husband were determined to help the Zhu family completely get rid of the "uneducated peasant" mentality and ensure that the Zhu family's legacy would continue to flourish.
Who can reach their position without ambition?
So, when her eldest son grew up and his words and deeds became more and more like his rough father, Madam Zhu could no longer sit still. She went to seek advice from her two good sisters and old comrades from aristocratic families.
Old Madam Wei and Old Madam Zhou told her a truth: whether a family is harmonious or not and whether the grandchildren are well educated, sons are certainly important, but the character and education of the daughter-in-law are even more crucial.
Marry a virtuous wife, marrying an unvirtuous wife will ruin three generations - this is the experience our ancestors gained for future generations with blood and tears.
Old Madam Zhu didn't understand the complicated principles, but she understood one thing: if she couldn't rely on her son, she would just change the track and start with her daughter-in-law!
As the saying goes, listen to advice and you will have a full meal!
She is a person who especially listens to advice!
At that time, the younger generations in the compound who were about the same age as Zhu Kaige, the eldest son of the Zhu family, began to talk about marriage one after another, and the whole compound was very lively.
Each family has its own approach: some allow their sons to fall in love freely, and whether their daughter-in-law is good or not depends entirely on fate;
Some men force a match, by forcing a relative girl whom they think is good to marry her to their son. How the son lives with his family depends on his conscience.
Some marriages are arranged purely for family interests. As long as the elders are satisfied, the children's feelings... are not important at all.
This is not okay...
She wanted to change the family fortune and hoped that her grandchildren would receive a proper education and upbringing, become successful and upright, but she could not ignore the happiness of her own son.
So when she was choosing a daughter-in-law, she asked her two close sisters to help her analyze the situation. After deciding on the right person, she also asked her son to meet the girl first and get to know each other better, so as to avoid her good intentions turning into a couple with bad feelings.
Once both parties feel it is suitable, the marriage will be finalized.
Oh, none of this has anything to do with her youngest son.
Her youngest son has been smarter than his brothers since he was young. He knew what was right and wrong from a young age. He had set his eyes on her eldest sister's precious daughter early on. He fought and snatched her away many steps ahead and took the good girl for himself. He was also very good at coaxing his wife's family, so his parents didn't have to worry about him at all.
The most important thing is that the couple gave birth to the only precious daughter for the Zhu family!
The more Madam Zhu thought about it, the happier she became. The corners of her mouth were grinning... and she couldn't stop grinning at all!
The old man walked around in front of his wife twice, hands behind his back, but failed to attract her attention. He sat down beside her with a sullen look, his nose not nose, his eyes not eyes, and he said, "Don't laugh, old lady! It's New Year's Day and you're grinning like that. It's scary!"
The smile on Madam Zhu's face disappeared instantly. She slowly turned her head to take a look, sneered, and exuded an oppressive aura.
"Zhu Dadao, I gave you face, right? You have to force me to beat you up when I am happiest, right?"
Zhu Dadao: “…”
The old man's scalp went numb after he started teasing. With a speed and flexibility that was totally inconsistent with his age, he exerted force on his waist, turned around and stood up, and walked quickly towards the door, finding a step for himself to go down as he walked.
"That old guy Zhu Ertie is getting worse and worse. Dinner is almost ready, why hasn't he come back yet? I'll go to the door to greet him."
The three little Zhu kids in the yard looked at their grandfather with curiosity as he hurried out of the gate. It looked like... there was a tigress chasing him!
"By the way, little sister, why didn't you bring Huahua and Fugui?" Zhu Guo thought of the two majestic beasts at his sister's house. He was so envious that he drooled in his dreams. He thought he would be able to see them when he came back for the New Year.
Bai Nuo looked up at Zhu Guo, who was sweating profusely but never said a word about giving up.
The Zhu family is indeed a family of soldiers. Even the youngest, Zhu Guo, who has not yet joined the army, has the tenacity of a Dragon Country soldier in his bones.
"They're so big. Even when they were living in the family compound, people were inevitably afraid of them, let alone here. During the New Year, every household has many elderly and children, and bringing them back home and scaring people would be troublesome. When we went out, we took them to the mountains to play. There are many animals they know in the mountains, so it can be considered a New Year's gathering."
Zhu Kaixuan had originally wanted to bring them to Compound No. 1, but Bai Nuo finally decided against it. It was New Year's Eve, so there was no need to cause trouble for the Zhu family.
