"Yes, yes, yes, they're all in this little house over here," Grandpa Sun said with a smile.

"It's all in foreign languages, and I don't recognize it. Take a look for yourself. Take what you want."

Jiang Yue walked into the room and saw a large pile of books in the corner, not only in English, but also in Japanese, German, Russian and other languages.

Besides English, Russian books were the most numerous among the other books.

Many of her elders had studied Russian, and she learned some from them since childhood. However, she wasn't as fluent in English as she is in English, and could only communicate in daily life.

Jiang Yue carefully selected several books, and after more than twenty minutes, she picked out dozens of books.

Some of these books are world classics, while others are other types of books.

After tying it up with a rope, Jiang Yue carried it out.

Six yuan.

Jiang Yue handed over the money and thanked her with a smile.

"Xiao Jiang, do you want to use this cart to load these things up and push them back?" Looking at Jiang Yue's thin figure carrying such two large bundles of things, Grandpa Sun pointed to the wheelbarrow next to him.

"Thank you, Uncle Sun, I can carry it."

Jiang Yue carried the things home, took out a few books, put them in a canvas bag, and walked towards where she was going to catch her ride.

Several dogs followed Jiang Yue.

As they approached the parking spot, Jiang Yue looked at the dogs.

"You guys go back now, I'll come back in a few days."

Several dogs wagged their tails at Jiang Yue and stood there watching her.

For some reason, Jiang Yue felt that they were telling her to wait until she got into the car before leaving.

After Jiang Yue reached the parking spot, the dogs were still watching her from a short distance away.

"Comrade Jiang, didn't you go to the city today?"

When Jiang Yue's sister-in-law saw her, she greeted her with a smile.

"Yes, I took a bus back to the county town this afternoon."

"I see."

Jiang Yue listened to everyone chatting. She used to never participate in conversations, thinking they were just trivial family matters and mundane stuff. But now, listening, she realized these conversations weren't so boring after all; she could learn something about other people's lives from them.

Gossip about everyone – who's arguing with whom, whose kids are fighting, whose mother-in-law is mistreating her daughter-in-law, whose daughter-in-law is disrespectful to her mother-in-law...

"Have you heard? Someone is trying to set up a date with Battalion Commander Zhu."

"Battalion Commander Zhu's wife has been gone for several years. It's really not right that there's no woman to take care of the house."

"I heard that Battalion Commander Zhu wants a girl from the city who also has a job."

Upon hearing the name Battalion Commander Zhu, Jiang Yue suddenly remembered. This Battalion Commander Zhu was also one of Qin Xiang's admirers.

Battalion Commander Zhu even asked someone to propose marriage to Qin Xiang, but Qin Xiang's heart belonged to Lu Yu, and she did not agree to Battalion Commander Zhu's proposal. However, Battalion Commander Zhu continued to silently protect Qin Xiang and did many things for her.

After her divorce from Lu Yu, Qin Xiang and several other people came to the hospital. They deliberately talked about how good Commander Zhu and Lu Yu were to Qin Xiang. They told her that she, a withered flower, was unworthy of these people.

Even though she told outsiders that she was innocent, no one believed her.

Jiang Yue snapped out of her thoughts.

"I heard that Sister-in-law Xiao is so helpful to Comrade Qin because Comrade Qin grew up in a prestigious compound in Beijing, and her status is even higher than Comrade Xiao Yi's..."

"That can't be right. She was dressed so poorly when she first arrived."

"I heard that she dresses simply because her family has strict discipline. Otherwise, why would Sister Xiao treat her so well?"
