Chapter 433 Collective Embarrassment

"I'll apply for it, and I'll also help you apply for a subsidy for your salary."

Gu Yanli immediately waved his hand, "There's no problem with the salary. My wife can earn money, so we'll use her salary to pay."

political commissar"……"

He patted Gu Yanli on the shoulder again, as if he wanted to say something, but then remained silent.

The people here still have to rely on their wives to support them. If word gets out... well, it's shameful, a collective disgrace.

So I'd better not say anything.

After achieving his goal, Gu Yanli went back that same day and told Wen Tang the good news.

Wen Tang was delighted to hear this, "Really?"

"Well, the political commissar said he'll apply for it, and it should be possible, given the special circumstances."

Wen Tang immediately picked up the chicken leg from her bowl and gave it to Gu Yanli, saying, "Here, have the chicken leg. You've worked hard."

Gu Yanli put another chicken leg on her plate, saying, "You eat it, I don't like chicken legs."

Zhong Meixian and Gu Juyuan both glanced at him, but the old couple didn't say anything.

The elderly couple not only didn't say anything about it, but they also stopped objecting to hiring two people to come to their home to help take care of their grandson.

Zhong Meixian had objected before, partly because she was afraid of being reported as a capitalist roader, and partly because she was afraid that someone she didn't know might steal the child again.

However, if the person is assigned by the military, they feel at ease, and neither of the above two problems exist.

Although the political commissar submitted the application to the higher authorities, it took half a month for the application to be submitted and for the leaders to discuss and approve it.

Fortunately, the family members who were helping made arrangements very quickly.

When the baby was about five months old, just when he was starting to get fussy, the military arranged for two military wives to move into Wen Tang's home.

The two military wives are from the north; they are simple, hardworking, and strong.

They liked Zhong Meixian and the others from the very first day they arrived.

Because it's so much easier!

Zhong Meixian then told Gu Yanli, "Later, send the leader some eggs or something, to properly thank him."

Gu Yanli nodded, letting it go in one ear and out the other, "Okay, I understand."

With the help of her two sisters-in-law, Wen Tang returned to her normal eating and sleeping routine.

Zhong Meixian and Gu Juyuan were also much more relaxed.

During the day, there's no need to rush to wash diapers, especially now that it's cold. Sometimes we don't have time to wash cotton clothes, so we have to dry them in the oven, which is quite a busy time.

With two more people helping out at home, and the baby only needing one nighttime feeding, Zhong Meixian is in the mood to show off her grandson again.

The main reason was that her two sisters-in-law kept praising the old lady. "Auntie, I've never seen anyone as lucky as you in all my years of life," said Zhang Huahua, one of the military wives.

Another military wife, Wang Chunhua, also said, "That's right, I've never seen anyone so lucky as to have three boys in one pregnancy."

"This is an incredible blessing."

"And all three boys are so handsome, when they get married, matchmakers will be lining up at the door!"

Hearing these words, Meixian's backache and leg pain disappeared.

When Gu Jinfeng came to visit, the old lady said to her, "Alas, I can't go back either. If I could go back, I would definitely show those people in the brigade what my fate is like, and see who dares to laugh at me behind my back again!"

The old woman pouted, "It's my bad luck that I can't have a son, I can't have a grandson..."

"I bother!"

“I’m luckier than all of them. I have fewer sons, but they’re more capable than theirs. Look, they’ve given me three grandsons all at once.”

Gu Jinfeng said, "The New Year is coming soon. When the New Year comes, you can take your three grandsons back to show them to them."

When the topic of going home for the Chinese New Year came up, the old lady said, "Then Yanli won't be able to drive you around, you'll have to take the bus home by yourselves."

"There's not enough room to sit!" the old lady muttered.

Gu Jinfeng couldn't help but say, "I know, I know. Nobody rides in your son's car. Look how heartbroken you are."

Meixian objected, "Why would I feel sorry for you?"

"Think about it, I have three grandsons, three grandsons, plus your father, Xiaotang, and me. Where is there room for everyone to sit?"

"Do you think this is like before I had any grandchildren?"

Zhong Meixian's words seemed reasonable on the surface, but Gu Jinfeng found them grating.

Gu Jinfeng didn't say anything more and led Nanxi back. As soon as they left, she started muttering, "Grandson, grandson, as if no one doesn't have a grandson."

“Isn’t a granddaughter also a grandson?” Gu Jinfeng said, picking up Nan Xi and taking him home.

Then Gu Jinfeng became unhappy and ran back to her parents' home.

For a day or two, no one noticed, but after a while, Wen Tang asked, "Mom, did you quarrel with your eldest sister again?"

Meixian felt deeply wronged this time, saying, "Don't wrong me, I don't have that kind of time, I'm busy every day now."

“Every day I’m either feeding Zhuangzhuang, changing Niuniu’s diapers, and Kangkang is thinner than his two older brothers, so I have to take care of him. I don’t have time to get angry with her!”

Zhuangzhuang, Niuniu, and Kangkang are the nicknames of the three children.

Meixian said that giving a child a humble name would make them easier to raise.

Then they gave him these three nicknames.

Wen Tang even asked, "Why not call him something like 'Dog Leftovers'?"

Mei Xian curled her lip upon hearing this, "She's not that shameless!"

Wen Tang "..."

She, however, thought too little of her son.

Meixian felt she was fine, but Chiyue's information was different: "She's always at home nagging, saying that your mother-in-law only knows how to show off her three grandsons. I don't know what she's showing off. Is it so great that she gave birth to three boys?"

"She can't even say 'Grandma' yet, and she's already showing off. She's such a show-off!" Chi Yue taught her to repeat after her.

Wen Tang covered her face and said, "I knew it! My older sister was perfectly fine, but now she doesn't want to come over to play!"

"Please apologize to my older sister for me, and I'll talk to the old lady later."

Chi Yue waved her hand, "What's there to say?"

"If she favors boys over girls and eats the heart because of her grandmother's words, then she'll have many more opportunities to eat the heart in the future. It's better for her to adapt sooner!"

Wen Tang praised Chi Yue, saying, "As expected of my eldest daughter, she speaks with such eloquence."

Even so, Wen Tang still instructed the old lady, "Mom, be a little more careful when you speak in front of my eldest sister in the future!"

Meixian asked, "Did she complain to you again?"

"So what? Do you think I'd hide my three grandsons?"

Upon hearing this, Wen Tang knew that the old lady was perfectly aware of the situation.

Wen Tang (facepalm and wry smile) "No, are you a stepmother?"

"You treat your own daughter like a precious gem?"

Meixian's expression began to feel uncomfortable. "Well... I can't help it when I see other people," Meixian said, and then she couldn't help but say, "Xiaotang, you don't understand. You gave me three grandsons. I'm so happy and excited. I want to tell everyone I meet about it."

"I couldn't help it, I really couldn't help it."

The old lady also felt wronged. "If you ask me, it's your older sister who's being paranoid. Why didn't she say anything when she had her grandson before me?"

Wen Tang didn't try to cover for her, "When Yueyue was pregnant with her second child, didn't you faint from anger?"

Mei Xian "..."

You really know how to bring up the most sensitive topic!
