Time Travel: The Vicious Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

The women all sat on the kang, and Old Man Shen, Uncle Shen and others moved small stools and sat below. They didn't say much, just listened to Old Lady Shen and others chatting.

They were all curious about life in the army, and Shen Shuyu told them one by one, "Gu Jiandong and I live in a three-bedroom, one-living-room bungalow. The house is quite spacious, and there is a yard. The yard is not as big as ours, only about half this size. I grow some vegetables, and most of them are taken care of by Gu Jiandong. The vegetables are growing very well.

The army has a school for children of their own. Children don’t have to walk far to go to school, they can just run a few steps.

There is also a bathhouse. If I want to take a bath, I go to the bathhouse. If I don’t like to cook, I can go to the canteen to get food.

There are also supply and marketing cooperatives, and you can basically buy what you want there. If there is no supply and marketing cooperative, it doesn’t matter, you have a bicycle anyway, so you can just go out for a ride. If you don’t want to ride a bicycle, you can also take a ride with the army, but it is not always available, only once a day, so you have to wait.

Are the people in the family compound easy to get along with? They are all quite easy to get along with. I am a teacher for the children, and they all like me very much. If they have something delicious at home, they will occasionally bring some to me..."

Last time when Shen Jiaguo got married, Shen Shuyu sent back a lot of things, including three pairs of Liberation Shoes. Old Mrs. Shen and her eldest granddaughter said,

"My dear, you don't have to keep sending things back from the army. Look at you guys, you sent three pairs of Liberation Shoes at a time. If you send all the shoes back to them, what will Jiandong wear?"

The grandchildren were very happy when the shoes were sent back. Liberation shoes are durable and everyone wants a pair of them. It would have been fine if Jiandong had only sent one pair of shoes, but this child sent three pairs at once. Grandma Shen was worried that he would have no shoes to wear.

"Grandma, the army distributes shoes every year, and Liberation shoes are durable. A pair can be worn for several years. How can Jiandong wear so many?"

"You are all filial children."

The two children are filial, what else can Grandma Shen say? She can only praise her granddaughter.

There are two brothers in the eldest house. They take turns wearing a pair of Liberation Shoes, one for a week. This week, Shen Jiawei wore them. Now he is showing off, "Thank you, big sister and Jiandong, the shoes you sent back are so comfortable to wear."

Zhang Cuicui felt a little disgusted with her son. "What's the point of giving you such nice shoes? You can't even find a partner. Look at your brother and your younger brother, they both have wives and children, and you're all alone. Don't you feel bad?"

Now Shen Jiawei is the only unmarried person in the family. Zhang Cuicui scolds her youngest son from time to time. He is really old. He is one year older during this Chinese New Year. Zhang Cuicui is really worried.

Even Old Lady Shen would occasionally nag him to hold on tighter.

No, weren’t we just talking about Liberation Shoes? How did it bring up the fact that he’s not married?

Shen Jiawei scratched his head and said, "Mom, getting married is not like having a meal. You should get married when the time comes. Marriage is such a big thing, shouldn't I think about it carefully?"

"What are you thinking about? If you don't get married now, when you really become an old man, no one will want you even if you give yourself to someone else."

Shen Jiawei: “…”

Shen Jiawei looked at his eldest sister with a pleading look. Shen Shuyu received her second brother's gaze and suppressed a smile, changing the subject, "Aunt, your sweater is really nice. It makes you look several years younger."

"Really?"

"Of course, this color suits you very well."

Zhang Cuicui touched the sweater on her body and smiled until her eyes narrowed. "This sweater was knitted for me by your uncle who bought wool and asked your sister-in-law. I said I had clothes to wear, but he insisted on buying me this expensive wool. Tell me, I'm a grandmother now, why do I need to wear such good clothes?"

Zhang Cuicui kept saying that Uncle Shen was wasting money, but she couldn't stop smiling. Who doesn't like her husband to buy things for her, especially the wool she always coveted?

Uncle Shen: "..." If he doesn't buy it, this woman will nag him every day. How can he not buy it?
