Chapter 145 A Feeling of Being Monitored
Chapter 145 A Feeling of Being Monitored
"What? You want to leave her in the military region?"
Upon hearing Cheng Baichuan's words, Li Wanqing sat up in shock.
She hadn't intended to ask, but Cheng Baichuan brought up their plan to her on his own initiative.
The fact that Liu Yufen was asked to stay and cooperate immediately made Li Wanqing uneasy.
"You should know that I don't get along with her, and you want me to take care of her?" Li Wanqing felt like she was going crazy.
Take care of? She wanted nothing more than to kill him.
Cheng Baichuan didn't expect Li Wanqing to react so strongly, so he quickly tugged at her hand and whispered to comfort her, "It's only temporary."
Li Wanqing raised an eyebrow slightly, "How long is 'temporarily'?"
She knew they had a plan, but there were many ways to keep Liu Yufen in the military region. She didn't want to wrong herself, and she certainly couldn't wrong her daughter.
"We have to wait for news from the leaders' people in Shou County," Cheng Baichuan said. "Only when we have news from there can we take action here."
Li Wanqing looked at him with a mocking gaze, "How can you believe you're not a member of the Cheng family now?"
Cheng Baichuan shook his head. "I will always be a member of the Cheng family."
Li Wanqing was slightly taken aback, then realized that the leader also had the surname Cheng, and was speechless.
"Ha! You're still in the mood to joke with me?" Li Wanqing pushed him. "I thought you were going to cry your eyes out."
Cheng Baichuan said seriously, "I'm a soldier, why would I cry?"
He didn't believe it at first, but his mother's reaction was just too suspicious.
Especially when his wife was testing him, he could clearly sense the guilt in her words.
Otherwise, given her usual personality, if she were falsely accused, she would have already started beating and scolding her.
Li Wanqing said "Oh," without saying whether she believed it or not, "If you want to test her, you'd better not let me take care of her."
"Given our current irreconcilable relationship, asking me to take care of her would only make her more suspicious."
Cheng Baichuan thought about it and felt that Li Wanqing's words made sense, but he did not expect that Liu Yufen would make a fuss about returning to Shou County the next day.
Early in the morning, before Cheng Baichuan had even gone to the military camp, Li Wanqing was tying Nuonuo's hair when there was a rapid knocking at the door, accompanied by Liu Yufen's loud voice.
"Third brother, open the door."
Cheng Baichuan glanced at Li Wanqing, who looked completely innocent. "Why are you looking at me? If you don't open the door, are you going to let her disturb everyone around us?"
Cheng Baichuan then opened the door, and Liu Yufen immediately started yelling as soon as she entered, "What's going on? I've been knocking for ages before you opened the door. Is your wife not allowing you to open it?"
When Nuonuo saw her grandmother, she shrank closer to her mother and clung tightly to her mother's clothes.
Cheng Baichuan frowned. "Mom, this has nothing to do with Wanqing. Why are you here so early?"
“I’m your mother, can’t I come to see my son?” Liu Yufen said shamelessly.
Li Wanqing was too lazy to listen to her, and walked out with Nuonuo. "Nuonuo and I are leaving first. Please tidy up the things in the kitchen."
Without paying any attention to Liu Yufen, he took Nuonuo and left.
Liu Yufen pointed at Li Wanqing's retreating figure and said angrily, "Is this the wife you married? Does she even have any respect for me, her mother-in-law?"
"You've never treated her like a wife, so why should you expect her to respect you?" Cheng Baichuan retorted.
"You!" Liu Yufen was furious. "You've really forgotten your mother after getting married."
"Speak, what brings you here?" Cheng Baichuan asked.
Liu Yufen took a deep breath and held out her hand, "Give me the money, I want to go back."
Cheng Baichuan raised an eyebrow. "If you don't have money, why don't you stay here a few more days?"
Liu Yufen shook her head. "If you have the money to stay in a guesthouse, you might as well give it to me."
A night at a guesthouse is so expensive. Even though she doesn't have to pay, it's better to give her the money instead.
"I don't have that much money on hand, I need to borrow some," Cheng Baichuan said, feigning difficulty. "All my previous allowances have already been sent home."
"Who are you trying to fool!" Liu Yufen waved her hand, her face full of disbelief. "Now that you've been promoted, you must have more money than before."
"You haven't sent us a single penny these past few months!"
Cheng Baichuan felt a headache coming on and didn't want to dwell on the matter any longer. "Mom, have you had breakfast?"
Liu Yufen rubbed her stomach and exclaimed, "Of course not! Hurry up and make me something to eat!"
"I'm not trying to criticize your wife, but I'm her mother-in-law, after all. How can she just pack up and leave like that? What kind of behavior is that!"
“If you say that again, you can go back to the guesthouse!” Cheng Baichuan said sternly.
Liu Yufen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately said nothing more.
The guesthouse is nice, but there's always a feeling of being monitored.
"Third brother, can I stay at home? That guesthouse... is too expensive."
While tidying up the kitchen, Cheng Baichuan cooked noodles. "There's not enough room at home, so it'll be more convenient for you to stay at the guesthouse."
Liu Yufen looked at the three neat main rooms and said, "Where can't we fit? This is better than our house back home. I can even sleep on the floor."
Cheng Baichuan refused, no matter what Liu Yufen said, he wouldn't budge.
After Liu Yufen finished her breakfast slowly, Cheng Baichuan was in a hurry to go to the military camp.
"Mom, you go back to the guesthouse, I'm going to the military camp."
Liu Yufen sat in the chair and let out a slight burp. After hearing Cheng Baichuan's words, she waved her hand impatiently.
"You can go ahead if you're busy. I'm too full, I need to rest for a bit."
Cheng Baichuan glanced at his watch; there really wasn't enough time. "Then remember to lock the door when you leave later."
Liu Yufen nodded and urged, "Go ahead and get busy. I know what I'm doing."
Cheng Baichuan was still a little worried, but he really didn't have time now, so he had to leave first.
After Cheng Baichuan left, Liu Yufen jumped up and ran towards the courtyard gate.
After confirming that Cheng Baichuan had indeed gone far away, he closed the courtyard gate and looked around the entire courtyard with a smile on his face.
......
Li Wanqing took Nuonuo to the Liang family's house, and they also heard that Liu Yufen had come.
They all asked with concern, but Li Wanqing couldn't say that those weren't Cheng Baichuan's biological mother's words, so she just casually mentioned a few things.
The focus was on what the original owner and Nuonuo had experienced in the Cheng family, which made Feng Weiwei and the others very angry.
"No wonder you ignore her. You shouldn't bother with people like that," Guo Chunxiang said coldly.
“My mother-in-law used to be a very difficult person, but after I moved with my child to join her military unit, the relationship became less tense.”
"Especially after I had three sons."
“She sent a lot of things from her hometown during this pregnancy, but I will never forget the suffering I experienced during my postpartum period.”
"Don't even think about getting close to them, just treat them like ordinary relatives."
