Mrs. Wang is a talkative person and she can't stop talking. Shen Shuyu listens quietly beside her and agrees with her from time to time.
At noon, at Shen Shuyu's enthusiastic invitation, Mrs. Wang always had lunch at Shen Shuyu's house.
Shen Shuyu didn’t finish the buns that Shen Chunling made for her niece. In addition to the buns, Shen Shuyu also cooked two dishes.
"Everyone wants to live the life you have. You and Deputy Captain Gu are both capable, and your parents-in-law don't require you to worry too much.
Unlike me, my husband's allowance has to support several families, with elderly parents and young children. He has to spend every penny of the allowance, so he can't save a penny."
"Several families?"
"Of course not. My husband has two brothers and a sister. They haven't separated. He sends half of his money back every month, saying that he wants to be filial to the old couple. If he really wants to be filial to the old couple, I won't say anything.
But my parents-in-law gave all the allowance they sent back to their son and daughter.
My second son's family, my third son's family, and my daughter's family. My sister-in-law was all married. Knowing that her eldest brother could make money in the army, she brought her husband and children back to her parents' home to live, and they stayed there for several years.
My two uncles knew that their brother would send back an allowance, so they didn't go to work and stayed at home every day, lacking everything. So they wrote to me saying that they were having a hard time in the countryside.
He has no clothes to wear the sister-in-law and military coat my husband sent him, so he sent them all back to his hometown."
Shen Shuyu finally understood why Captain Zhu's clothes and shoes were so worn out. It turned out that he had sent them all back to his hometown.
Having such a husband-in-law is really a headache. Shen Shuyu doesn't want to talk about other people's family affairs, so she listens to what Mrs. Wang tells her.
As if she knew what Shen Shuyu was thinking, Wang Saozi sighed, "I have also thought about not sending so much money back. My mother-in-law is a fierce and unreasonable person.
If we hadn't sent so much money back, she would have brought her whole family to the army to make trouble, saying that my husband was unfilial and telling everyone about my faults.
They came to the army to cause trouble two years ago, and my husband almost had to go home.
It’s also because I’m not tough enough, and I’ve always been manipulated by them…”
"What's Captain Zhu's attitude?"
"What kind of attitude can he have? They are his parents, his brothers, and his sister. He can only accept it and ask me not to make a fuss about it."
But how could she not care? All her husband's family members were sucking blood from her husband. They didn't feel sorry for him, but she felt sorry for him. But there was nothing she could do. He wasn't tough at all. What was the use of her being tough as a daughter-in-law? She was neither a human being nor a human being.
"Now I won't say a word about sending money back. I'll just let him send it back when the allowance is paid. If there's not enough food at home, he can figure it out himself. If there's not enough money, he can figure it out himself. I'll just cook at home and don't take care of anything else.
Oh, have I talked too much? I've been holding these things in my heart and haven't said them to you. Now that I've said them, I feel much better. "
Shen Shuyu acted as a qualified confidant and did not express her own opinions. Everyone handles things differently and gets different results.
Even though Mrs. Wang seems to be in a bad mood now, she actually feels aggrieved.
Having such a husband's family is aggrieved for anyone. The allowance earned by one's husband with great efforts has to be raised by brothers and sisters.
They come and make trouble if their demands are not met. Divorce is not popular nowadays. If it were in the 21st century, the daughter-in-law would have left with the children long ago.
Mrs. Wang told her some gossip about the family compound. Even though it was a family compound, there was quite a lot of gossip.
For example, the wife of the commander of the third battalion is very powerful. If he looks at other women on the road, his face will be scratched by his wife when he gets home. For example, the commander of the fourth regiment has a daughter who has just joined the army. She is always thinking about finding a man of high rank to be her husband.
Speaking of the sister of the commander of the Fourth Regiment, Wang Saozi said with a bit of disdain, "She only wants to find someone with a higher rank, without considering her own qualifications. Her brother introduced many comrades to her, but she looked down on them all, either because they were not good-looking or because their rank was not high enough.