So she immediately took the four little ones home into her space. How could she bear to leave them alone in the mountains during Chinese New Year? She had to return to her space to spend the New Year comfortably with the small system and the three robots. She and Fang Meng could go in and check on them in the evenings when she had nothing to do.
"Oh, right, second brother. Just now when we were in the house, grandma asked me if we should go to the Fang family today, New Year's Eve."
"No need!" Fang Meng shook his head decisively. "I called Grandpa yesterday, and he and Grandma are going back to their hometown to worship their ancestors early this morning. There's only Fang Guoqiang and his family there. Going to see them on New Year's Eve? You're really giving them face."
Like Mr. Zhu, Mr. Fang's parents were both from rural areas. Mr. Zhu's hometown was in Heilongjiang Province in northeastern China, far from Beijing, making it inconvenient to return. Mr. Fang's hometown, on the other hand, was a small mountain village in Qinshi, Hebei Province, not far from Beijing. A morning drive would bring him there almost evening. So every Lunar New Year, the couple would make a trip back home whenever they could.
However, ever since their eldest son, Fang Guoqiang, was tricked into marrying a troublemaker, the old couple never let them go back home with them. Even the twin brother and sister, a boy and a girl, who were born later, never visited the Fang family's ancestral land, clearly telling everyone: the Fang family ancestors disowned the children born to that troublemaker.
Even Fang Guoqiang, who lived in the same compound with his parents, was never allowed by his father and mother to bring his wife and the two children he had later. It was always Fang Guoqiang who went home to see his parents alone.
It is obvious that the old couple looked down on the young wife their son later married and the brother and sister they had.
"Hey, are you two going to Fang's house?"
Zhu Guo was just regretting that he didn't have the chance to see the two big beasts during the New Year holidays. He didn't hear clearly what his younger sister and Fang Meng said. He only vaguely heard "Fang family" and suddenly remembered what he heard from his childhood friend in the compound a few days ago.
"I heard from my childhood friend that a while ago, Fang Li, the youngest son of the Fang family, ran out of money and didn't dare ask his father for it, so he went to ask Grandma Fang for it. Grandma Fang ignored him completely. That bastard took advantage of the old man's absence and pushed Grandma Fang in anger. The old lady sprained her waist and stayed in the hospital for three days before returning."
"What did you say!"
Fang Meng and Bai Nuo stood up at the same time, their faces instantly covered with icy murderous intent. They exchanged a glance, simultaneously placed their belongings on the ground, and turned to walk out the door.
Zhu Guo was so shocked by the two men's posture that he stood there in a daze. He quickly put down his things and was about to follow them out, but he saw the two men coming back with murderous intent.
"Hey, you two..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw two people walking straight towards two small compartments in the backyard that were used to store miscellaneous items.
A minute later, Bai Nuo and Fang Meng pushed open the door and walked out. Their military uniforms were gone, replaced by dark sportswear. Bai Nuo also had a worn horsewhip in his hand.
Zhu Guo stared in amazement at the two people who disappeared at the gate of the courtyard again. He took a deep breath and quickly ran out.
He had heard before that Fang's second son often took the little girl from Bai's family to Fang Guosheng's place to make trouble, but when they were young, their fights could be regarded as conflicts between children. Now they have grown up!
Don’t let anyone get killed!!!
Zhu Guo had no doubt at all that his younger sister and future brother-in-law were going to kill someone. The two of them looked so murderous, who would dare to doubt him?
Fang Meng and Bai Nuo don't care about that.
Since Fang Guoqiang's second marriage, although the Fang brothers have lived in the Zhou and Bai families all year round, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang will visit the brothers whenever they are free. They will send any good things to the two grandsons first and treat Bai Nuo and Bai Yukai no differently from their own grandchildren.
The old couple truly loved Fang Meng and Fang Zhou. Otherwise, why would they refuse to let their son bring the three of them over just because the brothers hated their stepmother and the subsequent twins? Even during ancestral worship, they never brought the two siblings along, clearly not wanting their ancestors to recognize them.
When Bai Nuo and Fang Meng were in the countryside, the old couple sent a lot of things and money to the two children after they learned about it. After returning to Beijing, Fang Meng visited the old couple alone with the medicinal wine and tea specially brewed by Bai Nuo.
Both of them were domineering and protective by nature. Now that they knew that bastard had hurt the old lady, how could they possibly tolerate it? They were soldiers now, but they were definitely not cuckolds, so how could they tolerate it!
