Chapter 376 Disagree
First; Shen Xiaoshan pursed his lips, and after a long while he spoke, "Mom, grandma won't agree to this, and I don't want to go either. You'd better not mention it again."
Mrs. Shen stood on tiptoe and slapped him on the forehead. "You are a hopeless piece of shit. Your Third Uncle is the regiment commander. As long as you join the army, are you afraid that he won't take care of you?"
"If you don't join the army, what will you achieve in your life?"
"I'm telling you, you either join the army or find a job in the city. I don't care. You can't continue to work with me and your father."
"Right now, your father and I are in good health. We don't have many problems and don't spend much money. But when your father and I get old and get sick and need to be hospitalized like your grandmother did a few days ago, and the medical expenses cost hundreds of dollars, what will you do? What will your father and I do?"
"As the only son of your father and me, you can't just ignore us, right? You can't let your sister pay for it, right?"
Once a daughter gets married, she belongs to someone else's family. Even if Qingqing becomes successful in the future and can afford to spend the money, she would feel embarrassed to let her daughter who has married out support them.
If you really do this, your spine will be stabbed to death.
Shen Xiaoshan still didn't nod. He looked at the woman in front of him. She was not even forty years old, but already had white hair.
He paused and said, "Mom, don't worry, even if I don't join the army, I will take good care of you."
"If that day ever comes, I will definitely find some money to save you."
"It's just... I'm really not interested in being a soldier."
Mrs. Shen was even more disappointed. She glared at Shen Xiaoshan several times and said, "Why don't you listen to my advice? You don't feel sorry for your mother at all. Do you think it's been easy for your family to support you all these years?"
"Do you know that among your grandma's sons, your father is the most incompetent?"
"Look at your second uncle and your fourth uncle. One of them is always acting like a jerk, but he's not short of money at all. He can just go out and there are plenty of women willing to give him money."
"And your fourth uncle is lucky. He has a good relationship with your third aunt. Your third aunt has connections. With just a little help, he quickly became an apprentice in the machinery factory. In two years, your fourth uncle will be a regular worker in the city."
"And your third uncle and third aunt are the most powerful people in our family. Both husband and wife have jobs, especially your third uncle, who earns over a hundred yuan a month. Add in your third aunt's salary, and you get what your father and I would earn in the fields in a decade."
Mrs. Shen looked at her own son and became more and more angry. She put her hands on her hips and kept scolding him.
"I thought you were just cold-hearted, but I didn't expect you to be so unfilial. If your father and I really end up in the hospital, how can you, who makes a living by growing crops, treat us?"
Before, her husband hit her and beat her severely. The son actually saw it all, but he never came out to stop him. He just stood in the corner and watched his father beat her silently.
The only one who stood up to protect her was the money-losing guy whom she usually disliked.
It's ridiculous to say that.
But when faced with her two children, she still couldn't help but favor her son and hate her daughter.
Sometimes, she felt that she was too cruel to Qingqing, but her habits and temperament over the years made it impossible for her to change.
Shen Xiaoshan was silent for a moment, "Mom, go find grandma about this matter. If she wants me to go, I will go."
"If grandma doesn't want to, then forget it."
Mrs. Shen was stunned for a moment, "You...are you telling the truth?"
"As long as your grandma agrees, are you really willing to join the army?"
Shen Xiaoshan nodded, "Yeah."
After getting her son's nod, Mrs. Shen finally felt relieved.
It's easy to deal with the old lady. She has always loved her eldest grandson Xiaoshan. Joining the army is a good thing, so the old lady will definitely agree.
So Mrs. Shen immediately ran to the old lady's room, but unexpectedly the old lady had not come back yet.
She thought for a moment and instantly realized that the old lady should be in Xu Manyue's room, taking care of her during her confinement and helping her take care of the baby.
When she ran to Xu Manyue's room, she saw the old lady holding the child and coaxing him softly. She didn't care about anything else and spoke immediately.
"Mom, I'm planning to let Xiaoshan join the army. Jingming happens to be in the army too, so the two of them can still be together. What do you think?"
The old lady's face darkened instantly. "No, Xiaoshan can't go. You'd better give up this idea."
Being a soldier is not that easy.
These people only saw the glory of the third brother, but did not see the scars behind him.
If the family had not had any other choice, she would not have agreed to let the third child join the army.
You can say she is selfish or biased.
In fact, not only the third child in the family could join the army, but the second child could also join the army. The physical fitness of both of them met the requirements of the army.
Fortunately, there was only one vacancy, otherwise, both of her sons would have to join the army, and they might have died at any time.
She had lost her man when she was young, and she really didn't want to see her son die before her.
Now that the family is well off, how could she let her eldest grandson join the army?
Mrs. Shen was very confused and anxious.
"Mom, you...what do you mean by this? Jingming can join the army, but Xiaoshan can't?"
Being a soldier is so great. It is not only glorious, but also very well paid.
How could the old lady be so confused? She was also completely confused about the matter between the fourth son and the daughter of the factory leader.'
It was clearly the fourth son who married someone above his station, so why was the old lady still unhappy?
"Hmph, I said no and it means no. If you want Xiaoshan to join the army, I will have to die." The old lady glared at her eldest daughter-in-law fiercely with an extremely tough attitude.
Xu Manyue was lying on the bed sewing clothes for the child, and she also listened to the conversation between the old lady and her sister-in-law.
The old lady didn't agree with Xiaoshan joining the army, she had guessed it a long time ago.
If she agreed, she would have mentioned it to Shen Jingming when he came back this time, and there would be no need for her sister-in-law to come to her to talk about it.
But to be honest, for ordinary rural children, joining the army is indeed the best way out. Once you make it through, you will never have to worry about your life.
But the dangers that come with it are also high, and Shen Jingming is a good example.
In this family, except for the old lady and her, everyone else probably thinks that Shen Jingming has an easy time in the army and being a soldier is easy.
They only see the surface, but they don’t know that in places they can’t see, Shen Jingming almost died countless times before he reached his current position.
Xu Manyue pursed her lips and lowered her head to continue making clothes for the child. As for those things, the old lady would solve them herself and she would not interfere.
