"Haven’t been back for such a long ti, really missed you all. Sigh, it was going so well here, yet I went to another city."
"Marrying a soldier is always like this. Wherever they are, that’s where we are."
"Yeah, Ning Jiang had an opportunity to transfer this year, but he turned it down, mainly thinking about over here.
After all, I just set up a new business here. If there really was a transfer, it would be quite difficult to manage."
"By the way, Xiao Lan, how’s your brother and sister-in-law doing?" Yin Peibai asked with a smile.
"Hmph, how else could they be, ever since coming here, they watch everything closely. I don’t like dealing with the two of them."
"Ning Jiang’s brother and sister-in-law ca?" Lin Wan had heard Shi Lan talk about Ning Jiang’s brother before.
She had heard her talk about her sister-in-law’s matters.
"It’s very annoying on my end too. My mother-in-law said she and my father-in-law are here helping us take care of the kids. Now she runs such a big factory. Instead of hiring outsiders, she thought it would be better to let her own people work. So she brought his brother and wife over," Shi Lan sighed. "Living together with such a big family bound to cause friction. My sister-in-law is tight-fisted, probably feeling unbalanced seeing our family being successful, she speaks cynically every day. This whole ti she’s constantly whining about being poor to my mother-in-law, wanting a share, hoping to take half of the workshop."
"Giving them a higher salary for the sake of family sentint, but she’s really gone too far," so people don’t know when to be satisfied, no matter how much they’re given. "Did your mother-in-law agree?"
"Even if she agreed, it wouldn’t make a difference; I won’t agree anyway."
"Every family has its challenges. Alright, let’s not talk about the unpleasant stuff. Today, since Xiao Wan rarely cos back, let’s enjoy a happy al first." Yin Peibai had quite a distaste for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationships.
Because her own mother-in-law wasn’t any good.
"Right, let’s eat quickly. Sister-in-law Zhang has been preparing the dishes for a long ti, let’s not waste them."
"Xiao Wan, how long do you plan to stay this ti?" Su Ling asked.
"We’ll see. I thought of leaving after the factory is set up anyway, as Xingxing is on sumr vacation now. It’d be best if I stay until all the houses are rented out."
"That sounds good."
During the al, a few people talked about the events they’ve encountered recently, mostly joyful things.
For instance, Shi Lan’s business has now expanded to neighboring cities. Their clothing factory is in high demand across several cities now.
Yin Peibai is now a group leader at her unit; there’s a high chance of promotion in the future.
They also moved to a two-bedroom apartnt allocated by Zhang Hanfu’s workplace, which even has heating in the winter. Now that their two children are over two years old, they’ll be able to go to school in six months. The tough tis are considered over.
While they were halfway through the al, Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Liu entered.
"I saw you when you ca in, but I was too busy to talk to you back then," Sister-in-law Zhang smiled at Lin Wan, then looked at Little Star, who had grown so tall, with two cute pigtails, looking very adorable.
"Little Star hasn’t been seen for two years, she’s grown a lot!"
"Indeed, she’ll be attending kindergarten soon, and Pidan is on vacation too, right?"
"Yes, he is. His dad took him to the base for military training with the other kids in the compound."
"Training at such a young age?"
"Yes, as mothers, we feel bad, but the n say boys should start training young. We couldn’t stop them," Sister-in-law Liu and Sister-in-law Zhang sat down and shared so stories about the base, laughing.
"By the way, Xiao Wan, that boy Yang Wei also got transferred to Z City last month," said Sister-in-law Liu.
"Last month? I wasn’t aware of this."
"He probably just got there and hasn’t had ti to contact you."
"Speaking of, it was a coincidence this ti. Originally, Ning Jiang was supposed to transfer, but Ning Jiang couldn’t bear to leave us, not sure how it ended up with Yang Wei," said Sister-in-law Zhang.
"Yang Wei applied for it himself. Ah, you both weren’t in the unit, you wouldn’t know. Now, that Sun Yu keeps coming to the Aston unit, looking for Yang Wei. He probably got fed up with being blocked by Sun Yu, which is why he applied to transfer," Sister-in-law Zhang said as she ate and shared so gossip with them.
"What’s the situation? Weren’t they divorced?" Su Ling knew a bit about this Sun Yu. She had heard Lin Wan talk about her.
"Yes, they’re divorced. Right after the divorce, she married a leader from her school. It didn’t go well in the end, and they divorced within a year. Since the divorce, she couldn’t stay at that school anymore, and eventually got reassigned by the education bureau to teach fourth-grade language at our military district’s elentary school."
