Chapter 172 Parents Arrive [Fourth Update]
The proposal of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family really hit the heart of Lin's mother. She really wanted to go to the army where her son was. She really wanted to teach Chen Xiangxiu a lesson and let her know how to be someone's daughter-in-law.
The other daughters-in-law of the Lin family absolutely agreed that their mother-in-law went to her brother-in-law's side. What if Chen Xiangxiu faced her mother-in-law alone? Anyway, it was none of their business.
As long as the mother-in-law could be sent away and not let her continue to enslave them, they didn't care how miserable Chen Xiangxiu's future life would be.
Lin's mother really wanted to go, but she couldn't just go. She had to go to the captain to get a letter of introduction before she could buy a ticket and go far away.
Although the captain was a relative of the Lin family, they had just quarreled with one family two days ago, so it was difficult to get a letter of introduction from the captain.
And how could they tell the captain to introduce the letter of introduction for what? If Lin's mother was going to preach to Chen Xiangxiu, the daughter-in-law, and "teach" her daughter-in-law, what could the Chen family do?
But since Lin's mother was persuaded by her daughter-in-law to spend the winter at Lin Weiguo's place, she could not give up the idea. The most important thing was that she wanted to teach Chen Xiangxiu a lesson, let her know what a daughter-in-law should do, and let her know that being a daughter-in-law of the Lin family was not that simple.
The Lin family prepared for many days and finally got the letter of introduction. Of course, Lin's mother could not go on a long journey alone, and Lin's father also went with her.
After all, these are Lin Weiguo's parents. They want to go to their son's place to spend the New Year with him and let him honor them. That is legitimate and reasonable.
The other people in the Lin family absolutely support Lin's father and mother to leave, so when they go out, Lin's father and mother go out together.
The old couple are not ignorant. Lin's father can recognize a few words. Although Lin's mother can't read a single word, she knows how to ask for directions, so there is no need to worry about getting lost when she goes out.
Before boarding the train, Lin's father and mother called Lin Weiguo to tell him that they were going there, and asked him to calculate the time and pick up the old couple at the train station.
"Mom and Dad are coming to my place to spend the winter?" Lin Weiguo was surprised after receiving the call. He really didn't expect that his parents would suddenly want to come to his place.
"Weiguo, it will snow in our hometown soon, and there will definitely be nothing to do. It's hard to endure the winter, so it's just right for Mom and Dad to go to the south for the New Year."
"It shouldn't be as cold in the south as in our hometown?" said the eldest son of the Lin family.
"Okay, okay, why do you have to say so much to him? Isn't it free to call?" Mother Lin looked at her eldest son who wanted to continue to persuade Lin Weiguo, and snatched the phone and said, "You don't welcome me and your father to go there, right?"
"Are you planning to leave us at the train station now that we are there?" Mother Lin said, "Okay, just remember to come and pick me and your father up when the time comes, no more words."
After that, Mother Lin hung up the phone and turned to her eldest son and said, "I tell you, you have to take care of the house for me. If I come back after the New Year and find the house in a mess, I will deal with you!"
Father Lin and Mother Lin said goodbye to their sons and boarded the train to Xishu Province.
Xishu Province.
"Dad and Mom are coming here to spend the winter?" Chen Xiangxiu was a little surprised when she heard the news about Lin Weiguo. She really didn't expect this to happen.
You know, Lin Weiguo has been a soldier for so many years, and his father and mother have never thought of coming to disturb him. Even when Lin Weiguo was too busy to go home to visit his family, they didn't complain too much.
Why is it coming this year? Could it be because of her?
When Chen Xiangxiu thought about how she married Lin Weiguo after she came to the army, and she didn't plan to go back to her hometown to hold the wedding, and she got married without notifying her parents and in-laws, she felt that according to Lin's mother's personality, she would never let it go easily.
Chen Xiangxiu had also heard her mother talk about Lin's mother over the years. After all, Chen Xiangxiu was definitely going to marry into the Lin family. It would be good for her to understand the character and behavior of her mother-in-law and other people in her in-laws' family.
Lin's mother's personality was not as good as outside, which was also what Chen Xiangxiu's mother told her. It was just that the mother and daughter couldn't go out and say how bad Lin's mother was. It was not a good thing to ruin the reputation of their mother-in-law.
But Chen Xiangxiu remembered very clearly that her mother once told her that Lin's mother was not an easy person to get along with. She had to think of a way not to make the relationship awkward, but she couldn't suffer too much grievance.
After all, Chen Xiangxiu was the precious daughter of the Chen family. How could Chen's mother let her daughter be bullied?
"Now that my parents are here, where will they live?" This was the first question that came to Chen Xiangxiu's mind.
Lin Weiguo did get a house, but it was actually just because Chen Xiangxiu came over and they got married, so they got a one-bedroom, one-living room house.
The house they live in is probably only about 20 square meters in size, with only one room and a small living room.
How can such a house be given to Lin's parents?
It's impossible for Lin's parents to stay for just a few days. According to their intention, they plan to spend the winter here, and they may not go back after the Chinese New Year, so they have to stay for several months. It's impossible for them to live in a guesthouse for several months.
"I'll think of a way." Lin Weiguo said.
Of course, he couldn't let his wife find a way. Even if his wife is now somewhat capable, she is still relatively inexperienced compared to him.
The most important thing is that his parents are here. How can he let his wife help?
Lin Weiguo also knew that his wife might not have an easy life when his parents came over. It's not like he hasn't seen his mother getting along with his sisters-in-law when he went home to visit relatives, and he also knew that his mother was not easy to get along with.
But that was the mother who gave birth to him and raised him. It was good that he could persuade his mother not to treat his sisters-in-law so harshly. It was impossible for him to fight against his mother because of his sisters-in-law.
Now it was his own wife's turn, and Lin Weiguo was also very distressed.
"Xiangxiu, if my mother says anything unpleasant to you after she comes here, don't take it to heart. Just treat her as nonsense. Don't be angry." Lin Weiguo said seriously.
"I'm not letting you be wronged, but if you guys get into a fight, I don't know who to help." Lin Weiguo took her hand and said, "When the time comes, just say that you are busy with work and you don't need to follow me during the day. If you want to get along with your mother, try to avoid meeting each other at night..."
As he talked, Lin Weiguo himself felt that what he said was just to make his wife compromise, which was very bad, and his voice gradually weakened.
Chen Xiangxiu smiled and said, "I know, I won't quarrel with my mother."
She was really too lazy to argue with Mother Lin. If Mother Lin was really too much, she was not a soft persimmon. Anyway, we would see about it then.
Anyway, she does have a "job" and is very busy every day. If she can avoid meeting Lin's mother, then she shouldn't go with her. She just got married, so it's better to avoid the spotlight for the time being and not confront her mother-in-law.
