"Lu Ze, come quick and help me check if this says I can buy imported goods?"

Lu Ze was also a little surprised to hear the words "imported goods" and came over to take a look.

"Is it an imported product?" Yu Yao was afraid she had misread it.

Lu Ze nodded. "It is indeed an imported product. It should be a reward from the shipyard to my father-in-law."

Yu Yao's eyes lit up, and she asked excitedly, "Lu Ze, what do you think about us buying an imported electric fan?"

In her past life, her landlord had a domestically made electric fan that had lasted for decades without breaking down and was incredibly effective.

Domestically produced ones are in such short supply and not easy to buy. I never thought that I could buy imported ones with a special certificate first.

Lu Ze thought it was a good idea, "That way you can sleep better at night."

It's summer, and the temperature can be quite high even at night.

Although he would fan Yu Yao every night after she fell asleep, it was still not as cool as an electric fan.

"During this time, I'll try to get some more foreign exchange certificates. See if there's anything else you like that you want to buy, we can buy it together."

Although she doesn't like shopping, she was still very happy to hear him say that.

She now finally understands why romance novels love to depict domineering CEOs buying things for the female lead—it's because they're just so incredibly charming.

She also likes to have money to spend, to spend it freely, and to spend it however she wants.

Thinking about having an electric fan to sleep with at night, Yu Yao slept exceptionally well that night.

At two o'clock the next afternoon, Song Yufeng's voice came from the courtyard.

"Yu Yao! Come out quickly! You're the star of today's military dependents' conference. If we get there early, we can get some good seats!"

She raised her voice a little, afraid that Yu Yao wouldn't hear her.

Actually, her voice is about the same as a normal person's, just louder than before.

Unexpectedly, this angered the neighbors.

"What are you shouting for! She's not deaf, why are you yelling so loudly?"

Zhou Yinhua peeked out from next door, cursing, and glared at Song Yufeng.

After having a big argument with Zhao Desheng over the rice crust rolls, Zhou Yinhua went to her uncle's house and stayed there for two days. After another big argument with her cousin's wife, she was still angry and went to her cousin Zhou Yuju's house.

Actually, she came over last night. Smelling the aroma of food coming from next door, she remembered that Zhao Desheng complained that her cooking skills were not as good as Yu Yao's, and he was angry all night.

At today's military dependents' conference, she and Yu Yao were both the focus of attention, but she was there to give a self-criticism, while Yu Yao was there to receive commendation.

The thought of this filled Zhou Yinhua with rage.

Song Yufeng actually dared to shout Yu Yao's name so loudly in front of her. Isn't that just humiliating her?

Song Yufeng was glared at by her. She bit her lip and mustered up her courage to reply, "My voice isn't loud. If you think it's noisy, you, you can go back to your own home."

She used to be too afraid to talk back, but from Yu Yao, she learned that she had to stand up for herself so that others wouldn't dare to bully her.

"You, Song Yufeng, have become bad after hanging out with Yu Yao for a few days and dare to talk to me like that."

Zhou Yinhua rolled up her sleeves, pretending to climb over the wall to hit her, not noticing the iron fence that Yu Yao had planted at the corner of the wall.

He reached out and got pricked on the ground, crying out in pain.

Upon seeing the iron fence, he was about to kick it over.

At this moment, Yu Yao came out of the main room with a stool, looked at her coldly and said, "It seems that the previous lesson has not taught you any better. I don't mind hearing another self-criticism."

She walked to the top of the wall, crossed her arms, and stared at Zhou Yinhua.

Zhou Yinhua felt uneasy under her gaze. "What... what do you want to do?"

Yu Yao said with a smile, "Go ahead and kick them if you dare! I'll pay ten dollars for each one you kick, and fifty dollars for each five you kick!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yinhua quickly pulled her foot back, sat on the low wall, and said with a fierce but weak tone, "What kind of lousy tree is this? You dare to charge ten yuan a tree? I think you're crazy for money!"

After saying that, she jumped back into the yard, leaving behind the words, "I won't fall for your tricks again," and slunk away.

Watching Zhou Yinhua's retreating figure, Song Yufeng leaned close to Yu Yao's ear and said, "Yu Yao, you are the first military wife she's ever been afraid of."

Yu Yao looked away and asked, "Oh, what do you mean?"

“In the past, she wouldn’t care about whether she would have to pay compensation or not, she would just kick it over and that would be the end of it. After kicking it over, she would not admit that she had to pay compensation. She would be like a leech, squatting in the corner every night and acting like a dog, barking and going crazy. Even the military wives who had quarreled with her were fed up with her and said that she would not have to pay compensation, and only then would she stop.”

Yu Yao was truly astonished. "How annoying! Doesn't anyone put a sack over her head and beat her up?"

Song Yufeng chuckled, "Yu Yao, you're really a prophet! It's true!"

When gossip got on her mind, Yu Yao asked, "Which hero is so powerful?"

"The military wife next door just came and had a fight with her over the issue of using a hand pump to pump the well. Zhou Yinhua squatted in the corner at night and pretended to bark like a dog. The military wife got so angry that one night she hid in the corner. When Zhou Yinhua came, she put a sack over her face and scratched her all over."

Seeing that she was interested, Song Yufeng shared the gossip she had collected with her.

The two walked and talked, and soon arrived at the meeting place for the military dependents' conference.

The meeting was held outdoors, on a simple platform set up in the open space in front of the new staff quarters.

Yu Yao and the others arrived early, but they still couldn't get there as quickly as the people living in the new family compound.

When we arrived, there were already several rows of people sitting in front of us.

As Yu Yao was looking for an empty seat, she saw Sun Yu waving at them from the first row, "Yu Yao, Yu Feng, over here, over here!"

Sister-in-law Sun and Aunt Ge saved two seats for them, right in front of the center of the stage.
