Sixty years old with the army, the heirless boss loves his fertile wife

Chapter 212 Outbreak
"Hey, it's Comrade Xiao Tang coming over!"

The person Tang Qiuyue spoke to was an auntie, who knew Tang Qiuyue and was also Shanhu's next-door neighbor.

"It's because Shanhu is looking for a son-in-law!"

The aunt put her hands in her sleeves, looked around, and took Tang Qiyue to her home.

It's too cold outside.

Tang Qiyue did not refuse. She knew most of the women in the fishing village and was not a pretentious person, so she naturally followed her aunt into the house.

This aunt's family was well off, at least she made a bowl of sugar water for Tang Qiyue.

Tang Qiyue did not refuse. She was indeed cold and needed to hold the bowl to warm her hands.

"Hasn't Shanhu already announced that she's looking for a son-in-law? Why is there a fuss now?"

Seeing her aunt busy, Tang Qiyue asked her to sit down and chat. Don’t be busy, she didn’t care about that.

It is now the twelfth lunar month, and every household has stopped going out to sea and is staying at home to winter. Only women will go out to pick up some seafood when the tide goes out.

But even so, people don’t really like to eat it.

People living by the sea don’t have such a strong obsession with seafood.

"Oh, isn't it because Shanhu is the only child in her family? She has a brother and a sister-in-law!"

According to most people's thinking, since there are male children in the family, there is no need for the daughter to find a son-in-law to marry into the family. After all, finding a son-in-law requires serious preparation of the betrothal gifts.

Coral is a dive girl, and she is very capable. She has caught a lot of good things.

But these things were tacitly accepted by Coral's brother and sister-in-law as belonging to their entire family. When Coral got married at this time, they did not want to give out too much betrothal gifts and instead thought of just giving Coral a house to get married.

To put it bluntly, she is reluctant to give up Coral's identity as a female diver, but she also doesn't want to pay for it.

Just when Shanhu's parents were discussing the betrothal gift with the whole family, her brother and sister-in-law exploded, which led to what happened today.

Tang Qiyue listened and sighed.

I originally thought that Coral was very much loved at home, at least not disliked, but I didn't expect that such a thing would happen.

The aunt sighed: "It is said that being a woman has a hard life. Shanhu could have married a good family, but she ended up with such a family!"

Before, they all thought that Coral was very blessed, that she was a female diver who could get good things, that she looked good, and that she was loved by her parents. But when she really encountered problems, they realized that it was not the case at all.

"It is said that sons have extramarital affairs after they get married. I didn't believe this before, but after seeing Shanhu's brother, I feel that this is true!"

My aunt's family also has several boys, but they are not married yet. She originally wanted to devote all her attention to her sons' marriages and divide the family home among her sons. But now she is hesitant.

"Aunt, don't think like that. People are different. Not everyone in the world gets married and only cares about themselves!"

Tang Qiyue herself didn't quite believe it.

Ever since humans had the concept of family, caring for one's family has become an instinct.

"I can understand this kind of thing. After I get married, I still hope that my husband will only take care of our family. I just feel sorry for Shanhu, that girl. She must be very sad!"

He was openly plotted against by his own brother and sister-in-law.

Tang Qiyue had no better solution.

This is someone else's family affair, and it's not easy for her as an outsider to get involved. Besides, even if she gets involved, she doesn't know what to do.

You can't provide a house for Coral, right?

There are so many people in the fishing village. Does everyone need her to provide a house? It all depends on what Shanhu does. While Tang Qiyue was chatting with her aunt, the noise next door was getting louder and louder.

"Let's go and take a look, don't really start a fight!"

My aunt was a restless person. When she heard something was wrong coming from Shanhu's house, she called Tang Qiyue to go and check it out.

Tang Qiyue of course cooperated. The two of them arrived at Shanhu's house, where some people had already gone in.

"Oh my, now that you have a wife, you don't need me anymore!"

Shanhu's mother was pushed by her daughter-in-law and staggered. She sat on the ground and cried, wiping her tears.

Shanhu helped her mother up and said, "Mom, don't worry about it. At worst, I won't look for a son-in-law. I'll just get married!"

She was also upset. Because of a betrothal gift, her brother and sister-in-law turned against each other and even wanted to drive her out.

Even if she was driven out, she was still required to give half of what she had gained as a diver to her family.

This behavior makes the corals sick.

She felt that her brother was no longer the brother who loved her as before. Although her parents also loved her, they did not refute this.

To put it bluntly, she finally realized her value at home. No wonder her whole family wanted her to marry the poorest man, because he would ask for the least dowry and could continue to be worked like a workhorse by the family.

"That won't do. You are my daughter, how can you marry someone else? Otherwise Shanhu, you should agree with your brother and sister-in-law and not give such a large betrothal gift. After all, she will live the same life in our family, right?"

Coral lady held Coral's hand with a pleading look on her face.

Coral couldn't maintain the expression on her face, she just stared blankly at her biological mother.

She thought her parents were making trouble for her brother and sister-in-law because they really wanted to support her, but the result was this.

Coral smiled, she let go of her mother's hand and glanced at the sarcastic expression on her sister-in-law's face.

There's nothing else I don't understand.

This is what the whole family is doing to show her, just waiting for her to compromise.

But Shanhu has never been a soft persimmon, nor is she someone who would compromise easily, otherwise she would not have agreed to her parents finding a son-in-law to support the family.

She fixed her hair and said, "This is a new society now. No matter what you plan to do, I, Shanhu, will make this clear. I will take care of my marriage myself. Don't try to make any plans for me!"

Shanhu’s mother was about to grab Shanhu’s arm, but she heard Shanhu’s cold voice remind her: “Mother, I have been a diver since I was young. I went into the sea when I was seven years old. I have escaped death so many times. You should feel sorry for me. After all, I have contributed so much to this family. I paid for the betrothal gift for my sister-in-law, right?”

Lady Coral remained silent.

"I paid for the renovation of the house, and I earned the medical expenses for you two elders. I earned it with my life. Now that I'm old, you're afraid that I'll get married and stop contributing to the family, so you want to find a man to tie me down at home and work for you!"

"Why? Haven't I paid enough?"

"Big brother is your child, am I not also your child?"

"Now that I'm finally planning to get married, you guys are making a fuss over such a small betrothal gift. You're sucking my blood while wanting me to live a miserable life!"

"Mom, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

Coral did not shout at the top of her lungs, but simply asked these questions in the most indifferent tone.

Shanhu's lips trembled a few times, "No, Shanhu, you misunderstood me!"

Shanhu smiled bitterly: "I misunderstood? What did I misunderstand? Mom, I'm not a fool. If you hadn't done this today, I might have turned a blind eye, but now I'm not happy!"

"I'm married, and you guys just want to suck my blood dry. Next time I go to the sea, I'll go to the Sea Goddess!"