Every household is busy preparing New Year's Eve dinners, and Fang Guoqiang is also busy at the end of the year. He currently works at the General Political Department of the Kyoto Military, serving as Director of the Organization Department, with the rank of Colonel.
He does look good, almost 45 years old, but he has already reached this position. Everyone would say that he is capable. But compared with those friends who grew up with him, his rank of full colonel is not good enough.
Especially Zhu Kaixuan, the eldest son of the Zhu family who returned to the team not long ago. At the age of 37, he has already become the commander of a field army with the rank of general. His future is truly limitless.
Not to mention the other brothers of the Zhu family, each of them has a higher position and a more important status than the other.
The sons of the Zhu family are all more capable than each other. As long as they don't do anything naughty, they will definitely have a good future. They are good sons who will definitely bring honor to their parents and elders.
Naturally, his two sons are also good. At a young age, they are officers who are being trained as key personnel in their respective military regions. In particular, the second son is only 19 years old this year, but he is already the deputy regimental commander of a key combat-ready military region. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the youngest deputy regimental commander in a military region across the country.
Who would be unhappy if he had such a son? He would wake up laughing even in his dreams.
But his son...
Fang Guoqiang pinched his brows in a headache. Thinking of the farce at home a few days ago, he would be thankful if his son didn't come back and shoot him twice, let alone bring him honor.
"Guoqiang, come and have dinner. I cooked everything you like today." A gentle voice came, and Mu Lian, wearing a pink polyester shirt and with a delicate posture, walked out of the kitchen holding a white plate.
She is in her early thirties, with a pretty face and a bit of charm. Although her appearance is not stunning at first glance, she is a pitiful and graceful girl with a graceful figure. She always looks at her husband with admiration and attachment, like a delicate and harmless dodder, making some men with a patriarchal mentality in their bones want to protect her.
But when the woman looked at the man today, there was a hint of flattery on her face, and she kept her posture extremely low, as if she was afraid that she would do something wrong and make the man angry.
Fang Guoqiang felt his headache getting worse when he saw his wife like this.
He knew that many men in the army liked such women, who regarded him as their heaven and could not live without him. This could arouse men's desire to protect them and give many chauvinistic men psychological satisfaction.
In the first few years, he actually liked her very much. Mu Lian was completely different from his ex-wife, and he found it very fresh.
My ex-wife is a strong-willed, resolute, cheerful and generous person. She is quick and efficient in her work and never drags her feet. She is so good at work that many men feel inferior to her. However, she is gentle and considerate to her family, well-educated, and has a stable temper. She is a very good wife and an even better mother.
I have to say that the girls carefully nurtured by these aristocratic families are really incomparable to those from ordinary families.
He was an uneducated, rough man. He couldn't help but be attracted to his ex-wife when he saw her for the first time. Unfortunately... their marriage was too shallow.
He was also very painful at the beginning, but he also knew that it was impossible for him to never marry again in this life, but he never thought about remarrying so soon.
Even for the sake of his two sons and his own reputation, he would have to wait at least a year or two before considering it.
But the incident happened so suddenly that there was no time to think. As a soldier, seeing civilians fall into the water, how could he not save them? In the end, after rescuing the civilians, he found himself with a young wife who was ten years younger than him.
It’s no wonder that the two sons were angry, as their mother had only been dead for less than two months.
But what could he do! If he didn't agree, the girl's reputation in the village would be ruined, and the girl's parents would still drag her to death with them.
In the end, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and marry her home.
I originally thought that I was the best mediator in the middle, and the little girl seemed to be well-behaved and sensible, so the two children would accept her sooner or later.
In the first two months, although the two children didn't like to pay attention to his new wife, there were no major conflicts, and the home was indeed still a home.
But somehow, things started to get out of hand. The two originally well-behaved and sensible sons not only beat Mu Lian, but also almost caused his wife, who was only one month pregnant, to have a miscarriage.
He rushed home furious and slapped his youngest son without saying a word.
As a result... the two children packed up all their things and went to the Bai family. Since then, they have never come back to live here.
Fang Guoqiang sat at the table filled with a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner and glanced at his wife and their two children.
A family of four should be lively and bustling during the New Year holidays.
But he felt an inexplicable sadness in his heart.
He became estranged from his two biological sons, and even his parents gradually drifted away from him.
He used to think that one day, this family’s New Year’s Eve dinner would become a real family reunion dinner.
But now he suddenly felt that he might never see that day in his lifetime!
At this moment, there was a sudden loud "bang" from the Fang family's door!
