Chapter 640: Being a military wife is really not that easy.
"The place is big and there are few people!" Mother Su said what she learned.
"I can't get used to living in that place! It makes me feel uncomfortable just thinking about it!" Aunt Zeng shrugged.
Cousin Yang patted her gently.
Aunt Zeng then realized that she had said the wrong thing. What if Sister Yu didn't want her daughter to be with that Xiao Lu?
"I'm sorry, I just said that! In fact, remote places have their advantages! Sunuo doesn't have to stay there. It's enough for her to stay at her parents' home for a few months a year and at her husband's home for a few months. Don't soldiers have vacations? When you are on vacation, you can stay at both places." Aunt Zeng quickly elaborated on what she had just said.
"No need to say sorry. I know what you said." Mother Su smiled and looked at Aunt Zeng. "Sunuo's personality is just like her grandmother. My mother is stubborn and rarely changes her mind about things! How dare I force them not to be together? Of course, I have to show my attitude. But there are some things that should be insisted on." Mother Su's tone changed a little. "It's really not that easy to be a military wife. Look at my two cousins, Ning's cousin and Yang's cousin. They only come back for one or two months a year. They are usually in the army. They are all in remote places. The two sisters-in-law usually have to take care of the elderly, and they have to take care of the children after they have them. If it weren't for the help of my natal family, I don't know how hard life would be."
"Yes! Fortunately, my parents' home is close by! If it were far away, it would be really sad!" Cousin Yang also agreed with Su's mother's opinion. "So what are your plans? How many months a year will Su Nuo stay at her parents' home? How many months at her husband's home?"
"His father and I must be thinking the same thing. We can't let her stay at her husband's house forever. If anything happens here, we can still lend a hand. If she lives in Liaocheng for a long time, we can't help her at all if anything happens." Mother Su expressed her thoughts.
"Sister Yu, you are right!" Aunt Zeng nodded in agreement. "If we have a child in the future, the care from my parents will definitely be better than that from my husband's family. Let's not talk about other things, just the food. If Su Nuo says she wants to eat something, your mother will definitely make it for her right away. If it's your mother-in-law, you ask for this today and that tomorrow. It's okay if you ask for less. But if you ask for too much, do you think your mother-in-law will get angry?"
"Yes!" Mother Su nodded in agreement. "That's what I think! Stay in both places. Of course, we have to take care of the elderly there. It's just that we can take a few months a year to come back and live here. That way, Sunuo's life will be better!"
"Parents are so pitiful! When they are young, they worry that they won't grow up. When they grow up, they worry that they won't study well. When they become adults, they worry that they won't find a good partner. After they get married, they worry that they will be bullied by their in-laws. They also have to help take care of their grandchildren..." Yang's cousin sighed and said, "I told my two daughters that they can take care of grandchildren, but they can't leave it all to me. I have my own things to do. It's okay to take care of a few months a year! You can't take care of everything. If you do it all, it will become a habit. If you don't do it well one day, your in-laws will have something to say. This and that! Look at my friend, she doesn't get any good comments even though she helps take care of her grandchildren."
"I agree with what you said, cousin. But sometimes you just can't help it!"
