Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 2050 - 2068: Is It Necessary?

There’s only so much land at home, and when they distributed it to households back then, all three brothers got a share. Since Shen Weixing has been in the army all this time, his land got split between the Shen Haijun brothers. If Shen Weixing gets expelled, won’t he have to go home and farm?

No way, absolutely no way.

"The army is stricter than we imagined. When we arrived today, we already offended the guard at the gate. I’m not trying to blame you, but your mouth really isn’t good. In the village, you can say whatever you want as long as it’s not illegal, but where are we? We’re in the army. Many things can’t be said here. If you’re not careful, you’ll be probing into military secrets and will be shot. You won’t even get the chance to be a reform-through-labor convict; you’ll be executed on the spot."

Li Erhua was so frightened her face turned pale. She wasn’t very educated, only reaching second grade in primary school, and she used to be quite the bully in the village. Now, hearing her daughter talk, she was scared into a cold sweat.

"Mom, I’m doing this for your own good," Shen Zian said sincerely. "Think about it, if you cause trouble here and get shot, what would we do? I’d end up being a child without a mom, wouldn’t I? Then Dad would find me a stepmother, and I’d be even worse off."

When Li Erhua heard Shen Haijun wanted to remarry, she fiercely glared, "He wouldn’t dare. If he dares to marry, I’ll kill him."

"By then, you wouldn’t be there, leaving just poor little me..."

"I’m going back tomorrow." Li Erhua couldn’t be bothered to take advantage and immediately started packing her luggage. After bustling about for half a day and finally packing up, she realized. "Wait a minute, daughter, aren’t you siding with outsiders now? Did you just trick me into leaving?"

"How could I!" Shen Zian deliberately put on a spoiled look, arrogantly raising her chin, "Didn’t you remember my purpose for coming this time? I’m looking for a wealthy and influential husband, so that I can completely outshine my third uncle’s family in the future." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Really?" Li Erhua got excited at the thought of having a powerful son-in-law.

"Of course. Do you really think I’d be interested in that kid Stone? How could I! He’s so poor; I wouldn’t want him!" Oh my! In the dream, Stone had become a wealthy tycoon.

Actually, thinking about it, Stone isn’t bad at all!

Li Erhua felt suspicious, "Why don’t I quite believe it?" She felt her daughter had changed a lot since they left, becoming sneaky, and she couldn’t quite understand her anymore.

"Why would I lie to you? Is there any need?"

Li Erhua shook her head.

"That’s right." Shen Zian paused, tapping her forehead as if having an epiphany: "I remember now, before leaving, I think I saw Dad helping Liu Yuying from the village carry water! Liu Yuying even called Dad to rest at her home! Now you’re not home, and I think Liu Yuying is pretty, who knows if Dad might make a mistake."

Liu Yuying is a young widow in the village; her husband died unexpectedly years ago, and she hasn’t remarried. She looks nice and has fair skin, so many ruffians and hoodlums want to take advantage of her. Even some married men frequently offer to help her with farm work and such.

The young wives in the village hate her to death. They clench their teeth whenever they mention her, acting as if they’re guarding against a thief.

"What? What did you say?" Li Erhua screamed hysterically, waking Shen Weixing and his wife in the next room.
