Good Man Operation Guide

Chapter 15.3



Miao Xing was reading a book at home because she was going to take an examination from another hospital. However, even if she thought it was quite good, her heart could not settle down so she couldn’t read a word.

At first, she didn’t worry at all after being expelled. Zhang Yanming is a Deputy Commander anyway. His salary is more than enough for two people to live. Moreover, in his position, he; more or less, had some contacts, which can definitely help her find a job again.

That was what Miao Xing thought before she moved into the courtyard.

When she moved to the courtyard, she found that Zhang Yanming’s salary was higher than that of ordinary soldiers, but he spent more, ate, drank, dressed and used the best, so his monthly income was just enough for him to live alone. Not to mention after he was demoted, the salary dropped sharply. Zhang Yanming couldn’t change his extravagant spending habits. The two spent a hard time living together, they were very short of money, and finally, Miao Xing took some money from her savings to get through.

Not to mention the contacts she hoped for, Zhang Yanming has always acted on his high horse. People use to accommodate him because of the Zhang family’s face. Now that the Zhang family abandoned him; because he had offended too many people before, it was good enough that no body decided to ambush him. How can they be willing to help him arrange something for her?

Moreover, Zhang Yanming doesn’t let Miao Xing work. According to him, Miao Xing only needs to stay at home in peace, wash clothes and cook for him, settle down in the household, have three or four children, and then be responsible in bringing up the children.

Of course, his original words were: ‘you don’t have to work, I will provide for you’.

If he can afford it, Miao Xing doesn’t mind letting him, but the problem is that Zhang Yanming can’t afford to provide for her at all.

Zhang Yanming didn’t tell Miao Xing about his falling out with his family, because he thought that as a good husband; he shouldn’t say things that would upset his wife.

Naturally, he did not tell Miao Xing the fact, that he used to be the youngest son of the Zhang family either.

Used to be.

In Miao Xing’s eyes, the man who once made her heart beat in a daze and couldn’t help but fall for him; became a waste with little ability, and still had the face to prevent her from working.

Or, a good-for-nothing that could spend money.

The love that still blooms in Zhang Yan’s heart, had been wiped out by the trifles of daily life and shriveled wallet, in Miao Xing’s.

She was most relaxed, when Zhang Yanming was sent out to do dangerous tasks.

Because only at this time, the man who once made her bored with being stuck in his arms all the time would not ask her to stick by his side like a child.

If he is still the Zhang Yanming, who used to be domineering, mysterious and always able to buy expensive gifts that suits her heart, Miao Xing would be willing get bored with him.

But when she started to live in this courtyard, Miao Xing found that Zhang Ying was only bullish.

She was disgusted, but she couldn’t leave.

Everyone knows that Zhang Yanming was demoted for her sake, and she also put too much energy into this man. She can’t leave empty handed.

Moreover, even if her appearance is the same as before, it is difficult to find a man she liked.

With all these troubles in mind, how can Miao Ying calm down? Especially in the courtyard, where there is always a story about how Lin Shiheng dotes on his wife.

That should have been her.

If it wasn’t for Zhang Yanming kissing her in front of Lin Shiheng, Lin Shiheng would definitely divorce He Xuezhu and choose to be with her.

Miao Xing regrets it countless of times in the bottom of her heart. If she is given another chance to choose, she will not be greedy for the excitement and happiness brought by Zhang Yanming. Her work, Lin Shiheng’s love, and the envy of others. All of these would have been hers.

“Are you sure?”

After listening to Zhou Qianqian telling her everything, Miao Xing stood up from her chair, there was joy in her eyes. “Does Shiheng’s mother really dislike He Xuezhu?”

“Really! I have found out clearly, and she also favors boys over girls. If He Xuezhu gives birth to a girl, she will definitely be rejected.”

Zhou Qianqian didn’t find anything wrong with her friend’s expression. She was busy in her own imagination and smiling. “Sister Miao Xing, the person from the same village as Commander Lin also said that Commander Lin was very filial. He grew up with his mother and must listen to her.”

She knew this very well herself. Even if her husband, whom she worked hard to serve, was pleasant, she would still have to stand aside in front of her mother-in-law.

In Zhou Qianqian’s view, all men in the world are like this.

Miao Xing’s eyes twinkled, “Okay, I know. Thank you, Qian Qian, it’s so late, you should go first.”

“Er… then I’ll go first. When He Xuezhu gave birth to the baby girl, let’s see a joke together.”

Zhou Qianqian automatically and spontaneously ruled out He Xuezhu’s option of giving birth to a boy. The discomfort of pregnancy and her husband’s indifference made her urgently need to comfort herself through other people’s misery.

In the house, Miao Xing seemed to see a new hope. After she was disappointed with Zhang Yanming, she always thought of Lin Shiheng. It was only because he distanced himself from her and dote on his wife all the time that she didn’t get to humiliate herself again.

But if Lin Shiheng’s mother doesn’t like her daughter-in-law, won’t her relationship with her husband have a gap?

Miao Xing’s focus fell on her abdomen. Since Zhang Yanming was demoted, she has been taking birth control pills, so she hasn’t been pregnant.

If He Xuezhu gives birth to a daughter, and she ‘accidentally’ conceives Lin Shiheng’s child…

Her eyes brightened a little bit.

