Chapter 160 The New Division Commander's Wife
Wang Xiuwen: "What else could happen? The Ma family was willing to pay, and they took out the money and gave it to Honghui on the spot. Ding Hongmei had injuries on her face, or even more serious ones. The director told Honghui to give something in return, but judging from Honghui's expression at the time, she was clearly unwilling. In the end, it will definitely be left unresolved."
Wang Xiuwen sighed, "After this incident, I'm afraid none of the kids from Ding's side will go anymore."
Shu Yun: "Isn't that great? I suppose she wouldn't want to teach so many children."
Wang Xiuwen: "That's not necessarily true. She lost face in the compound, and that made her famous."
That evening, Shu Yun had just finished feeding her baby when she heard a loud commotion from next door. The baby, who was unconsciously spitting out milk bubbles in his sleep, immediately sniffled. Shu Yun had a bad feeling and quickly handed the baby to Gu Jun: "Quick, put the baby over to Mom's, it's too noisy here."
Gu Jun took the child away, and when he came back, he saw Shu Yun leaning against the wall, listening intently.
Gu Jun asked helplessly, "Can you hear me?"
Shu Yun: "Shh. It's getting lively."
?: "Can't you just put up with it? I've only just been transferred here, my position isn't stable yet, and I don't know many people. I originally wanted to use your small class to get closer to them, but you've ruined it all. And what will Commander Ma think of me now?"
Ding Hongmei had been holding back her anger for a long time. "How can I look at you? Why don't you think about me? I'm your wife. I was bullied by that woman Hong Hui, why don't you stand up for me?"
?: "Why should I interfere in your women's affairs? Besides, you definitely bear some responsibility as well."
Ding Hongmei was furious. She picked up a plastic basin and threw it at the person, yelling, "Then you can leave my business alone and get out of here!"
Another clattering sound followed. Shu Yun moved her ears away; it seemed the couple was about to have a full-blown fight!
Thanks to the antics Ding Hongmei created, Shu Yun found much more enjoyment during her postpartum period. A month passed quickly, and the baby changed a lot. The redness on his skin completely faded, leaving it fair and tender. The little guy was a chubby baby from birth, and after a month of good food and drink and breastfeeding, he became even more chubby, with a round head and round eyes. The baby was especially close to his mother, and when Shu Yun held him in her arms, his favorite thing to do was to snuggle into her arms.
Shu Yun hadn't showered or washed her hair for over a month. In her own opinion, she was stinking. It's true that a child doesn't mind its mother's ugliness.
She took out the red chili pepper doll that Wang Xiuwen had just made from beside the bed and waved it in front of the baby to attract his attention, saying, "Baby, look over here."
The child has already developed a reaction to colors. Among a bunch of red, orange, yellow and green toys, the little guy's favorite is red. Every time he sees one, his round eyes will follow it.
Shu Yun saw Wang Xiuwen outside the window and immediately called out, "Mom, isn't it been a month? Shouldn't I be out of confinement by now?"
"Really?" Wang Xiuwen wiped her hands on her clothes and ran to flip through the calendar. "Hmm, it really is. Today marks exactly one month. Should we wait a few more days?"
"No." Shu Yun didn't want to waste a minute longer. She cheered inwardly, softened her tone, and said to Wang Xiuwen in a coquettish tone, "Mom, I want to wash my hair and take a bath today."
Wang Xiuwen didn't quite agree, saying, "It's cold, just wipe your body down, don't catch a cold."
Shu Yun shook her head vigorously, "It won't be cold. I need to wash. If I don't wash soon, I'll be covered in mud."
Wang Xiuwen couldn't persuade her otherwise, so she boiled hot water for her and told her to hurry up. Shu Yun agreed readily, but it took her an hour to scrub all the mud off her body. She felt that her skin had become much whiter. If Wang Xiuwen hadn't been urging her so much, she would have soaked in it for a while longer.
A lot happened during Shu Yun's postpartum period. First, Gu Jun's superior, Regiment Commander Chen, was transferred and left. They had a farewell dinner, but since Shu Yun was in postpartum confinement at the time, only Gu Jun went. Shu Yun prepared a gift for him.
Secondly, Commander Zhu's wife came to join the army a few days ago, making the courtyard quite lively, but Shu Yun still missed it.
Shu Yun was still on maternity leave, comfortably staying in her own little home every day. Perhaps due to the exhaustion from childbirth, Shu Yun developed a strong craving for sweets after her confinement period ended. She started trying to make egg tarts at home, and after several failures, she finally managed to make them, filling the whole house with their aroma.
The golden egg tarts not only look like real egg tarts, but also smell incredibly creamy.
"What's that smell? It smells so good!" Tian Xiufen's mouth watered before she even stepped into Shu Yun's yard.
Shu Yun happened to bring out a few egg tarts and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law is so lucky! These egg tarts are piping hot and just out of the oven. Want to try one?"
"Egg tart?" Tian Xiufen picked one up, took a small bite, and was instantly captivated by the rich milky aroma. "Delicious!"
Shu Yun pushed the plate forward, "Sister-in-law, don't be shy, there's more."
Tian Xiufen refused, waving her hand, "Just a taste is enough."
"By the way, I came here because I'm going to the division commander's wife's house for dinner later. Shall we go together?"
Shu Yun: "Eat?"
Tian Xiufen: "You didn't drink it, did you?"
Shu Yun shook her head, "No, I haven't left the house since I finished my postpartum confinement." "Hey, why don't you come with me to the division commander's house? The division commander's wife will definitely welcome you. When I went there last time, she even talked about you, saying that she had heard of your great name and wanted to get to know you."
Since Tian Xiufen had said so, Shu Yun couldn't refuse. "Alright, sister-in-law, you sit here for a while, I'll go change my clothes."
Shu Yun changed her clothes and packed the freshly baked egg tarts to take with her.
Before leaving, Wang Xiuwen held the baby and waved his little hand to Shu Yun, "Oh, baby, say goodbye to Mommy."
The baby smiled happily, and Shu Yun kissed his soft little face before going to the division commander's house with Tian Xiufen.
On the way there, Tian Xiufen gave Shu Yun a brief introduction to the division commander's wife.
"The division commander's wife is named Wang Xuemei. She is also from Haicheng, but she later married far away. She had been taking care of her parents-in-law who were in poor health. This year, the elderly couple's health has improved a lot, and their youngest son has also returned. That's why the division commander's wife came to join the army."
As they talked, they soon arrived at the division commander's house. Even before entering, they could hear laughter and chatter coming from inside; it was quite lively.
As soon as Shu Yun stepped into the house, the first thing she saw was a short-haired woman surrounded by the crowd. She had the trendy bob hairstyle, with her hair only reaching her ears. Her eyebrows were light and sparse, but her eyes under her eyebrows were exceptionally bright. The corners of her mouth were slightly curved. She was a little plump, but she sat on the sofa with a very upright posture.
Shu Yun breathed a sigh of relief, guessing that the division commander's wife shouldn't be too difficult to get along with. But the next moment, she saw Ding Hongmei next to the division commander's wife. The two were much closer to each other than the other military wives, and they seemed to have a good relationship.
