Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland

So as Zhang Cuihua listened to her mother-in-law heap praise on Meng Yunhan, and Meng Yunhan noticed that her older sister-in-law’s face seemed off, she couldn’t interrupt her mother-in-law’s commendations and could only manage a helpless smile.

In reality, she understood why her mother-in-law was praising her so much; it was because many local women had been stirring up trouble behind her back recently.

She genuinely wanted to learn how to be a good daughter-in-law, so unlike her past life, she earnestly completed duties she had once refused to do.

Zhang Cuihua felt slightly resentful but couldn’t find any words to retort.

At home, it wasn’t just her mother-in-law praising Yunhan, her father-in-law was also very pleased, the kids adored their younger aunt, and even her husband suggested she improve her relationship with her sister-in-law.

Additionally, Yunhan’s cooking skills were truly impressive. No matter the dish, her version always seemed to taste better than Cuihua’s own attempts. Even the youngest daughter often mentioned her Third Aunt, again and again.

By noon, some people began to notice that the food was tasting better than it had before. Upon enquiring, they found out that it was all thanks to Meng Yunhan’s cooking.

Meng Yunhan, being a teacher, returned to school after ten days of farm work.

In addition to the chores at home, she also helped with the children and went out to collect pig feed.

Finally, the busy farming period had passed and the weather was starting to warm up.

Meng Yunhan took the opportunity of needing textbooks to make several trips to the town. Of course, each trip was never fruitless.

Every time she went to town, she would bring something; perhaps some vegetables or mushrooms. Once, she even carried a jug of wine to the recycling station.

As a result, she became more and more familiar with the old fellows in the town.

“Hanhan, summer vacation is only a month away. What are you planning to do?” Yunmu pulled Meng Yunhan aside and asked her. Over the past few months, she had seen her son and daughter-in-law exchanging letters, and naturally wanted to hold a grandchild soon. The only way that was going to happen was if Yunhan went to the army camp.

“Mother, are you suggesting I should go to the army camp?” Although Meng Yunhan wasn’t truly an eighteen-year-old girl, after thinking carefully, she understood Yunmu’s intentions.

After living with her young daughter-in-law for a few months, Yunmu knew that she was a smart woman who often understood her intentions before she even voiced them.

“Hanhan, I know summers can be very hot, but Ahao isn’t getting any younger.”

Meng Yunhan blushed at her mother-in-law’s blunt words.

“Mother, wouldn’t that be inappropriate?”

Was she suggesting that she leave Qingzhao Village to go to the army camp?

She hadn’t gone there even once in her previous life; in fact, she subconsciously avoided soldiers after returning to the city once. Now she was supposed to go there? She was a bit apprehensive about getting along with the other army wives and worried about causing conflicts that might affect her husband’s career.

Though she could tolerate others right now, it didn’t mean she would do nothing if she were constantly provoked.

“There’s nothing wrong with it. When summer vacation arrives, you can go to the army camp. If you don’t want to, your eldest brother can take you there. It’s risky for a woman to travel alone,” Yunmu said, showing some hesitation.

“Mother, I can go and visit Ahao on my own, we don’t have to trouble my eldest brother. I managed to travel here on my own in the first place,” said Meng Yunhan, who was a woman in her forties. Having her brother-in-law accompany her might make Cuihua even more resentful.

“Are you planning to go alone?”
