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

Chapter 224 Asking for help
Sister Zheng came with a basket and took out the fried soybeans she had made at home.

In addition to drying bedding and lighting lanterns on this day, every household will fry soybeans for eating.

Because Tang's mother was pregnant, the family didn't make much of this stuff, but she prepared a lot of rice candies to share with the neighbors who came to visit.

Sister Zheng came to see Tang's mother for help.

Tang Qiyue was standing by, pinching some fried soybeans and putting them into her mouth, listening to Sister Zheng asking Tang's mother for advice on how to handle interpersonal relationships.

Sister Zheng is good at comforting family members in the backyard, but that is only limited to the wives of military officers.

Due to this identity, conflicts between military wives will not lead to serious consequences, so they are naturally easier to handle. However, this time there were so many people on the island, and there were frictions with the indigenous people.

The fishing village has some unique beliefs and customs. There are outsiders from all over the world, and the customs in each place are different, so naturally various conflicts will arise.

Tang Qiyue listened from the side and learned a lot.

She didn't feel that these things were not worth worrying about. Interpersonal communication is something that people need to face.

Sister Zheng's problem was solved, and she said to Tang Qiyue, "Xiao Tang, you are so lucky to have such a great mother!"

Tang Qiuyue handed her a piece of rice candy.

This candy is made from maltose that she made herself, and it is absolutely authentic.

Moreover, a lot of peanuts, walnuts and melon seeds are added to the rice candy, which is definitely an irresistible snack on the island.

Sister Zheng ate a piece and felt the delicious taste lingering in her mouth. Suddenly, she slapped her thigh.

"I remembered something. Xiao Tang, do you still remember Sister Zhao?"

When mentioning Sister Zhao, Tang Qiyue realized that she hadn't seen her for a while.

They all lived in the same housing complex, so they should have seen each other every day. However, they had not run into each other during this period of time.

"What happened to Sister Zhao?"

Sister Zheng did not keep the secret in front of Tang's mother and Tang Qiyue, "Sister Zhao's mother-in-law is here, and she brought a girl with her!"

Tang Qiyue immediately had a guess in her mind, and Sister Zheng confirmed this guess: "That girl is very capable. She has only been here for a few days, but she has made Sister Zhao cry several times. She almost miscarried the baby in her belly!"

This time Tang Qiyue was really shocked. She didn't expect that Sister Zhao was pregnant.

You have to know that Sister Zhao is already middle-aged, and she has already given birth to several children. She had such a big fuss before, so she shouldn't be so desperate as to have another child.

"To fight for my son?"

Apart from this reason, Tang Qiyue really couldn't think of any other reason.

"That shouldn't be the case. She didn't even know she was pregnant when she had her period. It was only after Doctor Qin examined her that he discovered she was pregnant!"

Speaking of gossip, Sister Zheng is also quite obsessed with it. She must have been asked to deal with this matter many times in the past few days, which is why she is so upset.

After listening to her, Tang's mother reminded Sister Zheng: "She must be very paranoid. You'd better bring someone with you every time you go there. Don't go alone. If something happens to her, you may be implicated even if you have good intentions!"

At first, Sister Zheng didn’t understand, but then she understood what Tang’s mother meant and felt a little scared.

This kind of thing involves children, and with Sister Zhao's personality, if something really happens to the child, there's no telling what kind of problems might arise.

"If I hadn't come to talk to you, I wouldn't have known there were so many twists and turns!"

In fact, there is not much difference between Sister Zheng and Tang's mother in age, but due to the status of men, Sister Zheng and Tang Qiyue are considered peers, so it is naturally not appropriate for her to call Tang's mother "sister".

After talking for a while, Tang's mother put some rice candies and two rice lanterns in Sister Zheng's basket, and then let her leave.

Tang Qiyue had no children at home, so she just took a lantern.

"Take two more and send them to Tang Chunlan!"

Tang's mother picked out two more lanterns and handed them to Tang Qiyue. Tang Qiyue knew that Tang's mother still wanted to take care of Tang Chunlan. These days, she also saw Tang Chunlan's life as a stepmother.

When I said that, I felt a little sympathetic towards her.

"You can't even live a good life. You're being a stepmother. I don't know what's going on in your head!"

Tang's mother looked down on Tang Chunlan's behavior, but Tang Chunlan was just a love-brained woman. Tang's mother had no dissatisfaction with her, she just looked down on her.

Since they lived on an island, Tang's mother really couldn't ignore her.

The main reason why Tang's mother was able to divorce Tang's father was due to the contribution of Tang Chunlan's mother. If Tang Chunlan's mother had not persuaded Tang's father, the divorce would not have been so smooth.

Tang Qiuyue carried a lantern and some rice candies and walked towards the institute's staff quarters. Due to the large influx of technicians, housing was very tight and every house was packed.

Tang Chunlan's courtyard is not big, and with so many people there, it's very noisy inside.

She did go to school to be a junior high school teacher as Tang Qiuyue suggested, and brought back some homework books every day to revise.

The two naughty kids in the family treated Tang Chunlan much better because of Tang Qiuyue's candy sponsorship, but they were still naughty.

When they saw Tang Qiyue coming to their door, their eyes lit up.

The children all know how generous Tang Qiyue is.

Tang Qiyue did not disappoint the children. She gave each of them two pieces of candy, and then they followed Tang Chunlan to her room.

The room was simple, with a bed, a table, a chair, and a simple bamboo wardrobe on the wall that was filled with things.

"What are you doing here? To laugh at me?"

Tang Chunlan poured her a glass of water. She could have talked properly, but she didn't.

Tang Qiyue didn't care, but handed her the rice lantern and rice candy that her mother asked her to bring.

Tang Chunlan didn't expect it to be these things. You know, her mother used to take care of these things on the second day of the second lunar month in the past. When she was a child, she only needed to hold a lantern to illuminate her whole body. Now that she is married, not only does she not have a wedding, she also has no dowry.

She wasn't even sure whether her parents knew about her marriage.

Her eyes welled up when she looked at the rice lanterns and rice candies.

Tang Qiuyue gave her time to adjust slowly.

"Thank your mother for me!"

Tang Chunlan adjusted herself quickly. Now she was considered a role model for a teacher and had restrained herself to a certain extent. Naturally, she also understood that Tang's mother didn't need to do these things, but was just feeling sorry for her being alone here.

People cannot be ungrateful.

Tang Qiyue would naturally agree to Tang Chunlan's words.

"Why don't I see your mother-in-law and brother-in-law?"

When Tang Qiyue entered the yard, she only saw two naughty kids roasting bamboo and playing in the yard.

There is no way to buy firecrackers on the island, so people here burn bamboo and listen to the crackling sound.

Kids like it too.

Tang Chunlan sneered: "My mother-in-law can't sit still at home. She has been visiting relatives and friends for a long time. As for your brother-in-law, he has gone to the research institute. He is too busy to come back every day!"

Tang Qiyue: ...

You can tell she's full of resentment.

"You can write letters home, but they must not violate any rules, otherwise they will not pass the review!"
