Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 797 - 729: Arrogance
"Haven’t been back for such a long time, 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 me 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 came?" 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 time 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 sentiment, but she’s really gone too far," some 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 comes back, let’s enjoy a happy meal 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 time, let’s not waste them."
"Xiao Wan, how long do you plan to stay this time?" Su Ling asked.
"We’ll see. I thought of leaving after the factory is set up anyway, as Xingxing is on summer vacation now. It’d be best if I stay until all the houses are rented out."
"That sounds good."
During the meal, 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 apartment 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 times are considered over.
While they were halfway through the meal, Sister-in-law Zhang and Sister-in-law Liu entered.
"I saw you when you came 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 men say boys should start training young. We couldn’t stop them," Sister-in-law Liu and Sister-in-law Zhang sat down and shared some 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. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
"Last month? I wasn’t aware of this."
"He probably just got there and hasn’t had time to contact you."
"Speaking of, it was a coincidence this time. 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 some 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 elementary school."
