Military Marriage: Boss, my sister-in-law got beaten up again

After more than ten days, the busy farming season in the village was over.

Li started preparing winter clothes at home.

Chen was also free, so she leaned on the bed, but her hands were not idle either, as she and Li were making new clothes for the winter.

"Mom, look, I'll make it according to this model, okay?" Chen said to Li.

Gu Yao had nothing to do at the moment, so she went to Gu's house and saw them making clothes. "Mom, you are making clothes."

"Well, now you don't have to go to work. You can make these clothes as soon as possible while you are at home." Li looked up at Gu Yao, then lowered her head to continue with the work in her hands. "Why are you hanging around outside instead of staying at home to help your mother-in-law with some work?"

"Mom, look at what you said. What can I do to help my mother-in-law? She's already causing enough trouble at home," Gu Yao said embarrassedly.

Whenever her mother-in-law saw that she wanted to help, she was always worried that she would destroy things and was very careful.

"You are not a child anymore, and you are married. You should learn what you should learn. Help to turn over the quilts, dry them and wash them again. While the weather is good now, you can't miss the work that should be done," Li said naggingly.

"Mine are all new and don't need to be washed. I never have to touch anything in my mother-in-law's room," Gu Yao said with her head raised.

Gu Yao also knew that she had clumsy hands. The current Gu Yao had never done much housework since childhood. She had never done things like washing quilt covers. She could only wash clothes.

As for doing this kind of work with delicate stitches, I have never done it before.

Before, Mrs. Li always said that her daughter should be spoiled. Now it’s different. If she wasn’t taught when she was young, who can change her all of a sudden after she got married?

Even if I am the soul of my previous life, even if my family was poor when I was a child, I still sleep with a quilt cover on.

If you feel it is not clean anymore, just tear it off and wash it.

People in this period did not need quilt covers at all, but fortunately they made their own quilt covers, which they simply sewed according to the size of the quilt.

My quilts are all new, so fortunately I don’t have to wash them like this.

Otherwise it will be a lot of trouble.

The fabrics of quilts during this period were all made of pure cotton, which was particularly easy to get dirty, and it was considered a good idea to wash it once a quarter. Gu Yao, who loved cleanliness, couldn't stand it.

"Mom, I use quilt covers for all my quilts, so you don't have to worry about getting the quilt dirty. This way you don't have to wash it, which saves a lot of trouble." Gu Yao said as she used quilt covers to cover the quilts in her room.

"You spendthrift, that cloth is so expensive. Hey, your mother-in-law is a good one. She doesn't care about you at all. You should be content." Li said, thinking of how it was not easy for Wang to raise a son. Her daughter's belly was still small. "By the way, are you pregnant? You and Zai Ye have been together for a while."

"Mom, what are you talking about? My period hadn't even ended the day Zaiye left." Gu Yao looked speechlessly at Li who was working, her old face flushed.

Why are so many people trying to have a baby as soon as possible? How can I do that alone?

"Oh, look at me, I'm so busy that I'm confused. You'd better hurry up. You're in the field or in the army, and you're often on missions. You don't have much time. If you have the chance, arrange for him to have a baby. No matter whether it's a boy or a girl, your husband is the only one who can decide," Li said earnestly.

If I don't push my daughter a little, I'm really worried that she will never become smart.

"Mom, look at you. I am the only one who should be worried about this. Why are you so anxious?" Gu Yao was speechless. Even if it was to lay an egg, someone had to sow the seeds.

Although Gu Yao was speechless, what Li said was true. In this era, if a daughter-in-law gets married but does not have children, she will always be gossiped about.

Although Wang didn't say anything on the surface, she was also anxious. After all, her son was not a child anymore. People of his age already had several children. Some had children in their teens, and their children are already in junior high school. Now her son had no children yet. She was indeed a little anxious.

"Okay, don't forget what I told you before. Please help make the cotton-padded jackets and trousers for Grandpa Zhao and Grandpa Gou. Your family members' clothes are already made, so you can do theirs too." The two old men were nice people and gave away quite a few of their things. Of course, they belonged to the original owners, but the original owners were carefree.

Now I am thinking about treating them well. When they are rehabilitated in the future, such talents of the older generation will not be buried, and many things can be passed on.

As for connections, you never know when you might be able to use someone, so just do it with a clear conscience.

"I know. Didn't you say you wanted to go to a certain school for further studies? Can you do it?" Mrs. Li was still a little unsure about how far her daughter had learned so far, yet she wanted to enroll in a class for further studies right away.

"Of course, Grandma Du was very good to me before and taught me a lot. She was a top professor of Western medicine in the country. But she was too weak and passed away early. It's such a pity," Gu Yao said with a sigh.

"Hey, the old people in this cowshed are all good people. They are very useful to the country. Why were they put in the cowshed? They are very useful to the country, but their lives are even worse than those of ordinary people like us," Li sighed.

"Mom, it's enough for us to know about this. Don't tell anyone else." Gu Yao was really worried that Li would lose control of her voice when she went out, and it would be bad if she talked nonsense outside and the family members were under scrutiny.

"Look at you, among the three of us, how can your sister-in-law tell anyone?" Li said, glancing at Chen.

Chen was panicking. She had finally gotten the whole family to look at her in peace, but her mother-in-law said this again. She was scared to death, "Mom, we are a family. We can't spread what family members say outside. I'm not a fool. I know what not to say."

Seeing Chen's nervous look, Mrs. Li said, "Mom was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously. But we should do more work in the future and not mention their affairs. Help if you can, and not mentioning them is also to avoid trouble for our family," said Mrs. Li.

"I know, I know. We know about this matter. We will definitely not let mom worry about it. I will take care of the cotton-padded jacket and trousers. Mom, you just need to turn over the quilt," Chen said with a smile.

Turning over the quilt is the easiest thing to do, because all you need to do is know how to sew, and it is not as troublesome as making a cotton-padded jacket or trousers.

To sew the quilt, just sew it in a straight line. It doesn't require any skills.

For Li, it is a little easier.

I directly told my mother-in-law that I made cotton jackets and trousers to dispel her suspicion of me.
