After her death, Su Di discovered she was living inside a book where the female protagonist became wealthy and successful in the past era.
Unfortunately, she wasn't the female protagonist...
No one is born to give 100% to others. Even family members can be good or bad. Suti never easily trusts anyone.
Now that she has reached this point and obtained everything she wanted, she is very satisfied, and of course, the Li family is equally satisfied.
Talking to smart people is time-saving and effortless. Suti and Wei Baichuan got what they wanted, and now they just need to wait.
"Your dad and I are going to work in a bit. If you're bored at home, you can ask Xiao Liu to take you for a stroll around Beijing."
After discussing it with them, the old marshal knew what to do and would get things done as soon as possible.
"Then Grandpa, you can go ahead and do your work." Suti did indeed plan to go and stroll around the capital.
After Marshal Li left with Qi Feng, only Su Ti and Wei Baichuan remained at home.
Having experienced those things in the future, Suti felt that since they had come to the capital, they definitely had to buy a house; she would feel like she was missing out if they didn't.
However, real estate transactions are quite chaotic right now, and there are many troubles after buying a property.
Given Baichuan's current status, he will also lack housing in the future. However, since they have money and cannot do business, buying a house is the safest investment.
"Let's go out for a stroll?" Suti decided to take a walk first, and happily pulled the other person out the door.
Seeing his wife's happy expression, Wei Baichuan couldn't help but smile. His wife was even more at ease in the city.
The military compound is very large, and most of the buildings are detached houses, either two-story white buildings or blue brick and tile buildings, with an antique feel.
Rows and pairs of sycamore trees are planted on both sides of the road.
However, now that winter has arrived, most of the branches and leaves have withered, leaving only a few withered yellow leaves clinging stubbornly to the branches, seemingly about to fall.
Sunlight filtered through the leaves, quietly casting golden dappled patterns of light on the asphalt road.
"Comrades, you must be the Li family's grandson and granddaughter-in-law, right?" Su Ti and his companion were still admiring the scenery on both sides of the road when they were stopped by several women carrying baskets.
"Who are you?" Suti glanced at the group. They were dressed very simply; although there were no patches, it was clearly made of ordinary cotton fabric.
This would be more welcome, as it would showcase one's status, and in this weather, people would be wearing wool coats more often.
Then there are leather jackets; while fashionable girls wear wool sweaters, cotton-padded jackets are the least noticeable.
“We’re from the same compound, just a few houses next to yours.” Several aunties looked at Su Ti and Wei Baichuan with curiosity in their eyes.
He looks so energetic, he doesn't look like he comes from the countryside at all.
It was nothing like the person they had imagined—a face full of wrinkles, dark skin, and a rustic way of speaking.
The young man was very energetic and looked quite strong. He also looked a lot like the old marshal's son-in-law.
This one is also tall and slender; he's clearly a member of the Li family, much more impressive than the previous one.
And this girl, not only is she fair-skinned and clean-cut, but she's also beautiful, and she looks more like a city person than these city folks.
They were dressed rather plainly, but that makes sense; what nice clothes could they possibly have in the countryside? This was probably the best they could offer.
"Oh, hello." Suti knew they had been looking at them, so she greeted them politely.
If she wasn't mistaken, they were probably nannies from one of the families in the compound. It's always better to be polite than to be rude to someone who's smiling.
"Is Marshal Li really your maternal grandfather? Was he good to you? Will you stay in Beijing in the future? What are Marshal Li's plans for you?"
Several people thought Suti was easy to talk to.
The young girls were shy and didn't dare to contradict them, so several people quickly gathered around to inquire.
They seemed to have forgotten about Old Madam Kang and thought that the Li family had said that on purpose.
This girl, who seems to want to bring honor to her two children, doesn't seem like a strong person at all.
"What do you think? We have something to do, so we'll be leaving now." Su Di knew they wanted to see some excitement.
She couldn't interfere before, but now the Li family is also their family, and she feels that their reputation cannot afford any more accidents.
"Hey, don't go! You guys don't have anything else to do, why don't you chat a little longer?" Several people quickly stepped forward to stop them; they still had things to ask.
It's because these two young people are new to Beijing and know nothing, so they're eager to ask questions. But later on, they won't be able to get any information from them.
"What? You're trying to stop us? If I'm not mistaken, you must be relatives of one of the families in this compound, right?"
"Since you want to talk, that's simple. Why don't we wait until my grandfather comes back, and I'll have him pay you a visit and have a proper chat?"
There's no such thing as a nanny anymore; people just say they're family relatives.
If it were someone else in this compound today, they wouldn't have this attitude.
But these people thought they were newcomers and didn't know anything, so maybe their masters had asked them to find out.
Everyone who lives here is a shrewd and intelligent person!
"Well... then there's no need for that. We don't have anything else to do. We just thought you were new here and didn't know the way, so we wanted to talk to you about it."
The group was surprised when Suti immediately revealed their identities and even said that the old marshal would personally come to visit them.
If that really happens, they won't be able to stay in the compound anymore, and the master of the house won't tolerate them either.
They had originally hoped to find out something to earn merit, but now it seems they won't get any information and have offended someone.
Several people were worried; the old marshal's own grandson and granddaughter-in-law were even more difficult to get along with than that fake one!
"Then I won't trouble you. I can read and write. If all else fails, Grandpa left us a car and guards. They're better than you."
Suti showed them no respect whatsoever, and left without looking back, ignoring what they were saying.
She wanted to use them as a mouthpiece to go out and have a proper talk.
We're all new here and don't know each other well. It's better to be difficult than easy to bully. These people dare to stop us because they think we're easy to bully!
She pulled Wei Baichuan, who had been carefully protecting her and letting her perform, away.
They made it out of the compound without any problems this time. Perhaps many people who were secretly observing them thought they were difficult to get along with and didn't dare to come up to them.
"Wife, the people in this compound seem to be quite extraordinary. Will we be dealing with them in the future?"
Wei Baichuan knew that his wife had her reasons for doing things; she had always been very assertive since arriving in Beijing.
This is completely different from the weak and delicate woman she pretended to be in the countryside.