Li Chunhua is very warm to these women who; according to her son, have taken care of her daughter-in-law. Although the little girl in front of her looks strange, she doesn’t take it to heart, she just keeps holding on to her hand and starts talking.

“I wanted to come with them before. After all, Shiheng is busy. Xuezhu is pregnant for the first time and has no experience. It’s because someone needed to watch the building of the new house at home. In addition, I have to rent a house to live here. Originally, I said that Xuezhu should stay in our hometown, but I was afraid that she would get sick when we were building the house with all the dust and sand moving back and forth. Finally, Shiheng said that there was nothing lacking in the army and the hospital here, so I was relieved.”

“In recent months, when I was at home, I couldn’t eat or sleep well. I was afraid that Shiheng couldn’t take good care of Xuezhu. So, as soon as the house was finished, I came here in a hurry.”

Zhou Qianqian’s face was stiff. She looked at the woman in front of her who was full of fondness when she looked at her. She even doubted whether she was dreaming.

She also has a mother-in-law. Before she joined her husband at the army base, she had never seen other people’s mother-in-law get along with a daughter-in-law. In Zhou Qianqian’s impression, as long as someone was a mother-in-law, she would be dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law at least a little.

When her mother was dissatisfied with her sister-in-law, her mother once said that there should always be a bow between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law. Her mother didn’t want to be the one who bowed her head, so she had to subdue the person from the beginning.

Zhou Qianqian did notice her mother-in-law’s faint dissatisfaction with herself after she got married. Instead of thinking about resistance, she chose to bow first, and was careful to please her.

After all, she also knew clearly that between herself and her mother-in-law, her husband would definitely choose his mother.

Therefore, if Lin Shiheng’s mother did not like He Xuezhu, Zhou Qianqian only felt that she had anticipated it and did not doubt it at all.

But she never thought that when Lin Shiheng’s mother got here, she showed more kindness than He Xuezhu’s own mother.

Li Chunhua held her hand and spoke nonstop for a long while but receive no response. When she looked again, she could see Zhou Qianqian’s expression was ugly.

How can this person be as stiff as a log and expect her to follow up on her own words?

She loosened her hand and shook hands with someone else.

This time, Zhang-jie, who is a good friend of He Xuezhu, was shaken by the hand. She sighed with great cooperation: “you are very kind to Xuezhu.”

That’s it!

This is what Li Chunhua was waiting for. She immediately held out her chest and raised her head with pride: “Xuezhu, I liked her before she married into my family. She was good in appearance, figure and temperament, and she worked neatly. As soon as I looked at her, I felt that this was my destined daughter-in-law!”

He Xuezhu was supported by Lin Shiheng and was somewhat confused when she heard her mother-in-law’s words. All she knew at that time was that suddenly one day the mother told herself that the Lins’ had liked her, and the bride price had been fixed, so she only needed to wait for her marriage with ease. She really didn’t know that her mother-in-law had only mentioned it because she liked her.

Seeing that the expression on the old lady’s face in front of her was not fake, she breathed a sigh of relief at the bottom of her heart. Why was He Xuezhu worried? Zhang-jie also smiled: “I feel the same. It’s also a good blessing for Xuezhu to meet such a kind and loving mother-in-law.”

As soon as Li Chunhua heard this, the smile on her face suddenly became even more friendly: “No, this child, Xuezhu had some hardship. Before, when Shiheng was in the army, she should have followed him to the base as a soldier’s wife, but he didn’t trust me, an old lady, being left alone. So, she accompanied me in the village for three years.”

“Three years ago, I was greedy because I liked Xuezhu and wanted her to stay with me some more. But now, I couldn’t always be so selfish, right? I just couldn’t let her and Shiheng stay apart for such a long time.”

He Xuezhu was lamenting that her mother-in-law liked her so much. Hearing Li Chunhua’s remarks, she was deeply moved by her already emotional pregnancy.

Was it because her mother-in-law liked her that she was not allowed to follow Shiheng to the base?

Lin Shiheng timely said: “Mom, you like Xuezhu so much, just stay here. Let’s buy a house here and live with the family in the future.”

“No, that won’t do. Your father’s grave is still in the village. I have to watch over him.” Li Chunhua went back to her son and explained to Zhang-jie, “my husband left early. Our family’s sir, died before he was 30 years old. Unless we move the grave, our family must guard it. Otherwise, I’m are afraid he would haunt me.”

Zhang-jie would naturally say that this was all a feudal superstition. But after listening to this, she also said, “it’s hasn’t been easy for you.”

“It’s okay. It used to be that I only wanted to bring up my child. Later, I didn’t think that the child joined the army as soon as he was old enough. It’s also good to have Xuezhu with me, which gives some comfort to this old woman’s heart.”

Li Chunhua’s words are inseparable from He Xuezhu, the daughter-in-law. After chatting a few more words, she reluctantly let go of Zhang-jie’s hand. “Then I’ll go back first. In these past months, I specially selected some female chicks. I carefully wait on them every day to cultivate a big chicken. Each hen can lay eggs. This chicken soup from a hen that can lay eggs is the most nourishing. It’s not easy to get. I brought them here, waiting to mend Xuezhu’s body. They are all alive. I have to hurry to let them loose so they won’t wilt.”

“Ah, you go then.”

After the meeting, some women were more or less surprised and had some envy in their eyes. Li Chunhua released her hand with satisfaction.

She started to think about all kinds of countermeasures when her son and daughter-in-law left.
