Mother Zhao's voice was gentle, "Xiaodong, don't behave disrespectfully with your second uncle, he is your elder!"
Zhao Dong was very stubborn in front of outsiders and would not listen to anyone, but he was an exception in front of his mother.
Perhaps because she had no father since she was a child, she was both respectful and afraid of her mother. As long as he was in front of her mother, he showed great ability and temper, so she had to keep it in check and never dare to disobey him in the slightest.
Zhao Qing saw Zhao Dong restraining his aura, and then he dared to speak, "Dad, you forgot, I told you that my cousin has retired from the army a long time ago."
The second uncle was stunned for a moment. He really has a bad memory recently, "When did it happen?"
Zhao Qing held back his words and said, "It's been three or four months. I guess he was sent back by the army, right?"
Zhao's mother raised her eyebrows, "Xiaodong is your cousin. Your father can say a few words about him. What qualifications do you have to say something about him?"
Zhao Qing said in an unconvinced tone, "Auntie, you must not know that you were hospitalized during this period, right? My cousin didn't find a serious job after he was discharged from the army. He worked as a security guard at the gate of a community!"
Zhao Dong did not defend himself. He was afraid that his mother would be worried, so he did not tell her about the incident. He even hid his breakup with Shu Qing.
Zhao’s mother didn’t ask much, “What’s wrong with the security guard? If he doesn’t steal or rob, could it be embarrassing for you, a college student?”
Zhao Qing shrank his neck and didn't reply for a moment. He had been afraid of Mother Zhao since he was a child. Although he looked kind, there was something he couldn't explain when he got serious, and he didn't even dare to look at her.
The girlfriend next to him was not happy, "Auntie, what you said is wrong. If being a security guard is more honorable, why should Xiaoqing and I go to college? We might as well become security guards!"
Mother Zhao's tone became serious, "Yes, he has insufficient academic qualifications and cannot do certain jobs. But if he hadn't been out there defending the country and sacrificing his life and blood, how would you have had the quiet time in college? I don't allow you to slander soldiers.
, and you are not allowed to slander a soldier who has devoted his youth to the country!"
After Zhao's mother finished speaking, there was silence in the ward.
The girl couldn't argue with Mother Zhao, so she turned her head away with an expression of disdain to argue.
Zhao Qing smiled and said nothing.
Zhao Dong has always been her pride. If these people slander her boss, she might still hold back, but if someone dares to slander Zhao Dong, she will never be able to bear it.
The second uncle coughed at this time and said, "Sister-in-law, we are talking about business, why does it involve soldiers? No one here dares to insult soldiers, and Xiaoqing and Xiaolan don't mean that either."
Zhao Qing added, "Yes, yes, Auntie, I didn't mean that."
As he spoke, he gave his girlfriend a signal. Today he was here to talk about the house. How could he start a quarrel over such a trivial matter?
Xiaolan refused to give in and muttered, "What's so great about being a soldier?"
The voice of this sentence was not low, just enough for everyone to hear it clearly.
Mother Zhao took a deep breath and said, "Please leave. I don't want to talk about the house today."
The second uncle stood up angrily and said, "Sister-in-law, what do you care about with your two children?"
Zhao Dong took a step forward and said, "My mother asked you to leave, didn't you hear?"
The eldest brother also added, "Second uncle, today is the day my mother is discharged from the hospital. If there is anything we can discuss later, we are all a family and there is nothing we cannot discuss."
Zhao Dong became even more angry when he heard this. His mother had been sick for more than two months and stayed in the hospital for nearly a month.
During the period of recuperation, surgery, and recuperation, my uncle's family didn't even have a single phone call, let alone a visit.
Today is a good day. I heard that my mother was discharged from the hospital and came here specifically to ask for a house. Isn't this sincerely causing trouble for others?
