Who would have thought that mother would come early in the morning, saying she wanted to spend New Year with them.
No matter how unhappy the two of them were, they had to agree. Yang Hongying took the child to the small room.
Nannan was very disappointed, "Mom, I want to go to Grandma’s house to see Uncle."
"Don’t be a trouble. Grandma is here, we can’t leave."
"But Grandma doesn’t like me, I don’t want to talk to her."
Yang Hongying sighed and stroked her daughter’s hair. What could she do? She didn’t like it either, but had to endure it.
Wang Guihua sat on the sofa outside, her face looked as if it was frosted, not to mention how angry she was.
"Why is it that I’m here and your wife is unhappy? Doesn’t even show up?"
"How could that be, isn’t Nannan changing clothes?" Gu Juntao changed the topic; "Mom, what’s going on? Didn’t you say you were going to see Dad? Why did you change your mind and not go?"
"Hmph! Your dad doesn’t deserve me being good to him at all! I’m not going, what’s the big deal!" Wang Guihua said, her voice choked with grievances.
It turns out Wang Guihua had already bought the ticket in the morning, planning to see her husband, thinking that after such a long cold war, her husband didn’t care, she could only find a way down. Who would have thought, before leaving, she called Gu Zishan to tell him she was going over, asking him to pick her up from the station, saying she was going today.
Her husband said, "But we have a celebration today, if you come over, no one can pick you up, come tomorrow instead. Or you could take a cab yourself, and I’ll reimburse the fare."
Wang Guihua was so angry it hurt: "I’m only giving you face, you really think I can’t do without you, and have to shamelessly go find you? You won’t even come to pick me up, why should I go!"
"I didn’t mean that..." Gu Zishan felt perplexed, it was just that way, other army wives can come peacefully, why can’t she handle it?
Wang Guihua, having lived her whole life as the wife of a chief, pampered, couldn’t accept such indifference, simply said, I’m not going! and hung up the phone.
Gu Juntao was stunned, then said, "Isn’t this normal? Mom, you know the discipline of the army, Dad is a leader, how can he not attend an event because of you? What’s wrong with taking a cab over yourself?"
"What did you say?" Wang Guihua shouted angrily, "You and your heartless dad are just the same! Wanting me to be disgraced!"
Gu Juntao rubbed his forehead: "Dad definitely doesn’t mean it that way, I was a soldier too, listen to me..."
"I’m not listening!" She stood up agitated: "If you keep talking like this, I’m leaving! I’ll spend New Year alone in the compound, see how unfilial you are!"
Gu Juntao had no way but sweet-talk to please his mother.
Wang Guihua only calmed down then, but she was at peace, Yang Hongying was distressed. She already didn’t get along with her mother-in-law, plus her daughter’s sensitive nature knowing Grandma didn’t like her, kept her head down, looking dejected, not really talking to Grandma.
Wang Guihua became even more displeased, her face cold, scolding, "Such a young age, so pretentious, not like Lin Daiyu, so delicate, what will you do when you grow up? This kind of temperament, who knows who you learned it from! We’re a military family, becoming like a bourgeois lady, how’s that for education?"
"I don’t care! You call your wife back, or I’ll... I’ll leave home!" Wang Guihua cried.
Gu Juntao felt dizzy, what’s become of his mother.
He coaxed for a long time, still could only ask his father for help, complain when he called him: "Dad, you’re at ease not at home, I’m worn out here, my wife took the child to avoid, I can only coax her, do you think it’s easy for me? Just a few days off for New Year, I can’t even be with my wife? My daughter sees Grandma and wants to cry."
Gu Zishan could only sigh deeply after hearing. Everything was his fault for marrying such a wife.
He could only call over to apologize to his wife, said some pleasant words unprecedentedly, Wang Guihua then calmed down.
Gu Zishan invited her to the grassroots, said he would take leave to meet her at the station. Wang Guihua was satisfied then.
When leaving, she smugly said, "Your dad finally knows right from wrong. Well, since he apologized, I can’t not give face, right? I’m going, you have a good New Year with your wife."
"Sigh, mom, have a good New Year." Gu Juntao sent his mother off, finally relieved.
On Yang Hongying’s side at Yan Family, the atmosphere was quite good, Mr. Yan holding Nannan giving her candies, several women busy cooking in the kitchen. This year is Qian Xiaoshuang’s first time spending New Year at her in-laws, a bit awkward. Luckily, Yan Kai’s family members are understanding, atmosphere nice, won’t mind her inadequate cooking.
Qian Xiaoshuang now very much in love with her husband, and Yan Kai exchanged sweet glances now and then, although silent, their affection was palpable, others found it so sweet.
Yang Hongying thought, Qian Xiaoshuang is truly enviable. How well her in-laws treat her? My mother-in-law is just a monster. But thinking about her husband’s kindness, could only endure it.
