"Lao Qin? Why are you back again?"

In the army cafeteria, Meng Jianping saw Qin Zongwu with a puzzled look on his face.

Yu Zhenghai sat next to Meng Jianping and jokingly said, "Why else? It must be because his wife didn't cook for him!"

Qin Zongwu glanced at the two of them and replied indifferently.

"Don't you two have wives too? Why are you still eating in the cafeteria?"

When Meng Jianping heard this, a pale look appeared on his face.

Yu Zhenghai explained directly, "I stayed in the cafeteria to eat because I wanted to accompany Lao Meng. I'm not like you!"

Qin Zongwu raised his eyebrows and looked at Meng Jianping.

"Why, is there another fire in the backyard?"

Meng Jianping felt even more upset upon hearing this, and immediately began to complain. "Alas! They say that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, but in my family, this relationship is brought to full play!

Tell me, were they enemies in their previous life? Why can't they tolerate each other?

There have been a big fight every three days and a small fight every two days. I really can’t stand it anymore!

"Old Yu, you also have a mother. Tell me, how do your wife and your mother get along?"

Yu Zhenghai felt quite sympathetic towards Meng Jianping, "Old Meng, if it were you, you shouldn't let your mother and wife live together.

Your wife is not someone you can easily mess with, and your mother is too nosy. These two are together every day, it would be strange if they didn't fight!"

Of course Meng Jianping knew this. "I know that too! But my father passed away early, and I can't leave my mother alone in the village."

Yu Zhenghai: "Then just do your wife's work!"

Meng Jianping's face turned even more bitter when he heard this!

If he could do the job, he wouldn't have to hide away when his wife and mother started fighting!

Meng Jianping glanced at Qin Zongwu who was eating next to him with his head down, his face full of envy.

"Ah! Old Qin is so lucky. He doesn't have to deal with the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem. It saves him a lot of worry!"

Qin Zongwu: “…”

Is the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really that difficult? They actually think that not having a father or a mother is a good thing!

"sister in law!"

Ruan Zhao walked into Wang Shufang's house with a bag of fried dough twist, intending to find out some information first.

Wang Shufang had just finished lunch and hurried out when she heard the noise.

"Xiao Ruan is here, come in quickly."

"Didn't I disturb my sister-in-law's meal?"

"No, no, I'm full."

Ruan Zhao followed Wang Shufang into the house and handed her the fried dough twist in his hand.

"Sister-in-law, these are the fried dough twists I made myself for the children to eat."

(Actually, I took it out of the storage ring, unpacked it, and put it in an oil paper bag.)

Wang Shufang was about to push it back when she saw it. "What are you doing? Why are you bringing something from my sister-in-law's house? You're being too formal with her."

"Sister-in-law, this is not my first time here. As an aunt, it's my duty to bring some food to the children. I won't bring it next time."

Seeing that Ruan Zhao was determined to give it to her, Wang Shufang stopped refusing and finally took it. "Okay, then you are not allowed to take anything from now on.

My two kids are grown up now and aren’t at home often, so they don’t get to eat these.”

Wang Shufang has two sons, one is nineteen years old and works at a distribution station in the city, and the other is sixteen years old and is an apprentice in a factory.

"Come on, let's go inside and talk!"

Ruan Zhao followed Wang Shufang into the inner room. The layout of Wang Shufang's house was the same as hers, and it was obvious that they were a group of houses built together.

After entering the house, Ruan Zhao spoke directly without beating around the bush.

"Sister-in-law, I came here because I want to ask you something."

"What's the matter? Just ask. As long as sister-in-law knows, I will definitely tell you!"

"Look, Captain Qin is inviting his comrades to dinner tonight. I'd like to ask you who he's close to and what his family members are like so I can get a better idea of ​​what to say to them when the time comes!"

Wang Shufang immediately opened up and said, "You've asked the right person. Apart from anything else, there's not a single person in this compound that I don't know well."

Ruan Zhao also became interested. "Really? Then sister-in-law, tell me about it in detail. I love to hear this."

After Ruan Zhao said this, Wang Shufang spoke even more excitedly.

"Although your Captain Qin has a somewhat cold personality, he's very popular in the army. He's very capable, and those with lower ranks admire him, and the higher-ups also value him.

However, the people he usually hangs out with the most are Yu Zhenghai, the political commissar of his regiment, and Meng Jianping, the commander of the Third Regiment. The three of them have been together since they were soldiers, and have known each other for over a decade.

"Yu Zhenghai's family lives in the second house in the alley in the middle of the family compound. His wife works in a tailor shop. They have two sons and two daughters..."

"Then there's Meng Jianping!"

Having said this, Wang Shufang's expression suddenly became serious.

"Speaking of Meng Jianping, he's quite a celebrity in our family compound!

His mother and his wife were always fighting, and the whole family compound knew that their relationship was bad!

Ruan Zhao asked curiously, "Then Captain Meng, won't you try to mediate?"

"Oh my! How can this be adjusted? Meng Jianping's father passed away early, and his mother, a widow, raised him. Now that he has finally made it, he has brought his mother to live with him. He can't wait to be filial to her. How dare I say a harsh word!"

"And Meng Jianping's current wife is his second marriage. His first wife died of heavy bleeding during the birth of his second child.

Now this daughter-in-law is from the city and is spoiled by nature. When she and his mother, an old lady from the countryside, are paired together, they can't get along at all. It would be strange if they didn't quarrel! "

Ruan Zhao didn't understand the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. She just wanted to know what kind of people they were.

"Then sister-in-law, who do you think is easier to get along with, his mother or his wife?"

When mentioning this, Wang Shufang hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Meng Jianping's wife has a hot temper and gets irritated easily. People say she has a bad personality and a bad temper, and she has no tolerance for the old lady at all.

But I think Meng Jianping’s mother is not a good person either.

The old lady favors boys over girls. Meng Jianping's previous daughter-in-law gave birth to a daughter as her first child, and was often tortured by the old lady. I heard that when she gave birth to her second child, she had a difficult delivery because she was tortured so badly by the old lady and her body was injured!

But this old lady always smiles at everyone she meets and speaks slowly, so her reputation is actually better than his daughter-in-law's!"

Ruan Zhao understood that this old lady must have some green tea characteristics.

"Then Captain Meng's wife was tortured. Doesn't Captain Meng know about this?"

"His first wife had been living with his mother in his hometown. After that wife died, he brought my mother here."

Ruan Zhao frowned, then thought of something. "Since his first wife never came here, how do you know all this, sister-in-law?"

Mentioning this, a trace of sadness flashed in Wang Shufang's eyes, "What a coincidence, his first wife is called Wang Cuihong, and her family is from the same village as mine.

Wang Cuihong is not much younger than me. She has been an honest person since childhood. I didn’t expect that she would have such a hard life.

Less than two years after her death, Meng Jianping married his current wife and had two sons. I'm afraid he has completely forgotten her. Alas!

Ruan Zhao felt a little depressed after hearing this, but fortunately Wang Shufang changed the subject.

Wang Shufang talked for two hours, and in the end she wanted to tell Ruan Zhao about the ancestors of all the people in the family compound.

It was only when Ruan Zhao interrupted her because he saw that it was getting late that she stopped.

"Sister-in-law, I have to go to the market to buy some vegetables. If you have nothing to do in the afternoon, come to my house and give me some guidance."

"It's okay for my sister-in-law to be at home. If you need anything at home, I'll go buy it with you."

Wang Shufang was so enthusiastic that Ruan Zhao couldn't refuse, so he had to go to the vegetable market with Wang Shufang.
