Chapter 1,467: Getting Worse

Knowing that this girl is weak and cannot work after getting married and needs to take a good rest, a bunch of people advised Mr. Zhai that marrying anyone would be better than marrying this sick man, who could help him take care of the family.

But Mr. Zhai seemed to be possessed by a demon and insisted on marrying the girl.

For three whole years after the two got married, she was not pregnant. So, some people said that the disease that the girl brought from her mother's womb seemed not only short-lived, but also a hen that couldn't lay eggs.

At this time, World War II broke out, the country was in chaos, and people's lives were particularly difficult.

By the way, Mr. Zhai decided to become a soldier because of an incident at that time. Japan invaded China and did countless bad things. It also adopted the "Three Guangs" policy, which made the Chinese hate it very much. Mr. Zhai's village had a pretty good harvest every year. Of course, it was very easy to be targeted at that time.

When Mr. Zhai heard that Little Japan insulted Chinese women whenever he met them, his eyes lit up. After confirming the news, Little Japan had a small team with guns of only a dozen people, and they were coming to rob his village. Mr. Zhai became murderous and simply organized the villagers to kill this small Japanese team.

After burying little Japan for more than ten years, Mr. Zhai turned the guns and shells collected from the Japanese into his own, and organized a village militia to protect the village.

This incident was later heard by an officer of the Red Army. He tasted a bit like a tiger general from Mr. Zhai, so he wanted to recruit Mr. Zhai as a talent. Mr. Zhai's family has good conditions in the village. When he was a child, he went to a private school in the town and became literate and knowledgeable.

If it wasn't because Mr. Zhai's conditions were so good, he wouldn't have become the boss of the village and be stared at by so many big girls.

Then again, Mr. Zhai is literate, so his knowledge is different from ordinary people. He knows that without a country, there is no home. No matter how capable he is, he works with the people in the village to protect his family, but if China doesn't completely defeat Little Japan and drive Little Japan out of the country, things like today will happen from time to time in the future. Fa'er cuts off the roots.

If he wants to save his little family, the first thing he should do is to save the country as a whole.

So Mr. Zhai made a decision that surprised everyone in the village: he decided to join the army.

Everyone was extremely surprised when they heard this answer. The girl that Mr. Zhai married was not in good health and was very delicate, but he couldn't help but like her. No one in the village knew that Mr. Zhai protected his mother-in-law like an eyeball. I'm afraid that this girl's whole life's luck has been spent on meeting a man as good as Mr. Zhai.

The issue is,

Once Mr. Zhai joins the army, there will be no one to take care of this sick and weak girl. Mr. Zhai is really willing to bear it. He is not afraid that when he leaves, the girl will have a headache and fever without his care. If one person cannot survive, she will die?

Of course Mr. Zhai is not such an unreliable person. He made good arrangements for Grandma Zhai's life before he left. Grandma Zhai was very supportive of Mr. Zhai’s career and told Mr. Zhai that she had lived a good life for eighteen years before marrying him.

It doesn't make sense. She has only been married to him for three years. Once separated from him, she will not be able to handle her life and will starve to death. It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on others. She will definitely take care of herself and wait for Mr. Zhai's return.

After the couple agreed, Mr. Zhai joined the army with only a pair of clothes and two pairs of shoes given to him by his wife. Coincidentally, on the night before leaving, the mother who was known as the most valuable in the village could not lay eggs had a baby in her belly.

Fortunately, the timing was right. Normally, Grandma Zhai didn't like to flirt with others, and she never interacted with men. Mr. Zhai has just joined the army, and the people in the village are willing to take more care of Grandma Zhai. Therefore, the elders and men in the village knew that the baby in Grandma Zhai's belly must be Mr. Zhai's.

Ten months later, the child was born.

Zhai Yaohui's eyebrows widened, so no one in the village doubted who the child's father was. Based on the little faces that Zhai Yaohui and Mr. Zhai carved out of the same mold, no one could believe that they were not father and son.

Grandma Zhai has survived such difficult days. Even without the man by her side, Grandma Zhai still brought Zhai Yaohui into a strong baby. Gradually, the people in the village changed their attitude towards Grandma Zhai. She was a little weak, but she could give birth to children, take care of them, and keep a good home. She was considered a good mother-in-law.

During the days when Mr. Zhai was not around, everyone thought that Grandma Zhai and Zhai Yaohui were living well. Only Zhai Yaohui understood how difficult it was for his mother to raise him and how hard it was. If it hadn't been for him, his mother wouldn't have been in such bad health. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, she didn't enjoy a few years of blessings. She only had time to see her grandson and granddaughter before she left.

Grandma Zhai's premature death can be said to be a wound that cannot be touched in the hearts of Mr. Zhai and Zhai Yaohui.

For so many years, Mr. Zhai has never forgotten Grandma Zhai, but he rarely discusses the past affairs between him and Grandma Zhai so openly in front of the whole family. When I suddenly mentioned it today, no wonder Miao Liang looked frightened.

"Dad, eat more food." Miao Liang didn't have much impression of her mother-in-law. As soon as she got married, her mother-in-law was already sick in bed and could not see her twice throughout the day. Every time I go to take care of my mother-in-law, the smell of medicine in her house is so overwhelming. Of course, it's not that Miao Liang doesn't want to take care of her seriously ill mother-in-law, it's that Mr. Zhai doesn't like to leave things to others, he does it all by himself.

Grandpa Zhai said that when he was young, because of the war, he married Grandma Zhai, and they only had three years to spend together, and not much time after that. Now that their wives have married, the country is peaceful, and he can finally be with Grandma Zhai.

After Zhai Sheng was born and weaned, Grandma Zhai didn't make it, and died in the early spring of the following year.

When Grandpa Zhai was fighting in the war, he had accumulated a lot of hidden injuries. Zhai Yaohui performed well, joined the army early, and made great achievements. In this way, the people above tacitly agreed to Grandpa Zhai's retirement, and gave Zhai Yaohui more opportunities to compensate for Grandpa Zhai's retreat.

When Zhai Yaohui was determined to climb up, Grandpa Zhai had not yet completely recovered from the pain of losing his wife. Miao Jing silently took on everything at home. Not only did she have to take care of the elderly and children, but when she was outside, she was also ridiculed and made things difficult by Qi Minlan. It can be said that the two or three years after Grandma Zhai passed away were also the two or three years that Miao Liang had the hardest time.

It was not until Zhai Yaohui defeated Shi Peng with his own strength, outstanding performance, and eye-catching style, and became the top middle-aged leader in the same batch as Zhu Chengqi, that Qi Minlan's embarrassment to Miao Liang reached a point of intensification.
